In front of him stood a mite of a boy. He wan alone, but he pointed at the patrolman'» shield and again »aid: “Mamma, buy me that.” It wa» long after dark and Dugan ques tioned the little lad a» to how Lu chanced to Ije abroad at that hour. He an swered that his name wa» Walter Van Victor, that he didn’t know where hi» mother was and that ear ly in the evening “papa r u u il e d away from me and I could uot find him again.” The four year old was takeu to the s tat I on bouse, where hi» confl deuce, affectionate W alter van V ECHTER. disposition and bright manner» endeared him to all the club wielder» from captain down to doorman They petted him, bought him »wee!» and toy», and as they searched for the father who had "runned away.” they took an extra grip of their sticks and frowned ominously. Filially, they had to turn Walter over to the Society for I he Prevention of Cruelty to Children. About that time one bard thinking policeman »uggested that “maybe the kid did not pronounce his name right,” and that perhaps instead of Van Victor it was Van Vechlen. The publication of this surmise brought to the front, a .Mrs. Rol>- ert«, who said t hat Walter Van Vechlen, whom »he identified, had been left in her care by a man of the same name. A few days after ward—on the same day, in fact, when the child wa» abandoned—he took the lad away It didn’t take the authorities long to get a grip on Mr. Van Vechten. In court he denied that the child was his, and pending further inquiry the charge of abandonment waH dropped ami the prisoner was held to answer an accusation of being a disorderly person. Some year» ago Van Vechteij, who is now aged forty, inherited FIO,006, went on a big drunk in New York ami awoke one morning to II ik I a dissolute wo man lying by his si<l<>. She exhibited a marriage certificate ami the man learned on investigation that he had made her his wife the previous evening. Upon a proper presentation of the facts the union was an uulled by a Brooklyn court. The mineral palace now being erected In Pueblo, Colo., will cost about «2-70,- 000. It will be of handsome design, the exterior being a seri«?s of square columns and beautifully polished stone. The carving will be ornate. All parts of the building wil I be made of the products of Colorado's mines, the owners in all the counties in the state having sent in their choicest ami richest Hj>ecimeus. In the interior will be seen every variety of mineral production from stone and coal to pure gold, tlie value of which will be at least «750,000. It is intended to be a permanent ex hibit, ojien every day the year round, an«l its originators desire to have the choicest specimens of mineral wealth from every state iu the Union repre sented side by side with the resources of Colorado. Building stone, granite and marble are also desired. The building will be lighted by 3,000 incandesceut electric lights. It is the intention to re produce this iu duplicate of design ami brilliancy of decoration and display, but somewhat reduced in size, as the Colo rado mineral exhibit for the World's fair in Chicago in 1892.—New York Telegram.
