OBJECTIONS OVISBRULED Why a Newspaper Maa Changed Boardlag Houses ' Uerchsat Traveller.' Btn RIdgely, a Louisville (Ky.) newspaperman, who for the first twenty veara of his life had been accmtomcd to feeding on champagne atd diamond-back terrapin, haa for the last twenty years been having a catch-ae-c&lch-can wrestling match with the usual boardlng-housa spread, and Is still alive, but weak. One day early In the spring he went to his landlady with a complaint. “Madam,” he said, with a demi-semi-quaver In his voice, and a piece of wetness In each eye about as big as buckshot, “haven’t I been a pretty good boarder for the two years I have been with you'’” “Why, Mr. RIdgely, of course you have. Only yesterday a lady asked me how long you had been a mnnber of ths Young Men’s Christine Association,” replied the lady in sun rise. “Xts; and, when you gave us eggs with feathers od, did I ever kick?” “Whs—what's that’ stammered the woman, thrown off her balance by the suddenm ss of the blow. “And did I ever Insist on your clipping thtir wings!” “Sir, I don’t ” “And didn’t I keep right on, even though you let the butter wear Its hair banged, when you knew I hated bangs ?” “Mr. RIdgely, this is going to ” . “And did I complain, when I found a button In my pie, because there wasn’t a bu tonhole In the flap ?” “Sir, I won’t stand this any ” “And did I report you to "the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty when I picked that poor, helpless cockroach out of the b.scuit ?” “Shut up, you ” “Yes: and when I found a minnow (n the milk did I a#k you whether you milked your cow with a fishing-pole or a seine ?” * * W ha—wha—wha ’ ’ “Don’t mention It madam ! When the steak was a little tough, was I one of the boarders who sent a buzz-saw and a steamengine to the house “And did I ever object to paying for furniture repairs because ths bread was so heavy that, when I swallowed It, It knocked the bottom of the chair out?” “You mean good-for-nothing ’’ “Don’t get excited, madam! Did 1 ever Inquire whether you drew your tea with a windlass or s chain-pump?” “O, you villain, you wretch, you ” “I hear you, madam; and 1 want to a=k if I ever reflected on your molasses-can by asking If you had a patent on that fly trap?” “O—o—o you—& ” “I aak, ‘Madam, did I ever do any of these things?’ And I answer by saying. ‘Never— no, never.’ Therefore, I want to know why in thunder—excuse my forcible language, please—when they bring me a plate of soap

In a half minute he put his band back into the same pocket and pulled out a plug of tob cco and with it the little roll of bills which fell on the pavement.

Some one going the other way saw the roil tile moment after it fell, picked It up, put It In his pock et, and In a dozen steps got into a street car, and the money was gone. The finder didn’t know how it got there, probably, and only “picked up his luck.” The loser probably has no idea where he lost it. If he hadn't much sense or conscience, he might charge “drugeery and robbery” on the saloon he came out of, for hit condition might easily make him forget when or how he left it.

Low Watar.

The river is pretty nearly as low as a cholera patient In a “collapse.” It appears to the “river reporter” that it has rarely been lower. The largest sized catfish send suckers ahead to sound the channel, and an unfamiliar bass had to spar himself over the starch works “riffie,” by his fins this morning. Served him right. The bass is the Indian of this civlll/ed and high scented region and has no more bust ness here than one of Tecumseh’s Delaware braves. An inconsiderate turtle—the turtle is a stupid citizen anyhow, a sort of aquatic greenbacker, so to speak—scared off a log by a boy and a stone at the Vincennes bridge, dived suddenly and drove his head and neck into the mud up to hit shoulders, and stuck there waving back and forth like the tail of the comet In Symmes’s Hole, which makes the Northern lights. There are no frogs in the river any more. The frog is as cleanly as a Christian—ought to be, and takes his tilth “straight " Tnat In the river Is feafuliy mixed. A stranded sucker at the Morris street bridge unloosed the draw-string of his mouth till it spread as wide as Dave Gooding’s, and proceeded to swallow sand enough to icoop his way into deep water. The river bed is a sort of sandy plain, a smalt Libyai de>art, spread with sm:r, weed and sand bars, with tbe stream wandering about in it from side to side, like the roadway in an old time Indianapolis street. It is a stranger In its own land, and does not know where to go, or which Is the way to get out. Oh, but the river is mighty lew, as lower it g)es the sandbar grows, and corrals the cattiah In holes and puddles, and leaves the suckeryes, that Is what It is up to, it is leaving the sucker to lay his sorrowing head on a stone and shed salt tears over a desolation

Gambling Dying Out, A professional gambler who has just returned to New York from a western tour reports that gambling 1 dying out In the west, few houses being open and the stakes so small that they sre hardly worth playing for. Even on the Mississippi boats gambling is strictly prohibited. New Orleans, with its licensed tables, appears to be the gambler’s only refuge.

A STAGE NECKLACE Modieska’s Gems and Harry Sargent’s OuestlonaMe Resources. Mr. H. J. Sargent, the manager of Mme. Janlseh for the coming season, In conversation witn a New York reporter, made acleaa bretstof his old diamond trick the other

day.

“Why,” said he, “when Modjeska was employed by me she had not enough diamonds to buy a loaf of bread with. 1 had to advance her the money to come on here from California with, and when we began the season she was in my debt very nearly 1,000. You can Imagine, then, that when she first played Camille at the Fifth Avenue theater there were no diamonds to exhibit. But when we had played several towns aad got through with Boston we began to feel a little easier. I had tome money in my pocket and so had she. One day we were walking along King sireet, in Montreal, and we passed a jeweler’s just next door to the theater. In the window was a magnificent diamond necklace. Modjeska and I feasted oureyisupon it, and then I slid that wa might as well go in and see It. She protested. ‘What was the good?’ but I eild, ‘It may do us good to handle it, anyway.’ Bo we went in and asked the man in charge of the store to see the necklace in the window. He recognized us, aud taking it out, said It would be just the thing for the madame. We nudged each othei as if it were a delicious joke. Then he told us It had been made for Mary Anderson, but she had never come to claim it. I thought Mary had been going it rather strong, and then asked him the price of it; ‘£8,’said he,‘140.’ We were both astonished ‘I’ll give $35 for it,’ said I, and the bargain was concluded. I took the necklace away (so far Modjeska had been playing Camille with a queer old necklace that fell to pieces nearly every night—many a time I mended it.) The next day I bad a box made with bands of brass, a strong padlock, and handles on both ends for two men to carry. When I got to Chicago I put the necklace 1» this strong box; and one night after the performance I walked up to the office of the hotel and had a man lift the box onto the counter. ‘Put that 1r the safe,’ I said. They looked at ihe box and said they never could get a box like that In the safe. • Well,’ said I, ‘you put a notice In every room that you won’t be responsible for valuables unless they are left In the safe, and here It Mme. Mod jeska’s (40,000 necklace. I want you to

take charge of it.’ By this time there was a sOAf®. crowd around the counter eyeing the box. Soabie crow The clerk didn’t k»ow what to do. l, - h —™

‘Strange.’ said I. ‘that the present Mme. Modjeska got from the czar of Russia can’t be properly protected. Then get two po Ucemen and put them to guard the box ail night, and I’ll pay them myself The policemen were got and they sat on each side of the box of $35 diamonds till 12 next day. Nothing more was necessary for me to do. The papers were full of the czar’s $10,000 diamonds, and Modjetki’# jewelry was one

of the attractions of the season.

“Rhea? Well, Rhea didn’t have enough money when she came over here to pay one day’s hotel bill. But she had bought a few paste diamonds in Paris before leaving. They were worth fully $50, because they were very well set. The czar of Russia got the credit for these, too. It was a magnificent parure, which lie had presented her with when she played at the Imperial theater. Both events antedated Patti’s czar diamonds, you will see, though If they are no more genuine than Modjeska’# and Rhea’s it Is simply the same old trick. But we managed to get a good boom out of the diamonds, even !■ her case. No end of reporters deecrloed them, but who were given a

very cursory view.”
