impression, and we will always be
glad to welcome them when they de

were of the highest class and of the
seven performances they gave there
was nothing in one of them that the
most lastidious could object to. Per
haps the two that attracted most at

A Case Where it iiid Not work,'
It is claimed that circumstantial ev
idence when backed by direct evi
dence is con ;luslve. A case some
times conies up-when all signs, fail.
One d-if last week a gentleman in

pin to Baltimore, after packing the

the box upon his bureau, washed his
hands, put on his-coat and picked up
(as he thought) the package he had
just prepared for shipment and went
to the express office, where he stoocl
by and witnessed the sealing of the
package and took' a receipt thereflr
from the agent. Nothing more was
thought of the matter until-' some
. i
days later when he received a tele
gram which read, "Package received
O. K. but no contents."
He went over in his mind . every
circumstance connected with the
packing and promptly came to the
conclusion that the package had been
robbed in transit. He therefore
handed the telegram to the express
agent for investigation. On going to
his room later he happened to notice
box to the express office.
The gentleman assures us that had
anyone suggested the possibility vof
his having expressed an emi ty box
he would ifave been ready to stake
his life that the box expressed con
tained the j pin, and yet while the
empty box wasSbeing carefully watch
ed the one containing the gem was
carelessly thrown aside. Should it
have it so happened that some one
had seen the second box ajid taken
possession (of it, the result 'would
have been difficult to guess.
