ROBBERY WITH TRAINED PIGEONS
A new species of robbery has of late
been perpetrated in New York by gang
of young boys, aided by pigeon, the
nodu8 operandi of the thieves was really
very clever. They first threw their
trained pigeon over the fence or wall
into the rear yard of the house they pro
posed robbing, and then two of them
went to the front basement door. They
asked leave of the servant to catch their
pioeon, which had flown into the rear
ward of the house. The request, to all
seeming intent proper one, was inVari-
ABLY granted, and one went intothe yard.
While he was endeayoring to catch the
pigeon, and attracting the attention of
ali In the house to the rear yard, the
other thief glided into the front base
ment with bag and scooped in all silver
ware and valuable property he could lay
hands on, and then promptly skedaddled.
Sufficient time having elapsed, the
pigeon was at once caught, and the
second thief left. The silverware was
then found to be stolen. Quite number
of mansions in the Fifth avenue have in
this way been despoiled. Several boys
ranging from IA to 20 years OF age, have
been arrested for this ingenious and
novel mode of criminal industry.

Prussian army by Krupp, in Essen, bronze
Will again take its place as the material
from which guns for the army of the new
German Empire will be made in the future.
For some time previous to the late war,
bronze was as good as given up altogether as
gun metal, and nothing but Krepp's cast
steel guns were spoken of. But during the
war all the reserve guns were made of bronze.
and have answered admirably. and in fnture

great mark in the war, will be cast Of

metal also; The long twenty-four-pounder

Legal DULLES who ask women impertinent
question in the Wftness-box ought 10 get their
deserts as did the Solicitor General the other
day in the celebrated Tichborne case in Eng
land. The witness was a governess who had
formerly heenemployed in the Tichborne fam
lily. Governesses of England are generally
regarded as beings who are made to be snub-
bed and lnsulted. So the Solicitor General
snubbed and insulted this one while she was
testifying to the identity of the claimant to
the Tlchborne estate with the young heir as
she knew him twenty years before At last
she had chance at him, which she did not
hesitate to improve. "aWas the young man
polite towards ladies ~ asked the Solicitor
General. He was, indeed, very polite to
ladies', replied the governess and, with a
well understood emphasis, she added, " gen.
tleman, believe, always are So" The court
rosm burst into laugh, and the Solicitor
General turned red in the face. sss

BALLOT REGISTER New Haven Journal
says that gentleman of that place has in :
vented registering ballot-box It's mechan
ism is very simple, but at the same time it.
secures the desired result. On the inner side
of the box is slide, which can be slipped
back and forth SO as to cover and uncover
the hole through which the ballots are put.
When voter hands up his ballot, and his
right to vote has been ascertained by the
check list, the slide is pulled back, leaving
the hole open for the entry of the ticket
A the slide is pulled back it rings a small
bell, and at the same time turns a small
wheel over which rolls slip Of paper. The
outside. of this paper has printed upon it
figures from 0 to 20, and each time the slide
is pulled the wheel registers the lumber of
the vote, which number can be seen through
a. small m hole in the box. When twenty votes
have been registered, another wheel, below
the first, registers 90 also, and then each 90
until the number 400 has been reached. By
placing in third wheel the number of 800
can be registered. In this way the total num-
Der of persons who have voted will be cor
rsctly registered by the wheels. If double
voting has been effected it will be disclose d
on the counting of the ballots.
