UNDER THE WING OF LOVE.
A Burglari0Hs Loyelace PurlOins Shoes
Under False Pretenses.

In the month OF September, 1876, Mr..
F. Andrieu,a shoemaker doing business
at 159 Poydras street, appeared before
the First Municipal Police Court and
swore out an affidavit charging one s.
w. Curtis, prominent negro politician,
with having at different times in the
months Of August and September, 1876.
broken into his shoe store at night, and
carried off large number OF ready
made shoes.
Curtis was arrested and brought be-
fore Judge Evans, who was presiding at
that time, and placed under bonds for
his appearance. A professional negro
bailsman, named Moses Briggs, became
the surety in the case. Curtis, feeling
that it was as much as his liberty was
worth to stand q trial by jury, knowing
that the evidence was conclusive
against him, had
NO SOONER BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL
than he left his bondsman In the lurch
by quitting New Orleans. He remained
away from the Crescent City until the
23d of last month, when he returned
to the place Of his crime.
Moses Briggs, his bondsman, hearing
that he had returned to the city, set the
police authorities on his track, who
succeeded in arresting him. He was
yesterday brought before Judge Klein
peter on preliminary examination.
The evidence went to show that Cur
tbs, for the purpose Of carrying out his
plans, had taken into his confidence q
negro girl who was employed as a SER
want in the photographers establish
ment adjoining the shoe store of Mr..
Andrieu's on Poydras street.
This girl slept in the third story Of
the photograph establishment, and at
midnight she would let Curtis into the
house and then into her bedroom.
CURTIS, AS SHE STATED,
would extend plank from her bed
room window to the nearest window in
the third story Of the shoe store, by
which he effected an entrance into the
shoe store.
Once in the building he would bring
a large bundle Of shoes and hand them
out of the window to her, and she
would take them into her room.
This. she said, was very easily man
aged, as the distance between the win
of work was carried on by that beauti-
full pair of rogues until the detectives
were put on the scent, and the girl be-
coming frightened for fear Of being
found out and sent to the peniten-
tiary. told the officers that if they
would grant her her liberty she would
tell all she knew about it end give away
her pal.
THE DETECTIVES KNOWING
that she was the only person who could
give any testimony worth having, prom
ised her that she would not be punished,
and she made confession duplicating
Curtis.
On her testimony, Of which the FORE
going is synopsis, Judge Kleinpeter
sent the accused before the Superior
larry and grand larceny, under two thous-
and dollars bonds.
Curtis failed to furnish the bail and
WAS remanded to the Parish Prison.

A Fifteenth Amendment Finds Himself In
Bad Fix.
On the Esd day Of July, 1869, Allen
Collins, a son of tawny Africa, agreed
to cherish for better or for worse Nancy
Morehead; and bravely did he keep his
word until the 18th day of February,
1877, when he welded Priscilla Wallace,
before J. Paris Childress.
His discarded wife, Nancy, hearing of
his deed, appeared before Judge Klein
peter, and swore out an affidavit charg-
ing him with bigamy.
He was yesterday arraigned before
Judge Kleinpeter, and the evidence
showing that he had committed the
crime Of bigamy, he was sent before the
First District Court under $3.50 bonds.
Collins failed to furnish the bail and he
went to the Parish Prison.

THE FACILITIES FOR AuoMENTIse THIS FORCE.
There is no suoh thing - CONSUMPTION known
to British institutions IL ia true but the United
Kingdom Is divided into what are called brigade
subdistricts, to each Of which is apportioned two
battalions Of militia, which are bril-
gaded with two regular battalions, in
what Ia known ~ the "Plan Of Mobilization"
These militia battalions are regularly enlisted,
are bound to drill certain number Of days ID
the year and receive certain pay and allowances.
They are subject TO be called out by vote Of Par
lament or order in council, either for home or
foreign service, and when called out are added rs
second, third or fourth battalions, ~ the case
may be, TO the regular rsgiments with which
they are brigadod. At present there are 40 bat.
talions Of the
aggregating about 100000 mep. Back of this
force Ia . second line Of reserve, known as the
Volunteers, who differ from the militia only in
that they do not receive any pay for the time oc-
cupisd In drill and are not subject to serve out
side the United Kingdom. These volunteers are
somewhat more numerous than the militia, and
may be called out in time Of war for garrison
duty to relieve the regulars who may be sent
abroad. But still back Of all these organizations

yet failed to respond to the rattle of

young John Bull to volunteer In time OF war, it
must be known the militia has never been called
out for foreign service only once since It's organi
zation. That Was In 1916, for the campaign that
ended Ut Waterloo. The general supposition
seems to be that Waterloo was won by the veter-
ans Of the six years war in the Peninsula but the
fact is. that Of the $4,000 English troops who
bore the brunt Of that day, trife, over $4,000
were militia, established ~ second and third bat
talions, and Waterloo WAS their first fight. TSee
dispatches OF the Duke Of Wellington and Sir @.
Knights History.l The veterans Of Spain and
the Pyrenees had been sent to India and Amer
lea. In 1854, at the beginning Of the Crimean
struggle, over 10000 recruits were raised in
little over two months, and there was no occa-
sion for calling out the militia.
In addition to the militia battalions Of Infantry
there is corps OF
VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY,
sufficient when called out to raise the regular ar
tillery force to very near the maximum standard,
and there is also force OF cavalry called the
Yeomanry, organized on plan similar to that Of
the militia, and sustaining the same relation to
the regular cavalry a. the latter sustains to the
regular infantry. The following table shows the
aggregate strength Of the British army on war
footing. based upon the plan Of mobilization. In
this estimate 1t will be observed that the full

THE CAVALRY REGIMENTS
are organized upon the same elastic plan, but
they are augmented by simply increasing the
number of troops and squadrons, not by adding
new battalions. The ordinary peace footing Of q
British regiment OF cavalry is eight troops Of
sixty five to seventy men each, or total force Of
$40 to $50. This strength may be augmented in
time Of war to sixteen troops Of 100 men each.
though 1t is rare that more than twelve troops are
put into any regiment. The
ARTILLERY BRIaApEs,
like the regiments OF infantry and cavalry. are
perpetual organizations. They are 81 in number,
of which are called horse brigades: that il to
says, have the cannoneers mounted; while the
other 25 are called field or fort artillery. The
peace minimum Of an artillery brigade lie S bat
teries of guns and $50 men, or total of 80
guns and $50 men; the war maximum being Il
s.pun batteries OF 200 men each, or total OF 96
guns and 2400 men. BY means Of this peculiar
organization the total force OF the British
army may vary from about 10000 to
$50. 600 men, without establishing single new
regiment, and ell the troops will be on the foot
ing of regulars as soon as enrolled. The army,
however. has never been recruited to its maxi
mum., The greatest number Of troops ever under
arms in the British service at one time was in
1854. when the total force reached $4,000. The
next largest was in 1sl415, when 240,0 names
anpeared on the British muster roll. The small
eat fore. ever provided for by Parliament since
177s was In 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920, when the
army ranged from 10000 to $4,000 strong
