THE PRETTY JEWEsS THIEF
Sentenced TO Two Years and a
Half in the Penitentiary.
snscinl to Cincinnati Gazette. ]

Special to Cincinnati Gazette.l
New York, July 28.-Miss Eva
Jacobs, the pretty Jewess whose sys-
tenn Of sneak thieving in Brooklyn
baffied the police for long time, be-
cause she practiced it in the guise of a
fashionable young lady, appeared at
tho: bar of the Kings county Court of
Sessions yesterday, to plead guilty to
an indictment for grand larceny. Her
rich wearing apparel, which had been
taken from her in the Jail by its
owner, was replaced by a black silk
dress and plumed white hat, Dor
rowed for the occasion from friend
of hers.
When the Assistant District Attor-
ney moved for sentence, her attorney
Jere. Weinberg, said he wished to
make an appeal for the mercy OF the
curt for Miss Jacobs. She was, he
said, eighteen years old, and had two
younger sisters. Until year ago she
was hard working girl. She gave up
her employment to go home and care
for her sick father. He was obliged
to 60 to haspital, and the girls were
left to struggle for themselves. Eva
tried in vain to get back her old en-
ployment, and for time she lived as
domestic in a family. On July B
1890, she went with some of her shor
girl acquaintance to picnic. She
took some wine, which intoxicated
her, and she knew nothing until mex
morning, when she found herself in &
room in this city. Thenceforward she
led reckless life, but committed ne
crime. One dav she had occasion to
make call, aud as the lady Of the
house was absent, Miss Jacobs yielded
to the temptation to take some trim
kets. Being undecided she became
bold and followed the career which
ended in arrest. She was now pen
niless and penitent.
Judge Moore said that in consider,
alton Of her youth, her former goot
character, and the fact that many O
the goods stolen had been returned
it had been decided to accept hel
plea Of guilty to an attempt at grand
larceny. There must, however, b.
some punishment for this, and Will,
he had strong objections to sending
any young girl to the penitentiary, h,
could not avoid the duty imposed upoI
him. He therefore sentenced her t,
the penitentiary Tor two and hal
years.
Miss Jacobs seemed stunned for
moment, and then uttered piercini
scream, tottered, and would have fall
en-, but the court Office caught her il
his arms. She uttered shrek afte
shrek, and sObbed convulsively. Sh
was removed in the prison van to tn
penitentiary, where she was put in tn
coarse garb worn by female convicts
She will be put to work at once in tn
| shoe shop.

An EnviabIe Reputation.

1t is with pleasure we allude to the
manufactures Of the well known
chemists, Joseph Burnett & Co., Of
Boston. They have won by their
merits and attractiveness a place
beyond that occupied by any other
similar manufactured goods in this
country.
Their Cocoaine for the hair, and a
superior Cologne water, have become
famous for their excellence.
In addition to these preparations
are Burnett's standard Flavoring Ex-
tracts for cooking purposes, and we
cannot show better evidence of their
superiority than by referring our
readers to the testimonials Of all the
leading popular hotels in the country.
These are published in Burnett's
Floral Hand Book, an attractive and
valuable little pamphlet which is dis
tributed gratuitiously by the trade.
All respectable dealers ellBurnett's
select goods, and all lovers of choice
things will do we'll to buy them in
preference to the cheap and impure
articles now in the market.

man. They are manikins. A hundred
errors but no betrayals or lies can be
attributed 10 Roscoe Conkling. A
thousand ways can be pointed out
whereby he could have saved
himself, but he would have
been other than himself
to take one Of them. He was
bitter politician, and a powerful one.
Statesman is something he never was.
As we'll call Ingersoll theologian as
Conkling statesman. What will 60
OF him into his history will be mix
ture of oratory and ofice-mongering
We wish some words for his whole
country we're in his record, but there
are none. He gave his tongue to
vituperation of opponents and to the
! invention of indaming and dividing
issues. His personal public career is
really warning, but he has been
undone by those whose largest virtues
are smaller than his least defects.
Their success in pulling him down ad-
vertises them to more conspicuosity
than the affirmative acts of their lives.
Mr.. Conkling is a politician who i'm
passionated machinism. The time is
against the ism, but those who hoored
him will beg him to teach them how
to run machine. They cannot learn
that it requires manhood.

A SOCIAL SHERIFF.
And How He Was Left by
Couple of Horse Thieves.

The Fort Buford correspondent Of
the Bismarck Tribune says Tire,
horse thieves were encamped at the
Big Muddy close to Bob Matthew
house, Mr.. Aleck Aheart, our Deputy
Sheriff, with a " sojer" named Lynch
stole down upon them at daybreak
they were toasting their bacon aad
frying flip flaps. They invited hin
to breakfast and he responded with 4
vim that showed conclusively that 1
twenty-four mile ride had given hin
an appetite. He chatted pleasantly
with the light-6ngered gent, but al
the time keeping his eagle eye upon
the men and ten United States horse:
and a mule that they had sniped from
Fort Assinniboine.
After breakfast he arrested them In
the name of the president, queen, etc.
He marched the horses and men uI
to the house and everybody responded
promptly to an invitation to drink.
The soldier was working the breech'
block OF his gun behind one of the
thieves, when the man cooked re-
volver, showed it in the soldiers face
and told him to throw up his hands
He dropped his gun and run up bis
hands in just one-half second. The
thief oomplimented the soldier on his
bravery, then "set 'em up again
The sheriff had a description of hi:
horses; which tailed exactly with the
property they had in their possession
They argued that they had bought the
stock, while Aleck had everything to
prove that it was stolen. They argued
and treated, and treated and argued
until the middle Of the day, when one
of the thieves, a cork legged individual
bet drinks for the crowd with the sher
| iif, that there was no brand on thu
horses. All hands went out, exam
ined the stock, and came to the con
clusion that the brand was as plain al
the nose on mans face. Los
again." cried cork-leg. Then al
hands circled to the bar. While the.
we're imbibing two of the thieye
mounted two horses, and drove all th,
horses off except one old horse be
| longing to the individual that lost tn
drinks. All hands then adjourned t,
the sidewalk just in time to see tn
knights Of the road disappear over tn
bluff.
Before Aleck could recover hi
wits, the one remaining thief mounte
his horse, telling the Sheriff that h
would bring back those id hors
thieves, rode rapidly across the bottor
and Joined his companions. TIL
| Sheriff, with one white man and tw
soldiers, followed them twenty mile
and overlook them, when the thieve
tauntingly invited them to come close
than two hundred yards and have
drink. Then, almost Immediately
they fired a volley at our party. Tire
bullets struck one saddle, when a
hands went to grass quite lively
There are prints of noses in th
ground where the posse Rugged th
bunch grass for dear life. The thieve
sang out, TIA, ia, bye, byel" and ava
they went. The Sheriff s horse bein
pretty we'll blowed by that time, the
concluded it was sheer nonsense

returned to the Big Muddy, gettin
there at daylight, sadder and wise

until he has the shackles on him.

PiHsburg Glassware Reporter.l
From present indications there is
every probability that the trade in
pressed glass and table ware will be
very large during the coming months
of August and September, probably
exceeding in the aggregate any we
have had yet for the same period. The
number oil buyers already in this city
is unusually large, and the inquiries
by mail are numerous and extensive.
There will be plenty Of work for the
manufacturers, and they will hnd
ready sale for all the ware they
can produce. This is, However, only
one side of the question, aud we
only wish that we could present
an equally roseate picture of the
other side. Candor, however, compels
us to state that prices are low, and
there are no indications of any i'm

large sales will help to Offset this draw.
back. but still it is none the less a
disadvantage, as it involves an i'm
mense amount of work, with very
slight remuneration in comparison
with the time and capital expended.
To those who are DESTROYS of expert.
menting in the business Of glass max
ing, we would therefore say, that
although there may be a good market
for glassware, yet it affords only very
moderate returns at the present, anC
offers very precarious Investment fol
capital. Those that learn from the
experience Of others are generally
wise.
