Ladies' Cloaks and Jackets.

A new material for rich cloaks is
made Of satin, embroidered in small
designs like those of matelasse silks,
interlined with waddin4 and made
with double face; thesh are black,
brown, or green on the outside, and the
inside is Of a gay-colore9 satin, either
cherry, pale blue, pearl gfay, white, or
dahlia red. They are made in the long
straight shapes that cover the figure

A DETECTIVES EXPERIENCE.
His Successful Undertaking and Escape
from an Impending Fate.
buffalo. n. Y. News.l


One morning several years ago, just as
the dull gray light was beginning to show
itself in the East, small band of men
might have been seen deployed about a
house on Ferry street, in Buffalo. There
was nothing special either in the dress or
appearance of the men to indicate their in
tention, but it was plain that they had
business OF Importance on hand. Sudden
ly man appeared at one of the windows,
soolx in the situation at a glance, and,
swinging himself outward with wonderful
quickness, scaled the roof of the. house.
This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious
counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth and
fully realizing his situation, he defied JUS
tice and the officials below him. Some of
the officers, knowing the desperate charac-
ter of the man, proposed to shoot him I'M
til he was killed, but one of the number
promptly protested, and declared that If
his brother officers would assist him to as
cend he would capture the man alive. Ac-
cordingly he began the difficult and dan
gerous task, and succeeded in bringing his
prisoner to the ground in safety.
The man who accomplished this task
was Mr.. Thomas Curtin, the present Super
intendent of City Police of Buffalo, n. Y.
Mr. Curtin is a man who is known by
every prominent detective and policeman
in America, and he stands pre-eminently
in the front rank of his profession. Quiet
and gentlemanly in appearance and man.
nerS, he possesses courage, combined
with marked physical powers, that make
him the terror of evil-doers and the pride
Of law abiding citizens. Few people can
realize, however, the trials, exposures, and
even privations, to which the members of
every municipal police and fire depart
ment are exposed. Compelled to be on
duty at uncertain hours, subjected to the
most inclement weather, and often neces-
STATED by the nature of their duties to pro-
tracted undertakings, they endure nerv-
Gus and physical strain that is terrible.
Such was the experience of Mr.. Curtin in
former days; and 1t is not surprising that
he found himself suffering from mysteri-
Gus phys trouble. In relating his ex-
perience to a representative of this paper,
he said: X yA e~L
