How Hotel Thieves Work.


The crack hotel thieves ordinarily travel
in pairs, although they are, to all appear
ances, unknown to each other. The first
night after registering at hotel they sleep
late, and when reused by the chambermaid
request her to call them at noon. When the
maid has completed her labors in the corri-
dor in which her rooms are located, and
while one thief stands on watch his confed-
crate effects an entrance to an unoccupied
room by means of a skeleton key, and closes
the door behind him.
He then rapidly bores a hole Immediately
over the bolt, and sfills up each end with
white putty. II the lock is double one, as
is the case in many first-class hotels, small
hole is drilled through it. so that the nippers
can be used on the inside lock in turning the
key after the victim has retired. A halt

within an hour. This completes the work
for the morning. The afternoon is used in
making themselves "solidn with the regular
guests over the bar and in watching the reg
ister for guests assigned to the ''fixedn rooms.
When every one has gone to bed one thief
resumes his watch and pipes of" the watch
men while his confederate works the rooms
This is done in short order, and the thieves
are away by daylight. The tools used by
the hotel thieves are Of the finest tempered
steel, and consist Of q "bar-key," used for

for either stem or tumbler locks; small
drill, q file, sectional stem or awiddy,"

A Boy Emperor's Grounds.
GBelgravia.l


Wonderful ingenuity was displayed in so
planning the Chinese emperor's palace as to
secure the greatest variety Of situation and
to command the most varied views. Every
natural feature of the ground has been elab-
GRATED so as to produce charming landscapes
which could scarcely be recognized as arti-
fetal; hills of from ten to sixty feet in heigh
were constructed, divided by little valley
and watered by clear streams forming cas-
cades and lakes, one of which was five miles
in circumference. On its calm waters
floated beautiful pleasure boats, including
one magnificent house-boat for the amuse-
ment OF the ladies of the palace.
In every direction winding paths led to
quaint little pavilions and charming grot-
toes, while artificial rock-work was made
the nursery for all manner of beautiful flow
ers, much care being bestowed OH securing
a great variety for every season of the year.
Towering treas were scattered over the
grassy hills, and their blossoms perfumed
the air. Each stream was crossed at fire.
quent intervals by most picturesque and
highly ornamental bridges of wood, brick,
or freestone, adorned with fanciful kiosks,
in which to repose while enjoying the view.
The triumph of art was TO make these
bridges twist about in such an extraordinary
manner that they were often three times as
long as if they had been led in direct line.
Near some of them We're placed some very
remarkable triumphal arches either of elab-
orate-carved wood or marble.

KINGS OF THE ROAD.
william II. Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner
Running a Race-The Result.

william II. Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner
Running a Race The Result.
New York Letterl
The most observed of the drivers are
William II. Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner
The former is in bad health but he has not
missed an afternoon of the rare diversion.
He wears cap of unplucked beaver, the
longer hairs of which stands out bristlingly
from his head like the quill from porcupine.
The collar and sleeves of his ample coat, too,
are fur trimmed, and by reason of flesh and
garb he nearly fills the width of the light
sleigh in which he sits alone. No lackey
accompanies him, and when he pulls mp at a
wayside inn it is the hostler who gets the
job of holding the horses These beasts are
Lysander AMI Aldine, a pair which he has
driven on the track in 2:20, AMI which draw
him through the snow for short distances at
nearly il not quite that pace.
Bonner uses a team composed of Rarus
and Pickard. but they are not an ideal
match, for when urged TO their fastest Rarus
,orgeS ahead of Pickarl like the running
mate to a trotter in race. Bonner's head
is big and odd, the diameter being as great
from front to back as from side to side, and
that peculiarity is magnifed by the huge
otter cap which he wears. On the avenue
northward from Central park, where the
speeding of the horses to sleighs is chiefly
done, are the hostelries of Gabe Case and
HJedge" Smith, about a mile apart. Wander
bilt stops to drink at both places, but Bon
ner never at either.
Just as Vanderbilt drove out from under
Cases shed Bonner came along. A race en-
sued. Vanderbilt is not a handsome reins-
man. He leans anxiously forward, in an
attitude suggesting that the reins are cast
iron, and that with them he is pushing
rather than guiding the horses. Bonner
sits well back in his cutter, and his hands
lie in his lap, even when he is holding hard
But both shouted to their horses occasion
ally, after the manner of professionals in
citing racers 10 the utmost exertion. They
kept alongside for half a mile; after that
Vanderbilt's nags drew ahead; and on his
pulling up at Smiths he had to wait two or
three seconds for Bonner to arrive

our compatrotS One, an eminent arJlsJ,
who was something Of an invalid, was en-
thusiastic over the delicious air and glorious
scenery of the place. Those winter days in
Cuautla were all like our ideal June weather
at home no said There was no intense
heat, while cold and chilliness were absolute
strangers Mexico he regarded as superior
to Florida as a winter refuge. In these
warm lands beside the endless scenic va
riety. there was an unchanging climate all
through the winter; at least on the Pacific
side of the mountains On the gulf slope, as
ut Orisaba there were occasional fogs, rain,
and raw northerS
"And then there are no mosquitoes here"
said another friend. Il have never seen a
land so free from them. The few insects one
meets here are really contemptible; feel in
clined to pity them for their feebleness.'
1t is, indeed, great mistake for people to
come to Mexico from the north in the win
ter and confine themselves to the capital
They experience the chilly weather which
now and then visits the high regions of the
central tableland at that season, and with
the abrupt transitions Of cold and heat from
morning to noon and night they at times
feel more discomfort than in their wintry
northern homes where genial hearth fires
glow, until at last they perhaps leave for
home in disgust, anathematizing the
whole country. All this is mis-
take, when on every hand are pleas
ant places like Cuautla within easy
reach of the capital by rail, journey
ing to which might fill many weeks with a
round of health-giving pleasure, novel
scenes greeting the eye everywhere. There
is much of the greatest interest to tourists
to be seen in and around the capital, but
there are pleasanter winter abiding places
near by 1t is, however, a good central
point from which to make agreeable tours
all over the country. Now that railway
communication with the United States is
completed, there will be many pleasure
travellers to Mexico. When they come,
they should remember that there are rich,
warm valleys, down below, close at hand,
where simple existence seems a luxury,
amid the delicious airs of genuine tropical
surroundings.

The Influence of Writers.

lutpIst IcttST.I
wish you thoroughly to understand that
the writers who have most profoundly in
fuenced me-who have rolled away the
waters from their bed, raised new noun
tains and spead delicious valleys for me-are
not in the least oracles to me. 1t is just
possible that | may not embrace one of their
opinions; that l may wish my life to be
shaped quite differently from theirs.
For instance, it would signify nothing to
me if a very wise person were to stun me
with proof that Rousseau's views Of life,
religion and government are miserably
erroneous-that he was guilty Of some Of
the worst "basSesses' that have degraded
civilized man. l might admit all
this; and it would not be the less true that
Rousseau's genius has sent that electric thrill
through my intellectual and moral frame
which has awakened me to new perceptions;
which has made man and nature a fresh
world of thought and feeling to me; and
this not by teaching me any new belief.
1t is simply that the rushing mighty wind
of his inspiration has 50 quicksnei my
faculties that have been able to shape
moro definitely for myself ideas which had
previously dwelt as dim Ahnungen in my
soul; the fire of his genius has 50 fused
together old thoughts and prejudices that
have been ready to make ne W combinations

A Heavy Game of Cards.


Prince Demidoff, just dead, dispersed, .

expended to start good sized kingdom !

membrauce is that it brought over SO, 0oO, 900
and many months were occupied in its sale.
Not long after the prince lost $1,000, 900 of
the $40 coo, 900 in a gambling bout at Mad
rid, the winner being the son Of Prussian
cabinet minister of high rank, and the affair
involved considerable scandal at the time.
1t was the highest play known in Europe
in recent years, perhaps the highest ever
known, casting into the shade the exploits Of
Sarcia the celebrated Spanish gambler,
who, after winning and losing dozen
princely fortunes, died a few years ago in
Paris of destitution and hunger. The foun-
dation Of the Demidof fortune was laid by
old Anatole, grandfather of the recently de-
ceased prince, who owned iron mines and
works in Russia and died the richest man in
the empire ami one of the ricLest in the
world

Like one who hears with sudden throb Of
The lingering cadence of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes of some vanished
gladness
With tender pain,
So stand now with mingled pain and pleas
After long absence, at a well-known door
Which guarded once my darling, my hearts
treasure,
In days of yore
Still bloom the roses with their old-time
Round this dear cottage in my native land;
Trimmed is the hedge with all its wontsd
neatness;
The old elms stand
Still slopes the lawn in beautiful gradation,
Like a soft carpet of the richest green:
Still leaps the fountain with its light pulsa-
Frightening the scene.
Years have not changed it; now as then the
Winds in the distance like a silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
Aud brightly gleam-
All! but no voice of sweetest meditation
Nor ripping laughter greets my listening
ear;
All the brigh scene but breathes in desola-

"She is not here!"
sNot herel not here! the murmuring elm
trees sigh it,
The rustling grass repeats it meath my

Her cherished roses mournfully reply it
In odors sweet
Ger the soft lawn tho shadows westward

Darkly enfold me at the rose-girt door
In deeper shadows lies my dear love sleep

Old Paunclous Pilot.

lDoseoh Evening hcSDiuI
Gen. Henry K. Oliver is celebrated almost
as much for his wit as he is as composer of
church music. The general and friend,
who was a stranger in Boston, were walking
down Washington street one afternoon when
their attention was attracted to very
large man wearing a heavy blue overcoat,
who was approaching. He was a man who,
from his enormous proportions and great
breadth of stomach, would have been noticed
anywhere, and, moreover, there were traces
of salt water about him.
"Who is that man!' inquired his friend of
Gen Oliver.
THAT man." said the general. assuming a
very solemn look, lis 1900 years old"
"You surely cannot mean that" said the
other.
Il do" replied the general, "and his name
is Paunchous Pilot
The subject of the remark was one of the
best known pilots in Boston.

A Nuisance and Danger in Germany.
London Saturday Review

OF late years the number of German
tramps have been steadily increasing until
it has reached a figure which is incon.
veniently high, if not alarming. In some
districts from ten to fifteen of these wan
derers will daily implore aims at wayside
cottage or in a lonely village, while the men
are busy in the fields, and as their wives and
daughters. partly from good nature and
partly from fear, hardly like to refuse a
crust, no inconsiderable tax Is levied on the
honest and the Industrious. 1t Is only parts
of the country which offer unusual attrac.
tions to the vagabond which are subjected
to such a visitation as this; but no place Is
entirely free from annoyance.
According to one estimate the number Of
tramps in Germany last year amounted to
200,0OO, and the expense they caused the
community amounted to ~ 2,0O0, ,OOO marks;
and though from the difficulty of obtaining
accurate information it is impossible to rely
on such a calculation, most Of those who
have made the matter a subject Of study
seem to think it fairly correct
