IN the early days of MethOdism in Scot

was but one rich man, desired to build q
new chapel. A church meeting was held.
The old rich Scotchman rose and said ::

ceiling hit him on the head.

Labouchere on Victor Hugo.

The French are right in making .
fuss over the death of Victor Hugo. He
was singular compound of genius and
guSh. Often he was sublime; often he
was silly. There are passages in LES
Miserables" equal to anything that has
been written, and there are others be-
meath anything that mas been read. His
principal fault was eXaggeration. Thus,
in LES MiSerables' he spoiled his good
bishop by making him carry benero-
lence beyond the verge of realty.
There is. too. a vast amount of ..hiyh-
falutin' in his plays. 1t is but one step
from the sublime to the ridiculous, and
he was perpetually overstepping the
line. l should fancy that his ''Notre
Dame de Paris" is his novel that is most
likely to live. There is a good deal of
mere padding in it. but it is fairly free
from exaggerations and word piling
The French, however, who are always
caught by a phrase. admired him as
much on account of his dement's as of
his merits. He was good enough. when
on his death-bed, to announce that he
believed in God. and This patronizing
recognition of the Almighty by so great
q Frenchman seems to have filed his
countrymen with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

No Sympathy Among the MeNicanS FOR
Americans-The Old Sore Not Healed.
ST. LOUIS, July 21.-Senor Juan CorteZ,
of chihuahua, Mexico, passed through the
city to-day en- route to Chicago on a bust
ness TIP. Senior COrtez, speaking to a
press representative at the Lindell Hotel
this morning. said that the proposed scheme
for the purchase and annexation of the
Mexican States OF Chihuahua and Coahuilla
by the United States could only have origi-
mated on this side of the Rio Grande.
1.-The Mexicans do not love the people of the
United States" said he, mo matter what
may be said about the good feeling
between the two Governments. In
saying the 'Mexicans,' l refer, Of
course, to the common people, who
go to make up the bulk of the nation,
and not to the higher classes. The edu-
Gated Mexican bears no illwill against this
country, but the large majority Of our
people never forget that you took California
from US and beat us in battle. Those facts
still rankle in their breasts, and rather than
let chihuahua or any other part of our
country become part of the United States,
no matter what the consideration, think
that they would fight again. The life OF
an American in the small towns of Mexico
is anything but pleasant, and few of them
can stand the tauntS and jeers with which
they are received. In the larger cities 1t IS
different Oh no, the time when the Mex
lean and American will mingie in friendly
relationship is still at great distance. The
would like to bring the two
countries closer together, but they viii

SEDAIIA, Mo-, July 22.-The reports Of
the defalcatiOnS of Emmett King, the book
keeper of the SedaEa Savings Bank, which
have been current for nearly week, were
doubted by many and denied by the bank,
though known to be true by few. The
following card published yesterday told the
tale which could no longer be suppressed:
"To the public: At meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Sedalia Savings Bank this
day held it was deemed just alike 10 the
bank and the public to state that the bank
has sustained serious losses in having its
funds distracted. The Directors have per
fected arrangements by which the bank is
prepared to meet every dollar of its Obliga-
lions Its business affairs will be put N
process of liquidation without making an
assignment. DepoSitorS can call at the
bank al their pleasure and receive their de-
pOSitS." The bank officials, with the aid of
an expert from Kansas City. have examined
the books and found that there have
been systematic detalcatiOns for the
last five or six years 10 the amount
of about S2S,000 over and above the SI0.-
600 returned, or nearly the capital stock of
the bank, $780, 600. 1t is believed that
more will be discovered. False entries
We're made on the daily balance sheets,
sometimes to the amount of $1,000. How
it escaped the observation of the cashier so
long is a surprise to all, as is Kings re-
tention when his habits must have been
known to the officers. Yesterday there was
biz run on the bank by depositorS,
but it was paying promptly, and no loss is
feared. The deposits amounted to $780,
OGO Late Monday night King was ar
rested on a State warrant sworn out by
John J. Riser, one of the directors.

Disappointed.

DUBLIN, July 22.-The FreemGn's Jour-

over Lord Lieutenant Carnarvan's reply TO
the delegation of persons interested in the
Minister bank, who called on him yester-
day to solicit his aid in securing Govern
ment help for the bank. Earl CarBarvon,
while assuring the deputation of his sym
patty and desire to help the bank, stated
tfht it was outside the power OF the Gov
eminent to give direct aid to the institution,
except to avoid the public calamity of a
panic, of which there was practically no
danger. The Journal declares that failure
to restore the bank will plunge thousands
of people in ireland into despair and be
national calamity.

HOW THIEVES ARE CAUGHT.

The Methods I'm Vogue by Detectives to
Secure A-rests-Thieves' Slang.
"When a detective makes an arrest
on suspicion he generally relies on the
prisoner to eliminate himself" said a
Central Station detective. As soon as
such a prisoner is locked up fly officer
is sent to talk with him, and, although
you may not know it, it is fact that a
man behind the bars is more cOnfiden-
tial and cOnfiding TO an officer than TO
any one else. OF course. l make an
exception to this rule in the case of old
offenders. Many of the latter, how
ever. unconsciously betray themselves
during these interviews. [ can illus
trate that best by citing a case that
occurred here several weeks ago, when
three men, named Davis, Jones and
Henderson, were arrested on suspicion
OF robbery. Henderson claimed to
come from Ohio, and protested
that he had never been East before.
When arrested a revolver was found
in his possession. An officer was sent
to interview him, and, after a time,
asked him: Did You attempt to use
your gun when they arrested YOU?
NO replied the thief; the fatty was
on top of me before could pull The
use of the word fatty betrayed him as
a New York crook, and he was after
terward identified as a criminal from
that city. .Flatty' signifies, among
New York thieves. a policeman. In
Philadelphia policemen are called
cops and in Baltimore guys The
detectives are known to thieves
throughout the country, by the uniform
appeliatiOn of fly cops in cOntradis-
tinction 10 flat cops or patrolmen.
Thieves slang varies as much through
out the United States as does the
English language in the different coun-
ties of England, and in this way We are
often able to locate the home and par
tcular lay of visiting criminal. >
How about detectives slang?" was
asked.
20, that varies almost as much as
the slang employed by the thieves, and,
as a matter of fact, is influenced greatly
by them. If several smart thieves are
operating in town we would speak of
them as a mob of good people If
they are burglars in their profession we
would refer to them as a gang Of
chumps.' A good mob of guns indi-

One expert pickpocket is known as a

We mean fearless burglars. Good day
men are clever thieves, who lack,
however, the nerve to become burglars,

ried out TO the extent of columns, but
have told you enough to illustrate my
meaning. Colloquial thieves slang
undoubtedly gives us many important
