A "SPOTTER" SPOTTED.
How Street Car and Motor Lines
Are Watched.

The bell-punches worn by motor line
conductors and the registers on street
cars do not keep an: accurate check on
conductors, it appears, and it has been
necessary to employ what are COM
monty called 'spotters" to detect the
festive cons who are playing the little
game of solitaire known as knocking
down." Some times it is woman who
rides the full length of the line and
watches the movements of the con-
ductor from behind veil. 1t may
be an old man who appears to be asleep,
or one who does not seem to be ava re
of the fact that he is alive,
but the number of fares received
and rung up are carefully
noted, and any suspicious act is record
ed. The first indication the conductor
may have that he is not giving satisfac-
ton is when he receives notice that his
services are no longer required. No ex-
planation is given, and all he knows
is that he is discharged.
AS might be expected, the love of
conductor for ''Spotter" is like unto
that of mad bull for a red rag, and let
the identity of the spy once become
pen to him or her. Not because the con-
ductor is dishonest and fears detection,
but because the knowledge that he is
being watched naturally arouses his
indignation. 1t is human nature to
dispise the man who hires himself out
as a spy upon the movements of others.
Besides, the conductor realizes that he
is utterly at the power of the spotter.
who, merely to show that his services
are valuable, may report dishonesty
where it does not exist. Once let
''spotter" become known and his day of
usefulness in that line is over, for the
word is quickly passed and he be-
comes the watched as well as the
watcher. A funny incident of this
nature occurred on the motor line a
days ago. The spotter was young
man who was very deaf. His infirmity
had made his perception of the move
ments of others so keen that he could
tell from the motion of the lips what
was said. although he could not hear a
word. In some way the fact that he
was spotter leaked out, and one after
noon when he boarded the train card,
on which was inscribed in large letters
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-29
SPOTTER |

was dextrously pinned to his back. The
passengers, of course. quickly under
stood his vocation, and their sympathy
was all with the conductors. Without
knowing he was advertising his busi-
ness, the spotter rode the whole length
of the line and unconsciously gave him
self away to several hundred people.
When the train neared Calhoun some
thing happened to him. 1t is believed
that he fell off the train; at any rate
his appearance when he walked back
to town would indicate as much, and he
has ceased to be street car detective.

the date OF the death of DR.. Richard Pom
nell in 1858, and the discontinuance of the
payments by his estate up T. the date
of the young mans majority III 1913.
The commencement Of "A suit disClos-
ing facts of this nature and com
promising two conspicuous and weaithy
families, gave the case wide publicity. The
admlring parishioEerS and friends OF the
Rev. Mr.. Pennell at first looked upon the
charge as incredible and as n vile attempt
to blackmali him. lie himself met the
scandal with proud reserve But as the
strong links of the chain of evidshce against

public notice, the rccrcant husband and
heartless parent soon found himself herett

of the rectorate of st Marks church was

mentS of Dakota He died suddenly on May
20, 1882, at the age Of 81 years, and while
officiating as the rector of st. Johns Epis-
copal church, at DeadwOod.
The Rev. Mr.. Pencil never recognized
the protege of the Renzes as his son, and
after his departure from Newark the suit
against him for arrears of allowance for
maintenance, and incidentally for determ-
ming the identity of the young man, was
permitted to lapse. About two years ago
the question of young Crosby-Pennelrs
legitimacy and birth rights was again raised
in the Supreme Court of Oswego county in
the form of an action brought by him to re-
cover of John and Albert Schroeppel, exec
utors of the estate of Mary Hannah Schreop-
pei, decea> ed, his rightful share of the for
tune left by her. The case came to trial
on the lines of controversy indicated before
Judge Churchill and a jury, ut the January
term of the court. The plaintiff
hbOred under serious disadvantages,
his counsel alleged, on account of the
death of two important witnesses. The de
Tense admitted the lawful marriage, as
claimed, of George c. Pennell and Mary
Hannah Schroeppel and that male child
was born in wedlock at the date and under
the circumstances alleged. But they main
tanned that the child died soon after birth,
as represented by DR.. Richard Pennell to
the mother, and that the plaintiff was an
impostor. The trial was protracted, and it
excited great interest. The jury, after
twelve hours of deliberation failed to agree
upon verdict, and it was discharged.
Public feeling ran strongly in favor OF the
claimant, who is said to bear a remarkable
likeness to the Schroeppel family.

The guards came running up from the ends
OF the train, and the uniformed policemen
at the station called loudly on everybody to
"eud hand there like a hearty lad. ."
Everybody proceeded to do il bv means of
fiounderlng all over every one else. The
paSS>n gefs, observing the row, came
swarming out of the train to learn the par
ticulars OF the escape of Davltt and the
American General"
Meanwhile we sat calmly smoking within
our compartment and when we were event
ually discovered there, the feelings of the
British detectives were too vast for express
sion. They slowly loaded their traps into
the compartment again and slowly followed
them amid the jeers of the passengers and
the crowd. Even more. for as the train,

Three cheers for Michael Davitt, and

The cheers were given with force that
shook the windows as the train moved out
They were repeated time and again until
they were out of hearing.
AT every stop after this somebody was
sent to our compartment by the detectives,
If they did not visit it themselves, and the
fact that we had passed through such and
such stations was duly telegraphed to Dub
lin.
On one occasion the emissary was a ragged
little man who had been picked up at the
station. He opened the door softly and said
in a wheedling voice:

up.

"But | object We've paid our money,

The guard took off his hat to Mr.. Davitt,
and said softly; God speed you, sir" Then
he threw the ragged representative of the
Government out, and going to the door,
turned in, and said to me:

annoyance. The railroad is not response

At Woodlawn there were twelve muddy
and travel-stained policemen on the plat

their luggage, and hurriedly loaded it all up
again as we went on to Galway. Once here

A QUEER STORY.
Detective Jones Has a Singular Expe-
rience in Southwest Georgia.

rience in Southwest Georgia.
From the Macon (G0.) Telegraph.
Detective Bill Jones was at the play
Thursday night, and between tho acts told
how he had been amusing himself for few
days past. He had just arrived in the city
from working up cIse in one of the coun-
ties below Americus. A merchant with q
pretty fair busine lad no safe, and he was
in the habit Of hiding his money about in
spots for safe keeping. Not long ego he
awoke one morning TO find Si95 gone. He
informed his neighbors that be had been
robbed, and it was suggested that Detective
Jones be sent for. The suggestion was no
sooner made than adopted. Shortly after
sending for him a trampisn-looking man
turned up in the neighborhood, aud by all
but the merchant was eyed suspiciousfy.
The tranplsh-looking man was the
detective. He made a thorough investiga-
ton and quietly drew his conclusions
sECalling up the merchant he told him he
had not been robbed. The merchant was
astounded but the detective was firm.
Then the merchant seid possibly he might
have hidden the money In his sleep, and
the detective agreed with bin. After con
siderable talk between the two y was found
that the merchant. having a number OF
hiding places, had In his sleep tnken the
money from one Of the hiding places in the
store aud carried IL 10 an OLD ard discarded
hiding place Ia the barn. The money hay
ing been recovered the merchant gave the

How Each Nationality Hides its Money
Eronl the ComnlercinL AdrertlSer

HOW EdCn NdblOlldllGN LllQtS iJS IhOIlOy
From the Commercial ADVERTISER.
The peculiarities of the people of different
nationalities in their way of carrying money
formed topic of conversation at Castle
Garden the other day
Most of the Eng fish immigrants" said
one of the money changers, carry their
coin in a small case in which their sover-
eli zns or shillings fit snugly, and have the
case attached to chain which they keep in
pocket as they would a watch. An Irish
man always has his little canvas bag in
which he keeps gold, silver. and notes all
together. But great many of the irish
girls have their soveregns rolled up and
sewed on the inside Of their dress, very
frequently, too, inside Of their corsets, and
often have to borrow penknife to cut them
out when they come TO get them changed.
II have seen some old Germans who
would pull off from around their body belt
that / am sure must Rave COST 40 or so
ma ks, and fish from it 3 or marks in sill
yer to have changed. The French mostly
carry a small brass tube in which they can
place 40 or so 20-franc pieces, and remove
them very handily one at time, and only
one at time. There are very few Italians
who don't own large tin tube, sometimes
O foot long, which they have hung around
their neck by a small chain or cord, and in
which they keep their paper money or sill
YER coins. Swedes and Norwegians are
sure to have an immense pocketbook that
has generally been used by their fathers and
grandfathers before them and which will
have enough leather In it to make a pair
of boots. The Slavonans or Hungarians
generally do not carry pocketbooks, but
they lind more ways Of concealing what
money they may have than any class of
people know Of. Their long boots seem to
be the favorite place, and in the legs Of
them they also carry the knife and fork and
spoon with whicn they have eaten on the
way across. But / have seen them take
money from between the lining and out
side Of their coats, which they would get at
Ivy cutting into a button hole. Some Of
them use their caps and very many use
ther prayer books, placing the paper money
on the inside of the cover and FASTING the
fiyleaf of the book over it. But | think
more of thBt nationality stow away their
change inside their stockings than any
other place, and don't take stockings off
from the time it is put there until they
want TO change ID.
