Some OF the clever captures OF N. sou.
dais, of the Paris Police.
The French detective force has been
greatly decried and deprecated by the
public of recent years, and it has been
commonly remarked that its members
had lost that professional astuteness
and ability which distinguished NJ.
Claude and other famous limiers, who
have either published their own ex-
periences, like that worthy, or who
have been described under assumed
names by novelists of the ''Gaborian
school," The promptness with which
Allmayer, the notorious swindler, was
recently arrested at Havre shows, how
ever, that there is still some fine ''blood-
hounds" in the detective force. NJ.
Soudais, who was the prime mover in
The arrest of Allmayer, is one of these.
He is a man between thirty-fve
and forty years old, with a short,
rugged beard, and looks like

nothing to do for the remainder of his
life but to discuss politics at second
hand and to play dominoes in cafes.
NJ Soudais flies at all kinds of game,
but his favorite birds are defaulting
financiers and big swindlers. Never
theless, when there is no important
culprit to be followed from the boule-
Yards to the banks of the Bosporus, NJ.
Soudais does not disdain to track low
murderers and burglars to their lairs
in the Palace Maubert or the dingy en-
virons of Paris. One of his first cap
lures was that of Savreux, railway
cashier, who stole $4,000, and whom
Ire arrested in Vienna. Later on he
hunted out Maisonneuve, who muir

A Gotham Fairy Tale.

"You see" said a Broadway car con-
ductor, as he registered two fares on
the indicator in response to three just
received, lit isn't as easy for US con-
ductors to cheat the company as the
public seem to think. We are re-
CURED" he continued, las he collected
five fares and rang up three in buoy
ant manner, ito obtain five cents from
every passenger, and then to register
each fare on the indicator. Of course"
he observed, meanwhile ringing up
one in exchange for two fares taken in,
leach passenger sees me ring the indi-
Gator for his or her fare. and it is i'm
possible not to do so without being
found out. why" he added, jerking
the rope so gently that the indicator
didn't ring for the two fares he had
then pocketed, IF l did not register
every fare receive / should deem it
proper for any one to have me arrested
for dishonesty." So had him arrested.

GOTHAM'S TALL SPIRES.
st. Patrick's Cathedral as 1t Appears
Above the Roof.


The twin spires of st. Patrick's Ca
thedral are the tallest church spires in
America and rank among the tallest in
the world. They measured in the archi-
tect's plans 32S feet, but there has
been a certain amount OF gain over this
in construction which makes them
about $50 feet from the curb. The
only tower over a building in this
country higher than this is, it is be-
lieved, the uncompleted one on the
public building in Philadelphia, which
will be $50 feet high when it is done.
There are higher spires over European
cathedrals, among them those at vi
emma, Cologne, Charters, Antwerp and
Salisbury Trinity spire in this city
is 2S4 feet high. st. Patrick's spires.
with the whole cathedral, were planned
by and built under the supervision of
James Renwick, of this city. The ca
thedral was first projected by Arch
bishop Hughes about 1850. In 1858
Mr. Renwick drew the first plans.
These were reduced in size and other
wise changed by Archbishop Hughes,
and in 1857 Mr.. Renwick drew the
final plans.
The cornerstone was laid on August
Is, 1S5S-thirty years. one month and
nineteen days before the topmost stone
was set in the last of the spires. The
cathedral was dedicated nearly ten
years ago, but the spires were then
ONLY to a level of the roof of the build
ing. They were left in that condition
until the fall of 1885, when work was
resumed. 1t has been continued ever
since, except when the weather pre-
vented. George Mann & Co., of Bal
timore, did the work under contract.
1t has been done without single ac-
cident to any person employed upon
the spires. The work at first pro-
ceeded rapidly, but as the distance
from the ground became greater and
the space in which to work decreased,
fewer and fewer men were employed
and shorter progress made. For
the last few weeks only five or
six men could be employed, and
they had to be expert steepletacks.
The spires are of white marble
throughout, except that a copper rod
through the center holds the extreme
upper pieces composing the final in
place. The spires are octagonal in
form. mounted on octagonal lantern
towers that rise from the level of the
roof. Their design is very elaborate,
and it has been carried out with ex-
quisite workmanship that is almost
wasted at the great heights at which
it is placed.-N. Y. San.

THE GREEN SPORTSMAN.
What the Old Hunter Thinks of the Nov
ice and His Ways.

The greenhorn is to be found in the
woods as well as anywhere else in the
the world. His manners, his dress,
his very carriage. all betray him. His
gun is new one; his shooting jacket
and boots smell of the shop. He has
an exaggerated idea of every thing
about the woods. To his verdant i'm
agination trout are as plenty in the
lakes and streams as herring in the
mighty ocean. There is at least one
wildcat in every tree and deer feeding
in every meadow. To his mind the
deep forest is clothed in a halo OF
mystery, of which he is to be the ex-
plorer; and. like Livingstone and Stan
lev, he is to be the revealer of these
mighty secrets. The old woodsman
makes nothing of creaking trees, and
the weird sound produced by one
branch scraping against another would
hardly command a passing thought, but
have known a novice to sit half day
by the side of this phenomenon, wait
ing for wildcat to show himself from
the branches overhead. There is a
tinge of disappointment occasioned by
the knowledge of the fact which comes
later on, that of all solitary places
excepting perhaps the fabulous GREAT
American Desert = the unbroksh
wilderness has the fewest signs of ami
NAL Life of any place on the entire
continent. You may travel all day and
not see a partridge, deer, wildcat.
bear, fox. robin, crow or blueoird, and
hardly a squirrel. The deep wood on
a quiet day is the very personification
of stiffness. Game there Is. but it
gathers in certain localities, according
to the season. The newcomer has
eyes, but they see not; ears has he, but
they hear not; and you can trust him
to make noise enough to keep the game
Just out of sight.-Forsst and Stream.

the strong girl broke down crying.
Something did happen within the next
hour that let a sudden glow of cheering
light over the dark prospect.
Soon after supper, farmer Seaton lay
down on the calico lounge in the kitchen, TO
doze away in the evening till bedtime. The
packman was shown to his room upstairs,
where, after naming his family saints, he
prepared to go to rest. He stretched his
tired back and arms, with audible yawns,
then took of his shoes and stockings, and
proceed to anoiut his inflamed and
blistered feet with Scorers Salve," a
a patent preparation, composed mainly of
essential oils, whose pungent odor soon
found its way to every corner of the house.
Old Seaton drew his breath with deep
snores, and the dream-elves were busy in his
brain. Suddenly he awoke, and sat bolt
upright. He snuffed loudly twice or thrice,
then, fixing his wife with the glittering eye,
he shouted in a whisper.
