A Novel Method OF Robbery.


Paris Correspondence Philadelphia Telegraph
The police have Just .'culled." to use the ex-
pressive French idiom. two long sought-for
thieves, who for some time past have been the
terror OF the workingmen OF the city. The
method they employed to avoid detection was
as novel as it was ingenious. Dressed in cor
rect evening costume and wearing handsome
oyercoats and high hats, they would prowl
about the quarters where, OF a Saturday even
ing. they were certain to meet workingmen
going home with their pay. To attack one Of
these poor fellows and to strip him of his
earnings was the work of q moment Then,
when the cries of the victim brought down
upon them the guardians of the peace. the
elegant robbers would become most virtuously
indignant at being accused OF theft, would
declare that the complainant was a drunken
FOOL and would insist on accompanying
the officer to the nearest police station.
Inere. throwing back their overcoats negli-
gently to display their dress coats. white
cravats, and jeweled studs, they would pro-
duce each card bearing the name of some
well-known parsonage, and would relate
how, returning home from a dinner party,
they had peen met and insulted by drunken
rough. who had finally accused them of having
robbed him. The commissaire in charge would
forthwith bow them out with many apologies,
and their unfortunate victim would be dis
missed With severe reprimand and an injunc-
ton never to be caught doing such a thing
again. Unfortunately for the two dexterous
malefactors they tried their little game once
too often. They were espied by policeman
on guard when they were in the act of rifing
the pockets of a luckless bricklayer. and were
forthwith arrested. But they positively re-
fused to make their real names and addresses
known. One of them has since been recog-
niZed as the son of an honorable and wealthy
merchant of Rouen. 1t was he who. by his
social relations in Paris. contrived to procure
the visiting cards that played so important
part in protecting the precious psir from arrest.
His confederate was young but well-known
professional thief

HONOR AT STAKE;
Or, The Queens Messenger.

From the Toledo Blade
VOL. L.
Colonel Fitzclarence Mowbray lounged in a
velvet chair in the innermost sanctum of the
embassy at Paris. A perfumed cigarette,
shielded from his aristocratic lips by jeweled
holder, reposed between his pearly teeth; gob-
let Of the rarest Venetian glass. filed with the
choicest vintage of Tokay. stood at his elbow,
and he negligently toyed with a thousand
pound note, holding it seasingly toward ia
vorite spaniel, who. swapping at it viciously.
had already swallowed the signature of the
governor of the Bank of England
''Cospetto.' said Mowbray, impatiently. Il
must be In Mexico within the week. This comes
OF being queens messenger: but to do it
how! My honor is at stake!"
VOL. II.
'My honor is at stake" cried Col. Mowbray,
as he sat upon the safety-valve Of the steam
ship Montezuma, careering through the surg
ing ocean at speed never before attained by
any vessel. 1t was in vain the captain besought
with tears in his eyes, that he would content
himself with q less rapid journey; in vain the
passengers. kneeling in semiciTcle. implored
him to think of the unpleasantness of being
blown up
My honor Is at stalker he answered, as be
lit his cigarette.
Through the dark night plunged and tore the
express at lightning speed, the whistle sound
ing shriil warnings as the train sped upon its
way. Mowbray had bribed the driver with
Gl00,000 to run straight through to Mexico
without stopping The passengers we're mostly
soldiers. and as they realized that they were
being whirled past the station at which they
had intended to alight, they drew their re-
volvers. and. leaning from the windows took
snap shots at the engine driver and stoker.
Mowbray saw them fall and. with a mut.ered
OATH sprang from the carriage onto the foot
board.
1t was but the work of a moment to run its
length, and then with sudden spring-a
spring which had made him famous in the old
days at Harrow. Elton and Rugby-he bounded
upon the tender and thence to the engine.
What q race it was! The train seemed to
spring from the metals and rush through air.
He had yet two hours in which to accomplish
his task
my honor is at stake,' he muttered be-
tween his teeth as he thrust the oily garments
of the dead driver and defunct stoker into the
glowing furnace.
As the clock struck the hour Col Mowbray.
in full uniform. a packet of papers in one
hand, cigarette in the other, entered the mas

witched beauty from Kamschatka to Pitcairn's
Island. ''Caramba! My honor is saved-but it

Five Cent kilograms.

From the New York Graphic,
In this ingenious age new inventions, es-
pecialiy those connected with the development
of electricity, and having for their object the
more rapid communication of speech and
thought, succeed each other SO quickly that
one almost loses breath in attempting to keep
up with them. As fitting pendant to the Sc
ries of wonderful Edison discoveries an English
journalist, Edwin Guest, has Just perfected a
method of using. for stenographic purposes
alphabetic and other symbols, common to all
printed books, at rate of speed that greatly
surpasses the most rapid oratory. For this
Mr.. Guest uses the ordinary American
typewriter. and the characters when
written, instead of being stenographic
conundrums, legible only to the one who
wrote them. are the Roman letters and Ara
bic numerals that may be at once read with
out code book or dictionary. This as will at
once be seen, opens up new fields for enter
prise in telegraphy as well as stenography If
typo-shorthand, as the new system is called.
can be, as is claimed, acquired within a week
there is no reason why it should not be gener-
ally used in sending kilograms The Morse
code already contains all the symbols used and
by their combination under the new system the
speed of telegraph operators could be increased
from 20 to 40 words a minute-the present rate
of specific from go to 100 words This in
crease of velocity without a corresponding in
crease of cost for new wire or plan. would nat
urally enable companies to do three times their
present amount of business and would make
scent kilograms for short distances and heavy
reduction on all others possible in the near
future.
