ingS he lost Self-cOntrOl and sent several
long cablegrams to President Paul, with
out using his customary cipher, denounc-
ing him for his cowardice and demanding
that the men who had insulted him should
be arrested and shot. The steamer which
arrived from Europe on May Il brought
letters from GuZman to the president of
such character as to bring matters to a
crisis. Just what their contents were no
one seems to know, although there are
many reports in circulation.
On the following day, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of every one, DR..
Paul sent to congress his resignation of
the officelof the president. He gave no
reasons, and it was unnecessary. Every
body knew that he had received letters
from Paris, and had been directed to do
what he had done. AS soon as the fact was
known the people closed their business
houses and surrounded the capitol. With
in an hour after the resignation was re-
ceived, 1000 men We're shouting themselves
hoarse with denunciation of Guzmau and
praise of Paul. They demanded that the
resignation should be accepted, but the
confusion was so great that the congress
could take no action, and in fact, Its ses-
sion had to be abandoned, because of the
invasion of the excited populace into the
legislative chambers. When congress ad-
iourned the crowd went 10 the Casa ANA
rilIa." or yellow house, where the presi-
dent resides, and remained about IL all
day. calling for him and demanding that
he should withdraw his resignation. That
night the entire population of Caracas
gathered, with common impulse, in the
Plaza Washington, where stands statue
of him who was first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts OF his countrymen.
They were addressed by several local ora
tors who expressed the unanimous sentl-
ment of the community that the admins
tration Of President Paul had been wise, pa
triotic and that he could continue in office
regardless of the demands or desires OF
Guzman. The latter was denounced IN the
most savage terms, and IL was the first
time since 1876 that any one dared utter a
word ST public meeting ia criticism OF the
dictator. 4 procession was formed and
marched to the residence OF the president,
who stood upon his balcony ana
witnessed an ovation. he was ad-
dressed by the chairman OF the
Washington plaza meeting and informed
OF the sentiments there expressed. In re-
ply Paul spoke very briefly, but TO the

The blase young man never laughed
heartily, even as child. Nature disap-
pointed him. The little lambkins were un-
tidy and the grass took the polish on his
shoes. He criticised nearly all forms Of
vegetation. Throwing a dressing-gown
hastily over his shoulders while waiting for
his clothes to be aired and put on him, he
looked at the doctor on the first evening Of
his appearance with keen, searching
glance, as much as to say: "You have
ushered me into world which can al

He has no enthusiasm. He does not love

things about every body, but heightens the

Of shOplifters, professional and otherwise.
The Sixth avenue shops are more troubled
with thieves than those in other parts of
town. At one store the superintendent as
sured me that shoplifters were never a.
lowed to enter, the detectives employed by
them being very successful in ''spotting''
shoplifters at the first glance. At an
other store near by they do not employ q
regular detective, but pay some Of their ex-
perienced statesmen . liberal salary for
watching the people that como and go, and
to keep constant watch on suspicious char.
acters.
One of the floor walkers said: ''If we have
reason to suspect any person who comes in
here we follow her up closely, and do not
for one instant lose sight Of her. The most
skillful shoplifters invariably travel in
pairs, or, in detective parlance, one stalls
for the other. That ls, one Of the thieves
will undertake to engage the attention of
the clerk, while the other deftly abstracts Q
piece Of silk, Q package Of gloves, or card
OF lace from the counter. 1t is frequently
the case that the confederates will not enter
store together or exchange any percepti-
bic signs Of recognition while plying their
vocation. A well-dressed wdman, Of re-
spectacle appearance, will step up to the
lace counter, for instance, and ask to be
shown some fne lace embroideries. The
clerk, mentally poting her well-to-do ap-
pearance, thinks he sees achance Of making
q good sale and il, consequently, very
obliging. He dnds his customer hard to
suit and places box upon box Of choice goods
before her. Soon . second woman comes

Before the burning of the capitol these
