business as business. When watches ara
stolen from the person, which is the prin-
cipal kind of thieving that goes on regu-
larly in this city, the pickpocket does not
look for a professional fence. he sells it
to some berkeeper or some man in a small
business, who takes it as solitary bargain.
Nothing but accident would be likely to
bring such transaction as that to light,
and even if We should learn ahout it it
would be almost impossible to prove guilty
knowledge on the part of the receiver"
How about the petty thieves, such as
the youngsters who prowl along the river

We'll, there isn't very much of that 60
ing on. OF course there is some II cannot
be stopped entirely. They go to any junk
man and sell what they get for the merest
triie Then after the stuff gets into the
junk it can hardly ever be traced That's
the end of it."
In former days a burglars lot was a
much happier one than it is at present, for
the reason that the pawnbroker's estab
lishnent was then on easy fence. Now
adays the endorsements of the law is so
strict that few pavnbrokers viii touch an
article which they suspect has been stolen,
and the average pawnbroker becomes by
experience very shrewd in Judging of the
character of his customers. The thieves
therefore commonly steer clear of the
pswnhroksrs> There are however, two well
knoyn jewelry establishments on Broad
way where real pawnbrokerage IS carried
on, but in a round aboubevasion Of the law,
and at both Of these places it Is vehementIy
suspected that stolen diamonds are often
bought. A customer who really wishes to
borrow money on diamond can sell n at
either place with a stipulation that he may
buy it back at steep advance on the price
within limited time. With the opportu-
mites afforded by such business it is not
hard for thief TO get rid of diamond II

Japanese as Cinnamon.

Judging from the press and the public
utterances of prominent men it is not
known that the Chinese and Japanese be-
long to the same race, speak similar Ian
guages and use the same characters in
reading and writing. The result of the
error is that hundreds of Chinese are com
ing to the United States under the guise of
Japanese, and are welcomed. when if their
nationality were known they would be
shut out from ''the land of the free and the
home of the brave"

TO CROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Combination Bridge and Tunnel Schem
Which May Succeed.

Which May Succeed.
A most uTaque idea is the one that has
emanated from the busy brain of NJ. P.
-Varilla, and which seems likely to
solve the problem OF rapid transit across
the English channel. To devise a method
to escape the turbulent passage by boat of
that tempest swept patch Of water, and
bring the tight little island into closer
communion from the standpoins Of hours
and minutes with the continent, has long
been the dream and ambition OF CONNER
clal England. And either the method
OF bridge OF tunnel would long ago have
been adopted but for the fear that the COW
eted road to France would. in the event of
war with that country, prove the road to
England's ruin by aTording the enemy a
means Of speedily implanting an army on
her shores
But the ingenious Frenchman's scheme
dissipates all that, and here is how he pro-
poses to do it, by what he calls a mixed
solution,' - bridge tunneP' method. He
would build a great bridge out from the
shore on either side into the sea for as long
a distance as was advisable or necessary,
each bridge totally independent of the
other. Then at the sea end of each bridge
he would construct shafts, either in
clined or vertical, which would contain
elevators sufficiently large to lower or
raise at one time as many trains Of cars as
absolute safety might dictate. These shafts
would be sunk to a sufficient depth below
the bed of the river to allow tunnel to be
constructed connecting the two shafts and
thus the bridges You would leave Dover
in a comfortable railway carriage, the
train would speed across the English end
of the bridge to the elevator, down you
would go to the bottom of the sea and into
the tunnel, run across that distance, come
up by the elevator son the French bridge
and speed on to Calais, which you would
reach in an hour from starting.

Greeks in New York.

The Greek race is sending quite con-
tingent across the ocean to the New World
One class consists of those who come from
the little kingdom and from Smyrna and
the other large Turkish cities They are
Intelligent and educated, and usually go
into mercantile life as soon as they arrive
in New York. The second class comes
from the villages and fields of Turkey in
Europe and Turkey in Asia, and ere iIlit-
crate and superstitious, They follow in
the footsteps of the Sicilians and become
bootblacks, peanut roasters, candy peddlers
and the like.

The High Bred English Woman.

The high bred English woman is among
the finest products of civilization Her
voice is music, eXquisitely modulated, with
every syllable clear and distinct; to hear it
makes credible the story of the orator who
could pronounce the word mesopot2mia in
a manner to move an audience to tears
Her carriage is the. result of as careful
training as that of race horse, and her
manners in her own circle are simply per-
feet. She is always well educated, speaks
French and German fluently, plays and
sings-''all English pipe little to quote
an Englishman, ''and join in choruses
whether they have any voice or not"

low that would buy almost anything he
could get hold of, but the law specifies
that the receiver must buy stolen goods
with guilty knowledge, and there was
never any proof Of his buying anything
that he knew TO be stolen.
No, there haven't been any very con
spicuous instances since Mother Mandel-
baum's day" he continued I'VE have
convicted two or three within the past year
and half, though That man Saich was
the most troublesome. We had several
cases against him"
Wasn't he very incsutious in talking
with the thieves he bought from?"
''Not remarkably so. You see, when q
man has bought two Or three times from
some particular thief it is natural for him
to talk freely to him. Very likely he viii
ask the fellow to send others to him. He
doesn't run SO much risk in doing it either
as might seem. for, as just said, the thief's
testimony is easily impeached. The great
est risk he has is in handling goods that
he cannot transform. If he buys a watch
or a piece of silver he can melt it down,
and We cannot possibly trace it.
There is one man who has given Us a
great deal of trouble. He is man called
-. He is over 70 years old and is very
cunning He will make the thieves store
the goods in some room, and will buy by
samples only When he has made his bar
gain he will go around and measure the
goods, pay for them and send them away
to St. Louis, for instance-to some auc-
tioneer to be sold in the regular way. He
was in business in this city two or three
times and failed every time, though don't
suppose he lost money by it, and so keeps
up a sort Of business connection or ac-
Quaintance that enables him to dispose of
the goods We have arrested him several
times, but we never could get him tried. "
'Why, couldn't ycu get prooff'
ooh, yes, proof enough"
'Why wasn't he tried, then?"
''Now see hereI Pm not going to cast any
reflections on anybody. 1 told you he was
over 20 years old. Well, the old fox, when
he is arrested, can work himself into ter
rible fit of sickness apparently. He has to
go to the hospital, and has to be carried
there. You'd think he was going to die at
once, but he gets well as soon as the legal
trouble blows over.
''Of course they are not all as talented as
he is in that direction, but they give us a
great deal of trouble, and the most we can
generally do is to watch them so closely
that they are afraid to buy. You might
almost say that we have broken up the

DULUTH REGETTA.
An Exciting Contest in the Race for Pro
fessional Doubles,

DULUTH, Mimi. July 21.-The first day
of the great Duluth Superior regetta has
proved a success and was witnessed by
thousands of people. Never were sky, air
and water more kindly disposed toward a
great aquatic event. NettletOn, of Mime
sofa, won the race for junior sculls in l0:49.
A close finish was seen in the junior four
cared race, Winnipegs winning only by q
nose from the Duluths, who were but a
short distance ahead of the MinnesOtas
The race for Junior doubles was taken by
the CutlinS. of Chicago, the MinnesotaS
being second. Time 1O:101E.
The next race was for professional double
crews for a stake of 81 ,00J. The contest
ants were Gaudaur and Mckay, Teemer
and Hosmer, Hanlan and Wise and Hamm
and TenEyck. When they got
started the crews dipped their oars
in the water as if they were
one man. In an instant the powerful
stroke of Gaudaur and Mckay told and
they forged ahead of Teemer and HOsmer,
now a quarter, and now half, and now
full length. From the start the struggle
made by Gaudaur and Mckay. A second
later Hosmer and Teemer followed, then
Hamm and Teneyck and finally Hanlan
and Wise. On the home stretch Hanlan's
boat got into Teemer's water. Half way
TO the finish the press boat was passed
when Gaudaur and Mckay led Hosmer and
Teemer by three lengths. The latter kept
three-fourths of a length ahead of Hamm
and Teneyck, who kept the same distance
ahead of the Toronto crew. Gaudaur's
crew shot across the line amid screeching
of whistles about four lengths ahead. The
effort of the last two crews TO pass
Hosmer were unavailing but were almost
crowned with success, for there was only a

THE FRENCHaAE's PLAN.

And suppose there should spring up a
war? Well, a couple of well directed heavy
shot would knock the elevators and the
connections into the channel and all fears
of an invasion by that route would vanish
into thin air. The scheme is perfectly
practicable and has excited favorable com

France and England Its naturalization
is among the possibilities of the near
future. 1t could be completed in six years,
