CLEVER RUsE OF THIEVES.

They Escape Recognition by Officers by
Blowing Their Noses.
81 thought that fellow was thief" said
Assistant Superintendent of Police Roger
O'Mara last night while walking along
Smithfeld street. He stopped suddenly
and turned around to observe a man who
was walking across the street and hurriedly
threw handkerchief to his face. "It's an
old trick" said the sharp-eyed official, land
is often worked with success by thieves to
escape Identification. While walking along
the street thief may see an officer who
knows him too late to get out of the way
and to escape recognition, he puts up his
handkerchief to blow his nose and manages
to cover most of his face SO the officer cannot
see his mug
People often ask me how 1 spot crooks
when they strike town, and never know
how to answer them. There is something
about a professional thief that he cannot
throw off, and an experienced officer can
notice it in a minute. There is something
about crooks walk, short turn and a
general hunted, nervous look in their faces
that betray them. Instinct, suppose, has
a great deal to do with spotting a new crook,
but can never tell what prompts me to Law
hands on one. 1t is comforting to know
that there are no crooks in the city now. or
if there are any they manage to keep out of
the way and are not doing anything at their
trade"

Lewis Emery, Jr., sat in his room at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel, Yesterday, s very
busy man, answering kilograms, preparing
new data, and receiving old friends and In
dependent Republicans who wished him
and his cause success. His side partner,
Chairman Mapes, occupied an adjacent
room, trying to sleep and get relief from a
severe headache.
How are you, Lew?" said David Ray,
who Just entered. 81 see you are a busy
man, but will be at the meeting tonight

but have nothing at stake in this cam

how l came to get in it. unless it was that

ever since in no uncertain words. l think
from present indications that Delamater is
licked, but the Republican managers may
be able to turn the tide. 1 understand they
expect great deal from the national issue

time to election day. 1t may succeed. l
don't know, but they are in tight quarters
now; there is no mistake about that
Mr.. Emery held in his hand little paper
entitled. "Emery's Boomerang" issued
from the Republican State Committee s
press. A number of passages were marked,
and he SAID: "I intend to confine myself
this evening to answering this paper. /
will introduce some new data and show how
Andrews first secured his election. 1 want
to speak first and get through early"
Mr.. Emery is looking very well. His
sparse locks were carefully combed to cover
up the little bald places that are beginning
to appear on his head. His voice was sharp
and cheerful and he is full of hope.

PUMPING ON SUNDAY

And the Complications 1t Has Led 10 anu
Others to Ensue-Suits and Counter
Suits - Damages Resulting From
Forced Shutdown.
1t is believed that there are people In
Robinson township who, in the Language OF
the late Henry Ward Beecher, would cut
kittens tail off if they detected it playing
with it on Sunday, and it seems that some
of the over-plumb in this respect have gotten
themselves into trouble in consequence OF
being unco' good.
At or near Forest Grove is the j. M.
Graham farm. There is q we'll on it which
produces 300 barrels of oil week. VI late
the operators have been troubled by salt
water and it required the daily operation or
the pump to prevent it from getting the
better of the oil flow. The pumper was In
formed by the company to operate the
pump on Sunday. He did so, and thereby
aroused opposition on the part OF some Sap-
batarians.
Notwithstanding the company felt that
the we'll should be pumped continuously,
instructions were given the pumper, Charles
Smoyer, to cease from o'clock in the morn
ing on Sunday. until dark, so as not to rasp
the feelings of the objectors. The offered
one, named Moore, made an information be-
fore Squire Edmondson charging Slnoyer
with prosecuting worldly employment on
the Lords Day. He was arrested, and, as
alleged, no levy was made on his effects to
secure the S25 fine and costs and neglecting
to pay, he was sent to jail in default
Yesterday w. F. McCook, Esq, drew the
attention of Judge Magee to the case. and
after hearing, he ordered Smoyer's dis
charge. 1t is said this will not be the
end of the matter. 1t is alleged that the
detention caused by objection OF the strict
Sabbatarians has not only injured the pump,
ing apparatus, the corrosion OF which was
prevented by the fabrication of the oil
while passing through the valves, but the
enforced suspension has also reduced the
output one half, or $50 barrels week, thus
laying the foundation for two suits, one fol
damages for false Imprisonment, and the
other for damages for loss sustained BY the
suspension of operations held by the ag.
grieved parties to be as much work Of
necessity as the drawing of an OK or an ass
out of pit on the Sabbath day.

Styles Change on Hotel Registers as Well as

"Did you ever know that the STYLES

Edward Lands, the well-known Seventh

do not know where it started, or
if any reform association urged the change,
but it seems to be the proper thing. The
people that register Mr. and Mrs, notice,
belong to the best classes and it must be the
proper thing. You can always tell newly
married couple as far as you can see them.
Very often a man will come in accompanied
by his bride and in a nervous manner will
put down his name. When we politely ask
him if he hasn't forgotten his wife, he
blushes all over and makes some apology
for the omission. OF course they want the
best in the house, and if we had any rooms
at S100 a day some of them would want
them. On the next trip they will be unac-
companied by their wives, and then they
will kick all day for 81 80 room with a
bath, fire and everything else"

And did the other fellow comply with
your request?"
''Oh, yes, and he would come out the next
day with a slashing rip-up of somebody in
whom / was interested. Under its benign
influence my mind would recover, and I
would come back with sledgehammer blows.
The battle would wax fierce for several davs.

FAILING MINING CAMPS.
How the City of Gunnison Has Declined Il
a Simple Village.

How the City of Gunnison Has Declined to
a Simple Village.
The rapid rise and sudden fall of mining
camps in the West is painful subject to
those who have been bitten, and especially
to the Colorado newspapers, who are ever
ready to defend the wonderful mineral
resources of the State against any other In
the Union. A Pittsburger who travelled
considerably in Colorado this summer made
a few observations Yesterday that may be
pertinent. Among other things, he said:
cit is surprising how many mining towns
in the West have declined since their lncep-
ton. The amount of money that has been
lost in real estate alone is enormous. Under
the excitement of q mineral find men would
lose their heads, and build fine towns with
the hope that some day the projected city
would become one of the greatest in the
Union. OF all the mining camps to-day in
Colorado there are really only two, Lead
vile and Aspen, where the yield OF ore is
sufficient to keep the population.
81 have in mind now Gunnison, which
must pathetically describe as the deserted
village Eight years ago it had mighty
boom, and its people predicted that 1t would
soon leave Denver in the rear. That time
has never come The population has de-
creased from 5000 to 800, and there are
not less than 500 vacant houses in
the town. The ore deposits failed,
and the teeming little city went
down with it. The fine hotel which
was built by St. Louis capitalists at heavy
expense is row used as an eating station by
the Denver and Rio Grange road. A side
track from the main line has been built to
its door. and here the hungry passenger is
regaled in dining room that reminds him
of big hall. The many tables are still
there, but the proprietors have learned long
ago to set only few. Off on the mountain
sides can be seen the holes in the ground
and the rotting incline planes. These were
once Gunnison's glory, but the luster has
danarted -
