Detective Heidelberger of Inspector
Byrnes' force, was saying tine other day
that if Mrs. Hicks-Lord had notified the
central office that she intended giving the
reception which has had SO wide an adver-
tisement recently because of the reported loss
of coats, wraps, etc, a couple of detectives
would have been detailed to go there in even
ing dress and there would have been no
trouble whatever. He says that the Wander
bits and other wealthy people who entertain
do not think of getting on without a detec-
tive any more than they think of getting on
without the services of Delmonco or Pinard.
A detective is on the ground before the affair
has really commenced, and remains there
after all the guests have departed He is
able to spot people who have no legitimate
right to be present, by reason of their uneasy
manner and their numerous and suspicious
questions.
Detective Heidelberg was at the reception
given by Cornelius Vanderbilt not long ago,
and took entire charge of the outer clothing
which the guests put off as they came INTO
the house. At the end of the evening Mr..
Vanderbilt came to him and asked him
whether or not everybody had gone, and
Heidelberg said that there was yet one gen
tleman remaining. He had hat, coat and
cane still uncalled for. Mr.. Vanderbilt
laughed and said that that was so, and told
him that the gentleman to whom these things
belonged would remain all night, and the de-
tective, proud of the even and correct way
In which the mass of wraps and overcoats
had come out, donned his own coat and went
home.-New York Mail and Express.

Near Ellis, Neb., July 10, was enacted
one Of the most revolving tragedies in
history. John ii. Peterborough, a we'll
TODD farmer living mile and a half
from Ellis, murdered his wife and four
children and then committed suicide.
lie crime was not discovered until a
sister of the murderer and suicide came
to the house on a visit. Her brother
lay ON the floor face downward, six
shooter by his side. Her sister in
law lay dead in bed. a
bullet hole in her head. In bed with
her was II 2-year-old babe, also shot
through the head. On lounge in the
room lay lad OF 10 years dead, shot
through the head. In the room above
was another bed occupied by two young
girls, one l3 and one Is. both dead with
bullet holes in their heads.
lie was man about 3s or 10 wears of
age, and his wife was year or two
younger. The murdered children were
as follows; Carrie, II years; Mabel, 10
years; Charles, 10 years Ralph, years.

v't's' lie was away from home at

There was evidently no motive for
the awful deed. The husband and
father had been i'll for some time and
was probably laboring under lit of
insanity at the time.

A Tooth Worth q Million,

A charming road of seventy four miles
carries the traveller to Handy, the ancient
Singalese capital of the country This is
picturesque place, with some beautiful
views, residence of the governor and a
Buddhist temple, where, in wonderfully
rich shrine, one of Gautama's teeth is
kept. This is one of the treasures of the
Light of Asia, for which, it is said, the
king of Siam offered | 900, 900 rupees not
long since, but iii vain. The priests hav.
ing it in their care are said to be among
the most intelligent and learned of the
eastern craft, and possess much Budd
hlstic lore of great antiquity and value
One of the attendants informed me with
much pride that Edwin Arnold worshiped
at the shrine when last in Ceylon. can
not say that Edwin is a Buddhist, but his
writings show him quite as deeply i'm
bued with reverence for Gautama as for
him we of the west claim to be the Lord
One cannot talk with the intelligent peo
pie at this temple without being impressed
with the fact that their creed rests with
them upon enlightened faith, and not
upon blind superstition. The priests, too,

Crusade Against the NIustache.

A lively crusade against the mustache as
an ornament for the clergyman is now in
progress in England. Many young ministers
in that country have revolted against the
old fashioned theory that man must
carry smooth face into the pulpit. The
culture of the mustache has become, in fact
dangerously popular among the more pro.
gressive clergy man of Great Britain. and
the conservative members of the Established
church are shocked and dsmayed thereat.
10 those who are not acquainted with the
Importance attached in England to the
exterior details pertaining to clergyman of
the recognized church, it might seem that a
man with a mustache would make as good n
minister as one who shaved his upper lin
but the fact is that a really impressive mus
tsche worn by young preacher has been
known to make a good deal of trouble
among the fair madens of his congregation
and there are many wise men in ENGLAND
who believe that a homely minister is, in the
long run, more desirable and useful than one
whose face is eminently ornamental-New
