The Clever Trick OF . Professional Dia-
mead Thief
The police records Of the French cap
ital have just been enriched, says the
Chicago Evening Post, by another OF
those clever bits Of Partisan roguery
that make plain American bunco-steer-
ing appear in comparison as inartistic
as bod carrying or sand-bagging.. Paris
dailies published q few weeks ago this
announcement:
"A splendid wedding will take place
here toward the end of the month. M.
w. Thompson, a millionaire American
broker, will marry Miss Ellen Barber,
the only daughter Of the highly respect
ed Rev. J. M. Barber, Of New Zealand"
About ten days after this notice ap-
peared a man with white beard and in
clerical garments introduced himself at
the jewelry shop Of Nine. Provost as
Rev. DR.. Barber, and asked that an at
tendant be sent with a great variety of
,1wels to his house in Bassand street, in
order that Mr.. Thompson, his future
Son-in-law, might choose fitting wedding
gifts for the coming bride. The old man
designated some ten thousand dollars
worth Of Jewels as the most likely lot
for his future son-in-law's taste and left.
The next morning Nine. Provost herself
took the jewels designated and some
five thousand dollars worth more to the
house in Bassand street. She was led
into a splendid reception-room by q
maid-servant, who took her card to the
pastor She was received in q few
minutes by the old man in a saloon
crowded with evidences of the wealth of
the occupants. He said:
my daughter is too i'll to rise. Her
fiaDce is with her, and if you will step in
they will make sheir selection together"
The "pastor" opened the door to adj
NIT the caller to his daughters bedside,
but was stopped by a woman's voice:
1.-THE woman must come tomorrow.
am not able to see strangers to-day"
But, my dear child, you can just take
glance or two, So as to tell us what you
WISH" demonstrated the "pastor," and
then turning to Nine. Provost: "The
poor girl has terrible headache and OBJ
jects to seeing strangers. / will just
give her look at the things myself, and
then give the order"
He took the tray with fifteen thousand
dollars worth of jewels, gave Nine. Pre-
vost an album of views OF the Yosemite
for her entertainment and then went to
the woman in the next room. He re-
turned to chat with Nine. Provost, but
was called away by the announcement:
81 have made my choice" The ''pastor"
remained away five, ten, fifteen minutes.
Nine. Provost became nervous and
knocked at the bedroom door. No an
swer. She tried it. 1t was locked. She
hurried to the other doors. They, too,
were fast. She screamed and pounded
until the janitor came to her rescue.
The false pastor and daughter and maid
servant had gone and have not been
seen since. They had taken the rooms
the day before, and had not even paid
the rent.

A string of sausages floated idly
around in an eddy between two Pacific
coast steamship docks two hours
one day, says a San Francisco CORES
pendent of the New York World. They
popped up from somewhere, nobody
knew where. The City of Pueblo had
been thoroughly searched and nothing
contra band had been discovered. Gus
toms Inspector Critcher, standing guard
Ca i."r deck, suspected nothing, but,
fretteo by the persistency of the sausages
in floating in the slip instead Of follow
ing the tide, called to two boatmen to
take them out OF the water. The boat
hen did so, and 1t was found that every
sausage" had q fine silk fish line tied
to 1t, at the end of which dangled box
of opium wrapped in oiled silk. There
was 1900 boxes in all, worth nearly So
900. The ''sausages" were scraps of
cork wrapped in tarpaulin and linked
with cord, each link being loaded with
sufficient salt to sink it about foot un-
der water.

A Devoted wife.

Mr.. Froude's biography Of Lord Bea-
consfeld contains the familiar story of
the crushing of his wife's fingers in the
carriage door on the night of one of his
good speeches in Parliament. 1t will
he remembered that knowledge of this
accident was withheld from her hus-
band for fear it might disturb his mind
on so important an occasion. 1t is now
made known in an English paper that
the gentleman who proposed Mr.. Dis
raeli the last time he was returned for
Buclinghamshire possesses the handle
OF that carriage door, and has had it
converted into corkscrew, with which
his old port is opened. The ardent and
curious admirer. also has the velvet lin
ing OF the coach with the Beaconsheld
crest and Lady Beaconsield's coronet
attached to it. -----,--, -

One Old shoe.

We have been shown a curious shoe,
owned by N. u. Bunker of Newburyport.
1t was found in an old house recently de
molished. which was built in 100. The
upper is of calfslin and closed with wax
thread. The sole and heel are of one
piece and made of wood. The upper is
fastened to the sole with common iron
tacks, the edge Of tie sole being mortised
the thickness Of the upper leather to
receive it. Across the toe the tacks are
brass. On the under edge of the sole
from the instep is band of iron like a
miniature horseshoe. channeled to re-
ceive the nails. Tie heel may have been
similarly shod, but If 50 it has been worn
off and the wooden heel is well rounded
by wear. The shoe is fastened by an
iron clasp, which in its day was some
what ornamental. 1t is one of the
curiosities of footwear, and we would
like TO know its history.
