Wheels Makes it Look That Way.
The police of this city are almost daily
called on to recover stolen bicycles. The
losses have become so numerous and the re-
coveries so few of late that many wonder what
becomes of the stolen machines. Some be-
lieVe that there is "fence' in this city where
the machines are taken and ''doctored" be-
fore they are placed on sale as ''second hand"
1t is easy for a mechanic TO transform the
wheel so that it is impossible for the owner to
recognize it. There may be "fence' of this
character in Washington. The police of New
York have lately unearthed Il fence of this
kind, kept by firm that stood in high repute.

writer, when his appetite for liquor overcamo
him he would remain for days in drunken
stupor in resorts Of the worst kind. The evil
increased as Colonel Mines grew older. At
in the Keeley cure, and going to Dwight, ILL.,,
put himself under Keeley's care. In few
weeks he left the institution completely cured
Of his appetite for drink, as he believed. He
wrote extensively in the magazines and
newspapers of the Kelley treatment, and
through him the attention of the East was at
tracted to 1t. For four months Colonel
Mines kept sober. Then he got on another
spree in New York, was sent to the infirmary
at Blackwell's Island, and died there. This
was stunning blow to the Keeley cure, and
will, no doubt, greatly affect Keeley's profits
from the twenty institutions he runs In differ
ent parts of the country. Keeley's alleged
discovery he has kept secret-and used for
his own personal proft-thereby shutting
himself out from the noble class of medical
men and scientists who give their discoveries
freely to the world. His so-called cure is
known as the bi-chloride Of gold treatment,
applied by hypodermic injections and taken
internally.
DR.. Keeley is OF Irish extraction. His
early years were spent in ST. Lawrence County,
n. Y. He is we'll educated and n graduate
in medicine. In the war he was an army sur
geon, and was interested in the study Of
inebriety, which he became convinced was
physical disease and accordingly to be treated
as such. AT the close of his experience In the
army he settled at Dwight, ILL.,, where he con-
tinued experiments, resulting In the an
nouncement that, after twenty years of la
borlous application to the task he had set him
self to accomplish, he had discovered a cure
Tor drunkenness. This claim has been dis
credited by many known failures, such as
that Of Colonel Mines; and the fact that
Kelley keeps his alleged discovery secret In
creases the suspicion OF IT'S real value.

Despite the newspaper gush on the one
hand and the violent censure on the other,
take my word for It that "Alss Helyett," the
Audran-Boucheron- Belasco comedy-opera, or
whatever 1t may be called, is success; not
brilliant, meteoric land COSTLY success, but
one Of the homely kind which yields Ameri-
can dollars instead Of lustre. The piece isn't
80 very much after all, but 1t doesn't shoot over
the heads Of the average audience, and It has
genuinely witty libretto which enables COM
edian to get real laugh without standing on
his head for it. The piece may not please the
classes particularly, but it is sure to be IA
vorite with the masses, and they are the
people the dramatic managers must look to
for the bulk Of their patronage. But the
piece needs some singers who can sing and
some actors who can act 1t Is unfair to ex-
pect any play to accomplish impossbilities.

itself by itself. This is about the case with
