several almost sleepless weeks. Before
they succeeded they had in their hands
nearly fifty complaints. At last they got
on the trail of two ex-convicts named
Charles Seley and Frank Beal. They fol-
lowed the suspects to their rooms and
found the apartments filed with stolen
goods The men practically confessed and
are good for long terms at their old home
San Quentin penitentiary. While serv-
ing previous sentence at the prison Beal,
who is only twenty-five years of age, gained
notoriety by making counterfeit coins in
his cell He bought food and all the little
extra comforts q convict is allowed in large
quantities and flooded the institution with
bogus half dollars. Seley, who is forty
years old, has done time for larceny and
forgery The two have been partners since
their release early last spring.
The New York case was a great puzzle
for time. Last March Mrs. Porret, an
italian, and her daughter Josephine aged
thirteen, were arrested for passing bad
coin. They protested their innocence so
vigorously at their trial and the evidence
against them was so inconclusive that
they secured an acquitUal. But from that
day on government officers had them un-
der surveillance. The sleuths also tracked
the husband and father, Michael Porret.

Tennyson is unusually vigorous for a
man of eighty-two and walks several miles
day, but Lady Tennyson is a complete in
valid. Besides them the family consists of
their son and his wife. Professor John Tyn-
dali, the agnostic philosopher, is a neigh
Dor, and he and his family are the only in
Inmates of the Tennysons. 1t is thought in
the vicinity that the poet is also an agnos-
tic. At any rate, he has not entered 8
church for many years, and though he is
quite friendly with the local clergy, the
least attempt on their part to draw out his
views terminates the interview at once.
His prime favorite in that class, however,
is the Rev. P. Haythornthwaite, Roman
Catholic priest, known to the islanders as
Father Peter. The very orthodox Duke of
Argyll is also a favorite visitor at Lord
TeHnyson's, and there ends the list. He

making two important captures recently
one in San Francisco and the other in New
York.
The hunt in the former city was after
house5reakers. Some time ago complaints
began to pour in on Chief Crowley from
people whose residences had been raided.
He turned the cases over to Detectives Bee,
Harper and Seymour. They made pre-
liminary investigations and compared
notes. 1t developed at their conference
that all the depredations had occurred be-
fore dark, and that, therefore, they were
the work of what are known as daylight
burglars.
The plan adopted by that class of Grim
inals is to watch the residence of some
wealthy family until they are satisfied
that all the inmates are absent. Some af-
ternoon when the men are away at busi-
ness, the women go shopping or to mat
5nee, and the servants take advantage Of
the opportunity to run across the street for
a chat with other domeStics. Then man
rings the front door bell to make sure that
everybody is out. Satisfied on this point,
he signals to his pal" the two break open
a window, rausack the rooms and escape
with a valuable bundle of plunder.

The strange feature of the czar's case is
that his chief friends outside of his own do
minion are found in republican France.
His royal reception of the French feet, the
feteS at Cronstadt, Peterhof and St. Peters
burg in honor of the French naval forces
and the cars evident willingness to join
in humbling Germany, have quite won the
hearts Of the French. Partisan journals
declare that he is the only monarch in the
world whose name is cheered there, all OF
which is striking illustration of the old
saw that politics makes strange bedfellows
Alexander was born March 10, 1S45, the
son of Alexander II, who was killed by
nihilist bomb and was the son of Nicholas,
who died of chagrin and was the son OF
Alexander l, who died natural death and
was the son of Crazy Paul, who was muir
dered by his mobiles and was the son of the
infamous Catharine-and there the point
of uncertainty in pedigree is reached.
Alexander II was blown up March Ii, 1881,
and the present czar at once succeeded to
the throne at the age of thirty-six. In 1865
he married Marie Feodorouna, daughter Of
Christian TX of Denmark, and they have
five children. The oldest and prospective
successor is Nicholas, born in 1868, the
czarowitch who recently had a narrow es-
cape from assassination in Japan.
Alfred, now Lord, Tennyson, was born
Aug. 6, 1909, at Somerby, in Lincolnshire,
his father being a minister of the estab-
hshed church and his mother the daughter
of a minister. He commenced writing
verse in boyhood and continued it with
tolerable regularity for forty years; but it
was not TIL 1850, when his "In Memoriam"
appeared, that the world recognized him
as a poet He was made poet laureate
Nov. 81, 1850, and in 1855 published
Maud" which was followed soon by
"Idyls of the King" This seems to have
been the elimination of his genius, but on
that point there is naturally great diversity
of opinion among critics.
Lord Tennyson lives most of the year at
his very secluded residence in the Isle of
Wight, and that love of privacy which was
always LIS IuOSG uldEh6u JfdlJ has HOW
reached such an extreme that it is almost
impossible for strangers to get a glimpse
of him, or even of his house and grounds.
Formerly visitors were admitted to some
of the walks and drives, but they cut
branches from the trees or uprooted and
carried away ferns or other plants, and
now they find locked and spiked gates and
notices that all trespassers will be severely
