HIS CROOKED CAREER.
Connell is well and unfavorably known in
this city, his principal friends being crooks
like himself Although he is now forty-two
years old he looks like a man of twenty-five or
thirty. He was Georgetown boy, but when
young man he started out to travel with toughs.
and now he has succeeded in making record
for himself. His first appearance in anything
but petty case was when he and John and
Tom Curren attempted to waylay and rob
Fitzhugh Coyle who was then on his tour pay
ing the employees of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal. The three men were taken to Cumber
land. where they were tried and sentenced to
ten years each in the Baltimore penitentiary.
After the expiration of that sentence Con-
nell returned here and picked up an all-round
young crook named Jim Stanley. With
Stanley and two women he went to Ohio, where
the two men robbed silk store. This time
they were given eight years, but the women
were not prosecuted. Stanley died and Con-
nell returned to this city He had been here
but short time when he attempted one of the
bOldest robberies ever perpetrated in the
Smithsonian grounds. and for which he was
arrested by Officer Weldon of the zoo.
Bail Was fixed at $4,000. which he gave. He
then jumped the city and left his bondsman to
arrange his financial matters MS best he could.
Inspector Swindells has communicated with
the chief of police of Evansville, and that Off
ciai says he hasa good case against the prisoner.
IT, however, the case should fail, he says he will
hold HIM for the Washington authorities.

A maiden fair.
He loved her; who would not? Her eyes were
soft,
And turned to his with saucy glance full oft;
And when his tircsome Latin put her out
Her pretty lips were all too prone to pout;
He longed to kiss thcm-loye had made him
But did not dare.
One morn he met her on the way to school,
The hour was late;
But wait he would not, could not. Thus he
sighed:
Sweet maid. prithee, be my beauteous bride!
Already hast thou marked, nor need tell,
That have loved thee long and passing well;
Nor time nor absence can my passion cool;
Let's conjugate"

"That would be fine;
But it's impossible. for, rs thou know'st,

The verb have not yet at all been taught.
I cannot cmjugate; all may dare
