HOBBS, THE LoCK-PIcKER.
HowHE SURPRISED PEOPLE BY OPENING
THEIR GREAT SAFES.

Thesstory of the late Alfred ~
Hobbs experience in picking the
safety locks used by banks forty |
years ago, which has been briefly told
in the World, is full ofinterest. His
triumphs in the fifties, which resulted
in the great improvements of bank
locks which exist today. caused great
excitement at the time and it was the
resolution Of lock-makers to stop his
iconocla stic career so disastrous to
themselves that led to his exploit ef
picking the Herring safe in New York
city.
The object which Mr.. Hobbs had
in nicking locks was to demon strate
the superiority of the Day & Newell
lock, which he was selling, over that
of all others then in use. For this
purpose he made his own tools, His
first notable feat was opening at
Stamford, Conn, the lock and paddock
combination Of the Andrews Bank
lock. supposed to be invlncible. This
task he accomplished in twenty three
minutes. For four years he contln-
ued his work, when to stop him, q
reward of $500 was offered to any
one who would open within thirty
days the Herring safe in the Mer-
chants Exchange, New York. Hobbs
accepted the cAallange and picked
the lock in less than an hour.
. His exploits in London caused
!, furor. Bramah, the celebrated lock
, maker of London, had on exhi bitiol
, in his window a lock of his own pro
y duction. He offered 200 gulneas t.

The Walk of Some Statesmen.

Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, is hard on
shoes, requiring a new pair every month.
Mr.. Reed, although quite stout, is a
good pedestrian, getting over the ground
at fairly good gait. In the hotel lobby
his walk is stride. There is no hest
fancy about his step. His feet know just
what is expected of them and they do it.
The new secretary of the treasury,
Charles Foster, has the quick, jerky
walk of a man of business. He steps out
with the self consciousness of success
full statesman. He wears tho heels of
his shoes off evenly at the back.
William G. Whitney has light, quick
step, and so has Dan Lamont, who often
accompanies the ex-secretary of the
navy in public.
Secretary of the Navy Tracy walks
slowly and deliberately, looking straight
ahead, with the knowledge that he is
treading on solid ground.
Vice President Morton walks with al
most military precision. He brings his
heels down first when walking. His
walk indicates the man of careful, me-
thodical habits. He does not wear out
pair of shoes in two months.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 6.-The let
ter which recently appeared in the Ber-
lingske Tidende of Copenhagen. in
which Prince George of Greece gave a
detailed account of the attack upon the
Czarowitz by Japanese policeman.
greatly altered the estimates which
were at first formed here of the princess
action upon that occasion, and have been
the means OF placing him in terrible
disgrace in this city. The reason for
the altered feeling entertained for the
prince is the fact that be
caused to be published his own
account of the attack upon the czaro-
witz without previously submitting
the manuscript for revision. 1t is con-
sidered here that the story told by
Prince George emphasizes certain ru-
mors that the czarowitz did not ex-
hibit much bravery in running away
when he was attacked. Particular
offense is taken at the statement in the
princes published letter that after the
czarowitz had been struck and while
he was endeavoring to make his escape
from his assailant, he tumbled to the
ground through sheer fright.

New YORK, August 6.-"Give the
Kansas farmers two more crops as good
as their present one and they will be
out OF debt" said Martin Mohler of To-

state board of agriculture to a reporter.
Son the farms OF Kansas there are pro-
ducts now growing, worth 100000, 900
over and above the amount the farmers
require for their own use." Mohler
added:
''If the owners of those farms pay
$25, ,000, 900 for groceries and clothing
they will have 65,000,000 with which
to pay their debts, and the largest esti-
mate ever made of the farm indebtedness
was $160, 100000" Mohler said the fig
ures he named were not guess work, but
based on reports received from his
agents in the several counties in Kansas.
