How Little job was Worked, and How

About o'clock Monday evening two men.
moderately well dressed, and having an air
of business about them, stepped into the
tailoring establishment of W. S. Matney
and asked to be shown some buttons of 4
peculiar kind, using u sample. There is Il
partition between the salesroom and work
shop and Mr. Matney and his workmen
were at the time engaged i'll the shop,
though in full view of the front. The but
ton case is AT the partition, and MIR. Matney
and one of the men, the smaller of the two,
stepped there to compare the buttons,
while the big fellow remained III front ex-
amining the display of goods. He had an
overcoat on his arm, and seemed to be in
no particular hurry, but suddenly remarked

A PECULIAR CASE.
Mrs. Pritchett Infiicts Two Ugly Wounds
Upon Her Head.

Upon Her Head.
The neighbors residing in the vicinity OF
Live Oak and Peach streets were last even
ing treated to q rather sensational episode.
A little son of Jake Pritchett came run
ming to a neighbours house, stating
that his mamma was bleeding to death.
Upon reaching the house they found Mrs.
Pritchett endeavoring to staunch the blood
which poured in torrents from wound on
the forehead in the edge of the hair. and
one in the back of the head. DR.. Parker
was summoned and upon arrival found tn G
woman still bleeding profusely. The wound
in the back Of the head penetrated the
skull, and is supposed to be fatal one.
The only statement that can be obtained
is the one made by Mrs. Pritchett herself,
who says she inflicted the wounds with her
own hands, as she wanted to commit
suicide. The wound in the back of the
head is peculiar one to be self
inflicted, and this gives rise to
the belief that the woman must
possibly be attempting to shield
some one as, SO far as known. she was alone
in the house when the attempt was made, and
there are consequently no eye-witnesses to
the deed, the first one to discover il being
the little boy, lad about seven years of
age, who happened to enter the room and
saw his mother endeavoring to wash away
the blood that was streaming down her
face and back
The weapon with which the deed was
committed was taken in charge by the sur
geon and is now at True's drug store. It
is, an ordinary Ratchet, very dull, its edge
full of hicks, an6 completely saturated with
blood from point of blade to tip of handle.
The wounded woman may possibly re-
cover, but the chances are that she
will not linger longer than this
morning. Her husband is away
from home, the neighbors think at work in
the Territory. 1t is not known what i'm
PEELED Mrs. Pritchett to attempt self-de-
struction, if she did attempt it, for as far
as known her life was happy one.

General Secretary and Treasurer HAYES
next reported. Though the expenditures of
the order for the past year were swelled
by several extraordinary outlays,
the revenues were sufficient to meet de-
mands. BY order of the executive board
he had eXOnerated a number of assemblies
from payment of the per capita tax, but
urged that requests of this sort should
be discouraged. He complained that some
assemblies send incorrect reports to the
full taxation, and asks that means
be devised for preventing this. He closed
with hope that the order may have a
respite from strikes and labor troubles, SO
that the general officers can attend to
educational work.

The general executive boards report fol-
lowed. 1t states that there is growing
feeling in England and other countries
in favor of autonomy, and rec
ommends that it should be
granted. A number of letters were read
from the order in South Africa and New
Zealand where it is growing
rapidly. The board had prepared full
statement of the difficulty with the govern
ment bureau of engraving and printing at
Washington, which will be distrib-
uted TO the delegates. The re-
port of the board on the extradition
of Hughes, master workman Of the Clothing
Cutters, by Governor Pattison of Pennsyl-
yania on charges of conspiracy preferred
by the Rochester clothing man
nor for his action as illegal and
in defiance Of all precedents. The board
ais complains that labels of the order are
counterfeited Systematically and that as the
law affordr no sufficient protection, asks the
appointment of special committee to devise
graduates the order on its membership
Of 21,000, but cautions against the

also explains that the power granted
at the last session to sell
the headquarters building at Philadelphia,
which was asked Tor by the board for rea-
son they then refused to give, was required
in order to enable them to remove
cloud on the title to the
property. This having been done it is now
recommended that the power to sell be
withdrawn. This evening formal recep-
ton was given the general officers and

"Honor Among Thieves"

1.-The old saying that there is honor
even among thieves seems to lead many
persons to believe that higher sense Of
honor prevails among crooks than is pos
sessed by other people" remarked the
acting superintendent of one of the lead
ing Chicago detective agencies. Nov,
that is n sad mistake. Thieves are the
best friends we have in our line of work.
We get more assistance from crooks than
from any other source, and | believe
would be warranted in saying all other
sources combined. We make one thief
catch another. That's the whole system
in nutshell. Very often we get n
crook into very tight place, when, in
order to help himself, he is willing to help
us. Ii is n very common thing for pris-
oners to turn states evidence. OF
course, there is good reason for this
sort of display of virtue; but it is al
most a daily occurrence for crooks to
come to us with tips and information
that they want to sell when there is
nothing 20 induce them to do so except a
laudable desire to earn q few dollars.
Jealousy-professional jealousy, If you
plcase-often figures in such cases, too.
But IL may be set down os n fact that the
average crook Is about as dishonest in
dealing with men of his own ilk as he is
In his intercourse with his betters. -
