BLACKpIAIBERs CAUGHT.
A Physician Appeals to the Police Afte
Paying Out Sc, 900.

ray ing Out SSO,OOO.
NEW YORK, Sep. 1.-THE sequel to the
proceedings in court recently, when Dr.
Benson w. Feldnan was ordered to pro-
duce Katie Bella Malkahowitz on a writ
of habeas corpus, came out in the Tombs
Court, when it developed that the ply
stefan had been the victim of a black
mail scheme in which he had been robbed
of Sc, 900 inside of eighteen months. He
does not deny that he took the girl to a
house of i'll repute, but says she was per-
fectly willing to go. It was the custom
of her employer, Simon Tilberstein,
a cloak manufacturer of 1927 Madison
avenue, to instruct his girls to notify him
as soon as they made the acquaintance of
men of means and he has been black
mailing several victims through this
means.
He followed the doctor and demanded
500. He got this money and signed a
receipt promising to keep quiet He did
not keep quiet but compelled the doctor
to pay hush money to the family Of the
girl and was also forced into q promise
to set up her lover IN business.
The girl has been leading a fast life,
and lent herself willingly to the black
mail. The doctor had to establish her in
luxury to keep her from telling his wife,
but the demands on his purse became 80
frequent that he made clean breast to
her. She forgave him, and detectives
who were hired to run down the conspir-
acy, arrested Tilberstein. The cloak
maker was held in $1,000 to answer
There will be more arrests soon, lawyer
also being in the conspiracy.

which purposes the country is divided
into five districts, each under special
officers.
A constabulary mans life is very
varied one, according to the part of the
country he is stationed in. Some of the
barracks, in which four or more men
are lodged, are in towns and prosper
Gus districts; others are situated in
wild and sparsely-inhabited localities,
where even the ordinary necessaries of
life are obtained with difficulty. In re-:
mote disturbed districts where outrages
have occurred or are apprehendcd,
portable iron huts, specially made for.
the purpose, are often erected, and
few police quartered there till the
troubles have subsidized. 1t should be
mentioned that the constabulary are
now armed with the Snider carbine and
sword bayonet, and under special Cir
cumstances with revolvers. When on
ordinary town duty, however, they are
equipped with batons only.
There is q mounted force of about 800
men, who are distributed principally
through the towns. They are smart,
well-equipped body, and are available
for serious disturbances in any part Of
the country.
In 1889 depot was formed in Dublin
consisting of both cavalry and infantry,
and a number Of officers and men under
instruction. The depot is the school of

instruction for police, and is established
in handsome and spacious barracl1 III
the Phoenix park. The chief officer Is
styled the commandant, and is an as
sistant inspector general of the force.
Tho pay of a constable, says London
Black and White, ranges from e54 to
$40; that of q sergeant from 975 to
ESQ, and head constable from 991 to
e1o4. An army officer commences at
2125, and the higher appointments
range from $500 to 5000. A fair proper
ton Of officers are appointed by promo
ton from the ranks. The pension is
about the same as the civil service
scale, viz, two-thirds Of pay after forty
years service. Pensions arc also grant
ed to widows and orphans.
With such liberal emoluments as
these it may be easily imagined that
there have been an immense num-
Der of applications to join the
force of late years, and in conse-
quence the process of selection is
gradually becoming moro and more
| trying. 1t is recruited almost exclusive
ly by Irishmen, about thrce-fourths of
| whom are Roman Catholics. Appoint
ments in the officers ranks are made by
| nomination of the Irish government in
the first instance, the candidates being
then subjected to a competitive exami-
nation by the civil service commission
| ers.
The force possesses q fine band sta
| toned at the depot, which is acknowl-
| edged to be one of the first in the three
kingdoms, and has on several occasions
been invited to perform at public ester
| tainments outside Ireland

of Inhuman Treatment.
New YORK, Sep. 17.-Robert H. Nc
Bride, the Dakota newspaper man, who
is the defendant in a suit for divorce at
Prairie du Chieu, Wis, is wellknown
here.
The plaintiff, Nina Linn Mcbride, is a
daughter of the late General Sturges Of
the regular army, and was left So, 900, :
900 by her first husband, Col. H. L.
Dausman of Milwaukee.
Mcbride and Mrs. Dausman were mar
ried seven years ago, and Immediately
went to New York. There Mcbride be-
came personal friend of Gov Hill, and
during four years residence in New Y ork
cut a wide swath, spending his wife's
money freely.
She became suspicious of his attentions
to a New York woman and put detec-
tive on his track. A separation ensued.
The complaint against Mcbride is alleged
cruel and inhuman treatment.

Royal Irish Constabulary.
Force of Picked Men Consisting of
Thirteen Thousand Members of All
RanIxs-1Iost of Them arc Irish
and Roman Catholics.

The Royal Irish constabulary now
consists of some 10, 600 men of all ranks,
under the command of an inspector
general, Sir Andrew Reed, who is
placed in direct communication with
the executive. The inspector general
is assisted at headquarters by a deputy
inspector general, an assistant inspec-
tor general and civil service staff. A
county inspector is placed in charge of
each county, except Cork, Galway and
Tipperary, which are divided into rid
ings. Counties or rulings are divided
into districts varying from three to ten,
according to size, each of which is in
charge of district inspector, who Is
under command of the county inspec-
tor. To each district headquarters a
head constable is attached, who, in the
absence of the district inspector, acts
for him, and is the responsible officer.
Belfast Is under control OF a special
officer styled 1.-The commissioner of po-
lice" who has a number of district in
spectors under his command. Other i'm
portant cities and towns have also spe-
cial arrangements.
In addition to these there is a special

The Entertainments Rreakfast.

An American should always under
stand what is meant by breakfast in
London. He will probably take break
fast in his lodgings or, if he lives in
the hotel, in the coffee room at fixed
charge. There are two distinct classes
of breakfast, says the Chicago Herald,
the light and the substantial, with
prices to match. The first is one cup OF
coffee, one boiled egg and three slices
of toast; the latter is one small chop,
one egg, a penny loaf Of bread, one but
tered muffin and coffee. The principal
dish Of this latter menu is varied in
lodging houses from day to day, the.
chop becoming sausage on Tuesday,
ham on Wednesday, fried sole on Thurs
day, and then the lonely chop again,
with the subsequent rotation kept up
ad infinitum. .E@

a Chicas oan Appreciates the Genus and
Says Word in His Praise.
It is by no means the worst thing in
the world to be called q crank. I find
as prowl up and down through the
earth that wherever meet a man with
sufficient individuality to take a stout
stand against impurity and shams OF
every kind, too honest to get rich by
underhanded methods and too brave to
be cowardly conformist, he is called a
crank. Wherever a woman is found
who thinks more of her brain than of
the hat that surmounts it she is a crank,
says writer in the Chicago Herald.
Wherever a man is found who hon
cstly believes life holds better things
for him than to become dancing pop
Inlay and social success by reason of
fine clothes and society manners, who
would rather wear shiny scanned coat
and an questionable hat, and thus
gain the means to cultivate his mind
and enlarge his soul, he is crank.
Wherever q young girl is found who
laughs at fashion and wears a gown to
please herself, rather than to conform
to passing style, who stands by q
friend at the risk of becoming unpopu-
lar, and who is law unto herself by
the dictates of her own pure, sweet,
womanly heart, she is crank. Dis
coverers are cranlxs. Philanthropists
and poets are cranks.
Christopher Columbus was q crank,
and yet Chicago, after four hundred
years, is turning itself head over heels
to do him honor. All! well, my dear,
when you count on your fingers the
worlds most famous cranks and note
the outcome Of their crankiness, who
would not choose but go down upon the

A LION AS A PILLOW.
How Tanner Avoided the Service of a
Jury Summons.

How Tanner Avoided the Service of a
Jury Summons.
An amusing sketch Of two lion whelps
which were adopted as pets during the
writer's residence in South Africa is
given by a contributor to Forest and
Stream. The lioness appeared to amuse
herself by playing pranks on human
strangers of her own sex, lying in am
bush for them under the dining table.
Fearing that something serious
might occur if allowed my pets their
liberty any longer, had a large cage
constructed. and for the first week Or
two was obliged to spend much time in
it with them. The ioness fretted a
great deal, and the only way had of
quieting her was to go in and lie down,
using the lion as a pillow, while she
stretched herself beside me with her
head on my chest.
One day the sheriff informed me that
he had summons in his office for me
to serve as juryman. I begged off,
but he was memorable. A few days
afterward he rode up to my gate, and I
called my servant to open it for him
while hurried to the lions cage
Presently heard him calling me, and
on my answering he gradually found
his way to the den, in which I was
seated On the lions recum bent body,
while the honess sat behind me with
her chin resting OH my shoulder. As
soon as he saw me he sprang back and
cried: ia
ss(or,on out ar t1ere,,'
Gland that summons in here and
will do sos
''Do you want my arm torn off?''
''No, but want you to make legal
service Of that paper by handing it to
me-
II shall not take any such risk, but
will tear up the paper If you viii only
come out and save me from seeing you
torn into pieces"
The paper was torn up and I stepped
ont of the cage, much to my friends re-
lief. A short time after met the judge
in the street, who wished to know if
my mode Of lodging jury duty was the
one commonly practised in my own
country.

SPOONS OF BREAD.
How tho Beyrout Staff of Life Serves Two
Purposes.

How the Beyrout Staff of Life Serves Two
Purposes.
Here comes the bread-seller. He is
one of a large class, and the flat, pam
cake~ike loaves that he has in his bas-
ket show how the Beyrout people make
bread. The same fiat cake, of varying
size and thinness, is everywhere the
form of bread in Palestine and Syria.
When fresh it is very sweet and palat-
able, but when old, much like shavings,
says traveller writing in St. Nicholas.
At some towns in Mount Lebanon the
loaves are baked in circular form,
about two feet across, and almost as
thin as paper 1t is related that once a
foreigner, on eating his first meal in
the mountains, took one of these loaves
and spread it on his lap, thinking twas
some new style of napkin. Strange as
this seemed to the Syrian host, we can
hardly be surprised at the mistake, for
to our western eyes this thin, pliable
sheet looks far more like cloth than
bread
advantage, in that it does away with
the necessity of using spoons Those
sitting at dinner tear. off piece from
the loaf, fold it as g cup and then dip a
portion of food from the general dish in
the center of the table, devouring thus
with each moutl1ful both spoon and con-
tents.
The housewives Of Beyrout enjoy &,
touch Of that convenient cooperation
that is proposed by certain rcforn1ers Of
to-day; not that they take their meals
in palatial public dining rooms; but they
do have public ovens. thus doing away
with some Of the households private
gear
The dough is Aattened out into disks
of the proper size, and the boys or girls
of the family put these On trays and
carry them to the nearest oven, whore
they are soon baked On the smooth hot
slabs. We cannot stop here to describe
the various and interesting processes Of
bread making as they arc practiced in
the villages Of Lebanon or in the
Redouin camp, Other thiExss.s close at
hand crowd upon our attention.
