He Arrests "Con" Man and
Lands Film in Jail.
The central patrol wagon little after
o'clock last evening responded to a
telephone call at the $500" workshops,
TWenty-ninth avenue northeast The
conductor of the wagon on his arrival
was astonished not to find po-
lice Gofficer. There was, however,
citizen, who had taken the
law in his own hands. He had a pris-
oner in charge whom he had arrested
on the 500" train for working con-
fdence game commonly known as the
short change racket" The prisoner,
who gave the name OF Nj. q. Riley, was
taken to the central station. The civil
ian who arrested MIN was Edmont ID.
BuckmaD. of Elmira, Mich He boarded
the train at ST. Paul, and was on his way
home. just after leaving Minneapolis.
Buchanan says, he noticed Riley sitting
opposite to him chatting with a couple
OF men. When opposite the $500" shops
Riley asked Buckman if he could
change $50 bill, and the latter said he
could.
Buckman pulled out an express pack
age containinga a large amount of money,
counted out the $50 and handed it to
Riley. The train was Just entering the
station and Riley threw So bill at
Buckman and started for the door
Buchanan saw at once he had
been the victim of a well planned
game, and in less time than it takes to
tell it he had captured his victim, and,
after hard struggle, in which both
were badly bruised, secured his money.
lie was not content with securing his
money, but got off the train with his
prisoner and telephoned for the patrol
wagon.
There have been several similar cases
reported on the 800" within the past
few weeks, and it is quite probable the
Off cias of that road Will assist in prose-
cutting the case. 1t is said that m old
man, only a few days ago, was fleeced
out Of 500 in the same way.
Riley is a snI00th-IOoking fellow. He
is OF medium height, light complexion,
with small brown muStache, and is
neatly dressed.
The officers at the station paid Mr..
Buchanan a high compliment for his
pluck. Riley will be arragned today,
but the case will probably not be tried
until Saturday morning, for the CON
ductor who was witness to the affair
will not return until then.

as Serious as Deacon.
New Orleans Picayune.
The luckiest and most persistent
gambler in Creede, Col, is fifteen
year-old consumptiye boy, who goes by
the name of Lucky Kid, and claims to
chants in this city. He was taken to
Creede from Denver by three of the
biggest sports, who look upon him as a
veritable mascot. and who consult him
as an oracle. But it is tempting the
fates too far for HIM to play their money,
and he leads the trio in all plays by
using the money of a woman. Left
handed Mollie, who constantly sits at
his side during the play, and who has
such abiding confidence in his luck and
Judgment that she has him carry her
purse all the time, never questioning
him as to the drafts he makes upon it.
Lucky Kid has decided penchant for
faro, but when the cards do not run to
suit him he switches to craps, and plays
them so highly that the doleful mono
tone of the sleepy genius who presides
over the cribbed semicircular table as
he drawlS "All down" is changed to a
livelier measure, and he breads the boy
as he does no other two-scOre plungers
in the camp. Lucky Kid won $3.50 at
craps in less than an hour one night,
and was in fair swing to ''bust the
game" when the banker shut him Off.
At another time he won 1,10O at faro
for Handed Mollie, and so hilarious
did 1t make her that she blew it all in,
with $500 more, on ball and banquet
to ''the gaug." Lucky Kid never takes
drink, and he is as quiet and earnest
as a Quaker. He plays in a business
way, and handles his chips with as
much care as bank cashier his coin

PRESERVING FOOD.
The Freezing Plan Seems to Be
the Most Effective.

The Freezing Plan Seems to Be
the Most Effective.
Blackwood's Magazine.
OF the four principal manners of pre-
serving food in use today, drying and
curing (the latter term including salt
ing, smoking and antiSeptic processes)
are not modern; while Timing and
freezing are entirely new. Timing
dates nominally from 1904, when Appert
made the first attempts at inclosing food
in Theoretically closed boxes; but long
course Of trials and improvements had
to be gone through before the excellence
of today was obtained. Dried vege-
tables were introduced by Chollet in
1915, but the products of that period
were miserable in comparison with
those turned out now.
Ice has been used for more than
quarter Of a century with the gre ateSt
advantage i'll the fishing feet, of which
it has entirely modified the work, but it
was not until 1875 that 1t began to be
seriously employed for the preservation
of meat during its transport from Amer
lea to Europe, nor till 1879 that the Bell
Coleman and HaSlam refrigeratOrS
which have rendered possible the trade
in frozen carcaSSeS, were introduced.
American frozen fresh meat was brought
into our markets III 1876, Australian in
1880 and New Zealand in 1882; and yet,
though their cOmmencementS are SO
near to us. the three together now rep
resent third Of all the meat sold in
London.
The second distinction is that TIN
ming, drying and curing are definite in
their action and are intended to pro-
duce more or less durable effects. while
freezing is, thus far, purely temporary
form of treatment, applied principally
during periods of transport.
The third is that, while drying usually
damages animal substances (thOugh it
is applicable without bad consequences
to many fruits and vegetables and
while the various forms of curing have
the Inconvenience of communicating Il
special taste to the matters treated by
them. both timing and freezing have
now been carried to such perfection Of
execution that III most caSSeS they en-
gender no i'll effects whatever.
1t is true that beef is injured some
what by freezing, but mutton is not,
partly because the texture of beef is
more opan than that of mutton, and
therefore more accessible to exterior in
fluences, but mainly because, while
sheep are frozen whole, and are pro-
tected by their skin against the direct
contact of cold with their inner fieSh
beef is cut up into quarters, and cut
surfaces Gnstead of skim are exposed to
coagulation. Freezing is, however. still
in its infancy. and much more may be
expected from it in the future than it
has achieved in the past.

The Health Statistics.

tics on population of 225,oO0 people in
Minneapolis. There were over $4,000
men registered at the recent election,
and by using the multiple of five

DR.. Kelley says the health department
of ST. Paul bases its death rate on a
population Of 10000 and the registra-
tion of that city was not 10000. The
death rate IN Minneapolis has been ex-
ceedingly low during the past few
months. DR.. Kelley says this is doubt
less due to the fact that the city has
been thoroughly cleansed twice during
the summer.i. e.. just before the conven-
ton and during the cholera scare.

A REMARKABLE BRUTE.
Latest Illustration of the Wonder.
ful Memory of the Elephant.

Phe sagacity of the elephant is a
chestnut" in all story books for boys,
but recent letter from Europe shows
it up in an entirely new light, and incl
dentally shows that while the sagacity
of the brute is indeed wonderful, that
of his exhibitor is simply marvellous, be-
sides having the supreme merit of being
pecuniarily fruitful. This account runs
thus:
The proprietor of the circus an
nounced that on certain night the ele-
phant would play the Russian hymn on
piano with his trunk. Intense in
tereSt was aroused, and when the even
ing came the eXpectant public crowded
the circus to the roof. After the usual
performances four men carried in cot
tage piano, which they placed in the
center of the arena. Then the intel
ligent animal was brought in, paraded
with much dignity three times around
the ring, and then, amid the keeneSt
excitement, went to the piano With a
movement of his trunk Me touched the
keyboard, but hardly had he done so
when surprising change came over
him. He trembled with fear and rage,
wlirled his trunk into the air, and then,
with scream OF terror, rushed out of
Tile arena.
There was great hurrying to and fro
of the employees, and the circus pro-
prietOr and the elephant keeper left the
ring for consultation. In few minutes
the proprietor returned and announced
with regret that the performance could
not take place. The fact was, he said,
that the elephant had recognized in the
keyboard of the instrument q portion OF
the tuSkS of his long-lost mother, who
had fallen prey to the ivory hunters OF
Africa. He had suggested to the Keeper
that another piano might be procured
but that expert bad informed him that
the animal was so overcome with emo
tion that it would be impossible for it to
perform that evening. Under these cir
cumstances he suggested that the Rus
sian Hymn" followed by the "Mar-
seillaise," should be played by the baud.
The entertainment was thus brought to
close amid the frantic applause of the
audience

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.-The atten-
ton of President Clement A. Griscom,
of the International Navigation COM
pany, has been called to the report troni
Washington, which stated that he is
said to have declared that ''in view of
the probable repeal of the mail subsidy

company to begin building in this cOun-
try vessels which would probably cost
81 800, 900 apiece"
Nh GriScOm expressed surprise that
any one should quote him as having
made the announcement therein stated,
with reference to the policy OF the In
ternational Navigation company, and
said that he must protest against being
quoted as authority for any intended
breach of faith by the United States
government or his company. The
statement is entirely incorrect, without
a shadow of foundation," sad Mr.
Grscom, land does not reflect the
views of myself or the company.

year by the Hon. W. Bourke Cochran,
of New York, providing for the natur-

was to put atioat on the North ATLANTIC

steamships of the highest class to carry

"'The international Navigation COM
pany accepted this legislation from

in the second degree. Of late there has
been considerable trouble in keeping
loafers and vagrants from sleeping in
the theater, and Manager Conklin gave
strict orders to Mr.. Sherman not to
allow any one to enter the building at
night who did not have right to. Sew
eral young men, known as members of
the Sons Of Rest, among whom was Gull
