those acquainted with Col. Ainsworth, of
Washington City, whose name has be-
come familiar in connection with the
Ford theater disaster, say gives the cue to
his predominant characteristic. Kautz
was with him in the army. After Aims
worth had been promoted in connection
with the Office of surgeon he was referred
to a. doctor. Kautx once addressed him
by that title and was surprised at Aims
worth's caustic reply.
'You ought to KNOW" are the words
used by Gen. Kautx in telling the story,
that my title is colonel
Il beg your pardon. colonel" was all
Gen. kautz said at the time.
Later he went to Ainsworth's quarters.
and on being asked what could be done
for him he simply stated that he had called
to call Ainsworth Colonel" and with
that he turned on his heel, said Good
morning, colon mel. and walked away.

A much-''wantedm burglar has just been
arrested by the Vienna police, his identity
having been discovered In an extraordinary
way, Says the London Daily Ne'cs. For some
time burglnrles were committed at the dwell
ings of wealthy persons during their absence
from Vienna. The police suspected that they
were the work of one man or gang OF men
whom, however, they were always unable to
trace Money aud yaluabes, jewels, silver,
rare books, and even Persian carpets, linen
and clothing, had been stolen. a few days
ago. in u court councillors apartments, where
the safe had been broken open and goods
worth many thousands had been stolen, II was
found that one of the thieves had exchanged
his dirty cuffs for pair of clean ones in the
linen press. The dirty ones bore four figures
in marking Ink on the inside. All the wash
erwomen of Vienna were questioned as to
those four figures, and suburban laundry
declared that they marked young man
linen whose name and address could be given.
The young man in question, named Gro'chi,
n clerk without occupation ~ years old,
modest in appearance, retiring and timld, Is
proved guilty of all the burglaries, which he
had planned and carried out alone. lie was
engaged to marry respectable girl, and was
