TAYLOR MAS A TRICKY THIEF.
a Trusted Clothing House
EmpIoye

For several months past large quantities Of
clothing have been missed from the store Of
the Plymouth Rock Pants Company, No 943
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. The mys-
terry surrounding the case deepened from
day to day and perplexed Manager Kent
until yesterday afternoon. when it was
CLEARED away by a clever piece of work by
Detective Henry Lacy, OF police headquarters.
The detective arrested William Taylor, the
store porter, and recovered over $40 worth Of
the stolen property at his house. Taylor was
such trusted employe that Manager Kent
allowed him to keep the keys of the store in
his possession. When Detective Lacy men
toned Taylor as the probable thief the man
ager secuted the idea and remarked:
Il would trust Taylor with 81 ,000."
''You might do that" replied Detective
Lacy, but we have the jail full of those So
called confidential and trusted employees
However, if Taylor is worthy of your conf
dence. you should be fully convinced OF it.
Say nothing to Taylor or anyone else in your
employ until l see you again"
The detective then had talk with Tavlor
and requested him to go through his (1ay-
lor's) house with him.
''When?" queried the porter.
''Now. at once was the detectives quick
response.
Taylor agreed reluctantly and Mr.. Lacy re-
quested Manager Kent to go along and iden-
tify his goods.
Il will 60" replied Mr.. Kent, ''but know
my man is innocent.
''If he is innocent" replied the colored
sleuth, then I'll acknowledge that l am on
the wrong trail
When the trio arrived within 100 yards of
the house Taylor demanded TO know if Lacy
had a search warrant The detective had
provided himself with the necessary papers
and read the warrant to Taylor. The house
was entered and the search commenced A
trunkful of new clothing was found in the
portcr's room and Detective Lacy requested
Dir. Kent to take out all clothing that was
the property of the Plymouth Rock Pants
Company. The first articles taken out were
q coat and vest, valued at $50. Then in rapid
succession the detective produced two pairs
of costly pants, four vests, two fine tailor
made coats, and other articles valued at over
$40.
AS Taylor's populations have been going on
for nearly seven months it is believed that he
has disposed of hundreds OF dollars worth of
goods, and Detectives Lacy and Weldon will
strive to unearth more of the plunder. Tay-
lor was locked up at No. police station, and
will have a hearing in the police court this
morning
AS Detective Lacy was leaving Manager
Kent the latter said:
when you intimated to me yesterday that
you suspected my porter, Taylor, 1 concluded
that you were fool. But now cheerfully
acknowledge my error"

The annual reportof Major Gen. Schohe!d
to the Secretary Of War is a curious docu-
ment. The general in command Of the Army
makes the strikes Of the early summer the
text upon which to hang his sermon, and
breaches in very gloomy strain. As might
be expected, he deals principally with the
subject from a military standpoint, but he also
appears in the role Of q social economist, with
a warning and a remedy to be derived from
the lesson.
Gen. schoheld's panacea is very simple. In
his opinion If the army were larger when men
are thrown out Of work they would enlist,
and he suggests a flexible standing army, its
strength depending upon the discretion Of the
President. such suggestion might natu-
rally be regarded favorably by the military
man. but it would hardly meet the approval
Of a statesman. Gen. schofeld forgets that
when commercial distress falls upon a coun-
try not hundreds but thousands and tens Of
thousands are unable TO follow their usual
avocations The army could absorb such a
few Of them that this asylum plan would
be practically yaiueless.
But there is still Ii greater objection to the
SchOfeld cure for modern evils. The discre-
tionary power which he proposes TO lodge in
the hands Of the President would be so vast
and absolute that the mere thought Of it is
disturbing an INSCRIPTIONS President,
plant Secretary Of War, and a suparservice-
able commander oIthe Army would enable the

DENIED THE APPLICATION.

Judge McComas Win Not Mandamus Sec.
retary Carlisle for the Sugar Planters.
Judge McComas yesterday denied the ap-
plication of the Miles Sugar Manufacturing
Company, of Louisiana, for mandamus to
compel Secretary Carlisle to appoint inspec-
tors to ascertain the sugar production of the
company.
The object of the suit was to test the legality
Of the recent repeal OF the sugar-bounty pro-
vision of the Mckinley law, and also to lay
the foundation for an appeal to Congress for
payment of bounty for the current year. In
closing his opinion Judge McComas said:
"The court will not interfere by mandamus
with executive officers Of the government in
the exercise of their ordinary official duties,
even where those duties require an interpre-
tation of the law
The decision holds that the Mckinley act as
a whole is repealed, and to repeal the clause
relating to inspectors is fairly implied. The
attorney for the company asked that the or
der be not entered at present as consultation
was desired as to an appeal which might be
taken. To this Judge McComas assented

ANOTHER STAMP THIEF.
Small Number and Gives His Pursuers
a Long. Stern Chase

An addressed man walked up to the retail
stamp window at the city post-office yester-
day afternoon and asked the girl who was be-
hind the enclosure to give him 81. 50 worth OF
2-cent stamps. When the desired number
was handed out the fellow turned and walked
quickly out without paying for them.
J. /. Smith, another stamp clerk. heard he
girl scream. and being told of the bold theft,
ran after the fugitive. People along Seventh
street saw Mr.. Smith hurrying after the fell
low and crying out to stop him, but nobody
paid any attention.
Several letter er-carriers were also warned to
catch the fleeing thief but stupidity disre-
garded the cries OF the stamp clerk. Finally
Patrolman Kimmell was found after a num-
ber of squares had been trayersed. and he at
once arrested the fugitive.
When taken to the New Jersey avenue sta
ton the prisoner gave the name of John
Miller, and said he halls from New York.
When District Attorney Birney was asked
about the nature of Miller's offense he said
that it was very serious one aud covered by
special statutes.

THE NEWSPAPER OF THE FUTURE.

Three hustling young gentlemen of this city
have recently instituted system OF dis
seminating the days news at more frequent
intervals than those between the regular
issues Of the daily newspapers.
Far from entertaining any feelings of pro-
fessional jealousy toward this enterprise, we
are constrained to believe that it indexes a
future in which the present newspaper will
play very small part. THE TIMES does not
see any early grave for its own possibilities,
or those of its contemporaries, but it frankly
admits that the time is likely to come when
somebody will invent a somethingograph or
other TO connect one worldling with record
of the doings OF other Worldlings as often as
he shall thirst for news.
This somethingograph or other may be
electrical, or il may be psychical. At all
events, it is surely destined to make the
printed sheet a thing Of the past. The editor Of
TIE TINES, under date of about October r.
1000, viii probably pen the following:

claim, in the phraseology of the present:
