CAN'T SEE ANYTHING GREEN.

A Little Boat of Emerald Hue Fooled the
Cruiser and Monitor Too.
A report is about to be sent to the
navy department regarding certain ex-
periments which have been conducted
bI this harbor during the summer under
tile auspices of the torpedo station to
determine upon measures to be en-
ployed by torpedo boats to escape detec-
ton with searchlights. The Cushing
has been the boat in use, and much
progress has been made. The torpedo
boat at no time used both her boilers
in steaming about, and consequently did
not run as fast as she might.
She was tried painted in several col
ors, but was discovered until a dull green
hue was used Then she ran into the har-
Dor before the powerful searchlights of
the cruiser San Francisco and monitor
Miantonomoh as well as the big light at
the station could detect her. She got
within few feet of each of the war ves-
sells. and in fine position to do great
damage with her torpedoes.
On last Monday night the Gushing en-
tered the harbor, and although both YES
sells were looking for her she passed COM
pletely around the island on which is the
torpedo station twice without being de-
tected. These experiments are said to
be more successful than any carried on
in the same line by any nation.
The green appears to be the proper
color for torpedo boats. In the glare of
the searchlight it is quite like water. At
times it resembles the emoss grown rocks.

AN ALL ROUND caAcKsMAN.
His ThievIngs Cover Wide Field, From
Canned Goods to Tombstone.

His Thievings Cover q Wide Field, From
Canned Goods to II Tombstone.
Kansas City has developed one of the
most unique thieves that has yet been
heard of in rcal If. Several months
ago the police s'rre lenred that a sneak
thief was making aemedations upon eel
lars and pantries and even on outlying
grocery stores, and carrying off canned
goods and such eatablcs as were not per-
ishable.
There were certain peculiarities about
the robberies that led the police to be-
lieve that they were all done by the same
person, but thero was 10 clew that they
could follow to catch the thief. After
amassing goodly quantity of food ON
which to start to housekeeping the thief
began on fuel, and whole cartloads were
carried away, each case showing the evil
lences of the food thief. When full
,upplyof coal WAS taken. the thief turned
mis- attention to furniture and carried
IF articles Of all kinds, from light chairs
a heavy bedstead with mattresses. An
sntire bedroom set was taken from a
mouse and no trace left. The family
was absent for a night. and on their re-
urn they found their room despoiled.
Having furnished his bedroom and
parlors, the depredator set about getting
lis kitchen in order, and first an ice
;hest was taken from house in Ar
mourdale, and then cooking stove and
Kitchen table from house in Rosedale.
BY this time the police were fully alive
to the fact that the stealing was going
on right under their noses, and they be-
gan to talk about the queer thief. This
attention seems to have fiattered the
thief, for he signalized his presence next
by carrying off a large baseburner stove
from a parlor in Kansas City, Kan,
while the family were spending the even
ing with a neighbor This occurred last
week, and since then it appears that the
man has his furniture, food and fuel for
the winter, for the depredations have
ceased.
Another phase, however, seems to
have broken out, and it is evident that a
member of the thiefs family has sick
ened and died. A few days ago drug
store was broken into and medicine
taken, and last night the climax was
reached when the thief went to the Gem
etery out on the Quindare boulevard and
carried off fine tombstone. There is
talent here that shows the development
of system that would beat bank, and
the police are very anxious to make the
of the thief.-Cor. st.

A Cherokee strip Romance.

Yesterday Joseph K. Bracken of Mem
phis and Miss Lille. McGlashin of Still
water, o. T., came to this city and were
married by the probate judge. The
young lady had secured a fine claim
near Perry in the Cherokee strip, and
the judge told her that if she got mar.
ried she would probably lose the claim.
She laughingly replied that she would
sooner have n man than claim any day.
and the ceremony proceeded. 1t after
ward came out that the couple first met
on the day of the strip opening, when he
stopped to help her drive a couple Of
sooners off the claim she had staked. He
then went on, but because of the delay
failed to get q claim, and finally returned
to claim the girl he left behind him.
After they had been married they re-
turned 10 Perry, and the happy groom
at once filed contest on the claim taken
by his bride. so if the department does
decide that she cannot hold it he will
get it. and it will still be in the family.
