MUSCLE FOR MAIDENs.

Alcide Capitaine Tells How to Go to Work
to Get Strong. |
Alcide Capitaine, the perfect woman
now at Proctor's theater in New York
is already we'll known as daring and
wonderfully clever trapeze performer,
but people do not realize that the ex-
traordinary feats which she performs
in midair are simply an outcome of a
strength and muscle as remarkable for
a woman as are Eugene Shadows for a
man. Mile. Capitaine is what one
would call petite woman, being but 5
feet 2 inches. Her features are small
and very regular, and her white teeth,
smooth, rosy skin, and bright eyes tell
a tale of regular exercise, regular eat
ing, and regular life generally.
The little woman, who was hardly
more than 20, was cozily ensconced in
her dressing room, gowned in very
feminine gown of soft satin and lace
ruffles, and the very first thing she said
when asked by a Recorder reporter
what the American woman should do
to make herself strong and fine looking.

THE OMAHA WRECK.

Disobedience of Orders Responsible For
tho Collision at Menomonie Junction.
ST.. PAUL, May 12.-The collision on
the Omaha at Menomonie Junction,
Wis, in which two men were killed
and many others injured, was caused
by disobedience to train orders. The
express had received orders to wait for
the freight at Menomonie Junction. but
for some reason these orders were not
obeyed. Two trainmen were killed
outright-Engineer James Jeffrey of
the passenger train and Express Mes
senger w. T. Burt. Fireman Seth
Gardner escaped with cut and bruised
leg. The two mail clerks on the train,
Fl. G. Harlow of GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, and
W. S. Reese of Dodgeville, Wis.,, were
injured. The latter has broken leg
and other injuries. Harlow's injuries
are not serious. Engineer Mickey Of
the freight escaped injury. The fire.
man, William Simonds Of st. Paul, had
his right arm injured. They both
jumped when they realized that a COL
lision was inevitable.

that he is wearing broadcloth and has
a long gray mustache. When the
proper time comes, he whips off his
beard and shouts something like at
last l have you!' Then the man who ID
pinched says: Great heavens! The
silent sleuth!'
"Just imagine q man going around
in broad daylight with bunch of false
whiskers fastened to his facet"
"How about his getting large sum
of money and then marrying the girl?
That's the way it is in the story pa
pers."
~All rot, every word of it. The first
class detective is quiet, intelligent
man who must work hard and faithful
~ for his salary and always keep him
self in the background. The chances
are that after he has brought a case to
a successful issue and cornered his man,
he will have nothing to do with the ar
rest and his name will never be known
in connection with the CASE"
"Then it is hard work?"
ayes, and very often it has not the
element of excitement to give it in
terest. Every detective of experience
has enemies and is in more or less
danger from them, but as rule they
are willing to let him alone. There is
an exception now and then, as when
William Pinkerton met Jack Hennes-
sey on side street in San Francisco
and came very near being shot. Pinker-
ton did not know that Hennessey was

| pounds with her hands, was:
ooh, they should not eat SO many
sweets They are so bad for them, for
their muscles and skin, digestion and
teeth. Sweets and pastry are always
to be avoided. To be a strong woman
and to develop a good figure one must
follow the same recipe as for a good
complexion. Live regularly. Above
all, do not eat anything fried in grease
or drippings, but only in butter or oil,
and take regular exercise. AS an ex-
ample of what careful training has
done can tell you what I measure, and
had never worn a corset until came
to America two months ago. My waist
measure is twenty three, bust forty
two, biceps fifteen, and I weigh 140
pounds.
"The woman who wishes to be
strong" continued the woman whose
biceps measure one and one-half inches
more than Peter Jackson's, "should
rise early" I do not believe in much
sleep. Exercise in the open air takes
the place of it for tired nerves, and
seven hours is enough for anyone, but
of course some doctors recommend
more. She should then practice for
fifteen minutes with pair of two
pound dumb-bells. &&
"The best exercise for expanding the
chess and ventilating the lungs is to
raise the arms straight up, then lower
ing them slowly and striking out from
the chest, gradually moving the arms
backward. There are various simple
but excellent exercises for limbs, hips,
ETC., and each one should be gone
through about fifteen times. When
the candidate for biceps has done this
for couple of days and feels sore all
over she must not rub herself with
violet oil, but must take warm baths,
and stiffness will soon disappear. After
the dumb-ben exercise she can take
cold bath and breakfast and then q
mile walk in the open air. Bicycling
is a good exercise also. For meals she
must eat beef, poultry, mutton, ana
drink red wines, not all of a gulp like
an American, but sip by sip as she eats,
like an Italian or French woman.
Her clothes should be warm, but light
and easy, tight corsets and heavy skirts
should be abolished, and with faithful
adherence to this regime and simple,
regular life, she will soon rival her
brothers if not outstrip them in mus
cular development"

DECIDED AGAINST M'kANE.

The Gravessnd Boss Gets No Relief From
the Federal Courts.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-The appeal of
John Y. Mex ane to the United States
supreme court was decided against Nc
Kane, Justice Harlan delivering the
opinion.
McKane, in his appeal, contended
that he should have been allowed to 60
out on bail pending the appeal, as the
constitution intended to confer that
right in all but capital cases. The JUS
tice held that the matter of bail in such
q case was entirely within the jurisdic-
ton of the state cou-t. Also that the
warden of Sing Sing prison had no right
to return McKane to the sheriff of New
York pending the apdeal, as the appeal
had no effect upon his imprisonment.
McKane was overruled at every point
without a dissenting opinion from any
of the justices.

within 1000 miles of San Francisco.
On the other hand, some of the biggest
criminals in the country nod and smile
when they meet some man who helped
send them over the road.
"But l started to tell you that the
work is hard. The ordinary detective
does more 'roping' and Swallowing
than anything else. 'Roping' means to
under suspicion, run around with him
and become so frien dly that he will
leak what you are after. Swallowing
means following a man and observing
his doings without allowing him to see
you. It doesn't follow that every man
you shadow is criminal or even a
suspect. I have Swallowed some of the
best men in this town"
"Why is it hard worlz?"
because you must be extremely
vigilant for hours alta time. Hours, did
I say? You may be after him for days
and weeks. If he leaves his place of
business and walks down the street you
must follow him. When he goes home
you must follow,i if possible, on the same
street car"
doesn't he see you?"
avery seldom. Wait till he gets on
the car and then you get on the front
platform, or as far away as you can
and still be where you can keep your
eye on him. Under no circumstances
get on the same platform with him.
He is likely to start up a conversation
and get good square look at you, and
then if he sees you again he will
recognize you. Besides, if you are in
the same part of the car that he is you
will be compelled to follow close be-
hind him when he gets off the car, and
that would be bad, of course. If you
are on the front platform you can get
off at the same street without exciting
any suspicion or letting him see you.
If you are shadowing man and you
believe, from his actions, that he is
watching you and is suspicious of you,
the thing to do is to call another oper-
ative from headquarters and let him
take your place. If he gets on to the
second man put third on his track.

IT BECOMES A TEDIOUS Jo3 AT. TINES.
1t will keep him guessing. and as a
rule he will conclude after awhile that
his suspicious are unfounded and that
no one is following him. Never walk
on the same side of the street as the
man you are 'shadowing.' l have fol-
lowed men who knew they were under
suspicion and so they were on the look
out all the time, but one of them usual
~ suspected man walking close be-
hind him and never thought of me, be-
cause I was across the street and per-
haps a block away" &

matte Relations with Portugal.
" WASHINGTON, May 14.-Senor Men
donca, Brazilian minister has received
the following cablegram from his
government:
The president Of the republic has
suspended diplomatic relations with
Portugal, giving passports to Count
Parraty and the personnel OF the legar
ton in Brazil, and ordered the Brazil.
ian legation in Lisbon to withdraw.
Cause Of the Interruption.
This interruption Of diplomatic rela-
lions is the direct result of the naval
commanders in Brazil in aftording
asylum to the Brazilian rebels. When
Da CANA abandoned his feet in harbor
March IS, last, he took his followers
aboard the Portuguese men OF war
Mindello, and Alfonso de Albuquerque
where they were sheltered.
May or May Not Mean War.
A rupture of diplomatic relations is
sometimes tantamount to declaration
of war, but it is scarcely thought to be
80 serious in this case. It is difficult to
sec how the Portuguese government can
conciliate Brazil, although this might
be accompli shed by the surrender OF
Admiral da Cana, who is reported to
be On route to Portugal, and ample
apology. Portuguese pride, historical
in its obstinacy, will probably stand in
the way Of any such concessions, and it
is more than probable that the two ma
tions will continue to stand in an I'M
friendly attitude towards each other
until time mollifies the outraged feel
inRs Of the Brazilians.
