About 2 o'clock on Friday morning
George Routledge, of Pittston, was
awakened by the cries of young three
year-old child. He attended to the
child's wants, but she could not be calm
ed. Upon further investigation they
were surprised to discover that it had
been shot through the leg. They found
the bullet in the child's bed and found
that the shot had come through near
by window.
There is no clue as to where the shot
came from, or the miscreant who was

Philadelphia, Pa, May u, 1894.
Dear Sirs:-The steamship Poland,
which arrived at the port of New York
about May 10, 1894, had on board several
cases of small pox. One of her immi-
grants was destined for your town. 1t

Claims of Her Detractors.
The name Marchesi is familiar to every
person who reads the musical columns of
the newspapers. We all know that she is
conceded to be the greatest vocal instructor
in the world and that she lives in Paris,
but beyond those facts the general public
Is in the dark. She is responsible in a great
measure for the professional success of
Media, Etelka Gerster, Emma Eames,
Emma Nevada and lima di Murska. She
has half score of gold medals given to her
by kings and emperors, she is courted by
the leaders of the most exclusive artistic
sets in Paris, she enjoys an enormous an
nual income, and in spite of all this she is
as unassuming and mild hammered as
though she were at the bottom instead of
the top of the ladder of fame.
Weak imitators of Marchesi in this coun-
try are wont to inform aspiring American
girls who are anxious to shine in grand
opera that if they go to Marchesi she will
give them few high notes to which the
balance of the voice will be sacrificed. This
is manifest absurdity and is a device fire.
quently practiced by impecunious vocal in
structors who wish to squeeze the little
money out of the victim themselves. These
people simply exercise voice. They sell
dom or never develop it.
Marchesi and others like her, on the other
hand, make point of finding out at once
the respect in which an individuals voice
Is strongest or sweetest and then developing
those qualities to the utmost. Necessarily
the singer is benefited by this policy. Few
artists can hope to excel in upper, middle

Ross Winans had taken out patent on

The validity of the patent was attacked
and Harvey Waters was called as an ex

to transport long pieces of merchandise

TIE Hands AND FEET.
The , Indicate Moral and Mental as Well as
Physical Characte ristics.

The 3 Indicate Moral and Mental as Well as
Physical Characteristics.
''The foot is wonderful indicator of
character" said Superintendent Byrnes of
the New York police department to Mer-
curry reporter. 1.-THE man of honest mind
and intention puts his heel down squarely
and walks along in an independent but not
aggressive way. The criminal generally
puts his heel down cautiously and rounds
out his step to the toes. Here is a picture
of thief's foot" and the great thief catch
er took some papers from his pocket, and
on the back of an envelope drew his idea of
thief's foot.
Continuing, the superintendent said: mo
matter what kind of shoe or boot thief
wears, it will take on that rounded look
and turn up at the toe. The arch of the
foot is usually low, but in some cases may
be somewhat raised, but the general char
acteristics still remain. Then, again. the
hand is a great guide. The thieving hand
is almost always larger in proportion than
that of the honest man. If, as you can
easily Judge, this largeness is natural and
not the result of early and constant manual
labor, you will be safe in taking him for a
suspicious character until you find out all
about him. But it is the fingers especially
that are large, and they are always spatu-
lous. The nails are broad, not long, and the
flesh curls up over them. They all have a
broken look, not the smooth and polished
appearance of the nails of the honest hand.
And, by the way, there is more than nerv-
business the matter with people who bite
their nails 1t shows decidedly vicious or
criminal tendency, whether developed or
not.
"Speaking generally, the locomotive char
acteristics of the different classes of crimi-
nails may be summed up by saying the
sneak thief always moves along stealthily.
The mind, which is absorbed by the sneak
ing thought, imparts the manner to the
body. The bank burglar (who has become
scarce now, but the cashiers and other off

BECOMING TOQUE. SMALL BONNET.
third frock, with it's full, round bodice
and it's simple, single skirt, adds yet an
other style from which young folk may
select and still be in the fashion.
Bonnets have not gone out Of favor,
though most women have taken OH &C.
casions to wear hats. Royalty, even its
youngest members, has shown predi-
lection for wearing bonnets, and proba-
bly, it is the preference shown by the
Princess of Wales for small bonnets that
has brought them so much into favor.
A toque just fitting the shape of the
head in most becoming fashion may be
made in velvet, with feathers or other
style of garnitr1re. The boat shape has
come back to favor and has been adapted
to the mode of the moment, for the
crown is quite low and fat, but it turns
up becomingly at the side and is gener-
ally made in felt, with bows of velvet,
quilts and feathers. Ladies who do not
find the large hats becoming adopt small
bonnets, with strings that tie under the
chin.

He will walk with dignity, frmness and at

there is an undefnable air about him that

1.-THE house burglar does not.display out
wardly the same strength of character. He
possesses a combination of bank burglar
and the sneak thief, the latter largely pre-
dominating. He is generally clever on his
feet, and although rather small sized is
well knit. He is combination of the cat
and tiger. The stealthiness of the cat
helps him to get inside, and if there is dan
ger of capture the fierceness of the tiger as
serts itself, and he will kill.
''Dwelling house burglary at night should
be made capital offense, for the criminal,
although his primary intention was not
murder, is ready to commit murder to get
away. The pickpocket is a shuffling and
slouchy creature, barely lifting his feet

his brains and his feet are only to get him

1.-THE garroter has some of the character

| firmness and determination of the first class
burglar. The sneaking instinct helps him
to crawl upon his victim unawares, and the
determination of the burglar enables him

occasion requires he relapses into the sneak
thiefs manners and attitudes.
Every man carries about himself an at

In others they are nebulous, but still there
An over or greatly developed chin is an

are equally bad, because both are abnormal
