The Bremen DesperadOes i'm Jail.
,necial To the Indiananolis Journal

SOUTH BEND, Ind, March ~20.-Sheriff
James Ebert and deputy Walter Finch went
to Bremen, Marshall county, this afternoon,
in response to a telegram announcing the
capture of a gang of robbers who held up
Jacob Miller, a farmer, in a saloon at Lit
Teton, this county, yesterday afternoon,
with six men, who gave their names as
Charles Cooper, Fred Prior, Joseph Boil,
William Davis, Charles Wilson and Daniel
Hamilton. There were eight in the crowd
when the robbery was committed. The six
were captured in and about Bremen after
a desperate fight, in which Marshal Kauf-
eral others were narrowly missed. Two
men are still at large. One of them was
found in a wounded condition at Lakeville,
ten miles south of here, and brought to
this city by a constable, who knew nothing
of the fight. The man was taken to the
hospital, and soon after walked away. The
six men in custody will probably have a
hearing Tomorrow.

SAD LEE OF A BEAUTY.

The Countess of Dudley Devoted Wife to
! Repulsive Husband.
Georgina, countess of Dudley, enjoys
the we'll deserved reputation of being
not only one of the most beautiful ma
irons in London society, but also one of
the kindest and most warm hearted of
the great ladies of Mayfair. She is de-
voted mother and deserves a great
amount Of credit for the manner in
which she has brought up her children
and for the devoted care and loyalty
which she manifested to her eccentric
husband. Until his death her existence
was little better than a martyrdom,
which she bore with the most exemplary
patience and fortitude The late earl
was many years her senior and the re-
verse of handsome, in addition to which
he in many matters was entirely insane,
having inherited his madness from his
father. All this would have caused
many mother to hesitate before even
permitting her daughter to wed such a
man, but Lady Dudley's mother, Lady
Louisa Moncrieffe, dazzled by the earl 5
income of over So, 600, 600 year, forced
her lovely daughter to bind herself to
him.
The contrast between the beautiful
woman and the almost repulsive look
ing husband who was her constant COM
panion was so startling that it drew
forth the hackneyed exclamation Of
beauty and the beast" wherever they
went Had Lord Dudley been less
wealthy he would inevitably have been
confined in madhouse, but even dur
ing the closing years Of his life Lady
Dudley never permitted him to be con-
sidered as insane, although he seldom
experienced lucid moments. Lady Dud-
ley was the second wife of the late earl
and has seven children, six sons and one
daughter -Philadelphia Press.

BOOTS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
The Trade Badly Affected by the Increase,
Yyraar nf ct,cas


The diminished use Of boots is a mat
ter of concern to the manufacturers Of
them and to the producers Of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was a
leading one in New England.
Whole towns were studded with fac
tories which produced calf boots exclu-
sively. For decade the sale has been
gradually falling off, and today it is of
hardly any Importance.
A few manufacturers of shoes include
boots as speciality, but the demand is
too light to amount to much. When
calf boots were more in vogue, manu-
facturers consulted the partialities Of
the cowboys, to whom price was q Sec
ondary consideration.
The legs were frequently corded with
silk stitching. The star and crescent
and other fanciful ornamentations were
inlaid on the legs of tho boots. The
soles were inlaid with copper, zinc and
brass nails. The cowboys no longer pay
SIS or $40 for pair of boots. They
want substance instead Of show But
they were not the only wearers Of calf
boots. They were extensively worn.
Many men prefer them today, though
the number is growing less. The old
fashioned stoga boots were formerly
sold i'll large quantities. They are we'll
nigh obsolete. There followed demand
for lighter and more stylish article.
A kip boot of lighter texture was pro-
duced about equal in appearance to the
best calf boot, but this, too, has fallen
somewhat into disuse. Where there
were 20 factories producing boots ex-
clusively, there il now but one. Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in
stead of boots, and if it becomes a ne
cessity to wear long legged boots they
buy rubbers
Twenty years ago the entire product
of Salem and Peabody was heavy boots
and brogan leather. Today there are
less than half dozen tanners making
it. Brogans and plowshares are indis-
pensable in many sections Of country,
but there are comparatively few exclu-
sive manufacturers Of these now.
The Creedmore, Dom Pedro, English
ties and creole congress are supplanting
them. The decline i'll the consumption
Of calf boots affects the tanners Of calf
skins. 1t is question what is to be
done with heavy skins The tanners
must necessarily buy more or less of
them. They cannot select light and me-
dunn weights exclusively, and if they
tan them they feel no certainty of be-
ing able to dispose Of them in the fin
ished state. There is nevertheless a use
in this world for whatever is good for
anything, and there viii be some way
of disposing Of heavy calfskins, though
for the moment it appears difficult to
point out the direction into which they
will be moved. Shoe and Leather Re

The PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
How Were They Reared and How Was
the Material Gathered9

hhc haAbcHAAi NrdLHcEtu1
The pyramids Of Egypt. for long and
to this day included among the worlds
wonders, are to DO regarded as marvel
ous triumphs Of mechanical skill. OF
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley, some Of brick, some Of stone
and of varied height The two largest
are in the neighborhood Of Cairo. They
are and have been for thousands Of
years the most colossal monuments in
the world.
The largest, that Of Cheops, in its
original state is said to have been 800
feet high and the length Of its base on
each side the same 1t il built Of huge
stones ranging from to feet il
height. II is now rugged and has the
character as we'll as the appearance Of a
four sided great stairway. The hollows
between the steps are believed to have
been filed in with white marble, which
would shine like snow under the bright
Egyptian sun. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than 500 feet 1t is generally admitted
that the pyramids were built for tombs
and on certain astronomical principles
There Is an inner chamber where the
sarcophagus was placed When mon
arch began to reign, he commenced to
build his tomb. When he died, his body
was placed III the sacred chamber pre-
pared for it, and the opening which led
to it was closed The pyramid was
then completed. If the monarch s reign
was long, the pyramid was large. If
short, the pyramid was small.
How thosa great structures were
reared-how the huge masses were
brought together and put in their places
is question which has never been
satisfactorily answered. OF mechanical

Fight Between Bull and Alligator

I heard an interesting story of a fight
between an alligator and big bull on
the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Alliga-
tors are quite numerous in that lake, and
it is little visited by white men, though
Seminole Indians fish and hunt there
Herds of cattle roam about through that
section of the state, and the bull in
question belonged to one of these herds.
1t was drinking at a small inlet on this
lake when its nose was caught by an al
hgator. The bull managed to free itself
by pulling the gator partly out Of the
water. 1t then lowered its horns and
caught the gator, throwing it on the
bank. When the bull made another at
tack, the alligator struck the bull with
its tail and severely hurt it, The bull
managed to tear hole i'll the abdomen
or soft spot Of the gator, but on anoth-
er charge the gator broke one Of the
legs of the bull by blow from its tail
This disabled the bull, and the gator
managed to break another leg in the
same way, but the saurian soon bled to
death, and the bull, when found with
its two broken legs, had to be shot

1t Is Served Steaming Hot.
There is dish dear to every Prus-
SLAMS heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know it, as it is not
made in south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre-
dient. but it plays an important part in
the makeup
The dish is known as beerfish, and
the German carp, praised of epicures, is
herein treated in manner worthy of
the fish 1t must be made with half
beer, or, in the absence Of this, with
weiss beer and porter The fish is cut,
not in half, like shad. but i'll sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. Of
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer Of
large onions is placed on the bottom of
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then layer Of a substance call
ed fish pfefferkuchen, which has more
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then a layer Of sliced
lemon; then carp. This is repeated until
the pot is full.
/, A layer Of onions is placed Oh top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the interstices are filled. 1t is cook
ed for 20 minutes over a slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful Of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beerfish Is delicious
when it is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities d. not end
here. for after it is cold it offers allure
ments which make it hard to decide
which way it tastes better, hot or cold.
