REFORMING A PICKPOOKET.
He OvercEme His Propensities Till the Cold
Snap Came.

Snap Came.
Professor Starr of the anthropological
department of the Chicago university took
from the streets, for experiment. a l5-year-
old pickpockat of recognized ability in his
profession He was known to his friends
as Skinny. The professors purpose was
to study the effect of isolating this young
criminal from his criminal surroundings
and TO observe the moral influence of his
new environment. The boy went to live
at the professors house. He shared his
walks, he read to him. and he was in
trusted with responsibilities of minor
character. He accompanied his patron to
Mexico for research in prehistoric ruins
He was his constant companion.
Ono thing to which the boy was found
to be noticeably sensitive was cold. When
the weather was cold, he became very nerv
Gus, and the professor could see in such
times the suggestion of a laundering for
his old life In this recent cold snap the
crisis came. One night while the Their
mOmetcr was particularly low the boys
moral resistance broke down, and during
the night, while the professor slept, his old
spirit returned in full force, and he stole
silver, jewelry and money and fled
The boy and plumber were recovered, and
the former gave every evidence of being
actually penitent He showed desire TO
commit suicide. But the professor secured
his release and has taken him back into
his house. and the experiment of further
isolation of this young criminal born and
Bred will continue, probably with stronger
hopes of his ultimate regeneration than
were entertained when he was originally
picked out of the streets. The indicated
combination of heat and crime calls for
further study

OLEVELAND'S MEMORY.

He Corrects n Quotation From TennyBon
In n Letter to Secretary Morton.
President Cleveland has remarkable
memory for poetry. The president detect
ed an error in the quotation given by Em-
bassador Bayard in letter to Secretary
Morton transmitting New Years gift of
an antique punch ladle. The quotation
as given by Mr.. Bayard was as follows;
Ever since the years began,
Till they be gathered up,
The wit that plies the flowing can
Still haunts the vacant cup.
The president declared that the word
wit should be truth" but neither he
nor Secretary Morton was able to remem-
Der the authorship of the lines. Librarian
SpoiTord and LOwdermilk, the antiquarian
book dealer were appealed to for informa-
ton on this score, but in vain. No ono
was able to ascertain the origin of the
verse Charles Z. Holstein of indianapolis
took the article to James Whitcomb Riley
and asked him if he knew anything about
the poetry which had puzzled the president
and various members of the cabinet in
Washington.
why, that's from Tennyson, said Mr..
Riley very promptly. 1T is to be found
in Willie Watorproof's Lyrical Mono
logue, " and in proof of his assertion Mr..
Riley picked up volume of Tennyson and
pointed to the quotation. 1t was then dis
covered that the president had been right
about Mr.. Bayard's mistake. Tcnnyson
lid write, 1.-The truth that plies the flow
ing can, " instead of 1.-THE wit" Mr. Hol-
stein wrote a letter to the president con-
2erning his discovery, and Mr.. Cleveland
was much pleased to find that his memory
had not failed him. AS soon as he was put
in possession of the name of the author
number of other verses from willie Wa
terproof's Monologue' came into the pres
ident's mind, and he repeated them to
Secretary Morton without break, al
though he had not read Tcnnyson for more
than 90 years. -Chi"ago Times Herald.

and had not several officers from this side

would now probably be in bed under the

men who spend much time about the
streets of "Foggy Bottom" were ordered
to break up their alleged disorderly gath
ering, and 1t became necessary for the
officer to make an arrest. James Hickey
was the one arrested, and he resisted ar
rest to the extent that the officer was
kicked several times, but he was not badly
disabled, for he was able to appear in
court this morning to prosecute the case.
The prisoner was charged with assault,
but he demanded a jury trial, and the
case went over.

night at the Church of Our Father before
a large and deeply interested audience.
The illustrations were taken principally
from Hoffman's pictures, which, as stated
by the speaker, Rev. DR.. Rogers, depict a
Christ of a more hopeful and joyous nature
than the great majority of representations
of him. The scenes were from the early
ministry of Christ and were striking Illus
trations of the genius of this artist for life
like and sympathetic expression. A graphic
description of each scene was given by the
preacher and it's lesson forcibly drawn.
