In Pat Quinlan's private rooms
were found two trunks of the thea tri-
cal type, one being purchased from
Meeks in Denver. On both trunks
were the initials IN. r. W. These
letters had been painted over. The
initials are those Of Minnie r. Will
Jams. Pat Quinlan stated after his
being taken into custody that both Of
the trunks belonged to him. De-
tectives Norton and Fitzpatrick have
now the truth that both trunks be-
longed to Minnie Williams. Quinlan
will be confronted with this evidence.
He will also be faced with books
found in his possession and which
Belonged to Minnie Williams
| There are magazines bearing date as
late as April 1894, demonstrating
that Minnie Williams was alive at
that time. The fact that one Of her
trunks was bought in Denver is ex-
planned by the information secured
by Chief Badenoch that after she
entered the employ of Holmes and
finally left Chicago, she entered the
theatrical business in Denver.
Chief Badenoch believes all this ev-
idence to be the most important Of
any save the partial confession of
Mr.. and Mrs. Quinlan that has yet
been secured. The inference drawn
by the officers from the trail of blood
which was discovered was that blood
being human came from some per
son who was killed in the dark cham
Der, dragged from there to the trap
door, thence down the secret stair
way to the basement underneath.

The CommendabIe Ambition of an Indian
Soldier.
Gen. Sir Hope Grant, in his narrative
of the Indian mutiny, relates an anec-
dote which does equal honor to himself
and one of his native soldiers The
British had been fighting all day, driv-
ing the rebels before them, After
nightfall, however, party OF rebels
made a new demonstration, and Gen.
Grant, seeing two of his guns in dan
ger, collected few men and charged
He says:
"a sepoy within five yards of me
fired at my horse and put bullet
through his body. 1t was singular he
did not aim at me, but probably he
thought it best to make sure of killing
the horse, after which the rider would
fall into his hands as a matter OF
course.
Il felt that my poor charger had re-
ceived his death-wound, yet he gal
Hoped on for forty yards through the

was in an awkward predicament-un-
horsed, surrounded by the enemy, and,
owing to the darkness, ignorant in
which direction to proceed-when my
orderly, a native horseman, Roper
Kahn by name, rode up to me and said:
Take my horse; it is your only chance
of safety
Il could not but admire his fine con-
duct. He was Hindostanee Mussul'
man, belonging to a regiment the
greater part of which had mutinied
and it would have been easy for him to
kill me and go over to the enemy.
Il refused his offer, but, taking a
firm grasp of his horses tail, 1 told him
to drag me out of the crowd. This he
did successfully and with great cour
age.

behavior and offered him some little
money. He declined it with great dig

TIPS FROM THE EARS.
A Yung Lady of Observation Says There
Is Much Character in Them.

l don't know whether there is any
such science as aurology, said young
lady of observation recently, but I find
it very safe and useful thing to take
note of my friends ears. haven't yet
got so far in my studies as to formulate
a fixed set of rules for the reading of
character by the size, shape and con-
volutions of these little head handles
of ours; in fact, my studies have been
directed to one point-the top or apex
of the ear. There's whole world of
tell-tale indications there, and it would
be a good thing if young girls were to
form the habit of casting a glance at
the anatomy of their callers and ad-
mirers, and make a mental note for
their own guidance by what they see
there.
If the top of the ear lies close to the
head and the ridge is straight or only
gently rounded the young man that
owns that kind of ear may be counted
on as being eminently proper and as
harmless as a lamb. But if the top
starts away from the head at a we'll
defined angle and runs up toa point be-
fore turning down to become the back
ridge Of the ear-well, that young man
had better be kept at a good safe dis
lance That's the faun ear, and when
those wise old Greeks and Romans gave
to the capering companions of the
nymphs of the woods goat legs an6
goat ears they knew what they were
about. Men haven't changed one whit
either, and that point of the ear is JUS
as full of character and warning to-day
as it was when Bacchus was doing bust
ness at the old sign of THE Rollickins
| Rams"
