the young household had to face the
bitter want of insufficient means; ans,
at all event. there Is no reason for
such an inquiry now. The marriage
has been exceptionally happy and salts
factory; the:e is not happler-as there
is not purer-home in England than
that which thus, in storm and stress,
began so many years ago; and besides,
to the necessities which such a marriage
and his position as younger son Gre
ated, Lord Salisbury owes probably his
present position more than to any other
influence in his life.
For it was as writer in the Saturday
Review that Lord Salisbury learnt the
great doctrine of struggle and of work.
Mr.. Beresford Hope, who founded that
journal-and expended upon it and
upon churches vast portion of his
patrimony-was his brother-in-law; and
thus the young writer found a ready
made place for his pen. The character
of the Saturday Review in it's early
years must have come largely from
Lord Salisbury. The Saturday Review
gave Lord Salisbury bread; and he him
self was ready to say so many years af-
terward, when-having reached the
great position of foreign secretary in an
hour of national crisis-he presided
over less fortunate members of the
journalistic profession

In the attempt on the Mlddleburg

Shlnburn fled twenty years ago from
this country, carrying away half mil
lion dollars in plumber. 1t now appears
that three years ago he quietly returned
to his original field Of operations, organ
lied a new band Of burglars, and went
to work. All Of the recent bank rob-
berries are now attributed by the de-
tectlves to the skill and generalship Of
Shinburn, and a vast amount Of evil

mice in sort of treadmill apparatus.
The proprietor Of the store, who is an
ingenious German of an inventive turn
of mind, planned and invented the ma
chine himself, and as it was built on a
small scale to fit the space available, it
could not be operated by steam power,
so he conceived the idea of training the
mice and having them do the work,
The little register fastened on one side
of the machine shows that the mice
daily perform work equivalent to trav-
cling ten and one-half miles.

He Had tho Interest OF His Congregation

The minister of a congregation in an
agricultural district was greatly am
noyed Sunday after Sunday by the un.
ruly conduct of the junior members Of
his flock. When one of the younger
representatives of the gentler sex got
weary of the evening services she would
invariably rise and go out, A moment
later her admirer would seize his hat
and sheepishly follow her To such an
extent would this course of action pre-
vail that by the time the discourse was
finished only the old people remained
for the conclusion of the service. Mr..
Jones concealed his chargin for several
weeks, but at last he firmly resolved to

went out last is not the one you wish
to walk home with. When she goes !

The minister resumed his discourse.
There was much tittering and consider

indicating that his is the genius which
substituted nitro-glycerlne for the safe
breaking appliances Of earlier date.
BILLY" Maher, one Of Shinburn's
early companions, who operated with
him in the sixties, was arrested by de-
tectives and Post Office Inspector
Jacobs on June s, charged with robbing
the Post Office at Rochester, N. H. He
was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Shields and committed to
the custody Of the Post Office officials
for trial. This arrest, coupled with
partial confession by the prisoner, gave
the first intimatlon of Shinburn's pres"
ence in the country, and of his probable
operations.
The detectives, acting under orders
from the American Bankers Associa-
ton, have for two years been striving to
apprehend the leader Of this new band

then clustered in Broadway, between
Canal and Houston streets. He first
attracted the attention of the police as
a rambler Of remarkable nerve and
seemingly inexhaustible purse. At that
time his intimate associates We're men,
then famous as burglars, who met
nightly at the sporting resorts in Hous-
ton, Prince and Canal streets.
The professional criminals, among
whom he rapidly gained influence, were
George Miles, alias George Bliss; Ed
ward, alias Fairy Mcclure; Dave"
Bartlett; Charley Billiard, alias Piano
Charley" ike" Marsh, alias big Ike;
Adam Worth, alias Little Adam;
Daniel Dixon Noble; BIB John" Brady;
Gus" Fisher; Ned" Lyons; sam
Ferris, alias wooster Sam; Bob"
Cochrane, alias big Bob; Rory Sim
mis-; BILLY" Maher; Peter Curley;
Sand" Mccormick, Jesse and Martin
Allen, William McDavid and Dave
Cummings.
Every one Of these men, all subse-
quently under Shinburn's leadership,
made a conspicuous record at sate
breaking, but George Bliss and Fairy"
Mcclure were consplcuously prominent
as "Heutenants" of the band. AS conf-
dental agent for the negotiation or
stolen securities Shinburn selected a
bright young Englishman, who was at
the time interested in several gambling
houses and kindred ventures.
Thus equipped, Shinburn opened his
campaign of crime. Within ten years
the leaders share in the booty amounted
to S5OO,O0O Great was his mechanical as
we'll as executive ability.
In order to perfect his knowledge OF
the combination locks and the working
of safes Shinburn for some time took
EMPLOYMENT under an assumed name in
the works Of the Lilly Safe Company.
In 1866 the LRay safes and vaults were
considered among the best and most Sc
cure, and had an extensive sale throuGh-
out the United States.
The combinations made at that time
were not as perfect as they are to-day
and Shinburn discovered that person
with acute hearing could, by putting
his ear to the safe and turning the dial,
detect the numbers which threw the
tumblers into place.

suspicion that Shinburn's band has
operated In a majority Of these cases.
Under a dozen aliases and over q
period Of thirty years he has stolen
millions, evaded countless pursuits,
broken out of a dozen PRISONS lived in
luxury, purchased a foreign title, en-
gineered the greatest robberies of the
age and fairly won the title Of the CEN
tury's greatest thief
So say the heads of the detective
agency who have followed Shinburns
wonderful career for many years and
were defeated in their efforts to captuBe
him by his remarkable nerve, skill and
generalship.
Shinburn is a German by birth and re-
ceived a collegiate education in his ma
tive land. He first appeared in New
York in 1860, and at once became a
patron Of the best hotels in the city,

Vegetation.

A very remarkable illustration of
the benign and wholesome influence Of
vegetation on climates has recently
been supplied by the French in AL
geria. They had planted some mil
lions of eucalyptus trees in that colony,
with the result that these have absorb
ed all the stagnant impurities hitherto
prevailing, and had tended to purify
both the earth and the air.

To this day one can see traces Of this
period. 1t s perhaps, as much a result
OF this form Of training as OF temper
ament, that the dispatches and the
speeches Of Lord Salisbury sacrifice 80
much to style, regard eplgrams as
harmless luxurles Of writing and the
neat colocatlon OF eplthets as more I'M

which elected from Mr.. John Morley

hall that in Alpine heights the deadly
avalanche, which brought death and
desolatlor to the quiet villagers below

sound Of a human voice was enough to

whether, with such terrible forces In
such dread tension existing around us

RALEIGH, N. c., May 16.-The State
supreme court this evening fled de-

legislature elected Charles Cook Judge
OF the new criminal court 1t had
created, but his election occurred three
days prior to the ratification of the act,
and Governor Carr on the last day of
the legislative session appointed Oliver

missioned and took the oath and began
holding courts. Cook was also sworn
In by an associate Justice Of the

The supreme court decides in Meares'
favor saying no election is valid to fill
an office before the latter is created and
that the ratification Is the essential
part OF the creation.

the case of Emma Hall, whose death in

result OF trouble growing out Of her
relations with Rev. Jonathan Bell. The
full text OF these letters was secured at
the Old Bailey by the representative of

The letters therein mentioned were one
from Emma Hall in Leeds to her cousin,
Jos. Hall, dated October 81, in which
she confesses her trouble but does not
name the author of 1t; one from Emma
Hall addressed to Rev. Mr.. Ball, in Bos-

which she informs him that she had
sent word to her parents, telling them
what was the matter with her, in which
she also informs him that his name has
not crossed her lips. adding: ~ know

The very wise Hazlitt says: Fashion
constantly begins and ends in the two
things it most abhors-singularitya and vul-
garity 1t is the perpetual setting up and
ever disowning n certain standard of taste,
elegance and refinement, which has no
other formation or authority than that it
is the prevailing distraction of the mo-
mcnt, which was yesterday ridiculous
from its being new, and tomorrow will be
odious from its being common"
To DO well dressed one must know just
what fashion to take up, just when to
drop it (and fashion includes moro than
clothcs) and, last, must have the intui-
tiveness that always diyines the appropriate
costume for n particular occasion. Hap
PLY, the tendency in dress for the coming
decade is toward this sensible and simple
end
