BUTTE, April 15.-Oficers Sinsel and
higgins had rather exciting time with q
couple of sneak thieves on the west side
this afternoon. Along towards the mid
die of the afternoon the residents of that
section noticed a couple of suspicious
characters calling at number of differ
ent houses, and their actions soon at
tracted attention. 1t was noticed that
when they found people at homo they in
CURED for some fictitious name. but when
their knocks were not responded to it was
noticed that they tried the doors and ex-
amined the windows and looked the sur
roundings over carefully. They made no
attempt to enter any of the houses farther
than TO try the doors, but their tough looks
and suspicious actions quickly led to the
belief that they were looking the ground
over preparatory to a midnight robbery.
i A messenger was sent after the police
and Officers higgins and Snsel re-
sponded. When the two suspects saw
them coming they took to their heels and
ran down into the old placer diggings, and
as they had a long start they might have
succeeded in making their escape had IL
not been for the thoughtfulness of one of
the officers in borrowing saddle horse
from a passer by, who willingly relin-
pushed the animal when the object was
explained to him. The officer on horse
back then galloped on ahead and headed
the srunaways off, while the other stood
guard over their rear. The crooks were
finally corraled and captured, but they
were both ugly and stubborn and refused
TO come out of deep hole in which they
had taken refuge until the officers drew
their guns and threatened to transform
them into sleeves of the latest pattern.
The fellows gave the names of James
Blake and Albert G.. DIETRICH, and they

Here during the summer months the

LACE MAKERS AT CAPE BRETON.
Mrs, Alexander Graham BelPs Interest
ing Experiment.

Baddeck in Nova Scotia was made
known to fame by Charles Dudley War
ners little book, and it is also known as
the summer home of of Prof Bell OF tele-
phone fame When Mrs. Bell came to
know the women about her she found
many of them the wives OF fishermen,
dependent for bread and butter on the
daily "catch," drawn from the uncertain
sea. In her desire to be of use, she
praised their bright-hued carpets, hand
woven, from gay woods, and bought SO
many of them that she and her friends
and her friends friends had more than
they could walk ON in two or three life
times. To develop this carpet-maklng
industry, to find a market for the products
and thus to supply an occupation that
should keep the older girls at home, in
stead of seeing them driven to the New
England towns for living. became with
her an absorbing consideration One OF
Mrs. Bells first practical steps was to
start a school for the little ones too young
for field tasks. With the help OF Mrs.
George KEENAN,, classes were formed,
somewhat after the kindergarten model.
AS the school grew in favor the mothers
of the children came also, whenever their
brief leisure would allow.
Knitting was favorite occupation, ana,
remembering the great revival OF the
lace industry among the Irish peasantry'
Airs Bell determined to introduce the
same thing into the small colony Mith
this plan In view she tried to get irish
teachers, offering salaries from her own
purse. as we'll as the expenses of the voy-
age. But nobody could be found to settle
among the fisherfolk of Cape Breton.
Still undaunted, Mrs. Bell got patterns
and teachers from Boston, and before
long the class in lace-making was IN 1llil
swing. So rapid was the progress OF the
Cape Breton girls that before long the
fineness and beauty of the designs more
than eoualled the original samples.
There is another difficulty to be met,
also. During the winter months the edu-
cation OF the children was at first cont1n-
ued by the older scholars, but owing to
the impossiiplities of obtaining employ
men at home, these one by one have gone
to look for places in the larger cities OF
the East, and paid teachers have peeh
engaged from Boston. The seeming i'm
possibility of making living at home mas
been Mrs. Bells Encouragement, as no
sooner are the children trained IN lace
making and various kinds neediewo1k,
with the view of educating the younger
ones in their turn, and by degrees creao-
ing a permanent industry, than necess-
ity compels their departure. In this way

Mr. Timberlake is reported as saying,
sit seems strange that those charges
have been brought against me at this
time. They were never heard OF before
and are misleading" The only charges
that have been brought against Mr..
Timberlake are those contained in an
opinion of the Supreme Court delivered
in 1859. That was six years ago. And
since that time that opinion has been in
plain type on pages 249 and $50 of the
S1st Maine Report. The PRESS simply
republished this opinion, and added no
charge or insinuation. What does Mr..
Undertake mean then when he says
these charges were never heard of before?
What does he mean also when he says
they are "misleading?" Does he intend
to insinuate that the court. misrepresented
the facts of the case?

around which is gathered heavy black
