RUINED ~ PIE.

Lose for 1Als Pastry BaxTed HIN Oet a.
the Pn1pat and Drove Him - Forgery.
A most singnlar case is now in the
courts at Kingston, In this state. A
young man living there was lately
found to be . forger, and when he con-
fessed he said he was driven to the
crime by an ungovernable gluttony for
mince pie. To satisfy his craving he
had forged the signature of afwealthy
man to note for one thousand dollars.
and had got the paper discounted, says
the Buffalo Courier. With the proceeds
he went on mince-pie spree, and had
devoured sixty dollars worth Of this
pastry before he was arrested.
According to his story his extraordi-
nary liking for mince pie began to
show itself when he was . boy. He
seemed even then to feel that there
was something abnormal in his appe-
tite, for he went voluntarily to Bloom
ingdale asylum in the hope Of being
cured Of his gluttony. After he came
out he believed he was cured and be-
gan to study for the ministry. But
in fatal hour, about two years later,
the mania for pie came upon him
with irresistible power. He broke
into the housekeeper's closet in the
Auburn Theological seminary, where
he was student, and gorgcd himself
with mince pie. His relapse SO preyed
upon him that he went to the faculty,
and they advised him, he says, to drop
his studies, as it would be det-
k41 - al
ing for him to enter it with
such fatal appetite for fnince pie. He
would be likely to suffer a seizure Of his
mania at supper in the church parlors
or at the table of one of his flock, and
create an unforgetable scandal. He
took the advice of the faculty and
went to peddling clothes-wringers and
bed springs, but his malady was now
so deep seated that he subordinated
everything to his craving. He devel-
oped an unusual cunning for stealing
mince pie, or in getting the money
with which to purchase it. II would
be tempted, y said he, ''and fall; go to q
restaurant and eat q pie and a half or
two pies. became as helpless a VIC
tim to the mince pie habit as the drunk
ard is to the drink habit. Sometimes l
have pawned my overcoat or my watch
when have seen an uncommonly
luscious pie in window and have not
had enough ready money to buy it,"
Then came the forging of the note
and the pie orgy W hich ended in his ar
rest. After hearing his story COM
mission was appointed to inquire into
his sanity, and it is likely that, in
stead of being sent to penitentiary,
he will be placed in lunatic asylum.
He is described as thin, nervous-look-
ing man with wild expression, which
is disappointing, for many a man Of
New England ancestry would be glad
to cultivate this lunacy if it would not
spoil his complexion and keep him
awake nights.

FACTS ABOUT DAILY PAPERS.


A Deeady lnweaee Rspsasoa - 3heaF 1am-
bsr IN This Countzy.
The latest newspaper directories
show that there has been an increase
every year since 1877 in the number Of
daily publications issued In the United
States. On the other hand, says the
Cleveland Leader, the number Of tri-
weekliea has now fallen to one-third OF
what it was as far back a. 1so0. There
has been gradual increase in the NUM-
Der of publications ISSUED semiweek-
ly, and the weekly papers have also
increased, though slowly Of late. There
are fewer biweekly and semimonthly
publications now than there were flvs
years ago, all Of these statements, It
should be explained, applying to tho
United States and Canada.
There was q great increase in the
number of publications issued monthly,
between 1870 and 1891, but now there
are fewer of these than in 1899 and 1893.
The increase over last year is small.
There has been decided decrease in
the number of biynonthlies since 1891,
and the quarterlies have also become
less numerous than they were in 1892,
1898 or 1894. The dailies alone have
not failed to grow in numbers every
year since 1877. Fewer publications
were issued weekly in 1899 than in
1891, and since then there has been q
loss, one year or more than one, in all
kinds of periodicals except the daily
paper. The figures for every class, as
given in the Rowen directory for 1895,
which is just out, are as follows:
Dailies, 2,05O; triweeklies, 30; semi
weeklies, 321; weeklies, 1896; biweek-
lies and semimonthlies, 1856; monthlies,
2,676; bimonthlies, 55; quarterlies, 1s3
The relatively greater and more con-
stant growth of the daily papers, a.
compared with other, classes of period
icals, means that the American people
are more and more hungry for the
latest intelligence of the worlds doings,
and that the eagerness of the nation to
keep in the very front of progress il
more marked than ever before. The
improvements lately made in the tele-
graph, the telephone and railroad serv-
ice have served the daily papers well,
and they have made the most of their
opportunities. More and more they are
becoming the typical American period
ical, more popular and more powerful
than any other. The indications are
that. in the future their relative multi
plication and development will show,
even more than it has in the past. their
superior vitality and the leaning Of the
American people to the paper which is
never belated and never out of date.
In the age of electricity the period
icals of less frequent issue than the
daily paper, great, beautiful and popu-
lar as many of them are, can hardly
hold their own, relatively speaking,
against the publications which are full
of the nervous energy, the freshness
and the terse strength of the telegraph.

a WOMAN DEPUTY SHERIFF.


San Frsncisco's Very Interesting O1ncsr
Of the Law.
San Francisco, being progressive
town, boasts of a woman deputy sheriff.
She is Miss May Simpson, and it is said
that she manages the duties of her
unique position with great skill. She
is young woman, and she says she
has never seen anything OF which she
was afraid. The dark, ghostc, bur
glars, drunken people and the insane
have no terrors for her. Horses, dogs,
mice and even the fercer animals that
men themselves have no longing to
fondle, are nothing to her.
Miss Simpsons work consists mainly
in escorting women who have been
adjudged insane to their asylums. She
has theory of her own as to how in
sane people should be treated, and her
ideas have stood successfully the time
test. She believes in kindness, COM
bined with firmness and absolute fear
lessness.
The salary connected with the some
what difficult position is in no sense
large. 1t is like the pondmaster's
wages-no dogs, no pay. The woman
deputy is paid by the piece-two dollars
and fifty cents for every trip. If no
women are committed there is no pay,
and the deputy goes home and awaits
the next session of court. The most she
has ever made was forty dollars in one
month, and sometimes there are as few
as six cases in month-that is, fifteen
dollars. It isn't exactly princely in
come for taking ones life in ones hands
every day or so.
There is nothing about the woman
deputy to attract attention, except the
novelty of her position. She is young
- considerably under twenty-five -
dresses in dark, stylish clothes. is unob-
trusive in her manners, and has pref
ty face, with dark curly hair, gray eyes
and a brilliant complexion that tells
Of long hours of dreamless sleep, un-
troubled by the faintest suspicion Of
scenes of the Jane Eyre type.
The men about the sheriff's Office
treat her courteously, as they would
another man whom they respected
They don't try to do her work for her.
She wouldn't like that, but they treat
her as she treats them, with a business
like courtesy that is refreshing.

YOUNG MEN IN THE SENATE
More Numerous Now Than In the Days Of
Zach Chandler.

More Numerous Now Than In the Days Of
Zach Chandler.
At the time Zach Chandler was first
a member of the senate he was one of
the youngest members of that body.
Besides having youthful appearance,
a.. ciae other men seemed quite old to
him. On the last day of the first term
of Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon,
Chandler and he sat in the barber shop
and chatted about events Of the sesslon.
and finally Chandler began talking
about his earlier career, says the Wash
ington Star.
"When went to Detroit" he said,
''there were not more than fifty houses
in the place. Now it has become one
of the leading cities in the west
Michigan was q territory, and we had
some pretty hard times there, but I
stuck to it, and have been rather sue
ccssful. Why" he added, rather proud
~, II was elected to the senate when l
was forty-four years old"
s'That's nothing" aswered Senator
Mitchell, laconically.
''Nothing!" exclaimed Chandler.
! "Well, consider it great deal to have
been elected to the United States
senate at forty-four."
.'Wen, /" replied Mitchell, quietly, II
have served six years in the senate and
am not forty-f0ur yet"
II give it up" responded Chandler.
"You have the best of me. The further
west we 60 the more push we have"
Senator Mitchell is still q young
looking man, yet there is only one man
in the senate who was q senator when
he was first sworn in who has served
continuously. That is Senator Morrill,.
of Vermont. Sherman, Of Ohio, and
Stewart, OF Nevada, were members Of
the senate at the time Senator Mitchell
was elected, but both have been out.
Senator Sherman a. secretary of the
treasury Tor four years, and Senator
Stewart six years, while another man
represented Nevada. Senator Mitchell'a

six years he was defeated. . democratic

years later he was again elected, and
has since been reelected.

THE eALTlc SHIP CANAL.

How It win Mako and Unnake Various
European Ports.
Germany does well to make the
formal opening Of the great Baltic
ship canal ceremonial affair of the
first magnitude, says the London Re
view. When ships of the largest bur-
den can pass by protected short cut of
sixty miles length from the North sea
to the Baltic the ugliest as well as the
oldest problem of north European nav
igation will have been solved. Incl
dentally it will destroy what little re-
mains of Denmark's commercial inn
portance.
Copenhagen has endeavored to fore
stall disaster by making itself into q
free port and spending large sums OF
money upon dock and harbor improve
ments; but. we fear, all in vain. 1t is
incredible that any shipping will here
after be sent into Danish waters, to
round the tiresome Jutland peninsula
and brave the dangers Of the treacher-
GUS passage of the sound, which can
take advantage Of the shorter and en-
tirely safe route across Holstein.
Where the commercial supremacy OF
the Baltic will rescttlc itself when once
It quits Copenhagen IS not clear. Ham
burg is very confident about It's own
succession to these rich honors. An
cient Lubbock Is projecting an Elbe-
Trave canal, by means Of which shc
hopes to divert the increased traffic and
wealth to herself.

A GREAT TlMEPIEcE.
A Watch That Has Run Since 1884 ~
Is Still Good Timepiece.

A Watch That Has Run Since 1884 and
LIS Still Good Timepiece.
Judge Frederick w. Moore, of the
superior court, is the possessor OF an
heirloom in the shape of watch that
no amount of money would buy, says
the st. Louis Republic. And, besides
its value as an heirloom, it has a his.
toric interest.
The timepiece is Of the open-face
bulls-eye pattern. As with all old
style watches of the pattern mem
toned, the outer case must be removed
before it can be wound. The outer
case of this watch is of hammered
gold, and ell the work on it was done
BY hand. While this is apparent from
the workmanship, it is further proved
by the date on the inside, which is
1854. There is an inscription on the
inside as follows: Daniel De st. Leu,
Servant to Her Majesty, London" Her
majesty then was the queen OF George
H., the then reigning king OF England.
The authentic history Of this valu-
able timep;ece is this: In the years pre-
cetling 1854 William Augustus, duke Of
Cumberland, the second son of George
H., was tie commander Of the British
armies. In the Scottish campaigns and
in the campaigns against the Prussians
and the Russians, and when he was at
the head OF the British, Hanover:an
and Danish forces of tlfty thousand
men, DR.. Frederick William Scirwartze,

It affords the pioneer women cyclers
no little amusement and satisfaction to
recall the davs when bicvcle manufac-
turers, in reply to requests for women's
wheels, would say with emphasis:
ssWe have never manufactured wom-
ans wheel and we never will" In
those early days OF wheeling, bicycles
for American women were imported
from England. One woman who had
never seen a bicycle, but had read OF
them and was possessed of the true
wheeling spirit, bought one OF these
cumbrous machines. It had wheels
thirty inches high, weighed over fifty
pounds, had a solid tire and cost one
hundred and forty dollars. The first
ride of the owner upon this ma chime Of
solid weight and worth covered ten
miles, and produced sprained ankle,
a black eye aud an entirely demolished
gown. The riders spirit was unbrolen,
however, and, after rest of two
weeks, she mounted again and rode to
victory. In these days of teachers,
trainers and countless com Portable ap-
pliances, it is refreshing to know OF
these Spartan achievements.
While many women ride diamond
frames and an increased number will
doubtless continue to do so, the radical
differences between mans wheel and
woman's will always be the drop
frame. When the bicycle is regarded
simply as vehicle and not Us toy or
machine for display, the majority of
women will probably wear skirts. A
short skirt Of sensible length avoids the
actual danger OF entanglement in chain
or pedals. Still the inventor who can
find any method Of placing the chain
under cover in drop frame, without
adding to the weight Of the wheel, will
meet sslong-felt want" Along this
line the especial development Of the
woman's machine must come.
