AFTER ABDALLAH STAMINA
Warrant Sworn Out for His Arrest by
AbdaIlah Karssa for Grand
Larceny.

Abdallah Karssa, a Turkish merchant,
swore out warrant in Judge Campbell s
court yesterday for the arrest of Abdallah
Stamina, on the charge of grand larceny.
Karssa said he was in butchers shop
on April 8 along with Stamina. He placed
his pocket-book on the counter while he
wrote letter. After he had finished
writing Stamina had disappeared, and on
examining his pocket-book he found that
three certificates of deposit with the First
National Bank, aggregating $3.50, had been
stolen from it. He Immediately notified
the bank and inserted an advertisement
for the recovery OF the certificates.
He has since discovered that Stamina
sent the certificates to Victoria, B. G.
There his name was forged on the back OF
the certificates and they were also indorsed
by Abraham Rahy, and sent here by Rahy
through the Bank of British Columbia for
collection. When they were presented at
the First National Bank, where their pay
ment had been stopped, the forgery was
discovered.
The certificates were claimed by q

Importance of Acetylene.

So much has been said concerning the
new substance known as acetylene in it's
recently evolved form and relations in re-
spect to gas and allied industries that,
taking the statement of Professor " B.
Lewis as authority, the Importance of the
article may be explained as due, briefly, to
the reduction to it by the baking action of
the fame of all the remaining hydrocar-
bons present in coal gas. 1t is the acety-
lene which provides the luminiferous flame
with those carbon articles which, being
heated to incandescence by various causes.
endow the flame with power of emitting
light. The gas being thus the cause of
luminosity is naturally the most powerful
of the gaseous hydrocarbon illuminants;
owing. however, to its intense richness. it
can be consumed only in small, fat burn
ers, but under these conditions it emits a
light greater than that given by any other
known gas, its illuminated vaiue-calcu-
lated to a consumption of FIVE cubic feet
an hour-being rated at no less than 240
candles.-New York Sun.

BOOKS THAT BREED CRIME.
Some Of the GIamor and Romance
Dispelled From a Very Prosaic
Occupation.

William A. Pinkerton of detective fame
is at the Palace Hotel with his nephew,
Allan Pinkerton. They are on this coast
for the pleasure there is in it.
A glance at the detective would dlspel
the glamor and romance bestowed upon
him by small boys who associate him with
the sleuths created by one Munroe, the
man whose chief occupation it is to place
between yellow covers various tales of
blood, consecutive murders by the same
man, hair-breadth escapes and the final
rescue by the long-haired woman, who is
the renegade daughter of an ex-army
scout. There is woven around it all tale
of lingering love which entwines the prime
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-19

ch haracters and makes them one when all
the cartridges have run out and the hero
is made superintendent of transconti-
mental railroad.
Mr.. Pinkerton was inclined to go into
the commonplace of his occupation yester-
day afternoon.
.sMy occupation" he said, sis not unlike
that of any other man. My father was a
detective in Chicago. He opened an
agency known as Pinkerton's Detective
Bureau. That was in 1850. When the
war broke out he was placed at the head of
the United States Secret Service. Twelve
wears ago he died and the business went
into the hands of my brother Robert and
myself and we have conducted it ever
since.
Every once in while some penny-a-
liner comes out with five-cent novel,
claiming that it is a reliable record of a
James, John. Ralph or Charles Pink
erton. This sort of rubbish is the worst
rot published and has no connection with
US at all. In fact, we have done everything
in our power to destroy it, as it is the cause
of more amateur criminals trying their
hand on the public than any other litera-
ture extant. We can trace good many
crimes directly to the influence of the yell
low-covered novel
81 often see statements that certain sto-
ries are written from the records on file in
our office. There was but one story ever
written under these circumstances and my
father wrote that. Our Office records are
not open to the public and never will be,
least of all to assist in the perpetuation of
the criminal rot got out by various pub
fishers.
eff it were in my power should at once
destroy every page of it and | would urge
every mother to see that it is not part of
her sons reading. No good can come
of it.
Had 1 a son guilty of such conduct l
would horsewhip him without hesitation.
That's what l think of detective stories.
Another thing worth discussing now that
we are touching on such matters IS the
impression that detectives go around with
complete theatrical makeup in their
pockets, ready to assume dozen different
disguises at a moments notice That is
ridiculous and outlandish. l assure you
there is nothing in it. A man may per-
haps change his hat, or dress little diff
ferent so as not to attract too much atten-
ton, but as for assuming the disgulses
credited to him there is more fiction than
truth in it. When you hear men talk OF
their experiences as detectives and couple
with 1t the Introduction of thousand
clever make-ups, settle in your mind at
once that they are frauds.
''The whole thing is simply question of
knowing what conditions go with. various
methods of crime and knowledge of men,
all of which is the result of experience and
not the reward which comes with dangers,
unusual exhibitions of nerve, or bloody
encounters with men of the lower class"

an Indian and his MOneU.

Ed. Davis, a Nez Perce Indian,
was almost burned to death last
week at his home on the Clearwa-
ter river six miles above the agen-
cy, says the Lewiston Tribune. He
had carried several hundred dol
lars in gold coin home with him
and the music of the jingling yell
low metal seemed to fascinate him.
He would count and recount it,
and handle it and let it drop
through his fingers. The sight
and sound of the coin weaved a
magic spell about him. His house
caught on fire but he needed it
not. He could not tear himself
away from handling his money.
The flames continued to feed and
grow and soon approached Davis,
but though they began to scorch
and burn him he would not move,
Finally some of his neighbors, at
tracted by the flames, came to the
place and found him about to be
burned alive while handling his
gold. They dragged him out and
saved his money, but half of hi'
face was burned away and hi'
home and it's contents were totally
destroyed.
