He Appreciated the Value of Fossils
and Studied Graves.
He was physician, and, while CIV
ing only his leisure to science and lit
erature, he became leading authority
in the zoology and botany Of Great Brit
ain, says Popular Science Monthly. He
introduced the word "commensality,"
now in common use, to express state
Of many living together, as it were, at
the same table. The word was mem
toned by Johnson as an example of a
useful term, which if rejected, must be
supplied by circumlocution. Browne
was a pioneer in the scientific study Of
graves and their contents. He appre-
ciated the value OF fossils. He was also
a comparative anatomist, and constant

obtained seventeen practically perfect
negatives Of the great sound money

No less q person than Julian Ralph,
ordinarily a man of strict common
sense, argues by special cable that the
reason why the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough will undertake trip to
this country in order that their child
may be born here, as because they wish
the child (whom Mr.. Ralph prophet
cally refers to as "a member of the
British peerage'D to be safe from any
chance Of its being declared an alien,
and thus barred from inheriting Ameri-
can land. This is sheer midsummer
madness--of whatever sex the child
may be, it will be English, no matter
where 1t is born, and should Mr.
Ralph's prophecy be correct, and the
child is a boy, it will be hard to argue
that the Marquis Of Blandford-which
will be his title-is anything else than
an alien in this country, no matter il
he be born in the capitol at Washing

There Is new story around Chica-
70 anent Whistler. 1t is claimed that
he painted portrait of Miss Marion
Peck, daughter Of the late Harold Peck,
was paid for 1t, and now refuses to
send it to such place as Chicago"
The story Is singularly lacking in veri-
similitude, for despite all Whistlera
eccentricities he is anything but dis
honest. Moreover, the added detail that
Miss Peck gave the great painter 800
sittings for the portrait at once shows
the improbability Of the whole matter
as Whistler is known the world over
as the most rapid painter living, and
he never in his life gave half or Quar-.

that if there was he stood as good a
SHOW of losing one or more of them as

he had just as soon have little sport

they proceeded to the spot where the
harness had been found in the hay,
and laid down under a hedge to wait.
1t wasn't the pleasantest evening in
the world to lay on the ground; but
Shannon was sure of his game, so they
waited and shivered in content.
About ) o'clock officer Shannon be-
gan to realize how gooo his judgment
had been. Footsteps were heard, and,
peeping srt from his hiding place, ne
then turn and walk back. He knew
lie had his game. Presently they
found place to get through the half
hedge, half wire fence, and they ap-
preached the stack, only three or four
rods sway. He waited till they had
uncovered the harness and had started
to leave with it, and then gave the

with alacrity, while one threw up his
hands and yelled for mercy, evidently
believing his time had come. Then
while Wilkinson guarded them, Shan
non disarmed the men, placed the har-
ness back under the hay and than
started for the station.
At the jail Willis said he lived at 61S
South Third West street, and Richards
said his place of abode was at the
Colorado House, on State street. The
former denied having stolen the har-
ness, and said he had been told by a
man who was a total stranger to him
that he knew where he could get se-
of good double harness cheap, and
that If he chose to go after it he might
pay what he thought it was worth.
Richards, however, admitted to OFF,
Ger Shannon that he had been in on
the theft, when he said it was the
first thing or the KIM ne ndO ever

who had carried the big gun and had

guns, but he never looked down a bar

1t was very nicely planned, but an
incident happened which was as lucky
for Dick Shannon, one of the mounted
police, and for the ends of justice, as
it was unlucky for two individuals who
gave the names of A. Willis and J. H.
Richards, and now they are lodged in
the city Jail waiting a hearing on a
charge of burglary. They are two har-
ness thieves and were taken red
handed. The capture is an important
one and rebounds greatly TO the credit
of Officer Shannon and Joe Wilkinson,
whom he called in to assist him. The
men showed fight, but when they found
themselves looking down the barrels
OF couple of shotguus, they weak
ened and permitted themselves to be
bagged without further resistance.
Harness stealing is the regular oc-
cupation of quite a number of crooks
in this vicinity, and reports of barns
having been gone through and har-
ness, saddles, horse clothing, ETC., being
taken, are of common occurrence at
police headquarters. Sometimes one Of
the followers of the trade is taken,
but it is a rare occurrence, owing to
the localities in which they operate;
that is, outside of the regularly po-
Iced districts.
Yesterday morning Bishop Sheets,
southeast of the city. just over the cor
poration line, notified the station that
his barn had been robbed the night be-
fore of a set of heavy work harness
and a light single harness, and the
officers, particularly the mounted ones,
were instructed to keep lookout. BY
a lucky circumstance Officer Shannon
learned of person having accidentally
uncovered some harness under hay
stack in a field just west of Second
West street and between Ninth and
Tenth South streets. He went down
and investigated, and sure enough he
found Bishop Sheets harness and an
other single set. The officer said moth
ing, but when he reported off duty last
evening, instead of going home, he
shouldered a double-barreled shotgun
and started for the haystack, in the
belief that the thieves had only placed
the harness there temporarily and that
they would come back last night and
get it.
On the way down, the officer, think
ing 40 matter over, came to the con-
c.usion that there was more than one
