BOLD THIEVES.
They Inaugurate q Reign of Terror in
Cleveland.

Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 26.-This city is
in the midst of reign of terror. 1t
would seem that well organized gang
of the most audacious highwaymen
and burglars has taken possession of
the city, and for six days they have
simply had things their OWE way. The
desperadoes work together and ter
rorize first one portion of the city and
then another. Peaceful citizens are
sleeping with revolvers in their hands
and suburb anites collect in little
crowds to go home after dark, and get
in the middle of the street 10 turn cor
ners. Friday night the desperadoes
made a raid on the downtown saloons
about eight o'clock, and held up about
IS in the very heart of the city. Dur
ing the day, in broad daylight. a jewelry
store was robbed of a tray containing
$500 worth of goods Since eight
o'clock Friday night 20 robberies have
been reported to the police, who are un-
able to stop the depredations Three
men have been arrested. John Carey
has been identified. but there is little
evidence against the others.

QUAKER OF THE ORIENT.

The Hercuiean Turkish Porter Whose
A Place OF Business Ii en- the Street.
= The Turkish porter is one OF the most
interesting objects seen in tour OF
the orient. OF Herculean strength and
power of endurance, he is usually;
prompt and obliging, also honest so far
as in him lies. He cannot speak the
truth, and would not respect himself
if he could, for that is a virtue of the
Frank
His place of business, says the Chica-
60 Times-Herald, is on the streets of his
native town, where he can be found at
all hours of the day, clad in a loose
soiled jacket, usually gray, with gray
CATERS, Turkish shoes or sandals, the
inevitable fez and q neckerchief that
makes him look as if he were strang-
ling.
All the burden of conveying large or
small articles falls upon him and he

tented of the working fraternity one
meets abroad, whether he is found In
the streets of Constantinople or in those
of STEAMBOAT, and the tourists make
much of him because he is interesting,
his occasional smoke under the shade
of q mulberry tree, or his lazy sips Of
sherbet, being treats that renew his
strength for the hard work by which
he must Eve-if he is not able to sell
merchandise. Being sturdy and indus
trious, the traits of the Turkish porter
commend him to the public. hence

SHE SAVED HERSELF.
And Broke the Impact of That WILD ana
Rushing Cyclist.

6uS Ming CyclisI
A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance Of a cyclist in Bromp-
ton road, London, IN an original and
commendable fashion, says the London
Telegraph. The cyclist was rushing
along at his best pace and the lady was
crossing the roadway Instead of max
ing detour to avoid her, the man sim
ply rung his bell and rushed on without
abatement of speed, considering that he
had done his duty to society.
Pedestrians on the footpath and bus
men on their perches saw that col
iision was inevitable. So did the lady,
who braced herself for the ordeal and
resolved on offensive tactics Giving
her body-noI by any means that of a
pigmy-a rapid swing, she brought the
stronger part of her figure into CONTACT
with the front wheel OF the machine
and the bicyclist himself and sent them
both sprawling into the roadway.
Then, giving her skirts another swing.
just to prove that she had suffered no
damage, she finished her journey across
the road and turned around and
laughed with others at the unhappy
cyclist as he picked up himself and the
disjecta menbra of his once perfect ma
chine. He made hiswsy to the curbstone-
where he sat down to contemplate the
damage, and finally put the thing on his
shoulder and carried il away.
