SUPERSTITION OF CRIMINALS.
Burglars and PickpOckets Pay Great
Attention to Signs.
From the Boston Traveller

From the Boston Traveller.
Considering the ignorance of crimin-
ais, 1t is not surprising to find they are
exceedingly superstitious. Burglars
are firm believers in talismans and
bringers. and nearly every profess
sional burglar has some small article
upon which he pins his faith, and with
out which he rarely sets out upon a
"crib-cracking" job.
One burglar, well known to the police
all over the country, has for his tlisman
the shod hoof of a donkey. and so great
Is his belief in its powers of protection
and luck bringing that he has been
known to turn back from a job he in
tended to work because his talisman
had been left at home.
The moon plays highly important
part in criminal superstitiOns. Not one
burglar in fifty will venture out on q
house e-breaking expedition on the night
of new moon. Some burglars have
lively horrors Of certain numbers. and
will never enter a house or shop which

LINCOLN's HAT.
A Contest as TO Who Shall Have the
One Exhibited in Washington.
From the Buffalo Express.

From the Buffalo Express.
A white stovepipe hat. somewhat
. worn and soiled. but valuable as once
having been worn by President Lin
coin, was the subject of contention In
a replevin suit in the office of Justice
$. X. Church. of this city. Gath's En-
tailed Hat" never aroused more COM
bativeness In the disposition of man
than does this relic of the martyred
President. Not only was it the subject
of a suit, but it came near leading to
violent action on the part Of its pos
SCISSOR. Mr.. Osborne H. Oldroyd, who
maintains the Lincoln relic collection
on Tenth street. where the victim of
Booth breathed his last.
1t is not certain whether this par
ticular hat was worn by the President
the night that he was assassinated, or
whether 1t was one of his old head COW
erings. kept by him in remembrance of
the days when he first had political as
pirations. 1t is hat that the loudest-
mouthed political champion would ia
boo.
The hat in question was once the
property of Dr. Phineas d. Gurley. to
whom 1t was given by Mrs. Lincoln. In
some way 1t came into the possession
CT the government for use at one of its
expositiOns. 1t was for long time on
exhibition In the Patent Office. Then
In some manner unknown ii fell into
the possession of Osborn H. Oldroyd.
whose house on Tenth street contains
over 5000 Lincoln relics. OF all things
In the house, Mr.. Oldroyd priced the
hat most highly.
If he had not considered 1t profane
act he would doubtless have worn the
hat himself, so strongly was he attach
ed to 1t. Even the sOiled marks were
to him precious. He was therefore
astonished and panied when United
States Consta BILE Saulter entered the
museum this morning, and, armed with
q writ from Justice Church. proceeded
to take possession of the hat.
For while miniature war seemed
imminent The Constable had one end
of the hat in his hand and Mr. Oldroyd
had the other. They pulled until it was
apparent that further pulling would
leave only pieces. The constable eX-
planned. Mr. Oldroyd demonstrated
and threatened, but finally succumbed
and let Mr. Saulter have the hat Mr.
Saulter explained that James o. Adams
and Emma ii. Adams, executors of the
estate OF DR.. Gurley, claimed to be en-
titled to the possession of the hat. and
had filed suit against Mr. Oldroyd for
its recovery. They assert that DR..
Gurley did not give it to the govern
ment. but loaned it, with the UNDER
standing that when the government
had finished with the relic it should be
returned to DR.. Gurley or his heirs in
stead of to private exhibitor.
AS the parties to this case are
wealthy, long and costly litigation is
likely over this treasured relic.

From the Canadian Lancet
AS nature has endowed each one of us
with only one pair of eyes and will not
duplicate them when injured. the fol-
lowing half score of "don'ts' should not
only be indelibly impressed on our
memories, but be religiously remem-
bered:

ophthalmology in Trinity Medical Col
lege, Toronto. says: "Myopia being es-

Pickpockets are even more supersti-
tious than burglars. II is one of the
elementary rules OF the light fingered
fraternity" never to pick the pocket of a

Quently induce pickpocket to throw
away the purse and all It contains. for
such "a thing, Ii kept. is considered to
assure nipe months bad luck or the
thief's early arrest.
When pickpockets start out upon
their nefarlous business they look anX-
iously for .he first policeman, and will
not touch the most tempting pocket be-
fore they have seen him. If his back is
turned toward them they believe that
they have good and safe day before
them: while, II he is coming, or even
looking toward them. they will general
