CHICA"o, July l1,-According to his

In conversation with (. representative
OF the Associated Press, Sewal ex-
pressed his belief that the ticket would
be great deal stronger throughout New
England and the eastern states than the
western friends Of free silver realize at
present. He believes that it is not i'm
possible for the democrats to carry

The vice presidential nominee is mar
very nearly twice as old as the head o1

CHICAGO, July u.-Sewall was rot
al the convention hall when the noml-
nation was made. He had been there
during the early stages of the balloting,
but at the point when it got real inter

his way, he left the convention hall and
waited to hear the news at a restaurant,
where he took lunch He did not re-
turn to the convention hall, but went
immediately to his room at the Palmer
house. lie had scarcely reached the
hotel when the kilograms began pouring
in from all parts Of the country congrat-
ulating him. Some of them were from
personal friends, but many Of them
were leading democrats and all were of

building iS curiosity, shop. He has
there a c@cction of articles used by the
criminals who have been run down by
the metropolitan police; but there is
one particular article among them that
is probably the ccntor of interest III
appearance it resembles an umbrella
that has seen much service, or it might
be taken for a stage umbrella, such as
is used by Marks iii "Uncle Toms
Cabin "
This imitation umbrella was formerly
the property of a burglar, and it was by
its means that he was able to enter the
second story Of a building Removing
the cover, Il stick wound with rope is
revealed. The stick opens like a tele-
scope or jointed fish pole. Wound
around it is rope ladder, made Of
strong material and about IS feet In
length. The ladder is only wide enough
for one foot to be placed on the rounds,
The extending stick was used to raise
one end Of the ladder to the window
through which the operator wished to
enter, and Oh one end Of the ladder are
two hooks to be fastened to the sill. The
Scontrivance was taken from a colored
burglar named James Moore, who is
now serving out a 20 years sentence in
the Albany pcnitentiary for housebreak-
ing.
Moore was first arrested about ten
years ago 1t was then that he made use
of the ladder TO gain admittance to the
houses that tempted him. He was an
old sailor. and while on board ship he
learned the art of making and splicing
rope, Entering the field of crime, he
conceived the idea of the rope ladders.
1t is regarded as one Of the most in.
gonious affairs ever made use Of by a
thief. lie carried no other tools, as he
was what is known in police circles as
a Summer thief ole who works
when windows are left open. Moore
operated alone, as he was afraid to trust
a opal. " Washington Post.
