Major Moore's Office in the District
building is curiosity shop. He has
there collection of articles u ied by the
criminals who have been run down by
the metropolitan police: but there is
one particular article among them that
Is PROBABLY the center of interest. In
app .Lance II res aAias an umbrella
that has seen much service, or il might
be taken for stage umbrella, such as
is used by Marks in "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 building. Removing
the cover. a stick wound with rope is
revealed. The stick opens like tele-
scope or a jointed fish pole. Wound
around it is rope ladder. made Of
strong mat.yial and about l3 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
contrivance was taken from colored
burglar named James Moore, who is
now serving out 20 years sentence in
the Albany penitentiary 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
genious affairs ever made use of by q
thief. He carried no other tcols as he
was what is known i'll police circles as
q Summer thief" one who works
when windows are left open. Moore
operated alone, as he was afraid to trust

OuixDtEy.

QuiXOte Is at least interesting, and
even amusing More than this, he is of
practical service. His daring unreason-
ableneSs stirs up stagnating waters and
relieves the gray monOtony of common
sense. Perhaps we regard him with the
pity that Is akin to contempt, and call
him fanatic, enthusiast; but so have we
called the prophets that were before him.
Enthusiasm now is rather out of fash
ion, like duels and hard drinking; and
TO call a man enthusiastic is almost as
great an insult as to call him genteel.
And so we look askance at Quixotry,
because it is not the mode. But per-
haps we rather ought to weep that it is
so much thing of the past, and cherish
those few instances of it that remain
not only because of its artistic value,
but because where the more sober thinker
fails, the Quixote is often of service.
Like an inferior soprano, he will be
heard by his much screaming, and moth
ing is ever done without q scream.
We have Mr.. BUNDLES 8 statement that
the public is "a hass," and it is only
too apt to stand between its proverbial
two bundles of hay and taste neither.
1t takes good deal to wake it from that
deep, sweet slumber in which it habitu-
ally lies, dreaming that it is doing some
thing, fighting old battles over again,
instead of bestirring itself about new
ones. Most progress, and especially po-
litical progress, is series of compro-
misses. No party gets as much as il
wants. but each is drag upon the other.
