BOLD WORK.
A PICKPOCKET WHO LIVES IN
CANTON.
Not One of the Imported Crooks-His
Clever Capture by Local Gentle
men After He Had Stolen
Purse From a Shopper.

Frank Ferguson, young man living
in this city, was Monday morning captured
after short chase, and landed safely be.
hind the bars of the city prison.
Louisa and Melinda Menegay came to
the city that morning from their home in
Louisville, to do some shopping They
were standing at the corner of Market
and Tuscarawas streets buying some fruit
from the stand kept by an Italian.
Louisa had paid for the purchase and had
just placed her purse in her pocket when
sine felt hand glide after it, and in q
moment it was gone. She saw the fellow
with her property in his hand and made
a grab for him, but missed him, and the
man ran down the street. @. n. Weary
and several Others saw the performance
and immediately pursued the fellow.
Thery were joined by Edward Bomberger
and Casper Falla. The piokpooket, seeing
the crowd after him, turned into Pied
mont street and then rushed into the eel
lar of Bookius g. Sons shoe store, and
secreted himself among a pile of store
boxes and tables. Bomberger and Falla
boldly followed him into the darkness
and grabbed him. The fellow made a
desperate fight, but he was quickly over
powered and followed by several hundred
people who had seen the excitement.
He was taken to the city prison and looked
up. Nothing was found on his person
but an ugly looking knife with the blade
exposed, and ready for business.
The man was shrewd enough to throw
away the pocketbook as soon as he had
extracted the money 1t was picked up
by one of the men who Joined in the chase,
and later the money it contained, $1.51,
was found by Falla and Bomberger,
where the fellow had thrown it, in
Bookius g. Sons cellar.
Ferguson, when arraigned before Mayor
Rice this afternoon, said he had frequently
been in Canton, but did not live here
He pleaded guilty to pooket-pioking, and
was fined $50 and costs and sent to the
work-house for sixty days.

LONDON, June 27.-The Standard

The Morning Post, also Conservative,
SAYS. ut is not comforting refiec.
ton that the release of Mr.. Harrison,
the crown surveyor, is probably largely
due to the influence of the United
States. We are accustomed to think
that Great Britain can protect her own
subjects or exact the due penalty for
outrages upon them. The exercise of
the influence Of the United States is,
however, tribute to the reality of the
negotiations for arbitration between
America and ourselves"

HARRISON GOES FREE.
Venezuela Gracefully Grants
Our Request.
EXPECTED TO AID THE SITUATION.
Likely to Make the Main Issue Between
England and Venezuela More Easy to
settIe-Harrison's Attempted Invasion
Hard TO Understand.

WASHINGTON, June 27.--The latest
complication in the Venezuelan ques-
ton has been promptly settled through
the friendly intervention of the United
States Mr. Andrade, the Venezuelan
minister, has called at the state depart
ment and handed to Mr.. Olney copy
Of q telegram he had just received from
Mr.. Rojas, the Venezuelan minister OF
foreign affairs, stating that Mr.. Har.
rison, the crown surveyor of the British
Guiana, who, with his party, had been
placed in arrest by Venezuelan officials,
had been promptly released by order of
the Venezuelan government.
1t is undoubtedly true that the prompt
action Of the Venezuelan government
was, in a measure, due to Mr.. Olney's s
intercession through our minister at
Caracas, and it is believed that the main
issue between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela will be even more easy of settle
ment now that the latter government
has been so prompt to disavo W the act
of the local officials.
In all the encroachments made on
Venezuelan territory the rights of Vene-
zuela to all territory on the left bank of
the Cuyuni has been respected by the
British. Posts have been erected by the
Venezuelans on the left bank and by
the British on the right bank, and,
while the country on the right bank is
in dispute, that on the left has never
been disputed until Harrison attempted
to cross the river against the protest of

The palms of my hands were covered, and

burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for 1t. On the inside of the upper part Of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night would lie awake all night

The Worlds Supply of camphor.

Scientists are already wondering
where the world will get its future
supply of camphor, says The Drug
gist. Large quantities of the drug
are consumed in the manufacture of
cslluloid, which is now largely used
ss substitute for tortoise shell, ivory
and horn. This has increased the de-
mand and raised the price.
Camphor is produced by several
trees which differ materially in their
habits, while other trees, closely re-
lated TO them, do not produce the
drug. Nearly all that is used in Eu-
rope or America is exported from
China or Japan. A specie Of tree in
Borneo produces camphor of very
high order, which sells for eighty
times the price of the common article.
It is nearly oil used in China. where it
is estimated as an incense.
One species of smokeless powder re-
quires camphor in its formation, but
1t has never been used in sufficiently
great quantities to affect the market
price. The trees from which camphor
is produced grow slowly. Man is their
greatest enemy, and unless effort is
made to protect the trees now living
and others are planted, future genera
tiops will have little camphor.

To Carry Bikes in a Car.

A baggage car equipped with new
device for supporting bicycles has
Just been completed. The bracket is
made to attach to the ceiling or to the
eide of the car, or wall. The overhead
support consists OF an L-shapad bracket
about twenty.eight inches IN height,
the lower arm Of which is provided
with two pivoted y.shaped holding
plates, in which the bicycle frame If
firmly held.
The holding plates are pivotally
supported on the lower arm, and au'
tomatically adjust themselves to the
diverging frames of any bicycle, no
matter what its make or construction
may be. A single spring holds the
plates in their proper positions 30 that
they are always ready to engage the
frame rods, and as they are cushioned
with rubber or felt, it is impossible
for the frame to be scratched or
marred.
It carries the bicycle in an inverted
or upside.down position, and when
fastened to the ceiling of baggage
car baggage men of ordinary height
can walk under the wheels. New

Strange Sea Monsters.

The sting ray, a member of the
skate family, is q dangerous inhab.
liant of Florida waters. The largest
specimens of the kind, weighing from
four hundred to five hundred pounds,
live at great depths, and are seldom
found in shore, but rays from thirty
to forty pounds are often encountered
near the land, and natives consider
them to be fnlly as dangerous as the
octopus or the much dreaded blue
nherk.
The fish is large, broad, fat-bel-
lied creature, with eyes of a golden
tint, sharp, spear.like appendage at
the end of the back and long, slen-
der tail that reminds one much of
blacksnake whip. This whip tail
serves as lariat with which an enemy
may first be lassoed and then the
barbed spine finishes the work by lac
Grating the victim in frightful man
ner. The sting ray is villianous
creature from any point OF view, and
has no friends in this or any other
latitude.
In the Atlantic Ocean between the
shores of the Bahama Islands and the
Florida coast, there lives a strange
creature known as the glaucus, or sea
lizard. 1t is seldom if ever found
near the land, but seems to prefer
deep water AMI hot sea, especially
where strong current exists. 1t is
we'll known that this portion OF the
Cult Stream, crowded in between the
Bahamas and Florida, is very rapid,
and therefore the conditions so favor
able to the sea lizard are here to be
found to greater degree than else
where in the known world.
AS o substitute for forelegs it has
two broom. shaped fins, and from
about the middle of the body, includ-
ing the tail, there are several more
fins that spread out like fan.-New
York Journal.
