QUEEN OF THE FORTY THIEVES.
Polly Carr's Striking Beauty Won
Her Many Victims.


There was recently sent to prison in
London for term of three years the
most skillful blackmailer and pick
pocket in that great English city. Her
name is Polly Carr, and the secret of
her great success was the eXtraordin-
ary beauty of her face and figure. She
was known to the police as the Queen
Of the Forty Thieves" and for years
she conducted her operations so skill
fully that she has invariably escaped
Imprisonment. The charge on which
she was recently sentenced was for
kidnapping a child.
Polly has associated with bad char
Rcters ever since she was II years old,
when she was first arrested on a
charge of theft. She soon became one
Of the most expert pickpockets in the
west end of London. Next she turned
| her attention to blackmaiing, and so
successful was she ut this calling that
her profits never fell much short of
5000 Il week. Her favorite scheme
was to waylay elderly gentlemen on
their way home early in the morning
and ask them for the price of cab fave,
saying that someone had stolen her
pocketbook. Her good looks and inno-
cent expression would soften the heart
of the wayfarer, and she rarely failed
Of victim. The dupe would ask the
pleasure of accompanying her to the
cab which invitation was always ac-
cepted. On the way they would pass
through some quiet street and here
Polly would turn around and accuse

Int GOODLY SWORD.
The Egyptians Gave 1t the Name Fifty
Centuries Ago.

Centuries Ago.
Half hundred centuries ago the
Egyptians gave to the sword its name.
Since those old days the history of the
trenchant blade, stained with blood and
defaced by the scars of battle though it
is, holds much of the glory, the poetry
and the chivalry Of the cruel game of
war.
A friend whose fidelity never wavered
and whose power never failed, it is not
surprising that men endowed the sword
not only with human attributes, but
with the might and majesty Of the gods
themselves The old legends abound in
tales of its magical powers. How the
divine armorers strove continually to
excel some rival in the forging of
blade of temper so delicate that it
might cut thread with the same ease
with which it struck head from the
body, or hewed through heavy metal
armor, was favorite subject of the old
Teutonic and viking tales.
These legendary blades bore charac
teristic names, by which they were in
variably known: Graysteel, Wader
Through Sorrow and Milestone Bitter
were swords of wide renown, and we
all remember how Arthnr of the Round
Table took "Excalibur, the sword that
rose from out the bosom of the lake. I"
Caesars sword was called Crocca Mors /;
Charlemagne' Joyeuse played no small
part in the setting up of the great Frank
ish empire. Many bold captain went
down before El Tizona, welded by the
relentless hand of the Cid.
The Japanese, whose civilization was
old before ours began, have produced
beautiful examples of the swordmaker' Is
art. The Japanese nobleman carried his
swords as the insignia Of his rank. He
wore one on each side, thrust into the
folds Of his sash.
These swords have been handed down
as heirlooms from father to son, and il
was not unusual for families of ancient
lineage to have as many as 1000 OF
them-marvels Of costly and artistic
workmanship their possession. The
scabbards are richly lacquered and
bound about with silken cord in 9
curious pattern. The blade is curved
and the round guard is pierced to car
ry a small dagger. This guard, called
tsuba, is decorated with curious de
signs and so great is the ingenuity o.
the Japanese metal workers that among
the thousands of swords they have pro
duced it is impossible to find two guards
exactly alike. They are priced so highly
by collectors that large sums Of money
have been paid frequently for an an
tique sword, only that it might be ruth
lessly torn apart to secure the guard

FLOOD AT WILCOX.
Loss to Property-PrObable
 Suit for Damages.

The following account Of the late storm and flood at Wiilcox is taken from tho Valley New-, winch says:
 The water rose two inches above the stone foundation of Norton & Co, $ main stOre and several inches above the solid wall placed by Soto Bros. under their building alter the flood of 1894.
 Since adobe wall- particularly thsse sustaining great weight, cannot long endure the etfec: of being immersed in water, i. was soon evident that the only means of saving the town was by enlargiog the .ingle culver: provided by the railroad company for the tscape oi flood waters at this point.
 The cu!ycrt tiinbers Were accord ingly blown out with giant powi IT and the rise uf the wafer to d greater height thereby prevented.
 Leading citizens cf Wilcox have repeatedly appe aled to the southern Pacific Co. for additional culverts within the town limits and along the line to Rsilroad Pass, i. being well known that the railroad embankment acts as s levee to throw the sur face water frcin the Graham noun tains directly into Wilcox.
 The damage caused by this foo /! cannot yet be estimated. Soto Bros. loss alone will probably reach $l 300 or B 900, and it is probable that the total lois l. property owners in Will COX will approximate 5000.
 Sui, viii probably ne brought against the Southern Pacific Co. for the damage sus.sined in this, the sec ond great flood due 10 the compsny's refusal to provide . sufficient outlet for the waters Of the valley"
