TRICKS OF WASHERWoMEN.
Some Loan Out the Laundry sent Them
10 BE Cleaned.
ON The WASHINGTON Star.

From the Washington Star.
Though it may not have occurred
frequently ! am convinced that some
washwomen here hired out my linens
during the time they had them to be
washed" said a lady department clerk,
land l make the announcement to save
others from similar treatment Among
laundry women, While the great per-
centage of them are honest, though nor
so careful at times as one could wish,
there are a few who are not, and 1t is
To get al this few that | am speaking.
Whenever a washwoman excuses her
self from delivering clothes at the APP
pointed time and promises TO have them
finished early next week. there Is room
for suspicion-and. 1t will bear investi-
cation. Circumstances. of course, arise,
rainy weather. sickness and the like,
which prevent even the most prompt
laundry women from returning the
clothing when they promise, but when
this thing is kept up and the clothes are
habitually kept over Sunday, it is
safe venture to get another person to do
your laundry.
Ordinarily there is not one person in
ten who has other than a general idea
of where their clothes are laundarad.
They know they are taken away and
after a few days returned ana that Is
about as far as their information goes.
Indeed, that was all | knew for many
years. Now. however | am more par
ticular, and | not only .,roW the par
ticular place where my clothing is
washed and the place where IT is dried
and ironed, but | know eXacdy who
washes it, In a quiet kind of a way
have investigated somewhat into the
matter and ] find that clothing of both
women and men is regularly loaned or
hired out, and then washed and ironed
again before being returned. The only
way by which this practice can be
81 is itot taH ia
sionally visit the places where their
work is done and see for themselves
that their clothing, If not ready to be
delivered. is i'll the hands of those who
should have ii instead of being ON the
bodies of those who hire or borrow il.
Probably | should say that violations
of this kind are less frequent in the
cases of residents than they are in those
of transients who stop at hotels and
boarding houses"

the fight tried to get full flash Of his
eyes. as | always do in sparring. The
eye unconsciously tells one when the
enemy is going to lead. But ] couldn't
catch and hold McCoy's orb. He had
the hang-dog expression OF a sneak
thief in the act of looting a pocket or
scuttling a second story. OF course the
evasiVe habit of shifting his glance re-
suited in finding me off my guard half
the time
pantherlike glide. In the angular pose Of
the body, the chest aslant, the legs
agape, the head tossed back the face
aglint with an ugly leer One of the
pretttest points of his boxing is the
sudden recovery from his slanting po-
stion as he gathers himself for a
charge. His scheme of pivoting is per-
haps the most original trait in his
method The large majority of boxers
pivot from the hips while in the act Of
delivering a blow. But Mccoy finds
purchase in the knee, which acts as the
pivot for his 1.-THE, sleek body. This odd
action adds to the force of the blow. At
least that is his claim, and his marvel
Gus performance against Creedon half
way demonstrated that his theory of
manipulating the trunk and legs is the
correct one. Tommy Ryan is one of the
few who pivots from the knee. This
feature of McCoy's boxing is one of his
most deceptive feints. BY the sway of
his body his opponent is often thrown
off his guard. BY backward sway the
Kid creates the impression that he is
breaking ground though he is really
pulling himself together for an advance.
BY this foxy bit of pantomime he palms
off neat little confidence game on the
foe, who is deceived into leading by the
deceptive body feint. Whenever Cree
don led Mccoy shifted in side step to
left or right. and, as the lead spent it
self, the Kid recovered like a fash and
smuggled in a half hook over the guard
or a left jab in the stomach.

WORKING INTHE DARK.
Scarcity of Lights Drawback in the
Klondike.

Seattle, Wn., Dec. 1S.-A letter to the
Associated Press from Skaguay. Alas
ka, dated December IL, gives the fol-
lowing additional news brought from
Dawson by Joe Kastner and George
Mclaughlin of Helena, Mont, who left
Dawson, November 3.
Provisions at Dawson were to be had
only from the recent arrivals who had
was 81 per pound for everything pur-
chasable, from a sack of flour to a pick
or frying pan.
''WilI there be starvation in Dawson
this winter?" Mr.. Kastner was asked.
THAT is a hard question: he said.
IF the people are put on rations, there
will, in my opinion, be enough food to
tide over the winter or until supplies
can arrive and there will be no actual
suffering from want of food
Mr.. Kastner went into the Klondike
country to examine the old diggings
with a view of reworking them. He
found that the drifts filed with water
and were soon transformed into solid
beds of ice, making reWorking at pres
ent impracticable but he states that
fully one-third of the gold is lost by
the method employed in the KlOndika
district. He estimates that the amount
of gold that was taken out of the dis
trict this winter will be between 81, 600, :
600 and So, 900, 000 Ten millions could
easily be taken out but for the scarcity
of light. Candles and coal oil are ex-
tremely scarce and some miners are
trying to work their claims in complete
darkness

SHEVLIN IS HERE.
Topeka Now Has Very Crooked
Crook to Dispose OF.

Officer John Haisch arrived in Tope-
ka yesterday from Chicago bringing
with him John Shevlin, the crook who
is charged with having robbed Judge
Henry Keeler at the fair grounds dur
ing Fail Festival week. He was
caught in the act of robbery by the
judge and held until an officer arrived
SheVlin deposited cash bond Of 800
with the police and left the city. When
the case was called Shevlin was mis-
sing. Officers traced him to LoulSVIue,
and later in Chicago he was caught
ShevlinS attorneys attempted to pre-
vent the service of requisitfon papers
but officer Haisch was too swift for
them.
Today he said: 'I got ShevIin and
we started for the Rock Island depot
When we got there we found it would
be half an hour until train time, ana L
saw the officers coming. So got a
carriage and we went to the Santa re
depot and got on just as the train was
about to pull out. The officers missed
US by just a little"
A Chicago dispatch contains the fol-
lowing account of the quick work of
Officer Haisch:
John Shevlin, whose police record in
Chicago has made him one of the best
known of local crooks, was taken to
Topeka, Kas., yesterday to face the
county judge whom he robbed and who
will determine how long he should re-
main in the state penitentiary. Cap
tain COlleran hustled Shevlin out OF
Chicago to defeat the plans of his
friends, who wanted him sent to the
bridewell on a petty charge, with the
hope that he would evade the sentence
in Kansas
THE jig is up" Shevlin said to a re-
porter. I guess I'm bagged for a few
years at least. 1 made the worst mis-
take of my life in holding up that To-
peka judge. I got punched in the first
place and then arrested. I had to pay
a big price to bOndsmen in that country
and then threw them down. You see,
1 did not care to face the judge in
court. He was a pretty tough custo-
mer in a scrap and ] had an idea of
what he would amount to if he had to
sentence me. / am going back to see
him now. They tell me he is mad as
a hornet. I can see my finish as clear
as daylight"
Captain Colleran was visited by the
lawyers with the writ ten minutes after
the patrol wagon had left it's occupant
in the depot.
''ShevIin is not here. He has gone to
the proper papers and took their man
away with Them" said Captain Collier
an.
leader of one of the bo1dest gangs of
crooks in the country. His three
brothers, Vincent, Edwin and Mike,
We're his neutenants. and are all well
known to the police. Vincent killed
Officer Fox of Hinman street station
when he was 9 years old and was sent
to Pontiac. He was recently charged
with numbering Maher, but was ac-
quilted.

LEWELLING'S MISSION.
Goes to Ottawa to Try to Induce Cos
tigan to sLet Up"

Railroad Commissioner Lewelling
went to Ottawa yesterday, ostensibly
to examine certain interlocking switch
es in use on the Santa Fe system, but
the real purpose of his visit was TO
confer with W. ]. Costigan, his politi-
cal adviser and attempt to induce Cos
tigan, also Senator Sheldon, to aban-
don the plan of starting a Straight-out
Populist paper there.
The plant to start a paper of that
character was inspired by the desire of
the PopulistS in that county to fight
Governor Leedy and the present ad-
ministration. AS Mr. Lewelling and a
number of other gentlemen are holding
places at the state house they are anx-
ious that the present administration
retain its place.
Costigan declines to "let-up."
