Gerst and her specializing schemes have
caused many heads to turn gray. and her
escape from the police OF Pittsburg in 1894
caused a great sensation i'm that city. De-
tectives followed her all over the country
for several months, but she was too shrewd
for them and they finally gave up the
chase. Pools were her favorite projects.
so some of the legitimate brokers began TO
suspect that the mythical +. s. Dean was
creation of Mrs. Gerst's versatile mind.
Wall-street operators say they never saw
T.. 5. Dean. and the claim that he was
once a partner of "Old Hutch" has been
shown TO be without foundation. Inquiries
all through the West where z. S. Dean
was said TO have been an extensive opera
tor bring back the reply-always the same:
No such person known" The descriptions
of Mrs. Dean. or the woman in the con-
Germ, vary. Some say she was handsome
and appeared TO be a widow. a story has
been abroad that she at one time a
housekeeper in an uptown hotel.
Mrs. Matilda Gerst. the woman who up
set Pittsburg in a night and put the police
to battering in the doors of discretionary

out over back roof. went down a ladder
and escaped by means of a waiting car

not where. The police of Pittsburg and
Allegheny were never more chagrined.

Its Operations at New York-The Sher-
IN I'm Charge.

NEW YORK. April 9.--The sheriff's office
has taken charge of all mail addressed to
E. S. Dean & Co. and turned it over Ito
the United States postal authorities. Dep
uty Sheriff Lipke said that he would not
recognize Receiver Norris as having any
authority TO take charge of any of the Il,

The property that can be levied on. as far
as is known, consists principally of office
furniture. Receiver Norris arrived in this
city to-day. He said that he had nothing
TO do with the New York part of the busi-
ness. but was receiver for the New Jersey
branches.
At the Office Of the Bankers and Mer-
c'fnts' Credit Guarantee Interchange il
\ IS said that a number of letters had been
received during the day from investors in
the Il. s. Dean Company, who wanted the
Interchange to look out for their interests
The Interchange. 1t Is said. was taking up
these without charging any advance and
without giving their clients any hope that
they can recover anything. The Inter-

A HOMEGROWN Experience.

:; A man went into an iicehouse to cool OIL;
An abrupt and impetuous hired man closed
and locked the door and went away. The
next day was Sunday and the hired man did
not come back. While the man who yearned
to cool off waited for the return OF the hired
man his object was accomplished IN a very
thorough manner. He cooled off. The
mufaed door gave back but echoes to his
blows, and his voice could find no place to
escape and sound the alarm. When he grew
tired of walking and swinging his arms to
keep warm the chunks Of ice that were piled
around him did not offer tempting bed.
Hunger gnawed at his vitals and refused to
be satisfied with diet of raw air. Darkness
settled down like six months Arctic night,
and the only sound which broke the pro
found stiffness was the man who wanted to
cool off trying to swear. The hired mar,
opened the door on Monday morning, and
the man who wanted to cool off crawled out
more dead than alive. When his tongue had
thawed out he began to abuse the hired
man. "Fool!" retorted the hired man.
"Fool, you are lucky dog and do not know
it. Don't waste time in abusing me, your
benefactor, but go and write book of i'm
pressions on Alaska" Then the man who
wanted to cool off saw that his fortune was
made-Chicago Record

Sea Dogs on Wheels.

The bicycle fever has broken out in most
unexpected quarter. It is only natural that
a landsman should take to that speedy meth
cd of locomotion, but who would ever think
that seamen would get the craze? Perhaps
it is because they have become accustomed
to rolling. Nearly every British ship that
comes into port now carries bicycle, and
the skipper is usually an expert rider. At
sea he rides around and around the main
deck, and as soon as he reaches port he
takes his wheel ashore. Three sea captains
were riding in the park the other afternoon.
One OF them was novice and confessed his
inability to work the tiller so as to sail
