Gold Anklets on a Girl Cyclist.

At one of the London railway termini the other day a handsome and stylish looking girl created considerable inter- est. She was wearing becoming cycling dress and had her machine with her. Her skirts were short enough to display 6 massive gold cable chain anklet just above her left ankle. If her object was to attract attention to the undoubted ''shapeliness" of that portion of her anatomy and to an uncommonIy neat pair of oxford sho es, she was eminently successful, for all eyes were turned downward toward her feet as presenting quite all interesting novelty.

he might have come down through the

said that the newspapers had stated moth

leads to the attic. He called Inspec ctor
Hollnberger's attention to the fact, and
then, it is alleged, Mrs. Doten almost went

that she knew nothing OF Carr and that he
was not in her house.

the woman's apparent sincerity and the

and with that he made one last bold dash
for the door, and managed to slip by Rock,
but it was nevertheless a fatal dash, for
he ran directly into the arms of Beuchert,
who was waiting for him.
Carr, realizing the situation, gathered
all his strength into one supreme effort
and made lunge at Beuchert, intending
10y sheer force to knock the man over and
thus escape. Beuchert was too much for

Wien Carr dashed at him, he stood hts
ground. and seized the fugitive about the
waist, and clung to him with grim deter

Then desperate struggle ensued. Carr

and he fought like a tiger. He kicked,
struck, and attempted to bite his captor,
who all the time clung to him with de-
termination not to allow his prisoner to
escape. and he did not.
For two or three moments they struggled

REPORT ON STREET LAMPS.
Money Asked for Experiments to
Improve Lighting Facilities.

The annual report of the superintendent
of street lamps was filed at the District
building yesterday.
After reciting that the gas service has
been changed by act of Congress from a
moonlight to an all night service; the
naphtha service extended to Congress
Heights, Takoma Park, Bennings, Brook
land, Langdon, Meridian Hill, Sherman
avenue and adjacent streets, and the in
candescent service along the Tenleytown
road to the District line, on the Aqueduct
bridge and in Eckingt ton, the report
concludes:
1T is urgently recommended that Con
gress be requested to set aside about two
or three thousand dollars OF the street
lighting fund to be expended by the Com
nssioners for lighting, with
view Of improving and increasing the eff
cheney OF the service Under the present
law, which fixes the consumption OF gas
lamps at five cubic feet per hour. Wells
bach or other improved burners cannot be
used
s'Welsbach lights are meeting with favor
In many large cities, where they give q
splendid service. In Washington they
would be of great value in lighting those
resident streets traversed by street rail-
way lines, since considerable objection has
been raised to the Introduction Of arc
lamps in such sections Welsbach burners
consume less gas and give more light than
the ordinary burner. They are, however.
more expensive to maintain, it being i'm
possible TO operate them at the maximum
price OF $50 per lamp per annum fixed
by the appropriation act
For thsreason, and because theyd do not
burn five cubic feet, they have not been
introduced. Were this special provision
made in the law, such lamps could be tried
and If proved satisfactory could be pro-
vided for permanently. The recomm enda
tions of previous years for a clerk and
an increase In the salary Of the superin-
tendent are again made"
