That plenty of genuine eases of klep tomania undoubtedly exist is we'll known to both legal and medical experts There was, for instance, the case of a not very long deceased nobleman who frequent Iy poeketed his hostess spoons at din ner party, and whose pockets were in- variahly searched by his man on his re- turn, with view to prompt restitution.
 In another case a lady who was quito rational upon other points was discoy- cred to have 10 tAgs concealed about her, in which were over 1 100 little ar ticles which she had stolen and conceal ed, although nearly every one was ahso- lutely worthless A clergyman has been known to steal Bibles under the impress sion that he was thereby propagating the gospel. Another gentleman, sane i'll other respects, invariably stole tho tow els from any hotel he stopped at while travelling and returned them when he got home. and, oddest of all, there has been case of q man who would never eat food which he had not stolen. He was man of means, and his personal attendant used to hide his meals, so that he might think he himself had stolen them. ;n order tc induce him to eat - Lady's Pictorial.

MILITARY ATTACHES.
Eleven Army Officers May Be Sent
to South American Republics.

The plan of enlarging the present corps
of military attaches by the appointment
of an officer Of the Army to serve as
military aIuaclie a eacn OF the legations
in Central and South America is under con-
sideration at the War Department, and
will In the near future be prese nted to the
President for his approval, which it is
expected, will be given, and the ap-
pointiuents Will De made as soon as pos
sible.
The attaches that may be appointed to
the Central and South America n States will
be charged To use their efforts to de-
yelop u market for ordnance, ammunition
and general military stores of American
manufacture. Our consuls have done lit
tie or nothing in that direction, and 1t is
believed that the special experience Of
Army Officers in this connection will be
productive OF better results. During the
past few years, since the French govern
ment has had a military attache in Brazil,
large contracts have been made in France
by Brazil for army supplies. Almost all
the equipment of armies of the southern re-
publics are purchased a broa d, and II is held
that it is time a special effort was made
by the nited States to secure a share OF this
important trade.
1.-the proposed plan is carried out there
will be eleven more officers appointed as
military attaches-one each in Rio ia neiru,
Buenos Ayres, Santiago, MOntevideo, La
Paz, Lima, Bo:uta. Quito. Caracas, GCata-
mala and Managua.

SHIPS sTRONGBOX ROBBED
Three Thousand Dollars Taken
From a Ward Line Steamer.
HAD $500, ,OOOIN MEXICAN COIN
Treasure Had Been Taken Aboa rd
About Twenty-four Hours After
the Vessel Left Port-Thc Strong
Room Found Unlocked.

New York. Dec. 2O.-A daring robbery on
the high seas, the looting OF a treasure
chest on an ocean steamer, is the mystery
! that has filled the water front with desec-
tives ans puzzled the ablest wits. For
several days tile hotels and barrooms along
South street have been literally patronized
by strangers-oily, tarry sailormen, to all
appearances-who have ebeenmaking friends
and winning confidence at a great rate.
These seeming tOilers Of the sea are in
reality the detectives at work upon one of
the most sensational ocean robberies OF
modern times.
The Ward liner City of Washington, that
sailed from Vera Cruz December /, and
arrived in this port on Wednesday, arried
in her strong-room 100000 in Mexican
coin. This was not an unusually large
shipment OF treasure for the Ward line to
handle, and no one in authority dreamed Of
danger. Nevertheless, during the voyage
the strobE-room, built to withstand the
attack of almost everything but dynamite
and located so as to be under constant OBJ
servation, was broken into.
Only So, GOO was taken by the robbers,
but the general impression is that the
scheme OF the daring perpetrators was
to seize the entire treasure. Every ef-
fort has teen made to keep the matter
quiet So that the strong force of dete ctives
put upon the case by the company might
work to the best advantage. Last night
however, A. 6. Smith, the compauy's ,ec-
retary, unhesitatfngly admitted that the
robbery had been committed.
The City OF Washington took the treasure
aboard at Vera Cruz. 1t was consigned 20
European firms, Ind the transit to New
York was but the first stage in rs
journey. Capt. Burley, one of the most
experienced officers in the companv's
employ, trustworthy man, aga inst whom
nothing OF carelessness or fncompetency
can be urged, was in command Of the
ship. He and his mate We're the only
men ahuard who held keys to the treasure
room. This room is between-decks, amid
ships, right where it would be most diff
cult FOR men-no matter how clever to
force an entrance unobserved. The crew
OF the City OF Washington numbered "lose
to sixty men, and these, with thirteen
passengers and three shipwrecked sea men
picked up at Havana, made up the total Of
souls on board.
1t was seemingly perfect voyage from
Vera Cruz to Tampfco, then on to Pro-
greso. and finally to this port, where the
ship tied up at Pier IT, East River, late
Wednesday evening. Even when the lines
were out and the thirteen passengers had
vanished into the great city with their
baggage. Capt Burley had no suspicion OF
the Astonishing discovery in store for him
