Pope AZ q Trickster.

Mr.. Leslie Stephen writes strongly,
but not too strongly. when he says in
reference to the correspondence of Pope,
ut is painful to track the strange de-
ceptions of man of genius as detect
i've unravels the misdeeds of an accom-.
plished swiudler. Pope was a confirm.
ed liar, and he lied very hard indeed
about the publication of his letters.
Having by means of trick secured
their publication by n notorious pirat.
ical bookseller, he at once declared that
the letters were forgeries. Yet while he
was calling out for their suppression he
was really anxious for their sale. The
details of all his trickery and lying need
not be gone into here.
Pope, full of vanity and longing to
publish his correspondence, had pur-
posoly employed notorious bookseller
to issue an edition In order that he
might then DO able to say that the YER
sion was piratical one, and that in
self defense he must publish the genu-
inc text. The odd thing is that, though
tho whole affair was exposed at the
time, it does not seem to have done
Pope any harm. DR.. johnson, indeed
says that it did him good and that the
nation was full Of praise for the admira-
Bile qualities Of candor, benevolence and
fidelity which the letters revealed. Here
is some comfort for any living literary
genius who has not yet published his
private correspondence. - Longman's
Magazine.

X RAY NEGATIVES.


X ray negatives of human limbs were

i
| Character.
There is man in Philadelphia who
claims that it is much easier to read
ones character and past and future
from the maps on the soles of ones feet
than it is from the palms of the hands.
He calls it "pedalogy.
The pedalogist, while refusing to tell
the names of the owners of the feet In
most cases, showed a number Of dia.
grams the other day and explained to q
reporter how he read the fortunes Of
! the soles.

tioning her name. Here is her story.
Look at it. It's worth studying, for she
is not only one Of the most beautiful
women OH the American stage, but it is
remarkable In other ways. Her foot is
so beautifully arched that little of her
sole touched the paper when she placed
her foot upon 1t. The intellectual and
artistic lines are very clearly defined on
her foot, and one need but see and hear
Miss Elliott speak for a few moments
to realize that her, artistic and mental
capabilities are OF a high order. The
lines OF intuition and imagination are
both remarkably long The cross be-
tween the line Of love and the head line
indicates that in love affair Miss Eli
oft would be governed largely by rea-
son. She has strong affections, accord
ing to the long heart line.
A contrast to Miss Elliott's foot was
that OF factory girl from Kensington.
This was foot common to people Of
little education, There was scarcely any
instep to the foot. The lines of imagi-
nation, mental capacities and intuition
were very short. and the artistic line
was entirely lacking. The heart and
love lines were well defined and long.
The lines also indicated firmness and
great ambition, with decided fondness

BURGLARS ARE rAsDrp.



That there Is In Wilmington band o.
burglars can no longer be doubted, and
that they have found the city, the easiest
place they know Of to ply their vocation Is
attested by their many Jobs and the little
trouble the police department gives them.
Last night one successful and one un

ling. The successful one was at the resi-
dence of Colonel Benjamin Nieds Of
Eighth and Broom Streets but the haul
was, not big one, the burglars being
frightened.
The Nellds home is only half a square
from the home of A. ]. Hart which was
burglarized several mouths ago.
The men climbed a post Of the porch and
forced open with q Jimmie" q second,
the thieves locked all the doors. But one
fellow stumbled and the family on the
first floor was alarmed. A son of Colonel
Nields began an investigation but found
the doors locked. Aftetward it was dis.
covered that quite an amount Of jewelry
had been stolen. The thieves escaped by
jumping from the porch.
The unsuccessful attempt was at the
residence of H. II. Ward, Fifth and
Rodney streets where Jimmie marks
were found on shutter and blood spots
on fence, the latter presumably to have
been caused by one of the men coming
IN contact with the barb wire fence.
Residents of the community have seen
wowell dressed mon several nights whom
they believe to be members Of the gang.
Mrs. William Beadenkoff of Pennsyl-
yania avenue and Broom street, four
squares from the Neilds home, says that
z O'Clock last evening she saw two men on
her lawn. One wore light overcoat and
rANyh hot bn ~ la,t

them until they disappeared in the direc-
