Bit q Store Detective Who Caught
Them Sh0plifting.
Battle Continued on the Street Before
q Big Crowd Of Onlookcrs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-DetectiVe Henry
Wolf, of the West Thirtieth street police
station, had a desperate fight with an al
legged shoplifter in Sixth avenue, yester-
day afternoon, but finally led her hand
cuffed to the station. Ihe prisoner was
Mrs. Annie Weise, 80 years old, of 306
East Fifty-seventh street, and she had
been arrested by Miss Louise Alexander,
In a Twepty-tbird st rect dry goods store,
together with a companion who said she
was Mrs. Jane Gold berg, 80 years old, OF
102 Allen street. Miss Alexander asserted
that she saw the women steal SS yards OF
black silk, valued at sos. She stopped
them as they we're leaving the store, and
tolo them they would have to return to
they threw themselves upon the detective,
bit her finger, and were escaping when
several employees interfered, and they were
led to the Office.
The silk. Miss Alexander says, was
found in cleverly devised shoplifters bags
pulling a cord the women could open the
bottom of the bags, and the contents
would be dropped upon the floor.
A telpebone message was sent to the
West Thirteenth street police station,
aud Detective Wolf responded. He turned
the Gold berg woman over to policeman
Conway and took charge of Mrs. Weise
himself. lie had reached Iwenty-six
street when he noticed tnat the woman
was chewing on something, and upon
investigation discovered that it was the
cord which was attached to the bag she
wore. He ordered her to drop 1t, but
had to force her mouth open to get pos
session OF the cord.
Then the infuristed woman turned
upon the detective anc fought furiously
for her freedom. A crowd quickly col
Iccted, and, not knowing the circum-
stances, cheered the woman on. Wolf
struggled with her and finally succeeded
in placing hanocoffs upon her wrists.
Then she submitted quietly to arrest.
When srraigned in the Jefferson Market
police court the women seemed to bt
perfectly familiar with their surrounding
and pleaded not guilty. When asked
whether they had a lawyer, they said no.
but asked for en- adjournment until toda,
at O'Clock when they said they would
have somebody in court to look out fol
their interests. Magistrate Flammer helc
the women in $1,000 bail eacn for exami

That Alrship.

During the past ten days almost every
daily paper in the Northwest has been
filled with fake reports from various
points of an airshir traversing the west
ern sky at remarkable speed and grad
ually descending until it disappeared in
the murky atmosphere of the horizon.
At first the reports were listened to with
some credullty, but when they began to
come in from all over the Northwest
and told of how the supposed aerial nav
igator was sighted at identically the
same time, credulity gave way to ridi-
cule and short telegrams to column arti-
cles that would have done credit to
Munnchausen. New Ulm came in for
its share of notoriety and aided the Pio-
neer Press in treating itself to some very
clever advertising. Thousands of people
began to make oath that they had seen
the mysterious visitor and that to them
it had every appearance of being an air.
ship with different colored lights and
signals. Some even went SO far as to
detect the outlines of the boat and pas
sengers ...s-. s,@
But Notwithstanding their earnestne IS
in the matter they have been deceived.
All this while they have been gazing at
nothing more than star. 4 .
This star, which has the appearance
of bright, glittering object, close to
the earth's surface, is to be seen in the
west, at first half way from zenith to
horizon, at about eight o'clock in the
evening. At what seems to he rapid
rate of travelling, 1t takes course along
the horizon, gradually decending until
it suddenly disappears. The star is
none other than Alpha Orionis, which
astronomers tell us has been navigating
space in an eccentric manner for ten
million years. Mr.. Corrigan, the St..
Paul astronomer, says: "The appare mt
wavering or dancing motion Of the
star is peculiar to all stars in similar po-
s1tions in the sky, and is caused by the
irregular refraction of the rays of light,
and is only an optical illusion. 1t is
ridiculous to suppose that there is really
such motion of the star. The change
of color is also due solely to atmospher-
ic Influences"
