WOMEN WHO CATCH THIEVES.
HOW THEY SHOW THEIR CAPACITY
FOR DETECTIVE WORK.

Cleveland, June 25.-St. Louis woman
horse-thief catcher has a rival in Eliza
beth Ingalls,, who lives five miles out of
Cleveland. Miss Ingalls, was asleep in the
extension of her grandfather's house,
when a noise in the stable almost beneath
her window awakened her. She rose and
peeped out of the Stats, just in time to
see two men leading her grandfather's pet
horse out of the stable. The horse had
white rags tied around its hoofs to muf-
fe the sound of its footsteps.
While they were untying the bandages
Miss Ingalls, slipped downstairs and con-
fronted them face to face. One of the
thieves fed, the other showed fight. but
Miss ingalls,, who had taken the precau-
ton to pick up her grandfather's pistol
on the way downstairs, held the privilege
of departing quietly or being arrested.
The only real damage done was in the
escape of the horse, which had walked
away during the parley, and was roofing
up the garden with it's hoofs
The St. Louis girl horse-thlef catcher
was the pioneer of her sex. Horse
thieves are uncommon in st. Louis, con-
sidering that all the blooded supply for
the eastern markets must pass through
that city, and that the temptations are
double what they are in other places. But

Newport, R. L, June 25.-People look to
Newport for summer indications as they
look to the weather bureau for weather
probabilities. London is no surer index of
what the coming season will be than New
port is of what the summer will show
forth, whether it will be in the eyes of the
summer resort hotel men dull" or what
the girls call lively"
All the present indications point to the
word lively" And nothing short of a.
Spanish war could disturb it. Tariff tink-
ers affect it not at all, nor do foreign af-
fairs make themselves felt. The voice of
the money croakers is sienced in the click
ing of the lawn-mowers and the grinding
of the steam rollers along the roads.
Newport is being made ship-shape for
the season, which even at this date is
what the paragraphers call well under
way"
There have been years when great viii

season there will not be a closed door

and settle into differences.
The most pronounced early sensation is
that Chauncey NJ. Depew has taken a
cottage here for the summer. 1t is one
of the Pinard cottages, on Narragansett
avenue. Here our Chauncey will keep
open house until October For many
years Dr. Depew has gone abroad every
June to remain until September. But
last year. during his absence. his friend
and business partner. Cornelius Wander

partners cannot summer in Europe az the
same time, so Chauncey comes to New
port to keep house, while his friend comes
later to open the famous Breakers"
The oldest thing about the Depew cot
tage is that IL is located directly across
the way from the Wilson villa, where the
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jrs.. live. AS
Chauncey goes out walking, cycling or
driving he must meet young Nicely face

that DR.. Depew has selected this location

means two spreads, one a super served at
