STOLEN TOOLS RECOVERED
One Of the Smith Family Arrested for Petty
Larceny


Upon a John Doe warrant sworn to by
Fred O'Neil, carpenter, a middle-aged
man giving the name of George Chase
Smith was yesterday afternoon arrest
ed by Detectives Steele and Bradish and
lodged in Jail on charge of petty lar
ceny. Smith came to the city a few
weeks ago with dog circus, which
struck hard luck and stranded. The
trained dogs were transported from place
to place in wagon, and Smith has been
taking care of them, having had the
wagon hauled into the yard of E. Moat
a dealer in secondhand vehicles on East
Second street.
The complainant. O'Neil, works for
Moat, repairing vehicles, and about Sat-
urday last missed several tools, which he
had carelessly left lying around. He
reported his loss TO the police, who
found that the missing articles had been
sold in an East First street second
hand store by man answering the
sworn out, but Smith could not be To-
Gated until yesterday. When arrested
and confronted with the secondhand
man to whom he sold the tools, Smith
admitted the transaction, but offered as
an excuse that he thought the articles
belonged to the proprietor of the dog
show and he had right to sell them
to procure money to meet his expenses.
He will be arraigned in the police court
this afternoon.

ANOTHER "INFANT INDUSTRY"

known sometime during the week of the
puligistic carnival in Carson City, says
the San Francisco Call. Stuart had an
idea that he could book Lavigne and
Walcott as one of the attractions for
the great sporting event, but mes
sage from Sam Fitzpatrick, who is La
vigne's manager, to Stuart decided that
question beyond all doubt. Fitzpatrick
said that he would not consent to meet
ing between Walcott and Lavigne, and
after the receipt of the information
Stuart telegraphed to Peter Maher and
received very satisfactory reply.
Now, the general opinion is that
Stuart intends to match Tom Sharkey
against the Irishman, but representa-
tive of the Call learned on Tuesday
evening that Sharkey will not ''cut any
ice" in the fistic carnival of st. Patrick's
day, and that the man who will be
named later to meet Maher is none
other than Jim Jeffries, the cracka- =
jack heavyweight of Los Angeles.
Stuart has heard very favorable re-
ports of Jeffries from men who are ac-
knowledged to be good judges of boxers,
and he therefore rates him as being a
far better man than Sharkey.

HER HEAD WAS LIGHT
An Insane Woman WHO Imagined Her Head
Balloon

Wandering along the sidewalk NUT
tering to herself and acting in a gener-
ally crazy manner, Officer Harris last
evening, at the corner of Main and Win
ston street found a woman about 50
years of age whose mind was evidently
unbalanced When accosted she said
that she did not know her name, but
that her husband had recently died and
gone to heaven where she, or at least
part OF her, was trying to follow him.
Her head, she said was trying to sep
arate itself from her body, and if it
once got loose she was sure that it
would shoot up like a rocket, to the home
in the skies. Seeing that the woman was
utterly irresponsible, the patrol wagon
was called and she was sent to the
county Jail. During the ride to the Jail
the woman was only kept quiet by the
attending officer keeping his hand on her
head to hold it down.
The unfortunate was unable ito give
Ineligible answers to questions, AMI
could tell nothing of her name residence
or friends. She will be held for exam
ination by lunacy commission.
The name of the unfortunate woman
was this morning discovered to be Lillian

G. S. Hastings, the medical electri-

to secure the necessary $4,000 bond to

young colored girl found in Hastings
den, suffering from the effects of
criminal operation, was yesterday re-
ported as somewhat improved, and the
attending physicians think that she will
recover unless an unexpected relapse
should set it. There are known to be at
least two other cases in the city where

Then there others who for business rea-
sons seem afraid to act. Some of them
consume. the oil in their plants, others
furnish the oil men supplies and wish
therefore to remain on the best terms
with all interested. The regulation of
the industry is what is needed. There
was an ordinance at one time prohib-
iting the erecting of a boiler within a
certain number of feet of residences
within a defined territory. But what
did they do, but put their engine at one
place and their boiler at another just
without the limit. That's the way they
got around it. Then, too, the attorney
who drew the ordinance after leaving
office turned right around and attacked
his own ordinance, claiming it was un-
constitutional. But then If you want the
legal status and history of the case
sometime 1 will give it to you. I do not
wish to injure any man or embarrass
him in his business, but the way affairs
are being managed in the oil region is

top like the one illustrated. The sticks
are in black pearl, and the mousseline
de sole is black, with black silk at the
edge eXquisitely painted with cupids
and figures in Louis XVI. costumes.
Faillettes are distributed over the sticks
and all. Fans of white mousseline
with fine Brussels lace on the edge and
tortoise shell sticks are the daintiest lit
tie trifles imaginable. Medallions of
silk set in point lace and painted with
NEUROLOGICAL figures and finished with
mother-of-pearl sticks are the modern
reproduction of the Louis XIV. fan, but
in the old days these fans were of parch-
ment or fine leather.
Large sums of money can be invested
in this little article of dress, and some
of the later limitations of this old style
cost from $50 to 81 900, according to the
tineness of the workmanship. A fan of
green silk painted with violets, with
violet wood sticks stained green, is a
charming little novelty. Much less eX-
pensive are the Chinese fans of fine
crepe painted with flowers.-N. Y. Sun.

MISS BAuDET'S EYES.
From Hazel the French Actress Had
Them Changed to Black.

From Hazel the French Actress Had
Them Changed to Black.
Miss Louis Baudet's eyes on her last
visit to this country were light hazel.
Now they are a dark, rich brown, which
at times deepens into jetty black. The
change in the tint of Miss Baudets
eyes was brought about by Prof. Henri
Placide Dumont, the famous Partisan
oculist, demonstrator-in-chi at the
Paris eye hospital, chief operator at the
Ophthalmic institute, and member of
many scientific societies. Miss Bau-
det's hair is rich, reddish brown. The
actress suggested one night to Prof.
Dumont that he ought to remedy ma
ture's unllindliness and make her eyes
the same color as her hair. So he con-
sented. The operation was simple.
Miss Baudet was prepared for it by a
three days bathing of her eyes with
liniments which softened the eX-
terror of the ball Then followed
some days confinement in darkened
room. Next she subjected her eyes to
vapor arising from chemicals, the COM
ponents of which are only known
to the professor. She says she Smoked"
her eyes for an hour or more daily for
one week. They soon began to change
color. Little patches of brown ap-
pcared on the clear hazel. These
patches spread until the color appeared
mottled. Dumont suspended opera
tions for a week, and then resumed
them. The smoking" was continued
for three days longer, at the end of
which time Miss Baudet's eyes were of
the rich hue they are now. She de-
clares that her eyesight is better than
ever.
DR.. e. S. Peck, of No. SO West Fiftieth
street, New York, has turned the eyes
of animals different colors. He caused
n rabbit to have one red and one green
eye. He said: 'The eyeball is rotated
inward by means of forceps, a hypoder-
mic syringe is passed through the back
part of the white of the eye containing
weak solution of permanganate of
potash, or of yellow or red prussiate of
potash, or of nitrate of silver, or of SOL
ublc Prussian blue. In few hours
these fluids will have entirely traversed
the vitreous humor of the eye and will
have passed through the canal outside
of the lens and into the anterior cham
Der in front, and will finally be forced
under the colorless external coat of the
eyeball. The length of time for such
transmission varies in different animals
and with different fluids. The usual
time spent in these transmissions is
from three to six hours in the human
eye."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A crow which haunts the Mid-Surrey
links at Richmond, is bit of humor-
ist. He has played such pranlks with
the golfers balls that the subject has
been discussed by the committee. He
appears to hover in attendance on
players who use nice new white balls;
''rel-ades," or balls that have been
played with before, and on which the
paint has Clipped, receive none of his
embarrassing attentions Recently two
players were approaching one of the
holes, one player using new ball, the
other a ball that had been played with
before. On walking towards their
balls the players were astonished to
see the crow alight near them, examine
first one ball and then the other, event
ually rejecting the older ball, and fly
ing away with the new one in his beak.
The crow took the ball over into some
marshy ground beyond the boundary
of the links, where the caddie, in hot
pursuit, could not follow him. The
bird dropped the ball for an instant,
looked sideways with merry twinkle
in his eye, as much as to say: Don't
you wish you may get it?" picked the
ball up again, and with offensive assur-
ance flew back over the heads of the
players to his haunt in Kew gardens

"There are five artists at the head of

quilt. Attachment with the household
electric system will give ali the cur
rent that is needed.
In case the heat is excessive and
threatens to scorch the bather, there is
fuse at one end of the quilt which in
stantly melts at the danger point, and
the current is shut off automatically.
Physicians who have tested the new
thermogen believe it will be great aid
to them in connection with the operat-
ing table. In long operations where arti-
fetal means are required to sustain the
patients temperature, instead of hot
blankets and hot water now in use, the
electric quilt will give a steady and even
temperature. 1t will also be used in
cases of chronic rheumatism. The in
ventor claims for his idea that the
household uses for it are without num-
ber.
The thermogen will be of the greatest
value to persons who have just taken
chill. Sometimes they do this at an
hour when it is impossible to obtain hot
water, and in any case the heating sys-
tenn of the quilt is said 10 be more bene-
fetal than water. A man comes home
tired and chilled, slips into the quilt
and, perhaps, a dangerous illness is
averted. 1t should be the means of saw
ing many lives.
After using the quilt it will be found
pleasant to take a cold sponge bath.
This can be taken with comfort after
the body has been generally heated by
the thermogen. There are MANY too
delicate to stand immersion in cold wa
ter, still the quilt, it is claimed, will be
of value to invalids.-N. Y. Journal.
