GIVEN A FAREWELL BANQUET.
Clever Thieves Fed and Given Three
Hours to Leave Town.

Two men being driven from the city
were welcomed to the Brighton Park
police station Friday afternoon, and
after being fed and liquored and
smoked to their hearts content were
placed on a trair. by uniformed es-
cort and given a godspeed on their
journey. They were Con Moriarty
and John Donovan, who were arrested
during the week by Detectives Hard
ing Shaughnessy. of the Maxwell street
station Both men have given the po-
lice plenty of trouble, and when they
were arraigned before Justice Dooley
Friday the magistrate was asked to
show them no leniency.
The court gave them three hours in
which to leave town, and suspended
fine of 500, to be enforced If they were
again found in the city. The two men
sought out Officers Harding and
Shaughnessy and secured from them
letter to the Brighton Park police,
where they purposed boarding a-train
for Oklahoma, stating their business in
that district. They left the Maxwell
street station at noon sharp, and when
they had gone Harding notified the
Brighton Park police to arrest them if
they appeared later than o'clock.
Lieutenant Moore and half a dozen DO
Hcemen laid in wait for the banished
ones, who turned up just five minutes
after their time Of grace had expired.
They were taken to the station and
supplied with a hearty lunch, good CT
gars and refreshing drink of beer.
Then, accompanied by the lieutenant
and police escort, they went to the
depot and sped from the city with a
homely piece Of advice to reform, given
by Moore, ringing in their ears.

During the year 1896, a total Of "a
roads went into the hands of receivers
The roads embraced 5,441 miles Of track,
bonded debts of $173, 1854, 900, capital
stock aggregating $102, 553, 900, and total
bends and stocks Of $275, 597 900. Dur
ing the year "a roads were sold under
foreclosure, representing 1880 miles of
track and 1850, 100000 in capital stock
Many great companies have helped
to swell this list of foreclosure sales,
which, in respect to number Of roads,
has been eQualed in only one previous
year, while in mileage and capita! involv-
ed it far exceeds any other year in the
history of railways. Among the prin-
cipa1 systems that have thus passed
through the costly ordeal of reorganiza-

EAGLE ATTACKS A GIRL.
Her Screams Bring Her Father, Who

saves Her EyeS1ShC.
New York Sun.
The following story is vouched for by
Charles Shriner, chief protector for the
New Jersey fish and game commission:
Garret Van Diem, the caretaker of the
clubhouse Of the Ocean Park associa-
ton, at Cedar Pond, about twenty
miles from Paterson, N j., captured a
bald eagle last week which measures
eight feet from tip to tip. Accompanied
by his seven-year-old daughter, he had
taken a walk on the mountain, and
was returning through the woods to the
clubhouse. 1t was growing dark. The
child became separated from her father,
who suddenly was made aware of her
absence by her screams.
Papa! papa"" she cried, come quick;
it's pecking at my eyes,"
Van Diem ran to her assistance. To
his establishment, he saw her defending
herself against the vigorous attack OF
a big bird which was pecking at her.
At his approach the bird f1uttered
away a short distance. He ran after
it, but the bird, instead Of taking to
flight, hobbled along the ground He,
however, was unable to overtake it,
and so began to stone it. One of the
stones took effect, and the bird was
partly stunned. Van Diem hurried up
to it, and was about to take hold Of it.
when it regained it's feet and turned
savagely upon him.
He retreated, and picking up another
stone once more toppled the bird over
This time he was able to get firm hold
on the bird, but as soon as it came out
of it's comatose state it attacked him
furiously with beck and claws Van
Diem, however. stuck to his prize and
succeeded, after hard fight, in grasp
ing both legs in one hand and it's neck
in the other. He then carried It to the

One beholding these gigantic specimens
Of the female population of tropical At
RIGA realizes how the French could
forget all their gallantry toward wo-
men when opposing those on the bat
tlefield. The Dahomeyan weapon-car-
Tying women certainly did not make
any declaration Of love to the French.
They play with gun and bayonet as if
these weapons of destruction were sun
shades or fans. Fierce battle-crieS are
their music. Their uniform is Of the
simplest and consists of a tunic of
white cotton material, which hangs
loosely around their shoulders and
reaches to a point a little above the
knees. Their skin is jet black, their
eyes sharp and brilliant, their hair
short and woolley. Under the com
mand of their officer, called the Cum
ma" they go through their military
drills with a precision and a vim
which are not only surprising. but
which might serve many a military
company with an Illustration of per
feet eXactnesS in movements. The
place where they exhibit is very
cleverly transformed into an African
village. Huts built Of rushes serve as
lodgings, and the stockade around the
village is adorned with poles, crowned
with skulls Of the foes slain by these
martial women.

BICYCLE PRIVATE MARKS
secret Signs by Which Owners NAV
Identify Their Wheels.

A simple device for concealing a pri-
vate mark on ones wheel IS suggested
by John D. Carroll, chief detective Of
a wheelman's insurance company. In
the event Of the loss Of a wheel the
Identification of such a mark, known
only to the rider, is indisputable proof
of ownership, according to the New
York Journal.
Mr.. CAROLS plan Is that every owner
Of a bicycle should have e. private mark
upon his wheel, but so concealed that
the closest scrutiny by one who does
not know It will fail to discover it. In
stead of mark upon the saddle, or
saddle-post, where a thief would ma
tarally look for it, he suggests that a.
portion Of the enamel, about one inch
square. be. scraprd from the frame Of
the machine. After all trace Of the
enamel has been. removed, apply a

coating Of grease and with a pointed
piece Of steel, dipped in carbolic acid
draw the. initials or private mark
through the grease. The acid follows
the marking Of the steel point, while
the grease keeps it from spreading.
After allowing the acid to eat into
the tubing the grease can be rubbed
off and the mark or initial shows as
plainly as if cut into the steel frame
work. One coat Of enamel will COM
pletely hide al trace of the mark.
Should any question as to the owner
ship Of the wheel arise the owner could
by simply scratching off the enamel
which covered his mark at once prove
his claim. Mr.. Carroll says he has
known cases where wheels have been
stolen from owners by their most init
mate friends.

something which you don't get out Of
a pipe or cigar. l don't think 1 would
give hang for all the cigarettes made
II l were unable to inhale the smoke
that is, to draw it down into my lungs
That, 1 guess, is the principal induce
ment to cigarette smoking. When a
cigarette smoker first begins he smokes
as you are smoking that cigar-that is
he simply draws the smoke into his
mouth and blows it out out again. In
a short time, however, he finds himself
drawing little of the smoke into his
lungs to get that sensation, and then
still more, and as time goes on and he
continues to inhale the smoke, he can
only occasionally get the senation Of
eXhilara ton, but he has fixed the in
halIng habit for all time. 1t makes no
difference to me whether I am smoking
pipe, cigar or cigarette, I take into
my lungs every bit of smoke 1 take

hold the smoke in his lungs quite a
while, too. 1 can slowly drink a. whole
tumbler Of water with a big puff Of
smoke in my lungs all the while You
don't believe that? Come over here"
The reporter followed the young man
over to the icewater stand. He filed a
glass with water, slowly drew into his
mouth long puff of smoke, held it
in his mouth a moment and then it dis
appeared as he drew in long breath
Then the young man lifted the glass
to his lips and with perfect ease drank
the water, swallow by swallow, as slow
ly or more slowly than he would have
under ordinary circumstances. Having
done SO, he laid the empty glass on the
tray Of the stand and then turning
around to the reporter so as to fully
face him, blew a cloud of smoke out Of
his mouth.
Its as easy as rolling off a log"
said the young man. smiling.
