EXCITING CHASE AFTER
AN ALLEGED THIEF
Hundreds OF Men and Boys Pursue
n FashiOnabiy Dressed Man
I'm Nnxp NnrI.


New York. Dec ga man dressed in
the height of fashion ran at full speed
down Sixth Avenue, near Twenty-fifth
Street yesterday. AT his heels a crowd of
men and boys followed, yelling stop
thief" BY the time he reached Twenty
fifth Street five hundred persons were pur-
suing him.
With hat pulled tightly down upon his
head the sped on like a sprinter, and
seemed to have a chance of escape, when
near Twenty fifth Street, Policeman James
Troy joined in the chase. He was fresh
and athletic, and began to gain.
The fugitive turned down Twenty fifth
Street toward Seventh Avenue, but the
long run had told upon him, and he began
to show signs of distress. He unbuttoned
his overcoat, but the garment only caught
the wind and retarded his progress. At
Seventh avenue he was exhausted, and
Troy rushed forward and made him a pris-
oner.
He gave his name as James ALLIE but re-
fused to give any address His pursuers
informed the policeman that he had brok-
en- into furrier's show case in Sixth Ave-
nue..
Buttoning his fashionable overcoat about
him, readjusting his hat smoothing tie
of latest design, and donning a red kid
glove that had been missing from one
hand, Allie nonchalantly retraced his steps
with the policeman to the fur store of
Otto Wassersenn at No. 407 Sixth Avenue.
There it was asserted that he had broken
into the case of furs standing in front of
the store and had attempted to steal a fur
cape valued at $25.
Policeman Troy took Allie TO police
| headquarters. There he was recognized,
and it was said he had recently been re-
leased from the Elmira Reformatory, after
serving seven years.
He was taken from headquarters to the
jefferson Market court. where he was held
in $500 to answer a charge of burglary.

American money would be accepted in the
custom house. He assured the present en-
ployes there that President Mckinley de-
sires that native help be employed, so far
as possible, and for that reason most Of
those with clean records will be temporar-
lily retained. Those who have been in po-
sition where dishonesty was possible will
have to go, no matter what record they
may show. 1t was also made plain by Col.
Bliss that even he appearance of evil will
be enough to bring about dismissal. Alb
sofute honesty in word and deed will be
demanded. .rE
L The relief steamship Comai returned to
Havana today after distributing rations as

OF distributing the provisions is enthusias-
tic over the progress toward prosperity in
the eastern half of 1.-The island, especially
about Sagua la Grande. There people are
returning to their normal pursuits. Every
man without employment is being supplied
with rations for fye days at time and
given 16 acres of land, which he must cul-

From Sagua alone more than 1,200 have

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars.
To Take when Travelling.

Every traveller knows that continuous
journeying on the railroad is very apt to
derange the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there is a contin-
uous jar and vibration, which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat. according to the
strength Of the traveller or his predisposi-
ton to some specific ailment. The most
common consequence of continuous. car
riding is constipation: And this condition
invariably produces headache, and tends
to biliousness. J. J. Converse, St. Louis,
Mo-, found a way to avoid the evil effects
of constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
1.-THE pill that will cure constipation and
all its sequent sufferings. This is what
he says: 80:

Keen Up the Beef Quality.

Our Canadian correspondent places
good deal of emphasis upon the damag-
ing results to the dominion stock indus
try, coming from the crossing of dairy
and beef breeds. This has been very
costly experiment to many of our home
breeders also. Our field correspondents,
in Indiana and Ohio especially, report
whole herds which were formerly Of
good beef type, as now possessing very
few animals that would pass as good
grades. One cross of a dairy bull upon
shorthorns or COWS of other beef breeds,
will produce a cross that is "betwixt
and between and really is not prof
liable animal from any standpoint.
The lesson has been costly one, but
perhaps it will be needed. - Prairie

ceiling. They were hip-roofed, making
them as solid as light material could
make them; then to hold them in place,
four four by four inch posts were set
in the ground IA feet high, with four
plates at the top to hold the posts in
position and keep them plumb. The
roof was placed in position before the
posts were set up, having the corners at
the cave ends of the roof set so as to
permit the roof tc slide upor down on
or between the posts. Holes We're bored
in the posts to put in pins to hold the
roof up. When il is time to begin
stacking, fasten the roof at the top of
the posts and begin the stack between
the posts. Build to finish, or in case
there is not enough hay cut, put in
what there is, stopping work on the
stack for any length of time, take out
the pins and lower the roof down upon
the hay, leaving the hay level, or near
ly so. AS the stack settles, the roof will
follow the hay down and protect it

Ter one great enemy to keeping hay
Is the wind, especially in Kansas.
Many times the farmer gets his hay
and grain stacked up in good condi-

and all OF his labor is swept away, as
lar as the keeping qualities of his stack
nre concerned. Enough hay goes to
waste every year on many farms to
pay Tor lumber to cover it. In Illinois,
years ago, stacks of hay were rooted
