ry and manager of the American Safe

| her shopping bag. She was taken to the

Amid sobs she asked the sergeant to
send for her husband. When the ser

was astonished. She asked if she could
not he permitted to go at once. When the
sergeant toil her bail would have to be

Iatter-Day Magic.

If that blind begGar who had his face
torn off by bear had lived in Brook
lyu and the accident had happened at
the present time, instead of fifty sum-
mers ago. there might have been some
chance for him after all. The doctors
in Il Brooklyn hospital are now engaged
in building a face for man who has
only a part of one, A young man was
brought to the hospital not long ago, in
Il condition which proclaimed him TO be
the victim. not of grizzly bear, but of
his own foolishness. He blew down
the muzZle of a shotgun and lost most
e his face
The doctors regard him as a subject
for a most interesting experiment. They
will make him new nose of rubber or
celluloid, of any shape he may desire,
They will replace the cheek bone and
thu bone over the eye by plates of sill
yer OF platinum They will hen graft
skin on the bare surface, 2Ed the re-
suit will be face. The lost eye will be
replaced with one Of glass. Most men
will not envy the youth his experience.
I Ut il seems to be the best thing that
can be done for him under the circum-
stances If Matun, the old blind beg
gar. could hear of it he would say that
The young man was fortunate in that
he viii now be able to exhibit an arti-
fetal face instead of the place where a

The marvels of modern surgery would

| that the witchcraft of the Middle Ages
was the forerunner Of some of the
mind-cures of the present day; FOR per-
sonal magnetism and hypnotic power
| have always been possessed by some
persons. and these phenomena must
have been grewsome things TO see when
they were not understood. But the Wild
est achievements of the witch and wiz
ard never extended to the feat of MAX

prived OF his own. Science is the mod

New York. Dee. 10-'No appointment to
the Court of ST. James will be made unit!
the Spanish treaty is signed. President
Mckinley favors the appointment OF Jo-
seph n. Choate, and will name him a.
ambassador 70 Great Britain If no fur
ther complications arise in settling affairs
with Spain
II such complications do arise it Is
more than probable that Andrew d.
White by far the most experienced dip
lomat we have abroad, may be transfer
red from the Court of Berlin TO that of
st James. He has studied the European
situation for years and knows foreign as
We'll a ) American feeling"
This statement was made yesterday by
one Of the best known Republicans of this
State and intimate friend of Senator
Plat. From other sources ii was found
that Mr.. Choate's friends practically had
been told the same thing. Mr. Choat :
has had TWO Interviews with President
Mckinley By personal invitation of the
Executive, and has been assured %;
his appointment unless present conditions
should change.
Mr. Choate does not want the ambassa-
I dorship 10 Berlin. and in case Professor

probable that Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford

Always Correct.

New York, Dec. 1O.-Col. Roosevelt may
yet be forced to relinquish his desire TO
appoint Judge Daily to a supreme jus
ticeship. 1t is becoming more and more
apparent to the governor-elect that Sen
ator PIatt is a hard man TO down The
chief engineer OF the machine has not
forgotten his cunning. He has been in the
habit of running over every obstacle on
the track, and does not propose thus
easily TO allow himself to be forced TO
stand aside in anything pertaining to what
he considers the welfare of the machine.
Republican governors have been in the
habit of consulting the Senator in the
matter of appointments. Mr.. Platt does
not think the incoming administration
should establish new precedent He
hopes to impress the governor-eiect on
this point.
However, Col. Roosevelt puts up very
bold front He remarked yesterday to
several friends that he was for the orSanl-
zation-meaning the machine-when the
organization was right Otherwise he
would proceed as his own judgment and
conscience dictated.

men who supported Roosevelt during the
campaign made call yesterday They

recognition was to be given the race when
the plum pickings begin. The considera-
ton they received from the colonel was
that if they agreed upon man ana
place the candidate presented should have
due consideration.
The goyernor-elect proposes TO devote all
the time possible from the beginning OF
next week until after Christmas in the
! preparation of his inaugural address.
/ During that period he will admit to his
/ political presence only such men as make
/ an engagement with him in writing be-

the family to know what to do in case
of emergency. Every one knows tnat
when a persons clothing is On Ire, he
or she should be wrapped in rug or
rolled over on the ground, and the
burning garments torn away if possible.
Few people, in spite Of this knowledge,
can train their nerves and muscles to
instant action in case of sudden need.
1t is much easier to have presence of
mind in the face OF peril when the thing
to be done is perfectly familiar than it
is to consider what to do and how to do
it in the mere moment given for
thought 1t is hard to think and
act al the same time, and action in such
a case should be instructive and die
tated by habit.

Not Miss Stttely's AssaiIanf.

Rockville, Md, Dec ia deputy sher
iff, of Frederick. arrived here yesterday
morning with Miss Theresa Stitely. the
young lady who was brutally assaulted
by tramp near her fathers home, Mon
day afternoon. The young lady came
here for the purpose of identifying n
tramp who was arrested near here in the
woods Thursday and who answered the
description of her assailant. The prison
er was taken before Miss Stitely about
noon. The young lady scrutinized him
closely and finally said she thought he
was not her asSailant. She said that he
answered the description. as he wore a
brown suit and cap $similar to the one
worn by the tramp who assaulted her,
but he did not have pointed shoes or a
red handkerchief about MS neck The
fact of his having a smooth face also
puzzled her and rendered it extremely
difficult for her TO identify him. This
evening the young lady said she appreci-
ated the grave responsibility that rested
upon her in identifying her assailant. Il
am very careful" she said. lest
should make a mistake and accuse the
wrong man." After Miss Stitely failed
to identify him he was released from Gus
tody by Sheriff Thompson Miss Stitely
left on the evening train for her home.

a Brainy Dog.

There is 3 dog in New Buffalo, Ohio,
which deserves a medal from the HUI
mane society and an easy life for the
rest Of its days. One hesitates to call
its courage and devotion almost hu-
man." after the usual manner of COM
menting on such things. because some
men are so much less admirable than
that dog that it seems rather like an in
suit to the dog. The wife of farmer

started To run, but the dog, who hap
pened 10 be with her. jumped upon her
and threw her down, and with its teeth
tore off her burning garments, though
il received severe burns in the process.
The men of the household were not
very far away. but they do not figure
in this incident at all. That is one rea-
son why it seems inappropriate to cali
this animal human in its intelligence.
The woman. though badly burned, is
not in danger of her life, and the dog
is the more seriously injured of the
two.
There are two thoughts which sug-
gest themselves ia connection with this
incident One is that there ought 10 be

animals. They should be rewarded in
the only way they can underslanG-by

the municipality a purely business cor
