A French Pickpocket.

There is a dilettantism even in
thieving. A Parisian pickpocket who
is now enjoying q well-earned rest
from the excitements Of his profession,
has revealed some of his very curious
methods. At one time he donned the
uniform of an officer of marines, dec.
Grated with the Legion of Honor. and
found his way into the society Of
naval officers, much to their detriment
and to his own enrichment. At an
other time, in the guise of priest, he
visited ecclesiastical establishments,
and under the pretext of charity re.
lieved the holy fathers Of their little
superauous cash. Then again he
would array himself in ordinary civ
ilian dress, representing himself as a
silk merchant, and would have bales
of that commodity sent to his address.
Then the dealer in bicycles became
the victim of this versatile swindler.
At last, as his repertoire necessarily
became limited, and as his fame had
preceded him to one of his intended
victims, he had the misfortune to be
recognized and handed over to the
police. Westminster Gazette.

The Beggars, Queen.

Mendicants are to have their nominal
queen at one of the forthcoming
carnival masqueiades. The person
selected to act as Refine des Gueux is
not, however, of the begging fraternity,
and her title only syn bolizes an old
fashioned custom, which is to be re-.
vived. She is a young woman Of
eighteen, or thereabouts, who, every
day, helps her parents to sell cow
heel and calves heads in the central
markets. Her reign is to begin and
end on the Mi -Careme festival, when
she will shut up shop, and, arrayed in
gala robes, will be carried in triumph
around Paris, with an accompanying
king and maids of honor. Such fetes,
with their symbolic attractions, form
the chief amusements of the Paris
market people, who rise early and
work hard throughout the year

Drawing Water Under Fire.

The following breezy anecdote of
the Santiago campaign is sent to the
Youths Companion by Rough Rider.
He was wounded in the blockhouse
fight, but lives to tell the story.
A fruitful source of suffering, and
one of the principal causes of the dis
ease which later assaulted our ranks
was the lack of good drinking water.
During the lurid first of July the San
Suan River, rolled and muddied by
constant fording, furnished our only
means of liquid refreshment; and in
deed it continued to be our chief
source of supply throughout those
weary days spent in the trenches be-
fore the surrender of the city.
On the night of the first, under
cover of darkness, Spanish sharp
shooters took up commanding posi-
tions in trees near all the principal
fords, and made the task of filling
canteens extremely dangerous.
However, we of the Rough Riders
discovered we'll near the blockhouse
on the hill we had taken and were
holding, and from it we drew our
supply of water during the days we
remained in this position. The loca-
ton of the we'll was an exposed one,
and was commanded by the fire of the
sharpshooters posted we'll within the
Spanish lines, where it was difficult
to dislodge them.
Already several men had been hit
while drawing water, SO that when,
on the morning of the third, was
ordered to take pail and accompany
a colored trooper from the Tenth
Cavalry to the well, / knew I was
setting out on a rather hazardous un-
dertaking. In the army, however,
orders are orders, SO 1 took my pail
and started.
My companion was a big, burly
fellow, black as ebony, but q brave
soldier withal, as were all the men Of
that famous regiment. We walked
along under cover of the hill until we
had come to point opposite the well.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-08

General Henry's order prohibiting
the foreclosure of mortgages on Porto
Rican plantations is good illustra-
tion of the benefcent despot so nec-
essary to do things while others are
wrangling as to how they shall be
done. We are finding in our new pos
sessions some fine illustrations of a
doctrine only discussed academically
among ourselves. Our experience,
however, shows the use some of these
rusty doctrines may be put to on oc-
casion. This is not the country in
which to repeat Carlyle's assertion
that a wise, benefcent despot is the
best kind of government, if you can
only find him; but, all the same, we
have given three or four of such rul-
ers to subject populations, and are
getting good results from them.

Two Recent Inventions.

A Texan has patented folding bed
which is suspended from the ceiling
by four pulleys, the ropes running to
q central shaft, which is turned by
pulling rope wound on q wheel car
ried by the shaft, thus drawing the
bed up to the ceiling and holding it
out of the way.
A Rhode Island woman has patented
a neat skirt litter, having pins ar
ranged in the under side of the skirt,
with loops on the pins, to which are
attached strips of tape, threaded back
and forth from the loops to the waist
band, SO that pull on the ends of the
strips gathers up the skirt.-Chicago

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-08

The Belgian State Railway possesses
brave hero in the person of Jules
Campion, porter. On January II he
suddenly observed that the signal
light at the Auveriat-Namur Junction
was extinguished. AS he hurried to
the post to rekindle it, he was seized
by two men, thrown to the grorhd,
and stabbed in several parts of his
body. His assailants then made off,
leaving their victim helpless, as they
supposed. But Campion, knowing
that the international express from
Paris was nearly due, in spite of his
wounds, managed to make his way
back to the station, and reused his
colleagues, urging them to examine
the line, as he suspected mischief. 1t
was found that the two escaped
scoundrels had placed huge bar Of
iron across the line, with the evident
intention of wrecking the international
express. The passengers in the train,
as it dashed past the junction, never
dreamed that they owed their safety
to the wounded man lying in the sta
tion.-London Daily News.

Bishop Cheshire EpiscopaD of
North Carolina, who is at present in
the North to secure funds in aid of his
work in the South, says: at would
probably astonish great many north
ern people to know that the only town
in North Carolina where no negro
may either live or own foot of ground
is settled entirely by New England
ers, and that there is not a Southern.

NO MORE slxTEEN-INcH GUNS.
First and Probably the Last For Uncle
Sam VIII Be Tested This Year.

First and Probably the Last For Uncle
Sam VIII Be Tested This Year.
The first and probably the last
monster gun to be built in this coun-
try is nearing completion at Watervliet
arsenal, and, if nothing goes amiss,
may be submitted to its firing tests in
the fall. The finished gun will be
five feet three inches at the muzzle.
Its total length will be few inches
under fifty feet. The powder chamber
will be eighteen inches in diameter by
nine feet in length and will hold for a
full charge over half ton of brown
powder. The proiectile will weigh
2370 pounds. 1t will leave the muzzle
with a velocity of 1000 feet pc,
second, and at this velocity the flying
mass will have q striking energy of
64,084 foot-tons, or sufficient to lift
sixty-four of the biggest freight loco
motives ten feet in the air. at the
muzzle the shell would punch six
teen-inch hole through an iron plate
over a yard in thickness, and at
two miles distance it would pass
through a twenty-seven and half
inch plate.
Notwithstanding its great power
Uncle Sam will probably never build
another, for while the superiority Of
this kind of gun was incontestable
eight or ten years ago, it does not
compare in efficiency with ordnance
of the modern type. For given ap-
preparation Uncle Sam can, by build
