She looked for them, asked for them,
and implored the driver to find them
for her. saying that she valued them not
only because they were costly. but be-
cause they were given to her as
Christmas present by very dear
friend. The driver insisted that he
knew nothing of them, had not seen
them. had not turned around once in his
seat, and suggested that they might
have fallen out of the carriage. He
promised to drive Immediately back
over the route to look for them. This
he did, and returned to inform the lady
that they could not be found.
''The hotel proprietor reported the
case to police headquarters, and I had
no difficulty in locating the driver. be-
cause know all of them. He acknowl-
edged having waited on the lady. and
he brought nine hackmen who swore
that they had seen him driving rapidly
back. looking for the furs, as he in
formed them at the time. Two OF the
hackmen testified that they accom-
panied him in his diligent search for
the lost furs. Long after the lady had
left Washington. l learned how the
trick had been performed, but could
never locate the furs. and hence there
has been no prosecution"
So much for the hackmen. These in.
stances of their criminal practices
should be sufficient to warn all readers
against employing hackmen here, with
out knowing something of them.
Now as to the policemen. The force
in the national capital is in better con-
dition than it has been for years. Maj.
Sylvester, the chief, has been newspa-
per man all his life, but has been also
employed at police headquarters for a
number of years. He was appointed to
his present position less than two
years ago, by President Mckinley, who
has personally known him for long
time. He has taken hold of his work
with vigor. vigilance and integrity,
He has paid especial attention to the
inspection of his force, and has con-
slant information concerning the char
acter and work of every man. The po-
iiceman who neglects his duties now
cannot remain on the force, for his
ierclictions will be discovered.
There is restaurant on Seventh
street, within two blocks of police head
quarters, where many business men
and department clerks go for their
lunches, because they are served in
German style and the cooking is excel
lent. About 1880 o'clock yesterday.
a big policeman entered the back room
took off his helmet. belt, coat and
waistcoat, and sat down to lunch. He
first drank glass of beer, and then or
dered another glass of beer with his
lunch. He had not been there more
than five minutes, when in walked Ma
Sylvester, his chief. The major picked
up the helmet, belt and club. and
walked away with them, without say.
ing word to the officer. That was
sufficient notice that he was discharged.
How Maj. Sylvester knew the man
was there nobody knows, and the Off
Ger is probably guessing.

Flowers In the Hair.

There never was and never will be
style as pretty as the wearing of
flowers in the hair. Wreaths of fine
flowers. like rosebuds, forget-me-nots,
heather or the small fruits are pretty
surrounding for young faces, and clus-
tiers of flowers worn low on the hair.
just behind each ear. as the japanese
girls wear them, are becoming to about
everybody. y real beauty needs moth
ing more than single flower placed
among her tresses. a fad of the mo-
ment is to select some one flower and
hold it as we do our favorite perfume.
1t is repeated in the many ways known
10 milliners and dressnakers, and is one
of the few fads which bears relation to
common sense. A pretty woman gains
an added charm from the choice of a
flower which she wears in her hair, eth
er twisted into garland or wound IN
her tresses. or tucked behind her ear
or pinned somewhere to her gown or
jacket. There is always charm in va
riety. and flowers are capable of giving
it-DefrOit FrPp Press

Or that tea things ard cheese and bit OF

Just a window to raise, and step to go,
And there lay our garden and lawn in one,

that she had given him only one dol
lar. He called five hackmen, who at
once said they were ready to swear
that the culprit had come back to the
stand and shown them a one dollar bill,
saving that it was more than he had
expected to get. The fellow could not
be convicted, and SO / did not arrest
him. The lady said she would rather
lose the money than appear in court.
THAT is one of the reasons that hack
men thrive on dishonesty. Their pecu-
lations are small, and they know thar
respectable people dread going to po-
lice court as witnesses; and SO the
hackmen take chances on rObbing them
whenever they can.
''Only few days ago noticed a dis
cussion between a hackman and a
stranger near the Shoreham hotel, and
I sauntered over to see what was GO
ing OH. i heard the stranger say:
when / was here last spring ! only
paid IS cents an hour, and how is it
that you now want to charge me dol
lar?' The hackman at once replied:
'Seventy-five cents is the regular rate;
but you asked me to let down the back
of the victoria, and in such cases we
charge dollar
THAT was point-blank falsehood,
and SO informed the stranger. adj
vised him to hire some other hackman,
and he did SO.
"That hackman driving by in sur
rev is an ex-convict. He served term
in Sing Sing penitentiary for burglary.
He is now under suspicion of associat-
ing with a gang of thieves and is be-
ing watched. He has committed several
small peculations recently, but we can
do nothing with him. That surrey is
not his own. 1t belongs to another
man, who hires him as a driver.
Wouldn't he be a nice sort of a fel-
low for you to trust your wife or daugh-
ter to, for drive about the suburbs?
The police know him. and We know
that he ought not to be allowed to drive

Pretty weddlnx c..tom.

There is pretty wedding custom at
Peru-the origin and the significance
1 could not learn. Some say it is Bib
lical and others that it is an old Moor
ish custom. 1t is customary for the
padrina or godfather of the groom to
hand the padrina or godfather of the
bride tray containing 13 pieces Of
money. 1t may be gold or it may be sill
yer, but there must be 13 pieces, because
Christ and the IL apostles make that
number. The godfather hands the tray
to the bride and she hands it to the
priest and the priest spends the money
for charity.-Lima Cor. Chicago Record.

WHISTLE FOR PRIZE MONEY.
House Naval Committee Against
the $4,000, 900 Appropriation
For Sailors.

Washington, Jan Is. The sailors
will not get the S2,000,OOO in prize
money earned under the regulations
at Santiago. The leading mem
bers of the house naval committee
are against the appropriation, and
the sailors will be referred to the
court of claims. There they will
hang for ten years to poster each
succeeding congress.
The action of the house, Committee
is said to be inspired by antipathy
to Admiral Sampson. He would get
one-twentieth of this sum, or $780,
900. Rather than vote him this
tremendous sum, the house commit
tee is willing to deprive every nav
al officer and sailor of his bit.

he is man of many brilliant at

NOAH FRANKLIN.
The Alleged Murderer of Daisy
Sullivan Gets a New Trial.

Frankfort Ky. Jan. l0.-The YER
dict of the Marshall Circuit Court
sentencing Noah Franklin to con-
fnement in the State penitentiary
for life for the alleged murder of
Daisy Sullivan was reversed by
the Court of Appeals to-day in an
opinion delivered by Judge Hobson.
The chief grounds for the reversal
of Judgment and granting of new
trial were that the rulings of the
lower court in the admission and
rejection of evidence prejudiccd the
substantial rights of the accused,
first by allowing the father of the
murdered girl to detail conyersa-
tion with his wife Immediately after
the killing; second, that Ed How ward,
one of the principal witnesses, was
allowed to give testimony that he
could not substantiate by proof of
conversation had between him and
his father in the absence of the ac-
cused and at a different time and
place from the conversation which
he was called to testify to; third
that there was evidence tending to
show that the witness How ard had
been intimate with Daisy Sullivan,
and that proof of it should have
been admitted, as the proof as to
who killed the girl was purely cir
cumstantial, and if Howard had the
same motive for killing her as APP
pellant this was a competent fact to
be considered by the jury, and
fourth. that appellant should have
been allowed to introduce testimony
tending 70 prove that his shotgun
could not have made the wound
