move up to the Filipino front.
Considerable time will be required

A DEN OF THIEVES.
The r1OretOWn RobberieS Have
Been Unveiled,

For some time past there has been g
great mystery surrounding the business
men of Moretown owing to the strange
disappearance of goods from the stores
of Messrs. TAYLOR, Ward, and Wilcox
This has been going on for long
time and no solution could be arrived at
until yesterday.
Monday afternoon Mrs Mary Simonds
and Mrs. Rose Abbott were arrested on
suspicion of being the shop lifters. The
States Attorney was communicated with
and yesterday NJ. M. Gordon took JUS
tice A. q. Fay to Morotown when the
case was heard.
1t appears that the two women had
been in the habit of driving up in front
of store leaving Mis-. Simonds' son
Fred in the wagon, and going inside
one of them would attract the attention
of the clerk while the other one took
the goods. Then they would 90 back
to the team, concealng the merchandise
under their capes. Monday the mer-
chants had the wagon searchad and they
found II large quantity of store goods.
The boy Fred ran home about mile
and warned his father. The officers hur-
ried to the house and got there just in
time to prevent Il quantity of the stolen
property from being burned. They
reached the house and found enou h
table linen and towels to stock large
hotel.
Whether this was peddlers depot or
what disposition they were accustomed
to make of the stolen property is un-
known.
The women were brought before JUS
tice Fay. M. Nj. Gordon prosecuting, 10
answer to three offenses each. Both
pleaded guilty, Mrs. >imonds was fined
$15 and costs for each offence with al
tentative sentence. Mrs. Abbott, who
was formerly well known resident OF
"Tough End"i Barre under the name
of Rose Gotta. was sentenced to not less
than months nor more than 9 in the
house of correction. The boy Fred was
convicted and sent to the industrial
school for the remainder of his minority.

The Coming Century.

Judging by the progress OF inven-
ton, the coming century will give to
life all of the material comforts and
happiness that any reasonable mortal
could ask. At least the workers in
natural science are doing their part
nobly. All of the forces of nature are
being subdued to the use of man.
The Patent Record, the mouthpiece of
modern invention, told in its last is
sue something of the vast possibilities
of liquid air. Now it has to tell of
wireless biography, and an invention
by French savant, Mr.. Georges Jou-
bert, capable of restoring to vitiated
air its original life-giving qualities.
With four pounds of it a man could
live for twenty-four hours in a box
Theoretically sealed. With this sub.
marine navigation would be easy
Firemen in metal helmets could walk
through fire and smoke unframed
Miners imprisoned thousands of feel
underground could breathe as freely
as in the open fields. 1t is one of the
great discoveries of century wonder
full in invention. More is promised ir
the future.

Lemons as Medicine.

Lemon juice sweetened with loaf OF
crushed sugar will relieve cough.
For feverishness and unnatural
thirst soften lemon by rolling on a
hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar
and work it down the lemon with a
fork, then suck slowly.
During the warm months sense of
GOODNESS, comfort and inauguration
can be produced by the use of lemon
ade. For six large glasses of lemon
ade use six large, juicy lemons, roll on
hard surface SO that the juice can be
easily extracted. Peel and slice. Add
sufficient sugar to sweeten and stir
it we'll into the juice before adding the
water.
Hot lemonade will break up a cold
If taken at the start. Make it the
same as cold lemonade, only use boil
ing water instead of cold water, and
use about half rs much sugar.
A piece OF lemon or stale bread
moisten.d with lemon juice, bound on
q corn, will cure it. Renew night and
morning. The first application will
produce soreness, but if treatment is
persisted in for reasonable length Of
time a cure will be effected.
The discomfort caused by sore and
tender feet may be lessened, if not en-.
tirely cured, by applying slices Of
lemon to the feet.
To cure chilblains, take piece oil
lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and
rub the feet we'll. Repeat if necessary
Lemon juice will relieve roughness
and vegetable stains on the hands
After having the hands in hot soap
suds rub them with a piece of lemon
This will prevent chapping and make
the hands soft and white.

A Self.Steerins Bicycle.
Chicago Chronicle.

A bicycle without any semblance of
a handle bar, but which is steered en-
tirely by the motion OF the riders
body, is the invention of Simon Metz
ger. of Lima, IL. In the construction
of this machine the stem of the steer.
ing wheel is supplied with rearward.
ly extending steadying bar, having a
spring causing it to bear slightly on a
support. This pressure is sufficient ia
hold the wheel steady, but not great
enough to interfere with its free mo.
ton, so that it yields to every motion
of the body. The fork of the front
wheel is turned slightly under instead
of outward, and the steering wheel il
slightly smaller than the other, where
by the guiding of the machine is rem
dered more easy. The steadying bal
also offers means of steering by the
hand in case of any sudden emergency

Chicago Tribune.

Henry Dipcomb, well-to-day farm
or near Malinta, o., has two fair
daughters. Frances. aged p, and
Mary not quite H.. They were adj
mircd hv all the young swains OF the
community, but two young men from
Fulton county, Frank Benson and
David Rendice, became the acknowl-
edged suitors and iayorites OF the
las,es several months ago
The young men have been close
chums from boyhood up and it was
only natural that when they became
hctrothed to the two Dipcomb daugh-
tiers they should exchange condolences,
and in time the four young people de-
cided upon a double wedding. The
wedding was to take place on Thurs
day evening and the young men armed
with their licenses, put in appearance
shortly after noon. Frank Benson
was to marry Frances, while Mary was
the promised wife OF young Rendice.
Frances greeted the young man
gayly when they arrived at the Dip.
comb home, but Mary was not to be
seen. Her sister later on found her
in her room, weeping and disconsolate.
Appealed to for an explanation, she
at length confessed between sobs that
She could not marry Rendice, because
she loved Benson better.
The other sister replied that she
loved one of the young men rs we'll as
she did the other. Mary limited at an
exchange and the two sisters conf
IDENTIFY talked the matter over. Then,
without word to the old folks, they
called the young men into council.
The CONSERVATION and surprise on
their parts cab we'll be imagined. The
situation was carefully discussed with
the astounding result that the ex-
charge was agreed to all around.
Then another complication presented
itself. The licenses had been procured,
but the young men were quickly on
their way to the county seat, where
new licenses we're secured and they
reached the DipcOmb mansion late in
the evening, VIXEN for the first time,
the guests were acquainted with the
cause of the delay and the real situa-
ton at the two couples were united in
marriage by a local minister.

Electricity In the Pyramids.
Philadelphia Bulletin.


1t is said that plan is under con-

for the lighting of the Pyramids by
electricity and the installation of an
electrical power transmission plant OF
$4,000 horsepower. The plan in.
wolves the erection of power-generat.
ing plant at the Assouan falls on the
river Nile. The current will have to
be transmitted over 100 miles, through
the cotton growing district, where it
is thought the provision of cheap
power from this source will permit
the building of cotton factories. Part
of the scheme contemplates the light
ing from this source of the interior
corridors of the Pyramids, and also
