TRAVELS OF 4 THIMBLE.
Found in n Mans Shoulder After it
Was Swallowed.

From the San Francisco Call.
LuclIus Miller, who for a long time re-
sided in Oakland, Cal, believes he is carry
ing in his left shoulder a silver thimble that
he swallowed forty years ago. He will soon
submit to ar operation to have the sup
posed thimble removed.
Forty years ago Miller was a very little
fellow He was playing around his moth
er's feet while she was doing some sewing
knock was heard at the door. Mrs. Mil
Ter answered it, and when she returned her
silver tkimble could not be found. The lit
tie boy said he had swallowed it, but his
story was hardly ere dited, although nothing
more was ever seen of the thimbe
A generation passed away, and Miller be-
gan TO be troubled with a slight swelling a
the back of the left shoulder. Little by lit
tie the swelling grew and hardened, and it
was supposed that a cancer was growing.
He was examined by some doctors, and it
was suggested that the trouble might be
caused by the long-lost silver thimble. Dur
ing the last three months it has been pos
sible to move the source of the trouble be-
tween the fingers and to be assured that it
is a thoroughly hard substance. Mr.. Miller
and his sister. Miss Lavonia Miller are now
staying on Treat avenue. San Francisco.
and they are both convinced that the silver
thimble has worked up into his shoulder.
There can be no doubt, said Miss Miller
that the little thimble so long lost has
pCch iouIdJ dilioISl we CilluCl understand
how it could get into his shoulder The
thimble was very SIN all one, and we be-
lieve that my brothers trouble is caused
by it,
Not long ago. Mr. Miller decided to have
the thimble-or whatever it is-removed. He
decided to go to the Cooper Medical College
and have it cut out He went to the col
lege and soon as he entered he heard
the gToans Of a man on the operating
table. Miller at once concluded that it was
more comfortable to carry the thmble
around in his shoulder than to submit to
the knives of the surgeons on the operating
table. He walked quickly to his wheel, flew
away from the hospital, and now his reia-
attempt.
Some doctors to whom the incident has
been told declare that if the thimble shall
be found in Mf1fer's shoulder it will be one
Of the most remarkable things ever chron-
icled in surgery.

VICTIMS OF SHORT SKIRTS.
Coytesville Folk Supplied thePerform-
ance, Kicking Themselves

Fort Lee, N. J., March 2S.-For ten
days posters showing women dancing
all kinds of fancy steps and wearing
short skirts in flaming colors have been
decorating the dead walls and store
windows of Coytesville. The show was
to take place last night, in Rambo's hall.
Two glib young men hired the hall at
an expense of IS, as advance money, and
billed the neighborhood. They gave
away a few tickets for hanger priv
ileges, but said that, owing to the high
cost of their artists, they could not be
as liberal as they would like.
Last night one of the two presided at
the box office and raked in half dollars
rapidly as he could handle them. The
other took the tickets. When the hour
for the show arrived a young man who
had been aiding them in their work,
and was to receive free admission as a
recompense, was called to the door and
was asked to take in any more money
that came along while they went behind
the stage to see that the show went on
all right. He obliged them and the two
strangers got out of town.
An hour later a posse of swindIed
citizens of CoytesVille arrived here and
guarded the ferry. but the young men
must have escaped by trolley to Hacken-
sack. They got away with about 500.

PREACHER WENT TOO FAR.
When He Said We Were a "Perjured
Nation" He Was Invited to Quit

Chicago, March 2S.-The Rev. George
D. Heron, a minister with socialistic
proclivities, was invited by DR.. H. w.
Thomas to fill his place in the pulpit
of the Peoples church during DR.. Thorn
as visit to North Carolina for his
health. Prof. Heron has aired his
views since the first Sunday in March.
He is a strong speaker and his terse
epigrams and vigorous comparisons, all
aimed at wealth and social political con-
ditions, that are usually the target of
such radical orators, have been ap-
plauded by DR.. Thomas congregation.
Last Sunday Prof. Heron discussed
the subject of expansion and the
policy of the administration concerning
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
In his sermon he said:
1--WE are a perjured nation. We have
not been true, but we have been false
to the islands of the sea in the violation
of our pledges to them"
This utterance stirred up the church
trustees, many of whom are ex-SoldierS
and some Grand Army men. A meeting
was called and it was decided that the
preacher had had all the rope he de-
served and that it was time to shut him
off. a committee was appointed, with
President NJ. p. Gilbert as spokesman,
to call upon the professor today and no
tify him that he had made his last ap-
pearance before the Peoples church as
it's minister. This was done, and a new
preacher will officiate next Sunday.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, March 28.-
Special Employe of the Treasury De-
partment Charles E. Lewis made one
of the most important captures ofsmug-
glers that has taken place on the Nj
agara border in many years, and to-
day a man who gives his name as R. S.
Johnson and Mrs. Mary oliver and
daughter are in Lockport Jail awaiting
examination on Friday.
The trio gave Hamilton, Ontario, as
their home. Some weeks ago Mr.. Lewis
had his attention drawn to two big
trunks that were frequently going back
and forth between Niagara Falls, On
tario and Hamilton. Sometimes these
trunks We're full and at other times
empty, but at all times were tightly
bound with rope. They were claimed
at both stations by two women. The
women lived in Hamilton and frequent
ly visited this city. They had a board
ing house on each side of the river. The
trunks came full to Niagara Falls, On
tario, and the women transferred the
contents to their room in this city. The
contents of the trunks were Sumatra
leaf wrapper tobacco, on which there is
a, duty of $1.S5 per pound on this side.
Today the women were arrested as they
came across the bridge with tobacco
concealed under their clothing. john
son was arrested in their room. They
have been operating in this vicinity for
nearly ten weeks, and it is estimated
that they have smuggled about 1000
pounds of tobacco in that time.
