New Orleans Times-Democrat: 81 was
sitting in one of the hotels at the opening
of carnival week, several years ago." said
a veteran detective, "when 1 happened to
notice a well-dressed man engaged in
trimming his finger nails. He used a Pc
culiar, small steel instrument, something
like a pair of nippers, and one would have
aid at a glance that it was some new
kind of manicure tool. I took a second
look at the thing and made a mental pho
tograph of the face of the owner. Early
that evening I saw him sauntering down
St. Charles street to a point where the
crowd was pretty dense, and l made it
my business to follow on behind. He
glided into the crowd, stopped and seemed
to be examining the tops of the buildings
on the opposite side of Canal street. AT
his elbow was a portly gentleman Of pros
porous appearance, and all around the
peOple We're as thick as SardineS in a JOY
In a moment my man moved on n |
pressed forward and glanced Town at the
portly gentleman's vest. just as l eX-
pected, his watch chain was dangling and
while the watch itself was in his pocket
all right enough an expensive Masonic
charm had been cut off at the end near
the buttonhole. In two jumps I had the
fellow and collared him just as he was in
the act of culling a diamond locket. He
was holding the steel nipper in the palm
of his right hand. and with an almost
imperceptible motion he could close the
powerful jaws and cut through the heav-
| lest gold links made. Working with such
a tool in a crowd was like finding none
in the street. and if | hadn't stopped him
, when l did I dare say he would have
| gathered in several thousand dollars
| worth of plumber before dark. He escaped
| prison by giving bond and skipping out.
| No, I wasn't sure of his little game when
| I saw him using the nippers on his nails
| at the hotel, but the instrument was Pc
| culiar, and. besides, it had a crooked
| look. That's as near as | can come to it
in the words. There is something thai
always betrays a tool used by thieves, ]
| don't care how innocent it's general APP
p%earance may be. 1 couldn't mistake q
| Jimmy for a crowbar even il I had my
| eyes shut"

EGYPTIAN LEGS.

It is asserted in many books that the
ancients did not use stockings, and hat
the art Of knitting was nknOW before
the beginning of the fifteenth century.
that both these statements are wrong
is proved by the existence of knitted
stockings found in the grave OF an an
cient Egyptian m and now pre-
served in the Louvre in Paris. These
stockings are short, resembling socks,
and are knitted with great skill, the ma
terial is wool, which was probably white
originally, but is now brown with age.
The knitting is loose and elastic, and
seems to have been done with rather
thick needles. The stockings are begun,
as they would be at the present day, with
a single thread; the heels are shaped as
they would be now, and are very well
done. The toe, however, is different from
that of a modern stocking; it ends in two
tube-Iike projections which resemble the
fingers of a glove. The reason of this Is
that the stocking was made to fit the
sandal. in which there was a strap from
the toe to the instep.

CURIOUS

Manila Cor. L.eslie's Weekly: The num-
Der of escapes also borders on the domain
of the miraculous. COmrade MclnneS, of
my who fell at Mariquina, in
addition to his belt of cartridges, carried
a small Dashboard box of 20 cartridges
in the bosom fold of his blue shirt. While
Withdrawing a cartridge from his belt
a Remington brass bullet passed through
the back of his hand, through the first
of the two layers of cartridges in his
bosom, and doubled UP a cartridge in the
second layer SO firmly as to still retain
the brass missile in the fold. AS the car
fridge box was directly over his stomach
his close call can be appreciated. Pri-
vate Glazier, of my regiment, at the same
fight was also struck by a Mauser in his
cartridge belt four inches internal to the
point CT the left hip. The bullet bored a
clean little hole through the Springfield
cartridge, passed through his groin and
struck another shell in his belt on the
other side, passing through and eXplod-
| ing it. He was confined to bed 10 days.
Private Marteson of our regiment. at the
| same fight, was struck with a Remington
| brass bullet in the left foot. While wait
ing for medical aid a Mauser bullet hit
| the other foot in almost the same iden-
| teal SPOT.
Colonel Hawkins, of the Pennsylvania,
in the advance on Caloocan, received a
| outlet III LIE IN VI HiS pass
ing through it, exploding a cartridge in
| his belt and glancing off. A Kanaka
who Joined the CALIFORNIA; at Honolulu
peeped over the trenche at a Pedrt
Macati, with his head inclined slightly
backward. A Mauser caught him just
| over the left eye, ploWed over his skull
under the scalp for six inches and out
again. He did not quit his post, but lit
had only one lamp to peep with for tive
weeks. A Washington boy on March
had his scalp furrowed right where ht
parted his hair. The hospital corps ban,

his eyes in the course of time and he sa'
up to adjust it; it was a fatal moment. 4
Mauser passed through his body from
right to left, passing through his heart
| and he fell over dead.

Two Youths Who May Go to
the Reform School.
CAUGHT RED HANDED
Troubles of Dr.. Laurin and James
Mulcahey--Assau|ted a Woman
-Other Court Matters.

Two young boys-Harry Sullivan and
Peter Fair-were captured last night
under circumstances which will probably
result for them in a long term in the
state reform school. They were caught
about 1870 o'clock this morning while in
the act of burglarizing a West Park street
confectionery store, conducted by Will
liam Courtney. The boys had broken
into the place by smashing a large pane
Of window glass, and We're busily en-
gagged in helping themselves to every
thing in sight when the officer appeared
and placed them under arrest. They had
with them a small trunk. and this had
been filled with plumber. The Sullivan
boy lis about 8 years of age, and is a
younger brother of Jay sullivan a youth
who has been arrested for many similar
escapades. The Fair boy is about y
years Of age. Another little fellow was
with them, but as his innocence was
easily proven and was admitted by the
boys, he was released.
The BOYS were turned over the county
! authorities this morning, and the county
| attorneys Office will institute proceed
| ings looking to their detention in the re-
form school.
In police court this morning James
Mulcahy pleaded not guilty to the charge
of assa ulting DR.. Edgar Laurin, and will
! be tried later. The two men engaged in
a spirited discussion yesterday over the
merits and dement's Of the medical pro-
fession. At the end of the discussion. the
! doctor had a black eye and caused Null
cahy's arrest. Mulcahy claims that the
doctor struck the first blow and the doe
tor sets up a similar

her husband. The complaint in the case
sets up that Dahlman was insured with
the company for the amount named last
December. the deceased giving a note
payable March Of this year for the prem
ium. The company accepted the note and
issued the policy. After Dahlman's death

proof and asked for the insurance. The
company refused to pay. The plaintiff
represents that her husband was at all
times fully able to pay the note, having
when he died left quite an estate.
! Helena-The state board of pardons
yesterday confirmed the governors action
in pardoning Edward Kelly. convicted
last October at Billings of robbery, and
sentenced to five years in the pen. kelly's
case was one Of the most notable ever
considered by the board. He was convict
ed of holding up a saloon in Billings.
When arrested he was in the act of re-
turning the b~arkeeper's watch. which he
claimed to have purchased from a man he
supposed had held up the saloon. Gov.
, Smith, at the urgent request or Con-
ley and McTague, prison contractors, par
doned Kelly on the ground that another
person had committed the crime fo1
which he was serving time. The pardon
was fought by the officials of Yellowstone
county, who have maintained with great
earnestnass tina Kelly and his friends
had imposed upon the governor and pris-
on contractors. A few weeks ago Conley
and McTag received the confession of a
man named Tracey. who had just been
sentenced to 20 years in the Oregon pen,
and who declared that he committed the
robbery at Billings and afterwards sold
Kelly the stolen watch. The contractors
secured photographs of Tracey which
Kelly picked out OF several hundred as
being those of a man who had sold HIN
the watch.

From the concealing grass rose to a sit

black hair, the Blacklist and brightest OF
eyes. and a coppery complexion 1t was
an Indian boy of about Charles age AL
though an Indian. however, and from the
reservation near the post where Col Allen
commanded, he was not dressed like an
