BURGLARS IN SILK HATS.

Paris and They Gaan Adj

Innumerable complaints havereached
the Paris police of late touching the ex-
PLOTS of band of burglars, which had
begun operations in the Charonne dis
trict of the capital. This latest add.
tion to the gangs of rogues by which
Paris is too frequently infested is chief
ly distinguished from similar asso-
Citations by the care which its mem
bers devote to their dress. They go
about their nefarious business at

able cut; they would blush to go I'M

are in themselves sort of guarantee
of responsibility. Their browning

they have no difficulty whatever in
obtaining entrance to the houses they
propose to ransaek. In broad day
light they politely inquire of the con
cierge whether one of his tenants is at
home, and the doorkeeper, impressed
by their gniicent appearance, throws
no difficulty in the way of their ex-
ploring at leisure the house intrusted
to his care. Well equipped with false
keys and ingeniously contrived jim
mics, they make light of locks and
bolts, and as they disdain all booty ex-
eept money and bonds, their depart
ure excites no suspicion. Last week
alone over 40 burglaries are believed
to have been committed by this gang
In several intances they left note
behind them, addressed to their vic

have been outwitted by the gang--Chi-

BLIZZARD BROUGHT JOY.
Two Little Eskimo Children in New
York in High GIee over the
Great Storm

It would have been impossible for
the big city to have prepared better
reception for its little Eskimo visit
ors than the blizzard the weather man
sent Even the polar bear Gagged in
Central park did not welcome the
frost and snow more than the two lit
tie twin girls from the ice region who
are now housed in a comfortable brick
dwelling in West Thirty-ninth street,
with their foster father, Winner w.
Bruce.
While everyone else in the house WAS
half frozen Artmarhole and Zaksriner
sought cakes of ice and buckets Of snow
in the back yard. They rolled and tum-
bled about, laughing merrily while
their pies and cakes baked" in the
frost
30, my, am warm. Artmarhokel"
said one.
30, dear. dear, so am I, Zaksriner,"
said the other.
To cool off they sat in the snow and
made more snow pies to freeze into ice.
Their eyes glistened like black dia-
monds and their cheeks were red as
roses. Indoors people were bundled up
in wraps and seemed to think they
never would get warm, while the little
youngsters outside were happy.
Zaksriner spent two hours sewingthe
other day for her baby. a blonde-haired
doll of which she is proud. and then ran
over to Capt. Bruce and asked:
These people don't have such cold
ba- ~ he
''No, indeed. If this would keep up no
one would go outdoors" said Capt.
Bruce.
30, wouldn't that be nice if it was al
ways like this? Artmarhoke and 1
would like it. We just love it,"
"But the people in this part of the
country are not used to such cold"
said Capt. Bruce.
Perhaps this weather just came for
Artmarhoke and myself. Maybe it just
followed us here. o. my. suppose-sup-
pose-it did. Then wouldn't the people
be mad, and (sadly) perhaps they
wouldn't let US stay herel"
Artmarhoke went to the Museum of
Natural History the other day, where
casts are being made of both the chill
dren. Hers is almost completed.
Zaksriner remained athome.
Accompanied by servant from her
home Artmarhoke went over to the
arsenal, leaving the museum, and
watched the bears snoring in their
snow-lined cages.
-Zaksriner and like the snow Just
like the bears do" said she. DO you
get some snow for the bears in sum-
mer? 1 hope so. You ought ton.

There are probably few even among
those who use the typewriter who have
any proper conception of the variety
and universally of the ingenious sub
stitute for the pen. Although only in
its very early youth, it has already
penetrated into every corner of the
earth. 1t has gone with invading
armies and explorers into the very
heart of Africa. Lieut.. Peary has in
troduced it to polar ice, and it has trav-
eled thousands of miles over Siberian
SHOWS. 1t travels with every army and
fleet. and it was one of the first things
rescued from the sunken Maine. Two
of the most costly typewriters belong
to the queen and car of Russia. They
are exquisite machines of white enamel
and gold, with keys of ivory. The queen
regent of Spain uses one for her CORE
spondence, the khedive possesses one,
and. in fact. there is scarcely court in
Europe where the typewriter has not a
place.-N. Y. Herald.

Kansas City, Mo, July 5.-The

session to-day, but it was devoted
mostly to speeches and the body
finally adjourned until $3.50 p. m.
(4:3O by Kentucky time) this after

short speeches was Gov. Beckham,

Kentucky would go Democratic by

the monetary ratio, which has
been brewing ever since the dele
gates to the convention began to
assemble, found expression in the
Committee on Resolutions when it
assembled to-day. The committee
was called together soon after the
first adjournment of the convention,
but it only elected It's officers, ad-
journing to meet again at $40 p. m.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was
unanimously chosen chairman, and
r. L. Metcalf, of Nebraska, secre-
tary.
When the committee reassembled
Mr., Metcalt presented the draft of
a platform covering all questions of
public interest, which draft all the
members accepted as Mr.. Bryan's
expression upon this question. Mr..
Garrard, of Georgia, also presented
a platform, as did Mr.. Van Wyck,
of New York. All these documents
took practically the same ground
upon all questions except finances.
Mr.. Metcalfs declaration was for
the reafirmation of the Chicago
platform in letter and spirit and it
emphasized and reiterated specih-
cally the declaration for the free
coinage of silver at 10 to l. Both
the other drafts simply reathrmed
the Chicago platform without re-
ference to the ratio.
The reading of Mr.. Van Wyck S
document brought Mr.. Ball, of
Texas, to his feet with the sugges-
tiou that the financial question
should be immediately taken up
and passed upon. He said it was.

division upon any other platform

Kansas City, July Amid
scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm
fitting such an event and such a
day, the Democratic National con-
vention began it's session to-day.
But after sitting until late hour
tonight, the expected climax of the
day-the nomination of William ].
BRYAN as the Democratic candidate
for President-has failed of reali-
cation, and all of the larger busi-
ness of the convention awaits the
completion Of the platform.
AS a spectacular event however,
the convention has fulfilled the
hopes of the most lervid party man,
for the vast assemblage OF dele
gates and spectators has twice
been swept with whirlwind demoh-
strations, first for the leader who is
about to be placed in nomination,
and then for that other champion
of Democracy, David b. Hill But
in actual accomplishment the days

chairman, Gov, Thomas, of Colora-

a long illness. Concerning her de-
mise the Clarksville Times-Journal
says:
"Her death removes a prominent
member Of the Cumberland Presby-

A FRIGHTFUL FORK.
Used by South Sea Islanders at Their
CannibaI Banquets.

This is a cannibal fork from the South
Sea Islands. 1t is made of a very hard,
bluish-red wood. and is never used by he
natives except at their horrible cannibu
feasts. The South Sea Islanders make a
stew of their human victims, mixed win
vegetables, and the flesh of sheep goa $
and swine. When it has cooked suffi-
GENTLY these forks are used to withdr
the meat from the steaming pot. Mis-
sionaries to these islands have found thai
cannibalism can not be stopped by SER
mons. but that the introduction of folr-
footed animals has a good influence in this
direction. In New Zealand, for instance
since the bringing in of cattle, sheep and
goats, formerly unknown on this island
cannibalism has ceased entirely. 1t is hop
ed that similar results will follow in the
case of the savage MAJORS, though one Of
the chief difficulties with which reformers
have to contend is the prevalent belief that
by eating their enemies they gain all me
