companions, was in the habit of going

tearing off the outer husks with his

the shell at one of the eyes, and
drinking the milk. Then it would
crush the shell and scoop out the
meat. it has long pair of pinchers,

the waters and islands of the Indian

ONE DESPERATE RoBBER.
Hc Entered the Corridor of a Kansas sity
Hotel, Made "a Good Haul
and Escaped.

Kansas City, No., May 21.-A lone
highwayman entered the corridor of
the Coates hotel, one of the leading
hotels here, at IL: so o'clock last night,
and. forcing the strong box OF the
cigar stand, escaped. The box con-
tanned diamonds valued at $500. $3.50
in gold. currency and silver, and checks
to the amount of $100. He held the
night clerk and another employe of
the hotel off at the point of revolver,
and escaped on a horse that he had
tied to the curbing.
AT the time of the hold-up, which
proved one of the most daring ever
perpetrated in Kansas City, n Times re-
porter, James Sullivan, and Col. Fred.
w. Fleming. of the Missouri national
guard, were seated in ore end of the
lobby, Night Clerk William Gossett
stood behind the registering desk,
Night Watchman Charles L. Meeker
was pacing to and fro in the center of
the 1loor, and C. j. Garvey, q guest,
and Key Clerk Kelleher were near by.
Sherman Clark, clerk of the stand, Il
short distance away, was waiting on
a customer who was probably the rob
ber's confederate.
Kelleher was the first to notice the
robber. as he entered the lobby.
Damn you,' exclaimed the visitor,
as Kelleher faced him. Act as if you
were going to do something The rob
Der as he spoke thrust the muzzle of
revolverin Kelleher's face, then stepped
behind the counter, picked up the
strong box and turned TO go.
Clelk Clark saw him at this mo-
ment:
Hold on," he cried, what do you
want?''
you - - don't you move"
commanded the man, as he pointed his
weapon at Clark's head, IF you do, I'll
get YOU"
He backed out of the door, with his
face turned to the lobby. and with re-
golver levelled, disappeared.
So daring was the robbery commit
ted, it was a minute almoS: before
Kelleher or Clark could make an out
cry The night watchman awoke
from his reyerie to see the confederate
disappear through another entrance.
The alarm aroused Sullivan and Flem-

off on his horse, were in ignorance of

dollars in money and some checks in
the box, preparatory to taking it to

tracted his attention momentarily t
the other end of the counter, and after

down and brutally murdered late Sat-
urday night near Thirty-second street

Prof. White left the university at
ten clock last night for the Powell

vania railroad to board a train for
Germantown, suburb. Shortly be-
fore Ii o'clock he was found in an un-

gaining consciousness. 1t has not yet

motive was robbery, as the Only article
missing was the professors watch. y

pockets was undisturbed. Three men,

the crime.

DuNE BYA LONE HIGHwAYMAN
Two stages He'd Up and Robbed on tn q
Yosemite Valley Route, at Big
Oak Flat, al.

Stockton, CAL, May 19.-Fwo Yose-
mite Valley stages were held up,
Thursday night, at Big Oak Flat, by a
lone highwayman. One stage was go
ing into and the other coming from
the park. The robber secured about
three hundred dollars.
The hold-up occurred at a point in
the road where stages to and from
the Yosemite pass the other. There
were five passengers in the first stage.
When it reached the scene, the bandit
stepped from his place of concealment,
and ieveling his gun at the driver COM
manded him to halt He then ordered
the passengers to get out anG deposit
their coin in a pile in the road. 1t was
done in few minutes and without
any mishaps. The robber made no
call for the treasure box.
AS soon as the passengers had made
their contributions the highwayman
told the driver to continue. Before he
got started, the second stage, with
four passengers, drove up, and the
highwayman ordered this to stop, tell
ing the driver of the first one to keep
on. 1t required but a few minutes
more for the robber to secure the
money of the occupants of the second
stage, two of whom were women. The
same method was employed by which
the other stage passengers were re-
lieved of their coin.
From the first lot of passengers the
robber secured about one hundred and
twenty-five dollars. The most that any
one man contributed was $40. He had
$3.50 with him, but did not part with
it all. Some of the passengers gave
up all they had
From the second stage it is esti-
mated that the highwayman secured
between $110 and $12O.

ing up the tsages are under arrest at

table. Another kind is covered with
growing sponge, all but it's eyes anc
the tips of its claws. So covered, the
crab hides in crevices where sponge
is growing, and he becomes as much
like the sponge as he can. There is
a California crab who has beautiful
snuff box beneath his body, for car.
rying eggs. This box closes with {
snap, exactly like manufactured

s'The messmate" is little bit of &
crab which is usually found inside o.:
the shell of an oyster. Epicures re
gard these as great delicacies. TIL,
men of knowledge who study thest
and all other crabs say that thu
"messmate" does not feed upon the
oyster, but simply makes its home il
the oysters shell, and eats a part o.
whatever the oyster finds to eat. Oy
sters have been appropriately termed
by some good people as the sscaven
gers of the sea- and on that ac
count they will not eat oysters. Thes,
little "messmates" are similar scav
engers.
Cows "chew the cud'' and are callet
ruminating animals. In one respec:
crabs are like unto them. They have
ten legs, eight pairs of jaws. hear,
in the middle of the back, and teeth
in the stomach. With his jaws the
crab catches and kills his food, and di
gests it while chewing it in the stom
ach. Originally crabs had tails, but
they have learned to dispense with
caudal appendages by evolutions
which have required centurines.
In order to keep pace with the de
mand, thousands of men have fol
many years made crab and lobster
catching regular business. Theil
success has been so great that the
Atlantic coast has been dredged an6
trapped almost to depletion. For the
past 12 years the fish commission has

ing along the coast countless millions
of little fellows; and majority OF
them are gobbled down by varieties
of fish having tastes as epicurean az
that of man. Besides, the little fel
lows are cannibal-1ike, and will kill
each other off, the stronger feeding
upon the weaker. Tt takes a year OF
two for young crabs to attain suffi.
cient size and strength to defend
themselves or hide away from theil
enemies. Hence the fish commission
is confronted with difficulties which
are disheartening.
The next time we indulge in soft
shell crabs on toast we will know
more about what we are eating; like
wise about deviled crabs and lob
