RATS ABOARD OCEAN SHIPS.
Methods of Catching the Pests when
Voyages End.

(Fron the New Orleans Times -Democrat.)
Chatting with some friends last night,
the captain of a big freight steamer row
taking on cargo at this port, told some
queer stories about rats Il have tie ship
cleaned out by professional rat catchers
whenever We touch at Liverpool" he said
and between times We try TO keep them
down by trapping. but it's hard work. We
don't dare to use poison. II We did the
hold would soon be full of dead rats, and
the stencil would breed fever. Our traps
are of the wire cage pattern, and consid
cradle craft has to be used in setting
them, for a ship rat is a very cunning
beast, and he will steer clear of deeoys
that his landlubber brothers walk into
with their eyes wide open II We simply
baited the traps in the Ordinary way and
left them about in the hold. we wouldn't
catch a dozen IN a year. Our plan is this =
On the first night We open the trap doors
and tie them in that position with bits of
string. so they can't possibly spring shut
Then We put scraps OF old cheese inside
and leave them until the following evening
That's to reassure the rats that the
strange wire contrivsnces are perfectly
harmless, and that they may enter in with
a certainty of getting out again Next
night we renew the bait and take of the
strings. and as general thing We catch

them so full that it seemed impossible to
get another rat inside, which is pretty
good evidence. as | take il. that they can't
communicate With each other and give the
alarm. There is nothing new about the
trick describe. IL is practised on all big
ships when the rats get too bad.
"As long as he creatures have enough
water to drink continued the captain
lighting fresh cigar. I''they don't give
the crew any particular trouble and keep
out Of sight down in the bowels OF the
ship. But thirst makes them desperate,
and then they become an unmitigated
nuisance. and will go boldly anywhere in
search of drink. I have known them TO
invade the fo'castler in such numbers that
they drove the sailors 10 the deck. and at
other times / have. seen several hundred
make a combined rnsh FOR water barrel
II would surprise most people unaccus-
toned to seafaring lfe to know that water
is usually kept in the hold of cargo ships
especially for the rats It's done to keep
them below, and il for any reason the sup
ply runs short theTs is sure TO be trouble.
The evening times., 1900-04-21

I said just now that when the creatures
were thirsty they would go anywhere and
l mean il TO the letter They will climb
the rigging like monkeys. and il is a COM
mon thiag for them to go clear up to the
topsails looking for the rainwater that
accumulates in the blight. or fold of furIed
canvas Last time / was in port 7 saw a
green sailor get the scare of his life He
had gone aioft TO shake out the topgallant
and. as he did so. four enormous rats
sprang out and ran up one arm. across his
shoulders. and down the other side He
was so startled that he let loose all holds,
and would certainly have fallen 10 the deck
If he hadn't proVidenially caught on the
footline. Many &C the fo'castIe hands
make pets of rats during a long voyage
and i is astonishing how easily they can
be taiuef and made TO perform tricks.
When professional catcher comes aboard
for general raid there Is always a frantic
rounding up of these pets to get them out
of harms way until after the battle is

GRAND LARCENY CHARGED.
A Railroad Brakeman Said TO Have
Committed an Serious offence


Committed a Serious offence
David R. Twyman, 2S years old. brake
man in the employ of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company. was arrested by
Detectives Muller and Baur yesterday
evening charged with grand larceny. The
only complainant at present is Miss Sarah
Mellish OF Clifton. Ohio though others Will
probably appear as son as property in the
possession of the police can be identified.
II is probable tnat Twyman will be ar
raigned in the Police Court Monday morn
ing. He is said to have admitted his gull;
and tc have furnished information which led
TO the recovery of alleged stolen property
valued at several hundred dollars.
For weeks past 1t is said frequent COM
plants have been made TO the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad officials that baggage of
various descriptions was mysteriously
disappearing. The complaint led TO
an investigation with the result
that the aid OF the local police
was solicited. Detectives Muller and Baur
we're detailed on the case and they after
an investigation. secured a search warrant
and examined the contents Of the home of
sNNSnan in Missouri Avenue.
The search revealed the trunk of Miss
Mellish, which had beer reported missing
and the arrest Of Twyman followed. The
brakeman then admitted stealing the
trunk il is said and ,,Uded that he had
also stolen four dress suit cases. He is
said 10 have explained that he stole be-
cause he was hard up" Two of the dress
suit cases have been recovered.
According 10 TwymaI the scheme oper-
ated by him was TO get possession Of trunk
checks from various small stations and
use them on baggage which he intended to
steal. For instance he would substitute
a check showing Washington as the desd-
nation of baggese.cin place OF a check
which indicated that the baggage was to
go TO PHILADELPHIA > the baggage having
been checked from Cincinnati. The result
was that baggage which should have been
released at philadelphia would be put ofi
the train in Washington. Twymsn. IL is
said. would then send duplicate check TO
the railroad station and obtain the bag
gage on which he had altered the checks

the effect is singularly weird. In some
of the others the phantom faces are SO
vague that they are little more than
blotches of white
ITO a modern photographer the whole
thing is so ridiculously paipabie that IL
seems incredible that anybody should have
been deceived. There is abundant evidence
in the photos themselves that they were
9rodVeed by the simple trick OF making
two exposures on an old-fashiOned slow
wet plate. The ghost was taken first and
very much underlined the result being
a faint and shadowy impression on the
negative Then the plate was laid away
until the sitter appeared, when second
and long exposure was given In those
DAYS there was a prevalent idea that the
camera could rot l:S.' and the photograph
was regarded as proof positive of q super
natural visitation Now We know better.
Why, an expert operator can do almost as
many tricks with a camera as Hermann
could do with deck Of cards.

''In looking over lot Of old parapher-

photographs, taken in Washington in 1868.
1t IS pretty well forgotten now but that
sort OF thing created great furore around

showed the sitter with one or more ghostly
faces hoTering in the background, and
sometimes the entire form Of the appari-
tion was discernihle. Those I have were
all made for one persona lady who was
then a social leader in New Orleans, and
was widely noted for her intellectual gifts
She became interested in spiritualism. and
went to Washington especially to have
these photographs taken. They all depict
her seated in an armchair and the spirits
appear in sort of cloudy hgment imme-

the set shows an old man standing behind
her right shoulder. The figure is very

I'VE positively exclude the idea of tuber-

We believe that the paroxysms OF pain are
due TO the presence of gall stones and its
consequences. We believe that the cOndi-

a surgical interference some time in the

NEW YORK. April 21.-It became known
yesterday that Lieut.. Herbert Whipple. OF
the Seventh United Sta a Cavalry. recent
ly found a valuable pearl in an oystea pat
tie while dining with friends in the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel. The pearl was the
size of a hazel nut, and nearly round. Had
It not been damaged in the cooking experts
say il would be worth at least S20. 900.
The dinner was given in honor OF Lieu
tenant Whipple few days before his de-
parture to join his regiment in Cuba. As
he was eating an oyster pattie his teeth
struck something hard. AS it was too
round to be piece of oyster shell he made
an examination, and found Il to be beau
tiful pearl. The process OF cooking had
changed its appearance from pure white
TO a dull, turquoise blue. Lieutenant
Whipple has had the gem put on a stick

DOCTOR WANTS A FIRE BADGE.
The Application Discouraged by the
superintendent of Police.

DR.. Clarence Weaver recently submitted
a request to the District authorities for
a fire badge, which would enable him TO
pass within the lines at fires TO render
emergency service. The request was back
ed up by the claim that prompt medical at
tendance in cases where people were burn
ed, strangled with smoke. OF otherwise in
jured would result in saving many lives.
The request was referred 10 the Super
intendent of Police who reported back to
the Commissioners that it was quite i'm
pCrtant at times that a professional man
be at hand to render services of the kind
described by DR.. Weaver. If granted,
however. in one case Major Sylvester
thought Il would lead TO many similar ap-
plications from other physicians. and on
! that ground he was opposed 10 granting
| the request.
II is understood that the Commissioners
! will inform the applicant that compliance
with his request would set a bad precedent.
