Tnoth MARKS Betrny Thief.

The peculiar shape of Charles
Mack's teeth is the cause Of his arrest,
and confinement in the county jail at
Omaha, on the charge of burglary. A
grocery store on Twenty-fourth street
was burglarized few evenings since
but the thief escaped. When the police
and citizens were investigating the
case Mack appeared and was very zeal
Gus in his search. Mack has peculiarly
formed teeth. A detective noticed n
piece OF cheese on counter bearing
marks corresponding to Mack's teeth
and made him bite another piece. The
marks were identical and Mack was
arrested. The goods stolen from the
store were later found in his house.

NEW YORK TRAGEDY.
DENTIsT KILLED EMPLOYERS
WIFE.
Murderer Completes tho Decd BY Shoot
Ing Himself-Invaded woman's Room,
Shot Her Dead and Then Ended His
Own Life.

Mrs. Mamie Hayes was murdered
the other night. in her sleeping apart
ment in the Hotel Endicott. New York
city, by DR.. Franklin L. Caldwell, who
then shot and killed himself. The
woman was shot in the head. Cald-
well was employed as an assistant by
DR.. Ephraim H. Hayes, husband of the
dead woman. Three days prior to the
tragedy Caldwell ordered solution Of
morphine, which was delivered to him
an hour before the shooting. The bot
tie which had contained the morphine
was found on a table in the room with
the bodies.
DIR. E. H. Hayes came from Chicago
four years ago to take charge of the
dental rooms of a department store
company. He had been dentist we'll
known in Chicago. and when he left
there he placed his Office in charge Of
DR.. Caldwell. Mrs. Hayes did not come
to the city with her husband. but re-
manned in Chicago for some time. Just
how long is not known.
Four weeks before the double crime

Endicott. Caldwell was placed there
as an assistant. The Hayes family oc-
cupied with the Office set OF apart
ments on the ground floor of the hotel.
With them lived DR.. Caldwell, Ralph
Hayes, nephew of DR.. Hayes, and
colored maid. Mrs. Hayes was So years
old. DIR. Caldwell was the same age.
On the night OF the tragedy, DIR.
Hayes and his nephew went out. Mrs.
Hayes directed the servant to attend
to her work in the kitchen, at the
same time saying that she would
change her dinner gown for house
dress. Within half an hour DR.. Hayes
nephew returned, and as the servant
opened the door to admit him there
came the sound of pistol shot. Two
more shots were fired moment later
The young man and several others
who had heard the shots ran into Mrs.
Hayes apartments. On the bed lay
Mrs Hayes. She had thrown off the
dress she had worn at dinner. She lay
in a natural position. There was a
jagged wound in her right temple, from
which the blood flowed. The bullet
had entered her brain, and she must

Ecls As wnter-Purifiers

Few people would be gratified IL they
should find an eel in their rain water
sstern, and probably the last conclu-
sion come to would be that the water
was thereby improved. Yet, according
to Prof. Sobrero of Turin, this would
be the case. The professor has recent
ly suggested that eels should be used as
purifiers of water. All one has to dc
tern pure is to put two or three eels,
not very big, but lively into it. With
marvellous rapidity they will devour
everything Objectionable that may drop
into the water or generate there. All
that the water may chance to contain
in the way of animalcules, infusorla
acceptable to them. Their mission end
ed, they may in turn be eaten. or may
be saved as scavengers in other depart
ments of the water-supply. The Brit
ish Medical Journal inclines to the be-
lief that after using the eels as scav-
engers few people would care to eat
them, but remarks that cells eat worss
things in their ordinary haunts than
they are likely to find in the most neg.
lected cistern. The same journal sng'
gests that a useful field of action TO-
cells may be found in reservoirs as wei
as in cisterns.

have died instantly. Beside the ueu
lay DR.. Caldwell. He, too, was dead.
There were two bullet wounds in his
head. His right hand still clutched
a revolver, with the finger on the trig-
ger showing how he had died. DR..
Hayes was found in drug store near
at hand and hurried to the rooms. He
was quite distracted, talked wildly.
and it was feared for a time that he
would have to be restrained. He could
not offer the faintest suggestion Of q
cause for the wild act OF Caldwell.
Nothing was found that gave any idea
as to the cause Of the shooting. SO far
as he is known, or SO far as any one
would say. When the revolver was
taken from the hand Of the dead man
II was found that but three chambers
were empty. 1t is learned that for sew
eral weeks Mrs. Hayes had been at
tended for n nervous trouble by DR..
Richardson, specialist. 1t is said
that she was about to be taken to a
private institution, as her nervous
condition did not improve, and she
to have been no indication of intended
murder on the part of Caldwell. who
had dinner with the family. The maid
says that Mrs. Hayes and Caldwell
chatted together for few minutes af-
ter the others had left the table, and
there was not the slightest suggestion
Of quarrel. They were talking OF
commonplace affairs, she says.
Everything indicated that DR.. Cald-
well had followed Mrs. Hayes into tie
bedroom almost Immediately. She had
only partly removed her bodice. Ap-
parently she had been standing with
her back to the bed when he fred upon
her and she fell backward upon 1t.
Then there was an interval Of few
seconds. Evidently DR.. Caldwell paus-
cd few moments to make sure that
his shots were fatal. Then he turned
the weapon upon himself.

USES OF LIQUID AIR.
Some Difficulties Experienced In ConcenI
trating Its Power.

Some Difficulties Experienced In ConcenF
trating Its Power.
That wonderful substance that has
surprised the world known as liquid
air has already become a commercial
commodity and is being sold by the
gallon for common use, just like milk
or molasses. Mr.. Tripler, the inventor,
has organized n company, of which
Judge Vincent of Chicago is one of the
directors, and Is selling rights to terri
tory throughout the United States.
So far as refrigeration is concerned
liquid air is n great success, but as a
motive power 1t is still in the expert
mental stage. 1t comes nearer perpet-
ual motion than anything ever invent
ed, because it 'multiplies itself over
and over again in the simplest manner
and can be produced at n cost of 10
cents gallon in ordinary quantities
at cents n gallon in large quantities.
AT temperature of 312 degrees be-
low zero in Il liquid state it is lighter
than water and expands 800 times.
That is, one cubic foot of liquid can al
most Instantly be expanded into 500
cubic feet of aid, which illustrates it's
mighty force. AS this expansion be-
gins the moment the temperature in

l was talking the other day with an
engineer who has been trying to con-
troll It, He had worked for months to
devise some way by which it could be
applied to automobiles and other horse
less vehicles and to yachts and other
vessels. "A ship that starts from New
York." he said land goes straight to
Europe could be driven by liquid air
just as easily as by steam and could
manufacture its own power during the
voyage in the simplest manner possi-
but, but the consumption of liquid air
must continue just as rapidly when the
ship stops as when it is going, be-
cause no vessels or tank was ever de-
vised of sufficient strength to hold it.

other day when German patrolman,

excited and had been roughly handled
during the arrest. but the latter
merely shook his fist. swung his arms,
nodded his head in violent manner
and uttered n peculiar sound which
the sergeant said reminded him of Il

How a Little Boy was Saved.

Washington, d. c." When ourt
boy was about l6 months old hc broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In n few days he had
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be inumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided to
give it to my boy and in short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that stopped giving.
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and it's
persistent use has accomplished a com

Exploded a. Year. After Being Fired.


The longest time that is known to
have elapsed between the firing of a
shell and its. explosion is forty-four
years. Recently a shell which had
been fired into the Russian harbor OF
Sebastopol during the Crimean war at
least forty-four years ago, was haul
ed up by some fishermen, and it ex-
ploded on being taken from the wa
ter, killing one of the men and wound
ing several of the others, notwith-
standing the long period which had
elapsed since it had left the gun which
fired 1t. Finds of shells are exceeding
ly dangerous, il they happen to be un-
exploded ones, as a similar accident
happened not long since at Bolton-le-
Sands, where a dredger named Wilson
fished up one that had been fired from
the artillery camp at Bare, and took 1t
home. An attempt to break it up cost
him an eye, foot and broken head,
besides causing serious damage to
property.
