4 Smart Thief.

Talking about slick thieves" said
Capt. LAWN of the Stock Yards Police
Station, according to the Chicago Chroni-
Gle, the uncrowned king lives out in my
district. If he had had as much brain
matter as he has ingenuity and as much
daring for big crimes as he has for small
ones a Sherlock Holmes couldn't get
within miles walk Of him in thou-
sand years. You smile
ASK the boys who keep a watchful eye
over the unsophisticated stock raisers who
the man is they feast the most. They
will tell you it is Moses Klinski. He is
afraid of turning a big trick, but when
pit comes to getting a watch chain, an
overcoat, some trinket or the spare coins
in a stockman's pocket Moses beats any
artist in the country.
AT the live stock show Moses stole a
stocking off the foot of a Canadian, who
had a pen of COtswolds on exhibition;
stole it when the fellow had his big cow
hide boots on, and never disturbed the
boot of the foot that the stocking was
on, and the fellow was wide awake when
1t was done. One of my men caught
Moses while he was getting away with
the goods.
There were half a dozen people around
within few feet of the sheep breeder
and Moses when the theft was commit
ted This is no fairy tale.
1T was one of the big days of the
show" continued the Captain. THE Ca
madam was busy talking to some West
ern people about his breed of sheep. He
was sitting on a bale of hay. Moses
was shambling through the sheep section.
How he escaped my men and got inside
is something that he alone could tell He
edged up to the group around the Cana
dian. One of my plain clothes men
caught sight of him, and he noticed that
Moses was busy with his hands
He could not see what the fellow was
doing and waited. In a few moments
Moses dropped something into his over
coat pocket. The plain-clothes man took
mold of him. and, reaching into the over
coat pocket. drew out ball of red yarn
lie walked Moses back to the group, and,
holding out the bali of yarn asked if any
of the men had been touched They look
ed and shook their heads negatively
The next morning the Canadian came
over TO the police station. Moses had
\ been run in on general principles, and 1
asked the caller what had happened to
him. He held up a red sock. Moses stole
the other he said to me. See here,
and he put his cowhide boot on a chair
IN my office and pointed to a little hole
in the toe. Yesterday afternoon that fell
low stole my sock through this hole. He
unraveled it and wound it into a ball One
of your men caught him, but I did not
know the yarn belonged to me until last
night, when I pulled off my boot and
found the sock was gone"
Moses admitted the theft. He said he
saw bit of the red sock through the
hole in the toe of the boot, and he no.
ticed it was good quality of yarn, and,
taking the blade of his knife, he started
the raveling, knowing that the man was
too busy talking to pay any attention to
the loss of sock"

AN UNSETTLED auEsrInN-

Two or three weeks ago the Morning
News published an article written bv Mr.
r. j. Massey of Atlanta, in which. among
other things, there was an account of A
very interesting interview which Mr..
Massey had with Vice President Stephens
in 1865. Some one sent the article to Hon.
John r. Reagan of Texas, who was Post
master General of the Confederacv. Mr..
Reagan, in a lengthy article in the Gal
weston News of April 6, reviews a portion
Of the interview which Mr.. Massey had
with Mr. Stephens. The part which he
reviews is as follows: After the usual
salutations and a few compliments. we
went to business. Mr.. Lincoln drew from
his pocket sheet of paper about two
feet long and held it up to the wall and
SAID Gentlemen. let me write the word
Union; the Union must be preserved
and you may fiji the balance of the sheet
with your own terms
The foregoing OF course refers to the
celebrated Hampton Roads Conference.
Mr.. Reagan calls attention to messages
OF President Lincoln to show that the
latter could never have made a PROPOSE
ton like that mentioned by Mr.. Massey
He also mentions other reasons for think
ing that no such proposition was made.
He says Mr.. Lincoln would not. in the
face of his own record, of the action of
Congress, and of the imprisoned public
opinion of the United States, have dared
to make such a proposition"
And Mr. Reagan points out that Mr..
stephens furnished evidence that such a
proposition was not made He saws that
on the night of Mr.. Stephens return to
Richmond from the conference, it is stated
on good authority that he told the Hon.
James l.. Orr, a Confederate senator from
South Carolina, that the Hampton Roads
| Conference was "frutless and hopeless
because Mr.. Lincoln offered the Confed-
eracy nothing but unconditional submits
sion"
Mr.. Reagan says that Mr.. Stephens
made practically the same statement tc
Hon. f. B. Sexton, a member of the Con.
federate Congress. He also quotes Col
Blount, an old time friend of Mr.. Steph-
ems, who in a letter to Mr.. Reagan, stated
that the story relative to payment for
slave property was practically without
foundation.
Mr.. Reagan points to the fact that al
the last annual reunion of the Confederate
Veterans Association at Louisville KY
the committee on history, its chairman
being General stephen d. Lee, had its at
tention called to this alleged offer OF Mr..
Lincoln, and after thoroughly Investigate
ing the whole matter reported that there
was no shadow of foundation for any such
statement.
1t does seem from what Mr.. Reagan
says that there is little or nothing "a
sustain the story, and yet IT cannot be
denied that it is believed by many well
informed people.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-04-09

In the Saturday Review of Books and
Art of the New York Times of the issue
of April there is a list of the public
gifts and requests which were bestowed
or became operative in the United States
for the year 1900. The list does not in
clude sums under $780, nor ordinary de-
nominational contributions for benevo-
lent, educational or religious purposes.
Neither does IL include state or municipal
appropriations to public or sectarian in
situations, nor appropriations Of Congress
for various relief purposes. 1t is also in
dependent of all relief funds, such as
the famine fund for India and the re-
lief fund for Galveston.
The amount of the gifts in the list is
A7, 100000. II would naturally be supposed
that, the country being so prosperous. the
amount of the gifts and requests in 1900
would be greater than that in 1899. AS a
matter of fact, however, it was nearly
S15,00O,000 less. Just why there was fall
ing off is not apparent. 1t is remarked,
however, that the number of the contrib
utors was much larger than in the pre-
fNSNH al anu AilhN LIG AlutlbcE u gnu
10 education and art was larger
The amount of the gifts and requests In
1897 was, in round numbers, $45, 100000, ahi
In the next year. the year of the Spanish
American war, it was about $3S, 900 600.
There was of course a reason for the fall
ing off that year. 1t may be that the
reason the amount last year was less than
that of the previous year was that there
were fewer deaths of charitably inclined
persons having large estates.
In glancing over the list it is seen that
the greater part of the gifts went to in
stitutions in the North. The amount
given 10 institutions in the South was
comparatively small. The reason of this
was of course that the bulk of the wealth
of the country is in the North. There are
many educational institutions in the
South that are in need of assistance. No
doubt the time will come when they will
fare much better than they do now. The
south is growing richer, though it is not
Keeping pace in this respect with the
North. The reason is that about all OF
the great insurance and guaranty compa-
MES and the main offices of the great
railroad systems are in the North. 1t will
be years before the wealth that is pro-
duced in the South will be invested in the
Southern States. There is no doubt that
the Stock and Cotton Exchanges of New
York draw enough money from the South
every year to put all of the Southern
educational institutions on a firm finan-
cial foundation

Kind Hearfedness.

The gingham-shirted boy had made a

money I'd buy him ticket myself"
The crowd looked sympathetic, but said
nothing, while the boy sobbed as if his
heart would dissolve.

went on the seedy-looking one IAN that
won't do you no good. Say" he contin-
ued, turning suddenly to the crowd, lets
do one good act in our lives. Let's buy
him a ticket"
1t looked for minute as If collec-
ton was to be started, but a benevolent
looking old gentleman nipped it in the bud
by slipping half-dollar into the hand of
the boy, who promptly disappeared into
the tent.
Il thank you a thousand times for that
kind act, sir" said the seedy-looking man.

A cELEBR ATED CASE.

The Carter case is rapidly taking it's
place as one of the most remarkable In
the criminal history of the country. Mr..
Carriers lawyers do not intend that any
means shall be left untried to get him
out of prison. 1t does seem as il they
made efforts in his behalf that gave no
promise of being successful. No doubt,
however, they are acting under his in
structions. and as long as he is willing
to compensate them for their trouble 1t is
safe to assume that they will keep on
trying to secure his release.
His application to the Supreme Court
for bail pending his appeal TO that court
from the judgment of a lower court refus-
ing him writ of habeas corpus will not
be granted, in all probability. 1t is well
calculated, however, to keep the case be-
fore the public. Indeed, it seems to be
his plan and that of his attorneys to I'm
press on the public that he is an limo
cent man making herculean efforts to get
justice He has made several statements,
and in all of them he has vehemently
asserted his innocence. Only lately his
attorneys published a pamphlet in which
they set forth all OF the strong points in
his favor
In the meantime the government is pro-
ceeding as if it had no doubt of his guilt.
1t seems that the amount the govern
ment expert declares he received, as his
share of the proceeds of the partnership
he is alleged to have had with certain
river and harbor improvement contractors,
is $685. 900. According to the reports about
all of this money has been located-that
is. the real estate and securities in which
he invested his money have been found
and ii is the understanding that it is the
purpose OF the government tn seize it.
If the government should succeed in this
purpose the outlook for Mr.. Carter would
be gloomy, indeed. In about two years
his term of Imprisonment will end. With
out money and with his record he will
not find it an easy matter to find con-
genial employment.
Under the circumstances 1t is not at all
surprising that he is making efforts to
secure his release when the chances for
success are apparently hopeless. He might
as well use his money in fight for lib
erty as to have it seized by the govern
ment
