All hotel men, as a rule, are healthy,
but once in a while they are subject to
stomach trouble like the ordinary mortal,

THEFT OF BOOKS CHARGED.
Complaints From Several Physicians
Lead TO an Arrest.

Andrew Victor Story, a young man, of
twenty-five years, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Peck, Miller, and
Flather on suspicion of being the man
who for several weeks past has been
systematically robbing doctors Offices of
books and other yaluables. From what
the detectives say, it appears that Story
has made a practice of calling at the Of
fees of physicians at times when he be-
Iieved they were absent or busy, and
after being shown into the waiting-room,
he would watch his opportunity and es-
cape with whatever books he could secure
1t is further said that while selling these
at secondhand book stores, he would
steal other books from the proprietor
and repeat the operation at the next book
stand.
There are, so far, four cases against
Story, and others are being investigated.
1t is charged that he secured three books
from DR.. John A. Clarke, of 172l De
Edward A Bulloch, of 1913 Fifteenth
Street northwest; three from DR. Wood
ward near the corner of Twelfth and l.
Streets northwest, and several from the

tive OF New York State, but that for six
years he has been employed in the Gov
ernment Printing Office, from where he
was discharged in March. Since that
time he has been unemployed and was

A GOLD WATCH DISAPPEARS.
Two Alert Detectives Locate 1t and
Make an Arrest.

George w. Pearson. who claims to live
on Park Avenue. Chicago, Ill, and who has
been in this city about three weeks, is
under arrest at the First precinct station,
charged with the theft of a gold watch
from the home of Mrs. Mary Shannon, Ill
Second Street northeast. The watch has
been located by Detectives Horne and
Flather, who made the arrest.
The detectives say Pearson went TO the
home of Mrs. Shannon yesterday after
noon and made enquiry with view to
renting a room. While there he was left
alone for several moments, and Mrs.
Shannon claims he went into her bedroom
and took possession of gold watch, which
was lying on a small table. Shortly after
Pearson left, saying he would return and
take the room, the loss of the watch was
discovered, whereupon Mrs. Shannon hur-
ried 10 headquarters and made report of
the alleged theft. She gave a description
of Pearson, who was picked up on Penn
sylvania Avenue near Eleventh Street
northwest last night.
At the station Pearson said he was
clerk. Il was never arrested before.
There is some mistake" was all the
prisoner would say. He is twenty-seven
years old.

LUXURY IN TRAVELLING.
The Pennsylvania Railroads Twen-
tieth Century Coach "a Triumph.

In very few fields does the opening of
the twentieth century find greater ad-
vancement than in that of railway equip
ment. Every safety device that skill can
devise is applied to the practical opera
ton of the railroads, and the passengers
are surrounded by every convenience and
luxury.
The new standard coaches of the Penn
sylvania Railroad are the best examples
of American car building. In their design
and construction no expense has been
spared. The cars are fifty-three feet eight
inches in length, and are fitted with wide
vestibules. The platforms are strongly
constructed, and the couplers are of the
most approved type.
The interior is finished In Quartered oak,
and the OrnamentatiOn is ciasSed as Ro
maneSque. The Ight-colored wood with
it's handsomely finished surface lends a
brightness which is intensified by the high
pitch of the roof and the width of the
upper deck. The headlining, a soft shade
of green, conforms well TO the general
scheme of color.
Saloons are introduced at both ends of
the ears, in which there are the usual
toilet conVeniences. These saloons are
partitoned from the body of the car by
bulkheads ornamented with panels heavy
green glass, and brass grilles. All the
brass work is artistic. and the shades of
the deck tile, plush, and carpets harmon
ize with the general decorative effect.
The seats are of a new pattern; their
upholstery is rich in material and color,
and the system of springs on which they
are built adds greatly to their comfort.
The system OF lighting is compressed
gas. From five to six handsome lamps
introduced in the body of each car, and
one in each Vestibule, give an abundance
of light, and render the car very attract
i've at night
Sixty-three passengers may find com
Portable seats in each of these modern
coaches.
