A hideous double crime has just been
confessed by French convict now at
Noumea. 1t appears that in 1896 he
murdered his wife at vironehaux, near
Crecy, and threw~her body into well.
To divert suspicion from himself he
then assassinated a neighbor and bur-
led his remains in wood. The miss
ing man was sentenced to twenty
years penal servitude by default. The
husband was afterward arrested for
trying to burn down his house, and
sentenced to penal servitude for life.
The buried remains OF his second vic
tim have been found and exhumed.

MARY M,cANN.

harVestS were reaped among the peo-
pie whose names appear daily in the
society columns and in the list OF
steamship arrivals. When arrested
there were found in the house hun
dreds of letters already sealed and
stamped, ready to be posted They
told divers tales of hardships.
The plan usually followed was to
write to some charitable woman
prominent in society and pose as a
former maid at the woman's house.
Her letter would state that she had
left her employment to get married,
that she had prospered for a time but
that her husband, fireman, had been
injured by falling wall and that all
their savings were gone and they we're
face to face with starvation. Their
rent was overdue and the landlord was
importunate. In view Of her past
faithful services, she made bold to re-
quest $40 to satisfy the landlord and
thus keep roof over their heads while
she paid the living expenses by taking
In washing. Such a letter usually re-
suited In check of good proportions
being forwarded and Mary would Sc
lect a new victim.
The matter finally came to the at
tention of the authorities and the
clever swindler now languishes in Jail.
The "PanhandIers."
The three other rich beggars SEN
fenced belong to different school,
known in East Side parlance as the
"panhandleTs." One Of them, Charles
Berkowitz, came to New York from
Poland fifteen years ago. He was
| hopeful Of learning a trade, but his
uncle had other plans for the boy. He
bought the boy tin cup, taught him
to roll his eyes back and look at the
sun and then stationed him at busy
corner of the city. At first young
Berkowitz cried with the pain that
came from rolling his eyes up at the
hot sun all day long He was afraid
of going blind in earnest. However.
1t took but little persuasion on the
part OF the uncle to make him under
stand that better living could be
made at begging without eyes than
with them, and after a few years
crutches. blind eyes and sores. but all
Charles BeTkowitz was stone blind.
The uncle died and then the blind beg
gar had all his earnings to himself.
He invested his money In East Side
real estate and is now possessed OF a
considerable fortune.
The cases cited are but two Of many
schemes which are successfully worked
in the great city, but the police find
II almost impossible to discover the
frauds. From time to time, rumors
reach the authorities regarding so
called beggars' schools. where mendi-
cants are taught the tricks OF the
trade and furnished with the necessary
begging pararhernalia. such as

New York Letter

NANNN III n hsCA1NAsJ
On the great East Side of New York,
among other peculiar things of inter-
est are the mendicant aristocrats-men
and women whose trade is begging
and who have made the business pay.
From the Bowery east to Essex street
and from Delaney south to Bayard,
constitutes tine stronghold of the 500
professional beggars of the me-
tropolis. and within the area thus
bounded the susceptible public is
tieeced out of vast sums daily. The
methods of extortion pursued are va
ried and. so clever are the petitioners
for aid, the danger of police interior
ence is reduced TO minimum. With
In the last month, however, the four
richest of these 500 professional beg
gars have been captured and sent up
to Blackwell's Island-the notorious
Mary McCann for a year. and Charles
Berkowitz. Fred Allen and Joseph
Buckley for one month each. The
methods employed by any one of these
equal. II they do not exceed, in clev-
erness the impositions practiced by the
Burgundian mendicants of the Middle
Ages. The most ingenious method fol-
lowed was that which has made Mary
Mccain independently rich.
Mary McCann's Clever Method.
The fortune Of Mary, wife OF Pat
rick Mccain. laborer, is conserva-
lively estimated at 100000 and it has
been deposited under different names
in various savings banks of the city.
Mary is a comedy woman OF 40 years
and in her appearance there is moth
ing TO suggest an exponent OF the
highest art of begging. She has never
been seen to solicit aims. all her time
having been spent at her little tene-
ment with her children But in the
privacy Of her big rooms, she was
constantly doing a big business in
writing to rich men and women for
financial assistance Her methods me-
cessitated keen insight into human
nature, an intimate knowledge OF the
lives and habits of the best society,
and versatile pen. She rarely troub-
led any man or woman whose name
was not prominent. and her biggest

and the Ohio member of the Demo
crate national committee. to the su-
perior organization of the Republicans
and other causes.
The Republicans attribute the result
largely to the popular desire not to
disturb the prevailing prosperity, in
accordance with Senator Hannas ap-
peal to .'let well enough alone" to the
desire to support President Roosevelt
in carrying out the policies of Nc
Kinley and to the endorsement of
Governor Nash and Senator Foraker
Chairman Dick sent a messenger to
Governor Nash at the statehouse and
kilograms to Senator Foraker at Gin
cinnati and Senator Hanna at Cleve-
land. congratulating them on these
lines.
The Republicans are so elated over
their triumph that they are talking
of Congressman Dick, who has been
chairman of their state committee
for IL years, for governor two years
hence, when Senator Hanna stands
for reelection, and it Is currently re-
ported that John r. Mclean then will
be the Democratic candidate for SEN
ator. It is generally believed that
Hon. Charles w Baker of Cincinnati
who has been an avowed candidate
against Foraker. will receive the COM
plimentary vote of the Democratic
minority in the present legislature
for senator.

E. B. Shiveley, the civil engineer, is

of Harry Weber, who took him out
of high school and with whom he
worked for five years. He installed
the electric light plant at Cambridge
and was in charge for two years and
thus became well acquainted in this
city. He then went to Owensboro,
Ky, where he is city civil engineer
and his first report appears in the
papers there this week. He sends a
copy to Mr.. Weber. 4 point of in

was mastery diagnosis of one OF
Shakespeare s most in teresting plays.
DR.. Moulton does not deal so much
with the art as with the ethics al
Shakespeare and there is a rich field
in King Lear for his peculiar treat
ment. Dr. Moulton is born actor
and would have made great success
on the stage. He called the stage

falling off in the vote throughout the

40 and so per cent in the total vote,
and the average loss for the state
being one-fifth the total vote of two

Tomorrow.

The 18th annual reunion of the
lzlth indiana volunteer infantry and
the 10Th Indiana battery occurs at
Centersille tomorrow and next day
and good hot time in the old town
is certain.
The regiment and battery are
largely local. There were many
members from this city and vicinity
and from Winchester, Connersville,
etc Among those from this city are
DIR. G. S. Wilson who was a corporal,
Joseph Betzold, John Lancaster,
Jeremiah Nelson and VIM. Ballenger.

Capt. G. &. Jackson of Centerville
loo al president; Lieut. Traub, lndl-
annapolis, secretary. Among others
We known are George Oldham now
sheriff of Fayette county. DR.. Wilson
has an old record of the regiment
made at the city of Wash
ington in 1865. They were in camp
here and went to indianapolis
March Is, 1864, leaving there for
Louisville on the 10Th. They were
at Nashville on the 26th, and marched
from there to Athens, 250 miles, in
% DAYS. They were in the front and
s.sirmish line in the Atlanta campaign
without cessation, and with Sherman
at the fall of Atlanta. They arrived
at Franklin the day of the battle and
were in that battle, Nov. 30, aud in
the battle of Nashville two weeks
after, and followed the enemy to Cliff
ton, Tenn, where they were placed
on transports and were taken to
Washington, D. c., where, says
the old record. I'VE are, at the pres
ent time, February 10, 1863" They
we're in the battles of Columbia,
Tenn Wise's Fork, n. c., Franklin
and Atlanta. They were retired in
1865. DIR. Wilson record is of his
company only. The boys were in
camp here on the historical cold new
years day of 1864, and it was SO cold
they could not be kept warm and
were allowed to go home. Richard
Gates was frozen to death. Stephen
Brooks died here on January 3, from
the effects of the cold.
