CLEVER CAPTURE OF THIEF.
John NOVEL;, Colored, Who Took valuables
From Mr.. Chas. Smith.

Mr. Chas. Smith, we'll known farmer
OF this county, who imbibed too freely
of the liquid that cheers, was held up
Saturday night by John NOVEL;, a col
ored hackman and separated from a
handsome gold watch, such money as he
had on his person and pocket knife.
NOVEL; managed his crime with some
skill, but he left a loop hole in his work
by appropriating the knife to immediate
purposes. Clever detective work by the
police did the rest, and the negro is now
il Jail under 5000 bonds, while farmer
Smith has regained possession of his
valuables.
Mr.. Smith took few more drinks than
he needed Saturday and when he started
home Saturday night he was not in full
possession of his faculties. NOVEL; saw
him a. -'arted home in his buggy and
proceeded to take advantage of his I'M
fortunate condition. He took possession
of the vehicle and it's occupant, driving
in the side entrance of Harding's stable.
Ordinarily this entrance is locked at
night but on Saturday the lock was not
properly caught. After getting his vic
through him. His booty consisted of a
dollar in change and a knife.
When Mr.. Smith came around all right
he realized what had happened and re-
ported the matter to the police. re-
ceipt that the robber had dropped in the
stable gave unmistakable evidence of a
robbery. Investigation revealed the fact
that NOVEL; had been seen with Mr..
Smith. Officers Walters and Thompson
10
sought NOVEL; and when arrested the
knife of the victim was found on his per-
son. NOVEL; was emphatic and positive
in declaring that he was innocent. He
saw this would not work and finally give
in, contrasting everything He told where
the watch was concealed in the stables
and the officers went there and recovered
it..
Mayor Powell sent NOVEL; on to court
and in default of 5000 bond he was placed
in Jail.

.SeverifY at CasfIe Garden.

According to the law, an alien who
goes from this country to Europe and
returns must be inspected and passed
upon as rigidly as new immigrant.
When the Germanic arrived at New
York the other day it had on board
weil-to-do Philadelphia merchant, AL
bert Priestman. who had been abroad
to buy goods. Though Mr.. Priestman
has lived in Philadelphia fifteen years,
has married an American wife and Is
he father of several children born in
this country, he has not taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to become
citizen of the United States, not car
ing to relieve himself of allegiance to
the British crown. Accordingly ne
was inspected to see whether he was
liable to become public charge and
hence should not be allowed to enter
the country. The official of the ma
rine hospital service who examined
him discovered that he had an arti-
fetal left arm, and though Mr. Priest
man brought proof of his business
standing and showed the officials n GER
titled check for $4,000, they insisted
that he must be detained on Ellis is
land for examination and investiga-
ton. In vain did Mr.. Priestman pro-
test that he had been across the ocean
dozen times before with this same
artificial arm. or that he would fur
nish bonds for his appearance. Finally
he was paroled over night in custody
Of the superintendent of the steamship
line, and the next morning he was
compelled to undergo an examination.

Alcoholism and MfcrobcS.

There is nothing new in the recent
ly vaunted animal experiments at
Paris showing that lower grades of
living creatures IL alcohollzed are more
sensitive to disease than others OF
temperate habits. Alcohollzed animals
are unable to resist infection with the
bacilli of consumption, cancer, diph-
iberia and kindred diseases. The prog
eny of alcoholized guinea pigs have
proved so weak that they live but a
short time or are born dead.

orative proofs that intemperance

Russell Harrfron's debt.

1t is claimed that the chief debt
OF Russell b. Harrison to his father,
all of which was remitted in the WILL
consisted of the amount expended in
fitting HIM out for service during the
Spanish American war. General Har-
rison wished to present his son with
equipment, tu: Russell would not ac-
cept 1t save as loan. That loan was
never repaid and that is the debt
which was remitted in the will.
The bequest of General Harrison of
his sash and sword to any posthumous
son that might be born is said by this
friend of the former president to be
due to his desire to have these en-
blems of his military service descend
to member of the family bearing his
full name 1t appears that when Rus
sell B. Harrison's son was born he
and his father disagreed as to the
name the boy should have. The for
mer president wished and urged that
he be given the name of Benjamin.
Russell would not agree to this, but
gave the boy the name of william
Henry Harrison. the name OF his dis
tingulshed great-grandfather The
sash and sword will in all probability,
descend under the provisions of the
will To the generals grandson.

masters at Harrow, and for five years
thereafter was head master of Marl-
borough college, a position he held
with great distinction. Among his
other offices was that of honorary

archdeacon of Westminster, and in
1895 he was appointed dean of Canter-

Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins celebrated the

CroubIe sUffb Venezuela.

Venezuela has been independent for
eighty years. During that period it
has nominally been a republic. The
different constitutions it has had have
recognized the principles of free, dem
ocratic government as completely as
does that of the United States, which
was taken as a model. Nevertheless,
Venezuela is not yet genuine repub-
lie. 1t has not yet free institutions
except on paper. 1t is not ruled by
laws. but by a despot. While the ac-
count of the existing condition of af
fairs in Venezuela printed in the New
correct in all its details. it is correct
as to the main points. Eighteen
months ago Cipriano Castro headed a
revolutionary movement, drove out
President Andrade. and installed him
self as dictator. There is congress
but it is made up of men chosen by
the dictator. There are judges, but if
their decisions do not suit him, he
throws them into prison and keeps
them there until they admit they were
quite mistaken as to the law. All Of
ficials hold their places only so long
as the dictator does not distrust them.
Those whom he suspects he removes
and sometimes imprisons. During his
first month of power the dictator had
a number of wealthy bankers and
merchants brought before him and as
sessed them from $4,000 to s6O,O00
apiece for the support of his govern
ment.
