To Make Bicycle Theft Grand Larceny.

To Make Bicycle Theft Grand Larceny.
They used to hang men out West for
horse-stealing. Perhaps they do now,
sometimes. But the bicycle has taken
the place Of the horse to a great ex-
tent. Now the price Of bicycles has
come down SO much that the theft Of
these aids to locomotion constitute
simply petit larceny, the punishment
for which does not seem to fit the
crime Of stealing an article which is
as necessary as the horse was in the
olden days. So in Colorado they are
talking Of revising the definitions Of
the grades of the crime Of stealing. A
oill has been introduced In the Legis-
at,lre having for its purpose the grad
3 of the crime according to the util-
Y OF the stolen article. So the bill
ill call the theft Of q bicycle grand
srceuy and q felony, punishable by
imprisonment ID The panitsntleF7tu

INSURANCE sw1NDLER ESCAPES

Alexandria. Percy B. Sullivan,
alias Edw. J. Brisbane, the insurance
swindler, who pleaded guilty in the
district court about two weeks ago to
the charges against HIM for obtaining
money under false pretenses and was
serving sentence Of ninety days
therefore, made his escape from the
parish Jail Friday night. It appears
that when Jailer Stafford went early
in the night to lock the prisoners In
their cells Sullivan concealed himself
in the hallway Of the Jail and the
jailer was not aware of the fact that
i ne was not in the cell when he locked
it. After he went down stairs it is
supposed that Sullivan went to work
to effect his escape, but it is not
known at what time he succeeded in
getting out. He dug q hole in through
the brick wall Of the Jail, making an
opening about fifteen inches in
diameter, which he crawled through,
having first cut the canvas in his coat
into strips, which he fastened on the
inside and with which he let himself
down to the ground.

Possibly the strike Of the ladies,


taiIors and O consequent slackness in
ladies' fas!s~aAs, may account for the
fact that Paris has lately been taking
a particular interest in masculine, not
feminine, attire. After the question
of the frock coat has come that Of the
ton hat. The headsear which remained
pre-eminent throughout the nineteenth
century is said now to be doomed, by
a dictate, not OF fashion, but Of the
authorities. 1t must at once be added
q. that the Top hat has not been pro-
scribed throughout the length and
breadth of the land, but only in one
commune of France. The mayor Of
Z this locality has issued an edict threat
ening pain Of fine and imprisonment
as the hat in question is undemocratlc.
French municipal magnates are dis
playing a great zeal for regulating cos
tune, and the present Is only one Of
series of edicts on dress in various
towns in France. One mayor had
vetoed the wearing Of "bloomers" by
ladies within the limits Of his juris-
diction, and several others had issued,
in their respective communes, enact
mcnts prohibiting priests from appear

Question 90 be Tested 90 VIII Ahect
Prices Very NiateriaIiy-Number

New York, April "a special to the
Times, from Washington, says;
At the war department much Interest
is felt in the determination Of the case

right OF Great Britain to obtain Il sup
ply Of horses and mules for South Afrl-
can service In the United states The
impression ls that the view of the de-
partment OF state that the citizens or
the United Safes may sell horses and
mules to the citizens of Great Britain
without subjecting the government to
the charge of violation Of the neutral
lty laws will prevail In the New Orleans
court If il does not the immediate eff
feet Of a decision fayorlng the argu-
ments Of the Boer representatives
would be to create a very decided diff
ference I'm the cost Of animals TO the
United States government and a great
deal of dlssa tisfaction among dealers in
horses and mules who have been OBJ
tanning high prices for animals for two
years or more.
There were shipped from this country
to Africa during the eight months end
ing with February, 2l,3i2 horses valued
AT $l99S67O. In the same period there
were shipped, principally TO Africa b.
594 mules at $1,000, 800; in February
alone the shipments Of horses to Africa
were 1850 and Of mules to all points,
assumed to be chiefly to Africa $3.50 II
does not appear that any OF these
horses and mules went TO the Beers
but IL Is maintained that there would
be no objection to selling to the Beers
II they wished to buy and were willing
to take chances in having their car
goes captured on the way out.
The effect OF these great shipments
OF horses and mules has been to run
the prices for these animals up far
above the usual rates. The United
states government has had to pay the
prices established by the British de-
mand, The railroads and the dealers
