CRIMINALS HOME LIFE.
The other side TO the story of Courts
and Prisons.
From the Dallas News.

From the Dallas News. o
Many instances go to prove the truth of
Mr.. Gilbert's assertion that
When the felon's not engaged in his en-
ployment
Or maturing his felonious little plans,
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is Just as great as any other mans.
The picture of the happy home life of
the man who stole the Gainsborough ror-
trait of the fair Georgiana, Duchess of
Devonshire, has been given to the public
lately through the newspapers. A dilet-
tante in art and judge of gems. it seems
he is, and, of course, a respected citizen
fond of children.
Then came the account of the pious
work of Shook, the counterfeiter, who has
been living for years under an assumed
name in Brooklyn, where he was a much
respected citizen and prominent in the
SInday-schools. 1t is by no means I'M

Some years ago there lived in Bristol,
England, a CHEEKY and lHind-hearted man,
tust past the middle age, known to all
the children in town as Uncle Billy Nash.
Mr. Nash had we'll furnished house and
ity as a retired West India merchant OF
means He was always doing good in
some way or other, his special hobby be-
ing kindness to children. Oh he was
such a benevolent, lovable old fellow. He
was all the time organizing entertain
ments for the dear children and treat
ing whole primary schools to taffy and
toys He used to gather children at his
house to witness Punch and Judy shows,
where he would stuff them with candy
and cake, and send each one away with
nice little present.
To the police dear old Uncle Billy was
known as Isaac Morgan, daring hotel
swinddler and jewel thief He found time
in the intervals of making glad the hearts
of the children of Bristol to commit some
of the cleverest jewel robberies on record.
One day he would be riding jewel casket
in some swell" hotel and the next, clad
in long frock coat and cashmere trou-
sers, distributing prizes to school children.
1t was he who stole the great Pi-beck
ruby from the Duchess Dues. His last
exploit in the line of his profession was
to steal the diamonds of the Princess
Elidoff from a hotel in Scarborough For
this crime he was run to earth by detec-
tives, and there were no more Punch and
Judy shows for Uncle Billy for eighteen
years.
A clever forger named Hooper, who
was known as the King OF the PEN" TO
the police, had a large house at Bourne
mouth and another in Brighton, where
he lived in luxury and piety as Mr.. Har-

She was cruel and abusive in her lam
guage to him, swore the plaintiff, until
finally he had been compelled to separ-

and he had not lived with his wife since

used as a textbook in the High School
In common with other books of the libra

ship. When it came back yesterday it
was accompanied by a letter from Walter
L. Brown, assistant superintendent of the
Buffalo Public Library. The letter stated
that it had just been handed one of the
attendants of the library by a stranger,
who had stated that he was tired of car
rying it around in his satchel. The book
plate of the High School Library had in
duced its return.
When or under what circumstances or

FIREMEN'S PET SHOT.
Was a wildcat That Had Escaped
and Sought Refuge Under a StOOp.

A rather unusual task was assigned Pa
troman Tullis. yesterday; he was called
on to kill wildcat that had sought a
haven of refuge under the stoop of No.
1903 Liberty street east.
The cat, formerly the property of Mr..
John Rourke, had been presented to Mr..
Bob Glass of Engine Company No s, and
escaped from the engine house Saturday
night by gnawing off a bar of its cage.
1t managed to keep its whereabouts Sc
cret until Sunday night, when it nearly
frightened the life out of colored resi-
dent of Liberty street lane, who was
walked up by the creature crawling over
him. The negro fed one way and the cat
another. and that was the last known of
the animal until yesterday morning, when
it was located under the stoop.
Tullis' bullet struck squarely in the
head, and all of the cats nine lives were
given up at once. The firemen took the
body and will have it stuffed, when it viii

tiers.

CROSSES NOT TO BE HAD.
And Presentation to Liberty County
Veterans Is Postponed.

The Daughters of the Confederacy will
not present the Southern Cross Of Honor
to the Confederate veterans of Liberty
county, as they had expected to do, on
next Saturday. There are none of the
crosses now to be obtained and the
Daughters must perforce postpone the
presentation until they can be manufac-
tured.
Mrs. A B. Hull, president of the Sa-
vannah Chapter, wrote for the crosses six
weeks ago and felt certain there would
be no trouble in securing them. She and
the other members of the chapter are
therefore the more bittrly disappointed
to learn now they cannot be obtained.
Capt u. H. McLaws had already ac
cepted an invitation to make the presen-
tation and a large party of the Daugh-
ters was going up to Hinesville on Sat-
urday 1t had been expected that at the
same time a Liberty county chapter of
Daughters of the Confederacy would be
organized and this part of the plan may
still be carried into execution.
