"A Baltimore Mystery.

The case of Miss Frances Caspari,
who was recently tried in Baltimore
upon the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, involves mys-
terry which Hawthorne would have
liked to analyze and Conan Doyle's
friend, Sherlock Holmes, might well
return to earth to unravel.
Miss Caspari has been principal OF a
public school in Baltimore. promi-
nent church worker. and secretary to
the pastor of one of the leading Uni
tartan churches in that city. During
her service in the latter capacity she
secured sums of money from the mem
bers, until the total reached $lSO,OOO,
upon the assurance that the money
would go to the Leaflet association OF
New York, which would pay the inves'
tors a dividend of from s to 10 pei
cent. Such confidence was reposed IL
Miss Caspari that most of the mem
bers advanced the money without quss-
ton not even asking for a receipt.
For time some dividends were paid
but when they ceased investors grew
suspicious and made an investigation.
They found there was no such associa'
ton and demanded settlement, with
the result that Miss Caspari was UNI
able to make good about one-half the
amount invested, and that many of the
checks were found to be worthless, be-
ing either forged or drawn upon banks

where she had no money. Then she
was arrested tried first upon the ques-
ton of sanity, and found sane, then
upon the legal charge and found guilty.
The mystery of the case is, first,
that Miss Caspari is woman OF ire
proachable character and of decided in
tellectual ability. She insists upon il
that the Leaflet association will make
the deficiency good even when con-
fronted with proof there is no such
association. She will not say where
the money was invested or by whom
She has not used the money herself,
has none of it in her possession and
it cannot be found that she has been
benefited a cents worth by her work.
Yet still she insists there is such an
organization and that it will pay in
time, while saying she knows no one
connected with it and nothing about it.
Her own counsel is as much in the
dark as any one else, and his theory is
that she is the tool of some stronger
minded person, upon whose suggestion
she has acted. 1t is apparent that Miss
Caspari either is much shrewder than
the ordinary criminal or that she has
been the victim of hypnotic suggestion.

AFRICAN TREK OK.
Its Use AS Transport and How It's Worn
Is Done.

II Zone.
At this present moment, when the
efficiency OF our army in South Africa
largely depends on the stability of its
. transport, it may not be amiss to con-
slider the capabilities of the trek, or
transport OK, who, after all, despite
mules and traction engines. is the
mainstay of South African transport,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The imperl-
al authorities in the Cape Colony and
Natal are now busily engaged in buy
ing all the available OK transport they
can, az is testified by their numerous
advertisements in Colonial papers.
Oxen are less expensive than mules.
They are slow, but sure, never doing
more than three miles an hour, or
twenty miles a day, which is consid-
cred a good trek. The Zulu OK is the
best bred animal, but small and unser-
viceable when compared with the bas-
tard Zulu or Natal OK, which thrives
on both the sour" welt or coast grass
and the sweet or up-country veldt
Oxen, however, require vary careful
handling, and must on no account be
overdriven; they must have at least
six hours a day for grazing purposes
In the winter they can find picking
on the parched veldt where mule or
horse would fail. They are naturally in
poor condition till the green grass OF
the spring arrives in September. They
are very liable to lung sickness and
red water. and whole spans sometimes
perish from these fell diseases. In the
winter time they suffer terribly from
the cold, and on no account should they
be worked in the rain during that sea-
son, for, among other things, the yoke
when wet gives them sore necks, thus
rendering them useless. The ox's best
work is done at night time, and moon
light tricks are the usual thing with
transport riders" after their teams
have been grazing all day. They are
never kept under the yoke for more
than eight hours during the day, two
stretches of four hours each. From 4
o'clock to in the morning and from
o'clock to 10 at night are the favorte
hours for trekking. AS to their haul
ing capacity, a span" or team OF
eighteen oxen will easily draw buck
wagon (weighing a little over tom,
loaded to six thousand pounds, over
the South African roads. many OF
which are little better than tracks
,,,tl 1au
for a heavy baggage column in such a
country as South Africa is really good
going.

Socialism In Gallcia.

Socialism is popular in Galcia on
account of the scandalous sweating
system that is everywhere rampant.
Several workmen from Kolbuszowa
have just made public some very strik-
ing facts and figures. Two agents had
engaged them to work at a brick fac
tory in Adofshutte Saxony, at the
rate of So IA month for ten hours day,
this amounting to about 10 cents a
day. Now the agents were paid at the
rate OF - pfennings trather over 9
ccnts) an hour, and thus got $40 a
month for each workman out of which
they paid the s. very easily. In win
ter they were paid Is pfennigs. and so,
to make sure of a greater gain, they
suspended payment for two months,
thus forcing the workmen. to remain.

Is built in series Of rectangular

with flight Of broad steps running up

more than 5000 years was the center

God was a great divinity anciently in

powerful influence over the minds Of

THE TRUEST HERO.
lie Is the Man Who Knows Fear and
Fights Against IL.


1T is so easy to mistake bravado for
bravery and recklessness for courage"
says Richard Harding Davis in Ev-
erybody's Magazine, and it is always
necessary to discriminate sharply be-
tween the man who does not know
fear and the man who knows it in all
its sickening horror, and who fights
against it and persists in his duty.
People always speak Of the man who
does not know what fear is as though
the fact were something greatly to his
credit. Instead of which, of course it
is something for which he is only to
be envied. and for which he should
be most grateful. A man who
smokes a lighted cigar over a powder
magazine if he does not know it is a
powder magazine performs no surprs-
ing feat. and praises bravery which
comes from ignorance of fear is like
applauding a man because he is not i'll
at sea. The ships steward, who is SO
sics that he cannot hold up his head.
but who forces himself to perform his
duties, is better man than the stew
ard with the cast-iron stomach who
laughs at him. The latter is in the
same class with the hero who does
not know fear. "
