MAID CAUGHT A BURGLAR.
nsw . Dtsseest New York Servant
AAsoissy Brought the Police
Ratrol. 44y

A rather curious method of burglar
catching ues resorted to by an in
genious maid servant recently in New
York. Whiis in pursuit of her house
hold duties the mad noticed a mans
foot inside the cl thes closet. She
did not scream, nei her did she jump
At The DOOR, nor SHIT IL with bang;
instead she took broom and began
10 swssp tAst eer .er of the room
near the elpset Her approach was
gradual, and the sweeping was done
80 naturally that it would not have
aroused the most Suspicious burglar.
Al last tie broom srushed the dpor
gently, but hard enough to close II
70 the traction of an inch. WSth
Ave or six more gentle sweeps thAt
sloeet 6sor was shut and almost
letched, which she st length sue
sssdsd in doing by gently pressing
Asr arm against IL.
As the telephone In her house was
20 near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her il she called
for assistance, she bethought herself
Of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone inemen were at the
time making repairs on wire that
runs TO another house in the block.
She went out and spoke to them.
They promptly tapped wire. at
tached a testing instrument and
called up one Of the downtown ex-
changes, which in turn called up po-
Rec headquarters. From there the
call was sent 70 the police station
nearest the house and two policemen
we're sent around and got the man.

VICTORIA AND HER SERVANTS.

Englsnd's Late Monarch Was Qni q

Ii is perhaps not surprising that the
late Queen Victoria was not bothered
with the servant girl problem. So
great was the rivalry to get into the
royal household that its mistress could
have her pick of the best the land az
forded. Few women, however, no
matter what their station. so won the
affectlcns of her servants. She was
81 years old ana walked with difficulty
when one of her housemaids fell i'll at
Windsor castle and was confined to
her bed in a room which was high up
, in the building and could only be ap-
preached by several flights of stairs.
One of the canons of Windsor paid her
visit, and remarked upon the in
valid's peculiarly radiant expression,
and also made half jocular al!usion.

the prophecy would come true. It's

in mind that when she made her pre-
diction concerning the queen her ma
jesty was, as far as known, in her
usual health and bade fair to live
many years. In fact, it was the con-
sensus of medical opinion that her
death was many years distant.
Mrs. Rathbone suffered considerably
when she made her prediction con-
cerning the queens death, for such
prediction. as might easily be imag-
ined, was by no means popular and
was received with much opposition. In
fact, the local Dogberry, one White
construed the prophecy into a species
of treason and was for unceremonious-
ly placing Mrs. Rathbone in jail-and
but for this the prediction would never
have received the general publicity
that thus was accorded it.
Justice Whites attempt to punish
Mrs. Rathbone was thus the very thing
that brought her into notice. The at
tempt was a failure, of course, there
being no law in England against
prophecy save the scriptural law that

his own country. But the ill-advised
utterances of the magistrate and his

THE ST. JOSEPH -

The Indictment Of Mrs. Addie Rich
ardson by the grand jury on the
charge of numbering her husband,
Frank Richardson. has served to stir
anew interest in this mysterious case.
The time for the trial is now not far
away and throughout the county the
probable verdict of the jury is the
chief topic of discussion. On this
point there is divergence or opinion,

In less than one hour after Rich
ardson was known to be dead at his
home on Christian Ridge. the night
before Christmas, it was confidently
asserted that he had committed sui

widow of the dead merchant, was the
first to create the impression that he

Richardson was supposed to have shot

While the sounds of mourning for

slowly and with difficulty learning to
say the King" and anecdote upon an
ecdote about her late majesty is eager
ly discussed, one story goes the
rounds considered by some persons the
most wonderful of them all 1t relates
only incidentally to the queen and
most directly to a Mrs. Rathbone.
lady residing in Cheshire, who, on Au-
gust %, 1900, predicted the very day OF
the queens death. Not only did Mrs.
Rathbone predict the very date of the
queens death, but foretold the precise
malady OF which her majesty would
expire.
This statement was made in writing
on the day named. and read:
The next great national event will
be the death of the queen. This Is
now very near and can see her cloud
distinctly and the whole nation in
mourning. 1t will not be this year, but
carly next year, on the 22d of Jan
uary, and the cause OF her death will
be paralysis"
Some Significance was attached to
this statement at the time by reason OF
Mrs. Rathbone's reputation for clair
voyance. or second sight. which had
enabled her on more than one occa-
sion to accurately foretell the most
Important events in which her family
and circle of friends were interested.
Mrs. Rathbone is young woman,
whose people are by no means in at
fluent circumstances, but she does not
engage in the practice of clairvoyance
as profession.
In the locality where she lives Mrs.
Rathbone has thus won considerable
repute. Her revelations come to her
casually and without prearrangement,
and she expressly disclaims all ability
to foretell events other man such as
are quite unexpectedly revealed to
her. In times past she has accurately
foretold the date OF the death OF

A Popular Name.

Not counting the national capital,
there are forty-four towns and cities
bearing the name of Washington. No
doubt more communities would have
thus honored the memory of the father
of his country but for the prohibition
of the postoiiice department of more
than one postofiice of the same name
in state. There is in nearly every
state county called Washing
ton But the most popular
use of the name has come
to light in the pension bureau. In GER
tain parts of the country a rushing
business is being done by attorneys

of colored soldiers who served during
