OF CRIME.
Adam Worth, Alias Raymond, Die,
in London.

Adam Worth, Alias Raymond, Die,
in London. /.
Adam Worth, alias Henry j. Ray
mond. and known us the Napoleon OF
Crime," is dead in London, and with the
announcement Of his death Friday al
the details of the recovery of the celcbra
ted Gainsborough painting were made
public in Chicago.
When the famous picture was returned
to its owner in Chicago last April there
Were many surprises as to the medium oil
its return.
William A. Pinkerton, who made the
formal announcement of the recovery OF
the painting, refused to confirm or deny
IL of the stories. Now that Worth is
dead, Mr.. Pinkerton can speak. Worth
gave him written permission to reveal
the Gainsborough secret after he had
died.
Wrapped i'll oil cloth, the canvas was
handed to G. Moreland Agnew one morn.
ing last April in ChicaaR by Worth, who
twenty-five years bef had cut the
painting from it's frame in the Agnew
galleries in London.
The return Of the painting took place
III MIR. Pinkerton's private Office. The
owner of the picture hurried back to
London for fear the United States au.
thorities would demand a customs duty
on the work, which had been secreted in
this country for fifteen years.
1t was while in London that Worth
conceived the idea of carrying off the
Gainsborough picture. His first plan
was to rob the Royal Academy of its
art treasures. Then he changed his mind
and directed his attention to the Gains.
borough picture. Assisted by his part.
ner, he climbed into the Agnew galleries
one night, cut the painting from its can.
vas and carried it away.
Worth owned a steam yacht, and the
canvas was taken aboard and concealed
there until he sold the vessel to Lord
l.onsdalc. Then he took the picture to
Paris. and finally brought it to America,
whlr it was concealed for fifteen years.
In the meantime, Worth was arrested
i'll Brussels and forced to serve seven
years.
MIR. Pinkerton had known Worth fo1
thirty years. Two years ago Mr.. Pink
crton received a telegram telling him
that an important letter was at his home.
The letter was from Worth, who asked
an interview. This was granted, and
Worth said he was going to die, and
wanted to turn up" the Gainsborough
picture. in order that his two children
who had been educated in a convent
might enjoy the proceeds.
Through a hitch the picture was not
recovered at that time. Worth returned
to London, and early last spring he full.
filled his bargain.

SOUTH DAKOTA FINANCES.
Revenue Warrants Due April 1 Ar,
to Be Extended One Year.

Revenue Warrants Due April I Are
to Be Extended One Year.
The matter OF state finances were I'M
der consideration last week by Gov. Her.
reid, Treasurer Schambcr and Auditor
Reeves, the occasion of the meeting be-
ing the fact that thetreasmry had reached
"A stage where it had become necessary
to register warrants. and the further fact
that $150,000 of revenue warrants will
become due April 1, with the certainty
that the venue will not he sufficient
to meet them ut that date. The principal
action which was taken was that of OK
tending the revenue warrants which will
be due April / for one year at the same
rate of interest, 4A per cent. The treas
ury also has begun registering warrants,
which will probably be necessary until
some time in April, when the March call
for taxes will be sent in by the coun-
ties.
This condition of affairs is likely TO
prevail for some time in the state, until
something is devised to in some way
place valuations on property at IL reason-
able point, instead of far below its actual
worth.

mechanism in the city was called out,
but fire and gale were masters. A great
tofe66f flames rose high in the air, light
ing up the country for many miles, and
carrying u threat and warning to the
people and property in it's path. There
were efforts to rescue furniture and
stock, but the speed with which the fire
moved gave the rescuers little time.
Property was often moved to n place of
presumed safety, only to be eventually
reached and destroyed. The warning to
many was brief, md they were forced to
lee scantily clad into the streets glazed
over with ice and swept by the keen
wind.

OF SUICIDES.
Fewer Among Germans than yorn,erlS
and More Among NegrOSs.

Fewer Among Germans than corners
and More Among NegroSs.
Two peculiarities are shown IN the
recently published figures of suicSoes
in American cities-the recession OF ma
tiyes of Germany from the head OF the
list which they long held, and an In
crease in the number Of suicides among
colored people.
In the last published report on the
subject in this city, all boroughs. 1t was
seen for the first time that there were
more suicides by natives Of the United
States than by those of Germany.
though the disparity was very SMALL
The change is explained in part by the
fact that while the number of Germans
men who commit suicide is larger
that of male suicides of any other coun--
try, suicide by Germen women is COM
p%aratively rare and gets rarer each
year.
The suicides of colored people have
been more conspicuously observed IN
the large cities of the South than in
northern cities, where the colored pop
ulation is small and is not increasing.
and the explanation of it is found in q
single phrase-city life. Colored resi-
dents of farms or small towns seldom,
commit or attempt suicide; it is in the
large cities, where the struggle for ex-
lstencc is under conditions most unfa--
vorable to colored men, that a few Of
them overcome their repugnance to-
such an act Of violence.
In proportion to the total population.
suicides among Englishmen residing in
the United States are very much more
frequent than among residents of Irish
birth. Among male natives of France,
aud Switzerland in the United States;
the rate of suicides is light; among wo-
men from France or Switzerland there.
is practically none at all.
In respect to the total number Of sui
cides compared with the population,
Chicago and San Francisco rank high
est among American cities. Baltimore
and Richmond are low ON the list. In
New York City the ratio of suicides is
higher in Queens than in the Bronx
New York Sun.
