Sale Of crlmInaI,s eelonalnas

An extraordinary sale took place a
few days ago at the state furniture de.
pot, in the Rue des Ecoles, Paris. This
consisted OF all kinds of objects which
have come into the possession OF the
authorities as a consequence of crimi-
nal proceedings and otherwise.
Among the objects put up for auction
was forger's press for printing bank
notes. The Bank Of France had
claimed this press in order to destroy
1t, but after viewing it, the bank Of

alarm, and abandoned 1t to the state.

Incident That Startled Bank Of Eng.
land Directors.
Years ago the directors OF the Bank
of England were startled by an invi.
tation sent by mail to meet an I'M
known man in the strong room of the
bank at midnight among the money
chests. 81 have been inside the bank
the last two nights" wrote the man,
.".but | am not a thief; so meet me in
the great square room with all the
money at IL tonight" Though the
letter was regarded as hoax, the
police were notified, and they guard
ed the strong room that night. Moth
ing happened. A few days later a
heavy chest or papers and securities
taken from the strong room arrived at
the bank, with letter complaining
that the directors had set the police
upon the writer and that therefore he
had not appeared as he promised;
but to prove that he was neither a
thief nor fool no sent chest Of
papers he had taken from the bank.
Let a few gentlemen be lone in the
room and he would join them at mid.
night, said the writer. This time his
instructions were obeyed. Then a
man with a dark lantern burst into
the strong room of the bank at mid
night after calling from behind the
stone walls for the directors to put
out the lights. He was one of a
strange class OF men who gained a
living by searching the sewers at
night and through an opening from a
sewer he had found his way into the
richest room In the world.

Isaac FinkIestein Meets Death During
Crusade in Des NIoiues.


Crusade in Des Moines.
Isaac Finkelstein. whose crusade
against public gambling closed the eight
houses in Des Moines few weeks ago,
was murdered at I'M alley entrance be-
tween 9th and 18th streets, on East Wal
nut street, Des Moines. He was on his
way home, less than block and half
away, when man stepped out of the
shadow of the alley and struck him a
blow over the head with single-tree.
Finkelstein fell to the ground. Four
men less than block away saw him fall
and ran to assist him. He was dead
when they arrived, his skull crushed.
Beyond the bloody single-tree which
was left beside the victim the only clew
to the murderer is a report that little
after the time of the murder one unrcc-
ognized man was overheard to say to an
other, II killed the -" and at another
time one man was heard to tell another,
keep your mouth shut"
The murder is supposed to have result
ed from Finkelstein's action in prosecu-
ting the gamblers. He did not object to
public gambling. but wanted the city to
receive revenue from it, he said, and
when the police did not raid the houses
he filed complaints with the Sheriff. The
resultant raids proved so expensive the
gamblers closed their places.
