STOPPING CRIMINALS.
Hard for Them to Successfully Dis
 guise Themselves.

guise Them selves.
 q can easily spot pielzpocket in crowd" said one of Washing tons best known detectives, who has been attached to the detective bureau at police headquarters for the last 15 years, in conyersa- tion with q Washington Star re- porter the other day. Tt is not necessary that I know my man by sight first before l can spot him. \ thief as q rule, you know, has a habit of glancing frequently over his shoulder in furtive manner to see that he is not being watched, and it IS by that habit that a thief has often betrayed his occupation to me.
 "Frequently l have had to track and identify men whom l have never seen, my only means of Identification being photograph taken years ago. This is usually very difficult to accomplish, however, as it is easy for the criminal radically to change his appearance. It is possible for a man to pose as a sailor, farmer, a tough or a pastor within, say, q hours Many criminals make q speciality of disguises, and 1 as sure you they can alter their ap- pearance to q remarkable degree.
 ''Disguises, however, no matter how cleverly got up, do not always conceal mans identity. There are for instance, the color and ex- pression of the eyes. These can not possibly be altered, and they have been one of my most ire quent aids in identifying fugi- lives. Another identification mark, although not an infallible one, but one nevertheless by which have on several occasions detected a criminal when other means failed me, are the cheek. bones. Like the color of the eyes, they cannot be changed.
 "Descriptions as to the weight and circumference of wanted man frequently prove faulty, and therefore unreliable as aids to de tection. This is especially so where the man has evaded the de tectives for any great length of tioe, for it is possible the criminal may have lost a great deal of his weight and corpulency, while on the other hand a spare man may have gained in avoirdupois and bulk. In such cases, however, I have in one OF two instances es- tablished the identity of the man l was after by his ears. As a rule the worst criminals have oddly shaped ears, and no matter how cleverly they may disguise them. selves they can seldom succeed in concealing their tell-tale ear marks from the detective who has already made their acquaintance
 'The eyebrows also afford an other means of personal identity because they are invariably dis tinctive and characteristic to the trained detective. About three years ago l captured one of our cleyerest crooks, a man who las served many terms in prison, by the peculiar slant of his eyebrows. At the time I arrested him he was wearing wig and a flowing black beard. The disguise might easily have deceived the casual obsery- CT, but to me there was one thing lacking to make it complete. He had forgotten to alter his eye brows, and they alone gave me the cue to his identity"

DELICATE OPERATION.
Of Opening the Brain May Cure Case
of Epilepsy.

From the New York Herald.
Physicians at Flower Hospital are await
ing with much interest the outcome of an
operation for the cure of epilepsy per-
formed there yesterday by DIR. William
Tod Helmuth. The skull of a young woman
who had been the victim of from Is to 20
epileptic fits day was opened and spic
MA of bone about quarter of an inch in
length was found imbedded in the brain.
1t was removed, and the hospital physi-
clans anticipate that the epileptic attacks
will cease result.
The patient was Miss Gerhardine Breu-
mig of No. 1877 Cedar street. She was
struck ove- the right eye by butcher
knife several weeks ago. The knife was
thrown with such force that the blade
penetrated the skull about inch and q
half above the eye. The wound healed
very quickly. leaving slight scar.
Less than fortnight afterward the
young woman became subject to attacks of
epilepsy, and then they increased until
, scarcely an hour passed without an attack.
During these fits she had visions Of per-
sons attacking her with knives. Her strug-
giles during these fits were SO violent that 1t
was impossible to restrain her.
The case came under the observation of
Dr. William Tod Helmuth. His diagnosis
was that the epileptic attacks were caused
by either a clot or splinter of bone press
ing on the brain. 1t was decided to open
up the skull.
Directly over the scar an incision about
an inch in length was made, exposing a
fracture Then with a trephine circular
piece of bone an inch in diameter was re-
moved. From the inside surface Of this
BUTTON" as the surgeons describe the piece
of bone removed, projected a splinter of
bone shaped like thorn. 1t had penetrat
ed the brain for about a quarter of an inch.
The surgeons were surprised to find that
there was no area of Inflammation at the
point where the splinter entered the brain.
After removing the splinter and stitching
the opening 1T had made in the brain tissue,
the button was replaced and the skin
over the wound sewed up. The patient
made an excellent recovery from the an
aesthetic, and the surgeons are confident
the operation will bring about a complete
cure of the epileptic condition.

WoMEN's WORK CHEAP.
Many of the Poor Fight Starvation at
Point of Needle.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
There is nothing so cheap as the
strength of women" said the Rev. Anna
Garlin Spencer, before the Women's Con-
ference of the Ethical Culture Society.
"On the farm labor-saYing appliances are
first secured for the man, and it is only a
long time after that anything is procured
to save the strength of the house mother.
That is the reason that she breaks down.
becomes prematurely old, or even goes
insane. In the cities it becomes night
mare to think how many women are
fighting starvation at the point of the
needle in the belated industry of sewing"
Mrs. Spencer was discussing the prob
lens of the sewing society and expressed
the opinion that sewing. simple and in
offensive it seems, is a dangerous Kind
of work to handle.
Sewing as a home industry can never
compete with organized industry, she
said Penelope with her needle, sur

be very pretty picture, but the handi-
craft of sewing is passing away, and we
cannot and ought not to wish to prevent
ii.
"A great many women who now try to
support their families by means OF the
sewing provided for them by philan-
thropic societies ought not to be forced
to earn at ALL, Mrs. Spencer continued.
'"rhey have more than they can do in
caring for their families. and ii would he
better to give them the money outright.
II they like the WORK ana II comes To
them as a change and recreation the case
is different. And this brings in another
aspect of the case So much of the work
we provide is dull and unpleasant. If we
could only find something new and inter-
esting it would not only brighten the
lives of our beneficiaries, but enable them
to do better work. People who are duh
and stupid at work they do not care for
will often brighten up and do excellently
at work that interests them.

thropists ought to try to utilize such tai

toned carpet rags tina, any woman can

that the workers may graduate into
the regular industrial ranks"
Mrs. Spencer also protested against the
making of garments to give away. ex-
cept in the case of those who find sewing
a recreation.
I'VE ought not to make work" she
said. "for well-to-do women. who can
easily employ themselves to much better

PNEUMONIA.
Rational Living a Strong Guard
Against Disease.
Guard

From the Chicago Record Herald
The plea for a simple life in these
times of plenty generally falls upon list
less ears so long as it pertains to any
abstention in the matter of gratifying
appetites and desires. The average per-
son is impressed with the need of re-
turn to the simple life. He frankly ac-
knOwledges the value of the simple life,
and says its a good thing"---for the
other fellow.
But when the doctor begins to talk
about pneumonia, one of the most
treacherous of all ailments and urges
the adoption of a simple and hygienic
regimen as the surest way of avoiding
ill., the high liver" pricks up his ears
and shows signs of becoming interested.
In its last weekly bulletin the department
Of public health calls attention to the in
crease in the number of deaths from pneu-
monia, and follows it with timely exhor-
tation to 1.-THE simple life" 1t does not oc-
cur TO the average layman, of course, that
his habit of life has any relation to his
susceptibility to an attack from this dis
ease. As matter of fact. almost any per-
son in good health may defend himself
against this disease by the practice of the
simpler and more natural modes of life.
On this subject the health bulletin advises:
simpler housing, with abundant facili-
ties for the access of sunshine and fresh
AIR and space enough Tor each individual,
a simpler raiment, which shall preserve the
natural power of the skin to resist the eff
fects of draushts and chlls and colds
a simpler dietary, which shall not oVertaX
the digestive system. and less cookery, so
that the teeth may have sufficient exercise
to prevent their premature decay; more
exercise in the open air, and, in general,
resort to the simpler and. more natural
modes of life to which each and every one
of Us was born. and out of which each and
every one of US is removed as promptly as
civilization can act.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung
tissue. In persons who are addicted to eN-
cesses in eating and drinking, however,
and who give very little attention to the
ordinary laws of hygiene. pneumonia is very
apt to be complicated with some other dis
ease such as typhoid. Where the digestion
has become impaired by overeating or by
eating poorly cooked non-nutritious food
and the respiratory functions and circula-
ton have been weakened by continuous
sedentary employment. with very little
erciSe or outdoor air. there is apt to be lit
tie resisting recuperative power.
The warning of the health bureau is time
ly and sensible.

The change that has come over Mexico

by glancing over the history of that

which he still holds. Between 1851 and
1883 Arista, Herrera Santa Anna, Carrera,

WANT TO COME BACK.
Negroes Who Emigrated From Georgia
to Liberia

There is a movement on foot to bring
back from Liberia the Irwin county, Ca,
negroes who emigrated last February to
that country. The predicament of these ne
groes was described in letter from the
American minister resident and consul gen.
eral at Monrovia to Mr.. Hay, Secretary of
State The report of Minister Lyon to
Secretary Hay is as follows:
Il have to inform you that in the month
of February of the present year a party of
fifty-siZ colored persons, consisting Of males
and females and children. left Irwin county,
Ga. as immigrants for Monrovia. Liberia,
under the leadership of one B. J. Scott
"On their arrival the Lberian government
did Its best to assist them in overcoming
the rigor of the climate and in supplying
them with food until the land which had
been given them could produce something
for their SuStenance.
Since then. however, twenty of the num-
Der have died al Cheesemanburg the place
assigned them by the government. For the
lack of homes they were all put in a house
of TWO rooms, where they died, one after the
other. from the want of food and medicine.
'ThirtysiX of this number still remain
in sickly and destitute condition. Sixteen
are still at Cheesemanburg. Twenty-Five
have returned to Monroyia; these are
ragged. starving and homeless. Five of
them will return to the United States by
the first English steamer to Liverpool, on
or about the LIST of October 1903, their
transportation having been arranged by
friends in the United States.
There being no provision for relief in
cases of this kind we had to help them
from our private purse. We soon. however
discovered that. we could not give much
