A METEORIC CAREER

Back in the seventies and eighties,
when the United States had negotiated
only a few extradition treaties, it came
my way to go after and endeavor to
snag a lot of criminals in various parts
of the world" said Charlie Heidel-
berg, one of the noted detectives I'M

York, who was in Washington last
week. "All sorts of schemes had to be
framed up to land these fugitives on
American soil. One case that l remem-
Der particularly was that of young
fellow who made the hop from New
York to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in
1886. In the absence in Europe of his
employer he had Quilted the art store
of which he was the manager. He
cleaned up $4,000 before he bolted for
it.
"He was good-looking chap of
thirty or SO, inclined to society stunts.
Within less than a month the Ameri-
can consul at Tegucigalpa-al of the

the police in such cases-sprung him.
The old man sent me down to Hon

This is fly, Archie, that you're

when I was about to start, and there's
no treaty with Honduras, of course,

Many of the newest theater coats are
of lace over cloth or silk, and while
charmingly simple in detail, possess a
smartness that betokens the Paris
ian origin. Handmade they are, of
Russian silk braids in lovely designs,
showing innumerable lace stitches of
many varieties, and rarely more than
little below the hip in length. The
one Illustrated is black, mounted over
pale salmon broadcloth, which is lined
with brocade in the same color. The
back is shaped to fall in soft folds be-
low shoulders, and the fronts are loose
The shoulder cape is well rounded up
at front corners, finishing under a
white MORE astrakhan stole, which is
embroidered in black and gold and
finished at ends with very heavy black
chenille fringe. The sleeves are large
and full and accordion plated black
chiffon in two narrow rows border the
deep cuff. Another lovely coat of the
same character was soft earth brown
shade made up over accordion plated
self-tone chiffon, with silk under that.
This was trimmed with very beautiful
rhinestone buttons in openwork design

This one was part Of an outfit for 1t
Southern trip, as it possessed but lit
tie warmth. In making over black
cloth evening coat, one of these short
lace jackets would transform it into
a very Frenchy affair, with but little
trouble, and one in creamy white would
be stunning. The little fur capetes for
evening wear are. most captivating;
one of ermine was Goquettishly trimmed
with some little pink ostrich tips and
a rhinestone buckle. Another in small
turban shape With, draped brim was Of
white MORE astrakhan and on this at
left was large hrosette of applique
lace, with one short dangling scarf end,
held by a rhinestone buckle, which also
caught the end of a black osprey that
tipped toward front. Miroir and paon
velvet hats in the pale tints, with

coming creations with no evidence Of

flowers or feathers or gauzy butter

is used little fur may be introduced,
but this season the espreys have almost
supplanted the latter.

AN INTERLUDE.

The band was madly playing
Some classic thing or other;
The brassses, with their braying
The woodwind tried to smother;
Trombone with drum disputed;
Comets the air were rending;

And gave no hint of ending.
Then all of a sudden
With biff bangi crash.
The music ceased!
And people who were telling
The news to people near them,
Discovered they were yelling

While scandal most astounding
Which they had been revealing
Went roaring and resounding
Against the walls and ceiling.
Everyone heard it.
And coughed. blushed or sneezed

In 1899 while he was Governor of

mended in the bighist terms Colonel
Alexander S. Bacon for his article IN

.No one should be permitted to hold the
on any division or brigade staff in the
regular army unless he be q graduate OF
the military academy or have shown
special fitness during years Of army ser
vice and have passed a rigid examination
in strategy, tactics, logntics and mill
tary engineering at least-the ioun-
dalton stones Of military learning.
In order to make his o~ommendation
more emphatic Mr.. Roosevelt ssij: Il
would give a great deal IL every member
OF the cabinet and every Senator and
CONGRESSMAN could be made to learn
that article by heart and then be forced
to apply what it taught.
These are strong wrods, but somehow
they do not square with the attempt OF
President Theodore Roosev elt TO force
Leonard Wood. who is not a graduate Of
West Point, upon the country as a
Major General OF the army over the
heads Of old veterans OF the civil war,
When his words o: 1899 are compared
with his actions in this ma .te:, one can
scarcely believe that the Theodore
Roosevelt OF 1899 is the same man who
is giving the country such an illus
ration Of words not backed up by deeds.
In other words the Roosevelt OF 1863 Is
giving tile lie to the Roosevelt Of 1859.
