But now comes a nexercise system
which is claimed to have almost an occult

the most erratic nerves. and to promote
great power of mental concentration in

oNE-ARMED BURGLAR.

More than hundred of the most dar-
ing and successful burglaries committed
in Vienna within the last year were the
work of a woman who worked single
handed in two senses-in that she had
TO confederate and but one arp.
She IS Francisca Machalek. who for
months caused a vertitable reign Of ter
ror in the residential sections of the
Austrian capital, and when she vas I'm
ally captured thirty mine charges Of bur
giary were made against her.
In her lodging In Kopttasse there was
found regular store Of jewels clothing,
household utensils and objects Of art.

Machalek is a Moravian, and thirty
six years old. She was neglected in child
hood and lived in want begging for
living until she turned thief. She was
sent to prison when but twelve years
old. and she has spent at least a quar-
ter OF her days behind the bars since
then. Her health being weak. her arm
gone through disease. her mind and body
untutored. she concluded that she could
not make an honest living and turned TO
theft as last resort. says the New York
World
She went to Vienna In 1891. and tried 10
live honestly. but soon slipped back into
the old life was expelled hom the city
and returned in 1900.
Then she became a burglar, and at
once displayed astonishing boldness and
skill in spite Of her crippled condition.
The methods she pursued in the many
undertakings which followed varied re
markably. Her most common course was
&c ind out from the janitor Of house,
inquiries. what tenements were left empty

often pretended 70 have been sent to

message TO deliver.
Then she used TO open the door OF the
tenement with false key in broad day

skill. In spite Of her one arm she dis
played extraordinary aptitude in the man
ufacture Of skeleton keys. She would hold
a key which had TO De fled down with her
foot or in her teeth. while she used the
file with her one hand.
Her teeth, by the way. played a great
role in all her burgiaries. for II seems
certain that she employed them some
how or other IN breaking open chests
and drawers. and also IN packing up and
carrying away stolen property. Tsis en-

investigator cannot fail to discover
that the idea Is absurd in the extreme.
The size Of the two territories combin-
ed makes their government impractic-
able as one state. The distance from
one side to the other Is nearly as great
as that from New York to Chicago,
and the area embraced within them ex-
ceeds that of Maine, Massachusetts.
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, New York, Penn
s~ylvania, Ohio. West Virginia and
Maryland. Their capitals are now 500
miles apart. The Jurisprudence Is en-
tirely different from that of Arizona,
the legal practice of the former being
under the common law, while the lat
ter has a code Of its own. Arizona
would objct to sharing the debt of
New Mexico and the adjustment there
of could not possibly be arranged sat
isfactory to both commonwealth.
Each has it's W public buildings, also
racial problems peculiarly its own.
The physical formation Of the country
s such as to make a single government
unwieldly and expensive to almost a
prohibitive degree. Forty years ago
the congress Of the United States seq
regated what Is now Arizona from
New Mexico and gave 1t a separate
government. particularly because of
the great area covered and the dis
lance between populated sections. The
area of the two territories Is but 25,-
coo square miles less than that of the
state of Texas, which, under the agree
ment of it's annexation. is entitled to
be made into five states. Admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as one state
would be one of the most ~inexcusable
legislative plumbers ever perpetrated
upon the country. The people of Ari,
IONA with almost entire unanimity
would prefer to remain a territory in
definitely than to be Joined in the mar
ner proposed, although it is stated
that the New Mexicans are not indif
ferent to the proposition, which nc
doubt would be greatly to their ad'
vantage.
/ hope the Republican will look into
this subject further and correct what
is clearly a Misrepresentation Of con
ditions. Yours very truly,

Fully half of the indisposed, weakly

They seem to forget one important
fact, that the nerves regulate the
blood supply through the body" 1t is
now an accepted truth that upon the
action of the nerves depends health

headache, prostration, i~rritability, and
lassitude; these in due course cause
more serious ills. Paine's Celery Com

bestow a full and lasting measure OF
health to men and women who suffer
from nerve and blood troubles. This
wonderful agent feeds, nourishes, and
