who detected the thief, admits that the

When Krimmel entered Bank street

retired from duty at midnight he heard
q low whistle 1t sounded so much

into the doorways, but saw no one.
While trying the door of % Bank
street, occupied by Abraham Welnroth
and other dealers in silk goods, Krim-
mel heard sound which convinced
him that some one was In the building.
Going into the middle of the narrow
street, he looked up and saw the head
and shoulders of man ut an open
third story window. His eyes looked
into those OF the officer, but the lids re-

Tsh,eouah an Interesting Town.

Tahlequah, which used to be noted
on the maps Of all old biographies
as the capital of the Indian territory,
is a town now of about $500 people,
and the majority of its population ARE
Cherokee Indians. The Cherokees are
of all shades of compilations. Some
coal black negroes boast of being
Cherokee Indians. but the prevailing
color is a dusky brown, little darker
than that of Japanese, or a yellow
somewhat lighter than a mulatto. AS

VOLCANO A WEATHER PROPHET

As a natural weather prophet, and
infallible at that, the volcano on the
island OF Vulcano, twelve miles north
Of Sicily in the Mediterranean, is be-
lived to hold the record. The follow
ing is from an account of dinner
given by the Geographical Council
club OF England in 1893: Capt
Wharton. the photographer to the
admiralty told how he had once an
chored in very deep water on the
east side of Vulcano, the southern
most of the Lipari isles, but that he
had kept up stream, with the intention
OF being off Immediately If the wind
changed to the east. He mentioned
this to an Englishman who lived on
the island and was in charge OF some
borax works. But said the man,
there is not the remotest chance OF
the wind going round to the east
without the full warning What
warning?' asked the other. Oh! was

THEY LAY BOUND BESIDE HUGE FIRE
Of the steamer Astrakhan, which ar
rived at Philadelphia recently. The
story of how Ellis escaped this fate
and thus disappointed the expectant
palates OF the savages was told by
himself
At the time Of his experience Ellis
was member Of the crew of the sail
ing ship Aigburth. Under the com
mand OF Captain John II. Reed and
with a crew Of seven men the ship left
New South Wales for Java, where It
was TO take a cargo Of sugar for Phil
adelpha On July 10 when off the
northeast coast of New Guinea the
ship met storm.
The sails were carried away FIRST,
and the mast soon followed The sec
ond day land was sighted, and ii was
determined to make trial at reaching
shore. When still some distance away
the boat was swamped, and the eight
men, already exhausted, had to swim
to shore.
One OF the men had brought rife
with him, and he managed TO keep this
dry, knowing ii to be their only hope
of getting food
Wet and weakened, the party made
their way inland for several hundred
yards, when they were attacked by II
band OF naked savages. With the aid
Of the rife. which kept their pursuers
at bay, Captain Reed and three of his
men succeeded In escaping, but Ellis
and the others were captured.
To the wonder of the men, the saw
ages took great trouble TO capture
them alive and seemed to express glee
rather than hatred in their glances.
Btill more surprised were they when
they were placed In warm, dry hut
and given plenty OF vegetable food
No meat was given them, and this

Of the animals In that section OF the
country. 1t was not until the end Of
this time that they began to realize the
fate in store for them.
. Good living and little work had their
usual effect, and they began TO fatten,
II was when they noticed that this In.
crease OF flesh was appreciated by
their captors that they realized that,
having been long without animal food
or tesh of any kind, the savages In
tended TO have gala feast, with them
as the principal dish.
In the meantime the other sailors
had also been captured, but by another
and more friendly tribe. This tribe had
many dealings with traders. When
they learned that the rest OF the party
had been captured by the cannibals
they offered 10 rescue them, as it gave
them chance TO wreak vengeance OIL
a tribe with which they had severa
scores TO settle.
When they reached the enemy's coun
try they attacked the cannibals on the
day that had been set for the feast
The captors were taken by surprise and
soon gave way, running IN all direc

VIRGINIA BEAR KILLED.

He Had Given Hunters the Slip for
 More Than Twenty Years.
 The largest bear ever seen or killed In the Alleghanies within the recollec- tion of veteran hunters was bagged on Sunday morning by Ernest Barkley, a young Nimrod of 20 years and cripple having but one hand.
 The killing of this monster occurred in what is. known as the Mulienax Woods, some seven miles west of Crab bottom, on the eastern slope of the All eghanies, and 50 long had this partf- cular bruin been the quest of the noun taineer, that he had acquired per sonality, and, while he was a coveted prize, the conclusion had been reached } that he possessed charmed life, and this opinion had been expressed around many campfire during the last quarter of a century.
 The weight of the bear, after the en- trails were removed, was 789 pounds, Across the ball of his foot he measured { eight inches and between the ears nine \ inches. The pelt, when spread upon the < ground, was exactly nine feet in length, and there was steak of fat along the entire back that the men declared to 4 be four inches thick.
 4 The presence of a bear of any sort is something unusual even in the noun < tains, but here and there may be found E one which bids defiance, and in his cir z cumscribed bounds and narrowed limf- 4 tations he becomes more of a nuisance than a terror. He preys upon the sheep faif and when the time comes for the annu- al roundup it is found that sheep and lambs to the value of several hundred dollars have been killed.
 It was his fondness for muttons, and his bold inroads from year to year, which engendered the feud between this big ,bruin and the natives, and caused them to hunt him down. It is estimated that he had eaten this sea- son some forty sheep, and on his last raid was traced to a dense tlicket in the woods referred to. This thicket was surrounded by half dozen or more men, of whom MT. Barkley was one. A small but well trained dog was sent in. and in due time brought the bear out liclose to MT. Barkley, who was armed sonly with cheap gun--a single barrel breechloading shotgun. In this he had placed a shell filled with large shot and (which he promptly lodged in the body the brute. Enraged, 1t made at the young hunter, who at once instituted a sgame of 'rosebush'' about a big oak ltree, getting in another shell as rapidly slas his hurried movement and crippled < hand would admit.
 MT. Barkley does not know how often : he encircled the tree but he called 8manfully to his fellows as he ran, and thanks to the very short range, he was enabled to tear such hole in his ad- versary with "a second load that only two others had to be added as fin { iahing touches Monterey correspon- dence Richmond Times-D Dispatch.

 Tendency More Consistent.
 New York, Dec. 16.-Tl1e nervous tre- rnors which have afflicted the stock market all through the week were quieted to-day and the advancing ten- dency, which has been in evidence prac- tically ever since the downward course was arrested on Tuesday, was more consistent and uninterrupted than at any previous time on the recovery. The constant setbacks and hesitations which have developed at some time every day were lacking and the days gains were held with comparative firm ness. Notwithstanding the restoration of vigor of the markets resisting pow CT there was no corresponding revival of animation, the day's dealings show ing little increase over those of yester- day. The market was entirely free from any pressure Of liquidation, so that the small buying was effective in lifting prices and the supply of stocks was so scanty as to enable holders to advance the asking price with effect on the selling price. The United States l N'NGCl SlOCtAG wv llt COIllltluGu3 3ldFSG%QS- mand and were helped by the report of the placing of a large order for. steel rails for Pennsylvania. The increase in the Louisville and Nashville dividend had a sympathetic effect amongst it's affiliated properties and the whole southern group. Reports of a definite adjustment of the Gould -Pennsylya troubles met with some disclaimers, but the impression was allowed that the seriousness of the dispute had been .ex- aggerated. The November foreign trade report disclosed a decline in the excess of value of exports over $20, 000, GOO. But 1t was observed that the imports in No | vember of last year with which the comparison is made were the smallest of any month for more than two years | past while for the month just past the imports are greater with one exception than for any preceding month. The l outgoing gold movement was practical l ly ignored as money was offered in abundance and at lower interest rates, l The continued inflow of currency from 1 the interior promises to largely offset the weeks drain of gold exports and on other accounts. Late in the day the perception of freedom from pressure on the market led to a lively bidding up Iof prices throughout, and the closing was very strong at the top level. Gains of to. 3 points are frequent amongst the leading stocks.
 Bonds were strong, Total sales par value, $4,195,00O.
