Crimillal = 90 Ion Society.

The academy OF cr.ln-, of which Dick
ems inimitable F@giu was the head pro-
fessor, has lost its prestige since details
of a similar institution il Italy have
come to light This orr anization, called
the "Malsvita," was situated at Foegia
and aimed at committing all sorts of
crime, from highway ,oDbery to kidnap-
ping. There were two schools, one to
teach the use Of the knife and the other
for pickpockets A few francs we're
charged for admission, and the pupils
graduated according to the proficiency
they attained. If any of the members
were arrested the other members volun-
teered to give perjured testimony in his
behalf, while a few more took charge Of
the witnesses for the prosecution, whom
they scared by threats into refusing to
testify.

STYLE vs.. TELEGRAPH.
Fashionable Toilet of African Bellies
Consists of Wire Worn in
Place of Girdle.

Fashions In women's dress have
played havoc with the plans of a tele-
graph company, in east Africa, and
with It's lines as well, says one of the
commissioners in his report. The
dusky bellies have found that nothing
more enhances their charms than a
few yards of telegraph wire wound
about their waists as a girdle. In spite
of the slight inconvenience of sleeping
in 1t, 1t has become almost as neces-
sary to them as a necklace or a boa
to an English girl. So serious were
the depredations made on the jungle
telegraph lines by these seekers after
fashionable toilets that the company
had at last to hold the chiefs of the
various tribes responsible. Then the
young women made change in style.

ExCELLS IN BOOKS.
GERMAN EXHIBIT AT WORLDS
FAIRmEMAHKABLY cHEDITABLE.
Fseir Exhfbit of Books at 80. Louis
Is slost Interesting Ever seen
I'm America

The exhibit Of books at the St Louis
fair is one Of the most interesting ever
shown in America. OF the foreign ma
tons participating, Germany easily
takes the lead, followed by Great Brit
ain and France as close seconds. Ma
tional characteristics come out strongly.
The English, under the influence Of the
Morris art revival, show the finest book
bindings; the French have an exhibition
samples OF sumptuous editions de
luxe" The German exhibit is more
painstaking. 1t shows samples from
all grades Of publishers in art, literary
and music production. The Germans In
these exhibits still use wood engraving
for multicolored work while waiting for
Photographic processes to develop them
selves further. They make haste slowly.
The Gothic text of German books is the
cause Of much Of the prevalent German
short-sightedness. Publishers Of scien-
tific books often use the Roman text.
Quite as often nowadays, In their en-
deav to compromise, they work out beau
tiful black-letter texts which combine
the Gothic art aspect and the Roman
clearness-such texts as Morris would
have appreciated. German publishers
profit greatly by their instinct of organ
ization, shown in such as the Leipsic
Bookcraft association, which maintains
museum of printing, conducts schools
for apprentices and in other ways exert
conservative influence upon the art
at its capital.

A German authority estimates the for
eign investments Of Belgium, a country
having 5000 $50 inhabitants and about
one-quaIter rs large an area as Ohio,
at no less than 1880, 100000. In pro-
portion to the numerical strength OF the
Belgians and their natural resources
these figures make the $4,000, DOC, 900, or
thereabouts, which represents French
capital look small, and they compare
well with the largest current estimates
Of Great Britain's investments beyond
the narrow limits OF the British isles.
Authorities differ widely concerning the
amount Of British money put into other
countries, some being as low as IS ,000,-
000. 900, not counting British possessions.
like India, and British colonies. To in
clude those favorite fields for British en-
terprise might double the figures given.
But 1t Is not many years since the Lon
don stock exchange calculated the prob
able total OF the foreign investments OF
the British people at more than 81, 00O,-
100000. 1t does not seem possible that
any very great decrease can have taken
place since 1896. Germany is believed to
have about half as much money invested
abroad as France or twice as much as
Belgium. but German wealth and Ger
man enterprise are alike fast gaining
ground, ard these proportions will soon
be radically changed Russia is the great
debtor nation of Europe, and in that
country billions of dollars of French
Belgium and German money has found
employment, at greater or less risk. and
with widely varying returns.

Kopak.

Kopak is a new product of the Philip
pine islands and those adjacent, which
is attracting much attention. 1t is a
sort of yellow wadding which makes
fine mattresses, life preservers, etc. Nat
urally it is the covering of the seeds Of
certain trees. Ten and half ounces
will support a man in the water, and
one small mattress will support several
men. 1t is expected that all ship mat
fresses will be made of kopak.

YBGGMEN APPEAR
in COUNTRY TOWNS
The Stores in Scarcely Settled
Districts Begin to Suffer.
Two Robberies I'm This District Re-
ported 10 the Police this
Morning.
THIEVES ARE SLICK CROOKS

The police believe that "yeggmen'
have again struck this section of the
country, and it will consequently go
hard with tramps hereafter.
"Yeggmen" are skilled burglars
or crooks of other varieties. who
travel about as tramps, and rob prin-
cipally country towns and crack the
safes in country banks. They usual
ly do most Of their work in winter,
when people keep closer in doors
! rhan at other times.
This morning two robberies in this
section last night were reported to
the police,
The general merchandise store OF
Miller. at lola, on the N, c. & St
L. road, was entered and a. lot OF
goods taken. Knives, tobacco, shirts
pencils and other small articles were
missed, and no clue was left.
A robbery Of the I. C. depot at
Hickory Grove. on the Fulton dis
trict of the I. c., few miles below
Paducah, was also reported. The
burglars stole many tickets, stamps,
pencils and some money, the exact
amount not being learned. No clue
was left in this case.
There is not much prospect of
M he Ao
Paducah. The police force in Padu-
cab has made itself very formidable
TO the light-fngered gentry In recent
years. as few OF them can come here
and steal and dispose of stolen goods
in any quantity without getting
caught. Thieves who are reputed to
be thoroughly organized all over
the country, are not long In getting
next to those towns where they are
likely to strike a snag, so they give
Paducah a wide berth.
The police say that the residents
of all the smaller towns should keep
out all persons resembling tramps,
and keep a close watch for "yegg-
men" for this is their season, and
they have been quite active in this
district for several days, according
to reports. One reason ''yeggmen"
usually manage to get in a good deal
Of work in this vicinity is because
there are three rivers and equally as
many railroads by which they can es-
cape or move rapidly from one locali-
ty to another. This class of crimi-
mails is also said to be responsible for
the theft of many of the horses that
disappear. Some of them are stolen
and sold in other regions, while 9TH
ers are used until the thieves have
escaped, and then turned loose.
