ing over Uncle Sans possessions in
the East. Wherever he Is Willard 8.
Allen, OF Boston, carries with him the
consciousness Of having stolen $50, 900
ana the knowledge, which might ill
some men with dread but which does
not seem to worry him, that the police
OF many cities want him. 1t is esti-
mated that Allen has with him $50. 900
In ready money.
Allen Is no ordinary criminal He is
college bred and most Of his life has
oeen spent in legal atmosphere. For
over 70 years he was clerk of the East
Boston District Court and the methods
OF law breakers are familiar to him.
He has witnessed the operations of all
classes Of criminals from the very
stupid to the crafty and competent. He
often expressed himself as holding in
contempt the mental qualities of the
average thief. Perhaps while he was
speaking his mind was turning In the
direction of theft. The ease with which
ne deceived the auditors of his ac-
counts as treasurer of the Methodist
Preachers Aid Society, shows how
thorough was his equipment for the
criminal career OF course his high
standing in the Methodist Church and
IN official circles placed him beyond
the pale Of suspicion. But figures have
way OF telling the cold, brutal truth.
ana that Allen succeeded so long In
his accounts proves him
to have been man of no ordinary
cunning With the exception of one
reliable clue the only things known
ABOUT his flights are the things he
chose to make known, and those
amount to absolutely nothing from the
standpoint of the police, {
The first intimation given the wor,0

from himself. This startling piece ~ 1

APPROACHING COMPLETION.
Trestle Work Approaches to New Rail
road Bridge Nearly Finished.

A travelling crane, consisting Of heavy
timber bolted together, has been construct
ed at the Washington end Of the new rail-
way bridge for the purpose of handling the
heavy steel beams used in the construction
of the new bridge. The crane, which
stands nearly sixty feet high and about
thirty feet wide, Is mounted on wheels so
that the beams can be carried and placed
exactly where they are wanted without
much labor. The crane travels on the false
work built below the bed of the new bridge.
The big structure towers high in the air and
can be seen from all the lower sections of
the city. Hardly a day passes without the
delivery of material for the bridge on the
sidings, and by the time the iron work of
the bridge is started it can be pushed ahead
without interruption.
The two new trestle work approaches to
the bridge, one of which runs straight along
the old driveway and the other makes a
curve to connect with the present tracks
over the old bridge, are rapidly approach
ing completion, and will be ready for the
rails In ten days or two weeks. The new
double track. which 1t is proposed to use
while the new bridge is building is now
being ballasted with cinders and can be
put In readiness for use in a few days.
There has been an increase in the number
of men employed on the bridge work within
the past few days.

complished after many weary months of

GETTING IN THE WALNUTS.
IAN Industry That Closes California
Country Schools.

FROM the Review OF Reviews.
The first English walnut orchard in Cali
.fornia was planted with seed from the Los
angeles Mission gardens. where the padres
had started few trees with nuts brought
with them from Spain. The undertaking
was a success from the first. and the acre
age of walnuts has steadily increased
lsIowly at first, but now with rapid strides.
The walnut trees early age of bearing, its
long life and the steady demand for its
,product tend to make the enterprise de-
.servedly popular. Already it is superseding
the orange in favor among fruit growers.
The walnut tree begins to bear when 6 or
IN years old, and nothing is known def
lnitely of It's age limit of bearing. Fabulous
tetortes are told of trees in Spain one or two
centuries old, bearing enormous crops. The

country in an inappreciable quantity.
French still wines have lost ground. but
sparkling wines have to some extent COM

point to be noted about champagne is the
growing taste in this country for dry
wines, which find a ready sale.
