WALKING ON HIS HEAD.

Strange Performance of q Man on
 the Streets of Berlin.
 Crowds of people who thronged the busy crossing where the Friedrich strasse and Unter den Linden intersect in Berlin were treated recently to- a sensation says the London Telegraph. A young, slenderIy built fellow was noticed to take off his hat, look around in all directions and then suddenly to stand on his head in the middle of the street, not using his hands to balance himself Having poised in this posi- ton for a few moments he began to. hop on his head, toethe intense aston lshment of the rapidly gathering crowd. He continued hopping and but for the extraordinary muscular force and train ing he displayed he would have been voted a madman. A policeman soon appeared and politely asked the gentle man to reverse his position, for, al though no law existed forbidding this method of progress through the streets, it was calculated to interfere with traf fic.
 The gentleman reversed and told the "schutzmann'' that his name was Bap- list, that he was engaged at the Win ter Garten Variety theater to walk on his head and that several people re fused to believe his performance a genuine one, thinking rather that he was assisted by some wire mechanism on the stage. Baptist therefore de- termfned to walk from the corner Of Unter den Linden to the Winter Gar ten-on his head, of course-and would have carried out his plan had not the guardian of the law zinteryened. He was invited to come to the police sta. ton, but was liberated, the officer in charge warning him not to repeat his singular experiment.
 Professor Hoffa, well known physi- clan, has examined Baptist. He re ports that the man has abnormally de- veloped muscles in his shoulders and neck and that this enables him to en- dure the enormous strain.

HOW WOMEN ARE ROBBED.

Carelessness on Their Own Part, Is
 Frequent Cause of Losses.
 Half the- -thefts that women charge to pickpockets," said the reformed burglar, ''are not thefts at all, but sim ply cases of loss from their own care lessness. Don't tell them that I said sO though, for I've had enough blame to bear in my day; but that's the truth. If a woman goes home and makes a huIlabaloo about being robbed she gets more sympathy, but let her say she lost her money and she has to shoulder the whole responsibility and be found fault with into the bargain
 But what becomes of the pocket books and purses? They are not going off of themselves.''
 Their owners lose them without knowing it. They lay them down or drop them, and they are picked up by somebody who doesh't run around look ing for the person they belong to. Here is a case in point. A woman seated herself. before a bargain counter piled with remnants of silk. After turning over a few pieces she felt something fall into her lap, and picked up a fat leather pocketbook.
 AAC4AVB SGAS b4CLC q PuLSC' It looks as if it had d lot of money in it, and she handed it to the clerk, who laid it on a shelf back of him and said he would send it to the lost and found department.
 "When the woman had found the goods she wanted and went to take her pocketbook out of her reticule, it wasn't there, and you ought to have heard her squeal. She declared she had it when she sat down to the coun- ter. But it was gone, sure enough.
 "A store detective was sent for, and he asked a few questions. He was a friend of mine, and he told me the story. Then he asked to see the purse she had found, and it turned out to be her own. She had laid it down the first thing, and when it fell into her lap she was so surprised she didn't recognize it.
 And I really think that she hated to admit that she hadn't been robbed. '

 The Era club, an organization of 800 of the most prominent women in New Orleans at a recent meeting discussed the servant problem, which is said to be worse in New Orleans than in any other city in the country, says the Phil adelphia Record. One woman an nounced that the only way in which she had been able to keep her servants in a good humor was by supplying them with theater tickets once each week. The question was talked oyer, and as a result, servants in a large number of families will receive two tickets week during good behavior to one of the playhouses of the city. A heated discussion took place on the ethics of one woman persuading the servants of a friend to leave.

TUCSON DEVILS ARE AT WORK.
Anonymous Letters Sent to Respectable
 Ladies.

For some time past some human prcvcrt sex unknown has been sending anonvmou, communications to people in thi, city. sometimes using the mail but more frequently dropping the miSSives in the yard. on the porch or showing under q door.
 The persons selected for this specie, of torture, if they are foolish enough to be tortured. are wives who have been away during the summer. al- though not infrcqucntly wives are also malin%ed in communications ad- dressed to their husbands.
 There is no direct evidence to ab- >olutclv convict anyone of thi, in famous conduct, but there are two or three under suspicion, one of them d woman.
 Here is a sample of the kind of stuff these human devil, pcrpctratc:
 As your dear husband i, out of town | will tell you q few things. How he acted thi, summer. The StenOgrapher he took to q hotel and had trouble with and stayed all night with. Don't let him fool you. He cares nothing for you. Money k his scheme. Your associates now will give you no standing a, their rcputa- tion iS bad in town. "A Friend" "
 This letter va, addressed to an c,- timable lady who ha, but recently returned to the city after an absence of q few months. She found if showed under the front door of her house. Thi, communication. how ever, is not the only one. The Citi- zen has heard of several miSsives of the kind.

Greene Consolidated.

The declining tendency of late in evidence in Greene Consolidated Cop per ha, given rise to more or less bearish infercnCc-. it being reasoned iu some quarters that the inside in tere>ts were hquidating. in order to more steadily support Greene COn-oli dated stock. A- d matter of fact. however. there ha, been no great amount of selling. nor are there any developments in the property which should make for pr>~imi>m. The re- port that the Greene Consolidated Copper company is averaging only about ; per cent. in the lower levelS of the mines i~ said to have no cXi-- tenCc in fact. these ores varying very little from the workings above. It i> stated that from April to July the rock showed an average of 1.3 copper. During July there were mined and treated T .OOO tons of ore. showing d total output of 4.ioo.Oo1 pounds. or - per cent. copper. and in addition 49GJO ounces of silver and 316 ounces of gold. The balance of the produc tiun of J.j0n.Wj pounds was sent to Fl Pa-o in the form of concentrates. It i, pointed out that the Greene Consolidated Copper company does not. like other mining companies, in cludc in their average huXing ores. which contain d large excess of iron and but very little copper. If such ores were included. the average for July would show copper contents of nearly per cent.
 There is absolutely no truth in the report that Mir. Greene will resign the presidency of the company. It certainly would seem strange if, after wort>ing some of the strongest financial interests in Wall street. he should withdraw because of outside opposition. Cananea Herald.

The Commuui- cation further states that such q building i, contemplated at thi. port. That federal building i, needed here goes without dispute. since there are about thirteen federal of flee holder, located here in the various departments. including the chief officer, in the custom service. the immigration officers and the post office officials. In the customs and immigration service this port is sur passed by Fl Pa,o on the Mexican border.
