ABYSSINIAN CLAIRVOYANTS.
In King MeneIik's Land They Use
Remarkable Boys as DiscOy-
erers of Crime.

One Of the weird things in Abyssinia
is the lobasha, or crime discoyerer
These are boys not more than y years
Of age, who are put into a hypnotic
trance, and in this state discover the IN
known perpetrators of crime, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
NJ. Ilg. a Swiss engineer. who is en-
ployed by King Menelik, tells of almost
incredible cases of discoveries of Grim
inals of which he had personal knowl
edge. In a case of incendiarism in Ads
Abeba the lobasha was called TO the
spot and given a cupful Of milk into
which a green powder had been put, and
then was made to smoke pipe Of tobae-
co mixed with black powder. The boy
was then hypnotized After few min
utes he jumped up and began running
to Harrar For fully IS hours he ran.
and so swift was his pace that profess
sional runners were not able to keep
up with him. Near Harrar the lobasha
left the road, ran into field and touched
a Gala working there with his hand.
The man confessed.
Another case which Emperor Menelik
and NJ. Ilg investigated was that of
murder and robbery near Ads Abeba.
The lobasha was taken to the site of
the murder and put into his peculiar
psychic state. For awhile he ran around
the place, then back to Ads Abeba to
church, which he kissed. then to another
ah xnybfnb he also Kissed
Coming to some Whitewater breaks
the spell-the boy woke from his trance,
He was again hypnotized, and off he
went, round some huts, and at the door
of one of them lay down and fell asleep.
The owner of the hut, who was not in,
was on his return arrested. He stoutly
denied his guilt, but some Of the goods
belonging to his victim were found in
the hut. and he ultimately confessed
The murderer was brought before
Menelik, who asked him to detail his do
ings after the commission Of the crime.
These were found to correspond with the
movements Of the lobasha. He said that,
overcome with remorse, he ran to two
churches and kissed them.
Menelik wanted to have another proof
of the lobashas gifts He himself took
some jewelry belonging to the empress.
A lobasha was sent for. He first ran
about in the empress rooms, then into
Menellk's own rooms-went through
other rooms. and finally fell down on
Menelik's bed
NJ. Zig can give no explanation of this
wonderful gift, which seems to be con-
fined to a certain tribe, or perhaps racial
confederation, the members of which
are distributed over the whole of Abys-
sinia.
It is also worth remembering that
very similar method Of discovering
crimes was ascribed to the old Egyptians

GERMAN BEER STEMS.
Largest Imported Ones Hold Eight
Pints and Cost from Thirty
to Fifty Dollars.

Some beer stems are made in this
country. but they do not cut any figure
in the trade, says an exchange. Ger
mans. who are the principal buyers OF
stems. know an imported from domes-
tic article as a gardener knows his flow
ers. A man who has spent his youth in
Germany, especially If he knows any
thing of the student life, can tell by
merely glancing at a stein in what part
of the fatherland 1t was manufactured.
The largest stems imported hold about
eight pints of beer. In Germany they
are used in beer halls patronized by uni
versity students at Heidelberg and else
where. In this country the Germans buy
them for presents. The greatest COM
pliment one German can pay another
is to present him with one of these high
ly decorated stems, on which is implant-
ed a familiar picture in colored clay Of
his boyhood home. the home of his an
cestors. or some incident in German
history.
Anywhere from $50 to $50 may be
spent on a stein of this sort, and the
manufacturers in Germany give such
wide variety Of their native scenery that
very few stems are made to order.
The smallest stein holds exactly one
eighth of pint. These are seldom seen
in barrooms or rathskellers, even for
exhibition purposes. They are present
ed to children in families, just as the
English and Americans present china
and porcelain cups, with the name of the
baby printed thereon in ornate eolored
letters. These small stems, like the
large ones, generally record some incl
dent in German literature, and some
times cost almost as much as the big
ones. Two dollars for a small stein Of
this description is a very moderate price
to pay.
All imported stems are porcelain lined
The cheapest sort. such as are ordinarily
kept on bars in ice packed tubs during
the summer, cost about Is cents each.
There is a heavy duty on them.

The Burlington News, it seems. says
the BrattlebOro Reformer, suffered
needless pangs of humiliation some
time ago over the notoriety given Yer
mont as skunk paradise by the city
papers. Instead Of keeping people
away, the skunks are actually proving
an inducement to draw them in, and a
party of expert Wisconsin trappers are
even now laying plans to invade Yer
mont this spring for the sake of her
skunk spoils. The ''chief of police at
Thompson's Point, Lake Champlain,
has been appealed to for statistics and

EX-POLICEMAN
ASSASSINATED.
Lyle Gregory Murdered in Cold
Blood in the Streets of
Denver
PERPETRATORS ARE UNKNOWN.
He Was Accused Of Having Been One
OF the Men Who Assaulted Com.
mtteeman Wardjou,

Denver May l5.-Lyte Gregory an
ex-pollceman was assassinated at an
early hour this morning as he was re-
turning home from a social visit with
friends His body was riddled with
bullet and he died N his tracks. II
is believed that the assassin used a
repeating rifle and his aim was true,
for In all ten bullets penetrated the
murdered mans body Although
bloodhounds were given the tran short
~ after the murder occurred no posi-
tive trace OF the assassin has been
found
The murder occurred on West Third
avenue, near South Water street
section of the city Inhabited by the
working class. Gregory WAS alone ana
unarmed. Mrs John Coombs, neigh
boring woman who heard the shots,
also heard the cry, You numbering
blackguard" and thought the voice
was that OF her husband, whose return
home she was awaiting. Combs was
later found at bowling alley ana
placed under arrest 1t is said that
Combs had been nj the alley all even
ing and no evidence Of quit has yet
been traced to him, he is being held,
however.
Gregory recently had served the
Reno detective agency and was one
of the men accused by william Ward
Jon, the national committeeman Of the
United Minc Workers of America with
assaulting him on a Rio Grande Train
near Salida. Colo, recently WardJon
was badly beaten up and claimed that
four of the Reno agency men were his
assailants. Gregory had only Just re-
turned to the city, having been absent
several weeks. Letters found on his
person indicate that he was aware of
Wardjons accusation
The police now believe that two men
participat ted In the shooting Of Greg
DRY. II develops that only four shots
were fred but the riddled condition of
Gregory's body leads to the conviction
that shotgun loaded with heavy shot
was used II is also evident that re-
Volyer bullet penetrated the brain and
was the immediate cause Of death. De-
tectlyes working on the case have un-
earthed the fact that two strangers
haunted the vicinity of the shooting all
evening, one OF whom carried what ap-
parently was a gun or rifle. It has
also been learned that "A stranger en-
tered the saloon in which Gregory was
engaged at cards during the evening
and scanned the interior as II search
ing FOR someone. When his gaze
i,'ighted upon Gregory he seemed sat
isfied aud left the place
Gregory has served the mines as
Hociatlon both at Idaho Springs and
Cripple Greek since the strike OF metal
ferrous miners and smeltermon was
inaugurated in Colorado, and has also
been engaged against strikers In the
coal fields and other places. In addi-
tion TO this Gregory has been connect
