900, and when the latter sum was paid
the money was divided among the
three, young Cudahy getting $4,000 as
his share The kidnapped boy denies
this story absolutely.
Grove is remarkable criminal.
Murder seems to be the only crime
that has never been laid against him
and that apparently is not his fault.
At the very inception of his career, so
far as 1t is known publicly, he shed
human blood How many persons he
has shot or stabbed no one but himself
can tell, for he worked with only him
self for counselor. Like the notorious
Black Bart OF the Sierras, and the
more ancient prototype, Jack Shep-
pard, Pat Grove seldom had a con-
federate. He wanted all the spoils,
and trusted no pal.
Grove went TO the publics chools In
Chicago and acquired an education
that would have enabled him TO make
a good honest living. He was 20 years
old when. after a series OF petty thefts,

Omaha, Neb. The senior Cudahy paid
$4,000 at the time for the release of
his son, and Grove, after the division
of the money with his confederate in
crime, disappeared. Although In the
aggregate 100000 was offered for his
capture, and Notwithstanding that at
intervals Grove would show himself In
some large center Of population, the
police were utterly unable to capture
him until he was taken at Butte.
Immediately after his arrest Grove
told highly sensational story relative
to the kidnapping. He says he was a
successful butcher in South Omaha
when Edward A. Cudahy built pack
ing house there and Grove him out of
business. He then entered Cudahy's
employ and became acquainted with
the family. 1t was young Cudahy hlm-
self, Grove asserts, who suggested the
kidnapping in order that they might
'work the old man" for some money.
Grove Endorsed the proposition and
selected another man as an aid Young
Cudahy, he claims, was never a pris-
oner and proposed that the father

desperate character In the spring OF
1880, In Chicago. He seized a woman
and proceeded to tear her diamonds
from her. She fought desperately and
screamed. Grove drew revolver and
shot her in the arm. Two policemen,
attracted by the shots and cries, ran
up and one of them was wounded; the
other overpowered the young thug. For
this crime Grove was sentenced to
eight years in the Joliet penitentiary.
After serving two years, however, he
was pardoned.
His next crime of note was the
snatching Of tray of diamonds from
the window of a jewelry store In Den
yer. He was arrested, but a saloon
keeper gave bail for him In $500, and
Grove disappeared.
Not long after that, in the latter
part Of 1893, he was suspected of the
robbery Of the safe OF the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad In Dennison,
Iowa. He admitted the robbery. but
William A. Pinkerton, who visited him
in his cell, said that Grove confessed
merely to escape being sent to Denver
for trial on the jewe!ry robbery charge
There was ample evidence against him
in the Denver case, but not enough to
convict on the railroad robbery charge
It was decided to send him to Denver
but he saved the officers the bother
oy escaping.
In 1894 several daring train robber
les were committed by him in the vi
cinity of st. Joseph Mo-, but for a
long time he was not suspected, 80
carefully did he work.
After the Cudahy kidnapping Grove
says that he Travelled around the world
and fought with the Beers against
England in South Africa

1T is SUPeRFLUOUs NOISE.
A Warranted British Criticism of Gu

a warranted British Criticism of Our
Tendency to "Whoop."
National idiosyncrasies are reflected
not only in serious pursuits, but in ma
tional games, says the PHILADELPHIA
Ledger. Baseball is not likely to be-
come an international sport in which
there Is any real rivalry, unless the
nations become endowed with Ameri-
can zest in the rapid game. The Lon
don Outlook regrets that Britons and
Americans cannot play baseball on
something like equal terms and comes
to the conclusion that the American
conception of sport rs hopelessly an
tagonistic to the British at every point.
Englishmen take their pleasures rather
tardy, but the Outlook is not alto
gether astray when 1t arraigns the
American ball game as Extensively
noisy. 1t generously admits that base
ball Is "a really fine game" In essence,
but the f1elders are allowed ito yell at
the man with the club in order to rat
tie him." the spectators are permitted
to make "a diabOlical din" for the same
reason; the umpires decisions, instead
of being submitted TO without a muir
muir, as Englishmen receive a deliver
ance from the lord high chancellor.
are appealed from "by a circle Of YELL
ing, gesticulating forms clad like aero
bats"
1t must be confessed that there is
much force in the arraignment. Noise
has become an inseparable incident OF
our national game and it may as we'll
be confessed that public interest in
the sport would lapse at once If FRO
ceedings were conducted in a perfect
ly tranquil, self-composed and ladylike
manner.
Seriously speaking, the outcry of
our British contemporary against mere
noise as a public grievance deserves
some attention. Noise is easily mis-
interpreted as a sign of vigorous en-
terprise in all lines of human activity.
There is a hustle of trade which no
one could suppress. The loudest shout
er is not by any means the most ac-
complished and effective orator. The
DeSL WOTk may DE zone WITHOUT great
clamor and uproar. Noise is common
ly associated with the faker, who COW
ers the pinchbeck quality of his wares
by stridently proclaiming their virtues.
Much of the noise of the city street is
entirely unnecessary and could be sup
pressed without injury to any material
interest.
A society for the prevention of din
would find a fertile field for its benefi-
cent offices. Some years ago the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals in Munich issued an order
forbidding the superfluous cracking Of
whips, In order to save the nerves Of
horses. Humanity deserves similar
consideration. Happily, the tendency
of civilization Is toward the suppress
sion of superfuous noise. In the bust
est quarters of some cities wooden
pavements have been laid to quiet to
some extent the legitimate noise of
traffic. The still alarm" is far more
effective agency for the extinction of
fire than the din of many bells.

Great Lake Cargoes.

The first cargo of the new steam.
ship e. II. Gary, the record freighter
of the lakes, exceeds the greatest load
ever before carried on these island
seas by almost as many tons as any
lake vessel had ever fioated twenty
five years ago, says the Cleveland
Leader. 1t was in 1881 that the
Onoko, a steamer built and owned in
Cleveland, brought down the first load
which reached the 3,OOO-ton limit.
Now the record is placed at over 49,
40 tons.
In twenty-four years the increase in
the largest lake cargo has been nearly
400 per cent. Taking due account of
the time required to handle freight at
docks and the average speed of heavy
vessels between terminals, it Is safe
to say that one steamer like the Il. II
Gary is equal to six such as the Onoko.
and the latter was a famous and very
profitable boat for many years. The
rate of progress indicated by such
facts is little less than revolution In
the business of the lakes. 1t is a de
velopment rare even in this age and
country.
American capacity for handling i'm.
mense traffic is nowhere more strik
ingly illustrated than it has been in
the traffic which has been built IN
largely by Cleveland men and Cleve
land money on the most remarkable
chain Of inland waterways in The
world.

 In I1e9 the crew Of the Nancy brig were apparently honest traders but lid some piracy now and then on the hde. One day they found 1t necessary Q go into Kingston for supplies Be lore doing so they naturally removed III traces Of their buccaneerlng trade. Among other things they threw over board this tin canister stuffed with pa pers taken from ships they had sunk, with comments written on the margin by the pirate captain.
 Later in the day a British frigate was becalmed near the spot, and the sailors spent their leisure catching sharks. Presently they hauled up a big fellow, cut him open and found the tin case with the papers inside. These were taken to the captain, who as soon as breeze sprung up sailed Into Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig there and had the crew tried, convicted and hanged in chains at Fort Royal
