week at the Jacques as a special fea, ture of the vaudeville show. It will be recalled that MT Hammerstein ac- cidentally overheard Miss Crane sing ing ill Smiths cafe at Coney Island one day last summer and WAS so i'm pressed with the singular tones of her voice that he secured her for an at traction at his Victoria theater and kept her there all summer. It is his intention, after Miss Crane shall have played the leading vaudeville houses of this country, to send her to Italy and have her educated for grand op- era. Her voice Is said to be of pure baritone quality and of a double reg ister so that she alternates at will to soprano, giving it in a way something of freakish nature. "The girl from Coney 1sland' has. been proving a great drawing card in the vaudeville houses, and she ought to prove a sim liar popular attraction at the Jacques. A second capital attraction is offered in Greene and Weener who appear in their novel creation, Babes in the Jungle" This pair are making a sen sation at Polls Worcester house this week and the act is of the kind to make a similar sensation here. Louise Henry and her company presenting Miss HenTy's original conception of "that Sal Skinner girl" Carter and Walters in a comedy sketch, Josef Blank in marvellous juggling, the Roo ney Sisters in limitations of their father, and the electrograph with pie lures of the thieving dog Rallies, will complete the bill Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; matinees 10 and zv cents, ladies 10.

ADAMS EXPRESS THIEF CAUGHT
George Cunlifre Held at Bridgeport
 and SSO,OOO Recovered.

| George Cunlifre Held at Bridgeport l and SSO,OOO Recovered.
 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Oct. 20.-Ed- ward George Cunliffe, the Adams ex- | press employee who disappeared from Pittsburg with S101,000 in cash, has | been arrested here. He made confes- sion and expressed his willingness to return at once to Pittsburg.
 He declared that the money which 1 he had taken was intact and that 1t could be restored, but he declined to tell until his return to Plttsburg where 1t is hidden. In his pocket vas found $290 in cash. ..... 1 Nearly $S0,000 of the plunder stolen by Edward George Cunliffe from the Adams Express company in Pittsburg was recovered at the home of Gun llffe's brother-in-law,' Joseph W. Board- man, in Bristol The money was in a suit case sent from Bridgeport to Boardman and had not been opened up to the time that Boardmans house was visited. Boardman knew nothing of the money being in his house.
 Detectives under the direction Daniel c. Thornhill, superintendent of the Pinkerton agency of New York, traced Cunliffe here, and upon their arrival early in the morning the aid of the local policemen and detectives was enlisted.
 All the hotels were watched careful ly, but Cunliffe was not arrested until late in the forenoon, when he was seen by Superintendent Thornhill walking down Middle street.
 'Yes, I'm Cunllffe," he said in reply to the officers questions. q guess the jig is up."
 The prisoner then promised to make no attempt to escape and accompanied the policeman and detective to the of flee of Superintendent of Police Blr- mingham, where he made a statement about the robbery. In the presence of Superintendent Birmingham, Detective Thornhill, Henry Curtis, the local agent of the Adams Express company, and Captain Arnold of the Bridgeport de- tective force Cunliffe admitted that he had taken the money.
 Five minutes after I took the money I was sorry, " said the prisoner. 'but 1t was too late then to do anything. What can you expect from a man getting a salary of only s6j a month and han ding thousands of dollars a dayl I was tempted. and fell I have han dled larger sums. remember once when had s2JO.O00 in cash. was tempted then. but I thought 1t over, and decided to he honest.

GOAT MEAT SOLD AS LAMB.
Many Western Dealers Handle It.
 What the Article Looks Like.

What the Article Looks Like Goat, the hollow-horned four-stonl- | ached animal, raised for it's milk, flesh and skin primarily, is, according to | the department of agriculture. furnish ing considerable part of the "lamb" l and mutton" handled by the pack ing houses and retail dealers all over ! the country. Dealers in goats at the stockyards say this is true in Kansas 1 City as well as elsewhere
 Several times of late I have gone into butcher shops with the purpose of buying mutton for my morning meal and have found nothing in the shop except goat, represented to me to be mutton" said a goat dealer at the stockyards this morning. ~ "The average man Is fooled. It is easy enough, though, to distinguish the difference between sheep and goat meat if one will only take time and trouble. Herein the difference lies; in the sheep the front leg from the hoof to the knee is about the same length as from the knee to the shoulder. With the goat the distance from the hoof to the knee is only about half as great as from the knee to the shoulder. Also the goat is much more razor backed than the sheep. The backbone, adr spinal column is not so iexibles Els that of the sheep and 1t cannot be-eo easily broken. Mutton is much more plentiful but the cost is greater. <.
 Even if the people are being de- ceived and are eating goat it matters not so much if the animal is young for kid meat Is more delectable than lamb. 1 am of the opinion that both the packer and the butcher are at fault. Often the green butcher thinks that he is buying the most innocent of animals, the lamb, when he has bought the goat; and again the retail dealer knows that he has bought goat and he sells it to the consumer for nut ton. "eulhy hvl tsviS
 The Kansas City market receives a large number of goats compared with other markets, but compared with the number of sheep received the number is small. The biggest goat years were 1902 and 1903. Tn 1902 there were 75,OO0 to SO,OO0 goats sold and in 1863 from 10000 to 75,000. Last year there were only 23000 on the market. From the number thus far this year 1t looks tS IT llit TtNtlUtS W III tANttu stHel years. The bulk of the goat trade comes from Texas and New Mexico. The trade here is handled by a few firms. As such a limited number s0f goats arrive they usually find a ready market. Fat goats this week are selling from about $3.50 to $3.75 n hundred. Namies. or does, are bring ing from S3 to $4 a head.
 Even if goats do not arrive very often at the stockyards there are al- ways goats there. for the stockyards company owns about 15. and each packing house has an animal These are used to lead the sheep. When ever a load of sheep arrives a goat Is taken to the train to lead the band of sheep. sometimes numbering thou sands, to the pens. later to be slangh- tered. The goats are most needed af- ter a rain. for sheep balk. as they are afraid of mud pebbles."-Richmond Journal.

METHODS OF CHINESE DOCTORS.
Prescriptions of Many Ingredients

Treatment by Massage.
 Chinese physicians of much repute never visit afoOt, but must be carried to the patient on horse. mule or jack or in a carriage. At the patients resi- dence the doctor first rests awhile. and in the meantime is served with liquors and confections and often with a for maj meal.
 He usually collects no fee, but re- ceives a percentage of the fees of the apOthecary. 1T he does not himself have an apothecary shop. Tn all cases of cure, however. he Is rewarded with rich presents. whose value depends on the rapidity and completeness of ue relief. Apothecary shops exist iu every village of any size.
 Prescriptions always consist cf sev- eraI drugs. as high as twenty ingreIi. ents being frequently the case Tley are put up in small pill shape ot xirsa In their natural condition and hoils.l together by relatives.

Miniature Auto. on Bracelets.

Speaking of the trend of fashion in different directions word comes from abroad that one of the newest fads, which is unique in its freakishness, is the automobile bracelet, says a writer fin the New York Press. It is compos- cd of a chain made up entirely of tiny gold and jeweIed motor cars. The lamps are composed of tiny diamonds, and every detail is carefully carried out In spite of the value of the jew els and metals employed the real cost of such a bit of jewelry comes from the workmanship.
