The following is anonymous letter re-
ceived by the writer last week just after.
the issue of the paper:
With compliments Of Langdon friends.
who appreciate your kind efforts to de-
scribe distances, and your strenuous ef-
forts to entertain less intelligent people,
who are unable to form opinions Of their
own.
1 THE COMMITTEE"
The letter was accompanied by small
yard tape measure.
We take it to be an insinuation that
this paper is not making fair report OF
the trial, that we are attempting to maun-
facture public sentiment in favor OF the
defendants, etc.
So far as the writer or writers Of the let
ter are concerned we have been too many
years in the newspaper business to bother
our heads with any such nameless crit.
cism. But we take this opportunity to
say, that up to this writing, Wednesday
evening at three minutes to II O'Clock,
that while we have attended as closely
as was possible for us so to do to the
evidence in this trial, that so far we have
not made up our ewn minds as to the
guilt or innocence of the accused and
don't expect to until the evidence is
all in and the case given to the jury, and
even then il the jury should render
verdict different from our own opinion
we will be willing to acknowledge that
they are as likely to be right as we are.
We are trying to give the main state
ments of the evidence as given, we are
taking the utmost pains to have it as
nearly correct a possible. but in the nee
essary boiling down process it is quite
possible for us to make some minor
errors. LII.
Ifthey are made it is without the
slightest intentional bias on our part.
We have no personal interest IN the case.
We want simple justice done and we
have in no case drawn conclusions from
the testimony or made any effort to
change public sentiment. On the other
hand if we do make an error we shall be |
glad to correct if our attention is. called
to it, which the writer's Of the anony-
nous letter omit to do though they ap-
pear. to have some error in mind. Tie
measurements given in our diagram were
copied from the map introduced by the
state and the diagram corresponds ap-
proximately to those measurements, and
was given US merelyto show the meaning
more clearly as it is referred to in the
greater part OF the testimony as given by |
the witnesses on both sides.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The men work
ing on Millionaire Morgan's new town
house have been going at top speed for
months on what is an uncommonly
complicated job. Two large mansions
in Princes Gate-Morgans original
town house and it's neighbor, which be-
longed to the late Mrs. Schenley of
Pittsburg-have been thrown into one
and when the elaborate scheme of dec
grafton has been completed the house
will be the most elegantly equipped in
London. Crimson and gold are beau
tifully blended, and the staircases are
mostly of the richest Carrara marble
polished so highly that 1t reflects like
a mirror. The great ballroom will be
the largest in the kingdom, and the
polished floor is designed with the view
of accommodating $50 couples at a
time. 1t throws the ballroom in the
Duchess of Marlborough's new house
completely into the shade. The accom-
mediation for the band is in side gal
lery. Huge mirrors hang on the walls,
SO that the dancers can watch each
others movements.
Morgan showed his appreciation of
the mems efforts by giving each of
them a brace of pfleasants and an ex-
ira days pay at New Years.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-lt is not gener-
ally known that Admiral Sir Lewis
Anthony Beaumont, the representative
of Great Britain in the International
commission that is inquiring into the
attack Of Russian warships on the
North Sea fishing fleet. has an Ameri
can wife. She is the daughter of
Charles G.. Perkins of Boston and a
very charming and socially popular
woman. The gallant sailor considers
his marriage TO her in 1885 as the most
fortunate event of his career, ashore
or atioat.
British admirals go, being three years
short of so years old. He entered
the navy some four and forty years
ago. England has done little sea fight
ing during that period, and 1t is not
the admirals fault. therefore, that he
has seen little of naval engagements.
AS lieutenant he served in the Arc
tic expedition "of 1875 and 1876, and
earned promotion for his services and
also a fellowship in the Royal Geo
graphical Society. In 1882 he was
naval attache for Europe--a species of
rowing commission whose high-sound-
ing title conveys rather more than it's
actual duties warrant. For three years
subsequently he was private secretary
to Lord Northbrook when that states
man was First Lord of the Admiralty,
and as High Commissioner accom-
panied him on his fas:rons mission to
Egypt in 1854. From 1891 to 1895 he
was commander of the training squad
ron. and during the three years follow
ing added greatly to his reputation as
director of naval Intelligence. For the
next three years he was naval A. D. G.
to Queen Victoria.
In 1899 he was made commander in
chief of the Pacific, with headquarters
in Australia. He was there when the
Prince and Princess of Wales made
their globe -circling tour, and while
they were in Australia he was in per-
sonal attendance on them. 1t affords
striking illustration of the species
Of flunkeyism which gains titles that
ii was for this and not for eminence
in his profession that he was made
x. c. NJ G.-knight commander of the
Order of ST. Michael and ST. George.
However. he has deserved it for other
things. His shore training, no less
than his experience a1loat. well quail
fies him for the semi-judicial duties
which attach to his present mission.
He is well versed in the arts of di-
plomacy, and better perhaps than that
bluff sea dog, Sir Charles Beresford,
knows how to give expression To an
emphatic opinion without woundinis
the sersibilities of his colleagues. To
consunmate knowledge of seamanship
he adds the polish of wide culture and
familiarity with court society. AS his
photograph shows. he has what Jack
Tar calls q fine f1Curehead

s MANCHESTER, Jan. 2S.-An Ameri-
can companys recent location In Man
chester is going to make lot Of diff
ference in the condition of the working
classes of this city. The company in
question is the American Wagon and
Car Company, and UP to the time that
Its Representatives made their ap-
pearance III Manchester, few months
ago, 1t looked as If there would be
nearly as acute distress here through
lack of employment as exists in Lon
don at present. Things were slack
everywhere-the cotton mills were on
short time, and even the Westinghouse
Company showed no signs OF wanting
more hands.
Soon after the American Wagon and
Car Company started operations in
Manchester, however, 1t became evil
dent that the whole situation was 60
ing to be changed. The company came
over at the invitation of the promoters
of the new tube" which will connect
the south and southwest of London
with the northwest by means of a
tunnel under the Thames at Charing
Cross. The distance is about four
miles, and the scheme is going to be
known as the Waterloo and the
Baker street extension. The line is eX-
pected to be ready for working in
about six months, before which time
the Wagon and Car Company has
contracted to produce all the necessary
rolling stock.
Four acres of land have been ac-
quired by the company at Old Traf-
ford, a suburban district of Manches-
ter, and here an army Of workmen have
been employed night and day for the
last month erecting the necessary
buildings and machinery. The sys-
tenn employed Is to go on producing
the rolling stock for the tube" stimuli
taneously with the erection of the
building. English workmen have never
seen anything like this before. and
those who come to seek employment
look on in amazement at the hus-
Ting that is proceeding under appar-
emily quiet and we'll organized condi-
tions. Those who have been taken on
are now earning wages which they
never before have received in any Brit
ish employment The company will
spend at least $75. 900 between now and
April In the purchase of material for
the construction of their works. and
much of this is to be found in Man
chester and the district.
1t is estimated that the company will
be able to give employment to between
1000 and 1900 men when everything is
in proper working order. The rolling
stock of the Waterloo and Baker street
extension is merely the commencement
of their operations in England. Big
ger things are expected to follow.

His nerve and GOODNESS never desert
ed him. One day he entered a
house in broad daylight while the wom-
an who owned it was out for walk.
While he was inside the woman's
father-in-law arrived and knocked at
the door. Hirst opened it, saluted the
caller and told him rather frigidly that
the lady of the house was out. The rel
ative left Immediately, but while going
away met his daughter-in-law and de-
manded who was the man she had in
her house. OF course, she was astound-
ed, but when she reached home with
policeman, found that the intruder
and goodly number of her most valu-
able trinkets had disappeared.
Hirst had particularly ingenious
way of getting into houses, and one
which generally puzzled the police, who
could never find that locks had been
forced or windows broken. He had a
wire with loop at the end of 1t par
TALLY wound with cotton wool, and so
arranged that If put through a letter
box 1t could be used to pull back the
catch of the doorlock. Hirst got rid of
his plunder to dealers in stolen proper
~, whom he met by night at some
specially chosen rendezvous. He corre-
sponded with them by means of cipher
messages
Unluckily for this amateur cracksman
he had an unconlmonly clever member
of his former craft on his trail in the
person of Detective Sergeant Fipp Of
Scotland Yard. For months while the
Balham burglaries were going on and
Hirst was playing the part of society
butterfly on the proceeds therefrom
Fipp worked on the mystery without
much result. At first the authorities
had believed that an organized gang
was at work, but after a while Fipp
satisfied himself that the series of
crimes were committed by one man.
He decided, too. that the robber must
live in the district which he evidently
knew like a book. So he set himself
to find out if there was any one in Bal
ham who seemed to be prospering ex-
ceedingly without doing much work
Finally he became suspicious of Hirst
who. though he posed as a private de-
tective, didn't appear to have many
clients and yet lived on the fat OF the
land. So he got in touch with Hirst's
landlord and eventually got permission
to visit the detectives rooms. Tn the
fireplace the real sleuth discovered a
torn check taken from a checkbook
which had formed part of the pro-
ceeds of recent burglary. Then he
arrested First and made more careful
search OF his establishment, when arti-
cles of jewelry and other valuables
were found relating to seventeen cases
of theft.
Not the least remarkable thing about
Hirst's case was, the. plea on. which. af-
ter his conviction, the ''gentlemaf1 bur-
glar" asked not to be sentenced to pc
nal servitude. Through his counsel he
issued written petition to the Judge.
in which. after stating that his relatives
were highly respectable and that he
had received good education. he said:
II have during my remand seen enough
OF the ordinary prisoners to see what
they are like and can assure you that
1t Is my earnest desire not to associate
with such class of people. pray you
not to send me to prison to, mix with
such an ordinary class of criminals"

WEALTHY AMERICAN GIRL
SCORNS BRITISH TITLES

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-There are few
women in England who dispense char
ity more generous y and with less osten-
tation than Miss Van Wart, formerly
of Washington. The poor of Londons
dreary East End, especially the chill
dren, are regular recipients of her
bounty, but it is not restricted to any
one locality. Wherever she goes-and
she is fond of travel-she devotes time
and money to the poor of the locality.
During recent visit to the High
lands or Scotland she personally visited
many of the crofters-small peasant
farmers, many of whom are in a chonic
state of poverty-and found much to
arouse her compassion. She relieved
some of the most urgent cases at once
by donations of food and clothing, and
left a substantial sum with q local
charitable society to be expended in the
relief of these poor people.
Miss Van Wart is an inveterate and
fearless slum explorer. On her return
journey to London she stopped at Glas-
gov, whose praises as a model munich
pality have been sounded by several
American writer's, and visited some OF
the districts that are seldom seen by
transatlantic tourists. Here she found
destitution and misery quite equal to
anything that she had seen in the worst
quarters of London. Things were not
quite so bad with many of the poor
wretches when she left the city.
Miss Van Wart is very popular in
English society. and at the same time
a sore puzzle to 1t. She is rich main
tains handsome town residence in
Curzon street and a stately country
seat-Ditton Park-near Slough, and
entertains Hospitality at both places.
Apparently she prefers England to
America. She is a handsome woman,
with a dignified manner and bearing
that would grace the most exalted po-
sition.
Though peers in plenty are willing to
share their titles with her, she persists
in remaining a. spinster and retaining
control of her own exchequer.

ALL NATIONS TO TAKE
PART IN PEACE DANCE
One Thousand Guests Will Attend
Affair to Be Held in
London.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The international
peace dance, which will be held at the
Hotel Cecil on January 81, will be at
tended by about 1000 guests, drawn
from nearly every nation in Europe, as
we'll as from the United States.
The guests will be received by Lord
Strathcona, president of the City of
London International Association, to
which the credit of the idea belongs.
The arrangements are in the hands
of D. G. Collins, the chairman of the
association.
Supper will be served at national ta-
bles, and the band of the Scots Guards
has been engaged.
