Worked The Double Cross.

"This," said the jeweler, lis what
happened here last month.
'Mr. B. drove up in a hanson and
entered my shop, accompanied by his
valet, who carried an oblong box OF
steel. Mr.. B. asked for a private inter.
view and l took him into my Office
There he opened the box exposing a
splendid array of diamond and pearl
necklaces, earrings, tiaras, and stom
achers.
Mrs. B. he said, SIS now abroad
Before she returns l want you to ex-
tract all these stones and to replace
them with good limitations, selling the
real jewels and giving me the money.
This, of course, is to be a confidential
transaction. Mrs. B. is to know moth
ing of it,
II looked at Mr.. B. 1 think !
blushed little"
MY dear sir I said, 4 should be
glad to do what you ask, but it is
impossible. Two years ago Mrs. b
called here on the same errand that
now brings you, and this errand, in
her case, was successful. The paste
jewels that you offer me are worth
little more than the hir, of the hanson
awaiting you outside"

ing to complete the work with a dag.
ger.
Overpowered before he could accom-.
plish his full purpose, Berkmann was
hurried to Jail. Being convicted at
his trial he was given a fifteen year
term in the penitentiary for attempt
to kill. This was supplemented by
one-year term in the Allegheny County
workhouse for carrying concealed
deadly weapons.
Once behind prison bars he gave up
all his leisure time to study. At the
beginning of his term he could read
and write English and German. Dur
ing the first years of his imprison-
ment he eagerly perused all books in
those languages that he could secure.
In course of time he mastered the
Slavic, Polish and Hungarian Ian
guages, and also acquired a good gen.
eral knowledge of Italian, Spanish and
French.

He Liked The Game.

"a seedy looking individual, ap.
parently from the rurals, entered
Flockner's barber shop one day last
week." says the Hobart News-Repub-
lican. "He got in the second chair,
and told Charley he wanted the
whole works.
after Charley had trimmed him
up till he would have passed for Leslie
Niblack, he woke him up.
Hair cut says the sleeper, drows-
lily.
"'Hair's cut says Charlie.

LEARNS L4NGUAGES IN .HH.
Berkmann, Who Tried to Kill Henry
c. Prick, Becomes Linpuist.

When Alexander Berkmann left the
Allegheny County prison in May last,
after having served fifteen years for
an attempt to kill Henry G. Prick,
the coke and steel magnate, he found
himself able to converse fluently In
eight languages.
The years behind prison bars lave
converted him from an avowed an
archist to student and philosopher.
Many persons have forgotten both
Berkmann and his crime, yet they
startled the nation during the days Of
the great Homestead strike Of 1892
Mr.. Frick was one of the managers OF
the steel industry when it grappled In
the gigantic struggle with it's work
men. Berkman4 was so radical, at
the other end of the scale, that he
was classed as leading anarchist
During the excitement of the indus
trial controversy Berkmann found his
way into the Pittsburg offices Of Mr..
Frick, reached that magnate's pres
ence and shot him twice, then attempt.

not such as are provided for steer
age passengers on the Pacific, and if
vessels so equipped were owned and
operated by private line, that line
would be long in getting rid of them,
should the army be suddenly recalled
from the Islands. Furthermore, the
army transport must carry a battery
OF rapid fire guns in her bows, some
thing for which private steamship
companies have very little use.
The second argument advanced by
the adherents of the present system
needs no comment.
The third and last contention is
best supported by a report made on
January N of this year by the Gen.
eral Staff Of the Army to the Senate
Committee on Merchant Marine, in
which it was stated that ito embark
division would require ten 6,500-ton
ships and nine 5.500-ton ships. With
the strength of the regular army two
divisions could be made ready to en-

livelihood wanes, until he is finally
forced from that field of labor, to be
followed by another whose experience
is most likely to be repetition Of his
predecessors.
This stupendous gouging system Is
startling in its vastness, for about
two hundred thousand men are en-
gagged in his vocation Throughout the
country as agents, and the amount Of
money thus obtained by one company
alone employing about fifteen thou
sand mem, is upwards of one million
dollars annually. The officials resort
to many methods of intrigue to pre-
vent the real mission Of tie "arre1rs
and advance" manipulations from be-
coming apparent to the agents, among
which is the lacking of placards In the
offices forbdding agents to pay on in
surances which is beyond the COM
pany's grace period. To the expert
enced agent t reads, "we know you
will pay"
Why this subtle system of graft
has remained almost unmolested for
more than thirty years is a subject
for conjecture.
