They are not only skillful and daring but numerous; you see them everywhere and the most dangerous of them are boys of thirteen and fourteen who swarm like vermin in the dark streets, who surround you and relieve you with more facility and deXterity than the AItful Dodger himself or any other pu- pil of the illustrious MT Fagin.
 There were not to be found as many as ten honest people in Sodom. There are about ten left in Warsaw, The rest have been arrested. Those ten it would be hard to find. They have taken away the brass plates from their doors, they have clothed themselves in rags, and since they have not been arrested it is probable that they are seldom seen in the streets. There is a threefold terror here-hrst from the thieves, sec- ond from the soldiery and third from the bomb throwers.

 In the Icelandic sagals man with meeting eyebrows is said to be one of the dreadful cratures known as were wolves, and the same belief has been traced in Denmark and Germany; while in Greece, says Mr. Barring Gould, they are a sign that man is a vamaire. In horror there is little to choose be- tween vampires and were-wolves. A fancinul reason which has been given for these superstitons is that the meet ing brows resemble a butterfly, the familiar type of a soul ready to fly off and enter. some other body. This seems t3lerably far fetched.
 Tn Hungary gypsy women and men whose eyebrows grow together are sup posed to have in special degree the power of entertainment, and as Hitter ate folk have great dread of such mysterious powers. especially as they may be supposed totbe directed against the we'll being or happiness of their children, it need hardly be said that a man whose brows meet is not popular person. Even now there are parts of England where a belief in witchcraft still fingers, and not so very long ago in Northumberland there were people who regarded a person whose eye brows met as a witch or warlock.

The Terroist who achieved the deed prob- ably escaped for the room was found to be untenanted, but whether he was caught or not the knowledge of the possibility of such a thunderbolt is a continual father of gray hairs.

MERE CRY MAY PROVE
 FATAL TO GILLETTE
(Continued from First Page.)


 that Gillettes counsel made much of an admission secured from one of the states witnesses-the proprietor of the Glenmore hotel, at Big Moose Lake. He stated on the stand that Gillette had told him that he and the young lady wished to take a ride on the lake in the steamboat which plies the water way The hotel man, Andred Morrison, told Gillette that If he went by steamer he would not be able to return ill time for dinner. Morrison declared it was he who suggested to Gillette that he and the girl take row. He also volunteer ed the information that his father, Robert Morrison, ran a boathouse near by and would be glad to accommodate the couple. The elder Morrison later corroborated these statements.
 Gillette's attorneys seized upon this point, as showing that the alleged murder of the girl could not have been planned in the manner the district at torney has asserted to the jury if he had no thought of the rowboat and the lonely ride until the hotel proprietor had suggested that method of seeing the lake rather than by steamboat.
 Tn ecrush to get into the court room to-day was as great as ever. Women by the score stormed the front and side doors. Many of them were on hand as early as 7 o'clock this morning. The court sessions began at 9:3O a, m. and from that hour until adjournment was announced at D. m. many of the Wonl- on who had secured seats on the lower floor and in the gallery did not relin- quish their vantage points for min ute They had come well supplied with food and enjoyed a picnic luncheon during the noon recess,
 At one time the presiding justice had to admonish women and other specta- tors against laughing in the court room. The outburst came when the defense was endeayoring to draw from one of the witnesses some recollection as to how Gillette was dressed the day of the alleged murder. Some minute details were mentioned and 8 number of persons laughed
 "This is no place for laughter, " shouted Judge Devendorf, land the court will convince those who do not maintain quiet of the fact"
 The prosecution introduced witnesses who saw Gillette and the girl drifting along the South bay of Big Moose lake at dusk. They came the testimony of Mrs. Carey as to the scream she had heard.
 Tt was a penetrating and sharp cry of two syllables," she said, T listened to hear If it was repeated but it wal; not. It came from the direction indi- cated (where Grace Browns body was found), and 1t was very high pitched" :"
 Next was introduced witnesses who saw Gillette making his way on foot from Big Moose lake toward Eagle bay The purser of the Lake Steamer Uncas said Gillette boarded the craft there and rode to Arrowhead, where he spent the night at a hotel. The defense en. deayored to draw from the witnesses the fact that Gillettes clothing had thu appearance of a man who had recently fallen overheard, No one noticed hin 4~eleAely enough to say. The proprietor of the Arrow Head hotel said Gillette had brought down a pair of trousers tc be pressed and they apparently haC been thoroughly soaked in water.

THE HORSE SHOW.
Forest King Carries Off the Waldorf
 Astoria Cup.

New York, Nov. M.-In the presence tonight of the largest attendance thus far this week at the annual exhibition of the National Horse Show associa- ton of America at Madison Square garden, Forest King, Judge William Moore's champion gelding carried off the Waldorf Astoria cup. The coveted trophy thus becomes the absolute prop erty of Judge Moore, Forest King hav- ing won 1t in 1903 and 1905.
 The demonstration on the part of the public when the judges made their decision was almost unprecedented in the history of the Horse Show associ- ation. The big crowd fairly roared it's congratulations at the victorious horse and it's owner driver.
 After winning the cup, Judge Moore announced that he had offered the Horse Show association cup to be called the Forest King cup, to be com peted for in the association's exhibi- tion of 1907 and subsequent shows on the same terms as the Waldorf Astoria; Forest King to be barred from compe- tition.
 The Waldorf Astoria cup for the best horse suitable for a gig is valued at 5000. It has been a most sought after prize by horsemen throughout the country It was won first in 1897 It was won twice by Lord Brilliant, and in 1904, the year after Forest Kings first victory it went to Mildred, belonging to Eben D. Jordan of Boston. There were a number of notable entries in the final competition for the cup to-day
 Judge Moore had entered Forest King, Menella and Bryony, but the last named was witdrawn, owing to injuries received in a railroad wreck Miss Gull la Morosini, noted as a horewoman, had two entries, Glorious and Toga, both blue ribbon winners. c. W. Watson of Baltimore, had no less than four en- tries, including the splendid animal Lord Baltimore. Alfred e. Vanderbilt had two entries, one the very much discussed mare, The Youngster Regin- aid vanderbilt had Bravo as a compet- itor There were several other entries besides these.

Some superstitions and Odd Beliefs

 Concerning Them.
 Notwithstanding their inconspicu- ousness, the eybrows have been the center of a certain amount of lore and even superstition. But the chief point at which superstitution or folklore is found in this connection is in those cases, not infrequent, where the eye brows meet. Everywhere this meet ing of the brows has been held to be omnibus in one way or another
 In some of our southern counties folk say that it is good to have such brows, Tor the possessor will never have trouble; but this is a rare interpreta- tlon' As rule, the meeting brows are held to be evil omen.
