WANT DEATH OF A
NEGRO INVESTIGATED.

DORDENTOWN, Oct. AT a
meeting of both white and colored
residents in the City Hall Monday
night, action was taken demanding a
rigid investigation into the death of
Samuel Conover, an aged civil war
veteran, who was found dead after a
fight on the outskirts of town last
week. Two men were arrested on sus-
picion, but allowed to go, as nothing
could be brought against them, but it
was claimed at the meeting that as
Conover was a colored man the inves-
tigation had been dropped. Many are
of the belief that he had been muir
dered.
Mayor Gabel, who presided over
the meeting, was appointed a commit
tee of one to wait upon Prosecutor
Atkinson and other county authori-
ties to urge rigid inquiry into the
case.

CHINESE BURGLARS UNION
Those Wishing to Burgle Must Enter
Organization and Comply with
Stated Rulings.

Everything in China is under the
control of a union of some sort.
We are not surprised at this III the
case of the carpenters and mechan
les, but it does seem a little un
usual that when a man wants to
burgle, if he is a Chinaman, he
must do so according to the rules
of one of these organizations.
When the desire seizes him to rob,
he must. first consult the officers
of the burglars union for permits
sion. This is given him for a GER
tain proportion of the profits Of
the burglary. Such an action here
in America would be called
graft" which means "hush
money"
Burglars go in parties, not in
ones or twOs, as with us. An or.
binary party in China consists OF
Il hundred or more. They sur

FINDS IN ST. JOHN LATERAN
Glorious Golfers Upon Which No Eyes
n Luther's Ever Rested I'm
earthed in Rome.

Rome, and indeed all Italian
towns, are perfect mines of wealth
to the antiquary, even in these
days, when it is generally believed
that there is really nothing left
undiscovered. The truth of this
was practically Illustrated the
other day in the Sancta Sanct0r-
um, o%rchapel o fthe Holy Stairs, at
st. John Lateran, which it was
supposed contained no secrets
The holy stairs, on which no ono
has ever set foot except Luther
all going up r%everently Oh their
knees, lead to a tiny chapel for
merly private to the popes, which
harbored, it was supposed, relics
of the saints, and which no woman
was allowed to enter. The relics
were contained in Golfers, which
have been opened and found
empty, their contents having prob
ably been hidden away at some
time of invasion and never re-
placed. But to the antiquary this
is a small matter, as the glorious
Golfers remain. They have been
examined, and, to the general sur.
prise, are found to be most pre-
ciOus antique and unique works Of
art, so much so as to raise a stir
in art circles. They are many in
number, of various sizes, and are
Of solid silver, deeply chiseled in
the best manner, and date from
the second or third century. One,
which formerly held a piece of the
true cross, is in the shape Of q
cross, and is of inestimable value
The antiquaries have mo0ted the
project of having these magnih-
cent works of art placed SO as to
be on view to the general public.
The pontiff has been approached
and sees no objection, so that the
future visitors to Rome will have
one more "sight" added to the al,
ready long list.

OLD LADY PLUMBERS SELF
While in Apparently Demented Con-
dition, Mile. Godron Robs Her
Own Domocile.

A psychological puzzle has been
discovered at Lille, France, in the
person of an old woman, who at
midnight dresses as a man, with a
burglars kit, robs herself, then re
attires in a dressing gown, and re
places the goods she has taken.
She is Mile. Godron, a rich old
maid, who returned recently from
LOurdes, saying she had been
cured of an incurable disease. Re.
Gently she went to the police and
said she had been robbed of f 1000
in bank notes. The police made
careful inquiries, and as the re
suit they persuaded Mile. GOdron
to engage a new maid. The maid
was a private detective in the pay

She soon discovered that her
mistress was a confirmed som
nambulist. She usually retired az

in which she dressed herself.
She next tied a Grape mask over
her face, pulled a rough cap tight
ly over her head, took a Jenny and
other burglar tools from a drawer,
and, slowing a revolver in her hip
pocket, stole quietly out of the
room.
The first night she took the sill
YER off the dining-room .sideboard.
pushed it into a bag which she
slung across her shoulders, and
stole back to her bedroom. She
then undressed, put on a dressing
gown, and carried the silver back
to the dining-rOom, piece by piece
Another night she let herself
out by the door, broke in through
the drawing-roOm window, opened
a writing desk with a skeleton
! key, and abstracted some money
replacing it as before.
On a third night she stole int
her cooks bedroom, riled he.
