Mitchell had formed the acquaintance
of fellow convict named Thomas,
who was doing time for the theft of
harness. Thomas had told Mitchell that
he combined preaching with larceny
and mixed the duties of singing reviv-
alist with those of "koniacker." Sub
sequently Mitchell had carried written
communications from Biebush to
Thomas, and the latter, Mitchell said,
was then in st. Louis following his in
congruous occupations of saving souls
and passing bad money.
But little time was required to To-
cate Thomas. A man answering our
description of him was found to be
preaching at the Methodist church at
Morgan and Twenty-fourth streets. To
all appearances Rev. Andrew Jackson
Thomas sometimes known as Austin

was doing good work in the vineyard.
1T was found that he was living with
his wife in Finney avenue, west of
Grand avenue. The couple had no chill
dren, and, so far as l could learn, they
lived much to themselves, SO far as
their neighborhood was concerned. A

GAINING ON THE FAIR SEX
According to This Report Men Will
Soon Outnumber the
% Women.

Frau Gnauck-kuehne is one of the
creates, German authorities on the mod
err feminist movement, and after mature
study and the collection of statistics she
has come to the conclusion that the
supey;iuty of women in so many European
countries is fact which in the first place
is in no sense an evil. and in the second
place is rapidly disappearing.
In another twenty years, she believes,
the tide will begin to surn the other way
and the men will be in the majority even
in such countries as England and Ger
many. where at the> present time women
immensely predominate. Some of her
statistics are most interesting. In Lux
embnnrs. for example, in 1890 there We're
l.u2 women for every 1000 men. There
are now only 999. In Australia the pro-
norton has been reduced in the same time
from i.044 to 1.O35. in Hungary from LOIS
to 1909. in Switzerland from l.O57 to 1885.
in Sweden from LOGS to l,049. in Germany
from :.O4O to LOSE. in England from 1855
to l.Oi7. She does not believe that any
European nation except Russia will long
continue to increase rapidly in proportion.
England has begun to follow the example
of France and Germany will certainly FOL
low England's footsteps.
In all advanced" European states the
birth rate is eitker becoming stationary,
or begins to show backward tendency.

Eat fruit early in the morning and
