Electric decorations which will put even

beautiful. From Fourth and Main to
Seventh and Olive long strings of mean

Central park lights will be placed every
fifteen feet.
Unlike past electrical decorative schemes,
distinct color scheme will be carried out
The strings of lights across the streets
will be covered by Japanese lanterns of
light yellow color which will permit more
light to get through. At the intersections
of the streets gaily colored lanterns will
be used green at one intersection, yellow
at another, red at another. Several of the
cross streets will also be decorated with
lights.
Besides the electrical decorations, papier

will also be used in profusion. This en-
blem will also be shown on pennants,
banners, etc. Red, white and blue bunt-

A woman masquerading as a man is

cate" All of those details describe
more than ninety-five pounds also,' say
the police.
The 'man" is said to wear three rings
all cheap; one on the second and one on
the third finger of the right hand, ant
one on the first finger of the left hand
The police, who know masculine crimt
nails, agrees that crooks never wear rings
The fact that the first finger of the left
hand is adorned with ring gives added
proof to the theory that the person sought
is woman, for, detectives say. not one
man in a million can be seen wearing a
ring on the first finger of either hand.
The age is given as Is years. The poles
declare a woman of any age between y
and 30 dressed up in mans attire, would
look like a youth of Is.
The local detectives believe this 81
strongly that they are looking for .wo,
man and are putting forth every effort
to discover one who fits the description
given above, whether the suspect be
dressed as man or as a woman.
A detective at the central station, who
has been in the business for many, years
said yesterday: There is no doubt that
If it does, as we believe, she is clever
one. 1t would only be an experienced
crook who would take those pictures, OF
some one who had an idea of their artis-
woman. No doubt she knew exactly
about the church and all it's works of art
and intended to take all of the set OF
fourteen.
1T would be easy for a feminine crook
to make away with property of that de
scription, for few, people would think OF

her is unusual and of sort seldom met

"Have you any other clews than this?'
'All that we have to say is what you
see on the police bulletin. I cannot dis

know" The detective looked as If HI
