 tine Monks.
 London, May 21.-In a dispatch from Rome the correspondent of the Times says he learns the pope has issued q decree entrusting the entire revision of the Vulgate to the Benedictine order. This is the most important decision yet announced, the correspondent con- tinues. as an outcome of the Biblical commission appointed toward the end of the pontihcate of Leo XIII.
 In an editorial article the Times says 1t is difficult to over estimate the in- portance of this step No book the paper declares, has exercised a wid- or and more powerful influence in moulding the faith, morals, thought and traditions of the literature of the Euro pean world than the Latin version of the Scriptures, which we know as the Vulgate For 1,50O years it has been setting It's impress upon the lives and the whole mental heritage of countless millions of men"
 The paper adds the step Is a bold one. but it will be hailed with satis- faction by many within as well as without the church of Rome.

Santiago Police.
 Washington. May 20.-The navy de- partment to-day received a dispatch from Santiago, Cuba, stating that En- sign Alfred T. Brisbin, who was in diff fculty with the police of Santiago about a fortnight ago in company with sailors from the Tacoma had shot him self through the lung and was in ser- ious condition. Ensign Brisbin Is in Santiago. The official investigation of the trouble with the Santiago police ap- pears to have developed the fact that Brisbin was drinking with the sailors. which would doubtless have resulted in his having been court martialed. Bris- bin entered the Annanolis naval acad- emy from Pennsylvania in 1889 and graduated in 1903. He was born in Idaho.

Stories of Eccentric Kleptomania
 in Snaart Washington Society

The wife of a former Washington resident had a most distressing habit or picking up trifies at different shops. These articles when found by members or her family were always promptly returned, or bills for them quietly paid; so that few of their friends were ever aware of these occurrences.
 Some years ago an assistant secre- tary of one of the executive depart ments and his wife attsaded a beauti- full musicale given by a very promi- | nent society matron. His wife was suffering intensely with bad sick headache and her hostess suggested that she should go to her dressing room and rest for a while. The dark ened room (only one gas jet by the dressing table was lighted and turned half off) proved welcome refuge from l the glare and heat down stairs, and Mrs. Blank rested quietly on the lounge in an alcove out of sight. She had been there some time when the door was pushed gently open and young girl came into the room. She walked softly over to the dressing table and stood arranging her hair Just as Mrs. Blank started to call her by name the girl quietly took up two very hand- some solitaire diamond stickpins from the jewel box on the table and delib- erately pinned them in her dress. Mrs Blank was too petrified to speak and the girl glided out of the room as quietly as she had entered. Mrs. Blank, considerably frightened. sent for her husband. and related what she had seen. He at once called the host ess aside and told her of this occur renee. As the guests were leaving the young girl stepped up to her hostess to say good night. The latter smiled.
 Good night my dear" she said softly. Pardon me, I think some of my jewelry has caught in your lace. Allow me" and she quickly leaned over and drew out the valuable pins from the girls wafst.
 This spring the wife of an army off, ficer went to New York to do some summer shopping. On Twenty-third Street she met an old school friend and promptly asked her to lunch with her and proposed going to the matinee af- terward, to which her friend gladly agreed. They went back to the Fifth Avenue Hotel and up to the washing ton woman's room While talking to her. friend Mrs. X. took from her trunk SEQ bill which she laid upon a lit- tie mahogany table near her guest. She stopped to put some bundles in her trunk and then turned to pick up the money. It was gone.
 why. wheAe is that billr' she ex- claimed. T laid it on this table,"
 Did you?' said her friend. T haven't seen it.'
 They hunted through the simply fur nished room, but met with no success. Finally her guest went into the sit- ting room and immediately called out: "Oh, here it is on the floor." As Mrs. X. had not entered that room dur ing the call the situation was obvious. Tn repeating the incident to her hus- band she added:
 Tt was the longest afternoon of my life. would willingly have given her twice that amount had she asked for it."

<1lfx Form of Mania That Causes
 Craving For spoons and Bric-s-Brae.

Y The gentle art of kleptomania is a most fascinating study. 1t has crop ped out in many forms, strange and < unreal in Washington society, and the victims seldom entirely recover from thes shock of its discovery. A genuine thief in the night is startling, but in society and among friends such hap penlng are tragedies.
 There is what may be termed the common. or garden variety. a harm less kleptomaniac who collects souve- niTF, and whose craze (for that is what 1t amounts to) carries him to ans extreme. says The New York TiIpes.
 Some winters ago a debutante gave a Small dinner dance. The afternoon of 4he entertainment she received two signed photographs of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The debutante left them upon a table in the drawing room and after the dinner showed the pictures to her guests. When the small dance was over she remembered the pictures, and went to the table where she had left them They had disappeared. The house was immedi- ately searched from top to bottom, but nos trace of the missing photographs was ever found.
 There is a little old lady who goes Co a great many teas and evening re- ceptions. At them she always carries an4 old-fashioned reticule into which she empties whole plate of little iced cakes, much to the consternation of sthe servants She never varies in this habit, and her Washington friends are very much puzzled to know what she does with them. She lives very comfortably upon an income derived from half million dollars.
 Turing President Arthur's adminis- frakfon large ball was given by one Of The foreign ministers who had been here but short time and did not know theS ropes, and he invited every one who had called at the legation. Con- seupently there was a terrible crush. At supper the guests did not stop to be Served by the walters, but helped thenselves They broke the necks off the champagne bottles, and wine flow ed on the floor One grand dame stat ed afterward that she had stood ankle deep in champagne. The party did not break up until an early hour the next morning. A prominent ciubman was helping the wife or a distinguished Senator to find her wraps, and they were just leaving when an excited Frrenchman barred their exit.
 Mon dieu. stop. stop!" he exclaimed. HShe Is one large thief"
 The clubman, greatly incensed, or- fer&d him to stand aside, but the lit- tie Frenchman would not move, and two other servants joined him. The cIubman's temper got the best of him, and he made a threatening step for ward At that crucial moment a silk bag dropped from Mrs. S-'s hand and out feIi one silver dessert spoon with the crest of the legation engraved up- on 1t and one. ornamental meat skewer.
