Enforcing the Cattle Quarantine.

A special from Clemson College to
the Charleston News and Courier
says:
'Dr, M. Ray Powers, State veteri-
marian, caused considerable excite
ment last week in the enforcement of
the government quarantine laws con-
cerning the shipment of cattle. A
gentleman in Walhalla, which Is
above the quarantine line for cattle,
shipped car of cattle to Charleston,
which is below the quarantine line.
That is entirely lawful. However,
some OF the cattle were not sold, and
the railway company accepted them
for return shipment to Walhalla,
which Is unlawful, since the quaran-
tine regulations do not allow the
shipment of cattle from infected ter
ritory into non-infected territory.
The car Of cattle Is, therefore, sus-
pended In Honea Path, which Is just
below the quarantine line"
The shipper of these cattle was r..
j. Todd, of the City Meat Market,
Walhalla, and he says he Will look to
the Southern Railway to make good
his losses, as the return shipment
was not his affair. Mr.. Todd left this
morning for Columbia, but it is not
known IL his trip had any bearing on
this matter

WILLIAM G. THOMAS DEAD.
News of Death was Received with
Sorrow Here Yesterday.

The news cf the death of William
g. Thomas, a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Thomas, who reside near
West Union, was received in Wal
halla yesterday with deep sorrow by
our people. Mr.. Thomas was known
to wide circle here and was uni
versally liked. For some time past
reports favorable to his recovery had
been received from the hospital at
Columbia, and his friends hoped
soon to see him back at his accus-
toned position with the Blue Ridge
road. A sudden turn for the worse,
however, was announced, and his
death quickly followed.
The following from the Anderson
Mail of yesterday will be read with
sorrow:
THE body of w. q. Thomas, who
was injured several months ago by
diving into Rocky River, arrived in
the city to-day on the noon train
from Columbia. He died last night
in the Columbia Hospital, where he
was taken for treatment soon after
the accident occurred.
Several days ago telegram was
received in the city announcing a
change for the worse in Mr.. Thomas
condition, and Mrs. Thomas and two
be with him. He suffered much dur
ing the past few days, but was con-
scious to the last and talked with
those gathered about his bedside.
Mr.. Thomas, at the time of his
accident, had just been promoted to
engineer on the Blue Ridge yards
here, having previously had a run
between Anderson and Walhalla as
fireman for some time. He was
about 33 years old and a man of
powerful build. He is survived by
his wife and two children.
The accident which has resulted
in Thomas death was very sim
gular one. In diving from the bank
at Rocky River his head struck the
bottom with terrific force and one Of
the small vertebrae in the back of his
neck was broken. He was partially
paralyzed and remained in this con-
dition to the end"
The body of Mr.. Thomas will be
brought to West Union at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, and the funeral will
be held at Poplar Springs at 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. 1t is
probable that number of the mem-
bers Of Oconee Conclave, l. o. H.,
will attend the funeral in body,
Mr.. Thomas having been one of the
staunch members OF that order.
In their sad bereavement the fa-
ther and mother, wife, brothers and
sisters of the deceased have the deep
sympathy OF many friends.

THE REVIVAL OF DISCUSSES AND
'.MAKE-UP' BY GOTHAM SLEUTEiS
Necesstated by the Increase Of "Black Hand" Crimes
and the Growth Of Policy Shops.

which he had borrowed for the occa-
sion. With these simple properties
and much familiar allusion to the elm
ic and the hospitals the detective was
received without question and gather
ed enough evidence to clinch his case.
In pickpocket cases, however, in
contrast to this, a conspicuous make
up is most likely to be successful. For
such work the detective overdresses.
He selects clothes Of very pronounced
color and design and affects flashy
jewelry and neckwear. Curiously
enough, it has been found that the
most conspicuous dress in this work
attracts the least attention. In work
ing on pickpocket cases-"dip" cases
as they are known in the profession
the detective usually works in the
East side cafes in side streets, where
stuss is played and the dip" is likely
to pass his leisure hours. @
The detective in his somewhat
flashy clothes poses as a man from out
of town with plenty of leisure and
money enough to stand a drink or
play a hand at cards. 1t is slow and
delicate work ingratiating himself
with the pickpocket, naturally an ex-
ceedingly suspicious person, but many
dips" are landed in this way. The
same detective in the same makeup
will ride about town for days on the
rear platform of cars watching for
pickpockets.
The makeup Of city engineer or sur
veyor is an almost infallible illusion in
certain classes Of cases. Where it is
necessary to get into certain ground
or house which is being guarded the
surveyors instrument acts as the open
sesame. Such place may be jealous
ly guarded against every one, as, for
instance, the newspaper reporter, the
police, lawyers or doctors, but ninety
nine times in hundred the surveyor
will walk in with ease.

tective in the so-called lodging

q d
such work Is that Of Z bell hop" o.
bell boy. The detective who assumes
such a disguise must have a slight
figure and a youthful appearance,
which lends itself to such makeup.
In recent tenderloin hotel case in
which newspaper man was murdered
q detective donned the livery of
bell boy and ran brands about the
hotel for days while accommodating evi.
dence. After few days he decided
that the elevator man was in better
position to watch different floors, and
he thereupon was promoted to the
dignity Of elevator man. The quiet,
unobtrusive young man wearing the
hotel livery attracted little attention.
1t seemed perfectly natural that he
should be prowling about the various
floors at all hours of the day and
night. At the end Of two weeks sufi.
Gent evidence had been gathered to
fasten suspicion on the murderer.

HIRED HEApeEAR FOR WEDDING.
How Veteran Silk Hatmaker Would
Retain Some Of His Trade.

How a Veteran Silk Hatmaker Would
Retain Some Of His Trade.
In little shop near Clements Inn
there lives veteran hatmaker of g
summers who hopes that the day of
the top hat will come again this year.
Piled against the panes of the win.
dow fronting Hougton street are rows
of silk hats Of varying shapes and
degrees Of glossiness. In front two
handbills, bearing the imprint of an
old-itme printer Of Bouverie street,
announce that Christopher Clarke has
for sale a variety of silk hats, ranging
in price from As. Cd. to los. Cd. each.
On circular board hung over the
door, 1t is stated, that silk hats may
be "hired for weddings and funerals"
TRADE is nothing like what it was"
he confided yesterday to a member
of our staff, "and orders for silk hats
are not nearly so plentiful as they
were when started in the business in
1884. A good hat doesn't wear out
every day, and it can be remade quite
equal to new"
The lending Of hats, he added, is
not very important or lucrative
branch Of the business, and it was
only adopted three or four years ago
to assist in retaining some Of the
trade that was slipping away. One
shilling per day is charged for the
liam of smart up-to-date hat for use
at wedding or other social function.

HOW COINS WERE swEATED.
An illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.

An illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making OF
counterfeit coins. and usually con-.
bined with the nefarious trade, is
what is known as sweating" which
requires considerable skill to accom-.
plish successfully. A rubber mold is
used, into which gold coin to be
sweated is introduced and help With
a clip.
Copper wires having been adjuste ;.
the coin Is immersed in a bath of cy.
anide of potassium and an electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upo nthe Soin in the acid
uniformly sweats the metal-that is
to say, causes so much of it to be-.
come detached. This process is gona
through with large number of coins
and the gold deposit thus obtained j..
extracted from the acid
1t is for tho purpose Of detectire
the existence Of such reduced coins
that bankers weigh gold coins in p
balance, and if one is in the scale
it will Immediately be shown by th.,
indicator. The light coin is then takel
out, and whatever the shortage repro
sents that amount the customer wi.
have to make up or be fined.
But, all things considered, sweat.
ing is but a poor business, says Mr.
H. l.. Adam, in his interesting book.
"The Story Of Crime" and evidently
it is thought SO by the criminal fra.
ternity, for it has dwindled to mere
nothing. In 1871, in the annual re.
port Of the master Of the mint, the
ohicial chemist stated that during the
year he had had only two sovereigns
submitted to him which had under.
gone the process of sweating. A SOW.
\ ereign weighs 123.27447 grains, and
the limit Of error in the weight is
OF Of . grain. from which it may
readily be gathered that sweating
cannot now be . very lucrative bust
