TRACED BY SLENDER CLEws.
Criminals Run Down By Detectives
 Seizing On Trivial Incidents.

The eye of the law is remarkably keen nowadays. A few weeks back man found himself in the lo,k main ly through cobweb. 4 det ,ctivc had been attracted to pay nim peculiar s.t- tention by the fact that, fashi onably attired, he was walking down the street with a mass of coowe5s on the elbow of his frock coat, says wr.ter in Stray Stories.
 The news received later that a rob bery had been effected at wine yns..- chants office in the neighborhood sCg- gested the question whether there were in the cellars, where the thief might have concealed himself, cob webs of the same description.
 There were, and the immediately dressed man will in future probably take a clothes brush with him when engaged in like pursuits, He will not need one. however, for over two years.
 Tt is the little thing that catches the criminal" declared M. Mace, the great head of the Paris police. He caught criminal named Avenet by a scent the offender used.
 The crime was a terrible one---tfe murder of lady for her jewels and certain bonds in her possession. The lady was discovered lying upon the floor of her room dead. She had been strangled. No one had been seen go- ing in or departing from her rooms. There appeared no clew.
 A handkerchief-a lady on the floor beside her It was at .nce assumed that the handkerchief was her hand. But 1t was scented, and no one had ever known madam to use that peculiar scent.
 Mace came to the conclusion that it belonged to the murderer. and that the assassin was a man of effeminate and dandyish habits. Within four days Mace had found his man. II was the scent that led to his head falling into NJ. Deibler's basket
 The mystery surrounding the death of a great Continental banker was cleared by means of a cigar holder foupd in the room with the body. Nc one could identify the holder. Nc one had ever seen the banker using it. But in the holder was a small piece of unconsumed cigar end
 Experts pronounced it a cigar oi the finest quality--one which only . person of wealth could afford to pur- chase. This evidence appeared to confirm the notion that the cigar hold ed had belonged to the dead plutocrat } He had cigars in the house, too, oi , the same brand.

AN "ExTRA" SCARE.
Two Enterprising Young Men Arouse
 Whitney Avenue Section.

Extra Extra, Yumpty- dump -aw, found Guilty! What do you know about the trial" It was the voices of two brazen-lunged news-h -hawkers. All over the Whitney avenue district of the city they went Wednesday night, hawking the 10 o'clock final extras of a scare head New York evening paper, which had taken three hours to come up from the big city and arrived here by g o'clock in the evening.
 The Pound Gpilty!N part of the information volunteered by the two human megaphones was spoken as clearly as a professor of elocution could ask for The 'Yumpty- -dumpty- aw" part sounded just enough like Harry K Thaw to be tempting. Con clusions were quickly reached; Thaw mad been found guilty, impossible as so quick trial seemed The uneX- pected had happened. and even the most conservative of the residents of the section found themselves hurryins to their front doors almost uncon- sciously before they knew It, and whistlng to one or the other of the young men to please come over anc sell them penny paper at five or ter cents each, so that they could reao the details of the end of ,ne trial al | for themselves.
 The young men came as they were bidden, quickly consummated theil sales, and hurried on again. The res idents of the section gave a sigh o relief as they turned indoors again and offered up little prayer O thanks that the young men with thu brazen tongues had selected their par ticular section of the city to hawl their wares in. Then they settled dowi before a cheerful fireplace with drol light and made themselves comfort able for the reading of the conclusion of one of the most sensational ant world famous trials that America ha had in years.
 But the trouble began. Guilty Who is guilty they wondered. The, hurriedly scanned the head lines 0 the front pages of their papers. Il the center column under the monste word Extra" the news which tn Journal Courier had had in its offic hours before in reference to the in dictment of the president of the Ham ilton bank was given. It was tn steenth time they had been fooled il just the say way and they careful. slid their paper into their waste pape baskets as quietly as they could befor the rest of the members of the famil noticed how they had been sold.
 Those who had been unable to bu a copy of the papers began to call u the Journal-Courier office on tn phone to find out if it was really SC They were informed otherwise. The there was the usual passage of uncom plimentary remarks about the Ne' York papers again.
