suraIar,a Queer Haul.

While the old adage that beggers
cannot be choosers is usually true. it
does not apply always to the men OF
the deft fingers and the jimmy. Bur
glars usually have q pretty distinct
idea of what they are going to find In
the house they attack before they be-
gin operations. Some peculiar arti-
cles are taken by thfs class Of individ-
uals. but whether the articles give any
clue to the natural tendencies Of the
operator is not determined by criminal
experts.
Among the peculiar things stolen
there was reported to the local police
headquarters recently that a Saginaw
(Mich.) dentist had been robbed OF
1000 false teeth. In the court, when
the thief is arrafgned, he will be- charg-
ed with converting to his own use tho
1000 false teeth.-Washington Star.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS RECORD.

IN One Chinese Family Seven Sens Ex.
eeuted for Highway Robbery.
To-day q remarkable execution has
taken place in this city, the like Of
which think has never happened even
IN the annals Of Chinese executions,
says the Sui-jnu correspondent Of the
Shanghai Mercury.
The man who was executed was
found guilty Of highway robbery and
sentenced to be beheaded. He is the
seventh Of the family to suffer the ex-
treme penalty in this city.
The parents gave birth to eight boys,
landsfrom whatever causes it is impos-
sible for me to say, the whole family
have just given themselves up body
and soul to evil. The poor old mother
escorted this, her seventh, son to the
execution ground wailing her dreadful
fate the whole way. On arrival the
magistrate; fearing she might cause
trouble, had her forcibly removed
outside the crowd until all was over,
when she ran back to the bleeding
headless body Of her poor boy and
again took up. her waiting.

The difficulty diver experiences in:
lifting weights beneath the water is
partly overcome by new Italian in

adopted by that government. The
mechanism is diving suit. the ar
tiflcial arms of which are worked from
the inside by the wearer. The lever
age thus secured enables the diver to
lift objects heavier than he could
otherwise handle. In addition to this
Improvement over the old method, a

What the Red. Coral liz.

The red coral that is used for neck
laces is a horny axis which supports
a number of soft-bodied, coral-like
animals, or polyps. the entire struc.
ture bearing a strong resemblance
to a small shrub. The fishermen,
after they have brought this shrub
like colony to the surface clean the
soft animal matter away, preserving
the red core. or axis, which is sold
as jewelry. Although red coral con-
tains some lime. it is largely COM
posed of substance akin to horn and;
like horn, it takes a fine polish.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Currency leg
islation was the chief topic before the
senate yesterday. For nearly three
hours Senator Robert L. Owen Of
Oklahoma spoke on the Aldrich bill,
claiming that he had. through former
Senator Jones Of Arkansas In 1900,
proposed legislation somewhat similar
to the bill under consideration, but
with the essential differences which
he declared would have prevented the
recent panic had it been enacted into
law.
General debate on the army appro.
priation bill in the house Of repre-.
sentatives yesterday again furnished
opportunity for free expression Of
opinion In the issues of the day.
The seven hours allowed for general
debate on the bill will expire to-day,
when the measure will be read for
amendment.

A recent Associated Press dispatch
gives the latest news of the financial
condition at Copenhagen at the pres.

THE closing of the Copenhagen
Real Estate bank has caused excite
ment among the small depositors in the

ish financial market and foreign credit.
The minister of finance announced that
he would guarantee all the depositors
and other creditors of the threatened
banks up to the amount of 100000
kroner (>2,5O0.0o0), If Copenhagen's
five largest banks would guarantee the
remainder. They have agreed to do
so.
Denmark has never before passed
through financial crisis equal to this
one. The excitement on the stock ex-
