Did Detective Work.

A. s. L. Doughty, on Wednesday, re-
turned from Maine. where he had been
looking after lumber, and where he made
large purchase. Mr.. Doughty has a cot
tage at Monmouth, In that state, and as he
was near the place he thought he would
run out and take a look at it. When he
arrived he discovered that the cottage,
together with others near it. had been
entered by burglars. Mr.. Doughty at
once began Investigations and in CONVEX
sation with the railroad agent found that
two men had been seen in the vicinity.
He said he remembered that they had caps
on, and on the front of them were badges
which the agent remembered to be like
those which had been worn by two boys.
On this information Mr.. Doughty sent for
detective and then got busy.
Following the railroad line 1t was found
that the two suspects had alighted at a
station, that they had the badges on their
caps, and had bundles with them. The
Monmouth station agent was called to the
spot and 1t was decided to 60 after the
fellows. The detective was armed with a
gun. and. attired as a sportsman, came up
with the two men, and assuming they were
on a cunning trip, inquired what luck
they had. While talking the rest of the
men came up, and covering the suspects
with guns, took them into custody. In
their possession were goods that were soon
identified by Mr.. Doughty as his property.
One of the men had some of the formers
clothing on. There was not much of great
value in the house, but the thieves had
taken whatever could be slowed away in
pockets and made up into bundles. In
addition to these goods there was found
some property which it was afterwards
discovered had been taken from cottages
several miles above Monmouth and In
another county. The thieves were taken
before justice and admitted their gull
and were held to await the next grand
Jury, and the probability is that they will
have some time ahead In prison awaiting
them, as two counties will want them.

STEERS SHIP BY SIXTH SENSE
Norwegian, BlIndfolded, Puzzles sci'
entlsts In the Harbor at
Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, Denmark. Emil
Knudsen, a Norwegian who says he
possesses a sixth sense, blindfoided
and under the watch of a dozen scien-
lists steered steamer like skilled
pilot through the intricate lanes of
Copenhagen Harbor. Not once did the
vessel deviate from a true course in
the channels, and in addition Knud-
sen swung the steamer clear of other
craft.
Knudsen is SO years old. He came
here a month ago from Christiana,
and at once became an object of in
terest to scientists. He was put
through many experiments by Profess
sor Friedenreich, one of the leading
nerve specialists in Europe, and as
result the professor suggested the
trip in the harbor. Knudsen said he
could guide himself anywhere with
out using his eyes, and a steamer was
chartered to put him to a supreme
test. Knudsen had no knowledge Of
the harbor. He requested that per-
son knowing the channels should hold
two finger tips against the sides Of
his head. Professor Friedenreieh
consented to this, and himself pressed
two finger tips against Knudsen's
temples.
The man handled the wheel without
a sign of nervousness or uncertainty.
1t was impossible for him to see, yet
he took more than a dozen sharp cor
ners and followed a zigzag course
throughout. All the scientists who
witnessed the demonstration said that
Knudsen possesses a mysterious pow
er that actually may be sixth sense

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Mr. and Mrs.
James Kelley Of Pine Plains, sixteen
miles from this city, were put in the
county Jail, charged with having
abused Charles Williams, seven years
old, who had been "farmed out" to
them by the Hope Farm, of Verbank.
Dutchess County. Young Williams
was taken to Vassar Hospital, greatly
emaciated and suffering from beat
ings and starvation.
Justice Rockefeller, of Pine Plains,
filed affidavits of Pine Plains resi-
dents which state that medical aid
was refused the boy and that he was
terribly beaten.
II have seen little Charles Williams
eat out of the dog pan which sits out
side the kitchen door," said George
Shears in his affidavit, "and l heard
Kelley say he wished the boy would
die, SO he could get the insurance on
his life."
The Rev. Thomas Hazard told how
the boys body was covered with
scars and marks, and when found by
him the lad could hardly talk.

CAT SUCKS OUT BABYS LIFE
Child's Mother Finds the Animal on
Bed with Dead infant Sew
erai Other Cases,

eral Other Cases.
Brooklyn, N. Y.-While the child's
mother was sleeping near by. a large
black cat sucked out the life Of Au-
gustus Sanders, weeks old, in a fiat
in No. 173 Scholes street. When the
mother, Mrs. James Sanders, awoke
she saw the cat sitting on the child's
breast. Greatly frightened, she used
broom to drive the animal away.
The cat leaped from the bed and was
forced into the kitchen. There it
turned on the woman and sprang on
her shoulder. Mrs. Sanders threw it
to the floor and, using the broom,
drove the enraged animal out OF the
kitchen window.
When she fastened back to her
baby Mrs. Sanders observed the in
fant's hands were cold. She shouted
for help, and other women tenants
rushed in. One of them called a po-
liceman, who sent for an ambulance.
DR.. Driscoll came from St. GATHERINGS
Hospital, and as soon as he looked at
the child pronounced him dead An
autopsy was performed to determine
definitely the cause of death. Mrs.
Sanders was told the cat probably
had sucked the child's breath away,
thereby causing death from suffoca-
ton. Several cases of the same sort
are on record.

DEAD JERSEY DEVIL
FOUND IN WOODS
Body of Strange Animal Explains
Puzzling footprints Left
in the Snow
SENT TO The STATE MUSEUM
The Spinal Column Extends Six
Inches Behind junction with Hind
of the Tail of a Kangaroo.

Burlington, N. J.-If anybody ever
doubted that a Jersey devil left it's
strange and puzzling footprints in
the snow of this and adjoining States
last winter, proof was produced here
that the scare was never due to high
balls. There is on exhibit in this city
the carcass of the Queerest animal
ever seen about here, a beast not on
the schedule of any natural history
ever read by any one of this section.
The animals body, still in good con-
dition, as though it had been dead
only short while. was found by Nor
ris Cabinsky Of this city, and Charles
Malsbury Of Kinkora, in the woods
near Kinkora, and was brought to this
city, where hundreds have seen and
marvelled. Photographs have been
made of the beast and Prof. Henry
Morse, curator Of the State Museum,
will be asked to give the animal
name and place 1t where it belongs
II he is able to do so.
The boys thought at first they had
come upon the carcass Of big wild
cat, but 1t looked so queer to them
that they decided to carry 1t into town.
The body of the animal is about
twenty inches long and thin. The
spinal column extends six inches be-
hind the junction with the hind legs
like the tail Of a kangaroo, but this
again is tipped with nine inches OF
tail like a squirrels, but OF reddish
brown fur. The strangest feature Of
all and that which would seem to
convict it Of last winters famous
footprints, is found In the fore legs
and feet. The legs are fifteen inches
long, consisting Of four joints and
socketed to these are the feet. which
take the form OF a broad, fiat bone
with distinct heel. The foot bones
are two and half inches long and
over an inch broad In a solid piece.
II the animal travelled by leaps
bending the two fore feet down to-
gether he would land after each long
spring with the feet forming the puz.
zling effect Of the footprints in the
snow last winter. The rear feet
would explain the finding of "cat"
prints near the hoof marks. What
looks like the framework of a pair Of
short wings rises from the animals
back, just above its short hind legs.
The big mouth Is set with sharp
teeth three quarters of an inch long.
while the head Is adorned with long,
lance-like ears and whiskers four
inches long.

Combs as a sucking at the age OF
thirty days and weighing twenty-six
pounds. In two weeks it weighed for.
ty-one pounds, gain of pound a

PARIS SHOW BESIDE new YORK.

Washington, D. C.-Charies
E. Magoon, former Provisional
Governor Of Cuba, who is home
from Europe, found Paris dis
tresgingly tame.
"The night life of Paris is
that Of a remote village COM
pared with the night life Of
New York." said he. "By mid
night the Place de L'Opera and
Rue de la Pals are completely
deserted and as quiet as a
graveyard. Why, the doors OF
my hotel were closed at IL
O'Clock. If you look for the
Broadway night to be eclipsed
In Paris you are doomed to
great disappointment"
Mr.. Magoon came away con-
vinced that the French, even in
Paris, are much more given to
the simple life than is general
ly supposed.

Victoria, B. C.-Further details of
the massacres in New Britain re-
ceived by the steamer Mariana are to
the effect that Captain Lindsay, of the
ketch Rabaul, and ten Of his crew
were murdered and burned. The trad
ing vessel was looted and also burned
Captain Lindsay, owner and master
of the Rabaul, was off the east coast
of New Britain, about two hundred
miles from Herbertshone, recruiting
laborers About sundown, when he
anchored his ship for the night, a
swarm of native canoes came off, and
the blacks asked that he come ashore,
as plenty of men were ready to sign
as laborers. Captain Lindsay went
on land and was escorted to big ma
tive house, where about hundred
blacks were gathered.
AS he stepped in he was struck
down from behind with a spear, and
the blacks sprang upon him with
knives. He fell bleeding from scores
of wounds and was hacked to death.
The body was then dragged out to the
beach and burned. The flotilla OF
canoes then went of to the Rabaul
and blacks swarmed aboard. One
after another the ten men Of the crew
were slaughtered. Then, while they
lay, some dead. some mortally wound
ed on the deck, raid was made on
the stores and kerosene poured over
the deck and in the holds, making the
ship a funeral pyre for the murdered
men. Ship and victims were com
pletely destroyed,
