The Language She Knew.

Two city mission workers passing
through the foreign settlement in the
McKees Rocks district met reporter
and a newspaper photographer. Near
by was a house the squalor OF which
was striking. 1t was determined To
take a picture of the place. The mis-
tress Of the house was standing in the
doorway and when she saw the pho
tographer set his camera she ran in
slamming the door after her. The ell
der missionary, who speaks dozen
different languages and dialects, vol
unteered to coax the woman to stand
for photograph.
When he raped on the door she
came out and he started to address
her. He began in Polish, but sne
shook her head. He then tried IN
succession Magyar, Lithuanian, Rus
sian, Bohemian, Hebrew, Greek, French,
German and others, but 1t was OF no
use; the woman kept shaking her head
that she did not understand.
1T is no use," he said to the three
standing at the gate. Il have ex-
hausted all my languages, but she does
not understand any of them"
"PI try her." said the other mission
ary, and he went to the woman. In
a moment she was laughing and nod
ding her head that it was all right.
When the picture had been taken
the missionary who had failed asked
him in what language he had spoken
to her.
English" was the reply.-Pittsburg

He had not proceeded far when he
saw an employe of the Philadelphia

Joshua with much thought, for he

for a minute or two and then went

DETECTING CRIMINALS.
Scotland Yard Expert Says There A,

Scotland Yard Expert Says There Are
Few First Class Professionals.
Sir Robert Anderson, for many
years chief criminal expert in Great
Britain and until a few years ago in
charge of London's Scotland Yard, de-
clares that when it comes to special
feats, such as safe breaking, the men
competent for the task are SO few
that some police officers could proba-
bly, write down the names of them all
from memory.
In taking charge of the criminal
Investigation department in 1887" he
writes in the Strand, 81 was no novice
in matters relating to criminals and
crime. Notwithstanding all this, to
my surprise found myself credited
with vast amount Of ignorance by
one Of my principal subordinates.
when any notable crime occurred
and I began to investigate 1t, la
Sherlock Holmes, he used to listen to
me in the way many people listen to
sermons in church, and at the con-
clusion he would stolidly announce
that the crime was the work Of So
and-lo, naming one Of his stock he
|roes-'Old Carr 'Wirth,' Sausage
'Shrimps' or Quiet Joe-and 1 soon
found that my prosaic subordinate
was right. Great crimes are the work
Of great criminals.
There is nothing spontaneous and
occasional about the crimes of pro-
fessionals.' Take the case Of a lad
der larceny for example. While the
family is at dinner the house is enter
ed by means Of ladder placed against
a bedroom window, all outer doors
and ground floor windows having
been fastened from outside by screws
or wire or rope. Wires are stretched
across the lawn to battle pursuit in
case the thieves are discovered.
"A case Of this kind occurred some
years ago at a country house in Chesh-
ire. The next day brought the chief
constable of the county to Scotland
Yard. Such a crime, he said, was be-
yond the capacity of provincial prac-
titioners, and he expected us to find
the delinquents among the criminals
on our list at Scotland Yard.
HE gave me vague description
of two strangers who had been seen
near the house the day before. An
hour or two later I handed him three
photographs. Two Of these were
promptly identified as the men who
had come under local observation, and
arrest and conviction followed. They
were we'll known ladder thieves
"Once Dr. Max Nordau called upon
me. put his type theory to the
test l took a couple of photographs,
and covering all but the face Of each
told him that one was an eminent
public man and the other a notorious
criminal I challenged him to say
which was the type, but he evaded
the test.
"One was Raymond, alias Wirth-
one of the most able criminals Of my
time; the other was DR.. Temple,
Archbishop Of Canterbury, and If any
thing the formers countenance was
more replete with strength and be-
nevolence than the latter's. 1t was
Raymond who stole the famous
Gainsborough picture, for which Mr..
Agnew had recently paid the record
price Of 100000"
