New Haven Police Send Message for His Deten
 tion Just Too Late

Donald T. Martin, identified by rail- road detectives as Skip Martin a pro- fessional pickpocket, late yesterday gained his liberty after 24 hours in police headquarters, just in time to escape a message calling for his fur ther detention for the New Haven po- lice.
 During the afternoon stunningly gowned young woman representing herself as his wife, called to see him, spraining her ankle as she hastened in her steps to the entrance of the po- lice building. She visited Martin for several hours, and her tears and Mar tins repeated demands for his liberty led the police, in view of lack of evil dence against the prisoner to turn him loose.
 Ten minutes later a telephone mes sage from the New Haven police brought the information that they had a warrant for Martin for picking pock- cts on the trains near that city. Though a hurried search was made for Martin and his fascinating com panior, they had vanished
 Martin obtained permission to send a telegram to his mother, and address ed one 10 Lizzie Martin, 454 W. 42d street" when arrested Tuesday after noon.

TWO INFANTS WHO
 CAME VIA HALLEYS
The Stork Must Look to It's Laurels or it Will Fall
 from It's Proud Position

That bird of fable. the stork. that for generations has been credited with taking a prominent part in the propa- gation of the human race. must look to it's laurels. Halley's comet is sup planting it in popular fancy as the carrier of tiny mites of humanity.
 Through the record of vital statistics appearing in the office of the town clerk today, it became known that the comet has the credit for at least two birds in Bridgeport during the last month.
 Evelyn Haley Briernan made her debut in mundane society on May IT. She is the daughter of August and Annie Briernan of 564 Broad street. Her parents are justly proud of her.
 Another infant who reached Bridge port via Halley's limited is Haley Francis Clancy, the son of Fireman James Patrick Clancy and Elizabeth Veronica Clancy. They live at 152 Grove street. Fireman Clancy is at tached to No. Truck Co. in Norman street Haley Glancy's name was added to among those present. on May g.
 If the two enjoy a little more than the scriptural allotment of life. they will welcome the visit of Halley's comet to this vicinity about 75 years hence.

DISTINGUISHED
 GERMAN GUEST
Counsellor Klibanski Thinks Bridgeport Girls Most
 Beautiful He Has Seen

Herman Klibanski, a distinguished authority on international law of Ber- lin. honored by his emperor and ac- claimed by his fellow legal practition- CTS as not only profoundly learned but splendidly endowed with good fellow ship, is in Bridgeport
 Attorney Klibanski-well call him attorney because it is easier than to use his long string of German titles has more money than he can count. He is a bachelor. He's a fine looking fellow, nearly 6 feet tall, well put up, a capital dresser, and swings cane just as airily as a soldier on a days outing. Now comes the important part. He says Bridgeport girls are the most charming he has ever seen.
 Mrs. I. B. Kleban, the wife of the president of the Weld Mfg. Co.,, was authorized to tell the Farmer report CT who was sent in pursuit of the dis tinguished visitor today, that Attor- ney Klibanski is completely bewilder- ed by the beauties of the girls he has encountered on the streets of our fair city.
 Today he and MT. Kleban did the town. The latter is his nephew, and with his wide acquaintance among the city officials, merchants and profes- s1ona1 men, he introduced the versa tile Berlin gentleman to so many that
 
 and returned to the Kleban home in Coleman street for lunch and a rest before starting back to the city hall to meet Mayor Buckingham.
 MT. Klibanski was two years given signal honors by his emperor for his services in the solution of interna- tional law problems, and was given life tenure post in the emperor's ser vice, a position, MT. Kleban says, that corresponds to our U. $. attorney gen eral. He takes a month a year for travel, but never before had he cross ed the Atlantic until he arrived here a week ago yesterday in the Princess Alice. He has been doing New York for week. Yesterday he came here, and registered at the Stratfield. This morning he took his nephew by sur prise. They had not met for years, but they soon made up for lost time.
 This morning the pair went to the city court, where they met Deputy Judge Wilder, Prosecuting Attorney Delaney, Assistant Clerk John P. Gray, Court Officers F'innegan and Ryan and Watched the dispensing of justice to dozen petty offenders.
 Then they visited police headquar- ters then the city hail. At the latter place they expected to visit the Mayor, but he was not in his office on their arrival, and they arranged an appoint ment for this afternoon.
 The Bridgeport girls are the most beautiful I ever saw" said Attorney Klibanski to Mrs. Kleban as he sat at luncheon with MT. and Mrs Kle- ban.
 "Im afraid" ventured Mrs. Kleban to the reporter if you put that in the paper, all my unmarried girl friends will come crowding into our house, Yet she confessed she wouldn't stand in the way of the happiness of any Bridgeport girl, and she said that Uncle Herman would make fine catch for anyone.

Fate of the Great Aux.

The great auk, d northern diving bird, used to exist in the arctic regions also. Now, this splendid bird was se- riously handicapped by the fact that 1t laid only one egg in a season and so could not afford to be slaughtered at all But it was hunted and shot without discrimination. A few sur viving hundreds took refuge on a des- olate rock far out to sea. but one fatal day a vessel contrived to land on this rock, and the crew shot nearly the en- tire rookery. Finally nature herself rose up. There was a cataclysm, the rock sank into the sea, and that was the last of the great auk.

AN ARCTIC CAMP.
Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
 Absolutely Snow Proof

Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
 Absolutely Snow Proof.
 "A mans first night in a canvas tent in the arctic is likely to be rather wakeful," says Commander Peary in Hampton's 'sTht ice makes mysteri- ous noises, the dogs bark and fight out side the tent, where they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one white man usually occupy small tent and the oil stove is left burning all night the air, notwithstanding the cold, is not overpure, and sometimes the Eski- mos begin chanting to the spirits of their ancestors in the middle of the night. Sometimes, too, the new mans nerves are tried by hearing wolves howl in the distance.
 "The tents are specially made. They are of lightweight canvas, and the floor of the tent is sewed directly into 1t. The fly is sewed up, a circular opening in it just large enough to ad- init a man, and that opening fitted with a. circular flap, which is closed by a drawstring, making the tent abso- lutely snow proof An ordinary tent when the snow is flying would be filled in no time.
 '.sThe tent is pyramidal, with one pole in the center, and the edges are usual ly held down by the sledge runners or by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The men sleep on the floor in their clothes with musk OK skin or couple of deerskins wrapped around them.
 ''The kitchen box for our sledge journeys is simply a wooden box con- taining two double burner oil stoves with four inch wicks. The two cook ing pots are the bottoms of five gallon coal oil tins fitted with covers. When packed they are turned bottom side up over each stove, and the hinged cover of the wooden box is closed.
 "On reaching camp, whether tent or snow igloo. the kitchen box is set down inside. The top of the box is turned up and keeps the heat of the stove from melting the wall of the igloo or burning the tent. The hinged front of the box is turned down and forms table. The two cooking pots are filled with pounded ice and put on the stove. When the ice melts one pot is used for tea and the other may be used to warm beans or to boil meat if there is any.
 "Each man has quart cup for tea and a hunting knife which serves many purposes. He does not carry fork, and one teaspoon is considered quite enough for party of four. Each man helps himself from the pot-sticks in his knife and fishes out piece of meat
 '"The theory of field work is that there shall be two meals a day, one in the morning and one at night As the days grow short the meals are talk en before light and after dark, leaving the period of light entirely for work. Sometimes it is necessary to travel twenty-four hours without stopping for food"

RUSSIAN AUDACITY.
The Coup That Made Persia a Finan-
 cial VassaI of the Bear.


 cial vassaI of the Bear.
 In 1892 the Imperial Bank of Persia, a British institution. lent the Persian government S2.5OO,OOO on the security of the customs receipts of the gulf ports. In 1895 Persia, finding herself again hard Gp. desired to borrow S6.- 100000 more from the same source and on the same ample security. But before the British bankers would grant the additional loan they must needs Quibble and procrastinate and insist on still further conditions Finally, how ever. SG.250.O0O of Persian bonds were underwritten in London. Russia, hear ing of the affair at the eleventh hour and fifty ninth minute, promptly offer ed Persia much larger loan on much better terms. and she did no haggling either. Persia. finding herself in the embarrassing position of having two the same time and not daring to of fend either of them, thought to es- cape from the predicament by not bor- rowing at all
 But so consistently and skillfully did Russia urge her suit that in 1900 Per sia tinnidly yielded to the ardent woo ing and acknowledged her submission by accepting from Russia loan of S11 ,S15,0 600 for seventy-fve years, at the same time agreeing that all pre- vious loans should be paid off at once and no more incurred until this one was discharged without the permission of the Russian Banque Desprets de Perse. Within less than month, therefore, 5,0o0O00 rubles (S2,500 ,OO0) were remitted to London to pay off the British loan of 1892, thereby free ing Persia from any British financial control. There has been no more au- dacious and successful stroke of diplo- macy in modern times, for by it Persia became a financial vassal of the bear -Everybody's Magazine

Inc Cobra of India.

Among the true cobras of India the naja is found all over India and Ceylon, Burma, the Andaman islands. southern China and the Malay penin- sula and archipelago. It ascends the Himilayas to an altitude of 5000 feet. It extends also over Afghanistan and through Persia to the eastern shore of the Caspian. 1t may attain a length of nearly seven and half feet, but it is usually not more than a little over five and half feet long. Najas vary much in color and markings, but have generally the spectacle mark on the back of the neck, which they always distend before making an attack.

Fish In Former Times.

Men of former ages, unless they lived near the sea or river. had great diffi- culties ill gratifying their taste for fish. The great houses had their fish ponds or stews, but sea fish, such as cod, Dream, sturgeon. herring and sprats, were salted. and the excessive con- sumption of highly salted fish in the middle ages is said to have produced leprosy. Fish was also baked in pies to enable it to be, carried for great distances.
