OPEN SAFES IN NEW WAY
New York Burglars Burn Away Tum
biers From Strong Box With
Electricity.

New York.-A new gang OF safe
burglars has begun operations in this
city. according to the police. who are
apprehensive OF the next example OF
the burglars skill. So far this gang
whose entirely new method of open
ing a safe has convinced the police
that they are not of the old-time safe
robbers. has committed only the one
robbery.
This occurred some tine Sunday
night of Monday morning IL tailor
ing establishment in East NHoustor
street. but the police kept it secret VI
70 this time. Instead Of blowing oper
the safe. the thieves burned away the
tumblers with electricity, cuttins
through them as cleanly as though tbs
work had been done with spiral saw
The burglars got away with $500 il
cash and jewelry worth $500. bu

$4,000 and $4,000 worth Of jewelr,
showed that the thieves had been a
work on this when apparently the,

Wanted to Know the cuIprlt.

The following story was told recent
ly by Austin Haines to a party OF
friends he entertained at luncheon:
Down In q little Florida town two
negro families live in shanties about
a stones throw apart. They obtain
their drinking water from shallow
open well located midway between the
two houses A fence which separates
the two yards Is built up to the well
on both sides. Every evening after
her days work is done, 1t is the GUS
tom Of one OF the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and go to the well for
water. One day the owner Of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where 1t originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for It. Walk
ing hurriedly along the beaten path,
she plunged into the shallow well with
a splash. Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance, and as she climb
ed out and spied the fence ten feet
away she Indignantly exclaimed:
Now, who done moved dat wellT

OLD CONVICT SHIP.
British Hulk Success Used Il
Confine Prisoners.
Crude Old Craft Was Jail During Mad
Rush That Followed the DIscov-
cry Of Australian Gold Fields
-ls on Way to America.

Boston.-The liner Laconia on her
last arrival at the port Of Boston re-
ported exchanging wireless messages
with the British convict hulk Success
This indicates that what has been
termed the most remarkable ship
that has visited England since the
days of the slave trade" is bound for
American ports, presumably Boston or
New York, on an exhibition cruise
similar to that made in British waters
during the past sixteen years.
The Success sailed from Australia
on its long exhibition cruise in 1895
She has dropped anchor at practically
every port of England. The vessel

strange. fiction-like history, and con-
tains collection of relics of the
bushranging days of Australia. At
each port attendants explain the ex-
hibits and descriptive lectures are CIV
en- on the various phases. of convict
life.
Ghe history of the Success as a
convict ship dates back to the mad
rush in search of wealth that fol-
lowed the discovery of the Australian
goldfields in 1851. Port Williamstown,
nine miles distant from Melbourne,
was filed with every variety Of craft
bearing immigrants. One day, looming

with the number of felons and miscre-
ants who infested the district.
At last the suggestion was made
that some Of the vessels then lying at
anchor in the bay, deserted by cap
tains and crews, who had all joined in
the headlong rush for the "diggings."
should be utilized as prison hulks.
Five fullrigged vessels, among them
the Success, were selected OF these
yellow frigates," as they were called.
the Success was oficially regarded
as the flagship of the felon feet. She
was known as the awful dark cell

were lodged a company Of close
cropped villains, the very scum of all
the lawless men concentrated in that
district.
The Success was a convict ship lln-
I'll 1857. when the terrible cruelties OF
the system aroused the English PEG
ple to action. She was removed from
Williamstown to Sandridge in 1857,
and from 1860 to 1868 was used as a
"woman's prison" The following year
the ship was used as a sort OF re-
formatory forboys.
Late in 1890 the Success first APP
peared before the public as a ship
on show. Her general structure is
well worthy of description.
The ships external appearance is
particularly striking in these days OF
ocean greyhounds. Her square-cut
stern and quarter galleries stamp her
at once with the hallmark Of an
tiouity. and her bluff bow shows that
she could never have distinguished
herself for a high rate of speed.
Her tonnage may be taken at $50
