TRAPPED BY TEETH PRINTS.
Pittsburgh Burglar Identified by the
Marks He left in Cheese.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 26.-The
world famous police of Paris have
their Bertillion system; New York's
Finest have their finger-print sys-
tenn, but the police of Pittsburgh
have gone all thief catchcrs one bet
ter by the successful use of their
own "teeth-mark" system. BY it's
means they have succeeded, they
say, in fastening the guilt on burg
lar who for several weeks has been
engaged in the gentle pastime OF ab-
stracting the silvefware of the city's
well-to-do residents.
And it all comes from the fact
that the burglar when he was ran
sacking a house a week ago "bit"
the cheese and in biting it he left
marks of a large irregular set of
teeth.

Tybee in Danger Declares Engineer

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 26.-Colonel
Dan C. Kingman, United States en-
gineer for the Savannah district, has
recommended that an off shore
breakwater be constructed around
the northern end of Tybee Island.
The present breakwater is made
quate and it is not strong enough to
withstand the attacks of heavy seas.
1t is gradually being destroyed and
Colonel Kingman considers it nee
essary that a new breakwater be
built in the near future. Even now
during stormy weather the sea rush
es over the breakwater, floods the
parade ground at Fort Screven. COL
onel Kingman says the northern end
of the island is now in danger, be-
cause the breakwater is small and
weakly constructed.
In his recommendations Colonel
Kingman has sounded a note of
warning, declaring it would not sur
prise him for the sea to come in so
far as to damage the defenses.

RAILROADS. PETITION GRANTED
South Carolina Lines Affected by
Order of /. C.. G..

Washington, Feb. 26.-An order
has been issued by the Interstate
commerce commission granting the
petition of the Seaboard Air Line,
Union and Glenn Springs, Columbia.
Newberry and Laurens, Charleston
and Western Carolina, Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio, Raleigh and
Charleston and other railroads for
authority to establish class and COM
modify rates between Augusta and
Savannah, Ca, and points in South
Carolina; Wilmington and Charlotte,
N. c., and points in South Carolina,
on Interstate commerce traffic high
er than rates cOncurrently in effect
from and between more distant
points.
1t has long been' the custom to
make rates between Savannah and
South Carolina points, and Whining
ton and South Carolina points the
same as between Charleston and
South Carolina points. In cases
where the rate has not been exactly
the same there has been maintained
certain relation as between these
three ports and South Carolina
points. The South Carolina railroad
commission recently adopted new
schedule of Intra-State rates, the
majority of them being reductions.
Petitioners rails do not reach Char
lesion and in some cases they have
to carry freight rates. outside of the
State of South Carolina to reach
points of destination within the
State. They desire to participate in
rates from and to Charleston and the
commerce commission acknowledges
the force of their argument.

Largest Horse in the World.

New York, Feb. 26.-What is de-
clared to be the worlds largest horse
is now owned by the Mack Brothers

equal. No other horse could be
found that did not object to being
made an object of ridicule by COM
parison with Jumbo" so the big
fellow works in shafts by his lone
some.
Jumbo" is a Clydesdale, and is
twenty and a half hands in height,
or six feet and ten inches from hoof
to shoulder. His weight is 2,43O
pounds. He is five years old and has
spent most of his life at Tappan, N.
Y, but it was not until he was
brought to the metropolis short
time ago that he acquired the fame
and. publicity that are his by right.
His stable mate is two-year-old
pony that stands seventeen inches in
height, and the illy-assorted pair are
great friends. Because of his will
ingness to pull heavy loads, alone
and unaided, Jumbo gets bushel
of grain a day in addition to a. lib
eral amount of hay. He is exceed
ingly gentle and his owners say he
is the equal in pulling capacity OF
any other two horses in their stables.

Refused to Play for Drunken Boys

Eason, Elijah and John Poole, Lon
ME Ealter and Frank Mason have
been jointly indicted by the Toombs
county grand jury charged with re-
sponsibility for the death of Miss
Maggie Newsome, a young school
teacher at English Eddy, who was
killed, it is alleged, because she re-
fused to return to the school house
and make music for the young men,
who were intoxicated.

lowed the young woman when she
left the school house, and upon her
refusal to return at their demand
and make music for them, they at
tackled her, leaving her so badly in
jured in the road that her death re-
suited.

Police Unable to Check Robberies.

New York, Feb. 26.-The continu-
alton of the epidemic of robberies
and holdups in this city was ac-
companied by reports to-day that
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty's detectives had closed a net
around the perpetrators of the sen
sational $4,000 robbery and that
arrests would be made in 4S hours.
The five men who held up the taxi
cab, occupied by two bank messen-
gers, in the heart of the financial dis
trict, have now been at large TEN
days.
Two additional holdups to the long
list occurred to-day whose victims
were. both blackjacked. William c..
Burke, a piano tuner, was set upon
by three men in the Bronx early this
morning, knocked unconscious and
robbed of SIS. James Powers, while
passing though a small East Side
park, met a similar fate from lone
highwayman, who however, was
frightened away before he secured
Bowers's money.
In seeking clues to the identity Of
the robbers who yesterday killed
Walter Meseritz in his Brooklyn hab-
erdashery store and rifled his cash
drawer, the police tonight detained
Joseph Cassidy, who, they said, ad-
mits pawning two safety razors, iden-
titled as part of the loot taken. No
formal charge, however, was made
against the man, friend of whom is
being sought.
Late tonight the police arrested in
| the Meseritz case Frank Redmond, a
former United States soldier, and
charged both him and Cassidy with
murder and burglary. According to
the police Cassidy accused Redmond
also of pawning articles taken from
the haberdashery shop but this Red
mond, whose brother is we'll to do
lawyer, and with whom he lives in a.
comfortable home in South Brooklyn,
stoutly denies.

farm, the girl with bullet wound
on the top of the head and the farm
er with a wound on the top of his
head, indicating he had been struck

instrument. No clew was left to
indicate the identity of the slayer of
the dead man. The tragedy occurred

A Word to the Girls.

Although housekeeping and home
making are the most important of all
things, yet they are sought after the
very least. Girls get married who do
not know how to make a loaf OF
bread or boil a potato, expecting
somehow that these things will take
care of themselves, and they can live
happy with a man in his ignorance,
knowing too that the heart and stom-
ach of man are so friendly that they
cannot be separated. Ignorance can
not be made bliss in housekeeping,
and there is no surer way to lose the
respect of a husband than to spoil
his dinner. He cannot thrive long on
purely a love diet.
