A QUEER BUSINESS.
Making l Up 3eggar« So That They
Will Excite Public Sympathy.
“How beggars are made” might be
made the subject of a singularly inter
esting article. And it would refer not
to the unkind cuts of fortune, but to
the appliances whereby a certain deft
and none too scrupulous manufacturer
equips men and women who, for pur
poses of their own, wish to be consid
ered lame, halt or blind. That It Is
easier to be crippled than to work is
the maxim upon which this particular
trade is established.
“I’m what is called a street ’sham
fakir,’ ” said one of these dealers in
disguises recently. “I fake up most of
the sham disabled mill operatives, crip
pled sailors, etc.., and charge ’em a
small fee. If it’s a woman with a tale
that her busband beats her, I paint her
a black eye and put her arm in a sling.
Say it’s a man on a ‘blind’ lay. Well,
I paint some scars on bis face to imi
tate the marks of a lead explosion and
give him a green eye shade and a
‘blind’ card.
“If a man’s really maimed, it makes
it easier. Suppose he’s been run over
and had his leg off. 1 paint a picture
of a burning bouse and him jumping
out of a top window with a child in his
arms and a yarn under it, ‘Kind
through rescuing

have to kuop dark, for the pol'oe are
very down dn my sort. This hollbw
wooden cap with an iron book tits over
your head, and here’s a clubfoot boot
and yonder a pair for both feet.
"A queer laislness? You’d say so if
you knew the jobs I’m asked to do
sometimes. Only yesterday a woman
wanted vitriol scars made on her face

They Want Perry To Run.
Buford, Ga., March 4. —Many voters
in this section of the county are urg
ing Hob. J, A. Perry, of Uawrence
▼lll6, to stand for re-election to the

served in the last legislature with dis
tinction, being the youngest member
of that body save one. If Mr. Perry
should decide to enter the race he will
receive a handsome vote in this part
of the county.

Tifton, Ga., March I.—Tifton’s po

who was acting us agent for another,

their fines and are working out sen

New York, March 4.—Flood condi
tions in the east are reported rapidly
improving, although affairs In the Wy
oming valley and northeastern Penn
sylvania generally and along the Hud
son, near Albany, are still in bad
shape.
Dispatches from Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
show that more than a score of lives
were lost and $5,000,000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed in northeastern
Pennsylvania. The danger is over, but
the full extent of the damage is yet to
be seen. Eighteen thousand homeless
persons in the Wyoming valley are
anxiously watching the backward
course of the waters.
The water has receded in Paterson,
N. J., so that the danger there practi
cally is over, but there were many dar
ing rescues of persons who had stayed
■ in the flooded houses.
So many mills were damaged that
10,000 operatives are thrown out of
work for an indefinite time.
In Passaic six men are reported to
have been carried down with a bridge,
which was washed away. The current
was so swift that it was impossible to
rescue them.
Cities and towns in almost all sec
tions of New York and in New Eng-’
land states suffered heavy damage to
property and delayed trains were re
ported.
Not for many years have the mails
reaching New Yorfcbeen so delayed as
during the last three and a half days.

FAD BECAME A MANIA.
Tempted by Harvard Book Platea, a
I Doctor Turned-Thief.
| It would seem from the experience
of the Harvard college, library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and expen
sive mania. A few years ago the Har
vard library found that the engraved
labels which it pastes on the inside of
i the covers of Its books as marks of its
ownership were disappearing from
, some of the less used volumes. The
older book plates, it appears, are high
-1 ly prized by collectors, and some of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well as for interesting
associations with early book collect
ing in this country. These were natu
rally the special prey of the thief.
Detectives took the. matter in hand,
and the offender was discovered with
full evidence of his? guilt; upon him.
He confessed to stealing the library’s
property and to having it-in his pos
session. By the time, the matter reach
[ ed the courts the greater part of the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons to whom he had sold or given
them, and, as the had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put, the college consented to leave
the matter of sentence with the court,
i which imposed a fine of <slso on one
count and put the other (fount on file,
■ to bq brought up again late? if it should
be desirable, meanwhile the
offender under SI,OOO for his fu
ture appearance if he should be want
ed- J
A striking point in the 4 case is that
the guilty man Is in no way a common
' criminal. His education the has a de
gree of doctor) and his taste seem only
■ to have made his thefts more intelli
gent and discriminating, however. He
knew the value of his peculiar booty,
and he knew how to dispose of it, his
, vqry personality being a protection to
liim in that part of his
Apparently the fad develbped to a ma
nia and that to kleptomania in his
mind.
A number of the stolen plates have
not set been traced at all, and collect
ors have been warned against accept

graved’ Varieties' unless thete is unmis
takable evi'denee .that they came hon

A case for a handwriting expert was
noticed at one of the downtown banks
the other day. A treasurer of one of
the many charitable organizations of
this city had received a check to be de
voted to that certain charity, and he
was desirous cf acknowledging it, but
could not read the signature. He took
the check to the bank on which it was
draw’n and questioned one of the clerks
as to the signature and w’as told that
it was genuine, but could not get the
' desired information. It was next tak
en to the paying teller, who also de
clared that it was gei nine, but even be
could not make out who it was and
had to consult the card catalogue.
There was not the slightest resem
blance between the signature to the
check and the real name.—New York

The “Bad” Boys.
The “bad” boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood. All they ,
want is a chance to do something.
Don’t expect healthy, active boys to!
want to be tied up in books and so
called Improving occupations continu
ally. If boys are not given good ideas
to work upon, such as they always get
in kindergartens, manual training and
other up to date schools. they are sure
to be in harmful mischief, because
boys with vim and “get there” In thdm
are bound to be busy. Give them tools
and materials to work v th; encourage
them to make sleds, cr.rts, boats and
various kinds of playthings. Don’t
ever give a “bad” boy up. Give him
something to do.

TRIPLE CRIME NEAR SAVANNAH.
Store Burglarized, Two Men Killed and •
Building Fired. t ■■
Savannah, Ga., March 8, —Robbery, .
arson and double murder were crimes
committed by unknown persons Satur
day night on the Ogeechee road, 16
miles from Savannah. The store of
Michael Schrenk was entered, the pro-,
prietor and his clerk, Jacob Carter,
were killed, the safe and cash drawer
were rifled and then the store and out
buildings were fired. Not until yester
day morning was the discovery of the
triple crime made, and then there wasM
no trace of the miscreants to be found.
Schrenk was a prosperous German,
who had a stove in the Black Ankie
district and another 4 or 5 miles'away,
which had been opened but recently.
His wife and his stepson were away
from the Ogeechee road store at the
time of the murder, being at work at
that which had been more recently es-, -
tablished. Stories of the wealth that
Schrenk had amassed had been float
ing around in that section for a Ibng
while, and it had been feared that S'.-,
murder would be committed, for there
had been an attempt made not long
since to rob the store.
Not until 5 o’clock yesterday morn
ing did neighbors roach the scene. A
search was at once instituted, but
there was naught to be gained, though
it was prosecuted most faithfully. J
Among the ashes were found
bodies of Schrenk and Carter.,
body of Schrenk lay where
| drawer bad been located, that
I ter was in the rear room. By his s.
I lay a burned Winchester rifle. • -.'-*»***
The coroner and- deputy sheriffs visj
i Ited the scene. An inquest was held,
but nothing was developed.
