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 -e|iil<l.’ That’s a sure rigs myself,” be out.

DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA, MARCH 6 1902- FLOODS IN THE EAST WROUGHTDISASTER Soores of Lives Lost and Dam age of Millions. 10,000 OPERATIVES ARE IDLE Many Mills Have Been Forced to Close Down, and it May Be Many Weeks Before They Can Resume Work- Many Daring Rescues. 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. WRECK ON L. AND N. Two Freights Collide—One Man Kill ed, Three injured.

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.

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 ing ;Har,vard plates of the older en graved’ Varieties' unless thete is unmis takable evi'denee .that they came hon estly ;.into. the possession as the person who offers them. ’ - LAW POINTS. ...

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.
