A ’ It is cue thing to catch a thief and it > b another thing to hold him. During a r meeting of the chiefs of police of all the - larger cities of the United Statesand I Oanada, which occurred at Milwaukee, j there were reminiscences of remarkable f raptures and of escapes which bordered > closely upon the miraculous. ’ “The most remarkable escape from 5 prison that I can recall,’’ said William ‘ A. Pinkerton, “was that of Frank ! Steadman from the San Quentin prison. f But Til not tell yon about it, for here > is John Glass, who caught Steadman - and sent him back to San Quentin. ** - ’ Chief Glass pinched the brown im perial on his under lip reflectively for ’ a moment before he responded to the r looks of inquiry bent upon him by those , not familiar with the story. ; ’“She escape to which you refer, Pin r ketton, was made after I sent Steadman ) to San Quantin and not before. I was > not the fortunate one to get him after 1 that last wonderful break. And to tell 1 the truth, I have never taken to myself , much credit for taking him the time I . did, for it was to a considerable degree f a matter of good fortune. Yo’i see, we I were just at that time keeping' our eyes 1 open for a bank robber by the' name of > Barnes, who had gone into one w the 5 banks out there, covered the one man ’ who happened to be alone in the place , at the time, locked him up in the vault, , and then coolly walked ont of the bank and out of sight with all the funds he : could get his hands on. i “One day a man answering closely ■ the description we had of Barnes step ped off the train at Los Angeles. We : took him in tow at once, but found we did not have the bird we were after. However, we managed to hold him long enough to find out that he was i Frank Steadman, who had become no torious even at that time as a successful . Jail breaker. He had four of five escapes ■ from prison in southern Indiana credit- > ed to him, had got away from Joliet ■ and had still seven years to do At the ; Illinois prison; had also been at San ■ Quentin, and had escaped from there ’ with five years unfinished. j- “Steadman was a machinist by pro fession, and a burglar by inclination. ■ When he was sent back to San Quentin ■ to finish his time, he was pnt to'work ' with other convicts in the engine room. It was here that an "idea came into his ’ brain that for absolute daring and fear lessness was typical of the man. He had noticed that every evening at the time i the men working in the engine room were lined up” to be marched away, the machinery was stopped at exactly the same moment He had observed as well that a window leading to an adjacent roof was not far from the top of the big driving belt of the engine. From that , roof it was possible to reach the outer wall of the prison. Beyond the wall , was freedom. He had escaped so many times that his mind xeverted again and again to the window high up on the wall of the engine room. Apparently it was beyond all possibility of being | reached. No ladder was to be obtained. ; Had such a thing been even standing , in place against the wall, to break from the line and scale it with catlike ; dexterity, although the work of but a few seconds, he well knew would be futile, possibly fatal. Bullets travel fastei than legs, and the guards were not bad shots. But desperate deeds de , mand desperate means. Some minds may work with an ingenuity born of despair, but Steadman’s was of a differ ' ent caliber. His plans were the out growth of steadfast optimism. 1 „ “One day there came to him as if by inspiration the thought that the big belt might be the means of carrying him to , his goal. He found that it was impossi ' ble to count the revolutions of the driv ing wheel, but there were lacings in f the broad belt, which he was able to i distinguish as a sort of blur as it passed a given point For days and days he ' counted, and in his cell at night he spent his time in calculations. He dis covered the exact number of revolutions the wheel made per minute. He learned also by constant observation just how many tithes the belt went round after > the engine was shut down. “One evening, when the line had been formed as usual at the close of the day’s work and as the big wheel began 1 to lose its momentum, suddenly a con vict sprang from the line, leaped to the ' belt, with outstretched arms grappling ( both edges of the broad leather. He had i calculated well the strength that would , be required, for the terrific wrench did * not loosen his grasp. Outward and up- ■ ward he swung until he reached the !■ topmost point of the circumference. The ; nicety of his calculation had reaped its ‘ reward. The belt stopped. He leaped to his feet, sprang through the window and was gone before convicts or guards had recovered from their astonishment i He caught up a guard’s coat and hat, dropped from the wall and got away in the dusk of the evening. Xam inclined to believe that as a mathematical propo , sition that was about as perfect a piece | of work as any man ever accomplished." “And did he get away without re l capture?’’some one asked. “No, I am almost sorry to say, he did I not, ” answered the Los Angeles chief, “for that ought by rights to be tbe de ’ nouement of such a story, which com -1 bines so much of daring and cleverness. 1 Steadman was taken again in a short , time and put to work at his old job. r There are bars over that high window 1 above the big drive belt now. Not long - after this Steadman cut and nearly kill ed one of the other convicts and is now - serving out an additional sentence tor f attempted murder at the Folsom prison, * which is situated some 28 miles from ’ Sacramento " Chicago Inter OcStbElfe ANOTHER MYTH EXPLODED} M*ttU> Oraxaee* *f Bran** DM M*» U* la a Bureau Drawer. fag the defeat ot Franc* an arranged on I paper to his desk *o completely worked out that the German commanders had only to be supplied with copies and Sedan and Metz were the consequence* Is going th* rounds of the press with brilliant varia tions. The latest variation is that Von Moltke was awakened from a sound sleep to be told that France had declared war, that he instructed theald to go to cabinet A and take from tower M a paper mark ed schedule Z and resumed his dumber. Inasmuch ag the Prussian embassador left Paris several days before the deelaration' ot w by France and as th* order for mobilizing wmt out from Berlin while public peace was yet maintained, there was no need to break Von Moltke’* stamber to tell him what he knew in dmdight. ; ‘ France decided on war July ft, but the formal notification to 4ha* effect was not sent to the nearest Prussian outposts un til four days later. Neither Bismarck, Von Boon nor Von Moltke was caught napping either literally or metaphorically. On the contrary, they Were arranging even before France voted its fateful decla ration to make war Inevitable. France de clared war, but it waa Bismarck who forced her to do it, and both Von Moltke and Von Boon were in the game from which the king of Prussia was excluded, for he was not let into it until it was too late for him to undo what they had done. Nor did Von Moltke issue ordter.«Hta outset which made Sedan inevitable. The moet be did, as be tells us himself, was to. make plans in advance against every con ceivable hypothesis at French invasion of Germany. The first position be took up was that of observation in order that France might not by a sudden rush sepa rate north and south Germany. When he found the French were unequal to invading Germany, ha turned the tables on them. He could not foresee Sedan at the outset of the war, for the simple reason that he could not foresee that MacMahon would let go his hold on the road to Paris and start off on that attempt to relieve Meta which ended at Sedan. Von Moltke candidly admits in his books on the War that he was puszled the French move ments because they were so obviously wrong as to awaken his suspicion, and that he waa at fault in not pushing straight through the Vosges, whose passes the French did not even attempt to de fend. He did not anticipate that these gateways would be left unguarded and lost time in working around the moun tains In consequence. Von Moltke’s books are those of a frank man who tells what be did. Possibly if they were reed more some of those who are forever comparing our operations with those of Germany in 1870 would know better than to set up the great strategist as performing impossibilities. Von Moltke himself found It hard to stamp ont ail the absurd variations of his achievements that became current In Germany. He waa once, as he has told us, invited toa private view of a picture representing the council of war before Sadowa, in which ho was grouped with other historical personages. He complimented the painter on hia skill and dryly added that the picture was ef fective despite the tact that no such coun cil was held.—Boston Transcript Wouldn’t T*k* Advie*. A west side youth called the other even ing on a young woman who resides not far from his home, and when he rang the bell her little brother came to the door. ‘ ‘Good evening," said the little broth#. “Good evening," said the youth. “I* your sister at home, Geargis?" “Yes, sir, ” replied the boy, “sbe’shome. Do you want to see her?” “Yes," said the youth. “Please tell her I am here.” “Won’t you come in?” inquired the boy. “No, thank you," said the youth. “I’ll wait here on the porch." “Better come in," said the boy. “No," said the youth. “Bettek,” said the boy. “No,” said the youth. “Well, maybe you know best,” said the boy. “Yes,” smiled the youth. So the boy went in, and the youth sat down on the porch and propped himself against a post. Pretty soon with much rustling of skirts Miss Alice appeared in the doorway. “Mercy! Mr. Skimpie, is that you? Didn’t you notice the porch had just been painted?" And then poor Sklmple remembered with a sickly smile how urgent her little brother had been.

B*mlntoo*ne** *t th* Aathor of “Hom*, Sw**t Homa.” The old Christian cemetery at Tunis is one of the strangest sights in that Bje town. Just off a busy thorough under an ancient archway, is a r wooden gate, much worn by the lapse of time, thickly studded with fan tastic nails and provided with a prodi gious knocker. The latter, however, is not needed, for the gate yields to an energetic push, and you find yourself in a large, waited inolosure, half garden, half graveyard, where an Italian wom an is hanging out clothes among the gauat white tombs. It is 13 years since any one was buried here, and the place ia beginning to look neglected. The modern cemetery is new outside the walls, and its guardian told me that many people came to him to inquire for the monumedTbf “an American poet’’ or “an American consul,’’ and he had to send them to the old graveyard. The monument in question is that of the author of “Home, Sweet Home," and it bean the following inscription upon its sides: “In memory of John Howard Payn, author of 'Home, Sweet Home. ’ Born June 9, 1791; died April 9, 1853.
