St T-w* CITECTIVE3 IN FULL DRESd. fteme eC the Methods Employed by Ex perts In Criminal Aflhira. [Philadelphia Express.) “Why is a detective required at a wedding, where everybody comes by in vitation. f” '‘Becauseit is not only the professional crook you have to look out for. There are plenty of kleptomaniacs. When a ' rich and well-dressed woman steals a diamond ring she is called a klepto maniac. When a dirty beggar steals a pair of shoes she Is called a« thief. Wo detectives think that this is a distinction without a difference. Thea you must remember that every-now and then a professional thief gets into a private residence where a fashionable wedding is being solemnized, notwithstanding that he has no invitation.” “How does he do it(” “Walks right in. The most expert and successful of petty thieves always dress elegantly, and have the appearance of the greatest respectability. It is a peculiar thing, too, that they can con trol some of the handsomest and most accomplished women. A thief gets a ‘mash’ on an apparently respectable woman, and sometimes marries her. Some thieves I know of have married into fine families, and the people never knew they were crooks. If the thief doesn’t marry the girl he keeps her as his mistress. When he pakes a good haul of 43,00£Lgi-HlW^lFWllovFs $5(10 into her lap. They live on the top of the heap, and dress as well as the finest. It is the easiest thing in the world for a couple such as I have described to get into a rich man’s house where a wed ding is going on. They drive up to the door in a handsome carriage. What if they have no cardsl Plenty of people come without them, although the in vitation bears the explicit inscription, ‘Present this card at the door.’ The usher can not afford to insult such distinguished looking guests, so they pass in. Once inside, what a harvest is spread before them! Frequently at weddings of the rich $50,000 or $60,000 worth of jew elry, silverware, and all sorts of most valuable articles are spread out in a room without any protection whatever. Then look at the chances there are to steal jewelry and ornaments from the ladies present. The thief is given a bet ter opportunity than in a crowd on the street, because everybody is totally un suspicious. All the women wear the most valuable gems and ornaments they possess. lam a pretty good judge of a diamond—can tell one when I see it— and I have seen a w-»man at a wedding with $50,000 worth displayed on her person, in her hair and ears, on her throat and breast, and on the shoulders of her short-sleeved dross. An expert thief does not want an easier job than to slip off a pin here, or a brooch there, and it does not take him long to collect enough to support him m the most lav ish extravagance for months. “H hat course does a detective pursue at a wedding!” “Well, in the first place, you know, he appears as a guest, and not in an official capacity. He wears a dress suit, even if he hnX to rent it for the occasion, a white tie, and a gold st:«i in hh sliirt booom. The work is entr niely difficult. I Really, all that cun be Juijfc is tq < »h« presents clo-scly an< m that carnos any of them off. Sometimes, in a large roum, two men are required. Os course, we cannot prevent the crooks from working the crowd ualess we hap pen to know them. If we spot any we know they generally get out ns quickly as possible without making any trouble. After everything is over one man usu ally stays all night, because, as a rule, there are a great many strange servants in the house who have been employed for tbe occasion, and they need watch ing.” Cheap rsel for Dakota. (Dakota Farmer,] A correspondent after having tried “turf,” coal, wood, and sunflowers, has settled upon the last named as the cheapest and best fuel for treeless Dakota. Ho says: “1 grow one acre of them every year, and have plenty of fuel for one stove the whole year round, and use some in another stove besides. J plant them in hills tbe same as corn (only three seeds to the hill), and culti vate the same as corn. I cut them when the leader or top flower is ripe, let the n lay on the ground two or three days; in that time I cut off all the seed heads, which are put into an open shed with a floor in it, the same as a oom crib; the stalks are then hauled home and packed in a common shed with a good roof on. | “When cut in the right time, the stalks when dry are as hard as oak, and make a good, hot fire, while the seed heads with the seed in, make a better fire than the best hard coal. The seed 1 being very rich in oil it will warm bet ter and burn longer, bushel for tjushel, than hard coal. The sunflower is very hard on land, the piece of ground se lected to plant on should be highly en riched with manures. In the great steppes (prairie) region in the interior of Russia and in Tartary, where the winters are more severe thaiPhereTn Dakota, the sunflowers are, aad have been for centuries past, the only kind of fuel used.” The Effect of Diet on the Teeth. [Exchange.) According to a Hartford, Coan., den tist the extensive and almost universal use of tonics and sedatives, in the form of iron and bromides, and the general use of fine flour and non-bone making food materials, are what support the vast .army of dentists in this country. It is a curious fact that the effect of Amer ican food upon the teeth of emigrants who have been used to a coarser and perhaps a more wholesome diet, is more marked than upon the teeth of the sons of American ancestors. Gladstone’s East Chore. (Chicago Tribune.] The English prime minister's duties do not end with the close of the daily sessions of parliament, when the tired members are at liberty to take them : Mires off to bed. On the contrary, be fore seeking rest he muM ’▼rite to the queen, giving her an official report of the proceedings. These letters are I couched in the third peroen: “Mr. J Gladstone presents his duty to her maj esty, etc.,’ and her majesty's replies, usually dictated to a six retary, also run tn toe thiMi person. SOCIETY AT WASHINGTON. tttow to Got into the Whlrt of the Offi cial Circle—Feeding the Multitude, [‘■Ruhamah” in Globe-Democrat. ] Matrimonially, Washington is the poorest market in the country, as many of the deluded ones have found before the first season was half over, and while to a certain extent anybody can get into society here, and go to the public recep tions at the While House, and call on : every official family, the privileges cease there. A bar is set against those not in official life that can only be lifted by winter residents of great wealth, who will entertain the officials. A very frank and a very vulgar woman bluntly asked a prominent society ma tron how she should manage it to get into the whirl of the official circle, and the astute matron answered: “Feed them! Spread your table well the first time, and all Washington will be eager to come on the next occasion.” That ambitious soul was simply the wife of a rich retired tradesman who came here to spend her money, but without official position, or relative in office, she had a weary and expensive up-hili struggle, and had to take many snubs and buffetings from those who feasted and danced in hor house. It was bettor that their fortune from trade was ac quired iu another city than here, for the richest of the Washington merchants have no standing in what is distinctively known as Washington society. A man may make his fortune in junk, oifl clothes or street-sweeping, any place else, and with his money eotne to con gress, and gain entrance to tlie great social circle for bis family, but n be made his money here society would scorn him utterly. There was a woman here onoa. the wife of a western statesman, woo, a dozen years before her appearance at Washington, managed a laundry and hotel and drummed up her patrons at the depot from her omnibus steps. Bbe was familiarly known by her first name everywhere. Together the couple ac quired a fortime, and, taking a house as soon as they reaetied Washington, they fe4 She mumfowle and wa tfadir tor tervapto end to tite ptace tito Matateem wife eewvtod. gvmsAitar was bey mH ftS paeaUci anfl tagr hwagwajge not ahvaws marked with propriety. Fhough her mtuineK tacked tin repose and polish of the Vere de Veres, etery one flocked to her house when it was open, danoed for her fa vors, ato and drank of her abundance and went a«_y to ridicule her. Foreign ministers and attaches would go there, but only th© unmarried men, as the la dies of the foreign circle did at least draw the line at the ex-luundre.ss. After a season or two the statesman’a wife broke down and, plaintively saying “I have overdone, ” retired from active life, and felt the keen sting of disap pointment and what she called ingrati tude at the way she was passed by, over looked and forgotten, when no longer able to minister to those who had rioted at her expense so long. Sied.je-Do’ji cn Unsafe I#®. [Erchin<-.| . Sledge-dogs next no prging with the whip when their m#qnct informs Uiainthat they are ot\ unsafe ice. i They flea onwards at the speed which . [ tdoti» caa iwtvw an f, as wnst experience*:! repeated]y by Dr. Hayes,* instead of ' keeping the sledges together in a com pact body, they diverge and separate, ao as to distribute the weight over as large an area tm possible. When they begin to find themselves menaced by this dan ger, and tbe prospect ahead appears to them unusually threatening,“they trem ble, lie down, and refuse to go further.” Most arctic explorers tell of hair breadth escapes from treacherous ice, when they have owed their preservation to the sagacity of their dogs. Wrangell relates an incident of this nature: “Our first care was to examine the possibility of further advance; thie, however, could only be done by trust ing to the thin ice of the channel, and op.nions were divided as to the possi bility of its bearing us. I determined to try; and the adventure succeeded bettw than could have been hoped for, owing to tbs incredibly swift running of the dogs, to which doubtless we owed our safety. The leading sledge actually broke through in several plaees; but the dogs, warned, no doubt, of the danger by their natural instinct, and animated by the incessant cries and ea couragement of the driver, flew to rapidly over the yielding ice, that wc reached the other side without actually sinking through. The other throe sledges followed with similar rapidity each across such part as appeared to be the most promising; and we were xkhf all assembled in safety <m the north side •f the fissure, ft was necessary to bait for a time, to allow the dogs to recover a little Loin their extraordinary exg» tions.” GEORGIA ’ JD-AY, Tuesday, March 24.
