AN ORIGINAL THIEF. go embezzler who packed himself and $10,000 in a trunk and was then sent by express to St. Louis, was captured in this city to-night. His name is Thomas Vines and he is the clerk in the employ of Adams & Westlake company who disappeared Saturday with the wages of 700 men. He confessed that he took the mon- ey and with the aid of a confederate whom he refused to name, he rented a room near the factory and prepar- ed for flight. He blackened up as a “negro and, secreting the money in old stockings, threw them under some old clothes in the bottom of one of the largest trunks his accom- plice could purchase. Last night when he thought the vigilance of the police was somewhat relaxed under the belief that he was already out of the city, his confederate sent an ex- pressman to their room and Vines in his negro disguise helped the ex- pressman load the trunk on the wag- on. Five holes to give air for breath- ing had been bored by the embez- zler in the back of the trunk near the lid where the openings would not be noticed. On the way to the depot Vines told the expressman that he intended to beat his way to St. Louis by going in the trunk, be ing too poor to pay his regular fare. The expressman thought it risky but did not interfere when Vines opened the trunk, jumped in and snapped the lid shut with a spring lock. The trunk was put into the baggage room by the expressman, the check for the trunk being in the possession of Vines’ accomplice. Vinesand the trunk went on board the train and the embezzler and his $10,000 were treated as common baggage for dis- tance of over a hundred miles. That . was as long as the embezzlar could stand it. The air was stifling and he had been tumbled over and over until he was sore in every joint. On making an outcry he was released by the baggageman. They did not put him off the train, but sympathizing with the plea of poverty allowed him to travel the remainder of the jour- ney ina passenger car. The trunk was carelessly closed by the train- men and its contents left undisturb- ed. At St. Louis the trunk could not be obtained by Vines without the check and his confe'erate did not put in appearance. Considerable pity was expressed by the depot men for Nides and a small collection was taken up to buy him a dinner and supper. His strange story reach- ed the ears of the police and aroused their suspicions. His description hed been received from the Chicago authorities and a reading of itresult- ed in the dispatch of an officer to arrest the fugitive. Vines was taken into custody while begging the bag- gageman to disregard the usual reg- ulations and give up the trunk. Instinct in Brutes. Few things are more wonderful than the instincs that guides the brute in the choice of its food and medicine. In India the mungoose, when bitten by the deadly corba, is said to seek among the grass for some unknown herb or substance which it swallows and is thereby en- able to counteract the effect of the poison. Man. when his system is deranged by the accumulated poi- Sons engendered by constipation or a sluggish habit of body, should seek relief in Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, which will at once establish & permanently healthy action of the liver, stomach and bowels. Suppose a man and girl were to get married—the man 35 years old and the girl 5 years; this makes the man seven times as old as_ the girl. They live together until the girl is 10 years old; this makes him 40, four times as old as the girl, When she is 15 he is 45, three times as old as the girl. They live until he is . 60, twice as old, and so on. How! long at this rate for the girl to be twice as old as the A question in morais: “Mamma is it fair for Lou to slap me twice w T only one?” hen How Embezzler Vines Smuggled Him- selt Gut of Chicago—His Arrest.

Lexington, Ky., Dec. 20.—Acable message from London has been re- ceived here which states that the bay colt Galore, 3 years old, by Ga!- opin, dam Lady Maur, by Macaroni, has been purchased by American parties for $7,000. Galore was a winner both asa 2 and-3-year-old. All told he has started in sixteen races, five of which he has won. The message also stated that the 3-year-old Ossory, brother to Or- monde,tby Ben D'Or, dam Lilly Ag- ner, by Macaroni, is yet to be sold, but there is a reserve bid on him of $10,000. Milton Young immediately cabled to bid the reserve price on that great 3-year-old for him. A Doetor’s Bill Saved. Chattanooga, Tenn.,June 28, 1888. The Swift Specific Co.

Dublin, Dec. 28.—The Freeman's Journal, referring to the Parnell inquiry, “The Times prolonged the amount of evi- dence regarding outrages in the hope of securing testimony to justify the statements made by Attorney-Gen- eral Webster, in his opening address. Feeling the ground slipping from under its feet, it resolved upon desperate game to retrieve its for tunes. With this in view it patched an emissary to America, who discovered Sheridan at Pueblo, Col., and tried to induce him to go to London and testify before the commission, promising him that if his evidence proved satisfactory he would be paid $10,000 within an hour after his examination was con- cluded. commission says; a dis Sheridan played ‘possum with the agent for a time and, was finally offered $5,000 down if he would accompany the agent to Eng- land. Sheridan then positively de- clined to appear before the commis- sion, and assured the agent that he was in no wise desirous to share the fate of James Carey.” William’s Australian Herb Pills.

Nebraska City, Dec. 27.—A farm house seven miles southeast of here oceupied by Ashbury Bryan, his wife and six children, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. All ex- cept one little girl got out together and John Bryan, aged 21, returned and rescued her at the perl of his life. Then as his mother and the children were standing in the snow barefooted and in their night dress- es he went back to get clothes for them. He never came out, and his body was found just inside a door burned to a crisp. Mrs. Bryan waded four miles through the snow in her bare feet before securing help. What Am I to Do?

Dense Ignorance Regarding the Cabi- net—Senator Hiscock Goes West. Washington, Jan. 2.—Senator Teller, who visited General Harri- son at Indianapolis during the re- cess of congress was much esoughi after by his associates on the senate floor to-day and spent much of the time on sofas in conversation with fellow members. They all wanted to know about cabinet, but the besi that Senator Teller could tell them was that he did not believe anybody kuew anything about it. One of the most interested per- sons was Senator Hiscock, who lat- erin the day left for Indianapolis. The senator has been popularly cred- ited with warmly supporting Piatt for a cabinet position, but he made no expression of the particular pur- pose of his visit before leaving.

Dr. Mad Mothers’ € New York, Jan. 2.—Mrs. Auna Sedler of 107 Grand street, Hoboken, after being beaten by her drunken husband on New Year's eve tried to ki!l her little boy, Albert, with rat poison. The boy refused to swal- low the dose, and his ciies brought occupants of other rooms in the ten- ement, who saved his life. The mother confessed that she intended to kill all four of her children and herself. She is dying of consump- tion and is about to again become a mother. Chicago, Il., Jan. 2—Mrs. O'Leary, living at 48 Gurley street, wife of William O'Leary, attempted and probably succeeded in killing n new herseif and her young daughter to night with carbolic acid. Both were given strong emetics and taken to the hospital, but no hopes are enter trined for their recovery. Mrs. O'Leary left a ietter for her husband stating that the cause of her desper ate act was the interference and domi- neering way of her mother-in-law.

Graza was shot through the back and through the stomach. Barbo was shot through both thighs, one finger was blown off and he was shot in the body above the heart.

HE question has often been asked, “to what does The Century owe its great circu- lation!’ The Christian Union once answered this by the statement that “it has been fairly won, not by adver- sing schemes, but by the excellence which characterizes it in every department.” In their announcements for the coming year the publishers state that it has always been their desire to make The Century the one in- dispensable periodical of its class, so that whatever other publication might be desira- ble in the family, The Century could not be neglected by those who wish to keep abreast of the times in all matters pertaining to culture. And the unprecedented circula- tion of the magazine would seem to be the response of the publicto this intention. With the November number The Century begins its thirty-seventh volume. Two great feat- ures of the magazine which are to continue throughout the new vol- ume are already well known to the pubtic, the Lincoln history and the papers on “Siberia and the Exile System.” The first of these, written by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, President Lincoln's pri- vate secretaries, contains the inside history of the dark days of the war, as seen trom the White House. THE SIBERIAN PAPERS, by George Kennan, are attracting the at- tention of the civilized wo The Chi- cago Tribune says that “no other magazine articles printed in the English language just now touch upon a subject which so vitally interests all thoughtful people in Europe and America and Asia.” As is already known, copies of The Century entering Russia have these articles torn out by the customs officials on the frontier. DURING 1889 The Century will publish the most im- portant art feature that has yet found place in its pages. Itis the result of four years’ work of Mr. Timothy Cole, the leading magazine engraver of the world, in the galleries of Europe, engraving from the originals the greatest pictures by the old masters. Aseries of papers on Ire- mn land, its customs,t land- scapes, etc., will appear, and there are to be illustrated articles on Bible scenes, treating especially the subjects of the Inter- national Sunday-School Lessons. George W. Cable will write ‘‘ Strange, True Stories of Louisiana.” There will be novelettes and short stories by leading writers, occa- sional articles on war subjects (supplement- altothe famous “War Papers’’ by General Grant and others, which have been appear- ing in The Century), etc., etc. The Century costs four dollars a year, and it is published by The Century Co., of New York, who will send a copy of the full pros vectus to any one on request. FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. St. Nicholas for 1889. PEOPLE who have the idea that St. Nicholas Mag~ j azine is only for little chil pecnen should look over the prospectus of that maga- zine for 1889, and they will discover that it is for children of all ages, “from five to eighty-five,” @s some one recently said of it. Indeed, while St. Nicholas is designed for girls and boys, it might almost be called a “family magazine,” for the grown-up members of a household will find much to interest them in every number. The editor, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, Calls the next volume an “all-round-the- world year,’ because it is to contain so many illustrated papers about the world in general—not dry geographical papers, but stories and sketches and tales of travel and adventure by land and sea—and all illus- trated by the best artists. The features will include a serial story, “How We Made the Farthest North,” by Gen. A. W. Greely, the well-known comm ander of. the Greely Expedition; a serial about Canada, by Mrs. Catherwood, who is writing a serial story for The Century this year; “Indians of the Amazon,” by Mrs. Frank R. Stockton. There are many papers about Europe, including a Christmas story of life in Norway, by H. H. Boyesen; articles on Holland and the Dutch, by Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge; ‘The Queen’s Navy,” by Lieut. F. Harrison Smith, R. N., with illustrations of many of England’s finest war ships; “The Winchester School,” illustrated by Joseph Pennell; ‘‘ English Railway Trains,” by Wm. H. Rideing, etc., ete. Tne French papers include “Ferdinand de Lesseps and his two Ship Canals,” and there are several interesting contributions on German, Italian and Russian subjects. = Under “‘Asia,”comes “Boys an@ Girls in China,” by Yan Phou Lee (a recent grad- uate of Yale) ; “Home Lifein m the East,” by Mrs. Holman = (A Hunt, and a number of pa- pers about Japan. Under “Africa” there is a sketch of Henry M. Stanley, by Noah Brooks, ¢ and several stories about gotten, nor the islands of the % sea, and there are even to be 4 stories of under the sea. ¢ Of course the bulk of the contents will | relate to American subjects, as usual. Mrs. Burnett, the author of “Little Lord Fauntle- roy,” contributes a story of New York called | “Litfle Saint Elizabeth ;” there will be papers ” describing how the govern- ment offices are conducted, papers about athletics, ama- teur photography, etc. The full prospectus will be sent } to any one who wishes to see | publishers, The Century Co., of | | ra it by the New York.
