INGENIOUS PARISIAN ROBBERS. Some of the Unique Schemes to Which They Resort. From the Chieigo News. Recently a dangerous band of rufflans was arrested in exciting circumstances in the Bois de Boulogne. The Bois is never a safe place after dark, but for some weeks past there had been a marked increase in the number of robberies reported to the police. The details furnished by the vic- tims made it clear that many of these rob- berles were the work of the same gang. who had devised a method of character- fetic ingenuity. On sighting a solitary pas- serby they would approach him, declare themselyes to be detectives, inform him that he answered the description of a criminal with whose arrest they were charged and that he must consider himself in custody. Under pretext of searching their victim they then led him aside into a deserted cor- ner of the wood and stripped him of all his valuables, while, if he made the least resistance, he was severely maltreated. In spite of careful searching the police were long unable to discover the hiding place of the gang, though it was believed that they had established their headquarters in one of the more inaccesstble thickets of the Bois. This proved to be the case. A few nights ago a policeman who was exploring the copses at the back of the Pavilion Chinois stumbled on a regular en- campment. Ry dint of laying down a bed of dried leaves and twisting the branches into a sort of roof the robbers had made themselves a tent in the heart of a dense mass of underwood. By the light of his dark lantern the policeman was able to see four sturdy ruffians fast asleep, each with a revolver at his side. He went In search of assistance, and returned with three of his colleagues. Two of the policemen pro- ceeded to crawl stealthily toward the sleep- ers with a view to seizing their weapons. Their comgades stood by with their re- volvers pointed ready to fire in case of ne- cessit: The strategy of the police was successful and after a desperate struggle they arrested three of the four bandits. At the police station it was found that their capture was of even more importance than had been suspected. The chief of the band, Eugene Bory, ennounced with pride that he was known among his myrmidons as the “Great Cayman,” a distinctlye title he had earned by escaping from the con- viet settlement of New Caledonia. He had been transporied for a burglary committed in the house of M. Vaillant, the socialist deputy. With three of his fellow-convicts, he made a raft, on which they crossed the River Maroni, a stream that swarms with alligators and sharks. They landed in Dutch Guiana, where they lived on croco- diles and serpents. Bory obtained em- ployment in a gold mine, stole a quantity of gold dust and reached England with his plunder. He Mved for some months in London, but his funds being exhausted he could not resist the temptation of revisit- ing Paris. —___+e+___ Friendly Advice.

GEORGETOWN’S BALL TEAM —r—4 Candidates for the, Places Have Begun Work, Games Arranged With ‘all the Crack Teams That Would Come—Un- uxaally Hong List. The Georgetown University base ball team candidates were called together for their first practice last week, and they have since been kept daily at work 4n earnest. Al- ready the weeding-out process has begun. Strong rivalry is manifested in the con- tests for ai! the positions on the ‘varsity nine, and the successful men will have to show especial ability. Only preparatory work of a light nature has been indulged in thus far, affording a poor idea of the merits of the candidates. However, they all have good reputations as players. A couple of able men are assured for every one of the nine positions. For catcher there are Cranston from last year's nine and formerly of the Central High School, and Cashman, an agile and heady youngster from Rhode Island. There are three strong candidates for pitcher in Blewett from Milwaukee. Wis.; Dowling of Johnstown, Pa., and Golden. also of Pennsylvania, besides C. R. Kernan of Philadelphia, Emmet Byrnes from the Business High School and Jchn Fay of the District of Columbia to be reckoned with. Arthur Devlin from the Central High School,who did so well on the foot ball team last fall; Kathman from Louisiana, Pius O'Donnell of Pennsylvania and McElroy of Rhode Island will all help to make the contest for first base a decidedly interest- ing and close one: O'Hara of Pennsylvania, Belchinor of New York, Sullivan of Florida and Pitcher Dowling can cover second capably. Shortstop will be thoroughly taken care of by Charley Moran of the District of jumbia, the star player at this position last year; Tom Smith from Nashville, Tenn., or Henry Kane of Wisconsin. Besides Smith and @ as prospective third basemen, Douglass and McElroy will prove strong candidates for the same posi- tion. There 1s also a strong supply of candi- dates for the outtield, which will undoudt- edly be a fast one. In addition to Walsh and Downs, left and centerflelder, respec- lively, last year, Carl Burbank from the Central High School, Eddie Byrne from Brooklyn, George Green, Philip Scantling and Emmet Byrnes will all make strong bids for the outer-garden positions. Jerome Bradley to Coach. Jerome Bradley, Princeton, ‘97, the fa- mous centerfle!d captain and coach of Prince- ton’s teams for practically five years past, will make a worthy successor to Phil King, who coached Georgetown’s base ball team to the collegiate championship last season, and who has returned as base ball coach to the University of Wisconsin after a sea- son’s absence. Bradley has had remarka- ble success both as a player and coach at Princeton. He developed into one of the most inteiligent players in the country while at college, and learned the methods of college men thoroughly, so that he should be an invaluable aid and an entire success as base ball coach at Georgetown this season. Although Coach Bradley has a hard task before him in developing a team equal to Georgetown’'s team last Year, every one be- eves there is a promisiiz outlook. The Teams Coming Here. Georgetow record last year was eigh- teen victories out of twenty games with ecllege teams. Many local base ball enthu- slasis went to Georgetown in preference to watching the Washington league team, and they were repaid with such scores as George- town 9, Yale 4; Georgetown 7, Princetond; Georgetown 10, Princeton 6; Georgetown 4, Yale 2; Georgetown 9, Pennsylvania 0; eorgetown 6, Harvard 5; Georgetown 8, Virginia 6. Georgetown 15, Maryland 14; Georgetown 6, Virginia 5. It is also recorded that in a_ten- inning game Georgetown played the Washington leaguers to a standstill of 3% to and would have won out but for the ation of the new balk rule, since re- pealed, by Pitcher Ed. Bach, '99, LL.B., who graduated last June. This year Geo teams than eve prominent etown will meet more good fore, in fact,all the more college teams of the east who would come, assuring even a longer season of first class base ball than last year.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The recent remarks of one of your cor- respondents with regarg to taxes and the diabolical ashman touched a responsive chord in the nervoys physique of many a man and double the number of women who reside in this city. The person who by much economy and hard work has accu- mulated property enough. so that he can be one of that envied number (“taxpayers”) usually has something else to think of be- side his taxes, and {t would be a great convenience If he could receive a personal notification when his taxes were due. We are in hope that the ashman will, in the course of time, become 2 thing of the past. His fate has been up for discussion by the ruling powers for several years, I believe, 80 We have great reason to be thankful in that respect.

The wagons of the poundmaster have visited Hillsdale and the section of the Dis- trict adjacent thereto several times of iate, and the men with the wagons have always succeeded in picking up some stray dogs not wearing muzzles.

There are a number of dogs constaatly appearing in this locality from across the line dividing Maryland and the District, {t is said, which may account in part for the business done by the wagons. —_-— Straws, Ribbons and Roses. From the Millinery Trade Review. Some of the most attractive pastel corn- binations are carried gut on coarse straws in ribbons and roses. The harmonies most favored being green, blue and mauve, two different shades of green, blue and lilac, mauve or pink; all the tints named being of an equally pale, low tone. Preference is given to the greens over all others, for the straw, the shape proper being of sometimes one shade and the braids used to trim it of another. At-ihe Maison Jame I was shown a charming se- lection of models built up after this fashion, also an admirable specimen of the Amazon style in mauve straw with rouleaux of the same on the brim, the trimming of which consists of ribbons of the same pale hue and of groups of short couteaux—white shaded off to blue. A dainty little capote, the front of which shows a coronet made of bunches of cow- slips in different shades of pasted green and mauve; a sort of rosetto of straw forms the back, to which is attached wide strings of very diaphanous mouseline de soie, of a pale green tone, pleated down half their length. And, as representing the brighter side of the palette, a toque composed of ripe corn colored crinoline, the edge form- ing a sort of light turban decorated with a cluster of deep-hued pansies. ——_+ e+ _____ The New Butterfly Bracelet. From the New York Telegram. The erm of the fashionable wearer will undoubtedly twinkle with one of the very new butterfly bracelets. Just a perfectly plain tight-fitting band of flexibie gold it must be, clasping the arms above the elbow and set with a gold, jewel-besprinkled but- terfly. ‘The long, lovely body and large wings of the glorious insect are so’ poised that at every movement of the arm’ the gleaming pinions tremble, open and shut. Another equaly curious and beautiful arm- let has a mere gold thread to fasten above the elbow. Across it is fixed a thin enam- eled lizard, which at a little distance ap- pears to have climbed se high on the white, round member that gives it support. Not one of these new bi ts is clasped at the wrist or below the elbow. ~ Hotel Chefs | = OLDENBERG’ | 922-24-26- Running through “THE DEPENDABLE STORE.” 28 7th St. to 704-6 K Street. elrelotetelpte lotto comprise Venetians, Cheviots Sa a a as aoe and double-breasted stvl the correct box pleat bac! oughly finished.

The answer of the Carnegie Steel Com- pany, Limited, defendant in the equity suit of H. C. Frick to determine the value of his holdings In the company, was filed in common pleas court in Pittsburg yesterday. Touching upon the profits of the company and the attempt to organize a stock com- pany, it is admitted that the profits of the company for the year 1899 were substan- tially as averred by Frick (about $24,000,- 000). Carnegie denies that the association has assets which it cou'd transfer werth $250,- 000,000, and It is asserted that on Decem- ber 11, 1899, the books showed that the net value of the assets of the association ‘Was $75,810,103.06. From time to time Frick has been a member of committees ap- pointed to revalue the as#ets, and the val- ues now entered may be taken as Frick’s own statement of their value to the fellow- members, on which during Frick's member- ship more than fifteen settlements have been made with retiring members or the estates of deceased members. In this connection it is stated that the price to be paid for the property of the as- sociation and the coke property on an op- tion given by Carnegie was $320,000,000, being on the basis of $250,000,000 for the property of the association and the bal- ance for the coke property.
