A little while later another man called on him at the city jail and asked to be allowed to talk to him.

The evidence submitted by the prosecution wag entirely circumstantial, and the judge in mming up the case said: “There is s much evidence introduced against the d fendant in this case which 1s not admissible. but which will bear looking into, that I do not think it justifiable to deprives him of his liberty, and will therefore continue the case while awaiting further developments, and will release him on his own recogniz ance.” Immediately upon leaving the court room, however, he was again locked up by Chief -Scanlan, an information_having been filed against him by George S.

The chances are that the near future will see a professional bicycle thief landed be- hind the bars of the penitentiary of braska or lowa, as he is now sheltered by the bars of the Jail at Glenwood and has a clear case of grand larceny pending against him in both states. Mention was made in yesterday's Bee of the theft of a bicycle belonging to J. B. Fulton from in front of the Sapp bullding. Fulton found that the thief had taken it to Omaha and sent It to Pacific Junction, with instructions to the express agent that it be sent to Chicago, In the meantime Fulton had sent out de- scriptions of the wheel to the town authori- ties all over this section of country, and had_received word from the express agent at Pacific Junction that his wheel was there. He wired back to catch the thief at all hazards if he came around again. Thurs- day afterncon Fulton and Bmmet Tinley went down to Pacific Junction, H. M. Harford of Omaha had a bicycle stolen from in front of the New York Lifc bullding fn Omaha and learned that it, too, had been taken across lots to Pacific Junc- tion. Thursday afternoon the thief entered the express office at Pacific Junction with the bicycle and put-a tag on it for Chicago. Before he left he noticed the wheel he had left there three days before still standing right where he had put it, instead of being on its way to Chicago. He took the station agent to task for his neg- lect of duty. An officer was called in to arrest him, but he slugged the officer and almost succeeded in gaining his liberty. He was finally arrested, however, and on trial was convicted of assault and battery and laid by for a §25 vacation In the county jail of Mills county. As soon as the jail sentence has been completed he will be brought either here or to Omaha for a trial on the charge of grand larceny. He was caught with the Omaha wheel in his possession, and the admisgions he made to the Pacific Junc- tion express agent will be sufficient to con- vict him of the theft of Fuiton’s wheel, so that there seems to be but little doubt that a conviction will follow. Fulton has vowed venzeance on him and will stay by the case until the thief is landed behind the penitentiary bars. The police have sized the fellow up for a professional bicycle thief, and are of the opinion that if an ef- fort ‘were made it would be found that he has been running a “fence” in Chicago. The accussed gives his name as T. Baski. An information charging him_with larceny has been filed by Fulton in Justice Vien's court, LIST TO GO BY.

There is a city ordinance forbidding mer- chants from using more than thirty Inches of the sidewalk next to their bullding as a storage place for their goods, but no one would ever dream of such a thing who had not read up the law. The ordinance has been absolutely ignored for years past by a number of merchauts, and In some cases the sidewalks Lave been wo cluttered up with boxes and other obstructions that unl“ Brooklyn. person could searcely pass without running the risk of impaling himself hpon a pro Jecting nail. Marshal Canning has decided fo see If the law cannot be made to serve some useful purpose as well as to ornament the books, and has served notice on offend ers that it Is to be enforced It is to be hoped that the serving of the notices will not be the last of it. The ordinance prohibit ing the hanging of awnings lower than seven feet from the ground is also to be enforced for a change.

Wil- Dr. Albert Shaw publishes in the July Re view of Reviews a critical character sketch of Senator Allen of Nebraska, from which the following excerpts are taken: The west, far from asserting its claims too vociferously, has pald too much deference to the east. Life is simpler in the west than in the east. Outside of a few large western cities, the absorption in money-get ting is far greater on the Atlantic seaboard n in the Mississippl valley. The western people have more time to read and to think, and they devote themselves much more gen- ally than th castern brothers or cousins to a consideration of public questions. There is really no reason, therefore, why Senator Allen of Nebraska should not be supposed to bring as complete qualifications (0 his task at Washington as, for instance, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts But none the less the east must be indulged in its inability to look upon an untried west- ern man with other than skeptical and cur- fous eyes. The country has, however, at length become aware that in this junior senator from Nebraska there has appeared a new personality, full of vigor and power and with the promise of a future that ma be very considerable in our world of federal affairs. Long before the year 1000, however, w believe the people of Nebraska will hav discovered that their populist senator stands n pure patriotism, natural dignity, honest manhood and intellectual power so far above the perplexing and {ll-defined bounds that mark the present limits of party programs that they will acquire a ' genuine pride in him as a public man of the first rank, intent upon the performance of duty and guided by a broad intelligence and a fixed habit of un- shrinking application to the task In hand. Many members of the senate have had pre- vious experience in the popular chamber at the other end of the capitol building. Others have seen much legislative service as mem- bers of the law-making bodies of their states, while others have become experienced in public affairs through one or more terms as state governor. It is not often that a mem- ber comes to the United States senate with- out some such experience. It may be observed, however, that the exceptions to this rule tend to become more numerous, and that it is by no means certain that a new class of public men, who reach the senate upon grounds of high personal merit rather than by virtue of their long *xperience in party manipulation, are the s useful and effective. Senator Allen had not been a politician and had held no politi- cal office. The circumstances which necessi- tated an extra session to discuss the silver question and that' have prolonged the regu- lar session with a_well-nigh endless sham battle over the tariff, have made Mr. Allen’s first year as a senator an exceedingly full and heavy one. No néw man at Washington since the opening of the government has ever entered more completely fthan Mr. Allen has done into the thick of the legisla- tive combat; and no man coming without reputation and as perfect stranger both to men and to methods at Washington has ever won his spurs more valiantly or gained the respect of his colleagues more purely and strictly upon the grounds of merit. e He had never held any office nor been ac- tive in politics. Until 1890 he had remained in allegiance to the republican party. In answer to a question or two he replied: My people were all strong republicans, and, of course, T naturally fell into the republican party, but I was never a radica) party man and am not today. I have always looked upon a political party since I have grown to man- hood simply as a means to an end. I think a party should be held no more sacred than a man's shoes or garments, and that when- ever it falls to subserve the purposes of good government a man should abandon it as cheerfully as he dispenses with his worn- out clothes. I am a member of a political party simply because I believe that through the triumph of that party the government will be made better; and so a political party has no charms for me outside of what it can accomplish conducive to good government. I was a lawyer and was interested in my profession. My business was the trying of cases until T was elected judge of the courts of my district. Several times I was asked to be a candidate for the state legislature, but always refused. I took very little part in politics, and mever any part in my own belaif.” o . Mr. Allen is fortunate in being endowed most abundantly with what western college boys are wont to call the “‘physical basls of greatness.” There are a number of fine- looking men in public life at Washington, and it Is a mistake to declare that our po- litical arena no longer gains recruits from men of marked personality and distinct, individual power. Perhaps it would be an error to assert that Senator Allen possesses the finest physique of any man in congress. The anthropological experts of the Natiohal museum and Smithsonian institution, whose tape measures have been so busy with the 400 or 500 members of the Coxey encamp- ment of the Commonweal of Christ, have not yet ventured to perform a little service upon the almost equal number of gentlemen who make up the two houses of congress. It would be exccedingly interesting and In- structive to compare measurements of the two bodies. Certainly there are some very fine specimens of physical manhood among the Coxey contingent. Abnormal types do not appear to be very frequent either under the roof of the capitol building or under the thatched booths of Carl Brown's miniature Utopla at Bladensburg. Senator Allen fs not the tallest man in congress, but he is tall enough. He measures about six feet and three inches, and weighs 230 pounds, not an ounce of which appears superfluous. He has a broad and massive frame that sup- ports a large Websterian head, and he stands as stralght as a pine tree. His smooth-shaven face reveals strong but kindly features, and his straight mouth and firm chin betray $gme of his most striking qualities. His speétacies add somewhat of a benign, professorial aspect to a countenance that otherwise might seem severe when in repose. —g— HE KEPT HIS HEAD. The Admirable Copdition of a Man After a Railroad Smashup. “There isn't anything in the world that know,” he sald {8 & 'reporter of the Phila- delphia Press, “that-makes a man lose his senses so completbiy¥‘as being tumbled over and over in a falling,car, and yet I met a man once who« seemed the personifi- cation of coolneg§ fh Just such a situ- ation. Aa soop, .48 our car left the track we were cadl shot from our berths in variousdtrections, being tumbled up and down andi@iGind as the car kept on turning somersaults. Like the people I read about, we landed in the water, and when the car came to a standstill after its terrifying bumping and crushing I was so frightened that I could scaresly move my arms to keep my head above watgr. “Near me was & man who kept his head. " ‘Don't splash around so,' he said, ‘You'll cut yourself. The car is full of broken glass lamps, wrenched rods and rails, and you'll haok yourself to pleces.’ “But I thought I was shouted my fears to him “'Oh, no,’ he sald, ‘we are not drowning; we'll get out of this easily.’ “But it was not 80 easy to escape as my cool friend assured me. The whole Inside Work had been shattered, and there was nothing by which we could climb to the win- dows, which were high above us, as our car was overturned, lying on its roof. “We made %0 many efforts to jump up, always falling back into the water, that i became exhausted. My friend, however, kept on encouragl me. “Finally, with assistance, I managed drowning, and I to clutch a window frame and I got out. He followed me shortly afterward ““Well, T guess 1 am alive,’ he said After we had sat there for a while, watch- ing ‘with shivers the wreckers working out to us, my friend declared that he was going to erawl back into the car “‘Great heavens!' I begged, ‘don’t do that; we were lucky to get out once. You might get pinned there or drowned by the rising water,' I have a waisteoat In there,’ he an swered, ‘and in the inside pocket there's over $1,000. I am going back for that waist coat. My berth wis at one end and I might be able to find t.’ “In the face of my protests he crawled back through the window, and when he dropped down with a loud splash I was as rattled’ as If I had been there again myself. I could here him puffilng around In the water down there for a long time while he fished for his waistcoat. Finally his wet head came through the window once more, and I never was more glad to sce a man. ‘I got It!" he said, with a triumphant laugh, ‘Pretty wet, bt the bills be here. Watch is gone.

The lIowa, now building, will be 11,206 tons. There is now a reaction against monster ships. England s the only naval power that persists in the policy of bulld ing them, and apparently she is n aring a halt. That the Italians have come to this conclusion s indicated by the dimensions of their latest armorclad authorized, which will_have 9,800 tons displacement. The de termination of France and the United States to keep their battleships under 12,000 tons was_deliberately taken by each government after weighing weight against efiiciency. In this policy Russia also agrees, the largest of her armorclads in service being the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, of 10,280 tons, while her naval constructors regard 12,000 tons as about the proper limit. Of the cruisers now afloat the Russian Rurik is the largest, and probably, taking all things into consideration, the most pow- erful. She is armor belted and is of 10,900 tons displacoment, almost 2,000 tons larger than the Blake. The Englikh have author- ized two cruisers of 14,000 tons each, belng determined to see the Rurik and go her 3,100 tons better. As in the case of armorclads England stands alone in accepting this chal- lenge. Her Blake and Blenheim are not only exceeded by the Rurik, but by the Spanish Emperador Carlos V., which has 9,235 tons displacement. The largest French cruiser in active service is the D'Entrecasteaux, of 7,900 tons, but the Jeanne d’Arc is being enlarged to a total displacement of 8,700 tons. The largest cruiser class of the Italian service, either afloat or authorized, displace 6,500 tons each, which is 450 tons more than Germany's leader, the Kaiserin Augusta. The largest of our cruisers afloat is the New York, of 8150 tons, while the Brooklyn, building, will be 1,000 tons larger. Sl s Paper Horseshoes, “When paper horseshoes were first Intro- duced into the cavalry service of the German army a few years ago they excited a good deal of interest,” sald Jacob Minotz of Ber- lin to the Globe Democrat. “Several cavalry horses were first shod with paper shoes and the effect observed. It was found that not only did the lightness and elasticity of the shoe help. the horse on the march, making it possible for him to travel faster and farther without fatigue than horses shod with iron, but that the paper shoe had the property of being unaffected by water and other liquids. These new sheets of paper pressed closely together, one above another, and rendered mpervious to molsture by the application of oil of turpen- tine. The sheets are glued together by a sort of paste composed of turp ntine, whiting, gum and linseed ofl, and then submitted to a powerful hydraulic pressure. Paper horse- shoes are also made by grinding up the paper into a mass, combining it with turpentine, sand, gum, litharge and certain other sub- stances, pressing it, and afterward drying it. But these shoes are less tough and elas tic than those made of thin sheets of paper Jaid one upon another. These sheets are fastened to the horse's feet cither by means of nafls or with a kind of glue made of coal tar and caoutchouc.” Sttt DUl Arrested for Threatening Royalty.
