He has made a practice of boarding vessels tied up at wharves, robbing sailors’ rooms. When captured last night he was wearing a portion of the wearing apparel belong- ing to Edward Vanderlinden, a Belgian count, who is an apprenticé on the British ship Lynton. The property of men of other ships completed his ward- robe. Early yesterday morning Willlams | of her home at White Sulphur Springs | was detected in the act of robbing a stateroom on the German ship Europa by the watchman, Albert Osberry. He started to make his escape and was running across the deck when the watchman called upon him to halt. In- stead of complylng Willlams drew a revolver and pointed it at the sailor. The latter, being unarmed, permitted |pay and advertised the furniture for him to escape, but was in a good posi- | tion to get an accurate description of the thief. For the past couple of weeks reports have come in from the British ships Eva Montgomery and Lynton and the German ship Europa that thieves had visited them. The thefts on the Eva Montgomery consisted of jewelry and clothing worth about $200; on the Lyn- ton clothing worth $300 and on the Eu- ropa clothing worth $100. Three sep- arate robberies were committed on the Europa. On each occasion the negro was seen, but gave as an excuse for his presence that he was either looking for a job or was seeking a friend. "It was not until early yesterday morning that Detectives McGowan and Conlan became satisfied that Williams was the - man who was wanted. ‘When searched at the City Prison Williams was wearing .the coat of the Belgian count, the overcoat of another sallor on the Lynton, the hat'of a Ger- man sailor, and he was stocked with a supply ‘of handkerchiefs on which ‘were stamped the names of seamen robbed. The watchman on the Europa, who Wwas repulsed with the pistol, was called to the prison by the detectives and without hesitation pointed out Willlams as the man who had threatened him. Several of the stolen suits of clothes have been recovered. Willlams will have .several charges .of burglary- en- tered against his name on Monday. —— 3 .

Intends to Gratify Peculiar Desire as Long as He Lives. $100,000 Cost Up to Date P A0 “Libraries may be all right for Car- negie, but my money goes into monu- ments,” recently remarked John G. Taylor, retired business man and Quak- er of West Chester, Pa. In these few words Mr. Taylor indi- | cated the hobby of his lifetime; a hobby which has developed into a mania probably the most remarkable brain kink possessed by any man in the United States, and one of the most costly. Up to date Mr. Taylor's collection of monuments has cost over $§0,000, and plans already perfected carry the amount of his expenditures in sight to over $100,000. And he does not pro- pose to stop until he has exhausted his fortune, reserving only a sufficient amount to see that his beloved manu- ments are kept in good condition after | he has been called to his fathers. ' The scene of his operations is in the old Lafayette burying ground, adjoin- | ing Birmingham Meeting House, of revolutionary fame, about five miles from West Chester. Mr. Taylor began his His wife lay buried in the ancient cemetery. and after the erectlon of a handsome trib- ute to her memory, he started to beau- | tify the place generally, planning fig- ures to mark historical events, in some of which his ancestors participated, to- gether with others commemorating matters and figures of biblical lore. - But his plans were not to be exe-' cuted without a determined strussle. Trustees of the cemetery looked askance at the dazzling marbles and the costly figures in the heretofore plain old burying ground and finally he was stopped in his work by order of the board. CONTROLS THE CEMETERY. Mr. Taylor, however, had no intention of abandoning his cherished idea. He | saw that, as matters stood, he could go no further, so he bided his time, worked quietly and said little. In 1891, to the surprise of the board of trustees, he secured enough stock to give him control of the cemetery com- pany, and at the election succeeded In ousting -the ‘“anti-tombstoners” and electing a board whose ideas were in - harmony with his own. The election contest was waged with extreme bitterness, and every man and woman who owned a lot in the ceme- tery was importuned to turn out. It was a complete victory for the monument builder and he was chosen president of the new board. The “anti- tombstoners” were routed and shortly after Mr. Taylor took up his monument plans in earnest and he has since made the old burying ground famous throughout the country. Mr. Taylor says he will proyide for the protection of his monuments for 100 years after he | monument | 1f the pathway provided | | ners repay the loan by monthly install- ments without interest. | Similar methods were adpoted with | | success by the royal munition factory | | at Spandau. The building societies of Gladbach, Barmen, Dresden and other cities of the empire have also proved successful in that respect. The Krupp establishment at Essen takes the lead in providing comfortable houses and | | cottages for the laboring classes. In | 1501 the value of the dwellings used | | exclusively by its workmen was | $8,8765,000. There were 1600 houses | of two rooms each, 1869 houses of | three rooms each, 448 houses of four | rooms each, 150 houses of five rooms | | each, 63 houses of six rooms each and | $4 houses of seven rooms each, mak- | ing a total of 4274 houses. During the | | past ten years a great improvement has taken place In the conditions sur- rounding the dwellings of daborers and the increased attention on the part of municipal authorities to sapitary ar- rangements .and the police laws | against too many persons occupying one room, Commercial Agent Harris says, have had a salutary influence.— ‘Washington Star.

PRINTING DONE IN PHILIPPINES Number of Natives Are Employed as Typesetters and Pressmen by UneleSam SOON BECOME EXPERTS Operate Linotype Machines in One of the Most Modern Offices in Whole World An interesting statement, descriptive of the Government printing office at Manila and of the Filipino typos em- ployed there by Uncle Sam, was made to-day to a Star reporter by Arthur | P. Ferl, a recent employe of that far- {away Institution, but who is now set- | ting type In the Government printing office in this city: “The Government printing office at Manila,” said Mr. Ferl, “employs near Iy 300 people, fifty of whom are Ameri- cans, the balance being Tagalogs, Vi- sayans, Bicols, Igorctes and represent- atives from various other tribes from one end of the archipelago to the other. It is no uncommon thing to find two or three boys working side by side who cannot converse in their native tongue and these generally resort to Spanish, which nearly all understand. They are nearly all students and readily acquire a knowledge of the English languages The employes of this office are required to attend night school, so that now every native who has been in the office any length of time speaks English. “It should be borne in mind that the Manila printing office is one of the most modern institutions in the world, hav- ing all the latest and most improved machinery for printing, folding, bind- ing, electrotyping, photo-engraving, ete.. Many of the machines would puzzle an American unless he was up- to-date and yet the natives are han= dling all these machines with such suc= cess that very few of the Amerfcan employes are required to do more than oversee the work. NATIVE STAFF. “In the ‘front office’ may be seen na~ tive clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers and typewriters and messengers. The work in the proofroom is done by Americans with lady copyholders and a few native readers and copyholders, who handle the dialects and most of the Spanish. In the composing room there is an American foreman, two or three linotype operators and several others in such positions as makeup, imposer, etc., all of whom are ‘instruc- tors,” while the fifty or more natives in the room ‘do the work." Here may be seen a native operating a double-deck Mergenthaler with such ease and com- fort as would make an anti-machine man’s eyes pop out of his head, and, while the average native cares even less than we do for hard work, they take to the machine as if they were made for each other.

In this country the general method i to run a locomotive for a limited num. she | ber of years, and then to relegate it to | the scrap heap'in favor of a more mod- ern type of engine. On the other side, however, the practice is to Tetain a locomotive in service as long as it' will run, irrespective of the developments and improvements that may be incor- porated in the progress of time. The result is that upon the English rail- roads may be seen engines stiil in hard use which we should consider long past he noble prisoner free. This was no exceptional black man. He was a type. There were thousands upon thousands of other black men like him throughout the length and breadth of the Southern States, loyal and devout to the families who owned them, choosing bondage such as it was, and affliction great as it was, with old miss and the children rather than the pleasures of freedom at the North to 'be obtained by desertion.

At the head of his private lot, where- in lie the remains of his father. mother, wife and other relatives, he has erected | an imposing shaft on the top of which, in a graceful kneeling pose, is a life- size statue of his wife in white marble. while at the foot stand white marble | statues of the Savior, the Virgin Mary Joseph. Al of these statues have biblical in- scriptions; they are incased in glass to_protect them from the elements. and are among the most beautiful specl- mens of statuary art in the country. Mr. Taylor's family lot Is close to the main entrance to the cemetery. Near the gateway is a massive granite monument, about twelve feet in height. surmounted by a large ball, erected to the memory of the monument builder’s great-grandfather, Colonel Isaac Tay- lor, who was a member of General Anthony Wayne's staff. ALL READY FOR HIMSELF. In the family burial lot there is but one space left for the dead. and this has been reserved by Mr. Taylor for himself. He has had his grave dug, walled and cemented, and when his time comes all that will be necessary will be the raising of a heavy granite slab and lowered the coffin to the place prepared for it. A few yards distant stands the im- posing shaft erected to the memory of General Lafayette. It is built of gran- ite on a pyramid base, and stands forty-five feet high. It is Mr. Taylor's purpose eventually to cap it with a bronze statue of the distinguished Frenchman. At the foot of the shaft there are places at the four corners of the capstone for - the busts of four French officers who participated in the battle of Brandywine. Their names and the dates of their birth are chiseled thus in the granite: General Lafayette, born September 6, 1757; died May 2, 1834. Caesimer Count Pulaski, born 1747; died 1791, at sea. General Count Jean Rochambeau. born 1725; died 1807, in France. Cenergl Marquis St. Simons, born 1760: died 1825, in France.

Mes. Taylor (wife). “Of the twelve linotype machines in the office ten are operated by our lit- tle brown brothers and with very fair success. All job work and blank work is done by natives. The copy must be carefully prepared, of course, and as everything is printed In Englishk and Spanish on the same sheet this Is quite a task. About the same proporition of printers make good job printers as is found among the Americans. “There is an American Printers’ Union in Manila, to which the natives do not belong, but they have a soclety among themselves which takes the place of a union, as evidenced by an incident that happened about a year ago. We were very busy in the office, and did not propose to recognize a cer- tain church holiday, so a number of the employes (natives) sent a mnote to the Public Printer, which, while it was hardly English, meant: ‘We under~ stand that we have to work to-morrow, but as it is a holiday we do not intend to do so." And they didn’t. LONG FINGER-NAILS. “All Filipinos who do no work Rave three long fingernails—the thumb and fore finger on the left hand, which the printers use as tweezers, and the little finger on the right hand. “It looks quite picturesque to sees 200 or 300 natives coming to work in the morning, all dressed in white; but go through the building fifteen minutes after the whistle blows and what do we see? The white suits have disappeared and we behold a motley collection of skinny brown arms and bony legs clad in a scanty suit of underwear. “While the office hours In the Manila office are from § to 12 a. m. and 2 to 5 p. m., which would seem easy enough for any one, it is hard to keep the na- tive at work. He must take a rest of two or three days every few weeks, and on this account it is almost im- possible to put a native in any position where there is any responsibility or where he has charge of a number of men. When they want to stay away from the office they are Tequired to furnish an excuse, and I recall one man in particular who burfed seven chitdren, his mother and father and several brothers and sisters in one year. They are like a lot of children and have to be treated as such.”— Washington Star. e e e e, The Virgin Mary. Jesus. Lazarus. Sarah G. Taylor (sister). 'aylor (mother). Thomas D. Taylor (father).

He will go out in the morn- ing, day after day, and linger by the sides of his monuments until the shades of evening drive him away. The place has become a Mecca for the public. and hundreds of people, come from far and near to view his expensive collection of marble and granite. ke has made a provision that when he shuffles off this mortal coil his body shall be frozen hard and that there shall be no speak- ing at either the house or the grave. He has already selected his pallbearers. A plain headstone will mark his own grave: it has been sélected and is all ready for use. e e— By meking a bluff at being busy some men are able tc dodge a let of ety
