AND THEBLOW ALMOST-—~- ',.-
For It Meant Twenty Years OLD-hm
Thrown Away. A
Representative Eddy of Minnesota,
is a man who makes a friend of his
pipe. Itis his companion when alone. He
dreams over it, philosophizes over it,
and it is a sort of condiment to aid in
the digestion of the books he reads.
For twenty years or more he has had
one favorite meerschaum pipe. It has
been his pride and the comfort of his
quiet hours. It was a beautiful and ex-
pensive pipe when he got it, and year
after year a deeper richness of color
came upon it, until it came to-be just
about as perfect in every respect as a
meerschaum can be. A short time ago
the amber stem got broken.
Mr. Eddy took it to a foreigner who
has a shop on a side street in this city
and who was recommended as a re-
pairer of broken novelties. The next
day the mender of novelties appeared
with the pipe carefully done up in a.
cloth.
“Ah;-” he said, “I dona a bea—u-tiful
repair. It is, ah, so bea-u—tiful. lika
oer-x,” and as he unwound the cloth a
proud smile played across his dark
lace. Then he'held the pipe up to its
owner‘s eyes. A new amber replaced
the broken stem and the pipe was
white and new looking.
“It was, oh, so dirty. I thought I
:leana it. With alcohol and sandpa-
per, very fine sandpaper, I cleana it
bea-u-tifully.” _.
The pipe had been carefully sandpa-
pered—very carefully sandpapered-

The Recoil from Every Shot Fires the
Next Shell in the Chamber.
The most wonderful weapon ever
seen in this country in the way of a re-
volver is at present in San Francisco,
the property of Theodore Kytka. The
weapons come from Bavaria, and sev-
eral Governments are making bids for
them. The pistol wrecked a target in
the station-house during the test—not
only wrecked it, but pierced three
inches of chilled steel at the back of it.
All this innocent looking little weapon
requires is that the marksman pulls
the trigger once, whereupon it empties
itself of six loads in two seconds.

“'oman with Him Released.
Philadelphia, Jan. 12.—The forfcfiture
of nearly $25,000 in cash bail at vari-
ous points in New England. hasn’t
saved the “King of the Bunco Steer-
ers.” He has been captured'here, and
will be taken to Connecticut for trial. ,
He is John Reed, alias John Green- ‘
halge, who has been a fugitive since
early in December from Middlesex
County, Mass, where he was under
$9,000 bail for trial for larceny and
swindling - . -
J. H. W'hitney, of the Massachusetts
State police, is in the city and has
claimed his prisoner, who is held to
await requisition.
Reed, with a pal, who is yet at large,
worked a three-card game on Charles
Sweitzer, 1a seventy-yew-old farmer at
Chelmsford. He offer-ed to purchase
a farm from Sweitzer for a Boston
client and drove to look at the prop-
erty. On the way they met the pal
disguised as a tramp, who engaged in
a game of three—card monte with. the
farmer and his friend, and won $5,000
from Greenhalge. The old man then
went to Lowell and drew $3,500 from
a bank and the pal stole it.
The swindlers operated their card-
turning trick in' Gardiner, Mass,
where they got $3,500 from a farmer;
in Natick, where they got $1,200, and
South Framingham, where they also
got $1,200. a
The two men were finally arrested
and put under bail at all the towns in
which charges were made against
them by victims. Their bail aggre—
gated $l5,000. They left Lowell in De-
cember, and both have since been
fugitives. ‘
Reed, alias Greenhalge, was arrested
here underpthe name of GeorgeSpen-
oer. A woman was arrested with him,
but was not held. His trunk and oth—
er effects were taken to Police Head-
quarters and examined. Reed was ar—
rested at the Reading terminal station
on the arrival of a train from New
York. V‘v'hitney traced him to New
York, and finding he had fled notified
the police here. The woman who was
arrested was traveling as his wife. In
addition to the places given, Reed also
operated in Bridgewater, Clinton, Low-
ell and Brockton, Mass, some towns in
Connecticut and at Franklin, N. H.,
where he robbed rural victims of-
3,000. .
Reed was arraigned in several places
in Massachusetts last week, and on
each occasion forfeited cash hail, the
aggregate being nearly $25,000.
The man who furnished the cash
said a syndicate was behind Reed, and
would furnish'half a million dollars if
necessary to secure his freedom.

Dr.‘ Smith’s Charges Against a Missouri
County Poorhouse Are Denied.
Chicago, Jan. 11.—Dr. William Smith,
of'the American School of Osteopathy
at Kirksville, Mo., who is under indict-
ment for alleged complicity in a recent
robbery of paupers’ bodies from the
morgue at the county poorhouse, and
who is. said to be‘ a. graduate of the
University of Edinburgh, alleges that
such is the condition of affairs at the
county charitable institution that med-
ical, colleges may readily have their
choice not/only of the bodies of the
dead paupers, but’of the living ones.
He avers that. the attendants, or
some of them, are ready at any time to
killany one of the inmates if the body
of such inmate can be disposed of to
advantage. A man, who is also under
indictment on account of the morgue *
robbery, is charged by Dr. Smith with
being the chief culprit. Smith says
that the man offered him a subject for
dissection for the sum of $50, and that
when he saw that the subject was alive
he said, with a. wink: “That’s all right,
Doc; just say you’ll give me the $50,
and you can take him away in a
trunk.”
A local paper prints Smith’s story.
A Chicago paper, which caused Smith’s
detection and arrest for body snatch-
ing, pronounces it untrue, and .says’
that Smith Offered it the story some
time ago for $200. President Healy, of
the County Board, says that the story
is too absurd to consider.

Helen Coppage started out to fast
sixty days. This was her thirty—fifth
day. She was fat, and confident when
she began. She said she didn’t mind
going through Christmas without any-
thing to eat. Fasting, she said, was
easy to her; she often passed over two
meals Without knowing it when she
was busy.
About ten days after she began to
fast she began to grow thin and pale,
but was. as determined as ever. She
remained bright and resolute until two
days ago, when she caught the deep
cold. Her condition became serious yes-
terday, and two physicians were called
to the museum, where Mrs. Coppage
was on exhibition. Both advised that
she discontinue her fast at once. Miss
Coppage broke her fast with hot milk.
Miss Coppage came off victorious,
even though she had to break her res-
olution. N o woman ever fasted so long
as she. If she had continueduntil 8.15

Before the first trial of Thorn Mrs.
Nack entered a plea of not guilty. It
was therefore a. great surpriSe to
Thorn’s lawyer when, on the third day
of‘the first trial of Thorn, Mrs. Nack
was put on the witness stand as a wit-
