tained in the curly black head of a four- teet-year old boy.

They have no Fagin. The Artful Dodger dominates the whole.

Abe Solomon, who is supposed to live at No. 10 Suffolk street, is the modern Artful Dodger of this wicked young crew.

This precocious prince of pickpockets first achieved an unenviable notoriety in May last. On the thirteenth day of that montn two Polish lads, Michael Men- lelovitch and Bernard Ragafsky, were ar- rested for stealing a pocketbook from a Mrs. Mary Conners, in Central Park. They professed to be perfect strangers the one boy tothe other. This is an essential pact of the scheme taught in Solomon's school of thieving. Ragafsky, the elder of the boys, who gave his age as fifteen

ears. indignantly repudiated the idea of hs being a thief. He claimed that he worked hard for an iceman called Solomon. The proof of his hard work was found on his person in the shape of Mrs. Conner’s pocket-book.

Mendelovitch, the younger boy, stoutly stood out for his honesty at first, but when ae found himself in the hands of the Gerry society for an indefinite period he expressed his willingness to “give the snap away.” Her story was he reached over her with his right hand and made a grab ata pear. At the same time she felt his left hand slip into her pocket. She seized him but was immediately surrounded by a dozen young hoodlums, and he wriggled away, but not before she had recognized him and others of the group as the redoubtable Solomon gang.

That night her son” Benny went down to the junction of Essex and Division streets and there found the crew. He mingled with them, and being familiar with crooks’ slang he readily pitched astory that he had just come from doing time and was anxious for work. They told him it was no use “going it alone’ down there. Solomon bossel ihe whole show. A woman passed along, and wishing to test them, Mendel put them on her asa plant. Quicker than thought they had sampled her pocket. The result was only a handkerchief. This achievement they pooh-poohed. One of them bragged he had ‘lifted a leather” with twenty-three dollars odd that very day. Mendel grabbed him and held on. But the gang came in force, and he had to let go.

Finding Patrolman Ed Housmann, he took him to the boy’s home, No. 85 Ludlow street. The boy, Sammy Abrahams, was in bed. His mother said he was thirteen years old, a good boy, and went regularly to school. But the policeman took him along, and the sight of an Eldridge street cell caused young Sammy te squeal. He said he was there when the pocketbook was stolen, but he did not dothe job. He said the thieving was done by one of Abe Solomon’s scholars called Davey Schopiro. He swore he had never attended the schoul. although he was quite familiar with the methods of teaching, and describ- ed the whole process in detail.

Schopiro was taken, and at the hearing was committed for trial at General Ses- sions, and Sammy Abrahams, against whom there was no direct evidence, was discharged with acaution. He profited by this caution so farasto change his scene of action to Coney Island’ There on Sun- day, Ang. 9,asa man called Davis, who keeps the camera obseura on Surf avenue, was standing outside his show, he saw two or three tiny young urchins surround a lady, while one slipped his hand into her pocket and withdrew it plusa fat pocket- book. He grabbed the boy and secured the purse just as it was being passed to snother.

Five Life Chapters,

Gerhardt Hauptmann’s “Die Weber’’ is said to be one of the most impressive re- presentations of real life ever seen in New York. It takes a strong stomach to digest some of the stupendously strong scenes in the drama.

Yet it isa marvelous work. Play, you cannot call it. It is, rather, five chapters taken out of the book of life. Such a book! it makes one shudder to think that Haupt- mann has taken his scenes from nature— that such hunger, such poverty, such sou] anguish can possibly exist within the pale of civilization, We have, however, the author's word for it that he has simply vransplanted to the stage an all too com- mon sample of the sort of existence led by the Silesian peasants.

Sporting Notes.

Again Miss Rose Mosenthim has defeat- ed Tillie Ashley at St. Louis, and she is now champion female sculler of the United States.

That was an enthusiastic gathering in the Broadway theatre the other night when ths Giants were presented with the Temple Cup. Gothams big nine will make a strong bid for the pennant next season.

A sale of horses in training, the prop- erty of Messrs. McCafferty & Wishard and P. Lorillard, took place in the paddock at Morris Park the other day. Judge Mor- row, & Brooklyn Handicap winner, brought ' op price of $1,400, going to S. S. How- land. Kenwood, at one time a stake win- ner, sold for $5.

Wheeling Time.

And now the Ziegler, the California wonder, holds the mile flying start record, having clipped 34 ofa second off John S. Johnson's 1.34 record. With the record at 1.50 flat it is no wonder that some per- son bobs up and asks “What next?”

the victim was carried to the home of his parentsona barn door. During the trial of the homicide the court-house was crowded to overflowing with people, who flocked in from the country for miles around to listen to the gruesome details of the slaying and to gaze upon the murderer as he was escorted to and fro by the con stables between the jail and the court house.

For several days immediately preceding the hanging (that was before the day of railroads, it should be recalled) multitudes from the country for twenty and more miles around flocked into town to see the execution, and some of them “to turn an honest penny.”

On the fatal Friday the “Big Field’’ sur rounding the gallows was fringed with booths and tents for the sale of cakes, pies, smali beer and other refreshments, inter- spersed at frequent intervals with farm ers’ waggons laden with watermelons muskmelons, apples, peaches and other fruit, the enterprising vendors of which drove a brisk trade under the very shadow of the fatal tree. It was estimated that on that tragic summer day over twenty-five thousand people, a large proportion of whom were women and children, were clustered around the gallows to witness the dying throes of the wretched man And, thoughtless boy though I was, I was shocked by the horrible indifference to the dread event for that poor soul which was mwnifested, and by the still more horrible jesting, profanity and drunken combats that were indulgedin. It was a saturna- lia of brutishness and indifference never to be forgotten.

Longevity of Nuns.

Cloistered nuns, writes a Paris corre- spondent, are said to die early, and those active women of the orders of St. Thomas de Villeneuve, St. Vincent de Paul and the Augustine sisterhoods to live to great ages. I know a sister of charity who was engag ed in the cholera wards of the Hotel Dieu in 1882. She refuses to retire from active service, and has three times volunteered to attend smalipox patients during epi- demics. Sister Rosalie, who organized the French military hospital service in the Crimea, lived to a great age. The other day the golden wedding of Sister Delphine with the order of St. Vincent de Paul was celebrated at Romanville. She wasa full yeara novice before she took the ‘lack veil, and has been fifty years a school teacher. Sister Delphine was thirty years old when she determined to take the vows By the rules of the order of St. Vincent de Paul the nuns are not allowed to aspire to extraordinary virtue through mortifica- tion. Such efforts might feed pride and cause self righteousness. The teaching is that those who want to be angels before God calls them to a higher world are li- able to fall lower than ordinary mortals.

A Unique Lottery Record.

A Japanese student living in Brooklyn has had some curious news from his home in Nikko. It appears that his cousin has won the first prize in a government lottery, and, by so doing, has been sent abroad to travel for ten years, with a handsome al lowance, which is to be paid him every three months by one of the most substan tial banks in Japan. If he returns to Japan for more than one month in each year he forfeits the allowance, and it also stipulated that at least half of the time spent abroad must be in the various coun- tries in Furope. The second prize was five years’ travel, and the third prize one years’ travel, on the same allowance, but the con- ditions were that all the time must be spent in Europe. This certainly is the most unique lottery on record, and the most commendable.

Telephones tn Church.

Supporters of the telephonic system in Birmingham can now be placed in com munication with Christ church in that city and practically take part in the services The telephone wires run straight into the pulpit, and the listeners at the other end of the system can hear the tolling of the bell, the prayers, the responses, the sing- ing, and the sermon. Even casual cough- ing among the congregation can be dis- tinguished. There are many classes of persons on whom this new departure con- fersa great boon. The sick and bedridden, who have long been prevented from at- tending any place of worship, can now be present, if not in flesh, in the hearing.

The Pigmy Cattle of Samoa.

The Samoan islands are the natural hab- itat of the most diminutive species of vari- ety ofthe genus bos now known to the naturalist. The weight of the males of these lilliputian cattle seldom exceeds two hundred pounds, the average being not greater than one hundred and fifty pounds. The females usually average about one hundred pounds larger, are very “stocky” built, seldom being taller than a merino sheep. These dwarf cattle are nearly all of the same color—reddish mouse color, marked with white. They have very large heads as compared with their bodies and their horns are of exceptional length.
