I hnvo been reading and I supposo
cverylxxly lins been reading too, about
great criminal!) in llio newspapers. Tho
boastfulness of the deteotivo and tho
imagination of tho reporter havo com
bined to raak'o Homo interesting read
ing, but if you recall what you 'havo
read you will find that very fow great
crimen havo been committed. Ono or
two professional forgers, a half score
of burglars, a cluster o (.confidence men,
and tho whole list is exhausted. Tho
foot is thora is no such army of crimin
als fcrtilo of expedient, ready of do
vice, watchful of every chauco to
break in and steal, as tho polico would
havo you bollove.
I was looking oyer tho criminal list
tho other day ot tho convtotcd pro
fessionals confined in Now "V ork state.
Thoy wcro uumorous enough, but tholr
crimes wcro contemptibly small. To
make your Yidocq, you must hnvo first
your great criminal and his great
crime Tho American VUlocq, makes
himself with theso two essentials left
out; and having opportunity to talk
with ono of tho alleged great crimin
als, ho confirmed my belief in tho vis
ionary character of these shrowd and
clover rascals with no greater effort
than revealing his own stupidity. I
hunted up another, a professional who
bas rcpoated his offenses sufficiently to
entitle him to any other distinction
than that of an honest man. I would
mention that ho wears stripos now, ex
cept that it might draw from tho valuo
of his statements in tho minds of some
who are too easily prejudiced. Any
way ho is better authority than the po
lice, whoso vanity in their own capac
ity may bo a proper pride, but leads to
so'mo mighty tall lying.
''Tho fact is that professional thioves
and rogues are not numerous in any
locality, and if crimo wore tho sole
source of support for tho few hundreds
who aro so classed most of them would
bo hungry many times every year.
Men who steal whenever thoy get a
chance always have some other occu
pation, and it is a fact tbst tho legiti
mate one is moro profitable than tho
illegitimate one in nine cases out of
ten." Thus began my informant,
"Wesley Allen, the pickpocket
"But in this city there is a ast army
of professional criminals," I said, "men
who aro classified and whose industries
havo special forms, implying cunning
and originality."
"My dear sir, you havo been reading
tho newspapers or talking to detectives.
Thoro isn't a dozen. If really olover
men if men with a modicum of brains
that belong to clever people wore to
devoto their talents to roguery sooiety
couldn't exist. Tho methods employ
ed by thioves, for example, to attain
tholr ends look very cunning and well
planed to ono to whom they aro first
revealed. But tako any ono of them
and examine it and you will seo how
flimsy it is. A sneak thief wants to
got into tho till of a corner grocery.
Ilis accomplice comes with a tape line
and begins to measure tho sidowalk in
front of tho door, or to measuro tho
wall, or comes In a wagon and begins
to throw out a lot of boxes. Tho gro
cer steps out to inquire; is hold in con
versation, asked to hold the oud of the
measuro or pass back tho boxes; the
sneak is in and away, and tbo trick is
off. A saloon keeper is known to keep
a pocketbook stuffed with money in
tho inner pocket of his vest. The pick
pocket knows it is a difficult place to
touch. Two accomplices como in when
ho is alone, both of them laughipg
heartily ono with a tape measure.
'Well, that was a dead loss for me,'
says ono. 'Set-'em up.' They laugh,
ask tho saloon keeper to drink and ex
plain that thoy were betting on tho
girth of a neighbor The saloon keep
er becomes interested; the more so as
tho rounds are being called and then
the loser wants to get even. A bottle
of wine is staked and the victim asked
to measure, the new bet being on his
girth. Objection is taken to the vest;
off it comes and the sneak thief a
third party soon has the leather."
"Now, that's t-rtful, certainly," said
L.
"No such a thing, it is most trans
parent and simple. It couldn't succeed
if it wero not that the victim is a fool.
But theso are exceptional cases of such
good planning as crooks can do. But,
after nil, suppose a man of brains

of wero to devoto himself to tho plan

You hear of a great burglary. "She
newspapers which report it dwell noon
tho fact that it bad been carofully plan

had left in their flight, was found.
What's to hinder any mau from learn
ing every room and every door in New
York city? There's tho builder's plans,
the insuranco companies' plots and the
building department's open files. A
littlo watching and a good deal of
guessing makes up tho rest of the
burglar's knowledge. Of course, his
'tools aro of tho finest workmanship.'
Haul Tho chances are ten to ono that
thoy consist of a bar of iron, which be
ing carried by a burglar is called a
"jimmy;" a daik lantern, a copper ham

"But thero are cases whero men

"Bah! How many? You say ton

Milville IlecRO Dill, a prominent
business tunti of Somerset county, and
Lrothcr of United States Marshal, An
drug II. Dill, died nt tho Bingham
House, rhllapelphia late Wondcsday
nltcrnoon of lost week. Ho had como
to tho city on Tuesday from his homo
nt Aleyersdale, oomersot county to un
dergo an operation by Dr. D. Hays
Aguew for the removal of hemorrhoids
lrom which bo had an tiered lor several
years. Mr. Dill had been treated by
Dr. Agnew n year ago for fissure. An
operation was pcrlormod and tho
patient experienced no bad effect from
tho other which was administered.
Dr. Agnew had mado an appoint
ment with Mr. Dill lor two o'clock on
Wcdnoiday afternoon, and went to tho
botoi nt tbo timo agreed upon, accom
panied by Dr. J. William White, who
lias been his surgical assistant for many
years. Thoy commenced work about
a half an hour later. Tho patient was
laid upon a table in Ins room and ur,
Whito administered tho anrcsthetlc.
Tho other used was known as "Squibbs"
and is considered tho purest and best
that is made. It was administered in
tho usual way from a towel folded in
tho shapo of a cono. In a fow mo
ments Mr. Dill became unconscious
nnd Dr. Agnew began tho operation.
After the first hemorrhoid bad been
tied and while the second was being
operated upon respiration suddenly'
ceased. Both physicians at onco turn
ed their attention to restoring tho
patient. Artificial respiration was cm
ployed, electricity was used, tho body
was flagellated with wet towels and all
the usual methods to resuscitate were
used. While tho patient had ceased
to breatho the heart continued to beat
and tho physicians workod untiringly
until all nope was gono.
Dr. Agnow said that in his ex
perience of forty years as a physician
and surgeon ho had administered ether
in thousands of coses and never had an
accident before. Ho considered other
tho best and safest amcsthetia known
and said that the patient's sudden death
was something that no human fore
sight or caro could havo avoided. Dr.
Whito was much distressed over tho
affair and stated that this was tho first
instance in his practice that tbo admin
istration of ether had terminated fatally.
Mr. Dill had been successfully oper
ated upon by Dr. Agnew one year ago
for fissure. Ho took ether at that timo.
His sufferings for some months bad
imperatively demanded an operation ;
thero was no other; way of relieving
him. Tho operation was impossible
without an anaesthetic ; tho safest known
anrcsthetio was selected and was given
in unusually moderate quantity, less
than !ix ounces having been adminis
tered altogether. It was given in the
usual way and ono which has been em
ployed by Dr. Agnow and Dr. White
in hundreds of cases for many years
without an accident of any kind. Tbo
etherization was sufficiently complete
in from ten to fifteen minutes to admit
of his being placed in the proper posi
tion., and the operation was begun.
Within a few minutes he suddenly
ceased breathing, having beon breath
ing treely a moment before, no was
at onco turnod on his back, his tongue
brought forward, his throat explored
for possible obstruction, movements of
artificial respiration begun, flagellation
and cold wet towels employed, upward
friction of tho limbs used, electricity
applied and the usual methods of re
suscitation put into operation, but
without effect. Although his heart
continued to beat for thirty or forty
minutes it was impossible to bring
about the natural movements of breath
ing, although efforts at resuscitation
wero kept up unremittingly for an
hour, or for some time after tho heart
ceased to beat. It is evident in this
that death was not from heart
failure. The proportion of deaths that
occur during etherization is variously
estimated f rom 1 in 1,050 to 1 in 20,
000 cases, the actual average probably
lying botween the two, and have hap
pened in the practice of the most
distinguished surgeons of all countries,
although this was the first instance of
the kind in the experience of Dr. Ag
new or Dr. Whito.

tion for State Treasurer, and an inti
mato personal friend of Marshal Dill
and his brother, was in tho room dur
ing the operation. Marshal Dill re
mained in the offico of the hotel await
ing with sorao anxiety, but with no
thought of danger, the result of tho
operation. As soon as his brother be
gan to sink he was summoned. He
was terribly shocked and distressed,
and had hardly reoovered his compos-
uro when he left the city yesterday
morning wun nis brother's body ao
compamed by Colonel Grimeson. He
blamed the surgeons and Dr. Aenow
said that ho had received a severe letter
from Marshal Dill, which under the
circumstances, he did not attach any
importance- to. It is only a fow weeks
since Marshal Dill's father, an eminent
Methodist clergyman, died and tho
sons were much distressed by that
ovent,
Coroner Ashbridgo was not notified
of tho death of Mr. Dill until Thursday
afternoon. Dr. Whito called at tho of-
fico and stated that Dr. Agnow had
granted tho certificate of death under
tho apprehension that as tho deceased
had been under their care at tho timo
of his death a Coroner's inquest would
not bo required. Tbo (Joroner said
that as tho death was not due to nat
ural causes it was a caso that should be
investigated by his office. Mr. Ash
bridgo wrote a letter to Marshal Dill
in whioh ho stated that while ho deep
ly sympathized with him in his nfllict-
lon ho was compelled to order a post
mortem examination, and Dr. Formad
was dispatohod to Lowisburg on the
midnight train to make the autopsy.

How Indians Poison Their Arrows.
From the Omaha Republican.
It was a long time before Friday
orao and I began to think ho was go
ing to disregard my suramons, and was
getting angry, whon ho suddenly put
in an appearance. I explained to him
what I wished to know, and without
tho slightest hesitation he said to tho
venerable arrow-maker:
"Tell my brother all about tho poison
ed arrows."
"Well," said tho old man, "first wo
tako a bloated yellow rattlesnake in
August, when ho is most poisonous,
and tie him with a forked stick to a
stake then we tcaso him until he is in
a groat rage. This is done by passing
a switoh over his body from his head
to his tail. When ho threshes the
ground with bis body and his eyes
grow bright add sparkle liko diamonds,
wo kill a deer, antelope or somo other
small animal, and, tearing out the liver
throw it to the snako whilo it is warm
and tho blood still coursing through it,
Tho reptile will strike it again and
again and pretty soon it will begin to
turn black. When he tires, the snake
is teased again and ho is induced to
sink his fangs into the soft flesh until
all tho poison has been extracted from
him and tho liver is reeking with it.
lie is then killed and tho liver lifted
with a sharp polo, for so dangerous is
it no ono dares touch it, Tho liver is
left lio for about an hour, whon it will
bo almost jet black nnd emit a sour
smell. Arrows are thon brought nnd
their i'on heads pushed into tho liver
up to tho shaft. They are left sticking
thero for about ono hour and a half,
when thoy aro withdrawn and dried in
tho sun. A thin glistening yellow
scum adheres to tho arrow, and if it
but so much as touches raw flesh it is
certain to po'non it to death."
I asked if Indians still used poisoned
arrows. "No," ho replied "no man,
Indian or whito man, for years past has
been shot with theso arrows and thoy
nro no longer made."
He Signed His Hamo Backward.
A gentleman in Washington who
has had business relations with Oscar
J. Harvey, tho Treasury forger, tolls
an interesting story of Harvey's pecu
liar signnturo. He says that Harvoy,
in signing his name to oheoks and oth
er business papers, invariably writes
backward, beginniug with the word
"Harvey;" ho next writes tho letter
"J.," nnd then comes tho name "Osoar,"
which ho writes backward, beginning
with tho letter "r." Tho gentleman
says ho has seen Harvey sign his namo
in that way moro than a dozen times,
and that on each occasion tho not was
accomplished with the rapidity of
lightning, it boing plainly apparent
that its owner had been in the habit of
writing it thus for many years. Tho
business man onco asked Harvoy for
an explanation of his peculiar signa
ture, but was rewarded only with a
smile and a knowing shake of tho head.

At-Fernbank, ten miles from Cincin

Harry B. Cox, a young electrician,
who, though known to but few, is at
tracting tho notioo of scientists and
clectrioians in this country and Europe
by his inventions, in which he is as
prolifio and ingenious as Edison. ' His
atest device is a trumpet to be used
for telephoning at sea, on which he has
been at work for some months. Tho
invention is the outgrowth of his dis
cover of the great distance an euboed
or reverberated sound will carry, and
tho discovery that Bpeaking trumpets,
if made to givo tho samo fundamental
noto would vibrato and produco the phe
nomenon known in acoustics as "sym
pathy." With this trumpet conversa
tion in an ordinary tone of voico was
carried on botween pirtioi four and a
quarter miles apart. People sitting
at their windowe or on their porches a
mile away conversing in an ordinary
tone could bo distinctly beard, and in
two instances they wero told tho na
ture of their conversation and admit
ted that suoh had taken place. By
listening to tho whistlo and tracing
it to and beyond Fernbank to Law
renceburg, Iud., it was found that the
instrument has a well-defined range of
twenty-six miles, that is, a load sound
like a locomotivo whistle or the rumb
ling of a train can be distinctly heard
at a distance of thirteen miles m every
direotion. Conversation was readily
carried on between two men on high
hills on opposite sides of the Ohio river,
about four and a half miles apart.
Tests made on tho wator showed that
tho trumpet was even moro available
than on land. Tho instrument will bo
patented as soon as perfected. A namo
has not beon chosen for it. Mr. Cox
has a groat many other enrions nnd
