PICTUKE THIEVES.
A DEALER WHO SAYS THERE ARE
ARTISTIC KLEPTOMANIACS.
Theft of a Mnrllln ami of Gainsborough's
"Ilnrhmia of DrTotwhlr" Story of a Kl
Olvcn For a Vol ftharric and Coun
terfeit I'.tchlng-a.
"Did yon ever henr of the nrtistio
kleptomania!-?'' asked a vi It known
ilenler in etchings during an nf tor lunch
eon harmony n few dnys ngo. "Well,
thero is Mich a person. Tlio artistic khp
toitimii.'ta is insanely fond of valnablo
art in 111" form of etchings or paintings.
Ho steal through tho admiration mid
lovo of art. There nro many famous in
stances whero old mill nlmost priceless
masterpieces of tho painter's nrt hiivo
been taken by persons of this kind, mid
it is odd that in nlinost every instnuco
tho stolen pieces of nrt could not bo
traced.
"Tho most famous nrtistio theft of
modern days was the stealing of tho fig
nro of St. Anthony from tho celebrated
picture by Murillo. Tho painting, which
was on exhibition in tho cathedral ot
Seville, represented St. Anthony snr-
ronnded by angels. One morning abont
seven years ago it was discovered that
the figure of St. Anthony had been cot
from tho canvas.
"All Europo was notified of the theft,
but the polico never found the thief.
About two years afterward a Spaniard
from tho WeRt Indies called in nt tho
establishment of Mr. Schnus, tho well
known pietnro doaler of this city. Tho
Spaniard told Mr. Sebnus that he would
like to soli him an unsigned painting by
Murillo. Mr. Schaus, being a man of
largo intelligence regarding works of
tho masters, recognized immediately
the figure of St. Anthony cut from tho
painting in tho cathedral nt Seville.
"Tho man was seized, and Mr. Honour,
had the honor of returning tho painting
to Spain.
"The thoft of the celebrated portrait
of the Duchess of Devonshire, by Gains
borough, 1 6 years ago was doubtless the
work of an nrtistio kleptomaniac, for
the picture can do tho thief no good but
excite bis admiration. The portrait was
in the possession of the Messrs. Agnow,
the picture dealers of London. It had
been on exhibition, and the Agnow gal
leries hnd been crowded. One morning
tho frnmo stood empty. Tho painting
had been cut out, .nnd no ono knows to
this dny where Gainsborough's Duchess
of Devonshire is.
"Some dishonest lover of art is gloat
ing over the picture in private. Tho por
trait is vnluod at t.r0,000.
"That painting by Gainsborough, bo
sidos being an nrtistio relic, is also his
toric, as tho painting was made just
when tho bcoutiful Duchess of Devon
shire had been the means of turning
the political tido of England. Pitt nnd
Fox wcro rival candidates for parlia
ment. It was demonstrated that tho
eloction would bo narrowed down to the
voto of nn elderly fnt butcher. Tho
butcher intended to voto for Pitt. Tho
Duko of Devonshire tried every means
including a bribe, to influenco tho fat
butcher to voto for Fox, but tho butcher
wns obdurnto. Then tho beautiful rtuch
ess said to him:
" 'Is thero nnything I cuu do for you
If yon will voto for Fox?'
"'Yes,' answered tho butcher. 'If
yon will kiss mo, I will voto for Fox.
"Tho duchess kissed tho fat butcher.
Fox was clectod, and tho political com
plexion of England was changod. It is
related that tho Duchess of Devonshire
told the story to Gainsborough when sho
was posing for her picture.
The collector of valuable etchings or
engravings must bo as constantly on tho
alert for counterfeits as is the bank
cashier for forged chocks or counterfeit
bills or the jeweler for false diamonds.
Some dealers have suffered heavy losses
because of tlioir inability to distinguish
between an original and a oonnterfoit
etching or engraving. Quick wit and a
wide knowledge of the history of etch
ings reoently saved Frederick Keppel,
the art doaler of this city and Paris,
nearly 1,000 marks in Berlin. The ool
lection of etchings of the late Baron Op
perm an was sold at auction, and dealers
from all over the world attended the
sale at Berlin.
Mr. Keppel bought an impression of
Rembrandt a Christ before Pilate, en'
titled the "Great Ecoe Homo, " paying
1,400 marks, or $3S0, for the etching.
Just after the sale a well dressed gen
tleman said in French to Mr. Keppel:
"Sir, I presume yon are stranger in
Berlin. I am a native of the city, and
I am mortified to see yon so badly cheat
ed today. I wish to make yon all the
restitution I can. You paid 1,400 marks
for that etching. The price is far too
high, but to compensate yon for your
loss I will soil yon a genuine etching
for 1,000 marks."
Mr. Keppel knew his etching to be
genuine. Mr. Keppel saw that the man
was playing a game of high comedy,
but he said he would like to see the
etching. When Mr. Keppel reviewed
the etching, he said:
"I will give yon 6 marks for the etoh
lug. " When tbe man found he bad been
eaught in his game, he simply said:
"Preuei le, " and Mr. Keppel took the
counterfeit, which he afterward gave to
the purchaser of his genuine etching.
The counterfeit, which was made by
Solomon Savry, can only be told from
the original by the difference In the
drawing of one of the bands in the etch'
lng.
The only difference between the orig
inal nnd tho counterfeit of Albert Dn
rer's celebrated etching "Melancholia"
is tho form of n ward on ono of severnl
kys banging from a flguro's girdln.
Though smaller than n pinhenri, the
flaw represents a difference in price of
several hundred dollars. New York

THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN.
Bo Wat Favnrcil by Itnln t'ntll (tin Mnnnrf
Drowned llhn Out.
Tho retired Icftf fielder wns telling the
Story. "Hank MuKinnis, " be said,
"wns tho greatest first baseman 1 ever
seen. Ho could play tho bag outer sight
when ho wns a mind to, but he wns the
laziest man in 27 counties, mid be
didn't play no ball when ho could git
onten it. .Ho wns nllays turiiin up with
a spiked foot or a split thumb or some
thin of tho kind, nn gim rally made out
to lay off inoro'n half the time. Tho
summer wo were playin in Hie Western
loaguo wo struck n manager who was
onto Hank's curves. Ho took him to
ono side, when the season begun nn tol
him that ho wouldn't stand no graft.
Ho marked out to him that if ho didn't
piny every day ho 'votilil git lnid off nn
lose his pay. Sore Let is nn thumbs wns
barred.
"Hunk, bcin '..ziei thnn ever that
year, was conslderh'il ftirrcd up about
this. Ho didn't L..-.. mi likin to piny,
but ho wns hot after llio long green, nn
he kep' playin along nn kickin liko a
bny steer all tho time. Finally ho got a
couplo of day' lay off nn went to hco
his mother, so ho said. Ho got back on
time an complained of being sick, but
the manager tol him t' git inter th'
game or lose 20 cold plunks, nn he got
in. Nex day we couldn i play. There
was a big rain. Jus' before the timo
t' call tho game on tho day after that
thoy vns another big rain.
"An it went on liko this fer a straight
80 days. It would allays rain jus' bo
fore the game, whether we wns homo or
way. Hank he got fat loafin around
an was on first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out soinu
of tho men to reduce expense, an Hank
got tho run. Then tho rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done
so's he could git his money without
workin? Seems he knewsomethiu aliout
rainmakin, an when ho took that trip
home he got his chemicals together an
didn't do a thing but mnko rain every
afternoon jus' before the game." Buf

Tort Loulu, Mauritius,
From tho sea Port Louis has a pictur
esque and oriental aspect, but tho streetH
are less so than one imagines. They are
wide and resemble those of Cnpo Town.
Numerous European shops also lino their
fronts.
Lying behind tho town is tho Champ
do Mars. It is used as a place of nmuso
mcnt, and opening into it are tho streets
of Burbon nnd Cordcrio, whilo to the
left of tho quays is tho bazaar or market
plnco. It is surrounded by an iron rail
ing, has several gates leading to tho
principal streets and is divided into
two equal parts by t arquar street
A broad avonuo also traverses its en
tire length, lined on cither side by cov
ered sheds, whero tho wares nro exposed.
Fruit stalls occupy tho upper end, and
hero is exhibited a marvelous variety,
a collection that would make the fruit
sellers of the west mad with envy.
Plantains in groat yellow heaps are sido
by sido with custard apples, alligator
pears, mangoes, pineapples and othors
too nnmorous to mention. Mangoes nro
tho most esteemod by Europeans. The
lower market contains tho butchers'
shops, whero fowl, fish and kid are
conspicuous. All the Year Round.
Th Mantle of Charity.
It is the one garment the fashion of
wheh never changes, writes Ruth Ash-
more in Ladies' Home Journal. The
years may go and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at ouoe
happy hersolf and tho giver of happi
ness. In cut it never changes. It is al
ways largo and full, so that it can en
velop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, it is invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made dear by faith. It is the
garment that I would like my girls to
wear. It is true that muoh patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is pnt on, as it should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
of joy to be got from it and the happy
heartbeats to the wearers of it cannot
possibly be overestimated.
Girl BablM of Sicily.
In some parta of Sicily the birth of a

obliged to dower the bridegroom, they
are looked upon as expensive luxuries.

$1,000 A SHOT.
It Is Economical, Alter All, If Con.lili'rcil
l'ropurly.
One thousand dollars a shot is rather
expensive shooting, but when you come
to figuro it out you will find that it is
not quite as much in proportion as $100 '
shot under certain conditions. 1 ho old
smooth bore cannon, short in barrel aud
short in tho breach, had to be trained
with tho greotest patience and care oil
the object aimed at and if the 100
pound ball didn't, land exactly whero it
was intended it did very little harm.
With tho big pneumatic gnu at Bandy
Hook it is impossible to mnko a miss.
You just touch her off at $1,000 per
touch, and if the projectilo drops within
one-sixth of a mile of whero it was in
tended to drop there is immodinto and
serious trouble and in all probability no
necessity for tho expenditure of another
dollar on that particular target. It costs
more to firo tho big Krupp gun than it
does our dynamite gun, but tho execu
tion bears no comparisou. One hundred
galling guns, fired at short intervals for
ono hour, would cost $10,000. Even if
tho object shot at was within range tho
shooting would not bo ono-tenth ns ef
fective as tho shooting of tho Sandy
