Thief catchers like tho veteran Joé Knox, for instance, cannot ply - thelr vocation with any deégren of sue- oens for any length of time in a large and flonrishing dry goods house. ‘This fs because of the fact that their identi- tios become known to the dry goods thief after a time, and it goes without saying that the shoplifter will not begin operations until all danger of discovery from that quarter has passed away. The professional shoplifter is as familiar with the fizare of the insppotor as she is "with hitr own likeness For this reason wnassuming and onsophisticated maid. _ ens arg put un the qui'vive to ferret out wily shoplifters and bring them to - speedy retribution. The girls assigned "to predecute detective labor are well adapted for the work mapped out for ‘them.

If she is lacking in acuteness and fails to perform her work satisfao- very; another is substituted in her stead wd the benighted one is given a posi- tion in the store Nor does the competent detective de- pind entirely upon her wits in deter. mining who is & shoplifter and who is not.

A Unizn Soldisr Killed In Battle Returns After Nearly Thirty Years and Is Recog- nized by His Family—Clslmant Not Sus- tained In Court. The United States supreme court has just handed down final decision in a lo- gal dispute over a question of identity, which is the most remarkable in the history of law, outdoing even the fa. 1aous Tichborne casa. It is the story of a Union soldier who was killed and buried on the field of battle, yet who was resurrected and rejoined his family and friends. Few tales of fiction approach in in- terest this romance of a real Enoch Ar- den, whom cruel fate relegatod to a PRBBBIEY. On April 6, 1862, William Newby, private in an Ilinois regimnt, was killed and buried on the fleld of Shiloh. At all events, no question of the fact was raised for nearly 30 years Hoe left in the town of Carmi, and a mother. Nearly four years ago a man walked | into Carmi, hatless and by no means well clad, and announced that he was Newby, the lost soldier. Nobody recog- nized hin: at first, and this was not sur- prising aftor such a lapse of time. But be talked with old residents of the place and recalled so many antewar incidents, with reminiscences of persons and places, that finally they were convinced of his identity. He explained that ho had heen shot in the bead and Jeft on the battlefield. Afterward he recovered songoionsness and was made a prisoner, being taken to Libby prison. Being partly deprived of reason by his wound, he spent many years im THE CLAIMANT. southern poorhouses until at length he landed in the almshouse at Taylors- villa, Ills, where he came to himself again and remembered who ho was Now, it ia quite true that ho was for a time in the almshonso at Taylorsville There he mes en old man named Joseph Newby, brother of the William who fought at Shiloh. This aged pauper was rather garru- lous and bad many stories to impart about his brother William, the history of the family, incidents respecting old residents of Carmi and its nnighbor- hood, ete. Incidentally it was made to appear that Willian, if he wero alive, would be entitled to $20,000 in pension arrears. The new acqnaintance listen +d until he was chock full of information. Then ‘he declared to the astonished Joseph | that he was in very truth his long Jost brother, William Nawby. This part of the story did nit come out until Jater. Meanwhile friendly citizens of Carmi sent to Tennessee for Williara Newby's wife. She came, but at first repudiated the alleged lost sol- dier. Nevertheless he succeeded in per- suading her fully of liis identity, while ‘his supposed mother recognized him al- moet immediately as her son. Presumably there would never have been any forther dispute in the matter, and the soi disant Newby would have received the $20,000 pension money for which he at onca applied had it not been that he was accidentally recognized by an ex-convict, who declared thas he bad met him in the penitentiary at Nashville, where he was known as Rickety Dan Benton and was serving an 18 years’ sentence for horse stealing.

THE SWEET, SAD LOVE STORY OF THE GREAT PREACHER. The Struggle Between His Affection Por Sophia Canston and What He Believed to Be His Deligious Duty Partisans of Pach Side Took Active Parts. It was at the house of Governor Ogle- thorpe in the early days of Georgia, says a writer in the Boston Herald In the evening Sophia Canston was there, and the general had her sing for them some old Jove songs of England and Scotland, and smatches from the operas of London. Sbe danced, too, and’ recited, and oompletely overwhelmed the pious youth with her beauty and acoomplishmenta That nights, under the palmetto trees neay the governor's house, with the dark eyed, handsome girl beside him, and with her entrancing volce in his ears, with the Cypress wine and Grimali’s decoction hot in his blood, John Wesley became aware thas he loved her. The revelation was a shock to him, for he hud been preaching celibacy since he was a small boy. He had felt him- golf wedded to the church to his great faith and mission in life. ¥ihe strife of spirit threw him into a fever. Miss Canston did the only thing that a young lady ih her state of mind could do. She nursed him, and he allowed her to. This circumstance was sufficient proof to their friends that marriage was certain. If more proof was needed, he ‘raved of her in hisdeliriom. Miss Can- ston brought her aunt to hear him, and between them they fancied him quite decided to marry Sophia. He asked her | many times if she would or could marry hin, * ‘and if ho should indeed marry her.’ He went through with the mar- riage ceremony of the Church of Eng- and, for ths benefit of imagénnry cou- ples who stood at his bedside. WESLEY'S ROMANCE. | AERIAL. NAVIGATION. The Theory of Professor Wellner's Sant : Wheel Flying Machine. The essence of Professor Wellner's in- novation is his invention of the sail wheel. It conwists of a horizontally placed axis with spokes and arched aeroplanes attached to them in a cylin: drical form. While revolving round the axis the latter take a slightly slanting of these surfaces to be inclined, and con- saquently to compress the air in the way of a gail or a kite, calling into play the vertical force. Threeribs running across each. lifting surface and wads in the form of a screw at the same time serve tH strengthen the aeroplanes and to add to the horizontal force. ‘These sail wheels set in pairs can be placed, according to the size of airship aimed at, in one or more groups of two wheels, revolving in opposite directions, behind or beside each other. The cigar shaped car, furnished with a motor and oarrying the aeronauts, is attached hori- sontally under the center of the wheels, #0 that the whole construction will re. semble a colossal bird, propelled, in- stead of by wings, by revolving wheels, the lifting surfaces of which aro con seontively and constantly developing vertical and horizontal power. The bird's movements in flying and the speedy headway motion necessary to the kite flying machines for their support in the air are in Professor Wellner's in: vention changed to a rotary motion This comstruction, while permitting of an easy, Flow nscent, assurea the hori. gontal position and constant stability of the airship, at the same time permitting of » high velocity. ; ‘The more the latter is increased the stronger is the lifting power developed. The direction is given by a rudder at the endl of the ship or by increasing the velocity of the sail wheels on ore side only. It is the peculiar quality of these wheels that they do nok, as might be sapposad, dispersa the air around them They rather attract it toward their rap- After his recovery Wesley's friends | camo to Congr: atalate him on ‘his engage- | ment.

Many mills creditable to the ingenuity of the builders have been devised to per- form a number of operations in very small space, comprising rolls and sepa- rators, and also several pairs of rolls in one frame. In the wheat cleaning room ths tendency has been to use more ma. chines than formerly and to clean the wheat better. The flour as it comes from the reels is now packed with great rapidity and exactness, and the bran in some of the larger mills is compressed into half the former space by a machine that will pack 40 tons a day. In short, the whole improvement hos been on the line of smaller machines with greater capacity, taking less room, moi GERMAN afiMY MARRIAGE.
