THIEVES WHO PLUNDER UNCLE SAM'S POST. Three West Virginia Mail Robbers A Colorado Episode—The Last of Ed. Reeves—A Year's Record. At least one picturesque episode marked the capture of three dcsporuto mail robbers in Barbour county, West Virginia. There was in that part of the country, says the New York Sun, an or ganization known as the Red Men. At the beginning it was fairly respectable, being intended for tho purpose of putting down tramps, and included many good citizens. But bad characters got control of it, and it degonerated into a sort of White Caps Society, terrorizing that re gion, whipping prominent persons, and committing murders occasionally. Mem bers of tho association, while engaged in their nocturnal excursions, woro long robes of red stuff, rod hats and red masks in the shape of hoods, so that their appearanco was very awful indeed. Three desperadoes, named Price, Kittle and Hoffman, were tho leaders, and they they took to knocking down postal mes sengers and stealing letters and pack ages. They were hunted down in the mountains, and wero sontencod to long terms of imprisonment. In court the most important witness was the secretary of tho Rod Men, named Brown, whoso beard, measured by the official tape, was 5 feet 1 inches in length, his moustache 4 feet 2 inches. 11l a remarkable robbery near Grand Junction, Colorado, in 1886, highwaymen held up a mail train, having piled tiesoll the track to stop it. They put tho con ductor and fireman out on a pile of rocks alongside tho track and kept them cov ered with guns while they got tho postal clerk and the express messenger and put them under guard likewise. Being con tent with pillaging the express and mail cars, they did not interfere with the pas sengers; but ono Englishman on his travels insisted 011 leaving the car in or der to soo what was going on. When tho porter tried to restrain him, saying that ho would bo killed if ho went out side, he replied: "But I want to observe how the rob a train in this blooming country, don't you know!" Ho went as far as the platform, but a bullet through his hat induced him to retreat precipi tately. Tho four robbers were pursued by inspectors and marshals through Col orado and Utah and woro caught. A gang of highwaymen, lod by tho notorious Ed Reeves, hold up a train on the l'unhandlo road in Texas in 1887. They robbed tho express car, knocking the messenger senseless with a six-shoot er, but tho postal clerk refused to open the mail car in response to their demand. They blew open the door with dynamite and cut open tho pouches. Then they went through tho sleeping cars and col lected watches,rings,diamonds and other vuluablcs from tho passongors. Alto gether it was very thoroughly done, and, besides jewelry, they secured $7,000 in cash. Reeves was captured after a des perato fight, during which 110 was shot five times, and, preferring death to im prisonment, ho offered tho Sheriff SSO to kill him. Five inspectors and deputy marshals lay in wait for Whitley, another desporato member of tho bund, at his house. When he entered they covered him with their guns, but ho opened fire at once and fell, riddled with bullets. One of tho most remarkable I'ost Office robberies on record occurred at Minneapolis in July, 1886. Tho thioves entored through tho stamp window at night, closing the shutter liehind them. Then they broke into tho safe in which tho stamps wero kept, using a diamond drill so quietly that men working close by in the building did not hear them. In front of the safe was a large plate-glass window, but tho cold had covered it with frost, and no one could soo through it. Tho burglars secured 600,000 two-cent stamps and '-00,000 ono-cont stamps, be sides some money, tho whole amounting to tho value of over $14,000. They tried to dispose of their booty thro igh other persons and wero caught in Chicago, $4,078 worth of tho stamps being re covered. During tlio past year 58 Postmasters, 23 Assistant Postmasters, 45 dorks in Post Offices, and fi(> mail carriers wore arrested on charges of dishonesty. Postmasters are exposed to much tempta tion. Sometimes thoy are in tight places financially, and it stums to bo a very simple thing to help themselves out tem porarily by using some of the Govern ment cash. Every dishonest Post Office employee imagines that his method of stealing is new; that ho does it better than any ono ever did it before, and that he can elude detection; but such offenders are caught invariably. They can never toll when they aro being watched or how. All new Post Office buildings are con structed with poop-holes expressly for that purposo. Tho rifling of letters is the most common theft. A clerk was caught ii the act recently at Wilming ton, N. C. lie was so export in dis tinguishing paper money by smell that, after his capture, ho solooted, although blindfolded, seven lotters containing bank notes out of 400 placed before him, in order to satisfy the curiosity of tho inspectors. The method of detecting puper currency by feeling is familiar, as is also that of drawing a thread with a knot on the end of it through a letter, tho knot fetching with it somo of the fibro from the enclosed note. In Charlotte,N.C.,an inspector watched an employee who was stealing from registered lotters. Over tho post-office is an opera house, and tho dotoctive crawled beneath the stage so as to get his eye at a suitable crack, lie saw the man open tho lotters by floating thorn on wa ter, placing thein afterward under a press for the purpose of sealing them with the old inuciluge. So engrossed was the man with his schomo that tho inspec tor was able to walk in, poop over his shoulder, and say: "What havo you got thero, my boy?" "Good Lord! you've got mo," was his answer, as his knees gave way. A clork in tho post-office at Fargo, North Dukota, in October, 1880, asserted that he hud been bound and gagged by two men who entered the building t night, half smothered him with the bed clothes, burned his feet with a red hot poker to compel him to givo the combin ation of tho safe, and shot him. Tho trifling nature of tho wound and the fact that his foot was hardly blistered led to a suspicion that ho had committed tho robbery himself, which was proved by his subsequent confession. What a Flat Wheel Is. "Thoro'B a flat whoel on this truck under this ond of the car," said an Erie official who sat in tho back seat of tho rear car of a passenger train to a Brad ford (Ponn.) Era man. "That must bo taken out. It might wreck the train." "What's a flat wheel?" nsked the scribe. "Listen," said the railroad man. "You hoar that rapid pat-pat-pat of the wheel? That's caused by the flat wheel. On a spot on the surface of the wheel a flat pluco is worn. It may be done, and is generally, by setting up u brake so tight that the wheel slips on the rail. Let it slip but the least, yet a small placo no larger than a silver dollar will be worn on the wheel. The next time the brake is set up hard the wheel stops with that same place 011 the rail, and it is worn larger. By the time it is a couple of inches in diameter it begins to pound every time the wheel turns. Instcud of running a true circle as it re volves, the wheel strikes flat on the rail when the flat spot is reachod. The con sequence is that when the flat spot has grown to bo threo or four inches across it is a very dangerous thing. Every stroke against tho rail by the flat sid6 of tho wheel is liable to break tho wheel and ditch the train." Around the shops and at nearly every cripple track in tho railroad world these flat wheels may be seen. As soon as ono is discovered tho pair of wheels affected is taken out and sent to tho junk track to be cast into now machinery. Tho flat spots are plainly perceptiblo, but they would hardly be judged by the uniniti ated to be of sufficient importance to bo one of the most dangerous elements of railroading, yet such is the case. Docs Tea Make Lunatics? "I never knew of a case where a man or a woman's insanity could be traced directly to tho drinking of tea," said Dr. Brower, of State street, to an Evening News reporter recently, when his atten tion was called to the paragraph in the London Lancet, wherein a woman who murdered their two children was sup posed to be insane through drinking tea to excess. "I have no doubt as to the injurious ness of excessive tea-drinking, and be lieve that with porsons mentally wrong their case is much aggravated by its use. Still, take tea-tasters; I never heard of ono in that business becoming insane, although I havo known many who have wrecked their nervous systems in their calling." Dr. Lyman, of No. 60 Randolph street, said: "Undoubtedly tea-drinking is tho causo of many nervous troubles. It pro duces a chronic indigestion which is cer tainly apt to break down one's system. I believe a porson with a tendency to wards insanity would have his or her con dition seriously aggravated by using tea in large quantities. A wit has made tho remark that tho pessimism of the Russians is largely duo to their tea-drinking habits, and I quite believe it. Still I do notthink insanity would arise from this habit alone. Combinod with other abuses of tho system it certainly would have a disastrous effect and might undoubtedly undermine the in- ' stitution. I believe, as tho Lancet says, that many of tho ailments from which women suffer are at least aggravated by the excessive use of tea."—[Chicago News. Japanese Myths. No people in the world, civilized or savage, believe in tho existence of so many mythical, half-supernatural crea tures as do tho Japanese. For instance, they think there is a wondrous tiger, of more then half-human intelligence, that lives to bo 1000 years old and turns as white as a polar bear. They also believe in a species of fox which, if it lives to be fifty years old without having been chased by a dog, transforms himself into a beatifull women. This same fox, if ho lives to tho ago of 100 years, gains some now powers, among which is that of becoming a wonderful wizard. When ho reaches the age of 1000 years, he becomes a celestial fox with nine golden colored tails, and has the power of going to heaven whenovor ho chooses. They also believe in a multitudo of animals distinguished mainly by their monstrous ' size, or by tho multiplication of their I membors. Among these are serpents 800 I feet long and large enough to swallow an elephant, foxes with eight legs, monkeys ! with four eurs, fishes with ton houds ut ( tached to one body tho flesh of which is a , cure for boils. They also believe in tho existence of a crane which, after it has I reached the ago of 600 years, has no need of any sustenance except water. Their I mythical dragon has tho head of a camel, tho horns of a deer, the eyes of a demon, [ the ears of an ox, tho body of a serpent, the scales of a fish and claws and wings of an euglo.—[Picayune. A Man Saved by a Seabird. A vessel was plowing through the waters of tho South Atlantic when a cry of "Man overboard!" was heard. Tho man at tho wheel brought the ship up in the wind and boats were lowered, but by tho time this was accomplished tho sailor was a quartet ola mile astern. 110 kept up, however, and as the boat approached a big albatross was seen to dart at him, and the next moment to struggle: then away went the bird, flap ping violently,towing the sailor along tho surface. The men had to pull hard to gain upon it, and then it was found that the sailor was uninjured and perhaps had been saved by tho bird. lie was almost exhausted when the albatross flew over him in evident curi osity: as it passed he seized its feet. Tho bird, in its fear and terror, was strong enough to tow him along the sur face at a rapid rate. —[Boston Globe. Their Ear Drums Burst. Tho trial of tho new heavy guns of tho United States monitor Miuntonomoh at Gardiner's Bay, Long Island, was at tended with a most peculiar accident to threo of the officers of that vessel, all of whom had their car drums burst by the concussion following a heavy discharge. Surgeon Kand refused to discuss the sub ject beyond saying that had proper care been exercised the accident would not have happened. As ono of tho first precautions taught in tho navy is to stand on tiptoe with mouth open when hoavy guns are being fired, there was considerable surpriso at tho navy yard upon learning of the acci dent. Unless the injured men had par ticularly sensitive eardrums the accident could not have happened without care lessness on their part. —[New Y'ork Press. Relics of the Revolution.

GLOVE REFORM NEEDED. Undoubtedly the portion of a lady's apparel which most needs to be reformed is her glove. The fingers aro just long enough to cripple the victim by tying her digits to gether at tho second joint. The hand, from tho wrist to tho knuckles, is cruelly squeezed and distorted out of all shape or semblance to a human hand. Attached to tho portion of the wretched aft'air already describod is a great waste of muterial long enough to reach half way to tho elbow and wido enough to encircle tho neck. This flabby and useless part, mortally offensive to the sight, invariably wrinkles down about the wrist, to complete tho woful demonstration of the enslavement of humanity to tyrannical and senseless fashion.—[Buffalo (N.

NEWSPAPERS FOR GIRLS. Miss Clara Conway, principal of the Conway Institute, at Memphis, keops in tho reading-room of her school all the leading newspapers on file, and half of the reading lessons in each class are taken from some ono of theso. At first it was tho custom of Miss Conway to expurgate tho papers—aftor Profossor Rolfe's fashion of treating Shakespoaro—but lately sho has adopted the moro liberal method of opening tho paper in class just as it comes from tho press, and de ponding upon herself on tho moment to make selections. It is a pity Miss Con way's admirable method of teaching the contemporary history of the day is not in general use in schools. It is oven a better plan than requiring children to read a newspaper at homo. At ono of tho fine private schools in this citv oacli class has a bullotin board, and when tho pupils come in tho morning each ono is required to write on tho board an item of news from the morning paper. At ono or two largo girls' schools in Mississippi tho Weekly Picayune is used as a class reader, a compliment that is justly ap preciated.—[New Orleans Picayune. WOMEN AS DOCTORS. The increase of women doctors in Now \ork lately has been so marked us to attract tho attention of tho press of that city to the fact. A great many of them urc now admitted as staff physiciuns to tho dillerout hospitals and dispensaries, and where they aro doing wonderfully good work. Ouo groat advantage that they scorn to have over their rivals of the othor sex is that they can tack out thoir B'gu and then go as professional nurses until busines comes to them. The male doctor often has to starve through a course of a year or two, and then ho frequently fails to make enough to keep tho pot boiling. Women doctors are gen erally proficient nurses, and they are ; trained by nature uud study to cure for ! the sick. I hey can tako 11 patient and j proscribe for him, and then watch by | the bodsido until all is over. At tho end ! double fees urn demanded -the regular doctor's foes for prescribing- and then tho nurse's salary for watching and nursing tho patient according to the pre scriptions mado out by herself. There is, no doubt, but a great advantage is ob tained in this way, and the nurse and doctor arc both held responsible for any mistake. Among babies and women the female doctor has a ftold which si.o is gradually making a specialty,and where, too, it inn}* bo added, she is especially welcomed by those uhochoesoto employ her.--[Chicago Post FASHION NOTES Most of tho new felt hats have shaggy brims. Accordion-pleated skirts aresti!l fush iouablo. Pluck gronudine is embroidered with fine jets. Striped batisto is among the early spring goods, Grenadino having grauuutod stripes of satin is worn. Corded crepons aro used for youthful evening gowns. Black ground China silks wo suitublo for tho ourlv scasou. Thin silk is admirable for lining the French made dress skirts. Chilian ruffling is used for fancy work in place of silk ruffles. Pine-green and swallow-blu< cloths trimmed with Astrucbun form some of I the elegant winter clouks sent from Paris. Many of the dressy bodices for slen der, youthful wearers are sharply pointed and fasten under the arm or else in the back. The Bolero, or Spanish hat of velvel bearing that name, is the very genera accompaniment of the long, stately Rus sian cloaks of cloth trimmed with fur. The peculiar style of some of the winter coats —military in effect —consists in the perfectly trim lit of the shoulders; consequently they are slightly padded. Bonnets made of tweed, Bodford cord, cheviot, cloth or any other wool fubric matching the tailor costume are still in high favor with stylish women both here and abroad. Pretty round hats of heliotrope, sage green, old rose, dahliu, and Venetian brown are made of soft French felt, trim med prettily but economically with a clustor of black ostrich tips and satin ribbon loops. Ingenuity has apparently reached its limit in the designing of millinery orna ments, recourse finally having been had to a diminutive gridiron, a tiny gold hay rake and a pearl-studded harpoon where with to deck bouuets. In garnitures this season tho real nov elties and elegances aro in the form of various kinds of mingled open work and solid embroideries and cut work in vel vet. In the production of embroideries upon cloth and othor fabrics Venetian designs havo been largely followed. Some of the new silks aro woven in raised cord stripes, and also with satin stripos on silk grounds for young girls' evening dresses. Lovely tinted satins strewn with small bouquets of fiowors in natural colors are used for tho bodice and train, the sheath potticoat being of plain satin. A stylish Bubens lmt of black velvet has a medium soized crown that is sur rounderod by a full-pleated rucho of tho velvet, and is lined with scarlet satin. Tho pleating is so urranged that only glimpses of the brilliant color show hero and there. This is all tho trimming there is on the hat, except threo black plumes, short and full, set at tho back among a I number of satin-lined velvet folds. | Many fashionablo women in New York aro for tho moment wearing picturesque round hats which come well over thofuco in preforenco to bonnets or toques of I any sort. Those are really more comfor table (if not so dignified) than a bonnet, as they protect the whole of the head and brow, a mutter of no little importanco theso damp and gusty winter days. The princess dress appears in a now i shape exclusively for tea-gown models. I Tho princess proper, as everybody knows, is high-necked and mado with skirt and bodice in one. Tho new shape, called tho Turkish kaftan in its novel guise, will be worn with a straight open robe or redingoto above, often without sleeves, those of tho oloso under-dress taking thoir placo. India red is tho name given to a now street shade of that color, which appears in cloth and in silk and wool fabrics. It is a beautiful dye, between that of a crimson rose and a rich plum color. It is exceedingly becoming to women both fair and dark, and ono of tho very best shades that tho neutral toned typo could possibly select. Tho color is so deep that it is not in the least conspicuous. Table centres—by which are meant the variously shaped ornamental pieces of needlowork with which it is customary to adorn tho dinner-table—are 110 longer confinod to that placo ulone. Tho da mask cloth removed, tho needlework is replaced, and forms a bright patch of color, which is a roliof from the broad ex panso of the ordinary tablo cover. In tho sitting-room this urtistic patch is also seen. Insanity and Genius. A good deal of comment has been ox citol by tho publication in English of Professor Lombroso's work on "Insanity and Genius." It is a work in which the author claims that genius is the evidonco of a degenorativo taint, and is, in fact, an "epileptoid degenerative psychosis." Wo trust that our readers will not bo made to fool a sense of apprehension concorning their own montal soundness by Profossor Lombroso's thosis, says tho Scientific American. It is ono that has boon worked at befuro by Moreau do Tours and a good many others, and neither the world in goneral nor the niodi cul profession in particular has boon seriously impressed by it. Men of gonius havo not, as a rule, been mad, except with nn insanity of n scientific and schol astic kind, such as the world really needs more of. Tho eccentricities, monomanias, j and emotional exaltations of gonius havo been incidental, mid wore not the basis of thoir character and temperament. Insan ity is essentially u iion-productivo con dition. No insane man has over made a great discovery and originated great thoughts, or, by his own laborious efforts, changed the tide of human events. In sanity is a condition in which the power of adjusting one's golf and ono's conduct to the environment is lost. Surely there is no loss of this kind shown in tho work or genius. Contemporaneous science has dealt somowhat kindly with LOlll - lor the valuable work ho lias done and tho now fields of study ho has opened. But tho Medical Kocord thinks that when 110 nuikosout Newton and Luther insane, and Christ a paranoiac, ono must think that tho professor himself has neither sanity nor genius.

Lord Harrington, who succeeds to the Dukedom of Devonshire, visited this country the war and made himself rather conspicuous here by his strong Southern sympathies.

U4 FOR THE CHILDREN. My little girl suffered for three years from a large Abscess on her hip, the result of a fall and dislocation. The Abscess was large, with six openings, all of which discharged puss. I was induced by friends to give her S. S. S., and by the time the fifth bottle was finished the Abscess was entirely healed, and the child was well and happy.—Mrs. J. WLEGNER, Stating ton, Pa.

The poisonous, irrita ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions, "creams," balms and the like may, perhaps, palliate for a time. But they may drive the disease to the lungs. The wrong way is full of danger. The right way is a proved one- It's with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy. It cures, perfectly and per manently, by its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh. It has proved itself right, thou sands of times, when everything else has failed. And this makes its proprietors willing to prove that it's the right thing for you, no matter how bad your case or of how long standing. If they can't cure your Catarrh, they'll pay you SSOO in cash. They mean it. They're certain of their medi cine.
