Hess Locked Up on Two Grave { Charges. _____ i Handrtlff<*d hv thA rtf th? fAiii-toan. year-old girl he had tared from home with ( the promise of a silk dress and an auto- ( mobile, ex-Policeman Theodore Heas was ( brought back to New York last night from his hiding place In Baltimore. Neither the automobile nor the silk dreas had been bought to repay the little child , lor ner uieiong ana unknowing sacrince. "Oh. I do not love him," she sobbed. "Qlve ' me back to my mamma." And Hess, dragged to Judgment by the letter he had written from hiding to his deserted wife, slouched past the outgoing platoon of his former "fellow-officers." who sneered and would not look him in the face, and was placed in a cell in the West 145th street station, charged with abduction. An hour later, in the office of the Gerry ' Society, where Elizabeth Grady was taken, her father, maddened with anger at the crime against his daughter, and llung Into piteous tears at the sight of the different ' gin who clung, begging for forgiveness, about his neck, heard the story of the outrage from her own lips. "He s.iid iniuner didn't want me at home ' any longer." sobbed the girl, -'and he told me he would buy me fine dresses and a pony and automobile and. papa, that's how 1 he made me go away with him." She wept throughout her tale. The girl was dressed as Detectives Becker and Meckert had found her in the poor, bedraggled flat at Baltimore early in the day, in a brown plaited skirt that hung to her lieels, a badly worn and crumpled shirt waist, a little cross-tie that her i mothpr had irlvptl nn fnnrtoanfh i birthday, and plain black shoes. The hair that Mrs. Grady used to tie In little "pigtails" was done In a high, old-looking knot | at the top of her head; all the lissomeness i of her young girlhood was gone from her face. She would have been taken for twen- ] ty Instead of fourteen; no one would know | her from the pictures which had been taken ( only a few months before Hess stole her , from her home. \ "I am so glad to be back with you." she j said. "I will never run away again. If ( you'll take me home, papa. That man could make me go with him whether I wanted to or not. He used to come to the house to see you, and I used to meet him j when he sat on his big horse In the street In front of the hotise. "One day he met me with another girl ] and he sent her away so he could talk ] to me. He said he loved me. He said mamma was tired of me at home and would be cruel to nie.. when 1 erew a little 1 older. He said he had lots of money and ' could buy me all the things I wanted In > the world. j "That day he bought me a box of candy and told me that I must go away with him ' then. I knew he had a wife and some babies, and I told him I couldn't go. But i he said that didn't make any difference < and that you would whip me if I didn't I obey the policeman. i "Mamma had sent me out to confession, < and I was on my way, but instead I went i with him." t Hess is a mere wreck of the dapper < mounted policeman who carried off Lizzie i Grady six weeks ago. As he shambled ( into his old police station manacled to i Lieut. Becker, he looked twenty years < oiacr anu very lonorn. a sanuy rnus- : tache, hardly more than a line of red, was his only attempt at disguise. "I wouldn't have been caught only I wrote my wife a fool letter from Baltimore. I suppose she was mad and told about It to the police." he said. Capt. Kruescher, before whom he was arraigned, nodded. The letter, given over to the police by the angry woman's friends, it is said, was the clue which led to his detection. "Well, It's all up. anyway," the prisoner added. "I don't know why I ran away with Lizzie, except that I'd been dreaming about her for months every night, and i I thoueht X couldn't live without her. I erot loving her more than I loved my wife, and it shows I loved her when I gave up my family and home and position and went to working for her In a Baltimore livery stable, doesn't it?" Sleep. From the Chicago Chronicle. In a recent issue of the Pall Mall Gazette are some remarks about sleep which are interesting and important and which are in accordance with the general belief of mankind, and yet which seem to require modification. One of these Is that people require less sleep in old age than at any other period of life, and the other Is that the sleep enjoyed in the early hours c of the night is the most refreshing and is s properly called "beauty sleep." It is as- e tonishing that any physician or any per- v son with powers of close observation t should believe that people need less sleep t in old age. If they had noticed the habits t of old people more closely they would have c observed that the pecull!irity--of old people , in regard to sleep is that they need it "lit- j, tie and often." Every elderly person who a has the leisure and the means takes a few hours of sleep during the night and takes a few more during the day?perhaps more *1. * V. . Jr. .. ??T 4 ? 1, nnll limn um:o uutuig Lite uay. unite anu j, often" Is the most marked characteristic of old age not only In regard to sleep but in regard to eating and perhaps other bod- f ily habits. g It may be that children under sixteen v years old require less sleep than infants, but the greatest sin committed against v childhood consists in interfering with Its 1 sleep. It Is considered Indolence for them j to lie abed and they are frequently roust- a ed out of bed in the morning to teach them Industrious habits. Tljere could be s no greater wrong done them. They ought c to be driven to bed early and then allowed a to sleep until they prefer to get up. The rude interruption of their sleep in the h morning Inflicts an injury on their nervous t systems which follows them through life <] and affects not only their health but their v Intellectual and moral character.* t . , 0 FUR THIEVES' BUSY TIME. ? 1 Nabbing Garments on Their Way to a Storage a Specialty of Crime. ? From the New York Sun. Now is the time when the thieves who a make a specialty of nabbing fur garments ? on their way to storage are specially active. |. They have another harvest time in the au- t tumn, when these garments are returned n to the owners and when people are buying new furs. Sometimes these articles are sent back f and forth In the wagons of the storage house, and the thieves, of course, know ,j their wagons. The less valuable furs are d often sent back and forth by express. The thieves easily recognize a package address- s ed to a fur dealer or bearing his mark as g likely to be valuable. g They are on the lookout for just such packages. Sometimes the package 1s In- h sured by the express company. In which case it Is carried In a locked receptacle and . is less likely to be lost. " All the fur dealers have queer stories to i. tell of theft. A good many years ago a 5 woman attendingr a reception at a private house found that her costly fur wrap had ? been taken by one of the other guests. The circumstances Indicated that It was a case J of theft rather than of mistake. She went to consult the furrier who mad* " the garment. He promised to be on the ll lookout for It, but gave the owner smaii rJ encouragement to hope that the thing would 11 turn up. Through a sort of stupidity the woman who had taken the garment did send it to that very furrier to be refashioned. His F mark had been removed from the loop of the garment, but when the lining was taken tl out and the inside of the skin was laid bare . there was written the whole history of the article. A few gentle hints were given, and a the garment got back to the owner without K further scandal. tl Now the professional fur ti. eves know si better than to take a garment to a fashionable furrier. They know that on the Innerside of the skin is recorded its whole history from the time it left the hands of r the trapper to the time It reached the wearer. So stolen garments that are to be refashioned go to obscure furriers, who ask no d< questions. They must learn a good many odd secrets, but after all, they persuade lc tiemselves that the question of true ownerhip la not one for them to trouble about. Furs of Rood quality are so permanent i value that they are favorite objects of lunder. They are easily transformed also n such fashion that they cannot be lden- i Ified by the owners. A mere matter of estiaplngr or dyeing makes them utterly nlike their former selves, and the furriers re vastly resourceful In these respects. BLUCHER IN PARIS. )ld Soldier Wanted to Destroy Many Oblects Dear to th* French TT#??rt:. 'mm the I.nn<Ion Standard. The pleasant story, just brought to light. >f Humboldt's successful intervention to lave the Jardln des Planus from the wrath )f Blueher. serves as a reminder that that tough old soldier needed many humane advisers to keep him from destroying objects iear and Important to the French. Wellington had often to intercede with him. and that not Invariably with Immediate success. He resolved to blow up the bridge of Jena. Wellington protested "But the French destroyed the pillar at Roabach. and an on." crumhlpH Rln/?hnr 'and the English burned Washington." Wellington, seeing that words were Ineffective, placed English sentries on the bridge, believing that the Prussians would not make any attempt on the structure while these men were In position. Hut they did. They mined one of the pillars and put In a charge of gunpowder and tire 1 it. The A?nU^A<l a biiai cApiuuru in illf w i >>iik WflJ, it I HI damaged the Prussians, leaving the bridge Find the Englishmen on tO|> In safety. Tills flavins failed. Rluoher sought permission to demolish the column in the Place Venflome. The Klni* of Prussia arrived only Just In time to prevent It. Wellington managed better when dealing airect with the French. An almost unexampled lnstarce of his chivalry was forthcoming In the movements preceding the battle of Orthez?the only battle in which he received an injury. The French had retreated over the bridge of the Gave lu Pau. and wen preparing to blow it skyhigh. The duke realized that if this were Jone it would cat Be great injury to the people of Orthez. so he sent an officer to Soult with a message. A battle would doubtless take place on the rollowing day. he said. and he promised that if Souit would spare the bridge the British army would not cross by it. Soult had felt reluctant to consent to the destruction. for the bridge was on French territory, and he vrlllingly took his rival's word and left it Intact. Wellington kept his promise. He led his men, under a fieavy fire, across the river by way of the Fords, and the bridge stands to this day. Condition of Sailing Vessels. 'pon the Outing Magazine. The passing of the square-rigger does not portend the extinction of sailing craft, [ "ar from It. ' It simply emphasizes tlio fact that upon the sea. as on the land, the forces of evolution are at work, and that ships seem fated to pass into history along with other utilities that were good enough in their day. but are unable to meet present requirements. In the schooner, or fore-and-aft-rigged esse!, the square-rigger has a worthy successor, and one that seems destined to indefinitely retain a prominent place In the carrying trade of the country, in spite >t steam aggression. In glancing at tlie statistics for the last ten years, we cer:ainly find much encouragement for vessels >f this type. Whereas ship-rigged vessels suffered a decrease during this period of )ver 50 per cent, schooners held their own. xuu Lius in ui Liir ittci umi in iiic iame Interval several hundred fore-andifters, some dating; back as far as 1830, ;ave up the ghost and were removed from :lie maritime lists. From 1894 to 1904, 379 schooners and 187 schooner-rigged barges were constructed, i total of 540. as against 2tK> steamers for the same period. Within recent times the lverage size of our schooners has nearly doubled, increasing from 359 to 502 tons burden. There are now upon the lists a total of 1,523 seagoing schooners, aggregating 704,806 tons. Turbo-Electric EnHnM for ShlnsP 'Tom the Scientific American.

The >resent Indications are that the marine enfine of the future will he either the steam urbine of the perfected producer-gas online, with a strong probability that the later, because of Its excellent fuel economy, vill be the preferred type. There Is, however, a third system of provision which theoretically, at least, has so nuch to recommend It that we should not >e surprised to see It given a trial In one of he larger ships.

A large Ice-breaking plant Is carried, and set of gigantic condensers capable of supilying a whole fleet with fresh water.

"It will yet bring greater blessings if rightly used. We are so far removed from the carnage, the agony and bereavement, that we may now, with great propriety, give more heed to tlia lessons that God manifestly intended to teach us by that ordeal of peril and sacrifice. "What caused the war and how much did it cost are questions well settled. They are of the dead past, except so far as they continue to be admonitions for the future. Besides, the triumphs that came to the sml that suffered for his people and his .ig<? are, through God's inscrutable wisdom, grarnered where neither moth nor rust dot h corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. "What did we gain by war, however, is nn enduring problem. And while Appomattox shall be my theme. It shall l?e so only to bring Into plainer view the hope It should kindle and the inexorable demands it makes upon our people and our country. "The republic has come to the summit of Its greatness through sacrifice, our fathers gave u? muepenaenee ana consequent freedom. To reach the victorious field of Yorktown they needs must come by way of Valley Forge. Appomattox was reached by the Bull Run route, and Its Joys were chastlned by the agonies of Libbey and Salisbury." "Ah! well It Is for man that God, who giveth us the victory in things temporal a? well in thinirti snirinml thmnu-i, hath ordained that every drop of blood shed by man for man shall be garnered for the common weal In the ages to come. We stand today a nation regenerated and disenthralled, because we first became strong with struggling. We fervently love our liberty because, as Lincoln said, 'it la a costly Jewel." "The Jewel of liberty of which I.tnroln spoke, and for which he died, is borne In earthen vessels. Eternal vigilance alone can shield it from the wreck of common things. Strange is the paradox, that In the greatest prosperity, as we tn general measure prosperity, this Jewel Is in most imminent peril. Tyranny never retrenches nor sleeps. His chains are ever forging. Hi* minions from age to age grow stronger with struggling. Forty yefers ago. you. comrades, saiil in your hearts, tyranny in the republic is dead; henceforth liberty and equality shall abide, unvexed and unhindered, ever more." "God grant that in all coming time every human right may be vindicated without the shedding of blood." "America" was sung by the audience. W. H. Honn, chaplain, pronounced the benediction.

Seagast, Sarah McMillan, assisted by all members of the corps, then proceeded to decorate the graves In all tho fnur r I Exhausted Mines of Acheen. From the South China I'oat. The richness of Acheen in gold is now a thing of the past. About three centuries ago the metal was so plentiful there that travelers and historians made special mention of the fact, and sultana are credited with having accumulated large quantities of the ore. But the mines have been worked out, although a number of natives continue making a living out of the industry by working river sand. The Dutch authorities in Acheen thought at first that the mines could be developed into a source of revenue, and sent out prospecting parties to the district of Woyla, which was reputed to abound in gold. The people were so hostile that the prospectors had to be guarded by armed escorts. The searchers found that tlia rivers of Woyla did contain gold, but that it would not pay to work the finds by mod ern methods.. Japanese Opinion of American Dress. from the Housekeeper. A Japanese girl and an American girl were having an amusing time at a Japanese home In Tokio. one evening, dressing in .no another's clothes; the Japanese girl arraying herself In an American evening gown, and the American girl In a ceremonial klmona. The first Instinct of the Japanese rHrl wan tn mtff ur* In or nurlr r? f tha gown and pull down the sleeves; and tha American girl's Impulse w;is to pull the kimona smoothly around the waist and hips, just exactly where It should have folded over. Then they started to assist each other, each one protesting firmly against certain principles the other demanded as essentia! to correct dressing. But even when finished there was something radically wrong with the ensemble; and the girls, after hypocritically Insisting that the other looked beautiful, sat on tho matting and laughed. "I feel very strange." said O-Take-Sm. "I feel funny." said the American girl "I think you are very tight where we are loose." said O-Take-San again. "The Idea of making your waist the broadest part of you!" laughed the American girl. "I feel." said O-Take-San. solemnly, * as though my kimona were falling off," as she Indicated the cut of her waist and the fullness of her skirt. "Do you always feel cold like this when you wear such dress?" she queried, as she ran away to the mirror again, giggling In a very feminine way. When she came back to bo helped out of the imprisoning hooks and eyes, she gave her ultimatum on the subject of American clothes. "I think." she said, reflectively, "that the American uress is k?'M i<> nave no neavy jbl: but I think It not good to be told and to be tight. And I should not like to feel stiff like board and wear such many skirts." Fertile England. from I ho Loudon National Keilew.
