Alleged Wunlilngtmi Incident Ilcpresentetl ns Ottitrritig In l.oniltiii. A curious coincidence which came to no. tlce Inst week seems to show that the well known writer of detective stoilcs, Jlr A. Conan Dovle, either got some ot the ma terial for his latest story while on his re cent visit to this cits, or elso the incident elated was an experience common to at least two persons, ta)s the Washington stur. It will be remembered that Jlr. Do) le. In his stor), represents one ot his characters, who Is a thief, giving an ac count of his stealing a pocketbook from a lud)'.s pocket. The thief states that ho was In n London omnibus, seated near a. young lad), and while he was endeavoring to appropriate her purse, and his hnnd -Btis still In her pocket, the lady rose abruptly to leave the Juts, nnd he had hardly time to get his hand out of her pocket without detection He discovered thnt In drawing his hand out In a hurried manner a valu able diamond ring, which he hud recently purchased, had slipped over his linger nnd iemalned In the lady's pocket. He found that there was onlv a small sum of money In the pin so That much for the sloiy ns related by Conan Dovle and as no doubt read with great Intciest b) the leadeis ot this paper. Here comes in the coincidence: At least thiee da)s before this story wus printed a. tcpiesentatlve of file Star wns told by a friend a curious Incident which had come to him from a reliable somce It was the Connn Do)le storv as above given, with the. exception that the lady jiv.is represented as having come out of the tieusuiy depart ment nnd getting on a street car In front of thnt building Sho carried In her hand a plethoric looking pocketbook and after ply ing her fare she placed It In her pocket. She rode down town, and, leaving the car, went Into a store to make n purchase, whero she tllscovnetl for the first tlmo thnt her pocketbook was gone. She found. however, in her pocket a diamond ring, and wns told by an expert to whom sho exhibited the ring thnt It wns worth JK0. Her pocketbook contained $ii1o In money and te largo number of samples of dress goods. The nbove are facts and the reader Is left to make his own explanation of what will be acknowledged to be at least a sin gular coincidence. ItPSsIAN TltAITS. An llnglMi Writer Hots Not I.'utcrlnln a flood Opinion or tlio far' People, The Itusslins aro lay and effeminate; In the winter they seldom walk, nnd when they do so they crawl along, rntillled up in fins, and do not move with any briskness. One sees a great man) mllltniy oiltcers In JInscow, sn)s the Westminister Itovlovv, and their want of smartness Is noticeable. Numbers are nlwa)s to bo seen lounging nbout tho hoiilevnids wllh thilr hands in the pockets of ihelr gray oveicoates. Theso boulevard warriors do not look veiy for midable. Tho Cossacks aro dirty looking rulllans, badly dressed nnd mounted on small horses, which arc said to bo excellent animals, possessing wonderful staying power I was tuld by nn oilleer that tlm Cossacks have degenerated very much and have been spoiled by being turned Into regulars. The Cossacks of the Don espec ially have deteriorated, but thoso of tha Caucasian regions uro lino soldiers. One of the worst characteristics of thn Itusslins Is their dishonesty in trade. In Moscow, even In many of tho best shops, one has to bargain for purchases, ns a much higher nrlco than Is expected Is al wa)s asked. In this way foreigners In Jloseow no doubt frequently piy three or four times the necessaiy price for articles. In the same wu) ono bus (o bargain for over) thing, and this. In my opinion, con stitutes ono of tho most disagreeable things connected with lllo in ilussla. One nlw,i)s Imagines that one Is being swindled, and too frequently, no doubt, the Idea Is not a vain one. That the Ilusslans are a dirty people Is well known; very few houses have even a. footbath In them, and. although there aro line public baths, the Itussiuns, even of tha upper clisses, seldom make use of them. Indeed 1 believe the loner orders are cleaner In this respect, Itiiniii for Argument.
