I had a gentleman friend from Philadelphia who visited me in Staunton, and read to me an account of the expertness of the female shop-lifters in tho large business houses of Philadelphia and New York. I fell to thinking over tho matter till linall' I got tho notion that I would try my hand at it just to see whether I could take anything without being detected not with the idea of stealing, but just to see whether I had the skill and audacity that they possessed Well, I came hero two weeks ago. I had money to make my purchases with, but I went from one large store to another picking up any little trifle that took my fancy. I took everything to my hotel, and have it there now. I did not remove the price marks, and I can nick out the goo is which I got from each store. I decided to give a supper at the hotel and invite the superintendents and head ladies from each store from which 1 had taken anything to meot me, and I intended to ask each lady to identify her own goods, and return them to her. And, by the way. I had decided to do that very thing to-morrow night. I would not us3 the goods for myself. I have an abundance without them.

Girl Sleeps with Bead and Feet Touching Each Other. Worcester, Mass., April 2. There is a girl in this city who can sleep only with her body bent backward into a circle and her feet crossed nnder her chin. This may seem incredible, but it is absolutely true. The girl is now eleven years old. When she was four she had an attack of cerebrospinal meningitis, which left her spine as limp as a piece of rope. She can stand erect only by taking hold of something higher than her head, "he is Alvina Goodnow, tho daughter of a French iron-molder, living at No. 20 Central street. When a reportersaw the girl yesterday sho was crawling and wriggling about on the kitchen floor of tho tenement where her parents live. As she twisted -her head from side to side her black eyes and her constant undulations fairly made one feel that he was looking at a human snake. The girl is intelligent and has full possession of her mental faculties. She speaks English and French with equal facility, and her mother claims that the is "as bright as the average girl of her a je. "Show the gentleman how 3'ou sleep, Alvina." said tho mother. The girl rising to her feet, bent her body backward and without an effort rested her head on tho floor and crossed her feet under her chin. This was repeated several times and then, as a further exhibition of her elastic an atom v, sho lay down Hat on her face and easily touched her ear9 with her toes. Then considering tho interview closed, sho began to devour a huge plate of meal bread and in a few minutes had tucked away in her sup- . plo frame cnongh food to supply a , work-' ing man with a day's rations. Mrs. Goodnow could give no explanation of the strange physical condition of her daughter other than that which has been mentioned above. The best doctors of the city have examined her and have been obliged to confess that it is a phenomenal -case and ono in which they can afford no relief. Last summer Alvina was taken to the i ' hospital, and before a clinic of doctors was photographed in the position she assumes aud the case was decided one of the most remarkable cases known in medical history. Although a carefnl examination of the child's body was made not a mark or blemish could be found upon t. When questioned Alvina said that the various contortions she went through occasioned her no pain and that in fact the only position in which sho could sleep comfortably was with her head and feet in close proximity, cereral museum agents have visited the house and offered largo sums for the privilege of exhibiting the littlo girl, but in every instance they have been refused. Besides Alvina. Mr. aud Mrs. Goodnow have threo children, two girls and a boy, all of whom are in perfect health and aro large and strong. DAILY WEATHER 13CLXETIX. Local Forecasts.

age disappeared as do President W3'gant, of the express company, or President Schneider, of the bank. A detective has been hired to investigate the case, Imt his efforts have thus far been futile.

How the Kesult Is Viewed by a Republican Newspaper The School Law Fight. 3Iiiavaukee, April 2. Republicans in 31ilwaukeo and throughout Wisconsin are amazed to-day at the sweeping victory of the Democrats in the metropolis of the Stato. Tho result is laid to the bitter fight made by the Catholic priests and Lutheran ministers against tho the Bennett compulsory education law. The situation is one of great moment to the Republican party in Wisconsin, and many of the leaders predict defeat next November, if the fight is to bo on the same line as that of yesterday. . The Evening Wisconsin to-day says: "The defeat of the Republican city ticket was not unexpected. By most politicians it was deemed a foregone conclusion, because the Republicans had to meet, singlehanded, a powerful combination in which there were three great factors first, tho Democratic party: second, the Roman Catholic Church, and third, the Lutheran Church. These three factors were united for one common object to vote only for candidates who would commit themselves to the repeal of the Bennett law. Wo take it to bo the firm determination of the Republicans of the State that they will not repeal the Bennett school law as a whole, but will consent to modify or amend its pro visions so that it will be less distasteful to the two churches. But its repeal will not be thought of. The sentiment of tho country is against it, and that sentiment will keep a compulsory English education law on tne statute books. But as the combination demands that the law shall be entirely repealed, the Republicans must choose a standard-bearer for Governor, next November, who will meet the onset and win over this powerful combination. The Republicans, when in convention assembled, will consider it alike a duty and a necessity to select the most influential and the most popular Republican inthepaTty. And that man is John C. Spooner. Ho can defeat all the hosts of this combination and at the same time snstain the patriotic educational sentiment of the State." ' Illinois Township Elections.

Elections wero held in a number of cities and towns throughout Illinois yesterday. In Qnincy the Democrats elected their entiro ticket. At Springfield they elected a majority of the Council and the township .officers of the city. Tho Rock Island Democrats secured a majority of the City Conncil and tho township ticket. In Aurora the Republicans made a clean sweep. In Galesburg the issue was the liquor question, and tho temperance people scored a decided victory. ' In Kansas and Oklahoma. . Topeka, Kan., April 2. Later returns from tho cities in Kansas indicate that, though the women registered their full strength, they took but little active interest in the election and polled but a light vote, excent at Fort Scott, where a large number of women voters electioneered as well as voted with the men. Tho interest centered in the 1 irst ward, where a resubmission candidate was elected. At Kingfisher, O. T., the election passed oft qnietly. The Hon. J. D. 31iles was elected Mayor. Tho name of Lisbon was changed to Kingfisher by the Council at its last night's session. , Rhode Island Election. Newport, R. I., April 2. The new secret ballot law worked easily at the election today, but tho count of the vote takes much longer than usual. Indications are that the Democrats havo carried the city, or that there is -no election for Assemblymen. Twenty-live town and districts, exclusive of the cities, give Davis, Democrat, 5,407; Ladle, Republican, 4,022, for Governor. With one ward vet to be heard from on the State ticket, the Democrats probably carry this city by about S00 majority. The legislative ticket is still in doubt. Good Shooting by Western Men.

There was new development to-day in the fight bo tween tho Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Company and the Louisville Bridge Company. Tho K. & 1. trains have been running over about 125 yards of track belonging to the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway. Since thoj., N. A. & C. has gone back to the Louisville bridge tho K.& I. has feared they would-be deprived of the use of those, and thus shut oil from their freight yards. Consequently they got out an injunction to-day to prohibit the city, the L.. N. A. C. and the Louisville Bridge Company from interfering with their work, and at once began building a track paralleling the L., N. A. & C. for tho 125 yards. They had obtained the right-of-way several years ago. Being unable to stop the building by ordinary means the Louisville Bridge Companv officials ran a number of cars down on the L., ' N. A. & C. track and wrecked them, so as throw the debris in the road of the tracklayers. Superintendent A. J. Potter, of the K. & I., was caught under tho wreck and badl", though not dangerously fiurt. Tho K. &L is completing its track to-night. Three Miners Killed and Others Hurt. Wilkesrarre, April 2.
