DETECTIVES GIVEN SLIP
NOTORIOUS WOMAN AND FEEBLE
MINDED "GOOD FELLOW" NOT
AT ROAD HOUSE WHEN THEY
ARRIVED THERE.
Publishers Press.J
New York, Feb. 1. It was thought;
at an early hour this morning that the long search for George Rhodius, the wealthy Indianapolis rounder, and Alma Dare, the notorious woman who
it is alleged induced him to go through
tne marriage ceremony with her at Louisville was at an end. Plnkerton
detectives located the pair at a roadhouse known as the "Speedway" on One-Hundred-and Eighty-First street,
but when the officers arrived at the
place, they had departed. The much wanted man and woman were accompanied by Police Judge Whallon and
Cass Connaway, a well Known attor
ney and politician of Indianapolis.
Judge W hallon and Connaway are at
torneys for the woman. It was learned that they have been at the road-
nouse with the couple for several
oays. It is understood that the party left the inn after the lawyers had ad
vised Rhodius and his wife to return
to Indianapolis.
Werner Amlet who is Rhodius guar
dian, and who has been directing the . M . t .....
aenrcu tor mm says-tnat the man s
mind Is unbalanced, and that there will be no difficulty in making a case of kidnapping against the Dare woman if she can be apprehended. Only a few months ago she was paid the
num of $3,000 to avoid Rhodius, and
treat him as if dead.

t MAN A RATHER POOF LOT."
mt His Faesrttles Cssiysnc Wit Taoaa of Otker Aalmala. "Man is a vain sort of an animal at all times," observed a thoughtful citizen, "and in his process of naming and classifying., things arouad him he has attempted to leave reminders of himself in every possible place, and he has generally succeeded, for one' eyes may not escape falling on something named after some of his attributes. But when we come to think of It, when we come to look nature squarely in the face, man Is not the only thing in the land which can lay claim to highly de-
' veloped senses. I "Take the human eye. Cnquestlonably the little bundle of nerves in the t eye, which make visualization possible
and which present the mind with photographic refinements which no art has yet equaled, is one of the physiological marvels and opens up an endless field for speculation In the realm of psychology, that unsolved riddle of. science In whose presence even the giants have cowered and skulked In hopeless Ignorance. Yet this eye, discerning with o much delicacy when the picture is no farther than the wall of one's room this eye with its circumscribed limits would be looked upon with dignified scorn by yon soaring eagle if he only knew how much farther he could see than a human being. "Take the human ear. We may not
I hear so well as the rats and mice that burrow under the palaces In which we ! live or the squirrel that capers yonder in the forest and countless other things one might mention. We may differentiate with greater accuracy and trace refinements In sound which these lower creatures may not trace, but when it comes to the matter of catching the
sound at long range their ears seem to have been more perfectly constructed. "It is conceded that no human voice has ever been heard which could equal In sweetness of tone the lays which one may hear in the orchard. No human being ever sang more sweetly than Patti, but she never sang so sweetly as the meadow lark when he pours his gurgling love song out on the summer air or the oriole when he shades his silvered octave from the bending bough. "What device for measuring water pressure has man Invented which will compare with the nerves which string the sides of the fish? It is a sense which Is not represented In the human category. Man must resort to artificialities In order to learn the air pressure and the degree of heat or cold. But it is different with the fish, for he can always tell Just what the water pressure is, and he knows bow much he can stand, and he acts accordingly.
"Take the olfactory nerves. Man Is ' all right when it comes to attar of roses, violet perfumeries and this and that sort, but you may pick out the measliest old bound In the swamps of Mississippi, and if he knew how much su- ; perlor his sense of smell is to man's j well, he wouldn't want to be caught in a man's company. j "No, lam not running my own creed ; down." I am just relating a few things ; which ought to make us all natural lovers of the many deserving beauties that we wot not of In these hurrying times, and among them may be counted the things mentioned. Prove it? Prove
nothing. I am just telling you." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Harry Thaw, coming in from the
door at the back, had a clear aisle, en
cumbered by lounging court policemen
or tardy talesmen, and as he strode
along, the reporters had a chance to
study his gait. And a very queer
, gait it is. When Harry Thaw is In a

without a shoulder-pushing move
ment like a football player racing in
the line up. His big knee joints
click together and his pigeon-toed
feet work over and on each other like
the points of the blades of a pair of
buttonhole scissors.
Today he carried his overcoat held
loosely about him as a buck Ute car
ries his blanket. The effect added
somewhat to Thaw's resemblance 0 an Indian an '"Indian squaw, one might say, for in the broad, heavy face, the unwinking eyes, coarse hair,
flesy nose and high cheek bones that make twin nobs in the tallowy, sallow
skin, there is a strong suggestion of a well-fed, indolent Sioux or Navahoe woman. For Harry Thaw's face is
feminine in its general characteris
tics, rather than masculine.

Sew Year's In CIi inn. In China it is considered obligatory on all persons to settle every pecuniary obligation before the first day of the new year, a custom that might with profit be imitated elsewhere. The Chinese have also the singular practice of dating all births on the first day of the year on which they occur, so that as far as the record shows every Chinaman has but one birthday, the first day of January. The widest variance is observable In the selection cf the day which should be considered the first cf the year. Some nations have begun it In the spring, others In the autumn, some In midsummer, most in midwinter; but. whatever the day. the usages and rejoicings which characterized it have not varied so greatly as might be supposed, but have remained for ages almost unchanged.
