E THIEF IS HOW 111 CUSTODY Albertus Turner Who Confiscated Animal at Piqua Captured Last Night. TO BE TAKEN .TO OHIO. HARDLY PROBABLE THAT HE WILL BE PROSECUTED HERE, ALTHOUGH CHARGE WILL BE PLACED AGAINST HIM. Arrested last night or . rather at about 2 o'clock this morning jand then believed to be the missing insane patient from Easthaven hospital, a. young man giving the name of Albertus Turner, confessed later, to the theft of a horse and buggy at Piqua, Ohio.- In the desk of the superintendent of police was found a post card sent by the superintendent of the Piqua police, which bears a description of the stolen outfit and the thief. It ia probable that Turner will not be sent back to Ohio for prosecution, but a charge of bringing stolen property into this state will be placed against him. This ' offense constitutes a felony and is punishable by a prison sentence. Turner was arrested by Officers Wierhake and Lawler, north of the Cornelius Ratliff home. He had gone into camp near Thistlethwalte's pond. With him was Charles Sharp, a boy whose home is in the Rolling building at Main and Fifth Btreets. Sharp knew Turner when the latter was in this city some time ago. He had been swimming last evening and encountered Turner as he was returning home. Upon his invitation Sharp decided to spend the night with his acquaintance. Wrapped in the arms of Morpheus and ignorant of the crime of his sleeping companion, Charp knew nothing until awakened by the arrival of the patrolmen. The latter had gone to the vicinity of the pond in search of Thomas Wilson, the escaped asylum patient. After securing the horse and rig at Piqua Turner drove to this city by a circuitous route. The horse is not a very valuable animal and was a poor traveler, so it took three days for the trip. Turner spent the nights in camp. The officers hitched the horse up this morning and in company with Turner and the boy drove to the city, where the horse and rig were placed in a livery stable. The police at Piqua were notified of the recovery of the property and are expected to send for it. ; 1 Turner has been in trouble before. He served eighteen months in prison at Piqua and has been concerned in a numbere of petty offenses. He was reticent about any information In regard to himself until he had been subjected to questioning by Supt. Bailey the second time. The Sharp boy is not believed to have had any complicity in the affair and was not hed by the police. He is authority for the statement Turner was not employed, when in the city on the occasion of his former visit. j The police were notified this afternoon and officers will be sefnet from Piqua for Turner. He may tie permitted to return without requisition papers. The Central Aid.Society of the Christian Church will gve a maket tomorrow at 1032 Main Street, beginning at 10 o'clock. i AN ISLAND OF QUIET. Yet Going Downtown In Madeira Is an Exciting Event. Madeira is populated, yet is one of the quietest as well as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Although the roads are paved with round beach stones, there is nothing to remind one of the fact, because, as David G. Falrchild, agricultural explorer of the department of agriculture, explains in the National Geographic Magazine, there are no horses or Jolting wheels. All vehicles In Madeira are on runners. If you go calling it is in a bullock sledge with canopy top and comfortable seats. If you move a bank safe or a steam boiler it is carried on a "stone boat," or sledge of poles, and you may have to get forty oxen to pull it If you are in a villa on the hillside and want to get downtown you take a running car and slide down over the cobblestones. Two strong men. each holding a guide rope, pull your car over a bag of grease to grease the runners and then give yon a running shove and jump each on a runner behind as the car shoots down at a breakneck pace ever the cobblestones. The men yell, hens and dogs scamper.' foot passengers cling close to the wall of the narrow street, the runners get hot and fill the air with odor of burning wood as you shoot round sharp corners, down the busy thoroughfare. past gorgeous masses of flowering creepers which hang over the walls of the private villas that border your road. But, oh, the change when you get to the bottom 1 Tou are obliged either to walk or take a carro, drawn by slow moving bullocks, squeaking and sliprjnc over the stones. SPECIAL SERVICES.

CHECKING A BUNDLE. Tha Way tha Tired Man Saved Hima - Mlf Labor and Trouble. One day a man went into a very big etore. He had a heavy package with him.

Not in the sense you mean, smarties, but in the real sense. He had to go two blocks farther down the street and didn't want to carry the package. So he decided that he would leave it In the check room. He asked a floorwalker who looked like a United States senator, but who was a perfect gentleman, where the check room was. The floorwalker said: T b r e eaisleso verdo wnstalrsandoverontheWabasbside." He went there, wherever that was, and found he had made a mistake. He knew It was himself who bad made the mistake, for as nice a man as a floorwalker with a Prince Albert on couldn't have made a mistake. Finally after he had lugged his bundle-thirty-two blocks hunting the check room, had found the check room and deposited bis bundle he walked his two blocks to the other place and was through for the day. Then he soliloquized: "How should I ever have got through or stood the wear and tear of that long two blocks carrying that bundle? If It hadn't been for the check room system, what could I have done?" Chicago News. TIPS IN ENGLAND. Lord Russell's Faa to tha Headsman Who Executed Him. Mr. George Russell, discoursing on tips in the Manchester Guardian, after the manner of his "Collections and Recollections," treats the subject his torically under Its various names of fees, vales (or veils), honorarium (as Disraeli preferred to call it) and pouches. Ancient usage has a peculiarly consecrating effect in the matter of tips and fees. Horace Walpole records the astonishment of George L when told that he must give guineas to the serv ant of the ranger of his park for bringing him a brace of carp out of his owa pond. Apparently everybody In England is at some time or other justified in demanding a fee unless it be the mon arch. When Tait became archbishop of Canterbury and met the queen he breathed a sigh of relief on at last encountering a person to whom he had not to pay something. According to Bishop Burnet, a man used to have to give a tip in order to be decapitated. He tells the story of Lord Russell when under sentence of death for high treason asking what he ought to give the executioner. "I told him 10 guineas. He said, with a smile, it was a pretty thing to give a fee to have his head cut off." For Number Two. "George, dear, what kind of a woman would you marry if you married again?" asked the amiable wife. "Well, if 1 married again" -began the brutal husband. "Then you acknowledge that you would marry again?" "I'm not saying one way or the other, but" "But you don't give me a definite answer, and that proves" "That doesn't prove anything, because" "It does too! So what kind of a woman would you marry if you married again?" "I wouldn't marry again. I could not" "Of course you have to say that" "Of course I do, because I was about to say that if I married again It would be the kind of a woman who would not ask me what kind of a woman I would marry if I married again." Judge. Singing Pigeons. The queer Chinese change pigeons into song birds by fastening whistles to their breasts. The wind of their flight then causes a weird and plaintive music that is seldom silenced in the pigeon haunted cities of Fekin and Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon fliers, fasten whistles beneath the wings of valuable racing carriers, claiming that the shrill noise is a sure protection against hawks and other birds of prey. As a similar protection, reeds, emitting an odd walling sound, are fixed to the tall feathers of the dispatch bearing pigeons of the German army. What He Was Looking For. "I do wish, Edward," said the lady of his choice, "that you wouldn't stare at other women so much. It's very rude and Is certainly no compliment to me." "On the contrary, my dear," replied the resourceful benedict, "I was looking to see If I could find a prettier face than yours, and I confess I really cannot" New York Press. Eating Before Sleep.

E OF STEEL The Rise of a Great Industry and Enormous Fortunes. KELLY AND THE AIR BLAST. The Flash of Genius Which Provided the World With a New Metal Robert Mashet'a Device Captain Bill Jones and Andrew Carnegie. As late as the middle of the last century cheap steel was unknown. It was then sold at 25 cents a pound. The railroads were using iron rails which wore out in less than two years, and the total output of iron and steel in a year was less than is now made in four days. Then came to William Kelly, a Pittsburg Irish-American, that flash of genius which provided the world with a new metal, something as strong as steel and as cheap as iron. Kelly was an iron maker and needed charcoal. In time all the wood near his furnaces was burned, and the nearest available source of supply was seven miles distant To cart his charcoal seven miles meant bankruptcy unless he could invent a way to save fuel. One day he was sitting In front of the "finery fire" when he suddenly sprang to his feet, with a shout and rushed to the furnace. At one edge he saw a white hot Bpot in the yellow mass of molten metal. The Iron at this spot was incandescent It was almost gaseous. Yet there was no charcoalnothing but the steady blast of air. Like a flash the idea leaped into his excited brain there was no need of charcoal; air alone for fuel. But people said he was crazy when Kelly asserted that pig iron could be changed into malleable iron by the air blast, for every iron maker believed in those days that cold air would chill hot iron. "Some crank will be trying to burn ice next" said one manufacturer, and Kelly, through lack of means, could not turn his idea into the success he deserved. Then, seven years later, came Bessemer, who made the new process a commercial success by the invention of his celebrated "converter" and received $10,000,000, worldwide fame and a knighthood as bis reward. Kelly received $500,000 and comparative oblivion, although his Idea was the nucleus of the Bessemer process by which iron is purified from carbon by the direct introduction of oxygen, for when Bessemer applied for and obtained a United States patent for his "pneumatic process" Kelly claimed priority for bis Invention, and his claim was allowed by the patent office. Another pioneer of the steel trade, Robert F. Mushet, a Scotsman, who hit upon a device for removing a difficulty that baffled Kelly and Bessemer, fared even worse than Kelly, for be lost his patent by falling to pay the necessary fees and in his later years was dependent upon a pension of $1,500 which he received annually from Bessemer. The difficulty which Munset removed was this: "The air blast clears the molten metal of carbon and of all impurities, including sulphur and phosphorus. But a certain quantity of carbon is necessary to harden the metal Into the required quality of steel. Instead of endeavoring to stop the process at exactly the right moment Mushet asked. 'Why not first burn out all the carbon and then pour back the exact quantity that you need?' This was a simple device, but no one had thought of it before." The man who took the invention of Kelly and Bessemer into his hands, developed it Into one of the wonders of the world and made the Carnegie millions was Captain William R. Jones BUI Jones, as he was known who seemed to live with the sole desire of toppling over the idea that England owned the steel trade. He could have been a mittonaire many times over, but he cared little for money. When he was offered a partnership he re plied: "No, Mr. Carnegie, I don't know any thing about business, and I don't want to be bothered with it. I've got trouble enough here In these works. I'll tell you what you can do" these were his exact words "you can give me a thundering big salary." "After this, captain," replied Carnegle, "you 6hall have the salary of the president of the United States $25,000." The famous scrap heap policy was originated by Jones. He did not believe in waiting until his machinery was worn out. The moment that an improvement was invented old machinery was dragged to the scrap heap and the latest devices put in its place. He made the shareholders gasp on several occasions by asking permission to smash up $500,000 worth of machinery that was as good as new, but outgrown. Jones died, as he had lived, in the midst of an industrial battle at tha head of his men. He was killed in an accident in the company's works. "Carnegie, looking upon poor Jones as h lay in the hospital, sobbed like a child." "The Romance of Steel," by Herbert N. Casson. The Wind. The senator pushed into the crowd that surrounded the automobile. "What Is the trouble here?" he inquired. "Punctured tire," replied a man with a dinner pail. "Make a speech into it will you, senator?" New York Press. Inquisitive people are the funnels of conversation. They do not take in anything for their own use, but merely to pass it to another. Steele. Bitumen on the Dead Sea. Judeaa bitumen floats in pieces of varying size on the Dead sea and is washed up principally on the western shore, where the Arabs collect it The bitumen rises from the depths and forms islets, which were remarked in ancient times and described by Strabo. The local earthquakes have the effect of augmenting these deposits. Ia the year 1S34, after a severe shock of earthquake, a mass of twenty tons was thrown up on the southern coast; in 1837, when a sharp shock was felt all over Syria, a mass of fifteen tons came

A caseHn PfrfflTT Why the Postmaster Leaned Toward the Sheriff. There Is a town in northern New Hampshire where the families have intermarried to such an extent that it is difficult for an outsider to make the least criticism on one person without the danger of offending some of his family connections. When an unfortunate visitor commented on this fact to Mr. Corbin, the postmaster, Mr. Corbln nodded violently. "Bill Harmon, that's our sheriff, complained of that no longer ago than last week," said he. "You see, it took him more'n a fortnight to arrest Nate Giddlngs because Nate got wind that he was wanted on a little matter o' selling hard cider, and he went on a round o' visits among his relatives aunts, nephews-ln-law and I don't know what all and 'twasn't till he'd had his fun and went back home to his wife that Bill could make the arrest without seeming to kind o' butt in, as you might say, and spoil the reunions." "I should think he would make a queer kind of sheriff," said the visitor, "waiting all that time for sentimental reasons and then arresting a man when he went home Just because his poor wife wasn't a relation!" Mr. Corbin drew himself up and assumed a remote expression. "That's as you look at it" he said in a chilly tone. "I may be a mite prejudiced in Bill's favor, as be married my son-in-law's youngest sister. Anything that concerns him concerns me, you understand."

CONQUERORS CONQUERED. The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon. It Is a remarkable and instructive fact that the careers of four of the most renowned characters that ever lived closed with violent or mournful deaths. Alexander, after looking down from the dizzy heights of his ambition upon a conquered world and weeping that there were no more to conquer, died of intoxication in a scene of debauch or, as some suppose, by poison mingled in his wine. Hannibal, whose name carried terror to the heart of Rome Itself, after having crossed the Alps and put to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, was driven from his country and died at last of poison administered by his own hands in a foreign land, nnlamented and unwept Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities and his temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of a million of his foes, was miserably assassinated by those he considered his nearest friends. Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and emperors obeyed, after filling the earth with the terror of his name, closed his days in lonely banishment upon a barren rock In the midst of the Atlantic ocean. Such the four men who may be considered representatives of all whom the world calls great and such their endintoxication or poison, suicide, murdered by friends, lonely exile. Pointed With Scripture. A bachelor rector of a western church was alone in his study when his housekeeper brought him the card of one of his parishioners, a spinster of means and charm. When the lady was seated on the op posite side of his study table the rector looked at her inquiringly, expecting to hear something concerning parish work, in which she was active. To his surprise an embarrassed silence ensued, during which he vainly sought for something to say. "Dr. Blank." began the lady at last in faltering tones, "do you think can you fancy conditions under which a a woman is Justified in proposing?" "Why, yes," said the rector, after some deliberation. "Thou art the man!" said the lady resolutely. She was right A Ready Answer. The captain of a schooner that trades between New York and Savannah is noted for his wit and on every occasion that offers he loosens his shafts of humor, to the chagrin and embarrass ment of its target Sooner or later the stinger gets stung, and this chronic pun artist is no exception to the rule. On one occasion when about two days out from New York he approach ed a group of sailors who were wash lng the forward deck, and, singling out a big, rawboned Irishman who was experiencing his first taste of sailor's life, he gravely asked. "Can you steer the mainmast down the forecastle stairs?" Quick as a flash came the reply, "Yls, sor; I can if you will stand below and coil it up." Phil adelphla Ledger. Rough on the Doctor. One night as a Canadian doctor who lives In eastern Ontario was driving Into a village he saw a chap, a little the worse for liquor, amusing a crowd of spectators with the antics of his trick dog. The doctor watched him awhile and said: "Sandy, how do you manage to train your dog? I can't teach mine to do anything." Sandy, with that simple look in his eyes. said. "Well, you see, doc. you have to know more'n the dog or you can't learn him nothing.'' An Ideal Husband. The Man And you really think you have an ideal husband, don't you? The Matron I know I have.
