"There are few murders where the police have anything but the small- 'jest clues to work on," said Deputy Police Commissioner Faurot, of New York, the other day. He was answer- ing a remark concerning a Lakehurst, N.J., murder in which a Mrs. Ivy Gilberson is held by the police as an accomplice in the murder of her husband. Slight, indeed, was the clue that caused the police to sus- pect Mrs. Gilberson. She had told apparently a straight story about the murder of her husband .by burglars who, she said, had first bound her and then shot him as he slept. In- ¥estigation showed that the twine with which she had been bound had been cut from a fresh ball with a pair of scissors. The use of scis- sors suggested a woman, and the police argued that anyway a gang of burglars about to commit a mur- der would not hunt round the house for twine and scissors in the middle of the night. They would have come prepared for what they. intended to do. So Mrs. Gllberson is being held until the matter is further investi- 8ated. Mr. Faurot, who was in his time one of the best detectives on the New York force, said that an even smaller clue led a criminal to Sing Sing a short time ago. A man had been knocked down in the street and killed by an automobile, which then sped away Nobody had got its number, and it seemed 'an almost 'impossible task to trace it. From the force of the collision, however, it was*Tnferred that the car would likely show some sign of the acel- dent, could it be located. Detectives scoured the city to find a car with a damaged headlight or fender, and eventually found that a car had Don't Suffer With Piles NE re Ree Xi : ou, .

The repair man had naturally noted the' nume ber, and so the car was soon traced. On examination it was found that be- hind the glass in the headlight was half of a little bone button, whose presence had been noted by neither the repair man nor the driver of the automobile. The other half of the button was on the clothes of the man who had been killed. though the clue was, the evidence was absolute. Commissioner Faurot then recalled one of the most famous cases.in which he was ever engaged, that of the murder of Anna Aumuller by the priest, Hans Schmidt. The dismem- bered body of an unidentified woman was found in the Hudson river, and upon a pillow case in which one frag- ment had been wrapped was found the name of the manufacturer, and a number. The manufacturer, when interviewed, sald that No. 89 was an odd size, the manufacture of which had been discontinued. The surplus had recently been sold to a furniture Facial __Blemishes ] HF T i i i ; pe Ark seesiks § dealer, who in turn said that he had sold only two of the lot, one to a woman, who was found in possession of her pillow, and the other to a man who could not be found. : But the police found the apart- ment to which the pillow had been delivered and watehed it, for the tenants were absent. As days passed and nobody turned" up, the detectives determined to burglarize the house. This they did, and inside found the Place in order, with the exception of Some ominous stains that had been imperfectly removed. A pillow was missing from the bed. They learned "that the occupant of the apartment Was Anna Aumuller, a domestic, re- cently in the employ of a rectory mot far away. At the rectory they learn- ed that the woman had been dis- char because her personal conduet had unsatisfactory. They found out also the of her cousin, to whom they then went. He told them that he had not seen Anna for a month, but gave the name of a priest, Hans dt, who had known her for years. b It never occurred to them that the priest had had any band in her murder, but when they next visited him his nervousness was such that their suspicions were instantly arous- ed, and after a short parley they taxed him with the crime, which he admitted. Another trifie that led to the conviction of one of the most Infamous als of modern time, Dr. Waite, was the murderer's care- less rudeness to one of his wife's relatives. Waite had married the only daughter of wealthy parents in Grand Rapids, and became a great favorite with all the family except one cousin. This cousin had seen him dining with a woman not his wife shortly after his marriage and, though he gave a frank tion which satisfied his wife, the cousin Was suspicious. Watte began to pots on off his wife's relatives so that he would come into possession of the fortune, and disposed of the mother and her sister without causing com- ment. Then he poisoned the father, might evén then have escaped been rude to couain d autopsy, which disclosed that the man been poisoned. Waite afterward Slight 4 TENNYSON'S ' YOUTH. He Loved the Beautiful Even When a Boy. "Tennyson, when a lad abroad on the wold, in silence under the trem- bling stars, would," writes Anna O. fAllen in "John Allen and His Friends," "watch with the shepherd, not only the flock on the green sward, but also the fleecy star, along with those other constellations which Aries leads over the flelds of Heaven; and gasing up into the night's starry do- main, standing no longer on the | earth, would touch the Creator while bis spirit drank immortality. "Then he would observe, too, some of the uncertain phenomena of night; unsurmised apparitions of the Northern Aurora, by somé shy glimpses of which no winter -- no, nor even summer nights -- he said | was utterly unvisited; and hearken to those strange voices, whether of creeping brook, or copses muttering | to themselves far off--'other sounds | we know not whence they come, but all inaudible to the ear of day'; while Contemplation, like the night-calm felt ¢hrough earth and sky, spread widely, and sent deep Into his soul its vanishing power until the rising dawn yellowed the western hills. Then, indeed, a wise spirit was at work for him, most prodigal of bless- ings, and most studious of his good, even in what might seem his most unfruitful hours. "When Tennyson found himself 'By the Banks of Bonny Doon' he 'broke into a passion of tears -- of tears which, during a pretty long and intimate intércoursq,' said Fitzger- ald, 'I had never seen glistening in his eye but once, when reading Virgil, 'dear old Virgil,' as he called him, together; and then of the burning of Troy in the 'Second AEneid,' whethep moved by the catastrophe's self, or the majesty of the verse it is told In or scarce knowing why.

OE -------- Dukedoms Have Drawbacks. Dukedoms are fine things to read about in novels, but in real life they have their drawbacks. For instance, the Duke of Bedford proved not long ago, by chartered accountant's figures, that, owing to the present taxation, he can only run & big 'landed property in the fertile Midlands of England at a loss of $26,000 a year. The Duke of Rutland, who lives in an historic castle whose very name goes back to Norman times, says that it things go on as they are in a little while no duke will 'be able to live on his own land or in his own castle. And yet dukes are the highest no- bility in the land next below princes. Edward III. started dukedoms when he made his son, Edward, the Black Prince, Duke of Cornwall. That was five hundred and eighty- five years ago, and Edward, the Prince of Wales, is Duke of Corn- wall to-day. . So high in the land is a duke that the King, when writing officially to him, begins his letter with, not "My dear sir," but "Our right trusty and right entirely beloved cousin." Yet, with it all, many dukes are as shy as more ordinary men. The Duke of Bedford, who owns the greater part of Bloomsbury, in Lon- don, and till not so very long ago Sovent Garden, is by nature very When he succeeded to the title and first went to Woburn Abbey, his Bed- fordshire home, all the servants were assembled to greet him in the hall. It was only with the greatest dim- culty that the duke was induced. to meet them. Not till he saw that the butler, who had to read out the ad- dress, was even more shaky and ner- Yous than himself, did he pluck up courage. ------ Isn't It Strange?
