He has been under sur- veillance fer several weeks, by a. Thiel detective, brought into the case at the instance of Deputy Chief of P0- lice Whatley, who has been quietly working on the case ever since the charges against Hughes and Ken- nough fell through: The lice are extremely reticent about - e evidence they have ainst Chilman and Acheson. and ' say but. little about the case. Acheson has also been closely watched by the Thiel operative find two women detectives are also 831d to be engaged in trying to trap the two suspects. Monday afternoon the deputy chief decided that he was in possession of sufficient evidence to justify the arrest of the suspected men, and warrants were accordingly sworn out. The accused men one each twenty- two years old, and both are well known in the cit . Chllman is the proprietor of the egal confectionery on King street. west, which he bought, soon after severing his connection with the express company. Acheson recently resigned a. position as travel- er with the Simmons Fuel 00., to en- gage in the electrical supply busi- ness, but a. few weeks ago disposed of this business, and at the time of his arrest was employed with the Canadian Reflector Co. Chilman was also a. friend of Constable Goodman, who arrested him yesterday. ggfigggg Good Furs are like good friends, one never tires of them, no matter how old, they are always in season, and like all good things the can stand the change.

There is a body of land in the South Pacific Ocean, 15 miles south of New Zealand, known as Stewart Island. This island. with the group of rocky land specks that surround it, is the home of a marvelous migrant, the short-tailed petral. a. brownish-black bird about the size of an English wood igeon. It is popularly known throng out Australasia as the mutton bird, because of a faint resemblance between its cooked flesh and mutton. At certain times of the year thel mutton birds are sold in large quan- tities throughout Australia and New Zealand, for they are esteemed a. delicacy by many people. The ca ture and preparation of the 01mg bir s for market form the stap e industry 0! the southern Maoris. It is a wonderful sight to see clouds of birds making for Stewart Island for the nesting season. They come al- most all together. flocks of hundreds of thousands darkening the skies for several successive days. The newly- arrived birds. which return to the is- lands generally about September 25, never more than a day or so later, spend the first few days after their arrival in fixing up and cleaning out the old nests where they nested last year. These nests are holes in the ground. When the nests are cleared out the renovated homes are lined with leaves. During the cleanin and nest-making which is done by ioth male and fe- male the birds go without food. Then they flock out to sea. catching fish till about November 25, when the laying of eggs commences. So wonderfully is the homing instinct c- elop ed in the mutton bird that each pair of birds rear their young in the same neg year after year_._ The female birds all lay on or about the same day and at the same time. Each hen bird lays one large white e with a semi-transparent shell, w ch is hatched in about four weeks. At first the young bird is a mere ball of down and quite help less It re- mains in the nest till about the be. ginning of April, by which time it is enormously fat. The old bird stops feeding the youn bird about the middle of April, an the youngster is soon driven from the nest by hunger in search of food, to offer itself a helpless sacrifice to its Maori destroyer, for it leaves the nest quite unable to fly and flops fatly about. It is at this stage of its exist- ence that the young mutton birds are caught for the Australian market, for though the birds in the nest are keen- ly relished by Maoris, who salt them and send them to their irineds as a rare delicacy. they are much too rank then for the European palate. Among the customers at Long’s, the famous hotel in Bond street London, which has just closed its doors, was the last MarJq uis of Hastings, the most notorious 0% mid- Victorian spend- thriits. Hastings, according to one who knew him well “ gambled so that not even the Bank of Eng land, backed by the Rothschilds, withg the mines of the Transvaal as additional supports, could have withstood the strain.” About the midde of April the old mutton birds migrate to the north. The young ones follow as soon as they are able to fly. About the end of May thousands of young ones may be seen flapping clumsily round and round the islands learning to fly before em- barking on their first great migration. In a. day or so they wing their way strongly northward in the wake of their parents, those that have escape ed the great annual slaughter, which commences some weeks before this. The mutton bird islands are claimed by different Maori families, who dur- ing April and the early part of May go and live upon these small tempest.- swept dots of earth rocks in the great southern Pacific. Yet even he protested at Long’s when charged 25. ed. for a whisky and soda. The proprietor declared that this had always been the charge. “About time it was altered, then," retorted the marquis. Just before his death Ha§tings remarked to a friend. Tall Peeresses. Lady Galway and the Marchjonesa of Ripon share the distinction of be- ing the tallest peeresses.

AIway; Kept Fit. It is a curious fact that Sir Charles Lawes-Wittewronge, who died recent 1y, and who was one of the finest all- round athletes of his time, had n41 great belief in training. “If you keep yourself always ‘fit,’ ” he once re. marked, “why should training b9 necessary?” lunzmu- m5.“ .5. .mâ€" "I’ve made a. pretty hash of my life.

Clara Butt confesses to being rather superstitious, especially about Fridays. She says: "I supposevit is foolish, but I am afraid of leaving town on Friday to take a long jour- ney. I avoid it if I can. When I sailed for Australia from Tilbury on a Friday I made our whole part-y go down the day before and go on? the boat. We remained all night at the hotel. so that I could feel we left London on the Thursday. People chaf- fed me, but I felt happier about it.” A gentleman visitor to London was, during the night, awakened by weird strains of ghostly music. He sat up in bed and listened, not displeased, despite the interruption of his slum- bers. The music was low, lifting, and full of charm. Presently it ceas- ed and the listener slept. Next morn- ing he mentioned the experience to the friend with whom he was staying. “Oh,” said the friend, “that was Mr. Pelissier. He lives just a little lower down the road. We often hear him at nights. If an idea. enters his head while he is in bed, he jumps out and makes straight for the piano and tries it over.” A Notorious English Spendthrift. MUTTGN ms.
