Inferesting Reminiscences of Old-time Robberies -- "Black Bart" and - His Methods. More than two-thirds of the famous {rain robbers who have figured in ihe ermminal history of the United States Since the civil ,war have either been killed outright, lynched, or "died wilh their boots on,' Of the remaining third, many died ef wounds, or were captured, imprison- ed, or driven into exile in lands beyond sea, So declared Wuliam A. Pinkerton, of Chicago, in an address to the an- nual convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police at Jam-2s- fown, Va. "BLACK BART,' LONE BANDIT..- Not the least interesting part of Mr. Pinkerton's reminiscences was his e- scriplion of "Black Bart," the famous "lone bandit" of California. He says:-- "From 1877 to 1883 stages in the moun- tains of California were held up by. a done highwayman, always wearing a es meal bag on the lower part of ais egs, an old linen duster, his head and face covered witha mask through which gieamed bright black eyes, with a coni- cal circus clown hat. He was always fein lo the passengers, and especially fo the ladies, never robbing thenr, but &iways requesting the stage driver to ithrow out the box and mail bags. Then the lone robber, at the point of a rifle, ;would order the stage driver to pass on. Altogether this lone highwayman committed twenty-three robberies, WAS A MINING MAN. **Black Bart?' was also. known as Charles E,* Benton and Charles E. Bowles.

During 'Black Bart's' career as a jured 'a human being. He was a ie markably good slory teller." One of the most daring train rob- beries recounted by Mr. Pinkerton was the following: "Sept. 30, 1891, Oliver Curtis Perry boarded a New York Central railroad train near Utica, while the train was in motion, cut his way into an Ameri- can Express Company car, and, cov- ering the messenger with a revolver, stole $5,000 and. some jewelry there- from, cul the air brakes, which reduced the speed of the train, AND MADE HIS ESCAPE." "Feb. 1, 1892, Perry again boarded rn express train near Syracuse, N. Y., eoncealing himself on the roof of the express car until the train was in mo- tion, when, with a hook and rope, fast- ered to the roof of the car while the train was moving at fifty miles an 'hour, he lowered himself to a window and, covering the messenger with a revolver, ordered him to throw up his hands. The messenger attempted to pull the hell cord, but Perry shot him in the hand, the messenger returning the fire with 'several shots: Just as the last shot was fired by Perry the train pulled in- lo Lyons. He altempled to escape by driving the fireman and engineer from a locomotive which stood on a siding, which he boarded, and started to es- cape in it at full speed, but was, fol- kewed by railroad employes in another locomotive, who subsequently overlook him and after oonsiderable shooling causea his arrest." --_-- HAD NO KICK COMING. "T hate work," said Languid Lewis. "I don't see why," rejoined Humble Harry, "It's a safe bet dat work never done youse no harm." THE REASON, "Mamma, why is the ocean so angry- ooking?"

There t repose about the mouth that isn't. natural, "No," said the old shoemaker, stern- ly; "I will not do il. Never have I sold anything by false representations, and I will not begin now." For a moment he was silent, and the shopman who stood befere him could see that the bet- ter nature of his employer was fighting strongly for the right. "No," said the eld man again, "I will not do it. It is an inferior grade of shoe, and I will never' pass it off as anything better.
