'mere boy of 15. He is now .u l i l l l i l i I I i l D I I I I I I I l w’ HE w J u THE KING- OF BURGLARS CAUGHT AT LAST. ~â€" Twelve Years’ Career of Crime Is Ended by the Parisian Police. ' After twelve years’ unrestricted ind undetected housebreaking and robbing on a gigantic scale, Laurent Delavrue,‘ called the “king of burg- lans,” has been arrested in Paris. For twelve years the inhabitants of the depantiment of the Seine and the Oise have been amazed by the audacity with which innumerable cliateux,' villas, and houses have been enter-0d and despoiled of their valua- blos. Real estate agents found in those 'depredaiions a cause for the depreciation in value of suburban d-wollings. During these twelve years no hint as to the identity or number of the robbers ever was secured. Now it is learned that one man ‘did the. work. He began when he was a fir! 1 years old and ready to pay the punâ€" ishment of his crimes. MODEL OF PROPRIETY. To all outward appearances he is a model of propriety. He is marâ€" ried to an attractive young wolman of good family and is the father of two children, whose‘education has teen his constant care. His little cot- tage is surrounded by neat gardens and well kept lawns. There is a tennis court, where he and his wife, both experts at the game, played together. In this cottage were found articles to the value of $75,000, indicating the large scale on which his opera- tions have been conducted. The man who breaks the world’s record as a burglar might be taken for a scholar. He is found of sketâ€" ching and frequently carried a box of paints. More frequently than otherwise this box contained not paints but a complete set of burg- lars’ tools. THEATRE CAUSES DOEVNFALL. His own story of his life is as lollows : l. "I was working in a factory as a boy, but I found that this employâ€" ment was too regular and irksome. I felt an irresistible craving to he a Eramlprâ€"‘to wander about in the fields ELl’llCl to be my own master. I read books about tr-amaps and celebrated criminals which I obtained from 'the public libraries. I once saw at tlie theatre a performance of Jean Rich- epin’s "The Tramps.’ It was this lay that induced me to become a urgl ar. “I was returning from work at the lounz'dry one September evening. It was dark, and I noticed the window of an apartment on the ground floor was ajar. I walked up and down before the house, and noticed the family were seated in the diningâ€" room eating and drinking. At a glance I saw the open window beâ€" longing to the room used as an of- fice, or library. Without hesitating a moment I drew myself to the sill and slipped 'through the window of the little surbuzrban Villflrâ€"lt was at Maisons Ladllttc. I groped about, and with a piece of wireâ€"I had al- ready served apprenticeship wiih_ a locksmithâ€"succeeded'in opening the right hand upper drawer of the writing desk. NARROW ESCAPE. “It is a curious coincidence that in nine times out of ten it- is always lhe right hand upper drawer of a writing desk that contains the obâ€" ]ccts of the greatest. value. I found In the drawer seven gold 25 franc pieces, which I at once slipped into my socks. Just as I was about to jump out of the winde I saw a. olicoman walking by. I slipped Eoldly into the hall, and proceeded to the front door, opened it silently, and in a mouncnt was in the street with my seven louis. “I found any other occupation was tedious and distasteful. From that September evening I became a regular Crac-ksmzau. I felt impelled to break into houses by an irresistiâ€" ble passion beyond my con‘t'rol.’ I kept it up for twelve years without detection, and I would have been free now had not my own brother denounced nae. I may add that dur- ing all my burglaries I have never taken a human life.” The cottage Delarue had built with the proceeds of‘ his burglaries was a. sumptuous little house, with exceptionally thick walls. Deep slanting holes had been made in the woodwork and stopped up by corks These holes contained bank notes neatly rolled together, bonds, shares, and little lr-iles of GOLD AND SILVER COIN. ‘l_:o corks were concealed by wall paper. Sorret 1')igeonholes were found in the beams, containing gold Watches, bracelets, rings, brooches, gold purses, pearl necklaces, and ijcwels of every descril‘m‘tion. g The exploits of the “burglar king” are remarkable. white tie and dress coat, he entered the room of an American woman in a fashionable hotel and walked off with jewelry valued at $30,000.. At Rowen he succeeded in robbing a jewelry shop and riding away with $40,000 worth of jewels on his bicyâ€" 'cle. At. Maisons Laifli't’te he was ~"discovered one dark niglvt by a large .mastil‘i while robbing a vacant villa. [lust as the animal was about . to spring at him Delarue, with great presence of mind, struck half a dozen ntatches and, placing them in his mpu'th, so frightened the dog that is had time to escape. NOTES FROM MANYJVHIERE. European Russia has a. less per cent of forest than the United States. The French domain in Africa comâ€" prises one-third of the surface of the continent. The Canadian exhibit won first prize in the Japanese international exhibition at Osaka. Chang, a Chinese general, has been given a like position in the Russian many to command the Chinese soldâ€" iers latelyenlis'ted by the Russians. He has 4,000 men. Tourists in Egypt will soon be able to cross the Sahara desert in a four mile an hour automobile specially constructed for travelling over sandy wastes. The vehicle is to accommodate forty passengers. While the speed scams slow, it is greater than that of camel trans- portation.

This methods of operation were exceedingly simple. He depend- ed on his extraordinary skill as a locksmith, his elegant appearance, and his ready wit. The French poâ€" lice say that he is the most brilliant and audacious robber brought to light since Robert Macaire.

MAKING A FIREIVIAII. I-Iow It is Done in the Great City of London. Willie (at his lessons)â€"”I say, pa, what’s a fortification?” Paâ€"“A for- tification, my son, is a large fort.” Willieâ€"“Then a ratification is a large rat." -A candidate for a fi-reman’s posiâ€" tion in London, after having given certificates, muscular, mental and moral. of his fitness for duty, is .q assigned to a bed in the "probation- er’s dormitory" at Southwark; and as a pro-bationer, undergoes a three months’ course of instruction. The London Graphic des;cribes this course as follow.s : Instruction is partly indoors, and of a. theoretical kind, but chiefly out- of-doors and severely practical. In- doors the probationer learns the working and parts of the engine, which is taken to pieces for his inâ€" slua‘sction, so that he learns to know the parts as intimately as a chaufâ€" feur knows his motor. He is also thoroughly taught the handling of hych‘a-nts, syphons, hose, and all the working appliances. He is instruct- ed in the topography of London, and in the relative situation of its fire stations, and he learns the number, strength and class of staff and appliances available at each point. Outâ€"ofâ€"doors there are the practice drills, many and varied. The “jumping sheet" .is a strenuous test of strength, pluck and neatness. Each man takes it in turn to leap from the window into the sheet which is held by his companions beâ€" low. The next set of exercisâ€" es are those wlth ropes. In the case of the London Fire Brigade the rope and the smell scaling ladder fulfil the purpose ofâ€" fected by the devices known under the name of hookâ€"ladder. There are many additional excer- cises taught to "make the fi‘re‘mlan,” who must, however, be already a natural fireman by force of the reâ€" quisite attributes of loyalty, courage and constitution. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that .ls by constitutional remedies. Deafness .13 caused sy an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam- ed you havo arumbling sound or Im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored 'to its normal condition, heal-mg will be destroyed for- ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous ser- vices.
