Henry Musgravc Oncqtit, who was rcceutly sentenced In London to live years' Imprisonment, has had n 10 markablc career nnd one which should have landed him in prison long ago. His real name Is said to be Heniy Mtisgrave. Ho made his first appear ance as a public swindler In Chicago during the winter of 189G nnd 1S97. There- he gave palmistry seances In elegant rooms of his own. At one of his last seances, held In the home of i banker he met Miss Sadie Crooks, whom he nftcrwnrd married. After swindling a number of people In Chi cago, his practices were exposed to tho police, and he iled the city. He then appeared In New York as "Sir" Henry Oncqul, Russian nobleman and nalmlst. This was In June. 1897. He wns clever far too clever for the peo ple he met. His offices were on Broad way, and In connection with them he had a stock pool employment bureau. His plan of operations was to read the lines upon the palms of victims, and then ndvlse them how to make money by Investing In stocks nnd other things which would give great profit. He induced S. D. Stone, of Gull ford, Conn., to sell his grocery store and pay $2,500 for the privilege of traveling for Oncqul In quest of wax Impressions of palms for the seer to examine. Mine. Larolx gave tho al leged nobleman $5,000 to Invest for her. He promised that she should have $100,000 profit. A Mrs. Postley was swindled out of $1,200. Before his swindling drove him out of New York ho collected from his dupes $120,000. Then ho wrecked a happy home. It seems thnt when ho married Sadlo Crooks ho was already married to an other woman. From his first wife he secured n divorce and legalized his marriage with Miss Crooks. After that and Just before he left New York ho met Mrs. James K. Shakespeare, wife of a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. She wished to have her palm read, and while he was doing this an attachment sprung up between them. "Sir" Henry then began to treat his wife cruelly, and she left him, returned to Chicago and secured n divorce. Left to Mrs. Shakespeare, Onequl persuaded her to desert her husband, and the two fled to Europe. The husband went Insane. In Paris, having secured from Mrs. Shakespeare, who had married him, nil tho money ho could, Onequl de serted her. She had $12,000 worth of clothing In her trunks, but not a dol- HORRORS OF SMALLPOX.

READS LIKK ROMANCE GHASTLY STORY OF tJURT DRIGOS MURDER, Light Thrown nn the Myntery by n lllntrlct Attorney lho Loe Ho lluro R Vnunir tllr! Impelled Hurt to Commit Murder. Like ono of the weird, ghostly nar ratives that emanated from tho Im agination of Edgar Allen Poo, or llko a chapter from Gaboriuti Is tho true story of Intrigue nnd crime which has Just been laid before the third de partment of the appellate division of the supreme court In New York Btate. This remarkable story Is told step by step In a little pamphlet prepared for the court by tho district attorney of St. Lawrence county. Tho murder around which the whole tale lies was committed at 7 o'clock on tho evening of November 10, 1897, In the township of Plerrepont, live and a half miles from Potsdam, N. Y. Tho tragedy was committed at a house known as the Hurt home, owned by Hownrd W. Hurt, a well-to-do farmer, 49 years old. In tho house with Hurt lived his wife, 57 years old; Asa W. Hrlggs, ti paralytic, 83 years old, who was tho father of Mrs. Hurt, and Edna Delosh, 22 years old, a handsomo girl of re spectable family, employed In tho Hurt household, besides one or two others. The other members of tho family present besides Mrs. Hurt and Mr. Hrlggs at tho time of tho tragedy were Harry Hurt, the youngest son, aged 15, and Mary Harvey, also about 15 years of age, and employed to do light housework. Suddenly there came a loud, sharp rap at tho front door. Mrs. Hurt started for the door, but her son, Harry, rnn ahead of her, undid tho fastenings, nnd throw tho door wldo the figure was seen twice, nnd then he was going toward the Hurt house. Between 7 and S:30 o'clock ho was seen four times between Hurt's house and Potsdam. Thus far the figure, as ho was fol lowed through vnilous witnesses, had been seen dimly like a flitting specter by night. Hut at last he reached Potsdam vllhigo Itself, was skulking darkly In shadows and obscure streets. Then ho enme out full In the glaro of an electric light nnd there was mot by n man who knew him well and called him by name, and that name was Howard W. Hurt. There could lie no doubt about It. Tho descriptions of all witnesses were too positive to leave any room for doubt that the man seen skulking and hurrying to nnd from his own house nnd Potsdam between 5:30 o'clock In the nfternoon and 8:30 o'clock In the evening was the very man whoso wlfo had bivn shot nnd beaten nnd whoso father-in-law had been murdered. The circumstantial evidence nil looked very black, but when a clear, Btrong and questionable motive for his wanting his wlfo out of the way was brought out, tho case against Hurt wns complete. And that motive was supplied by the handsome coun try girl, Edna Delosh. Miss Delosh went to work for tho Hurts in May. By July Burt wns making love to her and begging her to marry him. Ho told her he would go west and get n divorce nnd Importuned her so that, on thnt condition, she promised to marry him. But his Infatuation out stripped his patlenro. So Howard W. Burt was tried, con victed of murder In tho second de gree, nnd sentenced to Imprisonment for life. And it Is on the appeal from tho sentence that tho appellate divis ion of tho supreme court hns had re peated before It the strange story of this strange crime. FISHER'S SAD LOT.

John Sterling, a farmer, living two miles north of Bevlngton, la.. Is sup posed to have piled hay under the house and barn of his wife and sot flro to It. Mrs. Sterling nnd her child ren were awakened by the plunging of the horses in the barn, and man aged to save the houso. The barn, stacks and cribs and every outbuilding on the place were burned. Mrs. Ster ling had applied for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty. It Is supposed Sterling set fire to tho house and buildings out of revenge. Arter n long search Thomas Casey, n farmer, discovered him In a hole In a straw stack. When Sterling refused to come out Casey set fire to the stack. Ster ling remained In the stack until tho flames reached him, nnd then cut his throat and plunged through the flames, falling at Casey's feet.

In IiIb right hand and pointed straight at the boy's head ho held n revolver. Without uttering n word or n sound tho masked man walked up to Mrs. Burt, pointed the pistol at her, and fired. Tho bullet grazed her chest, Just ovor her heart and passed through tho fleshy part of her left arm. She staggered, but mil not fall. Tho assassin, then held the muzzle of tho pistol within six Inches of her face, but the woman dashed It aside Just in tlmo. It exploded and the ball was burled In tho wall of the room. At this her assailant struck her heavily over the head with tho weapon, sending her to tho floor. The boy nnd girl meanwhile had made their escape. Mrs. Burt staggered to her feet and ran out tho front door.

Savago was arrested, but bo com pletely proved an nllbi that ho was loleased. At this fltago of tho game District Attorney Halo took hold of tho affair and followed it up with Sherlock Holmes methods to a solu tion. With tho fact to start from that Mrs. Burt was undeniably tho In tended victim, nnd the vory reasona ble theory that tho assnesln know that It was sho who usually answered nt tho door, Mr. Halo started to work. Vory earlyln his cautious Inquiries, Mr. Hnlo began to got glimpses of a mysterious shadowy figure soon on tho rood betweon Potsdam nnd Mr. Burt'a houso on tho evening of tho crlmo, Tho crlmo was commlttod nt 7 o'clock. Between 5:30 and 7 o'clock OVERREACHED HERSELF. Woman Said un Aniile Man Laid HiiiiiU on Her. This is n story of actual occurrence. The principals are a high-born society woman nnd n watchman In the Navy Department. On a recent holiday, wheu the great granite building which con tains tho State, Wnr and Navy Depart ments was closed (to nil save a favored few), sho presented herself nt tho Navy Department entrance. Ho barred the way. Sho gave her name nnd said she wanted to see Mr. So nnd So, nam ing a well-known army officer. Tho messenger said the building wns closed to visitors, and that she could not come In that doorway under tho rules. He ndded, however, that if sho werit around to the War Department en trance sho could send her card to tho ofllclal she desired to see. Sho waa visibly vexed, but was compelled to ac cept his suggestion and walk around to the main entrance on the avenue. The sugestlon worked all right, and tho lady was soon unbared Into the pres ence of the ofllclal. Sho told of her ex perience, and ndded tho stntement that tho watchman had Insulted her grossly by placing his hands on her. The offi cer wns naturally Indignant, nnd at onco laid the case before the captain of tho watch. That ofllclal said ho would Investigate tho matter, nnd that It the doorkeeper had offendod In the manner described ho would ho dismissed. Shortly afterward he returned to tho officer and said he was satisfied tho principal charge wns not true, for the slmplo reason that tho watchman who wns complained of had no hands, hnv lng lost part of both nrma In nn acci dent, their plnccs being supplied with nn Iron contrivance ending in hooka. Tho offlcor remembered tho man and was entirely satisfied with tho explan ation. What he said to tho lady is not known, but his faith in tho veracity of tho fair sex is not so strong as It was, Washington Star. For years It has been the ambition af fishermen and fish lovers to re stock tho Thames river with salmon. For this purpose the Thames Salmon Association was funned, and has done good work, which some dny may re sult In accomplishing tho object for which tho association was organized. Hut a new disturbing element has en tered tho question. Whereas there can be no fishing In the Thames now because the fish refuse to live In those foul waters, when the river Is mndu so clean that fish may live thero tho public fishing privileges will bo cur tailed seriously, If not entirely ubol ished. Tho land under water near tho banks nnd on both sides of tho river seems to belong to private per sons. In tho Middle Ages llio mames, then n pure and limpid stream even at London Bridge, gave a prolific yield of salmon; nnd thero Is n tradi tion that a special clause was lusorted In the Indentures of London '"prent ices," that they should not be com pelled to eat salmon more than twice a week. As time went on, however, tho growing foulness of tho river brought about n notlcenble diminution In the number of salmon taken by tho netsinen In the higher reaches abovo Teddlngton, until, In 1822, n magnifi cent clean-run fish of forty pounds, the last of his race, was netted In the neighborhood of Boulter's Lock, nnd was forwnrded by Its captor to King Wllllnm IV. Since that date salmon In the Thames havo been extinct. With tho disappearance of salmon from tho Thames tho rights and priv ileges of the riparian owners all along the river from London to Crlcklado became comparatively valueless, and wero therefore, allowed to lapse, hx cept In Isolated cases, no objection was taken by tho riparian owners to tho fisherman using tho Thames as his playgioiind, until as tlmo went on the public began to regard the priv ileges thus conceded to thum as their rights, and even went to the length of contesting the strength of their ease on several occasions In various of tho law courts, but In almost every Instance with disastrous results to themselves. Those lights of tho riparian owners will hold nn Important position In tho event of tho cffortB of the Thnmea Salmon Association proving successful. Tho Thames, from end to end, had ns many, or perhaps more, monastic bouses on Its banks thnn nny other river in tho kingdom, nnd nearly tho whole of Its fisheries wero tho prop erty of these houses. At their dis solution, however, their fisheries enmo with tho rest of their property Into the hands of the king, who transferred them for services rendered to his own favorites. Theso grants, ns It wns proved some twenty yenrs ngo by tho evidence given by tho Roynl Com mission on tho Thames Fisheries, arc ns valid to-day as they wero whon they were transferred from tho mon asteries to their next owners. With tho exception of Isolated Htretches, at Reading, Abingdon, Oxford nnd. porhaps, ono or two other places of minor Importanro, tho whole of tho Tlinmes from tho City Stono at Staines to Crlcklude, In Wiltshire, Is In private hands, and although that portion of tho river from tho mouth of Its estuary nt Ynntlet creek In Kent to tho Frco Water Stono belongs to the public In perpetuo, thero Is no knowing what ancient rights may bo brought to light, and how far even on this part of tho Thames tho lib erty of tho anglers may bo restricted If It ever again becomes a salmon river.
