WHAT CAUGHT THE BURGLAR.
Or , HOWARD DUCEY'S ' TRICK.
BY RUOBNB WOOD ,
I.
"I hardly know wlmt to do nbout It , Mr.
Mr. O yes , Mr. Boughlon , " said Mrs.
Duccy to the stranger. "I know nothing
about the business , nnd Mr. Ducoy was
called away unexpectedly to Randall , and
won't be back until tomorrow. I had much
rather you waited and saw him. "
"That Is Impossible , madam , " said Mr.
Dougliton.
"If jou paid mo the $2,783 I couldn't give
you a receipt In full of the account. "
"That- makes no difference , " he replied.
"It would clear off the debt rfgalnst mo. In
spite of all I could do I got hero too Into
for banking hours , and It Is of vital Im
portance that I leave for Chicago tonight ,
I should esteem It n great favor If you took
the money. "
"Very well , then , " said Mrs. Duccy. and
made out a receipt. While she was counting
out the crisp bills Nnnno , the maid , an
swered the door bell , and In spltr of her
perplexity In the handling of unfamiliar
money matters , Mrs. Ducoy perceived that It
was sonic peddler , and an Insistent ono at
that , for Nanno grow quite Impatient with
him. "No , wo don't want anything today.
No , no. Don't you dare put your foot In the
door. "
As Mrs. Ducey bade Mr. Doughton fare
well she seemed to note a figure loitering
behind n clump of trees at the corner of
the epaclous dooryard , and a certain uneas
iness crept over her as she realized that she
held a sum of money largo enough to Induce
many n reckless man to commit murder. It
did not tend to quiet her at all to remember
how rural the street seemed with the buds
junt starting and the tips of the trees tak
ing on a gauzy veil of faint yellow green ,
She wished then that there was a safe In
the house , but In default of that she hid
the money In the old place , In the far lower
left hand corner of the upper drawer of the
dressing case under Mr. Ducey's shirts and
felt easier for nwlille.
"O , Mrs. Ducey , " said Nanno , "tho ncrvo
of thlm peddlers. Sure I tought ho'd never
go 'way at all , and you countln' that money.
I wonder did ho see It. And did you take
notice to how ho hoong round In the street ,
O , Mrs. Duccy , I wisht we had a man In
th' house this night. We're that far from
the neighbors wo might wako up In the
marnln' dead In our beds and nobody know
It but oursllves. "
"Mamma , Is tea ready ? I'm most starved. "
shouted Howard as ho came bursting Into
the room Ilko a young whirlwind.
"Why , wo'vo got a man here , Nanno , " said
Mrs. Ducey.
"If you please , ma'am , " giggle * Nanno.
Id Ilko him a little bigger all round
barrln' th' appetite. "
"What's the matter with your knees ,
Howard ? I declare It's ono woman's work
to look after your stockings. What makes
you rattle BO ? "
"I've been playing marbles. "
"For keeps ? "
"M hum , " responded Howard sheepishly.
"Do you know what marbles you won ? "
" 'Course I do. That's from Charley
Meyers , nnd these two are from Harry
Elliott , nnd this 'aggy1 I got from Willie
Dodson and , 0 , say , mamma , burglars got
Into Willie Dodson's house last night and
Etolo their silver nnd Mrs. Dodson's watch
nnd Willie's $20 gold plcco that his grandpa
gave him , nnd Just listen : They went
through Wllllo Dodson's room nnd it waked
him up , and ho said : 'Is that you , papa ? '
nnd the robber said : 'Yes. Hush up ana
go to sleep , ' but Wllllo knew by his voice
that It wasn't , but ho was too scared to say
anything and Just let the burglar go on. "
Howard raced ahead on this topic , know
ing that it would divert his mother's mind
from making him promise to give back the
marbles he bad won.
"I would holler , wouldn't you , mnmnia ,
and wake papa , and then ho would get up
and shoot the burglars , wouldn't he ,
mamma ? "
"And what would the burglars do ? I'd
rather they should take everything in the
house than hurt papa or you. "
"That's 'cause you're a woman and
afraid. "
"Aren't you afraid of burglars , too ? Sup-
NANNO GKKW QUITE IMPATIENT WPJH
HIM.
pose they came tonight when papa is
away ? "
"I don't know. " mused Howard. "You
wouldn't let mo have his revolver , of
course. But I tell you what ; they shouldn't
bave my things without a fuss. "
"In the meantime , suppose you try what
hot water and soap will do toward getting
Ihoso knuckles of yours a little moro like
civilized people's. By that tlrno tea will bo
ready. "
.II. v
Do what she could , Mrs. Ducey was not
entirely able to suppress n feeling of un
easiness ns the evening wore on. There was
the unacustomed responsibility of the money
which -Broughton had paid. Then the
peddler had hung about with such persist
ency. . Howard's story about the burglary at
the Dodson's was not quieting by any
means , but above all nnd through all was
the feeling that If there were only a man In
the house but there were only those two
love-lorn women and a llttlo boy. She kept
Howard up for the sake of his company till
oven ho was satisfied that ho had stayed up
just as late as "grown folks. " When a boy
spends the major part of his day out of
doors at rough play bedtime finds him an
easy victim of the drowsy god , and there
cnrno a time when Howard's gasplngs and
gurglings as ho fell asleep in the arm chair
wore more upsetting to the nerves than was
mere loneliness.
He stumbled off upstairs to bed. His
mother heard him footing about on the
smooth hardwood floor of his chamber , and
then all of a sudden arosn a sharp rattle.
"What's that , Howard ? " she asked.
"It's Just those marbles fell out of my
clothes. " he sleepily responded.
To most of us the bed Is the surest refuge
In time of trouble. There one can find for-
( otfulness , If It is to be found In any place.
To this huvcn of peace Mrs. Ducey crept
away , ' though the veil of sleep which fell
about her was 10 thin that she heard the
first footfall of the burglar on the tin roof
of the Veranda. For he did come. It seemed
lo Mrs. Ducey that ho must hear her heart
Mt , so loud was 1U tUmor on her ribs.
She heard him open the window stealthily.
Bho heard his clothing rub against the win
dow frame of Howard's room. Ho must have
been a clumsy , Inexpert burglar , for he
struck his shin ngalnst a chair nnd ripped
out a whispered oath or two. And then the
hnlr of her flesh stood up , for she heard
Howard's clear treble demanding : "Who arc
you ? What do you Want ? Get out of here ! "
"H'sh 1 Go to sleep , " whispered the bur
glar. "It's papn. "
"No It's not. You're a thief. Got out. "
"Shut up you little devil , " hoarsely mut
tered the man. "Shut up , or I'll choke your
wind off forever. "
"rolled" screamed Howard , slipping out
from under the'bed clothing.
The man madc'a-IUngo at him , but slipped
sideways , and before ho could recover him
self his head struck with a dull crash. Ho
groaned nnd fell on the floor.
In nn instant Howard cleared the bed ,
dared up the gas' and o\t : \ himself upon the
prostrate burglars h9ad.
"I'v ogot him n&atnmat" & ho cried. "I've got
blm ! Hun here , "quick ! Call Nanno. " As ho
spoke he slipped/from his great too the loop
of the strand of twlno which when stretched
across the room njid tied to a rocking chair
had made the primitive burglar alarm that
had wakened him. In a Jiffy ho had bound
the unconscious criminal's wrists together
with the string. Then ho buckled the In
truder's ankles together with his book-
strap.
"I've got him mamma. " ho cried to her
his eyes snapping Ilko coals of fire. "Nnnno ,

THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY
&
Organisation of an Army Corps of Electrical
Engineers.
ASSISTING THE ARMY OF INVASION
i

tlcn far the Home.
The American army of Invasion of Cuba
will have the finest corps of engineers and
electricians known In the history of war-
faro. Authority to organize nnd equip the
corps was granted by congress , and the
plans are < bcing carried out as rapidly as
practicable. Both the plans and formation
of the corps originated with" Captain Kugeno
Grlflln , vice president of the General
Electric company of New York. Ctiptaln
Urlllln Is n graduate of West Point , and was
a captain In the engineer corps of the army
until about eight years ago , when ho re
signed to go with the General Electric com
pany. Ho Is (0 ( years of , age , a magnificent
specimen of manhood , of attractive manner
nnd n master of his specialty.
In speaking of his project while In Wash
ington , Captain Grlllln said :
"When I first spoke to the president about
It ho was enthusiastic and told mo to KO
right ahead , even going so far as to say
that It the required legislation could not bo
secured in any other way , ho himself would
recommend to congress that It bo passed.
Secretary Alger was Inclined to think : it
first that It was asking for too many men ,
but when I allowed him by the reports that
at the conclusion of the war the proportion
of engineers In the Army of the Potomac
was 4 per cent. In Thomas' army 5 per cent

Ing to the marble that was Willie Dodson's aa
It still spun on the oaken floor , retaining
the impetus It got in sliding from under the
burglar's foot , "I'm not going to give him
that back , for that was what caught the
burglar. "
CATS MAKE HIS LIVING.
A California Hcclunc Who Keep *
Them ( or Ilcnt in IltiHlnein Men.
There Is an odd little man named Echnler ,
who lives In an odd llttlo house in the heart
of the busiest portion of San Francisco , who
earns his bread oddly enough. His business
Is the raising of cats , which ho puts Into
warehouses , stores an j other places infested
with rots and mice , and his Income is de
rived from payment for the services of his
pets. f
"RalstngfCalsMs my business , " he said tea
a reporter .for o Call. "We get along all
right , don't we , kitty ? " Kitty settled down
on his knee and purred bet' answer.
"I see enough pf them tto like them , " he
went on , "fotu-I-fccd between ICO and 200
every morning. , This , " pointing to a large
basket , "I take full of meat , and that can
In the corner Is filled with milk. I go first
to the warehouses on the docks and then
come further uptown to the business houses.
"I do not often sell a cat. I raise them ,
train them for a while and then place them
In some warehouse or store where the serv
ices of a cat are necessary. Then for so
much a month I take care of them. Would
you Ilko to BCO where they play ? If you
come this way I will show you. "
Ho opened a door and took mo into a
queer llttlo court. Three sides of the en
closure are banked by buildings as old as
the house where the cats live. The fourth
side Is a big brick structure , modern style.
An attempt at a garden had been made , but
oven the lonely green geranium looks sorry
and forlorn.
And the cats ! If there were many in the
houses there arc many more out hero.
Asleep In a box of excelsior Is a beauty. Ho
Is * marked exactly llko a tiger. As you pass
through narrow , yellow eyes glance at you.
If you bend to stroke htm there is a sudden
whirl nnd the next yon sea of the tiger he Is
on the roof of n shed gazing at you In rather
an unpleasant manner.
"Doesn't like to bo disturbed , " says Mr.
Echnler. Down a pair of rickety stairs into
the poor little garden and you hear ti great
scampering of llttlo feet and now the rooms
are full of disturbed kittens. They have
Just been fed and like to sleep a bit.
After a while wo go back into the house
nnd Mr. Echnler tells roe how he lost his
wife n few years ago and since then he has
lived all alone In the second floor of the
shanty. "My only son Is employed in the
Smithsonian Institution In Washington , " he
says. "It's a bit lonely here , but my cats
are company , you know. "
Why Klrpliniit * Krnr Mice.
It seems incredible that so small and
harmless an animal as n'mouse Is able to
frighten un elephant almost out of his
son < cii. Ono llttlo mouse In the hay on
which they were feeding will stampede an
rntlre herd. In their native land there are
lltilc nntmaU. known as cbacanas , which
feed on a small , sour berry of which ele
phants nru very fond. They live In settle-
tufnta. rouethlnc after the manner of
prairie dogg. under the berry bushes. When
feeding the elephants trample the little
towns and the chacanas. In their fright ,
run up the tubes of the elephants' trunks ,
Their leaK , sharp claws catch In the flesh
and they cannot be ejected. ' The more violently
lently the monster blows through Its celled
trunk the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animal become Imbedded In the
flesh. Inflammation and death are the re
sult.-In captivity the elephant * think they
are In danger of the deadly chacanas when
they see a taeutV
and In Sherman s army 7'per cent , ne
agreed with mo that 3,300 men of this class
would be none too many. The majority of
the members of the brigade will , of course ,
be engineers , for the regular engineering
work which will be necessary , such as the
rebuilding of the railroad in Cuba to afford
transportation to our troops , and for our
supplies , the building of bridges and the
usual work which must be done in a siege ,
If we are obliged to besiege Havana.
"In addition to these , however , we will
have a number of expert electricians and
photographers. Electricity and photography
are destined to play a part in this warfare
In advance of that to which they have ever
been put In any war In the post. I will
speak only of the practical uses to which we
now know they can bo put' . There IE n
belief existing that the present war will
develop electricity for use in warfare as a
means of destruction to the enemy , and
that is not unlikely. But , apart from this ,
there are ways in which electricity can bo
used which it would be deplorable for our
army not to bo able to take advantage of
In the Cuban campaign. <
"We can , for Instance , light our hospitals
In the field with electricity. When I men
tioned this fact to one ot the' senators
who participated In the late war , and re
membered how the. surgeons frequently
were obliged to perform delicate operations
upon wounded soldiers by candle light , he
said : 'That Is enough for me. I will vote
for the bill most heartily. '
Some Une of Electricity.
"There are many other practical uses to
which electricity can bo put. We can put
up powerful searchlights by which we can
direct operations against the enemy at night.
Think of the use a great number of such
lights might prove to our army In the siege
of Havana. Then , too , we can use electri
cal pump's Instead qf'tho old style , and I
think wo can put electric motors In the field
to move our guns. The army will have to
have a number ot topographical engineers.
In this connection I may mention that the
United States array which will Invade Cuba
will have the benflt of a new invention of
the greatest possible value. Trot. Pierce ,
who Is at present attached to the staff of
the governor of Maryland , and who Is much
Interested In the movement which I have
been endeavoring to push along , has In
vented a process for taking ; a horizontal
photograph , so that our generals , instead of
having to bo content with the old-time
reconnolasance sketch , will bo able to have
a photograph which will give them juat
such a view of the land which they ex
pect to occupy as they could have If they
stood themselves on the hill upon which
the photograph was taken.
"What I may call preliminary recruiting
for the engineers and electricians' brigade
is now going on in Now York , Boston , Phil
adelphia , Chicago , St. Louis , San Francisco
and other cities. While It Is desirable that
all the officers of the brigade should be men
of education and experts In their profession ,
It Is by no means necessary that all the
enlisted men should be so , The only quali
fications necessary for the enlisted roan are
that be should bo a man of between IS and
40 years , of good .character and physical
condition , and possess such a general knowl
edge of engineering or electrical work as
these men acquire who are engaged In such
pursuits. The officers of the * General Elec
tric company In all the large cities will
know Just who the available men are and
will assist the recruiting officers , who wilt
themselves bo ot the engineering corps of
the army. In my opinion wo will be able
to get the very pick of the men of this class
In the United States. "
Some experts of high repute In engineer
ing and electricity are associated with Cap
tain Griffin In his efforts to form the pro
posed brigade. Among them may bo men
tioned Ira Shnnlcyypnrtncr of John D. Crlm-
mlns , one of the i best known contractors
In New York , who > hat had charge of some
of the largest engineering contracts In the
world ; Dr. Louis Duncan , an ex-naval officer ,

One of the especially Interesting features
of the electrical exhibition now In progress
at Madison Square Garden In New York
Is the explosion three or four times a day of
a submarine mine beneath a toy cruiser. The
performance occurs in a large tank nnd Is
the center of greatest Interest at the ex
hibition. The mine is placed about six
inches under the water , so that the people
can get n good view of the entire operation ,
nnd when It is exploded the llttlo craft re
turns to the water , but ono paper remarks
that the splashing Is regarded as qulto an
honor. The scientific Interest In this exhibit
lies in the fact that the mlno Is exploded by
a system of wireless "telegraphy. " The
transmitter Is placed up in the gallery , nt
least fifty or sixty feet away , without any
connecting wire , and the receiver coherer Is
placed right at the sldo of the tank. When
ftho transmitting apparatus sends Its
Hertzian electric waves through space nnd
through the crowds of people Intervening ,
the filings in the glass tube of the coherer
pull together In a string , so to speak , nnd
close the local circuit of the mlno battery ,
whereupon the explosion occurs. Thus are
the visitors dally receiving suggestions of
the possibilities not only of future warfare ,
but military signaling and the transmission
of ordinary messages. Of course , the sys
tem is far from perfected , at least , so far
as Its commercial value Is concerned , but the
exhibitions at the electrical show promise
wonderful things , and those , too , for the
near future.
Klcctrlcnllr Propelled Crulner.
Richard B. Palnton , who has presented to
the navy authorities a plan tor electrically
propelling a cruiser of average size at the
rnto of forty knots an hour , appears to bo
very confident of the working capacity of
his invention. Ho would have a cruiser
built expressly for Its exploitation , and the
craft should bo not lees than 600 feet long.
Mr. Palnton proposes to employ anywhere
from ten to sixteen Independent propellers.
Short lengths of shafting , Independently
operated , are to bo adopted , so that if any
mishap should befall a part of the equip
ment the vessel could still bo driven at n
fair rate of speed. Should Mr. Palnton'3
electrical cruiser fulfill his expectations It
will falsify a great many prophecies the
sources of which nro entitled to respect.
It Is generally thovght that it will bo many
years before it will be posslblo to propel
a large ship across the ocean at high speed
by electricity. Storage batteries might cer
tainly be used fan the purpose , buf their
weight'ls prohibitive. * A'yeswl requiring an
average of 10,000 horse-pow r to propel It
across the Atlantic would have to carry
324,180,000 pounds ! ot such batteries. In
other words , the motive power alona would
weigh 162,210 tons , e
Eectrl nlt Quackery.
An Fsgllsh coroner has condemned In
so'vro terms the usaiof electricity In medi
cine by person's whoiare utterly unqualified
to use It. As no-said , in some cases , elec
tricity Is beneficial , .but in others It might
aggravate a disease-mud accelerate death.
"He could not understand why people did
not go to a reputable hospital for treat
ment. " The case .which elicited thcso com
ments was of am artist 71 years of age ,
who had died In aihoipltnl presided over by
a roan who clalmedjto bo a medical elec
trician. It seems that while this "profes
sor" had no medical qualifications , he
treated with a free hand , by electrical de
vices of different kinds , consumption , throat
affection , blindness , short sight , internal
disease , tumors , Influenza and the volco
of public speakers. The strong card of the
"professor" seemed to be the X-rays. With
these he claimed he could secure remarka
ble results In the cure of Impaired or even
lost eyesight , and he "had found the rays
useful In many diseases which caused a
weak circulation. They ro-anlmated capil
lary circulation. " The cutaneous troubles
arising from the Indiscreet application of
X-rays are now quite familiar to the pub
lic , and It certainly seems strange that there
should still be people ignorant and In
credulous enough to allow a quack to turn
the. rays upon them.
Keyhole Finder.
An electrical engineer in Buffalo has re
cently fitted up bis house with a great va
riety of novel electrical arrangements. If
he arrives home in the night after the
usual lights have been turned out bo has
no trouble in finding the keyhole In the
front door , for as soon as ho steps on the
porch floor at the top of the front steps ,
lights on the porch and In the vestibule are
automatically lighted. After ho gets in and
closes the door these lights are extinguished
and those on the first landing of the main
stairway are lighted. If ho desires to light
the hall , the bath room or any of the bed
chambers before going further , ho opens a
secret panel In the vestibule and turns the
proper switch.
When a caller arrives and rings the bell
members ot the family who may bo In any
part of the house can speak to him without
leaving the room where they are , and It
they wish to admit him can do so by merely
pushing a button. ,
Should burglars try to enter the house
their efforts will not only ring an alarm
bell , but at the same time the electric
lights on the porch and In the vestibule
flare up and expose him to the gaze ot
the occupants of the house and the police.
The temperature ot each room In the house
Is controlled by electric devices which can
be set to any degree wanted. The use of

In 1TC2 a UritlBh squadron composed of
thirteen ships , under the , command of Ad
miral Cornish , entered the Day of Manila ,
relates ( ho Hrooklyn Eagle , and demanded
the surrender of the citadel. The request
waa refused. Manila \\as bombarded.
The city was defended at first by 000 men
and eighty pieces of artillery. The Drlttsh
forces consisted of l.GOO European troops
( ono regiment of Infantry and two com
panies of artillery ) , 3,000 seamen , SOO Sepoy
fusllccrs and 1,400 Sepoy prisoners , making
a total of 6,830 men. Two thousand I'am-
pangos finally came to the assistance of the
Spanish soldiery. Zunlca , a Spanish his
torian , says the llrltlsh spent 20,000 cannon
balls and 5,000 shells In the bombardment
of the city. Finally a landing was effected
by the British and the city was captured.
The Spanish historian says when the British
general reviewed his troops after his Hag
had been hoisted over Fort Santiago 1,000
men wcro missing , Incl'udlng sixteen officers.
Among the number wcra a major , fatally
wounded by an arrow , and n vice admiral ,
drowned while coming ashore In a boat.
In the capitulation , the whole of the archi
pelage WM surrendered lo the British' , yet
a Spanish magistrate declt.icd to surrender ,
Issued to the Islanders an appeal to arms
and proclaimed ' himself' i tcrnor general.

There were Incessant conflicts between the
British and the Islanders from 17t > : ! to the
23d ot July , 17C3 , when n British fixate

Some weeks later the Britishers evacuated
