When Detectives Drummy and Mitchell took Into custody last night two men who gave the names of Jake Roblnowltz and Jake Brown they captured a pair of the most per sistent nnd Ingenious thieves that were known to be at large. The two men have made n specialty of breaking open nnd rob bing freight care , their operations having been carried on for many months without the police being able to establish a case against them. Strict watch has been kept for them at the railroad yards for several weeks , but It was not until last night that an oppor tunity was offered for their capture. Shortly before midnight word was sent by a watch man to Captain Donahue that two men driv ing a light wagon were acting suspiciously In the vicinity of the Northwestern railroad yards. Two detectives were detailed to ar rest the suspects , having been instructed to catch the men In the act of robbery If pos sible. The detectives kept the- thieves under sur veillance until they drove to ono of the side tracks and alighting from Ihe wagon un locked a loaded car scaled and ready for shipment. Just ns thfty finished carrying a quantity of copper from the Car to the wagon they were placed under arrest. Rob lnowltz attempted to escape by slipping down 'between the wagon and the car , but he was caught and held fast. The car of copper was the property of L. Harding , Junk dealer , nt Twenty-first , and Izar-d streets. Five hundred pounds of the metal was stolen. Brown lives at 1912 South Tenth street. The other man the police were unable to Identify last night , but ho has been suspected for several months of 'being the thief who has Btofen from time to tlmo a large quantity of "pig" lead from 'tho ' Smelting company's cars. Ho had In his possession a. skelcon Key which would unlock almost every kind of car. KtLLY MAY YET RECOVER Operation of Trcimniilnp ; .Sncrcmdilly Performed on the Injured Mnn'x Skull. Drs.

The skull was fractured and a piece of the bone was pressing against the brain. The opera tion was the single chance of saving Kelly's life and he is now rotting well. Word was received at midnight from Bhorlff Laugford cf Tekamab that ho has under surveillance three horse traders whose description corresponds closely to that of Jones and his companions.

The witnesses were duly sworn by the lerk of the court , who had them repeat ifter him the usual formula , and the case hen proceeded The lawjer on the op- iQblto sldo made his opening speech , which vas beard distinctly In my otllce and was Istened to without Interruption Then ho all l his witnesses and the cross-oxam- natlon proceeded without a hitch , the ques- Ions and answers being easily beard and I 'he ' various parlies falling Into tim ( ti 'ti < , novel prtioodlnRt * * easily n th < > URli fhfre hnd been nothing unusual Ruing on When t nsVed All ( tip questions I wished to I onlled tny witnesses and pave the other aide A chance to cross-examine.

IiiehlcntH Ilclntoil by n CorrcMimiulciit nt Manila , Men In Manila who have aneoclated fre quently with. Admiral Dewey , writes a cor respondent of Leslie's Weekly , have begun to realize the true greatness of the man. His simplicity , naturalness , and affable man ner , almost approaching familiarity , inva riably mislead one nt a first meeting. Go aboard the flag ship , ascend the gangway , step upon the deck , as white almost as the duck uniforms of the officers , and send your card to the admiral. You half fear this fa mous Idol of seventy millions of people will not sec jou. You take a scat aft and wait n few moments. Mr. Brumby , the admiral's flag lieutenant , suddenly interrupts your reverie. "The admiral will see jou , " ho says , nnd you rlso nnd follow him down to the admiral's spacious quarters. The door opens and a beautiful Chinese "chow" dog bounds through before you and Jumps up on the admiral's logs , for the hero has arisen and Is advancing to meet you. "I am very happy to see you , " ho says. "When did jou come to Manila and what Is the news from America ? Take this chnlr. " And the admi ral , having shook hands , gets you a chair nnd , after you nro comfortable , takes one himself and continued , almost before you have had a chance to answer him , "What do you think of my dog ? Hob , get down , charga there. Isn't he a beauty , though ? He was eent me from China Bob , behave , " for the great bouncing pet is trying to lick Ills hand. Of course you feel at once nt homo and quite at your best. You launch Into all the nous at the end of your tongue and go away after half an hour's chat to flnd yourself surprised athow intimately you know him. His mind once made up , his Judgment never falters. I know of more than one roan who has mistaken Admiral Dewoy's af fability for weakness , only to regret it bit terly. -well-known Instance in Manila -was : hat of a prominent newspaper correspondent who was permitted the freedom of the flng- flhlp. One day this correspondent , who was frequently in the habit of chatting inform ally with the admiral nnd , interrupting him n his work , blurted out : "Well , admiral , what are your plans re garding future action hero ? " "Plans ? Plans ? " the admiral replied In surprise. "How dare you nsk the plans of action for publication ? Get off this ship and don't you let ino sco you hero again until you know more. " The correspondent realized Ills mistake , jut too late. He got off nnd has since been allowed to resign from the paper he rep resented. Admiral Dewey is one of the best specimens of Americanism our country has iroduccd. Ho Is fearless to a point llttlo CBS than recklessness. Not once , but cveiy week ho visits the tiring lines , and ho takes chances thnt make every one present fear for his safety. His character dhows that simplicity nnd approachablllty are attribute's of true worth. He Is not adverse to fondling ils pet dog , nor Is be found wanting when ho harsh measures of war are needed. When , ono day , I showed him a number of photographs of the dead insurgents , ho exclaimed - claimed ; "Poor follows ! Too bad , too bad ! Isn't t a pity we have to do It ? " Then ho added , cntrontlngly , "Don't send them home , they are too horrible " The admiral Is quite proud of his "gallery of beauties , " as bo calls the array of photo graphs that decorate his cabins on the Olympla. "This one , " ho said , "writes mo he Is a distant cousin of mine. Isn't she pretty ? I'm sorry she Is so distant. I wrote , thanking her , nnd told her I was iroud to acknowledge the relationship Wouldn't you be ? " The admiral's cabin Is stored with re membrances frpm admirers , and , to mo It seemed greatly to his credit that ho wan ; ratlllcl by the gifts that were sent him 'I'm afraid , though , If I keep them all aboard I should have to enlarge the ) lympla , " ho said. And so ho would Kor here are books by the hundred , cases , cups , , albums , statuettes , table services , om- brolderlcd , paintings and knick-knacks ; alore , to say nothing of the hundreds of ( ) uttons and pictures of himself adorning everything from a medal to a beer tray.
