Ilicliliii:; That of Charley Koj,.
"Why are children stolen? Xot ruany
of tlu m are kidnajnd in the hoje of e
cuniary reward. CuM's of this sort, such
as the CharKy IIts.- aItluction. are rare,
l'cvengo may i the motive in exception
al instances, hut usually it turns out that
the ire:its of the stolen child were ut
terly unknown to the abductors. That
the incentive is a jure love for children
anil the desire to have a chil.l is dis
proved by the fact that nine times in ten
the stolen one is wo!':iJ!v abused and
maltreated. I'robabi.v the. most satisfac-
ury explanation is that certain people
are affected !y a peculiar mental de
rangement which promj ts thesn to the
commission of the crim without malice
nforethou-'ht. It is. in fact, child klep
toman ia. although this ptvuliar phase
of mania has not been dignified with a
scientific name of its own in the lxok.
NOT OFTEN KCiC LOVE.
Even this theory falls short when we
think of the nuiucr:is cases in which,
-without apparent motive, two or three
persons unite t do the stealing. They
cannot each be af.Iicted simultaneously
to such an extent.
That a child stolon hy a partially insane
person should be inhumanly treated is no
cause for wonder: it naturally follows
that any one with so distorted a sense of
right and wrong. i:-o:-osarily without a
moiety of love or feeling, would not ho
capable of ten i-.-rucss or even considera

Ch.-istian K. Koss lived in a handsome
I dwelling, i.ulateil by a large ard. in
(Jerii'.antown. a Philadelphia suburb.
One July afternoon all of the family hap
pened to he absent save two young broth
ers, aged 4 and S years. They were play
ing together in the front street when two
men drove up in a covered wagon. One
of the men jumped out and addressed
the little loys. offered them candy, and
finally pur.suaded them to take a ride.
After driving a short distance the elder
brother was given some money and sent
on an errand for more candy. He re
turned in a few minutes, but the wagon
had disapjeared, and Charley Koss has
not been seen to this day. The crime was
committed to extort a ransom for the re- I
turn of the child, but the abductors' fear '
of capture was so great that no agree-
:ncnt between them and the father was
ever successfully carried out. The search
for the missing child was pursued un-
ccasingly and thorougldy. Prominent 1
I hiladelpluans interested themselves in
the m.:tter, and seemingly no stone was
L'ft unturned. Countless trips were made
to Lurope, every gypsy camp in the world
was searched; the identity of over 400
children was investigated, but without
avail. Two men were fatally shot while
committing a burglary on Long Island
the following year, and while dj-ingcon- !
fessed that they had stolen the child, but ,
did not divulge its whereabouts. I

Von ilcr "Wetteru'n Collection of Deer
Horns, Guiu, Etc.
Mr. W. Von der Wettern, Sr., who re
sides at No. 413 "West Saratoga street, is
one of the best posted sportsmen in Bal
timore. He was originally a forester in
(Germany. The ritlo is his choice gun,
and, while he is fond of small game
i hooting, large game has been his favor
ite sport. That he is a master hand at
rifle shooting a case of twenty gold med
als attests.
Like all ardent sportsmen Mr. Von der
Wettem has preserved many trophies of
the chase, his collection of deer and
other horns being one of the finest, if
not the finest, in this country. The
horns number over 300 pair, and are val
ued at over $10,000. They were all beau
tifully mounted by Mr. Von der Wet
tern, and, as he keeps them for his own
pleasure, the immense amount of work
which ho has spent on them has been a
source of pleasure.
On reaching the fourth floor of Mr.
Von der AVettern's dwelling the visitor
finds himself confronted by a passage,
the walls of which are studded with
mounted horns, under which are a lot of
cages filled with song birds. The horns
are of all kinds and so arranged above
and alxnit the cages as to remind the
looker on of a rose bush with its thorns
guarding the roses. In two rooms lead
ing from the passage are neatly and sys
tematically arranged nearly 300 pairs of
horns. The mounting is artistic. Each
pair is a true pair, being attached by the
frontal bone of the animal to which they
belonged. By the means of screws pass
ing through this bone the horns are at
tached to the shield shaped wooden
panels, the size of the panels being in
neatly iftted into a "lit e sized ;heau" car veu
from wood. Tho horns are nearly as tall
as a man, and it takes a lengthy pair of
arms to be able to span the distance be
tween the top prongs. One horn contains
nine and the other seven prongs. Another
pair from a Montana elk, though con
taining but twelve prongs, weighs thirty
six pounds. The lightest pair weighs
eighteen pounds. Deer horns from dif
ferent species of deer naturally form the
larger part of the collection. The finest
specimen is from a black tailed deer
killed in Colorado. It has fifteen prongs.
The others range down to one prong.
Among the deer horns those of the Ger
man noble deer are the most beautiful.
the colors ranging from light brown to a
seal brown and black, tho tips of all
being jolished white. The largest of the
collection has fourteen prongs.
Mr. Von der AVettern's firearms are all
adapted to the sport to which he is de
voted. Besides a regular target rifle, he
has a case of guns of foreign and domes
tic patteros, generally of smaller bores,
from 12 down to 16. Some of them are
combination guns for shot and ball. One
fowling piece has two sets of barrels of
different caliber which fit the same stock.

Besides the horns the sanctum contains

Mr., Von der Wettern has not as yet

on each pair he has attached a ticket
which bears the name of the animal from
which tho horns were taken. The most
striking of the horns are those of the

How to Deal with tJinlitlieria.
A committee of the Massachusetts
Medical society, appointed to confer with
the6tato board of health relative to diph

society, both collectively and individu
ally, should foster as far as they can a
proper sentiment in tho community as to
the contagious nature of the disease, and
more especially should encourago its
earliest possible recognition and report
to tl-.o board of health in each individual
case. By theso methods a public Eeiiti

authorities a suitable separate hospital
for th. treatment of infectious and con
tagious diseases: such, for instance, as
are required by law in England, with
ample means for support, and over which
tlie re i-hall be absolute authority, as al
ready exists over tho hospital for small
pox. In the absence of tiiese necessary
facilities for thorough isolation it is im

Lady Travelers.
A great deal is said and written tend
ing to show that the gentler sex know as
little about traveling as the sterner sex
know of fjishion plates, but it is about
time to call a halt on that proposition.
Traveling by rail lias become so common
that there are very few ladies, emigrants
excluded, and among that class the men
know as little as the women, who are
not jerfeetly capable of taking care of
themselves on a journev of a few hun-.
dred miles. They are as speedily served
with tickets as tho average man. and
more readily TLpcsed of than manv of
the latter, and ;.-:k fewer questions as to
when the tram will depart, where it can
be found, how often they will lie com
pelled to change cars, etc. The age is
progressive, and in railroad traveling
the ladies are keeping right up with the
procession. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
