BURGLAR TAYLOR'S TROUBLES -THICKEN
Ite Iln * Ilcen Drawing a reunion for Tlirco
V nr * Which Wn * 1'nlimlily Uhtnlneil
\ > r frnnil Will Ho Turned
Over to Uncle bain.
C. Taylor , who was arrested Wednes
day | night whllo trying to rob a house on
Pierce street , was given a preliminary hear
ing yesterday morning in pollco court , nnd
was identified by the girl who owned the
stolen property as the guilty party. Ho
was bound over to the grand Jury , nnd as ho
was unable to furnish a bond of 1300 ho was
sent to the county Jail for safe keeping. The
developments made yesterday Indicate that
ho Is ono of the biggest all-around rascals
that has over sot foot Inside the Pottawat-
tamlo county Jitll. and the chances are that
he will bo given a chance to exhibit his paces
in the United States court for defrauding
the government.
At soon as Trtj-lor showed up at the court
homo yesterday ho was recognized by
Deputy Sheriff O'Brien as a man who was
sent to the penitentiary about seven years
ago for u year's confinement for burglary.
Ho worked his way Into the Kiel hotel ono
night , broke into a room , and was Just let
ting the occup.uit'i trunk down out of the
window when ho was discovered by the
proprietor and landed In Jail , His name
appears on the county Jail record no less
than eight times , once for burglary , once for
highway robbery , and the other six times
for larceny. ,
Ho aroused Sheriff Haron's suspicions
yesterday by his evident anxiety to got
possession of certain papers that were
among his effects. Ho asked for thorn three
times within a low minutes , and Hazen de
cided that if they were so valuable to Tay
lor they might bo equally valuable to him.
Air. Taylor Drinvn n lVn lon.
Ho accordingly wont through thorn nnd
found evidences that Taylor had bcon draw
ing a pension for the la t two or three years
on the strength of his enlistment as private
in company II , Thirty-ninth regiment of
Missouri volunteers. The papers indicate
that ho pretended to have lost his original I
proofs of honorable discharge , and managed I
to get a duplicate from the government. Ho
was granted a pension of $1'J per month on
account of catarrh in the head , deafness in
bo tli cars and rheumatism , and this pension
ho has been drawing ever slnco Juno 127 1
Ib'JO. The proof of discharge states that ho
enlisted September 1 , 1864 , for a term of ono 3I 3I I
year , at the ago of 18 years , which would I
make him 47 years of age now.
Ho gave Ills age as 30 to Sheriff Hazen
yesterday , and his appearance does not
make him out a day older. The ages ho has
given at the times of his various imprison 1t
ments ranged nil the way from ! ! 5 to 89 , but
if the ago ho gave yesterday was the correct
ono ho must have enlisted In the army at the
mature ago of 11 years. The most plausible
theory is that ho has gotten possession of
the lupcrs of some man who died , and lias
gone on drawing his pension. That ho has
actually been drawing it Is shown by the
fact that in his pocketbook is the voucher
for the pension which came duo July 4 , 1BU3 ,
and it is still unpaid.
I1U 1'iobiiblo Future Adclrcm.
A letter Is also among his effects , from J.
S. Swopc , I'JO'J Franklin avenue , Houston ,
Tex. , in which the latter calls him brother
nnd beseeches to meet him in heaven. The
papers will most likely bo turned ever to the
United States authorities today , nnd there
Is a strong probability that Mr. Swopo will
bo moro apt to llnd his dear brother in Fort
Madison than in heaven.

Ocean Current ! .
In order to add to the exact knowl
edge of ocean currents there are forms [
which are called "bottle papers. " ) 18n
these little papers an invitation , in six
languages , is extended to the masters of
vessels to enter occasionally upon the
proper lines of the form the name of the
vessel and her cantaln , the date and the
ship's position , and then to seal belie
paper in a battle and cast it into the
sra. In other lines of this form a re
quest is made , in the same languages ,
that the finder will write clearly the
exact place where and date when any
bottle was picked up and by whom , anil
then forward it tD the hydrographlo
olllco in Washington or to any of our
consulates abroad. Thcso bottles , of
cotinio , drift in the ocean currents.
Some are picked up soon after they are
thrown ovorbaard others drift
, for moro
than a year bofoi'o being recovered.
They furnish valuable records for moro
correctly fixing the currents already <
known.
ArtemnsVnr.l iiml Murk TwHln.
Artomus Ward had a favorite trick
that ho lovetHo indulge in , and out of
which ho appeared to got a good dual of
original fun , says the Californian. This
was the disbursing of a rigmarole lisof
nonsense in a bolomn and impressive
manner , as though ho was saying some
thing of unusual weight and Importance.
It was a game of mystification in which
ho greatly delighted. At a dinner
given him by leading Comstockers at
the International hotel , Ward played
his trick on Mark Twain ull
, present
being lot into the secret beforehand.
Ho began an absurd exposition of hoof
word genius , upon the conclusion of
which the embarrassed Murk was .
obliged to acknowledge his inability to
comprehend the speaker.
"Indeed ! " exclaimed Artomus. and for
half a minute ho gazed at Murk with a
face in which shade
u of impatience
begun to mingle with astonishment and
compulsion. Then , heaving a sigh , ho
euid ; "Well , perhuns I was not sulll- ,
clontly explicit. What I wished to say
was simply that genius Is a sort of illu
minating quality of ( JJifc mind Inherent
in these of conntttiit/iJAally / inflammable
natures , and whoso conceptions are not
of that ambiguous-nnd disputable kind
which may bo Pfil'l-rr ' = ' '
. . "Hold on , ArtoYrtfls , " interrupted
Mark. "It is usolewi < for you to repeat
your definition. Tho. wlno or the brandy
or the whisky or some other thlnR has
pone to my head. )1VI1 ) It to mo some
other time , or , bettor still , write it down
for mo and I'll study it at my leisure. "
"Ooodl" cried Artimns , his face beam
ing with pleasure. iWll give it to you
tomorrow in black iand white. I have
been much misunderstood in this matter -
tor , and it'is Important that I should
pot myself right. You see that to the eye
of a person of a warm and inllamniablo
nature , and in whoso self-luminous mind
ideas arise that are by no means con
fined to the material which conception
furnishes , but may bo "
"For God's sakol" crlod'Mark , "If you
go at that again you'll drive mo mad. "
The general burst of laughter which
followed this fooling and half'angry pro
test made it plain to Mark that Avtomus
had been sot to work on him with malice
aforethought , and that all present were
in the plot nnd had been amusing them
selves at his expense.
NEWS THROUGH A TELEPHONE.
Mr. Goilharil of '
lluiln-l'rith Telli of n
Unique Hubstltnto lor n Nenspnper.
B. von Harksinjr , Eugene Goddurd ,
nnd iStophcn Godhnrd of Budu-Posth ,
Hungary , were at the Ooatcs house last
evening and loft this morning on un
early train for Colorado , says the Kansas
City Star. Mr. Stephen Godhard told
of a novel way recently introduced in
Budu-Posth of
dissominitting the news
of the day. The Telephonic Guzotto
has been established there. It is not
printed on a perfecting press , in fact , is
not printed at all. The editor of the
Telephonic Gazette furnishes all the
news of the day to his subscribers by
telephone at a rate equivalent to sixty
.cents a month. The subscribers are
given a telephone of a special pattern ,
for which they pay $0. It receives but
does not transmit Bounds , excepting
from the central olllco , which is the
oilico of the Telephonic Gazette.
The telephonic instrument occupies a
space of about live inches square and
has two ear pieces , so that two persons
can listen to the sounds on the wire at
onco. At 0 o'clock in the morning the
first edition of the Gazette is announced
by the simultaneous ringing of a boll in
the houses of the subscribers nnd the
business man and his wife listen to the
stories , of the events of the night. The
editor is talking to hundreds of other
subscribers at the same time and ho has
the instrument so arranged that inquis
itive housewives must content them
selves with his precise statement of the
news , and not ask whether the follow
was married or not : He hasn't time ,
this telephonic editbr.i , to answer all the
questions women might ask , or go into
all the details of the news. Ho states it
in a laconic way. ,
The second edition appears at 10
o'clock , when the foreign news comes
over the wire'in a , condensed form for
twenty minutes or less , according to the
amount of foreign news on hand. At 11
o'clock the story of the meeting of Par
liament is told , along with divers items
oi a local and political nature. The
price of stocks is given , and the wise
broker may have time to hustle out and
get "long" or "short1' on certain securi
ties in time to1'save his bank account.
At 12 o'clock there'.is , no edition. The
editor of-thb Tolopno'nic Gazette , unlike
other editors , euts"and is blessed with
that desire aboullliJ clock. , At 2 o'clock
ho begins again ) though , and gives a
concise statement of the debates in Par
liament , telling just what members
have been knocLad down and often giv
ing the story of the resignation of the
ministry , reported so often in Hungary
that it sticks on the wires.
-At 3 o'clock the editor in the central
ofllco opens up on local news again. He
tolls about fires , riots , and other happen
ings of the day in Buda-Pesth. Ho gives
his subscribers a chance to rest then
until 6 o'clock , when he gives literary
news and society news , never giving
more than five words to the description
of any ono woman's gown. Sometimes
ho repeats the latest poem at 0 o'clock.
This 0 o'clock edition is popular with the
women , and the editor speaks in a soft
voice. The 7 o'clock editon is the last.
It gives the reports of concerts and plays
in progress.

THE SOCIAL DEBUT OF HELEN GOULD

Among the many social debuts that
will take plnco In Now York during the
coming winter the ono that will exclto
the most Interest is that of Helen M.
Gould , only daughter of the great
Inancier and his favorite among all his
children. "
The entrance into society of this young
woman is likely to bo accompanied by
lot a little stir and comment. Miss
3ould has passed the ago when young
women are as a rule Introduced to the
social world in a formal way. She is no
longer a young girl in the strict sense of
the word , for in the matter of years nho
Is very fairly into the twenties and is
ijravo and womanly beyond her years.
She will represent $15,000,000 or moro
jf her own , all good hard cash , or , what
Is as good , railroad securities whoso
tendency is ever upward , and property
that is always increasing in value. She
owns the splendid Fifth avenue resi
dence her father so long occupied , and
the great mansion at
Irvington-on-tho-
Hudson , wllero the Gould family spent
the summer. Thcso great properties
are the exclusive possession of Miss
Gould , and they are gorgeously and
completely furnished throughout. To-
irothor they are worth quite * 1GOO,000.
So , whllo Jay Gould in his lifetime
had many and fierce criticsand although
that sometimes nebulous element known
as the best society rather looked down
on' the famous money maker , there is
no likelihood that his daughter will bo
cavilled at unless it bo by ambitious
matrons with young daughters of their
own in the market for disposal to the
highest legitimate biddor.
Miss Helen Gould is not strikingly
handsome , but she is very sweet and
womanly in her manner. She need not
fear that she will become u , languishing
walltlowor in the ball and reception
rooms that she will figure in during the
social season now drawing near. Her
recommendations to favor uro too many
and too weighty.
But as for fortune hunters , they may
as well keep their distance. Along with
her mother's amiability and sweetness
of character she has much of her father's
keenness and strong common sense.
Hence , while she will bt3 a/buu worth
the plucking , the man who would perform -
form that feat must look well to him
self , for ho will have no gushing damsel
to deal with.
Few young women who figure or rca
soon to liguro in New York's social whirl
are so little known as Is Helen Gould.
Even the leaders in the circles where
she is to otitor do not know the young
woman well. They know , to bo sure ,
that she is the daughter of the late Jay
Gould , that she is said to bo a good and
charming girl and that she is enor
mously rich. Their fund of information
runs out at this point , and they are wait
ing with some curiosity to add to it by
moans of personal observation.
The social debut of Miss Gould has
bcon delayed considerably beyond the
time that it would have bcon made by
the deaths of her father and mother.
There was never a daughter moro devoted -
voted to her mother than was Helen
Gould to hors during the latter's de
clining years. The two were very like
in tomparamont , and their constant com
panionship made the daughter tho'coun
terpart of her mother in disposition and
manners a result that was good for the
young girl , for while the wife of Jay
Gould never figured in society , but
always shrank from so doing , she was
none the less a superior woman in many
ways.
Tbo death pf this mother throw the
young girl upon her own resources. She
could not enter into society , and , indeed ,
had no wish to do so. Instead she de
voted herself to her father , who had become -
como partly an invalid , and up to the
time of his death she was his mainstay
and his solace in his hours of suffering
and sickness.
And < o it is that Miss Gould will enter
nto society a comparative stranger to
ts members.
These who know Ilolon Gould give evi
dence that she is attractive both in ap-
) earanco and manners. Rather retiring
ind unassuming , she still has that power
, o charm that marks some young women
of moro than ordinarily qufot demeanor.
3ho is not what would bo called a beau-
, iful woman , but she is a handsome ono
.akon from either a man's or a woman's
point of view.
Of medium height , Miss Gould is a
jrunotte , but not a very pronounced ono.
[ lor hair is dark , but not of the inky ,
ulackncss that marked her father's hair
and beard , and her eyes are of the undu-
Inablo shade that is neither dark nor )
brqwn , but that scorns to change and
alternate. Her features are strong with-
3Ut the hard lines that were worn into ;
lior father's face , and they are further
softened , by the sweeter and moro
amiable traits that came to her from her
mother not strictly beautiful , as has
boon Buid , but Htill a woman whoso face
would command moro than a passing l {
glance no mutter where seen. She is of
graceful figure and the walk of ono used
to pedestrian exercise. Such is the
greatest heiress in America as she is
con today.
Miss Gould's name has rarely , if ovo1
appeared in these pupors that assume to
borvq up the small boor of New York so
ciety to those who like that bert IOof
thing. Nor do you often bee it in the
greut dailies. But when you do it is al
ways connected with some uct of boncvo-
lenco that has been performed so quietly
that oven the keon-eyed reporter has
stumbled over it by sheer accident.
Work among the city poor wus Miss
Gould's hobby before her purentb died ,
mid slnco their deuth she has hud moro
time and more means to continue the
worK.
Jay Gould himself never posed as a
benevolent man or a philanthropist. Ho
used to sny it wus of no use that hu
would Iw merely assailed , and would not
have his motives questioned. That he
was in a way right was shown when
about a year before his death there wus
a mooting held in his house on Fifth ave
nue to further church work in Now
York. Ho did not originate the idea.
The ministers asked permission to moot
lu his houso. Ho gave the permission ,
and ho gave in addition his personal
check for $10,000 to help the work in
hand , und in addition chocks for binuller
amounts in the numo of other members
of Ids family. For this Gould wus scari
fied by the press , religious and koculitr ,
whlco pronounced him un ostentatious
hypocrite and several other things be
sides. It wua his first and last experi
ment of the kind , According to the
New York Huruld it wus his daughter
who hud brought the affair about , hop
ing for u very different verdict on her
father' * action. After this affair she
ucted as his ulmonor und his numo never
figured in her workulthough his check
book wus practically at her command.
Mistf Gould's method of doing good IB
f practical. ! She does not send a check to
this or that charity and then rest In
j swrot content , her duly dono. Her
method is more like the parish visiting
system that great ladies In England
sometimes affect as a fad rather than
for a hotter reason , .lay Gould nnd Ma
family were attendants at the church of
Dr. John U , Paxton , who prcnchos to
more wealth , perhaps , than any other
pastor In New York. Misa Gould whei
in Now York always identifies horsel
with all the mission nnd bonuvolenl
organizations connected with this
church nnd has always stood a9 ready
to do real work as to contribute In
money. She hni acted us a Sunday
school teacher and , being a sweet-
tempered young woman , was a success.
As a volunteer parish worker she has
been Invaluable , fur whllo being gen
erous her strong common souse kupt her
from being humbugged by chronic
paupers.
Her favorite homo is her late father's
summer house at Irvington , upon which
htvspeul a fortune , ami to good advan
tage. The house remains her property
and Miss Gould spends muc h of the
summer there , to the great satisfaction
of the poor of the neighborhood.
Much was written during Jay
'
Gould's lifetime of the splendid hot
houses connected with his Irvington
homo , in which almost every known
kiud of rare plants and ( lowers Is culti
vated regardless of cost. It is said that
the famous financier used to smile grimly
when complimented upon his skill and
tnsto In lloriculturo. As a matter of
fact the multi-millionaire had very little
to do with his conservatories save to foot
the bills. He liked llowers in a negative
sort of way , as ho liked most of the
things that his favorite did , but he left
the management of the llowors to his
daughter and the expert llorlculturist
whom he employed.
Miss Gould has always bcon moro
quiet in her tastes than most young
women of largo means. It is and has
boon with them the fad to go in for
sports ) and games of almost all sorts.
Yachting nnd coaching onmo first and
loss important methods of enjoyment
follow in their order. Miss Gould has
not , so far as is known , displayed pro-
llcionoy in any of these linos. She is a
famous pedestrian nnd a good horse
woman. Her retired lifo has made of
nor somewhat of a student and she is a
skillful musician. If she ever had liter
ary tendencies , as at ono time her father
had , she lias carefully concealed the
fact. She is practically mistress of her
vast fortune , but it is not likely to sillier
at her hands , for she is bald to have as
keen a mind for business as oven her
brother George , now the head of the
family and chief coiiborvator of the vast
Gould interests.

For some reason it has always boon
the general belief among the people
who live in the mountains in York ,
Lancaster and other counties in Penn
sylvania , where copperhead snakes
abound , that this venomous snake will
not bite children , and there are numer
ous wonderful stories told , especially in
the Wish mountains , about the copper
head's leniency toward children. Out
side of the mountaineers thcso stories
have ncvor received credence , but a
well known family living on the York
county side of the Susquehanna is
ready to accept them hereafter. The
family consists of Jacob Loan , his
wife and two children , the youngest
a little girl 3 years old. Copperheads
are always uncomfortably plentiful in
that locality , says the Harrisb'urg Tele
graph , but this season they have been
moro numerous than usual. The haying
and harvest hands have killed from
throe to ten a day during the past week |
on the Loan farm.
Ono day last week the little 3-year-old
was playing in the front yard , and her
mother noticed her sitting in the grass
near the front gate. Every now and
then she would bo heard laugning glee
fully , and Mrs. Loan finally walked out "
to sco what was amusing the child so
much. When the little girl saw her
mother coming she called out to her :
"Como , mamma , and see the liyo carpet -
pot rags ! "
At the same time she held up to her
mother a snake , which she grasped in
the middle of the body , and which
twisted and squirmed in the air. Mrs.
Loan saw at once that it was a copper
head. Although she was almost swoon
ing with terror the child's mother acted
with rare presence of mind. It occurred
to her that if she showed her alarm by
crying out to the child the latter would
undoubtedly become frightened , and the
change that would naturally follow in
her handling or sudden dropping of the
snake might anger the copperhead and
cause it to bito. With a great effort ,
Mrs. Loan said , qaietly and coaxingly :
"Fetch it to mamma , dear. Don't
hurt it. "
"But there's two of 'em , mamma , " re
plied the Uttlo girl. "I'll fetch 'em '
both. "
She reached down and picked up an-
