serving a seven-year trm at Salem, was
also on the car, and the two seemed to
be working In conjunction. Both were
arrested, and Thomas was 'Convicted.
The most damaging evidence given by

he testified to having had with the de
fendant at the police, station alter the
arrest. Witness stated that the defend
ant told him he had but little money,
but that if he would not prosecute, 'he
would somehow repay him for the loss
of the diamond. He said he knew he was
In bad company, and that bs knew
Thomns to be a pickpocket. He did not,
he said, take the stone, but would be
glad to pay Its value to be released from

He inherited half a million from his
father, and ran through It In less than
five years. He acquired fastidious
tastes, refusing to eat off any but solid
silver plates. ' ,
When he found his fortune dissipated,
he quit Virginia and deserted his young
wife, leaving her penniless.
"When I first met Bruce," sale Miss
Hannan yesterday, "be told me he waa a
widower. We lrved together 14 months.
During that time he was frequently
away on business, as he said.
"I discovered subsequently that he

He replied:
: "The Manhattan Church believes in
calling the attention of the people In

church Is there. We have signs on the

should take advantage of the fact thai

One of the fetaws of tbe new building
of the C;ha- ot'iCataVnierco In New
York tKaf has attral great attention
is the enormous rug' upon the marble
floor of the large assembly-room. This
rug, which was designed and furnished
by Messrs. W. and J, Sloane of New"
York, 'is a hand-tufted Berlin, 59 feet 8
Inches by 87 feet Inches, and weighs
1,750 pounds. The rug Is the largest and
handsomest carpet woven In one piece
which has ever ' been brought to this
country, and it ts so 'heavy that It took
men to carry It into the Chamber of
Commerce Building.
It was hand-woven in Germany, and Its
enormous size precluded its being snip
ed in the hold of the steamsblp which
brought It to- this country, and it was.
therefore, placed on the deck, packed In
Kpeclally-made (Inc-llned cuse. The
total weight of the package was more
than three tons.
When the work of weaving this rug
was progressing it was necessary to
strengthen the looms' several times, aa
thn heavy beams nearly broke under the
wefghi and tension of theTBg; but the
main difficulty arose when the workmen
had to take the rug irom th loom to
finish and shear if, arid It Was finally nec
essary to take a portion of tbo outeide
wall Of the building away in order to re-more-the
rtigr -as the -other openings
proved too narrow. A noteworthy feature
of this rug is Its' great depth of pile and
eautiful even texture.
Pea Blowers' Banishment.
(Washington Star.)
"It ia a minor, -but ..nevertheless im
portant coincident of cHy Ufa. that a few,
days after the Issue of the order Jn
Washington that pea Diowera, popguns,
etc., were not to be allowed upon our
streets. ' said a police official this, morn
ing, "the Star published . dispatch
from Chicago, in which it appeared that
by reason of a boy blowing a- pea Hrte
tbe face of a motorman on. an electric
car, the pain caused him to release IWs
hold uoon the lever, and his car crashed
into a vehicle, injuring nine iferaons, '
The banishment of the air gun and
pea blower is ot more .importance than
appears at first thought. In the hands
of careless boys, children and adults,
often strangers and, ' Usually innocent
passersby have been, constantly hit by
the missiles these Instruments of torture
discharge, and serious accidents, such aa
the loss of an eye. werejrrequently re
ported to the police. ' Mtfhy of the air
guns -of recent manufacture discharge
a missile with almost "as- much force
as the old style pistols did With a small
charge Of powder. Being noiseless tbe
small boy fiend In Whose hands the
weapon la thoughtlessly and wrongly
placed by parents, 1 escapes unseen,
whereas he ought to be apprehended and
fined - as severely aa ( otberT offenders
against the peace. V --
"If 'these precautions to preserve pub
lic health and conserve public comfort
are continued Washington will be, one
of the few cities In this country where
the rights of ' pedestrians are guarded
and upheld. Another point In favor of
