WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES Notes and Commsnts About Matters of Local Interest. Chester Reporter, Aug. 20: Mr. Geo. W. Robinson, who lives In the Old Purity neighborhood, had a valuable mule taken out of his stable Saturday evening, and yesterday morning the mule was found strangled to death. Some miscreant had ridden the animal ofT, with no worse intention probably, but had fastened a halter about the mule's head in slovenly fashion with the result that the animal's leg became tangled in the rope and the mule was strangled. Mr. Robinson was in Yorkvllle Saturday evening, but his little boy heard a noise in the lot and went outside to see what was the matter. One mule was out, and the other couldn't be found. Yesterday morning Mr. Robinson was summoned home when it was learned that one of the mules had been stolen; and a trail across the fields resulted in finding the muie imcriea on Air. i . vv. ouaiuiini o place and dead. Three arrests have been made in the case, all three parties being colored. They, are Ed Shannon, Arthur Stevenson, and Bill Brice, and all are in Jail. The mule was worth from $275 to $300, and was an exceeding valuable animal. Sheriff Colvin, as soon as apprised of the theft of the mule, promptly notified Sheriff Hunter, of Lancaster, Sheriff Hood, of Fairfield. Sheriff Long, of Union, Sheriff Buford, of Newberry, and Sheriff Brown, of York The beautiful little bungalow on Walnut street, the property of Miss Emmie Sanders and occupied by Mr. C. I. Jones, was badly damaged by fire which was discovered between one and two o'clock this morning and was undoubtedly a result of last night's fierce electric storm. Mr. Jones was asleep in the house alone, his wife and sister having gone to Atlanta Thursday, and it was only after the fire had spread from the north side of the house to the south side that he discovered the blaze and made his escape. The fire was burning slowly, owing to the fact that the house was tightly closed, but as soon as the fire department arrived and some of the windows were opened the blaze began to burn with new ardor, and despite the splendid work that was done, the beautiful little dwelling was almost totally destroyed. Most of the household furnishings were likewise a total loss. We understand that there was insurance amounting to $1,500 on the dwelling, while Mr. Jones carried $1,500 on his furniture, which included, however, the entire array of valued wedding presents, and entailed a loss of several hundred dollars over and above insurance. HE "SET THE PACE. Career of Black Prince, the Worid'e Greatest Crook. By wearing the navy blue uniform of a hotel porter the Black Prince Alfred has been enabled to preserve his incognito in New York ever since his return from the coronation at London, until a few nights ago his fondness for showier attire brought him to the attention of three Central Office detectives, says the New York Telegraph. They picked him up at 8th avenue nntt 41st street as he was 8Winging along with the air of a cosmopolite, wearing a natty summer suit and carrying a slender red cane which was really too slight for one of his international reputation to lean upon. "As I live it is the 'Black Royalty,'" said one of the detectives. All three of them shook hands with the muchtravelled African mogul whose origin was on 10th avenue in New York city, and whose ability as a lone-hand "gun," or pickpocket, has made him the subject of gossip in police circles all over the world. They told him that it vj-as socially incumbent upon him to come down to police headquarters and make the acquaintance of the younger detectives, and they lugged him along somewhat facetiously while the greatest continental crook of the darky race grinned affably and offered mild protestations that his presence in New York at this time had no "diplomatic" interest. It has been about five years since this shiny-faced piece of human charcoal did his "bit" of one year on Blackwell's Island. His picture is in the Rogues' Gallery at police headquarters in New York, and his cynical smile adorns the large album of malefactors cherished by the authorities of many other cities for purposes of identification. Although it has been said that the Black Prince was always on his good behavior when in New York, the records of the police department and the recollection of senior detectives prove that the ability of his mental forces is by no means commensurate with the dexterity of his long, tapering hands in the art of picking pockets. He has been in trouble with the police many times. He is so fond of bragging about his greatness as a crook and telling of his experiences abroad that careful detectives would not think of putting him under the third degree, for the reason that he would talk himself into an early decline and pass away with tuberculosis of the vocal chords before his trial could be reached. It is related of Black Prince Alfred that he once went into an all-night quick-lunch emporium and, while waiting to be served, discovered a "card of doDe"?where some woman of the underworld had left It beside her plate. The Black Prince thought this lucky find was molasses and he devoured it with the gusto of his race. In about five minutes he was talking to himself volubly about his determination of going out and breaking all the crapshooting joints in Hell's Kitchen. He was a votary of the feeble-lampo'd reams. The Black Prince was called the African Prince by admirers of his own race, when he first began a career of crime in New York, and he essayed to be the best dressed "coon" in Hell's Kitchen. His right name is Alfred Woods, his favorite alias James Ragsdale, also Alfred Lexdalem, alias Alfred Laxdale. He would permit his own kind to call him a "coon," or a negro and take it all good part. But when arrested by Central Office men, it was his habit to inform them that he was a "colored gentleman." The Black Prince has always boasted of his acquaintances among the "white folks." And it is a fact that he was so well received among the thieves of the Caucasian race and a certain dissolute class of white women here and abroad that he actually came to believe that he had a social status far and above that of the ordinary negro that robs a chicken roost and goes regularly to prayer meeting. I Although he generally worked alone the Black Prince was always fond of the companionship of white "guns," or pickpockets. He hung out with them at Fox's saloon at 35th street and 7th avenue, New York, which was torn down about five years ago. He was a good story-teller when It came to relating incidents of travel, and his experiences with the police in foreign cities. Central office men would drop into Fox's place just to see if the Black Prince would uncork something that would give them a clew to some other international crook. His Ebony Highness was regarded as a great wit, adventurer, gambler, high roller, pal and "gun" without assistance. It is said that the eminent nabob of his thievish crew is now about 48 years old. But he did not look to be nearly so old when picked up and turned out the other day. His term on Blackwell's Island was for attempted larceny in the vicinity of 34th street and 8th avenue. Immediately on being released he went to Boston, where he fell again for an attempted pocketpicking. He served another sentence of about a year and then went abroad. The Black Prince has been known In New York altogether for a period of about fifteen years, but he is equally abhorred in most American cities. His most cautious and successful work has been to hustle around in a hotel porter's suit, frequenting railroad stations and steamship landings, riding in street cars early in the morning and late In the afternoon, when persons are going to work or going home. The costume was for a long time his best disguise against police suspicion. The pickpockets of the white race invariably try to assume a neat and business-like address. Who would amaglne that a good-natured negro in a porter's jumper could alone turn a trick that generally requires at least three expert professional crooks. But the Black Prince needed no "stall," or pusher. He was and Isstill is an adept. A "stall" is useful for his nerve and ability as a scrapper. When the "gun," or principal In the pocket-picking job makes a mistake through nervousness or anxiety and is discovered almost in the act, it is the duty of the "stall" to interfere until the "gun," or "wire," as he is also called can make good his escape. The "stall" begins to cover the retreat by blocking the pursuit of the passenger who has set up a howl. "Here, look where you're going!" roars the "stall." "Whose foot do you think you're stepping on?" By the time the reason of the commotion is explained the principal has dropped off the car. Then the "stall" or "stalls" apologize to the passenget and one by one they ring the bell and alight in good order. But the Black Frlnce never carea to employ "assistance." In the first place his long, tapering fingers and deftness of touch have enabled him to get away with many a "poke" (pocket-picking) or "rock" (diamond used as a shirt stud) with the greatest ease and unconcern. And then, of course he has found it more profitable to work alone, for in that case he does not have to cut up the proceeds among other thieves. The Black Prince has been regarded by police authorities all over the United States as the ablest singlehanded "gun this country has ever produced. On rare occasions the sociability of the Black Prince led him to "fill In," hustle, with one or several of the white comrades in crime. To "flllin" 1 A /V# (Kl n\?oa means, in me panauvc v*. to help constitute a "mob," or gang engaged on a business errand. Some of the white friends In this rascally element In New York have been: Paddy Rags, Eddie Maloney, Lester, Johnnie Roche, Jack Regan, Sheldon, A1 Blair, Tom Malone, A1 Anderson, alias Little Al; Kid Duffy and a few others with whom he exchanged experiences and compared notes, or lent a hand at odd times when they appealed to his professional pride. The Black Prince has enjoyed the reputation of never deserting a member of his "mob" when such member would fall Into the grip of the police. He has always sent for a lawyer to look after the defence, and has supplied his unfortunate associates with every possible help In an endeavor to beat the "rap," which is a crook's term for an official complaint. In case of conviction and sentence he has always remitted "necessity money" at regular Intervals during the term of Imprisonment. At one time the Black Prince Alfred was reputed to be worth $50,000, and he was regarded as such an animated "sport" that the proprietors of rival gambling hoiises in the Tenderloin sent carriages for him In order to obtain his play. This always arouses him to the keenest pitch of vanity, and he would cheerfully lose as much as $1,000 in a night. The detectives bureau here did not pretend to have any case against the prince of darkness dude, but took him down stairs as a sort of habitual formality. He went along without a murmur. The same thing happened to him twenty nights In a single month. Before the passage of the vagrancy law it was the custom of the Central Office to order crooks to headquarters on the slightest pretext, whenever found in a crowd. As a rule, the defendants were discharged next morning for lack of sufficient eviddence to hold them. In times past this was brought about by what was known as the three-link system, the thief, the politician and the copper. But in recent years the vagrancy act provides for a maximum sentence of 100 days in the work house in such cases. Section 898-A, of the penal code of New York state, provides a maximum penalty of one year In prison and $500 fine upon the conviction of any pickpocket or other criminal found loitering in railroad stations, ferry terminals, on steamboat landings, in street cars, on omnibuses, etc, and acting in a disorderly manner, which means pushing or jostling. The Black Prince talked unreservedly to newspaper men on the occasion he was last "stood up" at police headquarters. "The first trick I ever turned," he said, "was In Australia in 1883. On a race track I touched a bookmaker for ?35,000 the day he landed the Melbourne cup. Then I went into the business, and my money went that way. Two years later I told the bookmaker about it, but he was a good sport, and he wouldn't 'squeal.' So you see I never done any time for that big trick. I have been all over the world since then." "Prince" Alfred wears a frock coat, a silk hat and a red necktie when the season is right and also carries a varied assortment of sticks with gold and silver handles. His first arrest was made in Melbourne in 1888, when he was sentenced to three years' hard labor and ten lashes. He is not so proud of the lashes. In 1891 he was sentenced at Sydney to six months, the following year to a like term and the year after that to seven days. In San Francisco in 1896 he got six months, and the next year in Sacramento seven months. After serving another year in San Francisco he was sentenced in Cincinnati to six months, and in 1901' in St. Louis he got two years. Then in Haboken in 1905 he drew another six months. Two terms, one of six months and another of one year, were meted out to him in this city, and finally, in 1907, he was sent from here to Boston for a term of three years in the Charlestown state prison. Through his experience as. a tourist he is esteemed by fellow "guns" as an excellent "roadster" or guide, and can tell them the dates of county fairs all TTnltn/I Ctntna nrl?ViA..? _ UV CI lite u 1IUCU oiaico niuiuui cunsuiting his diary. 3H0ES FOR THE ONE LEGGED. Single Shoe* Sold, end Two Pairs Broken for Some Customer*. When a one legged man buys a shoe the dealer sends to the factory for a shoe to match the one left remaining. In these days of the use of machinery in every process of their manufacture shoes are made with the utmost exactness and precision, and it is easily possible to mate that remaining shoe with the greatest nicety in size, style, material and finish. Few people have feet exactly alike. Commonly the left foot is larger than the right, so that one shoe may fit a little more snugly than the other. Ordinarily, however, people buy shoes in regularly matched pairs, the difference in their feet, If It is noticeable to them at all, not being enough to make any other course desirable. But there are people who buy shoes of different sizes or widths, in which case the dealer breaks two pairs for them, giving them to fit their feet one shoe from each. In such cases the dealer matches up the two remaining shoes, one from each of two pairs, Just as he would where he had broken one pair to sell one shoe to a one legged man. , But a man doesn't have to be one legged to ijpve feet of uneven sizes or shapes to make him ask the dealer to break a pair of shoes for Him, says the New York Sun. Here was a man with two perfectly good feet who came into the store where he was accustomed to buy and who wanted on this occasion one shoe. Traveling in a sleeping car, his shoes had been mixed up with others, and he had got back one of his own and one of some other man's, a fact which he had not discovered until he was too far away from train and station to make return and setting things right possible, and now he came in to buy one shoe to match his own. .W Newfoundland possesses 638 miles of railway lines. 1914 Our New Peri Is pleasing many women.

Robert Louis Stevenson's story, "Weir of Hermlston," was left a mere fragment. Another romance, "St. Ives," by the same pen, was running in a monthly magazine at the time of Stevenson's death. Here, however, readers were not deprived of a satisfactory ending, for the story was brought to a conclusion by QuillerCouch. "I hardly know what to say to the public about this abortive romance, though I pretty well know what the case will be. I shall never finish it," wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne, with reference to "The Doliver Romance," which he had undertaken to write for a magazine. This forboding was soon verified, for Hawthorne had scarcely time to do more than lay down the groundwork of the story and write the Initial chapters before he died. At his funeral in Concord the manuscript lay on hiB coffin. Soon afterward the first chapter appeared In the Atlantic, and subsequently the second chapter, which he had been unable to revise, was published In the same magazine. Several years elapsed and then a third frtigment, revised and copied by the novelist's wife, was plaoed In the publisher's hands. The original manuscript is now preserved in the Concord public library. Another serial that was being written when its author laid down his pen forever was "Denis Duval." Thackeray, indeed, was already in his grave when its publication commenced. Three parts and a portion of a fourth were all that appeared, and "the story," wrote the editor, "breaks off as his life ended? full of vigor and blooming with new promise like the apple trees in this month of May." With the fourth part was given a set of notes, taken from Thackeray's own papers, elucidatory of the subsequent development of the plot Thackeray's great contemporary, Charles Dickens, also died in harness. For a long time his health had been indifferent, but he stuck unflinchingly to the work he had in hand. On June 8, 1870, he died. The morning and part of the afternoon of that day were devoted to completing the sixth number of "The Mystery of Edw-in Drood," but scarcely had he finished work and sat down to dinner than he was seized with convulsions. After lingering some hours without regaining consciousness he died at six the same day. "I shall publish late in this year," wrote Laurence Sterne, "and the next I shall begin a new work in four volumes, which, when finished, I shall continue 'Tristram' with fresh spirit" This new work here referred to is "The Sentimental Journey," one volume alone of which was ever given to the world, nor, by reason of the author's death was "Tristram Shandy" ever continued. *ar "Bearson says his ultimate desire is to be a United States senator."
