Cigar giri who v.o.
br.cadv.ay ana lived
One Sunday mornn,
an. was seen iatejr ia?
ccacn at the Astn?
strange man. About
. tte body was found in .:
er^o.pposite the St v\.. .
Hoboken. Poe was In.
delphia at the time, but ??
York papers?at t a
were several flashy S b a
New York?and tro.n the
o? these Sunday pape^ ue :>?..
celebrated Marie Ro jo .
scene of the murder .n fc'arls )
O' New York. That st r;. and fh?c
Murders in the Rue Mor;- .e.
two stories that made Poe t'-*: o :;
both continents an 1 e^t b is ?; i9
reputation as a wr.ter of detec Ive
taies.
H s theory was that a young n"\\ii
olhcer nad gone with th s girl t >
hoboken, to tin Elysian Fie ds wh b
was not unlike the Coney Island of
to-day, but witfcou its large bulidings.
where people went on Sunday to
or:nk beer. Poe's theory, as brougnt
out in bis story or Marie Ropet. was
that the young naval officer had as
sau'ted the girl and choked her in a
small boat that he had previously
moored on the Jersey s.de, and that
he rowed down the river, threw her
oody overboard and escaped to b:s
vessel in the "ower harbor. In justi
fication of this theory Poe describes
marks on her back as haviDg been
the imprint of the ribs sf the boat
v.he-e she lay before being thrown
overboard. He also noted the tact
that a boat was found floating rn
the bay about where the Liberty
Monument now stands. That was
generally accepted as the solution ol
the mystery.
Superintendent Byrnes, in his
book on "The Criminal Ca^es of
America," takes up the Mary Rogers
case and puts another construction
on the case?that she was accompa?
tied by a dark man wh i came from
?Philadelphia and murdered her and
then escaped.
The giri's body was found in tbs
river nearly nude, but lir a thicket on
the shore of Hobo ken. arranged
w.th very dramatic effect. wer<* found
her belongings??at. shawl. &c,?to
give the impression-that the murder
bad been done there. Som? four or
live years ago, writes William M.
Clemens. I went to Hoboken and
looked into this case. 1 found, fifty
yean after, that there were fi\e liv
ing witnesses. 7 found one eld gen
tleman who was a constable in 1843
and endeavored to make an arrest in 1
the case 1 foun 1 there was a road
house run by an old woman and her
two sons, two rough, tough boys of
the Bowery, type, and it was proved
by these witnesses that this girl bad
been seen at the roadhout-:e. justify
ing the theory both of Poe and
Byrnes. But, going over the news
paper files, I found a small account
ot the finding or a man's body in tha
river off Fulton street without coat or
hat. well dressed, as a dandy of thel
tlay dressed; and in further investi
gating the case and talking with
these old people. I proved to my sat
isfaction that both the man and the
woman were killed in the road hous3
tor their money and both thrown in
to tbe boat, and the girl'* apparel
placed in the thicket to attract at
tention.. One of these witnesses was
arrested on suspicion at the time,
and afterwards moved West and di?
appeared. The other was drowned.
The Bachelors' Excuses. *
At a June wedding breakfast in
Plttsburg, the bachelors were^called
upon to give their reasons for re
maining single.
The following were among tbe
reasons given:
"I am like tte frog in the fable,
who, though he loved tbe water,
would not jump into *.he well because
he could not jump out again."
"1 aa too selfish, and honest
enough to admit it."
"i paeier. on the one hand. liberty,
refreshing sleep, the opera, midnight
supters, quiet seclus on, dreams, c -
gars. a bank account and club to?
on the other hand?disturbed rest,
cold meat, baby linen, EOOthlng
syrup, rocking horsee, bread pudding
and empty pockets."
"1 have a twin brother av.d we
have never had a secret from one
another. He is married. " ? New Or

Windsor chairs are thought by
many, to have derived their name
from v* indsor Conn., where they

origin and were made in England

The Training of Dogs.
Nowaday there is a groa' cra7?
tor acting dogs?dogs which come o
J.rt.e stasis**, and do Ui'mrs by them
I selves, in every case the tra'her be
gmp by leading tbe dog through 'b
rjovenwrt<* !)<? ha?- to make, and a
each h'sscn the trainer does ( v<u>tl>*
tne same thing in.tin* same way a?(
uses tbe same words in giving c
command.
*A dog is taught to beg by beinf
first backed up Into a corner when
be has two walls to'rest agains'. Hp
is taught to wa;k on bis bind logs by
by o<*ing led about in this po> tiot
while the trainer supports his fron;
legs, Jumping is a very easy trie!
to teach. The trainer begins b*
holding a suck .3 low down that tin
d?g cannot walk under it. |*y fir
grees tne stick is raised until the do,t
is compelled to jump In order to ge'
over it. and directly be does so be V
well rewarded. Performing dogs rp
ceive most of their food in tin
shape of rewards f'jr good conduct.
ICvery now and then one hears o
an outcry against the cruelty n
teaching dogs to perform tricks. Tin
?utcry may be justified Ic the case of
dogs that are taught to jump ovei
very high obstacles, because that b
about the only kind cf a trick which
can lie taught wrh a whip. It b
possible to "whip a dog" over a high
jump. The audience does not sef
the whipper because the do^ start?
irs ?-run up" out or sight at one side
of the stage. A whl|? is worse
tcan useless to tbe trainer who is
teaching a dog to do a trick hi which
the animal appears to thinii.
A dog Is taught to apparently dis
tinguish between colors by lea mine
a sncret signal givei, u? h:m by bis
trainer when he gets to tne desired
color. Sometimes the signal is the
snapping or the lingers done very
softly, and in ? way not noticed by
the audience. Sometimes the sig
nal is even less noisy than that, and
consists in the clicking of the nails
of the thumb emi first finger. Cucc
tram a dog ? pick a thing up when
he hoars Mir1 s'gnai lo do so. and you
have taught him a variety of tricks
such as adding up a sum, telling tne
time by looking at a watch and so
or.
hJlephunt vs. Railroad.
Elephants are one of the perils of
rail roar life In Indo-China. The
Bangkok Times says that when the
morning train from Baugkok was
near Ban Klap an elephant wa'ked
on in the track. The engineei
sounded his wi tev.e bul the elephant
trumpeted loudly, lowered its head
and charged the oncoming tr^in. Sr>
great was the impact that the ele
/.bant was killed on the spot and the
engine derailed and badly damaged
The elephant's tusks were smashed
off, but when a search was made foi
them they could not be found. Some
one hau walked off with them.
The man who sits down to wait
for fortune, too late finds that the
fickle creature went around the oth
er way with a more masterful mau.
