of Pittsburg have spread not only CASTRO

NEW YORK NEWS NOTES.
Adventure. Of a Poor Young Man.

INEw YORK BUREAU SPECIALIST
NEW YORK. November IA haggard. scared
looking young man staggered into an Eastside
police station this morning, and begged for pro-
lection. The young man gave his name as
William ]. Scott. He was faint from lack of
nourishment. and trembling for fear. After he
had eaten tremendous breakfast he told his
story. He arrived here from Ireland ON Octo-
Der 4, and put up at lodging house on the
water front, where he met DR.. Volta Maurice
Demaine. The next day he and Demaine took
double room together and trouble began.
When Scott attempted to leave the room he
found he was prisoner. Demaine said he
would kill HIM if he went out. He said: II kill
man every week. and will kill YOU" He ex-
hibited several clippings from newspapers
which told a story of DR.. Demaine killing An
tony P. Fisher, and his subsequent exoneFation
from the crime by the Coroner's jury Scott
was obliged to hand over all his money to his
new friend. and when that was exhausted be
was forced to write q note for more
to friend Of his father. De-
maine delivered the note collected
and spent the money. This operation was per-
formed frequently during the next four weeks.
Demaine pawned all of Scotts baggage.
During Demaine's absence last night Scott
escaped through window, over back shed
and through a back alley. Demaine was ar
rested this afternoon and arraigned in the
Tombs Police Court. He denied Scott's
charges and said he supported Scott since his
arrival here. He did this from charity, he said.
Justice O'Reilly held the accused without bail
to answer About two years ago Demaine was
employed as clerk IN the Madison Square
Church Mission lodging house. He was then
arrested for causing the death Of Anthony P.
Fisher, 54 years old, lodger in the house. He
put the man out of the house, and Fisher fell
and sustained injuries from which he died in
Bellevue Hospital week later. Demaine was
held without bail to await the action of the
Coroner. The church people objected to his
being locked up. but all the influence which
was brought forward to have him released did
not have the necessary effect Finally the case
was called before ex-COroner Nugent, and the
jury exonerated the accused. He was then dis
charged. He never returned to the mission,
and has since earned a living, he says, by
peddling and working as salesman. Scott
sent to the House of Detention as a witness.

Carlo settled down again, and, quick

A True Story.

One spring not long ago we had hen
tot Matched quite brood of little
chicks, some speckled, some brown,
days old the mother hen became so sick
that she could not scratch for her fluffy
little brood. In the flock of big chickens
was little red rooster, which had al
ways been selfish fellow. He would
drive all the others away from their
food and eat it himself, and we called
him mean and greedy. He was getting
pretty old, too. But the meanest crea-
lures have some redeeming qualities, if
one can only find them out. So with
this little red rooster; when he found by
some sort of instinct that the mother
hen was unable to care for her little
chicks, he took entire charge of them,
stood by them in danger and never let
them go hungry. At night no marched
them to roost and staid with them. They
grew and thrived under his watchful
care until they could care for themselves.
Now among these wards Of his there
proved to be several pullets. When
they were old enough to look around for
nests, in which to lay their nice white
eggs, the faithful little rooster followed
them. AS they sat on the nest he would
settle himself near and remain until
Miss Pullet announced with furious
cackle that a new egg was in the nest.
He lived to be quito old, and by his
kindness to the little family he had
voluntarily taken charge of, he won the
kindly interest of the entire household.
He was sick several times and we
nurse him back to health. But at last
he died. This is every bit a true story.

which are to be found detailed accounts
OF the career and character of hundreds

These records form colossal pyramids in
the lumber rooms, and are alphabetically
arranged according to the names of the
persons whose histories they chronicle,
so that when any one comes suddenly to
the front, or is compromised in any

no difficulty in laying their hands on the
official summary of his or her antece-

Detected by Photographs.

During the last Belgian maneuvers,
General van der Smissen had ordered
some photographers to be stationed at
various points on the maneuver field.
At the end of the operations he had the
proofs brought to him, and could there
by ascertain that frequently his instruc-
lions had been neglected. Thus at the
passage of ford he could see that many
soldiers, instead of fastening their cart
ridge pouches to their rifles, as the in
structions prescribe, left them where
they were, whereby they got wet. He
also observed that no ropes were
stretched across the stream to mark the
ford and to enable the soldiers to hold
fast on in case the current proved too
strong. A good many other things the
General is said to have found out, and so
the photographers will probably become

Mayhap it is the amber tinge
That suns the ripples of your hair.
Or your dropped eyelid's curved fringe
That sweetly watts me there.
Mayhap it is your brow that vies
With almond blooms that fall and float;
Mayhap it is your low replies
Clear as a bulbuls note.
Or your lip-line that redly shows
Like the pomegranate's ruddy heart;
Or yet your cheek so like the rose
When its pink petals part.
