TOO MANY PAWN TICKETS
The Young Thief Hartnett Hired for
a Drug Clerk.

A rather prepossessing young man OF
about thirty years OF age, with strawberry
colored hair. mustache and side whiskers,
dressed in light clothes, answered an adj
vertisement for a drug clerk and was en-
sconced behind Druggist Hartnett's coun-
ter at the corner of Warren and Mont
gomery streets last Friday.
Yesterday afternoon the dapper young
man profe5sed WEAKNESS of the drug
business and said he guessed he would
leave. He demanded his salary, which
was not due till the week ended. Some
thing in the fellows manner aroused the
druggists suspicious.
He Immediately rang up an officer from
Police Headquarters and Chanceman
Steel responded. On searching the priso-
ner and his effects, which con-
sisted of d few articles in a
hand valise which ne kept in
the room over the drug store which he
had utilized for sleeping appointments. the
officer found two bottles of perfumery
and a hand mirror.
The goods were valued at but 50. 25, but
Mr.. Hartnett, believing that he had been
Systematically robbed by the new clerk,
ordered his arrest.
A subsequent search revealed among
the articles in the valise a nea package
containing several dozen pawn checks for
articles pawned in New York and PhiIa-
delphia.
Tbs number of checks for overcoats led
Police Captain Farrier to the superstition
that he might possibly be the boarding
house thief for whom the New York and
Philadelphia police have beer looking for
the past month, and detectives have been
put upon the trail of the pawned articles.
The thief was promptly committed for

Ice Contracts and Straw Bids.

1t may seem to the Board of Free
holders to be the appropriate thing to
do up an ice contract in a straw bid,
but the exposures made at the meet
ing at Snake Hill of the utter want of
value that marks the securities that
bidders offer to the county for the per-
Torrance of their contracts are none
the less surprising. The Freeholders
made no secret of the fact that no
contractors can be held by their sure
ties to the faithful performance of
their contracts. If that be the case,
here is the point at which this reform
Board of F~reeholders might begin its
work of reformation. When they
have corrected this evil, there are
countless Others that will demand
their attention.

She Runs a Sawmill.

Miss Eliza Jane Easter, a very esti-
Unable young lady and daughter Of
Michael Easter, a Justice Of the Peace
for Scott District, owns a saw and
grist mill on Camp Creek, which she
operates in person, conducting the
business and running the machinery
in a manner which would put to
shame many a dusty Miller Of the
sterper sex.
While she did not engage in the
business of saving logs and grinding
corn as a matter of choice, but rather
was brought into it by force of circum-
stances, the young woman hes taken
great interest in her work and has
shown remarkable business capacity
and physical endurance.
Formerly engaged in teaching
school, Miss Easter had managed to
save a considerable amount of money,
which she was induced to loan for in
v%estnent in the milling business, and
eventually, in order to recover the
nou she had advanced, was COM
PEELED to assume the proprietorshIp OF
the mill. Entering upon the respon-
sibility of the management she soon
found that without the immediate
supervision of an interested party
but little work was accomplished.
Constant repairs were necessary
about the machinery and engine-the
crown sheet was burned and there
was too much monkey business among
the hands. She had employed an en-
%gineer, asawyer and a miller. butte use
her own language as expressed to a
Record reporter, when the boiler
would have steam enough to run the
saw it would be found necessary TO
lace a belt, and by the time that job
was done steam had down and
thus hours would consumed without
saving a line"
So Miss Easter determined to enter
the mill herself and take personal
charge which she did about two years
ago and has ever since run the engine,
saws and buhrs with her own hands in
an admirable and profitable manner.
She has become an expert mechanic,
and the products of her mill enjoy a
reputation equal to that of the best
Boone Co.. Record.

Bonnets.

For a youthful wearer,a lovely little
model of a capote consists of a round
crown of apricot, vielle rose or green
velvet, drawn around a small open
centre of back jet, and edged above
and below with the same, the front
being composed of black lace and mar
row black ribbon. A pretty autumn
bonnet is of folds of dead leaf velvet,
mingled with maize, the close shape
being long behind, and edged with a
wide gold ank silver trimming. The
sauna bonnet looks we'll in various
combinations of color, two pretty x
amples, respectively, being dark green
and seal brown, relieved by one subtle
touch of old gold, and brownish coral,
with moss green. Cloth bonnets will
be much worn again, and are made
with muffs to match the gown; they
are quaint and becoming.

Essex County Republicans are
stacking their hopes up against the
proposed contest in the Courts OF the
Freeholders' bill, in the biggest KIND
of a way. They have already tested
the constitutionalality of the new
Freeholders' act in the Supreme Court,
and found it effective. They have
now decided to take an appeal
to the Court of Errors, but
they are angling for higher fish
than the control of the Freehoiders'
The appeal is TO take the form OF an
attack upon the bill by which the
| Legislature last year redistricted the
State. The question involves not
only the legality of the cleo
ton of the Freeholders in Essex
on the basis of the new
district lines, and SO the election OF
the new Board on the new lines estab-
lished i'll this county, but attacks the
legality of the election of members OF
Assembly under the bill. This is the
objective point at which the pursint
of the Freeholders' election contest is
aimed. 1t is in the hope of reestab-
fishing the old Assembly lines all over
the State by wiping out the bill of last
winter that made new lines.
The basis Of the fight is the fact that
in redistricting the State the Legis-
lature left out of all the districts a lit
tie corner bordering on the Morris
Canal i'll Essex county, and so dis
franchised a total of fifteen votes.
The maps this guided the Assembly
in marking out the new district lines
failed to show their little mo Mans
Land" and hence the oversight. The
Republican claim is that the disfran-
chisement of it's fifteen votes vitiates
the whole re~districting bin.
The discovery of the oversight is
not a recent one by Ill Republican
friends. They knew it when they
began their so far unsuccessful fight
against the Freeholders' bill, but
didn't say anything about it, the sly
fellows, because they feared that the
Legislature might be called together
in special session to correct the error;
and they only give it out now because
they know that the Republican Sen
ate, which is about to assemble in
Trenton, will not help the Democrats
out Of their dilemma
1t is not likely that the courts will
reorganize the State government to
get these few suffering voters in out
of the cold. Some less revolutionary
method of relieving their anxious
spirits will probably be devised.

Geraniums In the House.

Geraniums kept by the housekeeper
for window culture are liable to be-
come stalkv and unsightly if left to
themselves because of the excessive
growth of stem. The plants are set
in the ground in summer, where they
grow vigorously until frost. Repot-
ting suddenly checks the growth, the
leaves drop Off, and often none are
left except a small tuft at the top.
The appearance, SO far from being
attractive, becomes really hideous.
1t does not occur to the cultivator to
train the plant as the orchadist does
his trees-by pruning, In fact, most
amateur gardeners use the knife but
little, because they feel that cutting
is a dangerous thing, and il is far bet
ter TO abide by the unsightliness of a
plant than 10 risk its life by pruning.
