A Vionna correspondent writes to Lon-
don paper: "a man was arrested last week
in the act of stealing pocket handkerchief
from lady. He was formerly a weli-to-
do baker IN a suburb, when the mania
seized him of collecting ladies' cambria
handkerchiefs. He would accost lady
in the street and ask her 10 sell him her
handkerchief. If she refused he would get
into temper, and bid more and more for it
until he got it. Many women in the
neighborhoed traded upon his madness
and the man spent all his money in
this way. After becoming bankrupt,
about five years ago, he began
to steal handkerchiefs, and he was i'm
prisoned for three weeks about four years
ago. As he has never been caught since,
the police believed that his Imprisonment
had cured him, but when taken he was
found to have fifteen cambria b Andkerchieis
upon him, which Ee confe sed to have
stolen in one hour. He has never stolel
any other article, and every week he was
in the habit of destroying by fro the com
mon handkerchief which he had stolen by
mistake, as his strange mauia Is limited to
cambria, especially if scented. In his bed
room 434 cambria pocket handkorchiefs
were found, and it f. believed that he has
concealed many more in hiding places
which he refuses to reveal. He was sent to
a madhouse."

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.
The Expo riment About to Be Made in
Central New York.
From the Utica Press

From. the Utica Press.
The first experiment in cooperative
housekeepi G in Utica was inaugurated to-
day. The honor belongs to the Eleventh
ward Four or five families whose homes
are on Helry street and in that immediate
vicinity are tee prime movers in the enter
prise. They have beea discus ing the sub
iect for some time and have reached the
conclusion that the cooperative plan of
living can be placed IL operation as sue
cessfully here as elsewhere. They have
found that in many cities throug bout the
country there are to-day communities of
people banded together for the purpose of
escaping some of the vexations which are
incident to private housekeeping. Chief
among the trials and fluctuations of
the housewife Is the provision of the victl-
alling department aud the m9lntanaace of a
suitable table. Unless fortunate in the pos
session of capable servants, it is impossi-
BILE to accomplish what is desired, and even
where every facility is afforded, q certain
amount of worry and bother cannot be
avoided. A great many people, unless they
have children, for this reason make their
homes in hotels and boarding hOu es. But
there are objections to boarding houses.
You cannot always. choose your company,
and the conduct of the Establishment may
not suit your taste. The cooperative plan
of living allows a private residence and
provides for table managed "a 5ue board
ers may direct. A circle or club IS formed,
and only those congenlal 20 the charter
members may be admitted.
The Hedry Street Club will have o. the
start about twenty-five members. They
have leased q conveniently located house Oh
Henry street, and have engaged Mrs. Jones,
late of the Wayerley, III the capacity of
housekeeper. she is TO receive a stated
salary per year. AID is to occupy the house
witt such servants as may be required TO
prepare and serve meals. She VIII make
purchases of provisions, and the bills will
be audited aad paid by q committee ap-
pointed to act for the club i'll all such
affairs. Once week, or as often as may be
desired, an assessment will be ordered to de-
fray the expenses, each person paying pro
rata. II a memter brings visitors, he
must pay an additional amount. The
families living in this way wilt thus be re-
lieyed of the most cumbersome part of
housekeeping. They can devote their time
more to the enjoyment of their homes ana
the performance Of social and othec duties.
AT the same time it is expected that the
expense of living in this way will not be
greater than under the present CO wen
tioDal mode of individual housekeeping.
The chances are, all things considered, that
It will be, if anything, less. Those who
commence next Monday to demonstrate
that the plan is all that is claimed fer it are
ladies and gentlemen who will form pleas
ant society, and are adapted to dwell to-
gether in armoay. Toey do not undertake
to say that this idea is one suited for all
classes and conditions, but tor tn Sc situated
as they are, they think that it is entirely
practical and will work like a charm.

A CAR SERVICE ASSOCIATION.
The Railroads Entering This State Meet
to Secure Prompt Delivery of Freight.

The Railroads Entering This State Meet
to Secure Prompt Delivery of Freight.
A meeting Of the general officers of the
West Shore, Delaware, Laekawanna and
Western, New York, Lake Erie and West
ern, Pennsylvania, New York, Susque-
hanna and Western. Central Railroad Of
New Jersey, Lehigh Valley. New York
and Long Branch and Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Companies was held
here yesterday to consider as to the best
freight cars at the various stations on The
lines OF these roads in the State OF New
Jersey.
1t has been found that the lack Of a
limit as to the time freight cars can be
held for unloading and loading has re-
suited in serious Inconvenience and detri-
ment to the business of consignees who
are prompt in handling their freight, as
the accumulation of cars in delivery
yards has prevented the placing Of cars
for those who are prompt in removing
their freight.
In order to overcome this delay it was
resolved to take steps looking to the
organization of Car Service Association
to cover the State OF New Jersey. similar
in its character TO such associations as
have been organized elsewhere through
out the country A charge fer demurrage
for detention over forty eight hours after
cars have been placed in delivery yards
shall be made. The organization expects
to commence operations on the nrst OF
January next. The association viii be In
charge of a manager independent Of
either OF the railroad companies.
The effect of such organizations pre-
vents discrimination in favor Of one con-
signee as against another, and enables
consignees to rely upon the prompt de-
livery OF freight as forwarded to them
under their own directions. It also re-
moves causes of friction between the sew
eral railroad companies that are fre-
ouently raised in the transaction of com
petitive business.
The result of the workings of these
associations elsewhere has proved of great
advantage TO both the consignees and the
railroad companies. and will undoubtedly
be advantageous to all communities, par
ticularly to those where the freighting is
large and increasing.

FORGOT TIE SIGNAL


The Head Gateman at the p. r. r.
Caused a Train to Go Out without
Passengers.
The passengers who intended to leave
on the 7.45 Pennsylvania local train on
Tuesday night were very much incon-
venienced and delayed by the neglect of
duty of the head gateman, Gardiner. 1t
is his duty to give the signal to the
guards to open the waiting room doors,
aud they have received strict orders not
to do so until they get that signal. When
he should have given it he was sitting in
the train with two friends. There were
about 130 people In the waiting room,
waiting for the doors TO open, so they
could board the train. They had the
pleasure OF seeing their train go off with
out Them
Conductor Hogan had received his
notice that the boats were in. and not
seeing any more passengers come out, he
started his train at the regular time, with
only six passengers on boord. The gate
men at the doors did not dare to open
them, as they had not received Gardiner 5
signal. The passengers were compelled
to wait until five minutes past eight. and
were then sent out on Train No. 8, which
is not local train, but was made one
through necessity.

.HODOKEN'S CITY CLERK.
A Resolution that Seems to
Unjustly Reflect on His
Official Integrity.

At the meeting Of the Hoboken Council
last night a resolution was passed which
seriously reflects on the management Of
the City Clerks Office, and which was the
outcome Of the indignation Of disaD-
pointed contractor.
At the last meeting Of the Board sew
eral contractors bid for the Improvement
OF a great many Of the city's streets
Among those contractors were
Haggerty. Haggerty has been
receiving most Of the contracts of late
When the bids were read at that meeting
by the City Clerk 1t was noticed that
HaKgerty had bid for every job and that
each of his bids was just below
everybody else. Albert Minardow, who
state Of affairs could not exist II there
had not been some crooked work done.
Mr.. Minardow, 1t was said, was slight
ly under the influence OF liquor, and
during recess he went within the railing
and openly accused the City Clerk with
having opened the bids in that Office in
the interest OF Mr.. Haggert. Sergeant
alarms Aldoretta was compelled 70
silence Minardow several times.
Last night when the Board met there
was large lobby present. and ii was ex-
pected that there would be a lively time.
Resolutions were offered awarding
the contract for the improvement of all
the streets TO Daniel Haggerty. he being
the lowest bidder. The total cost OF the
improvements is figured at about $4,000.
Then Councilman Kelly offered reso-
luton which provides that in future all
bids for all work should be handed
to the chairman at the meeting
of the Board ana be opened
by him and then read off by the Clerk.
Heretofore the bids were handed in at the
City Clerks Office on the day that the
Board met.
The resolution created a surprised
City Clerk McDermott blushed deeI
red at the insinuation contained in tie
resolution.
Chairman Stanton said he thought that
the resolution was unjust and was
framed simply because of the utter

tractor.
He thought it was a reflection on the
integrity or the City Clerk. ana for thai
reason it should not prevail The resolu.

transacted some routine business and ad

City Clerk McDermott, when seen a

time that anybody had complained Of tbs
management of his office. He denied
emphatically that any bids had been tam
