Not Exactly a Daisy.

Captain Kelly may be right in his
assumption that the new station
house of the Second precinct is a
daisy. Our botanical. agricultural
and Horticultural knowledge is not
particularly extensive, but we have
always been led to believe that the
daisy was a modest sort OF flower,
affecting out-of-the-way places and
loath to obtrude itself upon pub
lie notice. Now a daisy four
stories high, of Philadelphia
and Amboy brick and terra Gotta,
can't be that sort of a daisy, wherefore
it is not a daisy at all. 1t may be "a
crysanthemum or a sunflower, but not
a modest daisy. We are willing to
believe with Captain Kelly, however,
that the new station is a handsome
building. We will even admit that it
is a dandy" and we heartily con-
graduate him that he will soon take
possession OF one of the handsomest
buildings of the kind in the State.
The other fellows, who will take
possession of it later, temporarily,
have our sympathy. Still. they can
keep out Of it by behaving themselves,
and THE News counsels them SO to

ALTENBERG'S LITTLE MISTAKE.

Put HIS Foot In 1t When He Sent for
His S~on-in-LAw.
Ernest Altenberg, aged fifty-seven
years, of No. 1873 Clinton street. Hoboken.
was arrested at four O'Clock yesterday
morning for being drunk aud d~isorderly.
Recorder McDonough fined him S., aud
Altenberg sent a messenger to his SON
in-law, John Wolf, of Wee
hawEen, asking hin to come down
and pay his fine. Wolf called at the
police station later, but instead of paying
Altenberg's fine. made a charge against
him of l~arcenv from the person. Wolf
stated that while drunk Saturday night.

after getting him into the house abstract
ed Il five dollar bill from his pocket and
departed. The old man was then COM
mitted on the mole serious charge.
Altenberg is said to be- a German ex-
convict, who fed from Germany to escape
further imprisonment. He has been ar

Another Infant Industry.

announcer INFANT INDUSTRY.
Convict Hardin, who yesterday got
away from Dannemora Jail at Gin
ton, N. Y, for the second time, should
join Convict Smith, lately Of the
Trenton Prison, on the island in the
Delaware, of which he was reported
in undisputed possession at last &C.
counts. Two of a kind like this would
be hard to beat, and with two con
victs and an island as a nucleus, prop
eriy protected by the Mckinley bill
as an infant American industry, we
might soon have in this country a
system of brigandage which would put
the much Wanted brigands of Italy,
Sicily and Turkey to the blush.
That is, if anything could make those
fellows blush, a matter of which we
are not altogether certain.
1t might be necessary to make the
alien Importation law a little stronger
in order to prevent the firm of Hardin
s. Smith from importing Sicilian or
Italian brigands, so as to give Ameri-
can brigands a fair chance.
Forger Stoddard might be added to
the concern as Secretary, and then If
Howard and ash" Smith could be
induced to add their valuable SER
vices, the enterprise would have a
fair chance of success from the outset.
To be sure the warden of Danne-
mora has offered a reward of $500 for
the recapture of his man, but the
Trentonians do not seem to care
about getting Smith back. Perhaps
they recognize the fact that he can't
be kept in Jail and will make no
further attempt to deprive him of his
liberty, but Hardin, although he has
twice got away from Dannemora,
does not seem to have convinced the
warden that he cannot be held. AT
all events the warden seems to be will
ing to bet $500 to nothing that he can
keep Hardin if he can get someone to
bring him back. But this may be set
down as mere bravado, probably, fo1
il the warden had any real faith in his
powers he would set out to recapture
the fugitive himself, whereby he
would cover himself more or less
thickly with a veneer of glory and
save $500 in cold cash.
But if Hardin ever joins Smith on
his Delaware river island it isn't
likely that the Dannemora man will
ever be able to lay hands on hin
again.

A most appreciative and enthusiastic
audience welcomed Robert Mantell at the
Academy of Music last evening. when he
presented Alexander Dumas's great pl ay

entirely with the supernatural. much of
which is beautiful and ideal in thought,

and speaks in such soft, melodious
tones.
The story is we'll known: how the two

to Fabien aud bids him join him in the

While a great deal of the misery of love
Is shown, none of its brightness appears;
the play never uescends to the
commonplace. The only funny business
in it was betw cen the two Corsicans, Or
lando and Colonna, and the funny part
of this was the failure of the two fighters
to fight. Two American school boys
without any knowledge of the Vendetta
could have looked madder and fought
better over a game Of marbles.

Utility of detecting their mania 1t
is not until they commit some overt
act that the law can lay hands on
them. Until then, ever If their
id~iosyncracies occasionally attract att
tention, they are merely classed as
cranks and set down as harmless.
Norcross was of this sort, and it vas
not until he exploded the bomb in
Russell Sage's office that he was
really amenable to the law-and then
it was unnecessary. His act carried
its punishment with it.
There are doubtless other N~orcrosses
at large and there is but n way to deal
with them. When any man comes in
and demands a million dollars just sit
down and write him a check for the
amount-for even a crazy man would
not expect people to go around with
a million dollars in their clothes. 1t
will be easy enough to send a police
him at the bank before he
gets through the formula of being
identified. 1t is not customary to
make checks for a million dollars pay
able to bearer. At least we never do.
Possibly thoughtless persons may,
but it is a bad habit. When a man
makes a check for a million dollars
he should be particular to write
the payee's name III full in an
clear legible hand, and as an addi-
tional safeguard, he should also send
the payee's photograph to the cashier
in advance of presentation, in case the
gentleman should have any trouble in
getting himself identified to the salts
faction of the bank officials.
