POVERTY AND PANTS.
Why Q Philadelphia Woman Doomed Male
Attire.

When the name of John Thomas was called
at the central station, Philadelphia, yesterday
morning rather effeminate looking individual,
with closely cropped gray hair and dressed in a
suit of black, stood up. The voice ths. an
swered. Here, sir, was weak and womanish,
and the magistrate, being unable to hear plainly,
told the prisoner to come close to the desk.
The walk from the dock to the witness stand
was in keeping with the general appearance Of
the prisoner. and no surprise was expressed by
the spectators when the effeminate looking in
dividual asked that the name on the docket be
changed from John to Mary Thomas
Policeman Lilly had arrested her at 9Th and
Market streets for appearing on the streets in
male attire. After giving the name of Mary
Thomas the prisoner stated that she was mar
ried. and that poverty had driven her to dis
card dresses for mans apparel. She has for
several mornings picked up few pennies by
selling newspapers on the streets and had at
tracted much remark by her womanish manner
and walk. She is a woman Of considerable re-
tinement, and told her story in quiet but
positive manner that convinced the magistrate
of its truth. She refused to disclose her resi-

The Strike Renewed.

The Lake Erie and Western strike has been
renewed. On the Lafayette division traffic was
again at a standstill yesterday, no trains having
been moved. A few trains were tied up on the
Peru division, but the majority OF the freight
trains were running. The Sandusky division
was unaffected. The men stopped work yes-
terday because the new schedule was not salts
factory to them. General Manager Bradbury
expressed himself as being much surprised
when the men on the Peru division went out
again yesterday morning. He says the men
have submitted some new demands to him that
were not mentioned in the basis of settlement
Just fixed upon. He is also inclined to the
opinion that the strike il largely one of sympa-
thy for the Lafayette division strikers.

Lightning Strikes Camp OF Grand Army
Men and Sons Of Veterans.
During severe rain storm at Grand Island,
Neb., yesterday. where the state Grand Army
and Sons of Veterans reunion is being held, a
lightning bolt struck the camp. Two ieuten-
ants and four sergeants of cavalry troop K
were seated in the first sergeant's tent. The
lightning struck the tent, scattering the splin-
tiers in all directions. Nine men were struck.
When the alarm was given the two lieutenants
and four sergeants were found lying fiat in the
tent with their heads buried in the debris. The
guards were found lying on the ground. The
doctors believe that all will recover.
The tent was wrecked, and it is believed that
had it not been for the metal on the pole many
people in the surrounding tents would have
been killed. On the arms and legs Of the in.
jured there appear great knots, produced by
the electric fluid. The injured men are suffer
ing intense pain, but their comrades are doing
all in their power to relieve their sufferings.

A Witness Whose Lips Were Sealed,

N. S. Lonegan, who was the solicitor for the
new syndicate formed to complete the Bale des
Chaleurs railway and is one of the foremost d.
rectors, was examined by the senate committee
on railways at Ottawa yesterday touching the
alleged scandal III connection with that road.
Asked to say if he had paid any money to any
member OF the house of commons for his sup
port of this bill be at first evaded the question
and then stood silent, during which it was
moved that he be discharged. and the witness
retired quickly without answering q question.
1t is commonly reported that an answer to that
question would have led to the expulsion OF a
member OF the house OF commons.

appliances. Capt. John s. Shepherd, secretary
OF the association and a probable member OF
tne New York team, is just as well satisfied with
the situation as is Gen. Robbins There are
times when Maj. Pollard seems to be little
bit discouraged at having to wrestlo with such
big odds, but he has made up his mind to put
up the fight OF his life on Saturday. He will
lead one Of the most determined teams that
ever participated in forlorn hope. Every
man has resolved to do his utmost, no matter
how great the handicap.
Up to this time the Washington boys have
had 10 reason for complaining of Creedmoor
weather. but while yesterday and today have
been warm and sunshiny the meteorological
conditions have not been favorable to large
scores. Mirage has kept the targets dancing
in most elusive manner, and what seemed to
be certain bull s-eye frequently turns out to be
a three or a two. This afternoon there is
promise of cloudiness and possibly rain, and
while moisture at Creedmoor is excessively
moist ''the southerners" generally get there
with more celebrity than when there is much
dry warmth. The progress which is being
made by some Of the competitors may be fol-
lowed.

The Case of Young D.shielI.

W. s. Dashiell, the young real estate agent OF
Richmond, charged with the forgery of five
notes ranging from s15O to $500, was given
a preliminary hearing yesterday. Owing
to the able array of counsel for the defendant,
including John s. Wise Of New York, and the
prominence of the accused, being son of an
Episcopal clergyman, great interest was mani
Tested in the case. After o bitter fight pro
and con the accused was sent to tho grand
jury in four cases. the other being dismissed on
ground Of inconsequential evidence. His bail
bond was reduced from $40 900 to $4,000. The
accused's many friends are confident that the
case will be dismissed.

BLAMING THE GOVERNMENT.
The Dissatisfaction With the Census Finds
Vent in the Canadian Parliament.

Vent in the Canadian Parliament.
In the Canadian house of commons yesterday
afternoon Sir Richard Cartwright moved a
resolution condcmning the government based
upon the unsatisfactory nature of the census
returns. The resolution set forth that the total
population of the dominion on April was
1925, 344; that the emigration was s66,l71; that
the total increase was 504 534; that natural in
crease of "a per cent per annum should have
brought the population to 6.404, 944; that
400, square miles of territory had been made
available for settlement in the northwest dur
ing the last ten years; that the difference be-
tween the actual and natural increase is
1,568, 600: that during the past ten years taxa
ton has been enormously increased under the
existing tariff, and that the deplorable state of
affairs disclosed commands a radical change in
the policy and methods OF government followed
by the administration.
Sir Richard arraigned the government at
great length, declaring that they were respon-
slbie for this state Of affairs.
Geo. e. Foster, minister OF finance, followed
Sir Richard in reply.

THE CARS IRRITATION.

The car 10 said to be much irritated by the
appearance of another natural son Of his late
father, following him even to his rest at Copen-
hagen. The car has never taken kindly to his
natural brothers and sisters, whose existence
he makes no concealment of regarding as a
stigma on the imperial house Of Russia, being
himself a man of strict morality in his family
relations. The latest applicant for recognition,
therefore, although no doubt genuine, 10 not
likely TO get much for his pains.
