THAT LEVY CASE.
Where the Talk of His Being a
Fence" Comes From.

Where the Talk of His Being a
Fence" Comes From.
A good deal has been said, in one way
and another of late, concerning Mark
levy, the pawnbroker and secondhand
dealer. First Levy was arrested for
buying stolen goods. He was discharged
on that complaint. At that time it was
said that Levy was arrested by certain
detectives because he preferred to give
pointers" to other detectives rather
than to them. Then Lucas hardware
store was burglarized. One Richard
Monroe was arrested for the crime. He
confessed it and said, further, that he
had no accomplices. When found guilty
in the district court Monroe reeled off a
cock and bull story about being led into
crime by Mark Levy. He said Levy put
him up to it. No one attached much
credence to Monroe's story. Levy,
however, feels hurt, and talks of bring
ing several suits for damages, on the
ground of libel, malicious prosecution.
etc. Those VINO are best acquainted
with the case DO not believe that Levy
is any sort of a "fence." All second
hand dealers buy goods, some of which
may be stolen. But that can not make
''fences" of them. In this Monroe case
it is certain that Levy was of service to
the police. Monroe sold Levy a re-
volver, and said he had a lot more of
goods to sell. Levy agreed to buy
them. They were to meet at a certain
place. Monroe was there with the stuff
he took from Lucas store. and was ar
rested. Levy had supplied the officers
with the information. That is all there
is to the stories of his crookedness.

Reckless Use of the English Lam
guage BY a Foreigner Causes
Trouble.
Chicago Herald.
The unhappiest man in all Chicago
yesterday was young German count,
who has been at the Richelieu for few
weeks. He made several trips from the
Office to the cafe, and wandered aim
lessly about the hotel, exclaiming now
and then:
"Effery time l opens my Scherman
mouth l says Something's"
The count speaks English recklessly,
and he suffered Saturday for mistake
made the evening before which was
quite amusing to all but him. He was
one of jolly theater party that visited
the restaurant after the performance.
A very merry time was passed, and be-
fore the supper was over a MONDAY
luncheon was planned for Monday.
OF course the count was one of the
first to be invited, and that honor was
intrusted to Mrs. Woodrow, of the Hotel
Woodruff. The young man was de-
lighted to accept the kindness, and an
swered with adjectives profusely.
Presently he said to Mrs. Woodrow:
"You VIII pardon me off | got some in
formation"
'With pleasure, count"
"Das luncheon de kom at noon?"
"At l o'clock"
81 doan lofe to ask, but as Pm mac
cistomed to American ways want to
learn someding."
Il will be only too gI ad to inform
you"
"Es ist about mine appearance at the
noon luncheon"
al will tell YOU"
Pardon, but will l wear my night
dress?''
All eyes were turned toward Mrs.
Woodrow, and her handsome face was
trifle cOlored. 1t was quieter around
the table than Sunday in Pbiladel-
phia, only to be broken bya repetition
of the same question by the count, who
was entirely unconscious what a little
word had done.
Mrs. Woodrow was equal to the ocea-
sion, and when the count asked for the
second time. Pardon. but will year my
night dress?" she replied. mo, you
might get the grippe" and then hur-
riedly asked the count what he thought
of the Thomas concert.
When the party had broken up and
the gentlemen explained to the for
eigner the difference between might
dress" and ''evening dress" he was on
the verge of being driven to drink.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
The Board of Corrections and
Charities Prepares for Work.

The Board of Corrections and
Charities Prepares for Work.
Shortly after O'Clock yesterday aft
ernoon the new board of corrections
and charities assembled in the mayors
Office for the purpose of organization,
all members being present. The or
ganic act creating the board and defin-
ing its duties was first read, after which
the election of officers was taken up.
The name of Q. c. Merriman was pro-
posed for the presidency, and he was
elected unanimously. Capt. G. L. Sny-
der, superintendent of the poor, was
then called in TO confer with the board
upon matters requiring Immediate at
tention. Although Capt. Snyder has
not been formally elected secretary of
the board, the duties of the Office nat
urallv devOlve upon him. The salary
allotted by the legislative act for this DO
sition is $500, but Mayor Winston ey-
planned that il originally read $1,000,
and that the discrepancy was due 10
mistake on the part of the engrossing
clerk. As the board is authorized to fix
the salary, this error can be recdfed.
Capt. Snyder was authorized to visit
the workhOuse. poor farm and city hos
pital, and arrange for the keeping OF
the accounts of those institutions.
The board has already received appli-
cations for the superintendency of the
workhouse. Among the candidates are
Matt Gross, an eX-superintendent. and
John Norton. the fuel dealer. How.
ever. as the law expressly states that
no removals shall be made except for
cause, there will probably be no change
for some time to come.
