SISTER ACCUSES BROTHER.
Henry Schwartz Held on a Charge
of Grand Larceny.

Henry Schwartz, twenty-five years old,
of 1913 Sheriff street, was arraigned In the
Essex Market Police Court to-day, to
answer a charge OF grand larceny.
His married sister, Fannie Horowitz,
the same address, was the complainant.
Her husband Keeps a restaurant in the
basement Of the house and Schwartz.
who Is out of work, was constantly about.
on Monday last Schwartz went into
the kitchen, under the p%retext, his sister
alleges. of getting a drink of water.
Mrs. Horowitz says that she found her
brother kneeling In front of a trunk
where she kept her jewelry.
" What are you doing there 2 she
asked.
I'm looking for a needle" came the
You fool retorted the sister, you
know that l do not keep needles in my
trunk"
Schwartz went way and then, the sis
ter says, on making an inyestiga-
tion. she discovered that her diamond
earrings, valued at SIP, and her diamond
ring. valued at $40. were missing.
Detectives Farrell and Bremen, of the
Tnion Market station, arrested Schwart;
last night. He denied the charge Of
stealing, but admitted that his sister
found him kneeling in front OF The. trunk
Justice Voorhis held him for further
examination.

lInhuman Tyranny.
To tho Editol

To tho Editor:
Your recent brief but pointed editorial
headed Moving On ought to make Dr. Park
hurst and ali the comfortable respectable" peo-
pie OF this city ashamed. The truth is this turn
ing OF women into the street who have paid for
accommodation. and bounding them from place to
place. simply because their actions do not con-
form to the standard which self appointed re
formers have set up. is a piece OF inhuman
tyranny which no doubt our grandchildren will
wonder at. The nrst thing to have done was to
provide shelter. and II should have been offered
to every woman. regardless OF her future inten-
lions. 1t would have been easy, at any rate, to
see that no violation OF the orthodox moral code
took place while the women were In such a shell
ter. This Wholesale eviction Of helpless women Is
on a par with the clubbing OF a score or two Of
poor men at a cheap lodging house the other day
because they objected to vaccination. The motto
OF the sanitary and reform bigot should be
% you. you shall he healthy and %virtuous. OF
be dubbed and homeless!' CHARITY.

THE GOVERNORS REMARKS RECALLED.

kennebunkport, Me-. has an ex-skip-
per 100 years old who liz a
wonder. He can outwrestle his son OF
seventy-one at side holds. with the Mel
son-lock barred. and he is so hale and
vigorous that he works out his county
tax personally on he public road. He
has never used tobacco. and only once
In his life has he drunk at a bar. and
then he had to do 1t for the ague.
The old man has missed a lot OF fun
In his time II he has never known the
pleasure OF borrowing hard tobacco or
making his friends ''set 'em up" In the
village tavern. But hat Is not the point.
The impression that seems to have been
aimed at by those who place this CEN
tenarian on exhibition IL that he arrived
at his ripe old age without the aid OF
applejack or good old Grave,y plug.
1t Is not probable that this news from
~Kennebunkport will close up any saloons
or reduce the general thirst of the coun-
try. The man who loves his snifter
wouldn't. as n rule. care to live 100 years
on one drink. If he had to have the
ague every time he wanted to wet his
whistle at a bar he would be shaking
for drinks most OF his time. But loo
years on a single drink is an awful long
time between. and there are not many
men who could wait on the calendar that
long.

Cutting the Wedding C,ko

Az n recent fashionable wedding the
ceremony of cutting the brides loaf was
PERFORM I'd the night before, and was
madc the occasion of a festivity, partici-
patel IN by the immediate wedding
party only, bridesmaids, ushers and the
like.
This Is a revival OF an old-time Gus.
tom, which may be destined to run its
course again In these days of a craze
for resurrections.
The origin of the wedding loaf ia to
be found in an old English rite Of
%sprinkling wheat over the head of the
bride, as typical of the abundance and
prosperity which were hoped for.
The first bride cakes were made Of
wheat, like bread. but gradually evolved
into the elaborate and toothsome we'd
ding cake of to-day.
When first used as a loaf this was
broken over the head of the bride. and
the pieces shared only by the near rela-
tive and attendants of the newly mar
lied pair.

To Make Chocolate.

Never crate or shake off chocolate
from the cake. Break off the amount
you need, and put it in either an
e~arthen-lined or an agate kettle. pour
boiling water on 1t. just enoug to dis
solve 1t, then pour in the milk. which
should be warm. not hot. stirring all the
while as you are pouring 1t in. Stand
the kettle where 1t will boil quickly. be-
ing careful not to let 1t burn, and when
1t has boiled three minute the chocolate
IL done. Pour 1t into the chocolate-pot
and serve. Do not sweeten 1t; let the
guests sweeten their own chocolate as
they prefer. Three ounces of chocolate
is a good measure for a cup. 1t does not
hurt chocolate to stand after boiling for
at least a half hour where it will keep
hot. only do not let 1t boil.

Mr.. Van Allen did not resign In vain.
In his stead we have an ambassador
elect whose career Is such as to point
a moral and adorn a tale In politics.
From Repu%blicanism, such as entitled
him to a Cabinet place under a pro-
nounced Republican Administration, he
passed., by the force of changing con-
victions In his own mind and In the
public mind, into earnest sympathy with
Democracy and became an active worker
for the success of the party he had
formerly opposed. A man less sensitive
to the call of political and patriotic
duty, or less brave in the strength OF
his own convictions. would have beer
unable to take this step and make his
act effective as Mr.. MacVeagh did. Per
haps in no other country in the world
would such a complete, yet consistent
change OF political front have beer
possible to a man of still continued emf
nerce. Mr.. MacVeagh's career indicates
the broad possibilities of the highes
American politics. The new Ambassa
dor will be a credit to his own countr!
and his presence at Rome will be al
honor to Italy.

dress. When the clothes were delivered
1t was found that they didn't fit, and the
doctor sent them back to be altered.
De Waldorf declares that when. the suit
was delivered the second time they were
in a worse condition than before, and he
refused to receive them. He allowed
the tailor to retain the deposit:
Two weeks ago while Or. De Waltor1

The doctor got out & warrant fol
Dcitcher for assaulting him and he was

Sending packages by express is proba-
bly, the favorite manner of sending
packages OF value to n great distance,
as the express companies are responsible
Tor the value Of express parcels I'D to
a certain amount, in case of loss or de-
struction. and as a consequence the
greatest care Is taken in transporta-
ton. The larger companies have special
trunks In which packages are carried
from one place to another, thus insuriny
extra protection. There are no ~restric-
lions In regard to the articles which
may be sent by express: anything from
a horse to an egg will be received and
forwarded. One exception alone has
been made recently. and that is that
children will no longer be received for
transportation. The charges on pack
ages are made either by weight or by
bulk, the latter being the more usual
way OF regulating the tariff. These rates
are reasonable in all cases, and are made
uniformly on a basis of packages valued
at $50 and under. Packages to foreign
countries are sent by first-class passen-
ger steamers The minimum charge on
a foreign package is 81.
