"ClD LhVENOER."

The revival OF "Old Lavender" at

us that our popular acknowledgements

seen much OF him of late IN the Hence
form
of entertainment 1t was in melodrama
that some Of his best successes were
achieved.
In "Oid Lavender" Harrigan gives us
a consistent. well-drawn, deftly shaded
character sketch, lone in colors Of as
fine n quality as could possibly be de-
sired. If George Coggswell, otherwise

quently. At least | do. They buttonhole
any one who has the reputation of being
a good listener and make his life a
misery. Harrlgan's Old Lavender Is
wonderfully true. Whenever he becomes
a nuisance the truth becomes more con-
splcuous. It Is ar unpleasant part. al
though HarriEan probably thinks that
he has the sympathy of the audience
because he gives his unkind brother
$3.50, 900 at a moments notice, and rescues

Pecksnifian talk. his sudden plunge into
the %disreputable and his general grimi-
ness do not inspire sympathy.

STOLE OUT OF SHEER NEED.
Margaret Boyle Tells a Pathetic
Story When Arrested.

Margaret Boyle. of 339 West Forty
fourth street. was a prisoner in the JEFF
ferson Market Court this morning.
Bella Goldman. an employee of Enrich
Brothers. was preparing to leave the
store at 1O.30 o'clock last night. There
were a few customers scattered through
the place. and as Miss Goldman turned
her back she felt a tug at u satchel
hanging at her side.
She saw a woman walking hurriedly to
the elevator, and looking down. saw that
her pocketbook, containing So and odd
cents. was missing. She followed the
woman and saw her take the money out
of the pocketbook.
Miss Goldman called the store detec-
tives, and they, In turn, sent for Detec-
tives Koch and Mcdonald. who arrested
the woman.
As the city OF New York has no police
patrol wagon service, the Onicer was
obliged to lead his prisoner through
the streets to the station.
She gave the name of Annie Boyle, of
239 West Forty-fourth street. but after
wards admitted she was Margaret Boyle,
of 339 West Forty-fourth street.
She told a sad story of want. She said
her husband, an iron-moulder, had been
out of work for some time. Her three
children, II an infant, We're starving,
and she had taken the poclletbook out OF
sheer need.
Thu police are not inclined to believe
her story. Her work was too neatly
done. She was held for trial.

Rescue Homes for Girls.

To the Editor:
| believe that Mr.. Parkhurst is doing some good
in thts city by compelling the police to do their
duty. and the only drawback to his way is that
he ev!cts these poor girla from their homes and
does not provide places for them TO go to.
A large number OF the girls turned Into the
streets by the police don't live the way they do
from choice. but are turned out Of the house by
a drunken father or mother because they could
not obtain work, and so rather than starye they
live p life Of immortality.
| think a good plan would be to set IN a Sal
walton Army Rescue Home. and as soon as these
poor girls are turned ndrift they could. II th.y
wished. go to this Rescue Home and try to lead
better lives.
Mr., rarhhurst should, in my Judgment, make
