TREASURER TOUCHED"
A Big Bundle of Tickets For the A. A.
u. Championship Meeting stolen.

u championship Meeting stolen.
1t does seem as if the Metropolitan Asso-
citation of the Amateur Athletic Union was
in a streak of bad luck in SO far as its cham
p~ionships are concerned. The financial re-
suit obtained from the last boxing and wrest-
ling meeting held in Newark was a surprise
to everyone, in fact so much of a surprise
that an investigation was ordered, but it has
been FINALLY dropped as those in Newark
who could give the desired information nave
no desire to help the committee now at work.
This year President Curtis appointed a COM
mittee, thoroughly honest and reliable and
and representatives of good clubs, but the
same misfortune seems to attach
to the championships, for a large
bundle of reserved seats tickets
have been lost and are now no doubt in the
hands of some speculative genius. On Sat
urday last John Steil, the treasurer of the
committee, left his office in Brooklyn with a
package of tickets for the New York A.. C.
and the University A. c. He crossed on the
T~wenty-third Street Ferry from Brooklyn
on the seven o'clock boat. He left the pack
age of tickets on the settee beside him and
cafelessly left the boat without them. He re
turned at once, made a thorough investiga-
ton. but the deck hands knew nothing what
ever about it, and the package had disap-
peared as if by magic. Of course this will
cause some trouble, but the committee hin
they are able to cope with the situation.
Special tickets are to be printed and marked.
The numbers of the tickets lost or stolen as
the case may be are in the hands of the com
mittee, and such tickets will not be accepted
at the door. The substituted tickets will be
of a different color and bear the signature of
the chairman of the committee, and the
committee request that all who are going to
attend the championships refuse to buy
tickets any place but at the door on the even
ings of the entertainment, as spectators will
not be supplied with them. In so far as
member of the New York A.C. and the
University &C, the tickets, and they Were
the choice of the house, set apart for them
cannot be placed on sale as expected, but if
the members Of these two organizations de
sire reserved seats they can have them kept
for them by Mr.. John Steil, who will deliver
them from the box Office on Thursday and
SATURDAY. night.

SON SUED FATHER,

Frederick Ettling of Second street this
city, sued his father, David Ettling, in the
Hoboken District Court this morning for
money he claimed due in a transaction be-
tween father and son. David had a horse
valued at $3.50. He sold it to his son, who
paid him $50 down, and promising to pay the
remainder in six months. He used the horse
during that time, and ran the animal half to
death. Then he said he had no money to buy
the horse and wanted to return it. The old
man took the played out nag and said he'd
refund the sons $50 when he could sell the
animal. Now Fred. wants $50 that he saws
the father agreed to pay him when he took
the horse back. Judge Paxton reserved his
decision. Counsellor Carey appeared for the
defendant and Counsellor Weller for the
plaintiff.

To secure a supply of sweet peas next win

stroy the roots. The last of August put in

They viii not come up as quickly as those
sown just below the surface, but the plants
will be more thrifty. When they are three
inches high provide them with wire netting
to run upon, and your labors will soon be re-
warded with the pink and white blossoms.

the people are being educated on true

Democracy and cannot be led much
longer by fraudulent leaders.
There were thousands of Democrats
that did not vote in the last November

the Bourbon Democratic and Shylock
Republican twins out Of existence. In
other words the great mass of the people
will take possession of the true Demo-

The total debt July 3l,ls92, was 1907,

At the prices current in 1866 it would
have taken 1000, 600, 900 bushels of wheat
to pay the entire public debt of the
United States. Alter all the 81, 600, 900,
600 that has been paid at the current Chi
cago price of wheat, It would take l, Ill,
$50, 600 bushels to pay the net public debt

farmer is getting out Of debt.
While you have to raise four times as
much grain now to pay dollar on your
taxes or debts, the money power piles up
the dollar four times as fast.

states of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska

And yet these nine states are more than
fifty-eight times as large as Massachusetts,
and have seven times as many people and
twice the assessed value.
If we add Florida, Kentucky and Kan

Pennsylvania gained more than the
