old, formerly a minister at Essex, n.
Y, was sentenced to six months on the
island by Justice Noorhis I'm jefferson
Market Police Court this morning for
begging and obtaining money under
false pretenses. He was very shabby
dressed, and presented a pitiable figure.
Agent Jerome, of the Gerry Society. who
was the complainant in court, said john
son had been convicted on the same
charge before, and had finished serving
a sentence of two years only four
months ago.
Johnson was arrested last night on the
complaint of Banker Charles Lanier, of
30 East Thirty-seventh street, at whose
house he called last night and presented
a begging letter. Lanier sent for a po-
liceman and Johnson WAS arrested.
Fully thirty letters, addressed to the
most prominent people of the city, to-
gether with three pawn tickets, were
found on him. The letters were all
worded alike. Among those whom he
evidently intended to ask for S. were
Charles Scribner. Clinton b. Fisk, Col.
Frederick Grant, Robert Lenox Belknap,
August Belmont and William b. Horn

mon Pleas, has reserved decision in the

Twenty seventh street, she saw into the

DORA WAS HOMESICK.
Pretty Miss Kaplan's Motive for
Robbing Her Brother-iu-Law.
Wanted to Bring Her Old Father
Here from Russia.
When the Theft Was Discovered She
Tried To Kill Herself.

Dora khplan, the sixteen-year-ol girl,
who tried to poison herself yesterday
when she was detected in the theft of
money from her brother-in-law, Is lying
IN Gouverneur's Hospital. and is reported
to-day TO be still in a critical condition.
The physicians cannot determine how
much carbolic acid she swallowed Her
lips and mouth are burned black, and
she Is speechless The chances for life
or death are about even.
In casting about for a motive for the
girls theft, which could ordinarily be
regarded only as a perfidious trick upon
benefactors, 1t Is believed that Dora pre-
sents highly developed case of home
sickness. which is recognized in medi-
cine as an actual disease under the
name of nostalgia. 1t is form of
melancholia the results are often fatal
and the sufferer Is always irresponsible.
Dora came here seven months ago

brother and sister preceded her nearly
The sister, Mrs. J. Engelman, whose
husband conducts a tailoring and rem

employment In a shirt factory at He's

her own earnings and the help her sis
ter gave her she lived in greater com
fort than in her native home In Rus

The girl, however, early developed a
strange aversion TO her new home-n

missed $50, which he had in the house.
He suspected no one Of stealing it, but
merely thought it lost. The money was
never found.
Yesterday he left sss with his wife to

under a pillow. At noon she could not

late and her sister reluctantly suspected

shop and he brought Dora home.

Dora said nothing and went back &c

CHEAP TELEPHONES IN SIGHT
An Improvement ON the He'll Sys-
tenn That VIII Minimize Cost.


There Is every prospect that the public
will soon reap the benefit Of the expira-
ton Of the Bell patents. which have
enabled the big electrical combination
to force exorbitant prices from those
to whom the telephone Is a necessity.
The original discovery OF Bell was not,
as might be supposed, an electric trans
mitter OF sounds. 1t was magnetico-
telephone. But Bell did not succeed in
bringing II to state of perfection and
so he applied the electrical power to the
principle. Bell never perfected his
neutrality-suspicious. and now. after his
patents have run out, comes Il new COM
pany with Dwight w. Curtiss. the Prod
uce Exchange flour merchant, as its
President and a claim that another in
Ventor has perfected the old scheme,
and that within a few months 1t will be
able to furnish telephone service at 81
a month and make a reasonable profit.
The Bell monopoly has charged all the
way from $50 to s24C a year rental for
Its instruments never selling one, and
charging immensely for territorial rights
TO local companies. But the new COM
pany will rent instruments at 81 a
month each. or will sell them outright
to local companies, who will be charged
very moderate prices for territorial
rights. The new Company has Offices
In the Produce Exchange annex.
This new telephone is exceedingly SIM
pie. 1t is called the Phoenix" 1t
has no batteries nor electrical appli-
ances. and, therefore, no carbon trans
mitter 1t Is magneto-teephone in its
simplest form.

1862 to 1870, but it was enacted in the
same spirit as that which sent fathers

an income tax is an admission of th'
terribly disturbing and disorganizine

WHY MAKE COAL FREE 2

the Philadelphia Record makes a
sorry attempt to justify the freeing OF
bituminous coal under the proposed
new tariff by asserting, in the first
place, that Nova Scotian coal beds are
insufficient to psrmit Of hurtful com.
petition; and secondly, that even if
they were larger and better in quality,
miners will not dig coal for less
wages in Nova Scotia than will those
in Pennsylvania. The Record fills
nearly column in the elaboration OF
these weak contentious, but stripped
to the real fact, these are the only
arguments it itadvsnces.
A good way to test false premise is
to admit it, for arguments sake, and
follow 1t out to its inevitably riiicul-
Gus conclusion. Thus, let us concede
all that the Record claims with regard
to Nova Sootian fuel beds and wages
let us admit. for the moment, that the
various American mi ming interests
that have made such q determined op-
position to free coal are self deceived F.;
that they are frightened over nothing
that they do not know the real condi-
tions Of the coal trade so we'll as does
