Annie Kamnl,s Arrest.

The arrest of Annie Kampf in New
York on a charge of picking pockets in
Mays big notion store is worse than
suspicious. The influence is all but r.
resistible that this girl is to be rail-
roaded' as an example to all who dare
to make accusations against police OF
ficers. 1t is queer-very queer that the
girl-even if she be a desperate criminal
indeed all the more queer if she is a
professional criminal,-should be plying
her trade within a week after her re-
lease, in such a CONSPICUOUS place. The
coincidence is still more strange h
two Central Office Detectives should be
on hand to catch her.
1t would be a good idea for the Lezow
Committee to enquire into the whole
case, including the identity of the woman
whose pocket it is alleged Annie was

ANNIE EAMPF AGAIN.
Arrested in New York for Pick
Il ing Pockets on Sixth Ave-
nue-It Looks Queer.

Pretty Annie Kampf, who narrowly
escaped going to State Prison on a
charge Of picking pockets at the Ham
burg whar in Hoboken, IS again a
prisoner on a similar charge, but this
time in New York.
h was arrested on Saturday after
noon in a Sixth avenue dry goods store
by Eentral Office Detectives McCauley
and stephen O'Brien. who assert that
they caught her in the act of picking
the pocket of Mrs. Cecilia Clark, of
Pleasant Mount. who was shopping in
the store.
At Police Headquarters Annie said that
she vas a domestic. and thai she lived
at No. 1885 Lexington avenue. She was
remanded for further examination in
the Jefferson Market Police Court yes
terday and locked up.
REGARDED AS STRANGE.
By those who are acquainted with the
history Of the youthful prisoner, it is
regarded as a trife strange hat this
girl should have incurred the risk of a
second arrest on a charge of pocket
picking when she has been at liberty
but one week.
After her conviction in Hoboken, her
lawyer, Warren Dixon, secured a writ
of certiorari, based on the ground that
she had not been tried before a legally
constituted court. This resulted in a
second trial. in which she was acquit-
ted.
Her first arrest occurred on April u,
on the Hamburg line pier, in Hoboken,
and she charged that Detective Nelson,
who made the arrest. had tried to in
duce her to go to q hotel and a prom
ised her her liberty.
On her acquittal Judge Eudspeth or
dered her to be returne to the Hudson
County Jail until her story could be
lifted by the Hudson County Grand Jury.
The Judge was quoted as saying that
oither Annie should be indicted for per-
indicted fer his alleged action.
FORCED TO RELEASE HER.
The Grand Jury a week s declined
to indict either Nelson or the girl, on
the ground of insufficient evidence to
hold either. 1t recommended the dis
charge Of Annie KarlDf, and this Judge
Hudspeth was compelled to do.
While Annie Karnpf was in the County
Jail, Bernard ~Altenberger, awaiting
fell deeply in love with her. On the day
of his execution. in September, he re
moved a flower from his buttonhoie and
sent it to her.
Annie, through Lawyer Dixon, has, ii
is said, Instituted q suit fer $1,000
against the judges for false imprison-
lnent. Che hes also threatened to sue
Detective Nelson.
The witness against her in the case
for which she Is now arrested is Mary
Plunkett, q employe in the store, whc
declares she saw Annie Kempf put hel
land In Mrs. Clark's pocket and-a abstract
the pocketbook.

We have just passed through a politi-

as is witnessed only once in a generation.
The result was beyond the widest

since the close of the war no event has
been so majestic in itself and so mo-
mentous in its effect upon the future des-
tiny of the nation as the mighty. uprising
Of the people last Tuesday. 1t was a re-
volution not with bullets but with ballots.
There are weapons more deadly than
Gattling guns and torpedoes, and the
slain by them are more numerous, and

result of last Tuesdays election is that
it was not q partisan victory. 1t was
too great, too overwhelming, too uni
yersal. for that. There is no political
party big enough to hold within its
bounds that political uprising except the
party of the people. The elements that
form the great mass of political parties
are changing, and politicians don't seem
to have found it out. Men are Repub-
Leans, Democrats and Prohibitionists,
just the same as they always We're,
only they are becoming intelligent and
thoughtful. They believe in party prin-
ciples and party organization only so
long as they think that the party prin-
cfpies are right and the organizations
are pure. But when party organize
tionS degenerate into machines, con-
trolled BY political bosses, then every
true Republican and every r~ight-minded
Democrat ought to be and is a posi-
ble machine breaker, and that, to my
mind, is one of the greatest lessons of
the election.

WHAT SUNDAY SCHOOLS ARE DOING
Meeting OF the N%eshodist Union In
EnOry Church.

Meeting of the Egeshodist Union In
EmOry Church.
A meeting was held at Emory NJ. E.
Church last night in the interests of
the Sunday School Union of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Bishop Fitzger-
aid presided. After a short service of
song Bishop Fitzgerald said a few words
about the work the Union is doing
among the colored people in the South
and then introduced the Rev. John D.
Pickles, D. D., OF Worcester, Mass, who
talked on 1.-The Methods of Sunday
School Teaching" He said
People do not appreciate the work be-
ing lone by Sunday school teachers. I
want to say something to stimulate the
ardor and the devotion of the teachers.
If we want to be successful teachers VIC
must give God our time and plan for
study and persistent work. The work
of developing the minds n the intel
lectual powers of children is an inn
portant one. The idea which the Sunday
school and the church are striving for
is s~piritualized manhood and womanhood
the making of men truly the sons of
the Lord, God Almighty.

whose proportions are vaster than the
dome of the skies and which will live
on when the earth shall fade away.
Teachers must remember that they are
training the leaders and the ~rnouiders
of the civilization of the future. As
patriots believing in the reign Of the
mmo people we should put our best
efforts INTO the Sunday school work. It
is not upon minds but upon morals that
Republican institutions must stand. l
believe that the boys and girls Of today
will make better men and women than
the men and women of today. In pro-
portion as we value the s~olen1nity and
sublinlity of Sunday school work viii
we give it our study and time. Every
thing depends upon the spirit in which
your work is done. Love YOU work n
it will be successful.
Whatever else we fail In, teachers,
let US not fail in love. Love inspires
careful study. The teacher should not
only know mis- lesson but he should know
the way up to it and the way that fol-
lows it. A teacher should interest him
self in the daily occupations of his
scholars and should carry them to God
in prayer"
Robert R. Doherty, one of the secre-
taries of the Sunday School Union fol
lowed. He gave some statistics of the
work accomplished during the past year.
The statistics were the same hat were
reviewed at Saturday nights meeting.

DIR. Atkinson Also HAS a Shy at the
Defeated Tiger.
The Rev. DR.. John Atkinson, at the
West Side M. E. Church last night,
preached on 1.-THE Meaning of Tuesdays
Election" He said:-"It means, first,
that the people of New York City found
out that they were under the rule of
bad men. New Jersey found it out a
year ago. The fact having become known,
they sought d~eliverance. 1t means, Sec
ondly, that the people will follow a true
leader.
Or. Parkhurst has shown himself to
be such q leader. To his leadership is
due the result of last Tuesdays cleo
ton in New York. Again, it means
that the majority of the people are in
sympathy with the right and opposed
TO the wrong. The corrupt men are a
minority. 1t shows that the Church is
a power in the land. 1t Quickens con-
sciences, stimulates good purposes and
nerves men for the performance of

Tuesday would not have been achieved.
Lastly, it is an evidence thai Ged an
swers prayer. Many were the prayers
that went up on Tuesday morning at
family affairs for the success of the
right at the polls on that day. God
heard those prayers and thrust his arm
into the battle"

Sugar and the Tariff.

The state Gazette" in a moment of
forgetfulness, prints the following with
q spread" headline
BROOKLYN, NY. Nov. IL, 1894. The
defeat OF the Democratic party bears
fruit at the large sugar plant of Have
meyer & Elder and the plant of the
Mollenhauer Company. Both refineries
were compelled to shut down. The
stock of refined sugar was very large
and the outlook was not assuring.
There is now a change in the com
plexion of things. These industries are
both running at full force, and Satur-
day was all hustle and stir.
Before election. the Republican organs
were bowling for free sugar and franti-
cally accusing the Democratic party
of alliance with the Trust" Now really
this sudden flop is bewiIdering. If the
Democracy was the purchased tool or
ally of the Sugar Refining Company,
if it legislated altogether in the interest
of that company, how can it's defeat
have such a stimulating effect inside
four days.
Does the Estate Gazette take the
American public for fools?

NOW, the New York press" comes
out with an idiotic proposition to incor-
porate a high protection article in the
Constitution. Among other things it
wants the power of tariff legislation
taken away from Congress and vested in
a Commission. The Constitutional mini
mum of duties is to be the difference in
cost of production Of commodities here
and abroad. and the courts are to have
power to readjust duties where the Com
mission Ignores this specification.
Evidently, this is the Press silly
season. But it may be remarked that
if the tariff were evenl adjusted to the
difference in cost of production as de-
scribed, even the rates in the present
socaned Senate measure would be reduced
one-half on most articles.
