axis is bit loose, as regards the globe
itself. The effect is that the North

warning will get hurt by going too

POLICE THINK IT A DREAM.
Miss Tilden's Story of Two Men
in Her Room Dorbted.
They Found No Trace of Nocturnal
Intrudcrs.

Detectives Mccormack and Dennedy,
of the Fifth avenue station. brooklyn,
after examining the premises iGi IL Six
teenth street. reported to Capt. Murphy
this morning that in their opinion Miss
Minnie Tilden's strange experience in
her room early yesterday morning was II
dream.
The detectives say that It would have
been improbable for two men to gain
access to her room on the top floor and
then escape without leaving any trace
OF their means of exit.
Miss Tilden is n pretty typewriter,
eighteen years old. She still adheres to
her original story, and scouts the theo-
ry of Il nightmare.
1t was about l.50 yesterday morning,
Miss T'ilden says. when she was sudden
ly awakened and saw two men In her
room. She sat upright in her bed and
one or the tntrudcrS caught her around
the waist and kissed her several times.
Miss Tilden SAYS she struggled with
the man and tried to scream but could
not utter sound. Finally she Jumped
from the bed, wrenched herself from the
grasp of her assailant and in her night
gown ran downstairs to the parlor.
The two men, sch says. fed to the
basement and made their escape by the
back windows into the yard. Mlss Tilden
nolds, the landlady OF the house who
had been awakened by a commotion IN
the hall.
Miss Tilden was then hysterical. and
could hardly relate her experience. A
search of the house was made by Mrs.
Reynolds. her husband and the other
boarders, but no trace of the two men
could be found.
Mrs. Reynolds's servant, Michael
Cody, was sleeping i'm the basement of
the house at the time OF the incident.
but he says he was not awakened until
Mrs. Reynolds called him.
1t is the general belief among the
boarders that Miss Tilden was dreaming
Miss Tilden says she cannot describe
the men, but is positive they were in
her room.

ASKS CONSENT TO BOIL FATS.
DR.. Roberts Fears the Privilege

Residents Near Forty-fourth Street
and East River May Protest.

The United Dressed Beef Company, of
Forty fourth street and East River. has
asked permission from the Board Of
Health to boil fats In It's factory. The
application appears to be a very
simple request on its face, but II the
privilege Is granted II IL feared II may
result In the development OF a great nut
sance.
The Company proposes. should the ap-
plication be granted, TO boil about one
million pounds Of tallow per week, which
Is to be collected from the various retail
markets throughout the city.
Sanitary Supt. DR. Roberts. at the
meeting OF the board OF Health yester-
day, which was called especially to
give n hearing In the matter, refused TO
approve Of the application on the ground
that II was not sufficiently explicit and
because he suspected that the boiling
OF the fat might greatly Interfere with

Vigilant had not yet been sold. He

many people still have strong hopes that
there will be an ocean race between VAL

1t has been sointed out that Valkyrie's
racing Spars have been sent TO England,
and that therefore she could not take part
in such a contest. Yachtsmen say, how
