 ties?


 ties?
 As rule women have no use for par liamentary law, and very few ideas of organization. This was humorously Illustrated the other day, when half a dozen ladies met to organize a church charitable society. After they had sat looking at each other a trifie nervously for awhile. one of them said ''lt seems we are here Now, what are we going to do?"
 "Oh, dear," said another, "I don't know, but do let us do something
 What they did was to fall to talking voluminously upon the work they ex- pected to accomplish and the poor folks they knew in the congregation. They spent two hours or more at this. and discussed a good many plans As they were adjourning one of them said: "Oh, suppose we ought to have president"
 Why, of course we ought" the rest assented.u
 "l don't suppose anybody will object to Mrs. Smith? Let's have her"
 'All right, lets,' chirruped the rest. And nobody objected to names pro-  posed for secretary and treasurer.
 The secretary few days afterward consulted her husband as to how she should write up the minutes.

 "Who. then. put the motions before the meeting?"

A prosperous-looking farmer, who looked as though he had not always been so prosperous, and hungry. cadaverous-looking individual, who by his conversation had evidently seen better days, met at the gates of the stock yards in West Philadelphia the other day. The farmer had just sold a drove of steers and had big wad in his pocket The other had nothing to sell, and an aching 7oid below the belt. The man who had seen better days asked the prosperous-looking farmer for aid. He of the wad looked the hungry stranger over carefully. You say you haven't had square meal in a week?" he interrogated. That's right" replied the other. And that you were we'll brought up and once moved in fashionable so- ciety?"

who were apprehended in London on

several thousand dollars from Isaac

The two prisoners were then dis
| charged from custody.
Then Isaac Levy was indicted by TN
Grand Jury for perjury. arrested aht

BURGLARS AT GLEN COVE.
Rob the Post-Onice OF S1,7OO and
Escape ON q Hand-Car.


GLEN COVE, L. l., Aug. 1.-Burglars
broke into the post-offics at this place
early this morning and made big haul.
Thomas Murphy, who keeps a saloon
near the post-office. at about 2 A. M.
saw three strange men ON the roof of
the post-office building. For some UNI
explained reason Murphy did not give
the alarm. The burglars effected an en-
trance to the post office through the sky
light of the building. They tore open
letters and forced the safe, from which
they obtained $500 in cash and 81 200 in
stamps.
Postmaster James Cox did not hear of
the robbery until long after the thieves
had escaped from the village on hand
car belonging to the Long Island Rail-
| road. They abandoned the hand-car at
Glen Head, where they are supposed to
have boarded the first train for New
| York.
Postmaster Cox at once reported the
| robbery to the New York postal authori-
ties and Government detective Is ex-
pected here to make an investigation.
The thieves operated on the same plan
as the well-organized band Of post-office
burglars who robbed many post Offices
and railroad stations along the line OF
| the Long Island Railroad several
months ago. That gang was arrested In
New York and are now In prison.

sW|ADuMe THE RAILROAD.
Conductors, Brakemen and Agents
Said to Be in tho Scheme.
Tickets Not Punched but Sold Over
Again to the Public.

LONG ISLAND CITY. l.. l.. Aug. L.
Charles Slater, a brakeman on the New
York and Rockaway Beach division of
the Long Island Railroad, was arraigned
before Justice Ingram this morning and
held in $500 bail upon a charge of col
lecting and selling tickets offered by
passengers for fares.
The complainant was Orville Dickin-
son, station agent at Arverne. He
charged Slater with selling him thirty
two tickets for S2.5. Dickinson claims
that Slater was the brakeman on run rs
on Monday, and sid the tickets after
the run was made. Slater lives on
Clay street, Greenpoint. When Slater
was arraigned for hearing this morning
Lawyer Thomas o. Kadien arose and,
shaking his fist at Lawyer Kelly. of the
Long Island Railroad Company, said:
III there is any duplicity In this
case; Station Agent Dickinson is the
client, Slater, merely COLLECTED the
tickets for the conductor which is a
/ frequent occurrence, and foolshly
ut might be shown that Dickinson
sold the tickets over again, and now
he comes into court and makes an
affidavit against Slater. the dupe in
Island Railroad to coach one guilty
man in order to convict his dupe."
1t appears that for some time EN-
ployees have been robbing the road, con
being mixed UP in the scheme. Accord
Ing to the rules of the Company, no one
but the conductors are allowed to col
lect tickets. He Is required to punch the
same in the presence of the passengers
The brakemen collect the tickets, ant
as they are not allowed to carry punch
they turn the tickets collected over L
the conductor to. punch. The conduc
tors, It Ii said, fail to punch the tickets
and they are distributed among the sta
tion agents, who sell them again and di
vide the proceeds among the conductor
and brakemen.
Dozens of conductors, brakemen an,
station agents are said to be concerned
In the scheme.

Liverpool and Queenstown, ran down
the fishing schooner Antelope, Capt.
John Bugden, last Monday OF the New

1t was foggy at the time. although the
lookout could see about half mile away
He sighted the Antelope about $50
clock In the morning only few rods
distant and directly ahead.
The Antelope was riding at anchor
right In the tracks of ocean liners, and
she carried no lights nor blew no horn.
A collision was inevitable, and the big
liner crashed into the Anteiopes port
quarter aud tore her stern completely

The Majestic was under pretty good
Roadway, and Capt. Parsell was on the
bridge. After the crash, the ocean levi

Chief oficer Acheson, of the Males
