peradoes In western Pennsylvania the other
DAY, who held up two locomotives and
amused themselves with panic stricken
picnic party.
The exploits of these Pennsylvania out
laws scarcely deserve 60 rank with the
feats Of western road agents. for they com
mitted no robbery. although they did not
hesitate at murder. They seemed actuated
by spirit Of deviltry and delighted In
making their victims dance TO the music Of
whistling bullets. The scene OF their op-
erations was about seven miles from Pitts
burg ON the pittsburg and Western rail-
road.
A shifting engine was standing ON the
track about half mile from Whitman sta
ticn, when the engineer and fireman were
saluted by two pistol shots, and two evil

the boiler and struck Engineer Rose In the
face, and he fell to the floor. In response
to the circumstances of the fireman the

found to be Freddy" Neff. said: I'VE want
you TO haul us to Idlewild. Seer"

quickly disappeared. The fireman whis-
tied for assistance.
The crew from the freight train jumped

BILE. The fireman was explaining matters
and at the same time assisting the engineer

consisting OF engineer, fireman, six brake
men and the conductor, stood in group

Mr.. Bradley went down from New York
city, where he makes brushes, to camp on
some lots he owned at Ocean Grove, then
Just insugurated ms Methodist camp meet
ing resort. While there he explored the sur
rounding territory and concluded that the
adjoining 500 acres would make a good site
for q model summer resort. Thereupon he
bought the land, cleared of the brush, laid
out streets and began TO sell lots.
He has been selling lots ever since, and
I'm every deed made out appears a stipula-
tion that no intoxicating liquor shall be
sold upon the property conveyed. This
stipulation has made lots of trouble for
Brother Bradley. Many Of his assigns,
looking with longing eyes and itching fin
gers ON the alcoholic prosperity Of Coney
Island, hafe murmured % the restriction
and sought In various ways TO evade It.
But Brother Bradley was bound TO enforce
that clause though 10 kept him In the
courts continually and brought him no end
of notoriety. Incidentally he found the no
toriety profitable and sold more lots.
But be had other troubles. He tried TO
close mp all places Of business In Asbury
Park on Sunday, and that got In the papers.
Then q woman druggist whom he had ar
rested for liquor selling sued him for false
imprisonment and after u years fighting
got verdict for 81. 500. The papers printed
all about that too. They also lampooned
him about the cut OF the suits that he in
sisted should be worn by bathers ON his
beach and incidentally roasted" him
about many other things. But he kept
tight on selling lots.
The most notorious of all Brother Brad
iey's troubles. however, and one which has
cropped up again this year, has been his
trouble with the colored people who go to
Asbury Park every summer as servants.
These people. he claims, monopolized the
best seats In the park and payi!ions and
INSTRUCTED the beach and the board walk
70 the detriment and disgust OF white
guests and sojourners. Finally he put up
notices forbidaing colored people the privi-
leges they had abused, and great was the
howl thereat. Indignation meetings were
held, and again the thing got into the ps-
pers. But Brother Bradley has not stopped
calling lots

Low Rodicen.

I should like to make the women Of
America understand that there Is no day
time occasion elaborate enough to permit
a low bodice. Whether 1t be introducing
q daughter into society, whether 1t be
giving an afternoon dance, an elaborate
tea-indeed no matter what the affair may
be--a low bodice is always bad form. The
fact that the queen of England forces her
ladies to appear at court in low bodices Is
q subject OF modification to many Of them
and great laughter to those arbiters Of
fashion, the French, who would never
think of making such mistake as dis
playing even the round Of the throat be-
fore dark.
For that reason the French BRIDES gown
is high. Women of good taste understand
this and would as soon expect to wear q
low bodice or have an afternoon gown cut
low as they would to see their men visitors
appear In dress clothes. You may cite
number Of women who do it, but no mat
ter who those women may be they are
making an absolute mistake in dressing,
and mistake that is rs crude as possible.
