CALAMITY, NOT FLIRTING.
Discharged Policeman Dolpher
Says He Was Simply Courteous.
He Is Thinking OF Suing tho L. 1.
Railroad for Damages.

Theodore Dolpher, the Long Island
Railroad train policeman, who was dis
charged for violating the new rule pro-
viding that employees must not flirt, Is
contemplating bringing a suit against
the Company for damages. He was In
New York to-day to consult Lawyer
Frederick NJ. Lincoln, of the Pulitzer
Building, and told an Evening World
reporter very emphatically that he had
been the victim of spite.
Mr.. Dolpher does not deny that he was
courteous to the ladies he knew. and
he admits that he knew many, but he
claims that his superior, Capt. Sarvis,
could not distinguish between gallantry
and flirting. For instance, he says tina,
he exchanged tintypes with som OF
his lady friends, but he thinks that any
one who would call that evidence of fiirt-
ing has not been properly brought up.
And right here 1t is timely to state
that Doipher's tintype is spoken OF
along the line as the picture OF as hand.
some man as ever wore uniform. IL
reveals a smiling countenance. model
mustache. bright eyes and the figure
of an Apollo. And still, 30 some say
the tintype didn't do justice to the man
1t failed they state, to portray the mil.
itary tread and the manly bearing OF
the subject. These qualifications are due
to the fact that for twelve years DolpheI
was an officer in the Holland navy. He
has two medals to prove the truth OF
this statement, and can talk learnedly
of all the countries of the world: But
the Long Island Railroad is harder &c
please than Holland, for 1t kept Dolphei
only thirty nine days.
During three weeks of that time he
