all the time diligently plying the cray on

The Glee club made quite a hit the
other night when it run in the little dig
on the Greek play. The club was sing
ing the ever popular darkeY melody,

frain comes in after every line. For the
encore the soloist sang:
When Electra tells her sorrows and her words
How forth in streams Refrain
And Shrysothemis comes tripping in and tells
her mothers dreams, Refrain
When, PyladeS leads Orestes and his thirsty
dagger CLEANS, Refrain
And from out the palace comes the sound of
ClytemneStra'S screams,

MRS. THORPE'S GENEROSITY
How She Gave Portion OF Her Small
Salary to Help a Needy Family.

How She Gave q Portion OF Her Small
Salary to Help a Needy Family.
One of the men who was on the
Populist police force, in commenting
upon the removal of Police MatrOn L Z.
Thorpe, told the following story about
the generosity of that lady:
ut was during the cold weather of
last winter that Mrs Thorpe was out
doing what she could to relieve the suf-
fering of the poor. In the western part
of the city she found a mother and
family of small children. The little ones
were only half clothed, and they were
without shoes, though it was very cold.
They were crying with hunger and were
in a miserable condition. Do you know
what Mrs. Thorpe did? She did
not hunt up some enc who
would relieve the family but
her tender heart was touched, and out of
her meager salary of $40 she took SIS and
bought the family groceries and provis-
IONS She also bought cloth and sat up
nights and made clothing for the chill
dren. That woman was better than the
whole associated charities"
DR.. J. B. Hibben, city health officer,
says that Mrs. Thorpe was very useful
woman at the city prison. He says he
has gone there and found her comb,ng the
hair and waiting upon the unfortunate
women in the city prison. "Mrs. Thorpe
did more good than any ten men on the
police force" said he.

THE TABLES TURNED.

A Prosecuting Witness Becomes De-
PENDANT in the Police Court.
Arthur Tweedale, who was a COM
planning witness in the police court yes
terday, was there in b is own defense to-
day. When A l. Jones. the Parkdal Q
butcher, tried to collect a bill from
Tweedale they had a row, and Jones was
arrested for being disorderly. At first he
resolved to fight the case but late yester-
day he changed his tactics, plead guilty
and was fined So. Then he had Tweed
ale arrested for assaulting him with an
axe. Tweedale gave bond for his ap-
pearance.
Last night Jones' conscience began to
get in its work. Surprising Tweedale
was still in Jail. The case was spiteful
one on both sides, but he didn't wish to
do Tweedale an injustice, He made a
good resolve and went to the police head
quarters to get his assaulter out He
found him already out on bond, SO it was
unnecessary to put his good resolve into
execution. The case was continued to-
day

LAST OF THE DEFOYS.
Leaves Topeka for GoOd-Most of the
Family Now Dead.

Leaves Topeka for GOOd-Most of the
Family Now Dead.
A short time ago a man who was
known in Topeka by the name of Her
man DeFoy moved to Oklahoma. He is
the last of the famous or infamous
DeFoy family which hourished in To-
peka for years In the days when police
regulations in Topeka were more lax
than they are now the DeFoy family
was at the zenith of its financial success
and the name of "Madam DeFoy" was
very familiar to a certain class. She
made money and was reported to be
quite wealthy. Her place at the corner
of Twelfth street and Kansas avenue
was the most popular of the disreputable
places in the city and Madam DeFoy
and her family dressed we'll and ap-
peared on the streets in stylish turnouts.
But, with the Tightening up of the po-
lice regulations, the star of this well
known character began to sink. Then
she was taken sick and her property was
the hope of recovering her health, but
soon afterward returned to Topeka and
died. Her daughter May died little
more than year ago and the mortgage
on the property was foreclosed and the
property sold.
During a part of the winter the son,
lame and debilitated, lived in the house
at the corner of Tenth and Jackson
streets, but again the police interposed
and he went to Oklahoma, so that there
is not now a single representative of the
family left in Topeka

ADOPTED A BUM.
The Police Department Has a New Dog
That's the Pride of the Force


That's the Pride of the Force.
Tramps, hoboes, and buns come and
go at the Topeka police headquarters,
but there is one bum who has located
there permanently and is liable to be a
permanent fixture of the Topeka police
department.
"Bum" is a dog One cold wet night,
about three weeks ago, Night Jailer Hop
kins heard a paving at the door leading
to the entrance hallway. He opened the
door and saw shivering, shaggy, black
shepherd dog, with a general air of
humility and cold wet nose which he
longed to rub on anybody who would love
him Hopkins is too tender hearted an
officer to refuse even a friendless dog
shelter on such night, SO he allowed
him to enter and gave him square meal
from a big bucket of victuals which
the prisoners had left. The dog ate
everything in sight from dry bread to
cold meat and then tackled bone as
large as tea kettle, which he finally
gave up in despair. But from that mo-
ment Hopkins had decided to name the
dog @Bum" and they became fast friends.
bum" likes all the policemen and fire.
quently follows them on their beats, but
he always shows up at night "Bum"
wears collar now, with a big tin star
attached to it. The dog seems to realize
the glory of his official collar and carries
himself with more dignity than he did
for the first few days. Hopkins insists
that bum" is an exceptionally bright
dog, and that be will soon be the pride
of the force and a credit to the town.

HOLD-UP ON KANSAS AVE.
"Long" Bowman Meets Two Footpads
Near the Douthitt Tract, But Escapes.

"Long" Bowman Meets Two Footpads
Near the DOuthitt Tract, But Escapes.
The first real hold-up which has &C.
Cured in Topeka for many months was
reported to the police this week. Long"
Bowman, young man who drives
huckster's wagon, was the victim. He
was walking north on Kansas avenue,
along the Douthitt tract, between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets, about 10 30
n. NJ, when he was met by two men who
stopped him with some question regard
ing directions. Finally, one of them
asked Bowman if he had any money.
He had about $40, but he didn't say so.
One of the men with an oath and a
threat started to lay hold of him, when
Bowman started and ran towards town.
The men followed him for nearly a
block and then went into the Douthitt
orchard. Bowman recognized one of
the men and thinks he knows the other.
The two men who are suspected have
skipped the town and the officers are
looking for them.
Sheriff Burdge knows young Bowman
we'll and says he is reliable young
man, who is working hard to make his
own way in the world.

A Report That Jack Morton Killed Flo
Douglas in Colorado Springs.
News of a sensational, but unauthen-
ticated character reached the police
headvuarters last night, to the effect that
Mrs Jack Morton, better known as "Flo
Douglas" had been killed at Colorado
Springs by her husband. AS the story
goes Morton became enraged at his wife
while he was drunk, and knocking her
down, jumped on her, inficting internal
injuries from which she died in a few
hours in terrible agony. The report did
not say whether Morton was under arrest
or not. This report came to Police Cap
tain John Gardiner second hand.
Mrs. Morton left Topeka. this spring,
when many women of her class were
driven from town. She and her usband
were last heard from in Hutchinson.
Morton is young man who was at one
time we'll connected in Topeka He and
his hayward wife were not very happy
in their married life, as she horse
whipped him on Kansas avenue year
ago, and the police were frequently
called upon to quelI their domestic dis
urbances.

LESS MEAT Is USED HERE.
The Consumption of Meat in Topeka Has
Been Greatly Reduced.

Meat Inspector w. H. Gifllan says
that the city has received less fees for
meat inspection during the past month
than for many months. The receipts for
the past month were less than 5000, and
he said that ArmOurs alone have paid
more than that in a single month.
The city receives 10 cents per 100
pounds on all meats shipped to Topeka,
and fee of 10 cents per head for cattle
and cents for other stock is collected
on all animals slaughtered in the city.
The meat inspector says that the ex-
ceedingly small consumption Of meat in
Topeka is principally the result of the re-
cent rise in prices, and then, too, eggs
are cheap and they are used by many
families as a substitute for meat The
strict observance of Lent is in a small
measure responsible for the reduction in
the sale of meats.

Ancient Musical INSTRUMENTS.

In the Metropolitan Museum Of AFs
IN New York city there is an interesting
collection of musical instruments of all
nations, many of which belong to past
centuries. They lie silently in the glass
cases The strings Of mapdolins and
Iutes that made sweet music in aass
gone by are broken and twisted, and
the fingers that once swept them have
passed away, but still the air seems
trembling with melody. Imagination
pictures the banquet hall, the summer
nights when the troubadour sang songs
nnder his ladylove's window, or the
Bedouin camp in the desert, where the
flute and guitar were played during the
evening hour of repose. There are in.
struments here of all characters-rude
violins and banjos fashioned by savage
hands, and dainty Tyres inlaid with gold
and mother of pearl, instruments which
have played their part in ancient cere.
monies in faraway India and China in
the castles of the middle ages and in the
African wilderness. It is interesting to
note that all nations have tried to make
instruments to please the eye as we'll
as to produce sweet sounds. The stringed
instruments and flutes of savage races
are often grotesque and even ugly &

his best. He carved his instruments as
well as he could and also adorned lie

Are Seen by the Coal Barons.
AT the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday
and at the Hamburg American dock in
Hoboken there was a large gathering Of
Leisenrings, Kemmerers, Wentzes,
Fighters and other ''coal barons" Of the
Lehigh valley to say goodby to Mr.. E.
B. Leisenring. president Of the Lehigh
Coal Navigation company, whose fail
ing health has at length caused him to
lay down the immediate supervision Of
mis- vast business interests and go to Eu.
rope for recuperation and recreation.
Talking with these coal barons, l was
much interested to find that they are
taking very hopeful view of the bust
ness situation and that quite apart from
the fact that the great anthracite coal
industry in which they are more special
" interested has had more than its
share of prosperity during the long sea-
son when the bituminous coal regions
all over the country were blighted by
strike of most comprehensive proper,
tions.
Mr.. NJ. 3. kemmerer said that tie
most encouraging sign to his mind was
the improvement in the iron industry,
q branch of business closely allied to
coal mining, and the two together hav
ing much to do with the general pros
peritv of the country. A day or two agp
came az order from Brazil for the man

has been going on, there is perceptible

panies has booked more orders within
