Flotsam and Jetsam.

With the opening of Congress the peren-
NAL officesrcker has come to town, and he
has come IN great numbers, The genus is
not present in groups OF twos and threes,
here and there, but in veritsble swarns
everywhere. The member OF Congress who
has any patronage ut his disposal hath,
therefore, no peace from the opportunities
Of the visitors.
Or course, there is not the same crush OF
orficeseekers In town at the present time
as visits the capital at the inauguration or
a new administration, but on account OF the
changed political complexion of the new
Congress the number is very large for an off
year.
On every hand the seekers after Con-
gressional fayors are in evidence.
In the lobbies OF the Capitol during the
hours when the branches OF Congress are
in session, and in the hotel lObbics In the
evening, in fact in all places where you see
a Congressman You may find an office

NEW YORK CROOKS HERE
Two Men Caught in u Hoboken Depot
Plylng Their Erade

Private Detectives Hansen and Nc
Clellan, of the D., l.. & w. R. R., Sat
urday afternoon arrested two men in the
train shed at Hoboken, just previous to
the train leaving for Newark. The men,
when placed under arrest, demanded to
know the cause of their arrest, and re-
fused to bulge an inch. The detectives
told them that they were suspected pick
pockets and general crooks. After a
moments thought the men quietly ac-
companied the detectives to the Hoboken
Police Headquarters. At the Station
House they refused to tell their names,
or say a word and were locked III.
This morning when arraigned before
Recorder McDonough they said they
were James Stiles, a bartender at the
Manhattan Cafe, Manhattan avenue and
115th street, New York. and James Marvin,
of No. 262 West SD street. New York,
Both men protested against the arrest.
and denounced it an outrage. Stiles said
he was on his way to Dover, N. j., to
see his mother and that friends would
be over to prove that he was no crook.
Detective Hansen stated that he saw
the men attempt to pick a lady's pock-
cts, just before they entered the car.
He said there was another man with
them, but he got away. This man who
escaped was at Marvin's fiat, in New
York Saturday night inquiring if the men
had returned. Marvin, Hansen says. is
known as Jenkins at the fat, and he has
er. His closet is filled with various kinds
of pawnable articles, and the New York
police, Hansen further added, have had
| him under surveillance for some time.
! They suspect him of being a burglar.
Upon Hansen's evidence Recorder Nc
Donough sentenced the prisoners to 80
laws at Snake Fill.

SHOT At THE POLICE
Robbers Give the Hoboken
Detectives Plenty Of
Work to Do.

Hoboken had a scourge of sneak
thieveries and-burglar.es on Saturday and
Sunday nights. evidently committed by
a well organized gang whom the police
are now using every effort to break up.
The first of the robberies committed
by knights Of the Jiramy" was in a new
house which, is in course of erection at
Castle Point. The house belongs to the
estate of the late Q Stevens. Only a
I quantity of tools were taken.
A SNEAKY THIEF THIS TIME.
Burglary number two was the doings
of a sneak thief. who entered a house
on Washington street, between Third and
Fourth streets, and helped himself TO a
number of fancy articles, including q
| handsome gold mounted clock. He got
away scot free.
The third and last of the robberies was
committed last night, shortly after ten
O'Clock. Burglars forced an entrance
into the dry goods store of Moses New
mark, at No. 105 Adams street. Mr..
Newmark says they got in through the
fanlight. There were four burglars, ana
every one of them escaped. They did
not succeed in getting away with any
thing. however, as Mr.. Newmark return
ed in time tossee them leave.
CHASED THE THIEVES.
He yelled Police, stop thief!' at the
top of his voice. and a detective from
Police Headquarters appeared on the
scene. The detective let one man run by
him and gave chase to the other three.
The burglars ran down Adams street,
across, the D., L. & w. r. R. tracks,
to Jersey City, and escaped.
RETURNED HIS SHOT.
During the chase the detective tired
his revolver at the fleeing burglars, and
one of the burglars fired back The de-
tective, however. scared the burglars into
dropping two rolls of dry goods, a
number of towels, napkins and table
cloths, which he took to Headquarters.
SCOLDED THE POLICE.
When the police came in at midnight
| yesterday Captain Hayes called Officers
Sullivan, Kirchner and Peters before him
and upraided them for not being on
hand to arrest the burglars, who en-.
tered Newmark's store. Those of1cers'
| posts all take in that vicinity.
Ed. Schroeder of No. 80 Beacon ave
nue., Jersey City Heights, told Detective
Fenton this morning that he saw a man
lurking around the tracks of the d., L.
| & w. r. r., neal Henderson street, early
this morning with a handkerchief tied
around his arm. 1t is thought the mar
is the one Detective Fenton shot at. He
Is now looking for the disabled man.

MADAM Or R

Or. Julia Holmes Smith Discusses
How TO Address a woman.
A matter which has not penetrated the
most remote quarters of the earth, but
which has received some consideration
from the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union women in the Union Sig
nal," is the question of how to address
a woman. In the general upheaxal
which is taking place they wish even the
title to undergo a change. Women are
depioring the. fact tina Miss or Mrs.
advertises the state of their blessedness,
whether it be double or single, and this
they claim is an unfair advantage, since
q man is Mr.. whether married or not.
one writer says. THE best way OF
designating a woman is to address her al
madam Irrespective Of her social con-
dttion, just as we call every man mis-
ter This would be consistent and is only
simple justice to women Another holds
tina as a boy is master and a man
mister SO girls should be miss and
women mistress" irrespective of whe-
Their they are married or single. Not
w-ithstanding all of the discussion that
may be had in regard to Mr.. and Miss
being preixed to the name. most women
are of the opinion that good common
sense will. in the end, decide that no
change for the better can be made.-Dr.

the dues 81, to be paid on or before NOV
ember /, 1895, in case the league Is or
ganized before that date. The purpose
OF those most interested is to Civ to the
league absolute control over the brancn
and inter-branch or association contests
of any kind. With the approval or the
International Committee, the League
would be absolutely the governing booy
in Y. NJ. c. A. athletics in America ana
Canada. This would bring every branch
and association on the continent within
the fold, for unless a branch were a
member of the league, its members could
participate in no contest outside of their
own branch.
The proposed Y. M. C. A. league aims
to be as powerful in Its own field in
this direction as is the A. A. U. in its
field. The league will be fully as strict
in its requirements as the great amateur
athletic body. !
Only those associations which have
been members of the league at least one
month before any championship will be
allowed TO enter men in the champions
ship. individuals will be obliged to be
members of the branch which they may
represent at least three months previous
to the championship. A requiremenl
which will be the hardest to conform 70.
and which aims to keep all athletic
members within the confines of the T.. NJ.
C. A, is that no member OF the assoeia-
ton desiring to compete In a champion
ship meeting shall have represented any
other association or club for at least
three months previous to competing.
This does not refer to athletic associa-
lions in schools or colleges. If a member
association contests he win, when the
league is organized, be compelled to re
nounce all other athletic Affiliations. II
may not be so intended, but this re-
cuirement will be regarded as a slap at
the A. A. U.
The league is to be strictly amateur
in its tendencies. There are many pro-
fessionals in the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasiums;
but while they will be welcome to partici-
pate IN the branch exercises, they will
not be permitted to compete in league
contests. No meets are to be considered
as championships except those sanction
ed by the governing body of the league,
and championships will be held only in
the International Committee. This will
finally come to mean the Pentathlon
events, it IS said. These are the 100
yard dash, mile rum, hammer throw,
pole vault. and high jump. The govern
ing body of the. league will have the
power to suspend any association for

MADE A COMPASS USELESS.
Steel Corsets and a Dynamo Resulted

Steel Corsets and "a Dynamo Resulted
in Some Remarkable Meviatfona.
The story that a deviation from her
compass, resulting from the presence of
steel in a cork leg worn by the man at
the wheel. caused the steamer Susan e.
PECK to strand near Bar Point, Lake
: Erie, in September last, with a loss to
the underwriters of upwards of $40, 900,
recalls to the Milwaukee wisconsin" a
similar circumstance.
According to the narrator, on one of
the trips of the fine steel steamer Cas-
ALA down Lake Huron the last season,
the second mate reported to Captain
Allen that the compass had suddenly
gone wrong; that the needle would swing
three or four points to the right or left
at intervals, and that because of these
cratic movements It had become utterly
impossible to steer a course-in fact, he
had lost track of the course altogether.
Captain Allen accompanied the mate to
he pilot house and found matters just as
they had been described. Besides the
man at the wheel two lady passengers
We're in the pilot house when Captain
Allen entered. Turning to them, after
nedifating a moment, he asked if they
wore steel corsets. A reply in the affirm
ative led to a further question as to
where they had been, and this elected
the hat the ladies had pad
a visit to the engine room, and that
while there the engineer had afforded
them an opportunity to inspect the dyn-
amo which supplied the electric lights of
the steamer. THAT settles 1t,you must get

they were walking back to the cabin m

like authority, that compass got right
down to sta.d business again and showed
the man at the wheel the way with its

to explain that the dynamo had magnet

and that the corsets became responsible
for the crazy race the needle of the COM
