Two Hundred and Fifty Little Girls
Secured and so More Wanted
Other Features of the

and they will be arranged in such a
way that they will form the American
flag, stars, stripes, and all.
The dresses will cost but 40 cents
each and will be made all alike with
plain full skirt blouse, hose to match
and Tam O'Shanter hat. The material
has been purchased.

WEARY WALKER ONCEMORE
The castor Hobo'' Becomes a Tramp
Again.

New York, Sept. John Carney, the
Aston hobo, has fallen from his high
estate. Six months ago he was a vag-
rant who asked for handouts at back
doors, carried a tomato can, and slept
on the docks, in Railways or barns.
One happy night fame came to him.
He found an open door in John Jacob
Astor's house, staggered in, fell asleep
in the milliOnaire's bed, and awoke to
find himself famous. No longer was he
q plain, unarmed tramp.
The ''Astor hobo he was from that
time on-the very Ii Hung Chang of
tramps, to whom people gave cold pie
and cast off patent leather shoes and
high hats.
Recently he turned 1ongshoreman
and for two days actually worked on
the dock. But he still wore his crack
ed patent feathers and high hat and his
title. He lost respect as we'll as caste,
and at the end of the second day some
one stole his swell clothes.
Totally disguised he is once more a
tramp, but only a plain tramp.

Single Tax Meeting in Madison Square
Stopped

New York, Sept. 7.-PoIice of the
West Thirtieth street station who were
detailed to attend the meeting of the
Bryan and Sewa1 campaign club of
single takers in front of DR.. Charles H
Parkhurst's church, Twenty-fourth
street and Madison avenue, interrupt
ed the assemblage Saturday night. The
meetings have been going on in the
same place for several nights The in
terruption came at 10 p. m, while Mr..
Leasing, editor of the Wall Street FL
nancial News, was speaking
A complaint has been filed with Police
captain Chapman, it is said, by house
holders in the neighborhood. On re-
ce1V1ng the complaint, Acting Inspec-
tor Harley saw DR.. NJ. Miller, chairman
of the campaign club, who agreed to
have the meeting closed at 10 O'Clock
For the last three years the Manhattan
Single Tax club, of which the Bryan
and Sewan campaign club is an off
shoot, has been meeting every pleasant
evening of the summer, and often
these gatherings have been kept up
until midnight
Ofhc1als of the club were trying Sat
urday night to ascribe the Interference
to the fact that the Republican ma
tiOnal committee headquarters are in
the Metropolitan Life building which is
next to the Madison Square Presbyter-
ian church.
They suggested in support of this
argument that no one lived within the
reach of any speakers voice, as the
nearest house was that owned by H
Clay Miner, on the north side of Tween
ty-fOurth street and Madison avenue
and that house has not been occupied
for several months
When policeman told Mr. Leasing
that the hour for closing had arrived
the chairman informed the crowd of
the police order. It was received with
many Kisses. The chairman advised
his hearers to go quietly away and said
that there would be another meeting
this evening, when possibly a test case
would be made by allowing the speak
ers to go on after 10 o'clock
Mr.. Leasing also explained that the
police on the detail had only carried out
the orders of their superiors. Rather
! than get them into trouble he would
stop the meeting.
