dent Faure and the Czarina sat together

The weather was rainy and altogether

CLEVER GIRL THIEF.
Detective Catches Her Robbfng
ROGER Store.

Detective Holderer, of the Webster
Avenue Police Station, this morning ar
rested a clever little girl thief who for a
couple of weeks past has been tapping
the tin in the grocery store of John
Wurster, at No. 4e5 Central avenue. Wur-
ster complained to Captain McNulty last
night that he was missing money every
day from his till, but had no suspicion
who the person was.
Detective Holderer was put upon the
case, and he visited the store this morn
ing as soon as 1T was opened, and Sc
GREETED himself in a rear room, where ne
COULD see everything that was going on in
the store without being seen himself. He
nrst placed a marked dollar bill in the
till.
Shortly before seven o'clock little six
teen year old Szepora Hager, of No. 8
Graham street, entered the store with a
coal scattle and asked Wurster, who was
the only person in charge of the store
20 get her some coal.
Wurster took the scuttle and went out
ssde TO MI IT. He had no more than left
the store when Szepora jumped upon the
counter and leaning back opened the till
ana took out the marked dollar bill. She
nurrIediy secreted 1T in her bosom and
assumed the same innocent expression
winch she always had. She was about TO
start for the door to meet Wurster with
her coal when Detective Holderer laid a
S-y oPOh i1CE sIOutu6F ana QUIET
~ told her that she was under arrest. He
mad slipped up behind her without at
tracting her %attention
When he told her that he had seen her
take the money and place it in her cor
sage she looked him square in the face
ana without wincing a particle admitted
that 1T was true.
But" she added in a calm. sad tone
again"
u cant do it, little girl replied Ho,-
oeter. I'm sorry, but you'll have TO go
along with me-"
Wurster, when he learned who his thief
was, was astonished. He could not speak
Ior nearly a minute and merely held up
ms hands. When he gathered his scat
lerea senses he muttered, Mine Got,
who voult hat drought hid"
The girl. who Is very small for her ave
does not appear to be more than eleven
or twelve years old. She was taken be-
lore Police Justice Douglass and held FOR

Inc girls brother-in-law Henry Ne1,-

might know something of her where
aoouts. He was only married to her three
months ago.. Szepora when questioned
concerning her sister, Mrs. Neumann-
sald that she knew nothing whatever
The child, the police say. does not look
like an old offender. and thew think tba
rooong OF Wurster is her first venture in
that fine.

HOW ASPHALT IS Laid

Judging by the crowds which daily
stop to awtch the progress OF the work,
the laying OF the asphalt pavement on

the day. If any one wants to know how
far the Improvement has progressed he
has only to stand on York street and
look toward the ferry and he can easily
locate the scene of operations by the
crowds or the sidewalk.
There is certainly something of interest
about this work which causes everyone
