SHE WAS SELLING LACE.
Heinous Crime of an Elderly Woman
Arrested Yesterday.

A neatly dressed old lady in the
neighborhood of sixty-five years, was
brought to the central station yester-
day. afternoon. She was taken in GUS
tody by Patro1man McFIale, of the
Rondo street district, and was charged
with peddling without license. The
officer saw the woman going from
house to house on Dayton avenue, with
a small black valise, and stopped her
to find out what she was doing. She
said she was selling lace, and as she
had no license, she was taken to the
Rondo street station. Captain Lowell
had her sent to the central station, as a
few weeks ago a number of persons
had been given the worst Of a bargain,
by an old lady who had sold them lot
Of lace which turned out to be not the
genuine article.
Arthur B. Driscoll, whose family was
sailed to the tune Of $50, for lot Of
cheap lace worth about one-tenth of
that sum a few weeks ago, called at
the station, but stated the prisoner was
not the one who had done business with
his family.
The old lady said her name was Mary
Smith, that she was a widow of small
means and lived at Anoka. She had
been selling lace around st. Paul and
Minneapolis for some time, but did not
dispose of her goods under any false
pretenses. In the valise which she car
ried was seventy five pieces of lace of
all kinds and qualities. She was turned
over to the matron at the central sta
ton and Chief Of Detectives SchweitZer
requests all persons who have been
victimized to call and have a look at
the lace vendor.

AND SHE SUSPECTS THAT HENRY

THE CITY,

POLICE
ly Looked for In Various
Cities.


The detectives are looking for Henry
Austin, a lad Of sixteen, who is be-
lieved to have stolen $500 in cash yes
terday, and a note for 1000 from his
aunt and then skipped out. The boy
whose mother lives at 461 Selby ave-
nue., has been stopping with his aunt,
Mrs. Maggie Waters, at Gladstone, for
the past few weeks. The husband Of
Mrs. Waters had secured Henry place
in the Harvester works, and the boy
was to commence work today. Instead,
1t seems that Henry decided that he
would rather travel and see the coun-
try, and while his aunt was out Of the
house for few moments he searched
the dresser and finding the money and
a note for 81 900, took the same and de-
camped. Mrs. Waters in reporting the
case to Chief Schweitzer yesterday,
said the money had been paid to her,
and that she had intended to bank it
tomorrow. She was suspicious that her
nephew was up to some mischief, for
he had been too good for any use
Thursday afternoon ard yesterday
morning. The boy is supposed to have
left the city in company with col
ored boy of about the same age. The
police at Minneapolis were notified to

CHANCE FoRBTHEIR LIVES.
Dogs Are Safe Until a New Ordi-
nancersPassea.

Though the mayor has appointed the
dog catchers, they Twill not begin their
crusade against the dogs for a day or
two, or possibly three. The reason Of
this is the discovery of an omission or
defect in the ordinance regulating the
licensing of dogs 5and the disposition
of unlicensed dogs.9 No provision seems
to have been madefor the drowning or
destruction of unlicensed dogs whose
owners fail to redeem and license them
within a certain time after capture
Neither does the ordinance clothe the
dog catchers with 1.-The rights and
powers that they think they ought to
possess in order te effectua1ly perform
their duties. Though the ordinance pro-
vides a penalty for the owners of
dog who refuses to procure license
for the animal and who also secrets
him and declines to yield possession of
him, still it does not authorize dog
catcher to venture upon the owners
yard or land for the purpose Of Selling
his unlicensed dog. 1sE 5s-sselsss4
For these reasons, the mayor has
issued no instructions to- the dog
catchers and the whole matter will be
s'held up" perhaps until the ordinance
is amended. The mayor wishes it to
be clearly understood, however, that
his appointments of the dog catchers
and helpers are final and will not be
reconsidered. tea

sHoGREN ON THE CARPEA.
Mayor Doran Stands by One of His,
New Appointments.

Patrolman Shogren, one of Mayor
Doran's appointees, appeared before
his honor yesterday to answer to a
complaint filed by Samuel Lifpitz the
keeper Of a secondhand store on East
Seventh street. 1t appears that two
or three days ago Officer Shogren ar
rested Lifpitz, and a young man, with
whom he was having an alteration in
the vicinity of Lifpitz's store. Lifpitz
was subsequently fined S. in the
municipal court. His charge against
the officer was that the latter, in plac-
ing him under arrest told him that he
had it in for him"-Lifpitz-and re-
fused to allow him to lock up his store
but bundled him into the patrol wagon.
which hurried him off, while his shop
remained open. When Mr.. Lifpitz was
released from custody, he says that up
on returning to his store, he discovered
that the sum of $36 was missing.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon,
the mayor dismissed the charge against
the officer as the testimony of Mr..
Lifpitz's witnesses failed to satisfy his
honor that officer Shogren had de-
clared that he had it in for Lifpitz
or that he acted wrongfully in making
the arrest.

BOLD STREET THIEF.
He Seizes a WOman's Money On
High Bridge.

Mrs Christensen, living at 881 Otto
avenue, had her purse grabbed by a
thief on the Smith avenue bridge yes
terday morning at o'clock. Mrs
Christensen, who was on her way to
visit a friend on the West side, had her
money, about $3.50, in small hand bag
which hung on her wrist. She had gone
but little way from the end Of the
bridge when a young fellow stepped
from behind her and grabbing the bag
made a run with it.. Mrs. Christensen
was so surprised by the boldness of
the thief that for moment she did
nothing. AS soon as she recovered her
c6mposure she cried out and started
in the direction the thief had taken.
She drew a crowd in few minutes,
but the fellow had made his escape.
An hour or SO later Patrolman Mar
kie arrested George Phillips as being
the one who had committed the rob-
berry. Phillips when arraigned in the
police court, said he knew nothing Of
the charge against him. He had never

PROvIDENT SAVINGS SCHEME.
Local Associated Charities Consider
1t FavOrabIy.

The regular meeting Of the Associ-
ated Charities was held at it's office in
the New York Life building yesterday.
In prlet Secretary Jackson's report was
as follows: During the past three
months we were asked by - different
societies to make 1873 Investigations, as
against 141 Investigations for eight So
cieties for the corresponding period
last year. Sixty-one of the 1873 were
visited for the first time, and with few
exceptions they needed attention for
other reasons than simply the accidents
of sickness or lack of work.
This seems an opportune time to in
troduce the subject of Provident Saw
ings, /. e. the effective method of en-
couraging small savings by people of
meagre incomes. "In all communities
large part of the want and suffering
is the direct result of a waste Of small
sums in unnecessary expenditures. and
failure to provide by laying UP such
sums against a time Of need" At In
dianapolis Provident Savings was con-
sldered the most advanced step taken
by organized charities" There and
elsewhere it has accomplished much
In the development of self-respect and
independence, even revolutionizing
careless and improvident families.
These being among the results sought
by associated charities Provident Saw
ings are usually under their direction
and became important factors in rem
edlal and constructive work The best
results are obtained only when a COL
lector calls regularly at the homes for
the deposits Although many Of the
depositors have little to do with chart
table organizations, they are all so sit
uated as to be liable to need help over
q hard place
Improvidence lays such burden
upon every charity in the city as to
place serious responsibility upon the
Associated Charities, Provident Saw
ngs Is found to be an efficient means
for its milder forms. The collector of
these small savings receives a glad wei
come at hundreds Of homes, ana The
confidence that is established by regu-
lar business visits enables the devoted
collector to discern and council con-
corning social disorders which would
otherwise not reach sympathetic ears
until they assume the aggravated form
which they usually present when first
made known to charity workers IT
has been found that the work of friend
ly visitors and the provident savings
collector are mutually helpful. and the
successful establishment of the former
augurs well for the latter. The meth
DDS of this association have received
Endorsement of representatives from
our own and other countries. Just this
week there came a commentator from
South Australia This success NAV he
made more efficient by the adoption of
proYident savings.
Messrs. H. H. Hart and E. w. Peet
and Mrs. Higbee were appointed m

DAVE DRAWS A LINE
GOV. CLOUGH REFUSES TO STAND
FOR BANK-WRECKER KORT-
GAARD'S RELEASE.
HE DID NOT PARDON KRIsT.
THINKS THE BOARD OF PRISON
MANAGERS MAY HAVE PAR
DONED HIM.
STORY HURT HIS CAMPAIGN
Minneapolis Scandinavians Are Sore
On KOrtgaard and Do Not
Fancy His Release.

Gov. Clough is quite indignant at the
assertion made by Minneapolis even
ing paper with much display Thursday
night to the effect that he had secretly
pardoned Kristian Kortgaard, the
State bank breaker of Minneapolis,
who has just finished year in the
state prison at Saltwater.
Executive Clerk Angel yesterday au-
thorized the G l o b e,evidently speaking
ex cathedra, to state that Gov. Clough
had absolutely nothing to do with the
pardoning of Kortgaard, that he had
not signed any pardon, and as nearly
as could be figured out, If Kortgaard
is free, it must be by parole of the state
board of prison managers, which meets
periodically in Saltwater, and which
is appointed by the governor, but does
not seek his counsel in the matters of
prison routine.
That is as far as the official state
ment from the governors office per-
tains to the case.
Friends of the governor, however,
were less moderate in their expressions
and insisted that the Kortgaard arti-
Gle, which was made as sensational as
possible, and illustrated with a dou-
ble-column portrait, was purely piece
of aLti-Clough campaign thunder. They
pointed to the fact that not only in
the article was 1t directly stated that
1t was Clough who pardoned him, but
that this charge was also made in the
explanatory line that was run under
the conspicuous Illustration. They said
1t was on a par with the campaign
which the paper in question had waged
on the governor prior to the caucuses,
when it manifested its venom in col
umns of personal abuse and appeals to
local passions and prejudices, to defeat
Clough on the ground that ST. Paul and
Merriam favored him. The same men
who defended the governor so valiant
ly insisted that the publication was
damaging beyond a peradventure.
Among the depositors in Kortgaards
bank were hundreds of his countrymen
who lost all they had, and the feeling
against him ran very high. One year
has not been enough to drown this feel
ing, and the laying of his liberation at
Clough's door is hard blow especial
ly in Minneapolis, where the feeling is
most intense.
As far as the secrecy pertaining to
the release of Kortgaard is concerned, it
Is matter of common custom with
both the board of managers of the
prison and the board of managers Of
the reformatory to maintain strict Sc
crecy as to all paroles The state has
an agent to look after the prisoners
thus paroled, and the secrecy idea Is
based on the theory that the publica-
tion of the paroles would embarrass the
prisoners In their efforts to regain
their lost positions In society. Kort-
guards case, thus, was treated as are
all of them.

Globes Service Was Watched by
Hundreds All Day.
All day long and until the adjourn
ment of the evening session or the big
convention, the Clio b e. s compre-
hensive bulletins were surrounded by
an eager crowd Of anxious citizens, who
awaited the outcome Of the various
ballots. The experience Of the past few
days has shown that in handling the
excellent service given by the Western
Union and Associated Press In the line
of bulletins, of the conventions doings,
the G i o b e has been most quick
and aptest in the display of the events
that have been attracting the eyes of

During the taking Of the ballots, the
interest was especially strong at times
and the throng in the streets was so
great that the cable cars were COM
PEELED to run with extreme caution
through the crowds.
The nomination of Bryan was re-
ceived much as a matter Of course, the
general sentiment being, apparently,
that he would satisfy many who could
not accept Bland, and there was little
or no demonstration when his nomi-
nation was announced.

From Death.

Mamie Tones, g. six-year- girl,
was struck by an interurban car yes
terday morning near Kent street, but
miraculously escaped injury. The
child, who resides with her parents
at Charles and Kent streets, had ac-
ccmpanied her mother to University
avenue. She attempted to cross the
street and paid no attention to a car
which was approaching at good rate
of speed. The spectators and the
child's mother saw the danger the child
was in but were not able to do anything
but shrek The motoneer shut off the
current and put on the brakes, but had
it not been for the basket like guard
which is used in front of the car, the
child would have been frightfully in
jured, If not killed. AS it was, when
the car was brought to a standstill, the
little girl was found on the fender in
front Of the car a trif1e disfigured as
to dress, but otherwise uninjured.
