BEFORE BREAKFAST. s,

There is not such great inCongruity be-
tween u fashionable tea and a supper at
the Young Women's Christian association,
and still description of those pleasant
affairs would sound better If given
straight and not mixed. To be sure it
wasn't as unfortunate as If the mixture
had been made up of prize fight and the
Young Women's Christian association or
a fashionable tea and a report of police
court matinee, but 1T may be well to le-
mark that something happened to the ac-
count Of both Mrs McGowan's tea and
the Young Women's Christian association
supper or that they became inextricably
entangled in yesterdays paper. The
Young Women's Christian associat ton
supper, the success OF which was largely
due 20 the able direction of Miss Emeline
Richmond, nettcd the association about
$50. 1t is to be hoped that the organlza-
lion will not feel satisfied with this re-
suit as to omit the annual dinner which
has become such a feature in our city.
The art exhibition announced to be
given under the auspices of the ladies Of
the Penn Avenue Baptist chuhch has been
postponed until January owing TO the
impossIbillty of securing the drawings. 1t
is to be hoped that this unique entertain
ment will be secured as promised for it
will certainly be one TO attract much at

CHARGE OF EXTORTION.
Alderman Kelly of the Eighteenth Ward
Will Have 10 Answer Ii
at Court.

Alderman John T. Kelley, Of the
Eighteenth ward. last night was held
under 5000 bail on Il charge of eXtor-
tion, preferred by John Martin. The
bail was furnished.
Kelly was given a hearing at 40
o'clock. Alderman Howe called upon
Martin, the prosecutor, to repeat the
charges made in the information
against Kelley.
Martin did so. stating that at case
before Alderman Kelley on the night
of Sept. II, he was compelled to pay
$S.4j as costs. This sum is more than
twice as much as the costs allowed to
an alderman by law. Martin swore to
this fact on oath.
Alderman Howe, when Martin had
concluded, brusquely said: alderman
Kelley will hold you for court in the
sum of $500" Kelley protested Vigor
ously. He wanted to be heard he
wanted to make a defense, he could
clear himself, he said. Alderman Howe
drew his attention to the fact that
case can not he tried" in an alder
mans court. "The court is the place
to do that" said Alderman Howe.
Alderman Kelley then attempted to
have the case reopened. This privi-
lege, also, was denied him. After the
hearing Alderman Kelley to a Tribune
reporter said: II can explain every
item of those costs"

Mary JOscn, the young woman VINO
was adjudged to be insane by the poor
board physicians, Tuesday, made an
attempt to cut her throat with table
knife in the police station yesterday.
She was prevented by the quick action
of PatrOlman John Hawks.
The woman was to have been sent to
Hillside Home yesterday, but her de-
parture was delayed until today. Dur

Of the time and at 4.3O o'clock yester-
day afternoon she had become desper-
ate from constant grieving.
Patrolman Hawks. acting desk SER
geant, heard a peculiar noise and upon
going to the cell where the JOsen wo-
man was imprisoned saw her with a
table knife in her hand. She was NUT
tering to herself: "Thcy shan't take
me; I'll go back to Johnson's and stay
there; they shan't, I'll kill myself"
The policeman, taking in the situa-
tion at a glance, quickly reached
through the iron bars and grasped the
knife lust as the woman pressed it
against her throat.
The blade was dun and fortunately
no wound was made. After a brief
struggle the knife was secured.
The woman had evidently stolen the
Knife when she was given her dinner
yesterday, with the intention of using
it in the way which was frustrated.

William Wright, "A young man who
collects toll at the entrance to the
Elmhurst boulevard, appeared at police
headquarters at O'Clock yesterday
morning and exhibited a wound in his
right leg. He said that while entering
the toll house at late hour Tuesday
night he was shot at by an unknown
man and the ball entered his leg.
Wright was taken to the Lackawan-
ma hospital where the bullet, 3S calibre,
was extracted from it's lodging place
under the Cuticlc on the side opposite
10 the calf Of the leg where the ball
entered.
Wright i'm his story to Chief of Police
ROhlng said he was in the central city
until 1915 o'clock Tuesday night and
upon reaching the toll house discover
cd the door open. He stepped partly
into the little room when he heard in
a commanding voice, Hold up your
hands!" and saw a dark object in a
far corner
Wright had his revolver ready for
Just such an emergency and fired one
shot at the object. The burglar or
tramp, which ever he was, returned the
fire and Wright felt the sting of a
bullet in his leg. In the confusion the
man escaped. Wright claims that this
happened at about II o'clock.
Why he did not seek immediate medi-
cal assistance or report the case to
the police before six hours had passed
Wright did not explain.
Chief Robling upon hearing the story
dispatched Patrolmen McMullen and
Feensy to the toll house. They found
the interior of the house marked with
blood stains; the furniture was all
tumbled about and everything pointed
to n struggle of some kind.
Mounted Officer Dyer also made an
investigation yesterday afternoon and
discovered what appeared to be blood
stains on the road. The stains led to
the woods but could not be traced fur

This creates the supposition that
Wrights shot was effective how much
so cannot be stated. The police are
trying to find Wrights assailant.
