collateral but Susie, being without means

about . o'clock when a policeman on his
way to the ice water tank discovered the
girl hanging from the grating. She had
taken Off her stockings and made a moose
of them. The weight of her body. frightened
the moose about her neck, and had she been
permitted to remain there a few minutes
longer she would now have been the occu-
pant Of something worse than prison cell.
DIR. NEWT happened to be at the station,
and he applied restoratives. When the
VIC man had recovered from the effects Of
the shock she was put back in the cell.
But she was still so dissatisfied with her
lot in life that she removed a steel from
her corset and was putting an edge on 1t

prived her of her corset and put her in a
witness room, where she could not harm

A Growing Nuisance.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The residents In the neighborhood of the
Northern Liberty Market are much incon-
Venienced by the enormous amount of SCOT
flying in the air, soiling clothes and enter
ing the windows of houses necessarily open
these hot days to get fresh and cool air
rms inconvenience is caused by the use of
bituminous coal at the plant of the Purity
Ice Company. 1t is hoped that The Star,
which is always to the front in the best in
terests of our healthful and beautiful city
will lerd its efforts to abate this nuisance
which If allowed to exist will surely grow
and in time return US to the condition of
Pittsburg and other cities using soft coal.
