Tramp Steals a Railroad.

New Haven't Conn.,, Oct. 24.-Farmers
along the line Of the abandoned Meridian,
Waterbury and Connecticut River Rail-
road have been victimized by tramp
under peculiar circumstances. He stop
ped at nearly every house along the road
and told this story:
"My employer Judge Robertson, sent
me from his New Haven Office to close
up the affairs of the road. As the land
through which the road runs reverts to
the persons who owned it prior to the
tracks being laid, Judge Robertson is dis
posing of all the passenger stat ions
pumping stations, tanks, railroad ties,
&c.
The Judge is anxious to sell off these
cncumbrances as soon as possible, so
that the land can be titled once more in
all its verdant freshness"
The man "sold" over 81, 900 worth of
property to Herr Mischler for 81 OH ac-
count, with railroad ties thrown in. At
West Cheshire he offered to sell the
depot for $780, dropped to IS and accept
ed 81 from confding victim. In each
case the tramp signed receipts for the
money.

BOGUS LABOR STATISTICS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-In the next
bulletin issued by the Commissioner OF
Labor, Carroll d. Wright, official notice
will be taken of spurious statistics which
haze been sent broadcast through the
press Of the country purporting to come
from the Commissioner Of Labor.
The most recent instance is that of a
table tending to prove there have been
fewer striks during times OF panic than
when the country was most prosperous.
Mr.. Wright says he never issued any
thing that could be distorted into figures
bearing upon the particular subject.
"Men of prominence" he says, "who
ought to be careful how they handle
figures, make the most reckless state
ments, based IL pom alleged statistical in
formation from this bureau. When Coin
Harvey of Chicago issued his Financial
School he quoted the Commissioner Of
Labor rs saying that there were 1900, 900
of unemployed men in the country. I
wrote him polite note and requested
him to point out to me where in any Of
our bulletins we had ever made such a
statement. He replied that before writ
ing his book he consulted Mr.. Debs, to
refresh his memory on that point, and
Mr.. Dcbs had told him that the Com
missioner of Labor had made such
statement That was all the foundation
Coin Harvey had for ascribing those
figures to me-"

Child Falls Three Stories,

New York, Oct. 24.-Pedestrians in
East One Hundred and Sixteenth street
were Mortified to-day about noon to sec
little Edna Irwin, two years old, who
lives with her mother at 3Ol, that street,
leaning out of third story window,
laughing gleefully, and trying to see the
bottom of the window sill. Each mo.
ment the crowd of anxious watchers ex-
pected to see her tumble, and no one
dared to shout for fear the child would
let 60 her hold. All seemed too panic
! stricken to rush upstairs until Patrolman
Okeefe of the East One Hundred and
Twenty-sixth street Police Station ar
rived at the outskirts of the crowd.
Quickly he realized the child's danger,
and he soon was performing wonderful
feats OF agitity-dashing up thestairs. He
was too late, as the babe fell.
A groan arose from the throats of the
crowd, but two brothers, Ralph L.
Hardter, of 31s East Twenty y-fifth street,
and Edward W. Hardter, of 4l5 East
Eighteenth street, both members Of the
Volunteer Life Savings Corps of New
York City, joined hands beneath the
falling child and caught her as in bas-
ket. They set her upon the pavement,
and she, after recovering her breath,
smiled and asked "Is You my papa?"
Then the crowd cheecd the brothers,
while an ambulance surgeon examined
the babe. He recommended spanking
as a warning to the child not to go near
the window again, and Patrolman
OKeefc, who stood by literally blubter-
ing like big schoolboy for very joy,
picked Edna mp and restored her to her
mother.

Especial to THE SUM

DOVER, Oct. 23.-
The assertion has been made and print
ed that Colonel Ezekiel Cooper, formerly
Of Dover, had gone to Honolulu, at the
invitation OF the Hawaiian government
for the purpose of making report upon
the condition Of that country. Careful
and extended inquiry has developed the
fact that no such invitation was ever ex.
tended to Colonel Cooper. He has gone tc
Honolulu; but his mission there is under.
stood to be to meet John T. Boggs, form
erly teller of the First National Bank OF
Dover, who fled some months ago, taking
with him practically all the then available
assets of the bank. What negotiations
may take place between Mr.. Boggs and
Col. Cooper cannot be definitely stated,
but it is likely that the Colonel will en-
deavor to induce Boggs to make partial
restitution Of the funds which he misap-
propriated.
Whisperings to this effect have been
rife here for some time. 1t was consid-
cred remarkable that neither the bank
authorities nor theFederal officials ap-
peared tomake any effort to secure Boggs
arrest. From this it was but step to the
assertion that his arrest was not desired
Whether this was the fact cannot be
stated positively; but the indications
point to its truth.
Colonel Cooper had scarcely assumed
editorial charge of the Milford Herald,
than the announcement came that he
had been invited to go to Hawaii. The
improbability of such an invitation being
extended to him (or any one else) was
apparent on its face Coming as it did,
it at once gave rise to suspicion and in
quiry, as is stated above, showed that
the Hawaiian government had never in
vited Cooper, and, indeed, was quite un-
aware of his existence.
Boggs' whereabouts since he dccamred
with $4,000 of the funds OF tlR First
National Bank have been an absolute
mystery. The particulars of his defaca-
ton, were, moreover, obscured by con-
Trajectory published statements. Enough
is known as to the facts preceding his
departure to justify the assertion that
influence in high quarters was enlisted in
order that the after might be dropped.
Had the clues to Boggs' associates and
those who profted by his crimes and
shared in his stealings been followed up
they would have led to the punishment
of parties whose names have been care
fully kept secret. These clues were so
wcll-known to all interested persons that
it was considered strange that nothing
came of them. Just what the net result
of Col. Cooper's present mission may be
is beyond conjecture.

Church Notes.

The Improvements now under way in
the church Of the Sacred Heart are max
ing it one of our most beautiful churches.
As one enters the door, an inscription
on the ceiling meets the eye: "Hnc est
Domus Del" Needless words. The very
walls tell that this is truly the "house of
God.' Directly behind the large altar is
a representation of the Crucifiction, and
to the right of this Christ in Gethsemane
is painted. On the left the Resurrection
appears, and behind each of the smaller
affairs in the sructuary is an appropriate
representation. The three letters, HIS,
are inscribed on the ceiling from the
centre of which the land is suspended.
Behind and above the statue of the
Mother of God is Il painting of heart
encircled by roses, the one above St.
Joscph's altar is eucircled with the
crown of thorns pierced with spear and
surmounted by cross. The decoration
is in excellent taste and makes trip to
see it quite well worth the trouble.
About the church and sanctuary bene-
diction services are conducted every Sun
day afternoon at st. Anne's Church for
the Sunday School children.
Rev. D. J. Flynn, D. D., pastor of st.
Patricks Church has been spending the
past week among the students of Epiph-
any College, where he conducted a re-
treat.
Perhaps the finest voices of our city are
to be found among the choir of st. Anne's
Church, Gilpin avenue and Union street.
Among the sopranos, Miss Elizabeth A.
Bacon and Miss Annie Dougherty rank
with the best. Miss Rohr deserves spe-
cial mention and Miss Annie Eastburn
sings an excellent alto. Miss Magill has
her former place at the organ. The chior
is directed by Mr.. James Ward, the Lead
ing terror of Wilmington.
A new statue has replaced the broken
one over Father Mayors grave in the
Sacred Heart Church. It represents
Christ bearing golden cross on which il
placed the martyrs badge.
Every evening throughout the month
Of October st. Anne's Church has rosry
and benediction ervices.
The coming entertainment for the
benefit Of St. Joseph's Home for colorel
orphans, will be given in the Open
House, November 4, by St. Pauls Liter
ary Society, of Philadelphia. The
tickets were printed by the children Of
The Industrial School at Clayton, found
I'd by the late Father DeRuyter and are
'old ut 35 cents. Reserved seats may be
obtained for 10 cents extra after Noyem-
oer 2. The entertainment, under the able
direction of the Rev. Father Sice pro-
nises to be very interesting. A footnote
III the ticket states that 'the absolute
wants Of the Home necessitate this an
