MISS EFFIE'S STAR ROUTE.
Belle of Port Washington Gets Mail
Contract

New York, March 26.-Miss Fife
Croker, who is % years old, splendidly
healthy vivacious as a girl of Is, and
fond of athletics, has captured the con-
tract for carrying the mail from Great
Neck, l.. l., around Manhasset Bay,
through the village of Manhasset, to
Port Washington.
She was the happiest girl on Long Is
land last night, when the news reached
her that she had won in competition
with Ed Baxter, who has carried the
mail for II years successfully, and alto
gether for % years.
She must drive from Port Washington
to Great Neck, a distance of five miles,
and back twice every day, except Sun
day, a total ride of 20 miles per day, in
every sort of weather over road that
is not ideal.
The mail is quite heavy, as in it are
the letters for a large area of country
to which the railroads do not reach
Several smaller routes connect with it,
the mail for which Miss Croker must
bring from Great Neck in her wagon.
The outdoor work just suits her, and,
she says, she has no fear of anyone try
ing to interfere with her, as she consid-
erS herself more BILE to guard the mail
than the present carrier.

ANDITMADE LOTS OF COSTS
Which of Course was the Chief End in

About ten days ago Albert Barton,
state house messenger under Governor
Morrill,, and r. w. Lichey, another col
ored man, who worked as janitor at the
house of representatives during the ses-
sion of the legislature had a dispute
over bill in BartOn's restaurant on
Kansas avenue and the next day Bar
ton swore out a complaint against
Lichey charging him with disturbing
the peace. BY that time, however
Lichey had left for his home in GaIena,
Kan, and Constable Williams, who was
given the warrant simply placed it in
his inside pocket with the expectation
of being able to serve it at some future
time.
But the other day Williams found
that John WiIkerson intended to make
a trip through the southern part of the
state, and he asked the sheriff if he
would serve the paper. Wilkerson was
in an accommodating mood and said
he would, and so when he returned to
Topeka yesterday afternoon Lichey re-
turned with him. He had preliminary
hearing before Judge Furry yesterday,
and was bound over in the sum of 500,
but bond in this amount he was I'M
able to secure. He will be tried Mon

JOE JEFFERsON'S REASON.
The Noted Actor Tells Why He is
Against the Syndicate.

New York, March 26.-The New York
Herald prints the following from Joe"
Jefferson, dated New Orleans, in which
city Mr.. Jefferson is now playing:
In reply to the two statements you
have wired me relative to the theatrical
syndicate, I would say that it's claims
setting forth its object of booking all
attractions for an entire season from
one headquarters SO as not to conflict
with each other, is excellent, and, fur
Their, to prevent the practice of double
dealing-that is, of asking one manager
to keep a date open so that the at
traction might hold it over the head of
another for the purpose of bringing
that other to terms-iS also quite
proper.
such a course is decidedly unfair to
the manager and should be checked
These, I understand, are the ostensible
objects of the syndicate. But do its
intentions terminate here? think not.
Now let us examine the statements
made against the syndicate.
1T is advanced that the combination
gives great power to managers, and will
enable them to crowd some of the COM
panies off the entire list of houses, by
refusing their terms, and thus assum-
ing the nature of a trust. In reply to
this second statement, 1 will only give
my own experience, and not that of
others.
The first that I heard of theatre
cal syndicate was a letter from one of
it's leading managers, desiring me to
play at one of it's theaters. At the
same time I got a letter from an anti
syndicate manager trusting that L
would not join the new combine, which
he deprecated as an unfair movement,
and asking me not to desert his house.
l declined the offer of the syndicate
manager and acted with my old one.
Another old manager from one of the
anti-Syndicate theaters wrote me in the
same strain and asked my advice as
to how he should act to protect himself
against the octopus which was gradu-
ally coiling himself around the old le-
ultimate manager.
Il was about to reply and to encOur-
age him to meet the matter boldly, and
that 1 would stand by him, when to my
surprise l found that both of the old
managers had joined the octopus 1
don't blame them for this, as L have no
doubt that they combined with the new
departure to save themselves, but this
certainly seems to me to be the attitude
of a trust
81 am not as familiar with theatrical
matters as 7 used to be, acting but lit
tie nowadays. 1t is quite likely, there
FORE that my opinion is of little value.
but as you have desired it, 1 can only
say that 1 am conservative and old
fashioned enough to believe that the
syndicate will likely have it in its power
to dictate both terms and theaters to
the attractions, and so 1 do not approve
of it.
My advice, however, both to man
ayers and to actors, would be not to
fight, for, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger says,
It's a pretty quarrel as it stands. Ag-
erosion is a dOuble-edged sword and
cuts both ways. Faithfully yours,

HE FOUND A POCKETBOOK
And Spent the Money-He is Pardon
ed Out Of Prison.

Gov. Leedy has signed a communal
ton of penitentiary sentence which will
restore Claude L. Cooley to his liberty
at once. Cooley was under sentence for
three years for grand larceny and is re-
leased because his mother is destitute.
Cooley was sent to the penitentiary
from Nemaha county in September,
1895. He had been driven from home
by a drunken, worthless tsepfather
and was fortunate in securing employ
ment at a neighboring town. He later
went to Centralia and was given a
place as porter in a hotel. While sweep
ing the floor one day he found a pock-
etbook containing $45, which he turned
over to friend. The latter kept $40.
returning the balance to Cooley after
search for the money had been given
up. He went home to Gaylord, Kan,
and purchased new clothes, making 9TH
er expenditures which excited suspic-
ion. He was arrested for stealing the
money and convicted of grand larceny
Now his mother is destitute and al
most homeless with mo one to provide
for her in any manner. The young man
has served one year and a half in the
