in custody pretty twenty-year-o girl.
who was arrested by Detective Painter this
morning on a charge of breaking and en-
tering and robbery. She is Eva Ash. the
daughter Of respectable parents. at No. %
Cedar Street. They are unable to control
the girl.
Miss Ash admitted to Detective Painter
and Chief OF Police Foster that she COM
mitted the robbery with which she is
charged simply because she wanted
money.
About ten days ago the house Of Charles
Frost, No. 420 Haddon Avenue was en-
tered through a cellar window, and by
chopping through the door leading to the
kitchen with an ak sum OF money and
jewelry valued at $40 were taken. This
was done during the absence Of the family.
Miss Ash had been a visitor to the house
previously. and because of her peculiar
actions she was suspected by Mr.. and Mrs.
Frost.
Detectives Painter and Hart had been
on the girls trail for a week. Several
times she was almost in the clutches of the
officers, but as they had a vague descrip-
tion Of her and she frequently changed her
costumes. apparently to disguise herself
she managed to elude arrest until this
morning. when Detective Painter ran
across her on Broadway and escorted her
to the City Hall.
Miss Ash readily answered the officers
questions, and in addition to admitting the
robbery Of the Frost oHuse she told where
she had pawned the stolen jewelry. wheth-
er or not she has been implicated in other
robberies in the city is not known, but the
police intimated this afternoon that other
similar acts may be laid at her door.

IInnginary Peril.
From the Detroit Free Prcss.)

From the Detroit Frce Press
Mrs. Rounder had insisted that her hus-
band should buy dog. Rounder did not
like the idea, having grave doubts Of the
| advisability Of having savage brute
around. But Mrs. Rounder said that she
would feel safer when Mr.. Rounder was
detained late downtown on important
business if there was good dog about; SO
Rounder yielded and the dog was bought.
That night when Rounder with uncertain
steps made his way home he was con-
fronted by the spectacle OF the new dog
barring the way to the front door. Round
er. who had no use for dogs, paused upon
the first step, uncertain what to do.
Good dog, nice doggy" he cooed per-
suasively in a thick voice
But the dog showed no signs of friendli-
ness, and Rounder took new track.
Its all RI OIL man. I'm yer daddy. I'm
the OIL man. That's III. You know me.

Still the dog showed no sign that he rec

brain that the last car had left for down.

the dog or camping out for the rest of the
night.
"Bloomin' outrage" he mumb!ed to him
self. My house, my dog. I'll kick the
stuffin' out of him IL he doesn't acknowI-
edge the fac pretty SOON
Suddenly he was seized with a bright
idea. He would find a policeman and get
him to kill the brute.
Rounder walked four times around the
block before he was rewarded by finding
an officer to pour out his tale of woe to-:
Officer" he mumbled thickly, lawful

When the officer finally grasped the sit

led him home Taking one look at the OBJ
ject that was keeping Rounder from the
bosom Of his family the officer kicked it
aside and told Rounder to go in and keep
quiet.

A Fish Story.

(From the Detroit Free Press)
, The breaking up of winter has started
the conversation toward the delights of
fishing and that reminded one of the par
ty Of story.

a large trout that had its lair under one
of the overhansing banks.
Il was under my fathers eye for six
days in the week. and knew it would be
useless for me TO ask him to let me fish
for the trout, SO / resolved to slip away
from church the following Sunday and
trust to luck that my absence would not be
noticed by the old gentleman.

same each year. 1t is possible to predict
with something like accuracy the number
of deaths by different diseases and by ac-
cident. and even in the case of so appar
emily an arbitrary thing as suicide, when
dealing with large body of people. Yet
1898 inflicted on a large part of the East
ern section of this country storm that
had no rival for eleven years. 1t involved
great loss of life and in particular the de-
struction of a Boston and Portland steamer
with every soul on board. The year was
notable too. for the death of Gladstone
and Bismarck, two of the most conspicu-
Gus statesmen Europe ever produced.
From a hurried glance at the events Of
1898 it is possible to forecast something rs
to the year on which we have just entered
There is unusual prosperity in this coun-
try, owing to the great extension OF our
foreign markets and in spite of the narrow
policy of protection. If there is wisdom
in the administration of our new posses
sions our prosperity wifi be greatly in
creased. Above everything, We enter on
the new year with revived spirit OF
Americanism that gives to US higher
national ideal than we have ever held. 1t
is with every prospect of its realization
that The Times wishes TO its readers
a Happy New Year! .4..

Certain Types of Folly.

State Factory Inspector Campbell. OF Pennsyl.

Whether this be so or not-and the idea
is certainly not an impossible one-the
mere suggestion should set people think
ing of the responsibility of the public in
allowing sweat-shops to be conducted at
all. If there is any one thing of which
we are more and more cognizant in this
nineteenth century it is the essential unity
of the human race. No man can hurt an
other without hurting himself. No man
can sit supinely by and see another un-
