THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE.A-WEEK EDITION. B
PRACTICALLY A.DAILY AT THE
PRICE OF A WEEKLY.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of The THRICE. A.
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kent its
subscribers informed of the progress
OF all our wars and, moreover, has re-
ported them as promptly and fully as
if it were daily. With our inter
ests still extending throughout the
world, with our troops operating ii
the Philippines, and the great Presi-
Dental campaign, too, at hand, its
value is further increased.
The motto of the TRIoE A. WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives
each year to be better than it was the
year before, and the public conf
dence in it is shown by the fact that
it now circulates more than twice as
many papers every week as any other
newspaper, not daily, published in
America.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and the KENTuoKIAN together one
year for $3.50.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is $500

Unique Somnambulism

One Of the most singular cases of
somnabulism that has for several days
mystifed the police of Allegheny City
has been cleared. One night. about
week ago, a number of wagons disap
peared from the stables of the O'Neil
company. From three to eight We
hicles would disappear at time, and
Eugene Spelch, driver, who slept in
the barn, was nearly distracted to
know how the vehicles could be re-
moved every night and he not catch
the intruder. The police were inter
ested in the matter, and the other
night two express wagons were found
standing block or two away, and an
other vehicle farther down the street.
Then there was seen coming a United
States mail wagon, drawn by Spelch.
Patrolman Shaw caught the half-ex-
hausted man and a struggle ensued.
Spelch finally relaxed his hold on the
policeman's throat, and, arising, said.
'Is that you, Shaw? Where am i? u
was sleeping" Spelch's words
cleared the mystery. Philadelphia

TWO CHICKS FROM SAME EGG
For Three Weeks They Were Fed
on Matted rlilk and Brandy.

A rather unusual sight was wit
messed recently during a visit to a
poultry farm near the Heart of the
c Commonwealth. Two chickens
from the same egg are here, and as
they have already lived five weeks
and are apparently as we'll as any
of the others, the chances are that
they will grow up and become
healthful members of poultry socie-
ty. The owner says he has already

BOSS OF CHICKEN THIEVES.
Owns up to Having Stolen II
600 Since the Beginning Of
Spring

The prize chicken thief, after
four months immunity from arrest,
has been caught in this city and
turned over to the authorities OF
Rockingham county, wherein most
of his depredations were committed.
He is 2l years old and his name is
Albert c. Smith. He says he never
stole chickens before this spring,
but according to his confession he
has done little else since. Assisted
by his brother, Albert dressed the
stolen fowls at their place at
Bunker Hill, in the town of Auburn,
and marketed them in this city.
Albert says he would take only the
choicest selections in henhouse.
Like some noted highwaymen,
Smith disdained to rob the poor and
confined his depreciation to the hen
roosts of the well-to-do. He and
his brother did not respect the
cloth, however, for amoug their vic
tins are clergvmen, deacons and
schoolmasters. They never robbed,
except after long intervals, in the
same place. When arrested Albert
told Deputy Chief Cassidy that if he
would let him go he would give him
5000. The deputy was not trading.
Smith had money with him. He
also had wagon load of fowls
which he was marketing, and the
low prices asked led the marketmen |
to suspect him and call the police.
Hildreth did the trick of
fooling Albert into making con-
or, as the police believe, a
partial confession, of what he had |
done in stealing poultry. The
roosts which he robbed are scat
tered over the towns of London
derry, Raymond, Derry, Auburn,
Chester, Gambia and Brentwood.
The victims number about forty
farmers or villagers and the num-
Der of chickens stolen and sold by
Smith and his brother foot up 1000,
a couple tons of poultry.
All these they have killed, dressed
and distributed among the markets
d Manchester.
Smith kept book telling where
he obtained the poultry and where
he disposed of it, and was other
wise methodical in his methods. |
How the precious pair managed to
make wholesale raids on fiocks as
noisy as hens without disturbing
the owners and how they Travelled
long distances in the country with
put exciting suspicion are mysteries
which Albert declined to explain.

Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1899-08-22

! received an offer Of SIS for the pair,
but prefers to keep the chickens.
His attention was called to them
first when he saw two bills trying
to break out through the shell. The
egg containing the twins was car
ried into the house, the shell was
carefully removed, and the two in
FAINT chickens were given their first
sight of the world. They were
wrapped up in cotton batting and
were placed in the oven of the kitchen
stove. and kept there for some time.
For the first three weeks they
were not allowed to go out of doors,
and were fed on matted milk and
brandy served to them from a
medicine dropper. The little fell
lows are now strong and able to
look after themselves, and run about
in a large yard with hundred or
more of their relatives.
One popularity about the chickens
which by the way, are of the varie-
ty known as Buff Brahmas, is their
extreme exclusiveness. They have
nothing whatever to do with the
others. and are constantly together.
Where one is seen. the other is sure
to be within foot or two of it. If
one OF them is picked up, or separat-
ed from the other, both start in call
ing to each other, and keep this up
until the one which has been taken
up is placed on the ground. Then
they Immediately 'join forces and
start off on foraging trip
The owner of this remarkable
pair of chickens says that he has
written to the publishers of two
poultry magazines, and has receiv-
ed word that he has been particu-
larly fortunate in keeping these
twins alive as long as he has. In
stances of two chickens from one
egg have been reported before, but
it has never been proved, so it is
said, that they lived more than |
seven or eight days.-Boston

HINT TO FRUGAL WIVES.
How Their Savings May Be Taken by
Their Husbands Creditors.

Economics effected by wives out of
? THEW housekeeping money" are not
: such common incidents of domestic
life that we can see them discouraged
by judicial decision without pang.
We could have wished, therefore, that
Commissioner Kerr had seen his way
to protect the savings of Mrs. Gillett,
the wife of defendant who appeared
before him, from the sweep of that
;mysteriously potent instrument OF
the acquistive creditor which is
known in the practice of the city Of
london court as "garnishee order"
A firm of auctioneers having obtained
"a judgment against Mr.. Gillett,
sought to attach" certain moneys
standing in his name in the books Of
lthe London, City, and Midland bank
in satisfaction of their claim. The
bank officials admitted that they had
ESQ in their hands belonging to the
defendant, but the latter contended
that the sum in question was not his,
but his wife's, who had managed, by
the exercise of much frugality, to save
at out of the housekeeping money,
and, not having anything else to do
with it, had asked her husband to
mind it for her"
It was while he was thus "minding
it" that the creditors above named OBJ
tanned their judgment against him,
and applied for its assignment to
them in liquidation of the debt. The
learned commissioner ruled that the
money was the husbands, and there
fore the garnishee proceedings must
succeed, which, of course, meant
judgment for the plaintiffs, With
costs. This decision, however cor
rect in law, is fraught, we fear, with
peril to the prosperity, if not the
peace, of the home. Either it will
deter wives from practicing the
virtue of frugality in the man
agement of their households, or
it will determine them never in future
to make their husbands their bankers;
and neither of these results is to be
welcomed. Or, what is, perhaps, a
still more probable consequence, it
will inspire the economical housewife
with heroic resolve not to bank her
savings at all. 1t is only too likely to
occur to her that if there is this dan
ger of her economies being brought
within the clutch of garnishee or
der, the garnishing had better begin
nearer home. She will feel that the
contents of newly stocked wardrobe
will, at any rate, be safe from her hus-
bands creditors, and her savings, in
stead of ''fructifying" in the marital
pocket, will be sunk in unproductive
expenditure upon hats and frocks.-

TRUSTS AND SOME PRICES.

In ANOTHER column will be found a let
ter from Mr.. A. w. Monroe, of Hamp-
ton, in which he gives few facts tend
ing to cheer up the gloomy view some
people are disposed to take of the trust
movement Mr.. Monroe writes in
manner that will appeal to people in
the connmonest walks of life. He dis
cusses subjects that are familiar to
every one, and his facts are repetitions
of experiences that have occurred in all
most every family.
AS MIR. Monroe points out there is lit
tie need of borrowing so much trouble
about the trust as many would have US
do. Hundreds of cases can be men
toned wherin the trust has reduced the
cost of commodities to the common peo-
pie and, as to the danger of great busi-
ness depression consequent upon the
collapse of these enterprises, let's not
worry about that Till we come to it. The
same effects would result from specu-
lative enterprises of any kind. If trust
is not an INSCRIPTIONS monopoly de-
irving unjust profits from the public,
but is simply combination of interests
for the reduction of the cost of pro-
duction, as the most of them are, let's
be tolerant in our judgment.

GOLF LESS FASHIONABLE

The writer of New York fashion
letter says that golf is on the decline
that is to say, as a fasllinonble amuse-
ment. Thousands more people are play
ing it than ever before, but they are not
the fashionab BILE crowd. The exclusives
are dropping it as they dropped the BIZ
cycle.
There is no doubt that golf is one of
the finest out-door exercises ever in
vented. 1t is not violent, but it requires
considerable patient work. and it keeps
people out in the open air for hours at
a time. IL Is also intensely interesting.
and thus furnishes the mental stimulus
needed to make athletic exercise bene-
fetal. Another merit is that 1t can be
played by the middle-aged and old as
we'll as by the young. But 1t seems
that all these advantages must succumb
to the dictate of Dame Fashion. When
golf was first introduced into this coun-
try 1t was taken up eagerly by the
fashionable crowd, because 1t was
known to be played by the European
aristocracy. In Europe the game can
be kept more exclusive by the so-called
upper classes, as it Is not easy for peo-
pie OF moderate means to get the large
area of land required on which to play
it: but In the United States there is land
galore. and almost any association can
establish golf links. Thus the non
Ifashionables have been drawn to take 1t
up on account OF its genuine merits.
and so the ultra-fashionables are drop
ping it.
This movement at present Ia more ap-
parent in the east, as golf has not been
established long enough in the west to
become very common. But there can be
no doubt that II the eastern "exclu-
sives" abandon the game our western
exclusives" will follow suit, and that
golf sooner or later will become merely
a plebeian amusement. This is sad. but
the 1plebes" will benefit in the matter

fashionables can seek out some other
novelty. a " ~.

WHERE THEY ARE VICIOUS.

We also give in another column of
of the trust problem, the one in which
the dreadful trust is all that the calam-
ity howlers claim for it, Here is a pow
erful organization of capital perfected
in the back room of Chicago bank to
control the manufacture OF gloves in
this country. They approach business
man in Grinnell, who by a lifetime OF
ceaseless labor has built up a prosper
Gus business, and ask 10 buy his fac
tory. He does not want to sell, but that
makes no difference. When he asked
what might happen if he refused to sell
he was told in a most significant way
that 1T would not be polite for them to
say" but the manufacturer knew that
with their twenty millions they could
control the supply of raw material and
freeze him out.
In most cases we believe that great
combinations of capital are formed for
the legitimate purposes of economical
production and their results are seldom
injurious to the people, but here is a
scheme the righteousness of which APP
pals a resident of a free country. II
their vicious plan works it will result
in arousing the people of that commu-
nifty, and through them and other com
munities similarly affected, to such a
point that this Industrial scourge will
be swept from the land. What we want
now is the man who will offer. us a rem
edy or a law that viii prevent such vi
cious abuse of the power of capital and
at the same time protect capital in all
legitimate enterprises.
