Detective Donnelly early yesterday morning arrested Morris Savelts and Jacob Caplin, two of the best known Hebrews living and doing business in the Oak street district, upon charges of theft of 300 pounds Of brass, the property of the Seymour Brass com pany, which is valued at SlOo.

 BROOM CORN SEED.
Tradition Says Franklin Planted the
 First one in This Country

Tradition Says Franklin Planted the
 First one in This Country.
 Every housewife is supposed to know how to handle broom, but it is safe to idea of what her sweeping utensil is made of, or how it is made, or where the material came from. Brooms are made from the heads or brushes of the broom corn, first cousin to our com mon field corn. And in this connection | is told a very pleasant little fairy story concerning Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard" by the way, seems to have been about the biggest jack-of-ail trades that ever helped the United | States to become the richest and most powerful nation of the world. If this story is true, he is the patron saint of the housewife and the broommaker. as well IS the kite-fyer, lightning catcher, printer, publisher, editor author, phil- osopher, statesman, and other things ''too numerous to mention"
 Broom corn first grew in India From | there IL WAS CdTIlcu lO GuiOpS' story goes that pr. Franklin was exam ming a whisk broom that had been brought over from England in the days before we had any broom corn Of our own. He found a single seed on the broom, picked it off, planted 1t an raised a stalk of corn from which IS descended, so to speak, all of the broom corn of the United States. However this may be, broom corn grows much like it's first cousin, our maize, which originated here. The head is larger, however, and the seeds grow on the head, instead of ir ears The heads are cut off, leaving about six inches ot stalk, and the seeds are scraped off oy a machine which does clean Job ana does not injure the broom. The seeds are valuable in way. They are fed to horses and poultry, and ground into meal for cattle Tn the making Of the brooms the corn is put around a handle 1 of basswood or soft maple turned in a l lathe. Each layer is wound tight with twine or wire until the desired size IS attained Tthe broom is then pressed out flat and sewed to keep it in shape. Whisk brooms are made in the same way.-The Buffalo Express.

A NEW SHORTHAND sYsTEM.

We are informed that Professor Adolf
 Dirr. an accomplished German scholar and linguist, has invented system or
 shorthand symbols which will enable
 stenosraphers to report in any one or
 alr of the chief European languages
 as readily and correctly as they can in
 their respective mother tongues. This
 system. upon which Professor Drr has
 been engaged for long time isexplain-
 ed in a volume which will probably be
 issued in a few weeks by Paris pup
 fisher
 Professor Dirr is a master or some
 thirty languages, Oriental included.
 His system has nothing whatever 10 do
 with "Volapuk," dismal fad, which also was made in Germany, but which the Professor has ridiculed. He has ad- yised all people in search of 'unlVer- sal lang,ages to learn English, and he has given his reasons. English litera- ture is the richest and greatest ln the world English is more generally spok-
 en than any other language since the mishap at Babel, it is the unlVersal language of commerce-1n the East ana Far East especially --and It IS spread ing with increasing rapidlty, so that YOU can't tell where it's going to stop Gf it ever does stop). All of which from so good an authority, is flatterng to the shy and retiring Briton. We may add that Professor Dirr is contemplate ing a linguistic and ethnological sur vey of the Caucasus-almost untrodden ground-the exploration of which would be the work of years.-London Daily News.

Light Work Done by the Yale Team
 Candidates Yesterday,
 The first real football practice or the season by candidates of the Yale team was held yesterday at the field. only twenty three players reported ana there were no graduate coachers on the field, all the instruction being given py Captain Mcbride After few minutes of warming up the tackles and guards were sent over to the tackling dummy Those who could punt the ball sens It down to the backs to give them practice in handling kicks and to practice the ends in getting down the field on punts. No hard tackling was done by the ends for fear of the dreaded early season in juries
 The backs were given some practice in starting quickly with the ball and in forming interference. To day the prac- tce will be held at 1 o'clock when doubtless larger number of candidates will report. No graduate coaches are expected to-day.
