ing them
Monday evening Mr.. Townsend. who has kept
a pretty close watch upon his poultry house since
his loss OF half a hundred lne ducks short time
ago. heard a noise in the poultry yard. and. armed
with a shotgun went to investigate. He saw man
in the yard among the poultry. and raising the
gun. cried
Throw UP your hands,"
The would-be thief slowly walked toward the
farmer with his ha Ids held above his head. Mr.
Townsend recognized the man, and then marched
him to the house for the purpose Of having him
identified by the members Of the family. The
man begged TO be released, and said he only
trying TO get something for his family Mr. Town
sends heart was touched by the mans pleas for
mercy, and ne finally released him with the warn
ing that IL he was ever caught again he would be
prosecuted for Monday nights attempt.
Mr. Townsend the l investigated the mans story
and found It true Mr.. Townsend then showed his
generosity by sending the mans family a barrel

Tammany politicians who were amazed at the
audacity Of Chief OF Police Deverys proposition to

a proposition TO have the city buy the Central
Opera House. at Thrd-ave. and Sixty-seventh-st.
and that into a Police Headquarters For the
latter proposition. the Tammany politicians say.
there is good reason. The Central Opera House
has proved losing venture and IS elephant on
the hands Of Jacob Rupert, the brewer. who is
friend OF Tammany and Of Richard Croker.
Even that argument has not convinced Chief
Devery that he was wrong in wanting the Madison
Square Garden. lie declares tina: II the city can
buy 10000 armory for a regiment OF militia II
can AFFORD 10 spend few millions for q new head
quarters for the police. At the same time other
people Of the city are declaring that the Central
Office. in Mulberry-st., is adequate for the use
OF the Chief and OF the Police Board and that the
Police Department needs better chiefs more than
II needs palace for headQuarters purposes.
