together.

was their fault for there was not a
thing to eat with the exception of
the light refreshments that came in
later in the evening"
1t would be well to give little ex-
planation of the menu. 1t was not a
feast of good things as is usually
meant but a feast of sensible enter
tainment, tastefully and carefully
prepared and presentedin most sat-
isfactory manner. The program is as
follows:

WOMAN ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
Mrs. Florence Whitney, Alias Casey

l Mrs. Florence Whitney, Alias Casey, Held for New York Authorities. woman who gives the name of Mrs. Florence Casey, but whose right name Is thought to be Mrs. Florence Wilson, was arrested last, night by Detectives McGrath and Daily on information re- ceived from Brighton, Monroe county, N. r., charging her with grand larceny. ! It seems that about a month and a half ago she was released from Jail In Springfield, where she had served a term from theft. About the same time
 a man named Harry Gift was released from jail after serving a term for burg lary, and he and the woman left Springfield together. Not long after she went to Brighton, N. Y, and under the name of Florence Whitney secured em- ployment in the family of Dr. J. F. Wheeler of that place. She had been
 employed at the Wheeler residence only a few days, when one morning she was missing, as was also nearly all the jew
 elry and silverware in the house. She could not be found in the place, but a
 warrant was issued for her charging her
 with grand larceny.
 The Brighton authorities suspected
 that she had come to this city, and sent
 to the local detectives her description and a New York warrant for her arrest.
 Yesterday morning Detective Captain CoWles and Detective McGrath arrested Casey, the man with whom she has been travelling around and whose right name is Harry Gift, on Court street. They questioned him about the woman, but he wouldn't tell where she was. He said that he came to New Haven alone and that he was staying at lodging house. The detectives later ascertained, however, that the couple came to this city together Saturday, and rented a room on Crown street.
 Last evening Detectives McGrath and Daly found her at Savin Rock, and plac- ed her under arrest. The Brighton, N. Y, authorities will be notified at once, and Gift, alias Casey, will be held un- der the charge of idleness until more is learned concerning him. He pre- tends to be prize fighter, but the police think that both he and the woman are professional thieves. He is about feet inches in height, and is smooth faced.
 The value of the articles which the woman is charged with having stolen in New York state is about $520 A de- scription of the stolen stuff was sent to the local detectives, and last evening when the room of the couple on lower Crown street was searched some articles corresponding to the description of some in the lot stolen were found. The woman's home is in Springfield or AgoWan, suburb of that city and her mother, Mrs. Alice Seymore, lives there. She also has a son about six years old, who lives with her mother in Spring field. The police have information to the effect that few years ago she mar ried contractor named Harry Wilson of Jersey City. It is thought that she and Harry Gift are wanted in Philadel- phia for theft

ADDRESSED BY BOER ENVOYS
Continued from First Page.)

We are doing the fighting in the re-
 publics," he said and we have kind 1 friends in America who will do the
 speaking for us"
 | MT Wolmarans who spoke in Dutch,
 said to the audience that while the en- voys did expect to be sympathetieally l received in this country, yet they did not anticipate that they would receive such a strong welcome as had been 1 shown to them in New York city and the capital of the nation. He knew however, it could not be different be-
 cause the people of this country have the same love of liberty and sense of
 justice that the Boers had, and their sympathy would be a help to them in
 their struggle.
 The speech of Senator Wellington,
 which came next, bristled with patriotic
 utterances and was cheered to the echo
 by the audience. The senator said that
 as Americans we had always held that all men were entitled alike to life, lib-
 erty and the pursuit of happiness. If this was was true in America, he asked,
 why not also in South Africa? Some one in the audience asked, Why not the Philippines also?" to which the sen- ator nodded his assent. He wished God speed to the envoys in their mission and success to their cause. He went on to gay that England had been our enemy at Bunker Hill, Yorktown, New Or leans and in the civil war, and she made an alliance with the enemy. England was no more our friend to-day than she was a hundred years ago. We had grown strong and mighty, he continued, and he ventured to say that there would be no more attacks by England on this country. In the course of his address he paid beautiful tribute to Abraham Lincoln and declared that England had not produced since the days of Crom- well statesman that compared with Lincoln. The senator expressed the opinion that it was reserved for the Boer and the burgher to obtain the very sublimity of moral and physical cour- age. Shall you and I, enjoying the full heritage of liberty" he asked, mot give them aid? I will"
 He predicted in closing, that no mat ter what might be the result of the dip lomatic mission of the envoys our gov ernment could not long stand in oppo- sition to the manifestations of sympathy expressed by the people for the Boers.
 Mrs Lamb here recited the spirit of '76 and presented an American flag to Mrs Fischer wife of one of the dele gates after Bourke Cochran of New York delivered an address He spoke for over half an hour. His address was a effort, touching upon the Mon- roe doctrine, the character of the Boers and a review of features of English af- fairs. He strongly advocated upholding the Monroe doctrine, recalling Secre- tary Roots words that We must be l

The Young Man Gazed Upon 1t and the Girl Gazed, Too.
 He was arrayed in all his spring fin- cry, quite perfect and irreproachable the crown of his shiny hat. He stood in front of the florists window and seemed lost in sad contemplation Two girls of the ice cream soda age were gazing into the opposite window at the azaleas and jonquils, wondering if they could invest in box of hyacinths without the sacrifice of all of next weeks candy money. Suddenly one of them nudged the other: Flow sad he looks!' she said Maybe he has no sweetheart to send violets to-" At this absurd idea the other maiden giggled. More likely he hasn't any money to buy them with" she filtered. Those tailorified men often have nothing but clothes. My sister saves so. She says they spend all the money that ought to go on flowers and candy on gloves and ties for themselves. Just look at his gloves" The more sentimental girl peeped carefully across an area of daffodils and ferns and primroses to where the sad-faoed youth was stand~ ing
 He had ceased his pensive contempla- tion of the flowers and was gazing in- tently at something which he held in the palm of his graygloved hand. His expression was a shade less sad. Its her picture," exclaimed the sentimental girl triumphantly. "Oh, goodness, how I wish I could see itl'

prepared to fight for it and adding that the latter must be gratifed at the hearty response which had been made through out the country. Referring to Canada and it's proximity to the United States he said he believed as an English pos session it was menace to the mainte- nance of the Monroe doctrine. As a possible result of this war, he suggested that instead of the extension of monar- chial governments in South America the consequence might be the extension of republican authority over monarchical governments Senator Wellington was instructed by unanimous vote Of the au- dience to present in the senate Senator Tellers resolution of sympathy with the Boers,

A Man Handcuffed to a Policeman
 Picks Up a Vagrant on the Way to
 the Jail.
 A prisoner handcuffed to an officer on his way to jail seldom takes advantage of his prerogative as a citizen to arrest another man. It was done last night however, and Detectives O'Brien ex7 plains it dnly on the theory that misery loves company. The prisoner who made the arrest states, however, that he did it because the man he arrested made him tired.
 Detective O'Brien was given a war rent to serve on Louis Finzer a tailor, who lives at the corner of Central ave- nue and Joiner street, last night and he went and got him. Finzer was charged with assault in the second degree on Fannie Rothschilds at the Rothchids's tailoring establishment, at 124 Kelly streeet He is said to have had trouble with the girl and in the racket which ensued he is charged with hurling a pair of heavy shears at her with such force that a serious wound was inflicted in her neck.
 Detective OBren and Finzer were approaching the Four Corners when they they were accosted by a we'll dressed young man who asked for a nickel.
 ''Ill give you a nickel" remarked Finzer, at the same time grabbing the young man with the hand which was not fastened to the officers wrist. When he had him in secure grip, he added:
 You come with me: you have no right to be begging on the street and I am going to arrest you. We will both follow this kind gentleman by my side and we will reach the jail"
 Then, turning to the detective, he said he expected to be protested against hold-up gangs at least while being ar rested.
 Finger insisted upon arresting the young fellow and kept a tight grip upon him until headquarters was reached, when both were locked up in adjoining cells Finzer insisted upon having the beggar registered first and followed him to the door of his cell to be sure that he was locked up. Afterward he said he had been arrested fifty times for all sorts of crime, but he declared that he never had asked for penny 
 in his life and that he regarded va grancy in an able-bodied man as the most henous ofsall crimes. He express ed his determination to appear against the beggar at his trial in police court this morning.
 The fellow gave his name as Mathew Hefferon, a machinist of Peterboro On- tario. He wore a neat-ftting new suit of clothes, spotless linen and red neck tie. He said he had never been arrested before and that he was a dutiful Sun day school pupil. He devoted consider able time to whining about his arrest, and was unmercifully guyed by the man who will stand trial on a very much more serious offence.
 It is said to be the first time in the history of the police of this country that such 6 case has appened,-From the Rochester Herald.
