taking to the woods, as have all the run
aways from the institution came to this
city and Joined the after church process
sion on State street. They walked down
to the State Capitol, crossed over. and
took their position among some other
worshippers going home. They cultivated
the acquaintance of two young men who
walked with them a short distance, and
to them they contided that they had run
away from the school.
The girls were clad in the blue and
check flannel dress worn by the inmates
of the school, but wore no coats. but had
hats. They are young, and each has
plait of hair hanging down her back
Shortly before midnight they were ar
rested by Patrolman Lane and Connors
as they were running down Bellevue ave-
nue.. The young men ran when they
found the girls were going to be arrested
and they could not be caught.
At the station the girls gave the names
of Fannie Bogie and Sale Man. The
latter said she was Hackensack girl,
and the former that she was from Jer-
sey City. They spent most of their
time giggling at the station and seemed to
think it was great lark. The school
authorities were notified and they were
sent for at once so they were not put in
cell.
They said they got out at supper time,
going down into the bakery and getting
out of a window from which bar was
missing. Two other girls tried to escape,
but they were too stout to get through.
and Mrs Eyler caught them.
One of the girls had escaped before and
was caught. She asked for George BAN
ford after getting to Trenton. He was
special officer at the school, but was dis
charged on Thursday. She said he was
good to them, would coax them not to be
bad and try to keep them from getting
into trouble.

VALENTINES Bank IN COURT.

Ex-Assemblyman Hicks of New Bruns-
wick, obtained from Vice Chancellor Stew
ems this morning, an order requiring Re-
ceiver Campbell of the wrecked Middlesex
Bank, to show cause why Henry F. Wolf
of Perth Amboy, should not be admitted
as preferred creditor of the bank. When
the bank failed by reason of Valentines $
transactions, Wolf had on deposit $3.50,
and thought that if he appeared as a
creditor before the receiver he would be
secure. He has since learned that he
would be better off as a preferred creditor
and wants to be recognized as such py the
receiver.

BRUTAL BOYS.
Use Their Floberts to Kill
or Main Greenville
Pets.

The Greenville small boy, armed with
the deadly Flobert rifle, has, since Christ
mas, been playing havoc with the cat and
dog population of that section. Armed
with the rifles the boys form hunting par
ties and scour the streets for game. Many
pets have been sacrificed by the youthful
sportsmen, who have thus far escaped the
clutches of the police, who have been hot
on the trail.
Residents, missing their pets, Instituted
searches and in a majority of cases found
the dead bodies in some adjacent lot.
Numerous. complaints have been made to
the police, who have made special efforts
to capture the offenders, but as yet have
been unsuccessful.
The FloIbert rifle does not always KILL
Many cats and dogs have returned to
their homes badly MANNED or crippled.
The dog and cat owning population is in
dignant at the wholesale slaughter of
pets, and is seriously considering the
advisability of organizing a vigilance
committee to protect the animals and
capture the offenders.
President George Mccarthy of the S.
P. c. A. said, last evening, that he had
received numerous complaints and was
conducting an investigation in person. He
has given the agents instructions to make
especial efforts to apprehend the Offend

Besides the cruelty involved, the lives
of citizens and children are daily endan-
gered. While a wound caused by Flo
bert bullet might not prove. fatal, it
would certainly be painful and often Sc
rious. Parents who allow their children
to use these rifles use little sense, and
are more to be blamed than the chill

New Zealand Leads the World In
Solving the Problem.

"New Zealand is far ahead of the other
colonies of Australasia, and. in fact. Of
any other country in the world with which
I am acquainted, in its treatment of the
rnemployed. 1t has a well-considered plan
in actual operation, by which the unem-
ployed are gathered up in cities, at goV-
ernment labor bureaus, and are IorWAiusu
to one point or another, where they are
wanted on government railroads or other
public works. AT these points they are
not kept in camps to be scattered again
when the work is through, but they are
assigned farms, and their work is so ar
ranged that they work alternately for the
government and on their own lana. Ihe
government advances them FUNDS TO clear
their land and to build themselves homes.
In all parts of the colony the penniiess-
ut-of-work is by this system being con-
verted into thrifty land owner

ton is not Acce ted.

The Democratic State Com.
mlttee held two long executive
sessions at Kansas City. Tues
day, Sam B. Cook who has done
such faithful work as Chairman
of the Committee handed lin his
resignation (as he is candidate
for Secretary of State) and re.
tired from the room, but the
Committee unanimously declia-
ed to accept the resignation.
Heretofore in Missouri State
nominating conventions have
been held after the national
convention. The Committee
reversed this and this time the
convention to nominate the
State ticket will be held on
June ) about a month before
nationa. convention, at Kansas
CITY. On June II the Conven-
tion to elect delegates to the
National Convention will be
held at Jefferson City. The ju-
dicial convention will be beld
at Sedalia July II, The candi-
dates nearly all favored an
early convention as Il better or
ganization of the party can be
effected. The work of promul-
eating a platform will fall to
the judicial convention. The
basis of representation was fix
ed as follows: For nominating
convention one delegate for ev-
erv 300 votes cast for Bryan in
1896 and fraction of $50 and
over; for the other two conven,
tions the representation will be
one delegate for each 500 votes
cast for Bryan and fraction
over $50. This will give Mon
roe County - delegates to nom
mating convention and 9 dele
gates to each of other conven-
tions.
