Let me borrow story which has already

man passed along street of great city,
unmindful of the merchandise piled on
either side; he sought out bird store
and purchasing a number of birds, opened
their cages and allowed them to fly away.
When asked why he thus wasted his
money he replied: I was once a captive
myself, and it gives me joy to be the
means of setting any captive free

able that the 10000. 600 paid TO Spain can
be secured from the Filipinos; but, even
if ii cannot, it is better to consider that
sum as a contribution to the spread of

regard it as part payment upon the pur-

A RETIRED BURGLAR DYING.
james Brady, King OF Bank Rob-
bers, Fast Passing Away.


New Rochelle. N Y, Sept. 7. 1906
James Brady, for thirty years a king of
bank robbers and safe breakers, is dying
in the hospital here from old age and ex-
posture. He was found lying early this
morning in John Redmond's barn, in North
Street. suffering from chiIls and fever
He said that he had been taken i'll in the
street. and had staggered into the barn
to die.
Brady is in his seventy-ffth year, and
had a long and ried-experience A good
portion Of his life has been spent in state
prisons. He began his career years ago
before IL became the custom of business
houses to deposit their money in the
banks. He could unlock any safe. and
often boasted that he and his confederates
had frequently robbed a dozen business
houses in night. He was a close friend
of BIZ Train. who was better known as
the nan who killed Ped Leary.
Years ago when Brady was in his
palmy days. he owned a large country
house in Pelham Road, near Rochelle He
used to travel up and down on the train
from New York. and II was thought for
a long time he was a business man.
Brady's downfall began when he was ar
rested and convicted for stealing some
served three years in Sing Sing Brady
never denies any of his crimes. but he
says JHdI ne Will declare IN MS QylnB
breath that he was innocent of this one.
The old man never gave the police of
New Rochelle any trouble. After he re-
tired as a burglar he used to sit around
the police station, with his pipe in his
mouth, and tell stories of his career.
Brady was acquainted with the famous
swindler, Lord Beresford.'' The swindler
used to visit Brady and Train in New
Rochelle frequently, and several times
sought their homes as a refuge when the
police were on his trail.
Brady is now entirely without money.
OF late he has managed to make living
by assisting at the ~clambakes along the
sound and cleaning up barrooms. IN the
days when he had money he was always
generous with it and as destitute as he
has been in late years he has often been
seen dividing his last 10 cents OF quarter
with some one he thought was more IN
fortunate than himself
