Philadelphia Police Believe en- Organized
GanG Exists In That City.

The police believe that an organized
band of kidnapers, the methods Of which
are too crude to make 1t dangerous. Is
operating in Philadelphia. A second
threatening letter. similar to the one re-
ccived Jan. IL by Oscar Miller of 219
South Ninth street. was received Ivy Ma
thas Homer of Lansdowne. "A man
was arrested on suspicion of being about
to seek the backmail money under a
stone. Because Of the haste of the con.
stable who laid the trap the value Of
the arrest is doubtful The letter to
MIR. Miller was signed -. r. The one
to Mr.. Homer was signcd y. d. and
stated that the band would kidnap one
of his children IL he did not pay S2OO.
Specific directions for the delivery Of the
money were given. a plan was arrang-
cd to trap the would-be abductors. Mrs.
Homcr's cook went to the rock as IL to
deposit the money. As she was leaving
man was seen to go toward her, but
before waiting to see il he would go to

FEW CHANGES IN PRICES.
Cereals Arc Higher. White Coffee and Hog
Products Have Declined.

Bradstrcct's says: Speculation Is limit
cd In nearly all lines of produce and in
stocks. and 1t Is probable that clearing
returns ut present give Il clearer idea OF
actual business than for three months
past. Prices show few important changes,
the cereals being slightly higher. while
hog products and coffee are lower. with
dairy products weak. The feature of the
week in iron has been the placing Of
large ordcrs--2OO,OOO tons--of Bcsscmer
pig ut equivalent to S13.25 ut Pittsburg.
This has stcadicd the market generally
except for foundry grades, which are
weak. a feature in the export line was
the shipment Of 5000 tons of steel billets
10 Glasgow from Birmingham, the larg-
est shipment of this material ever sent
abroad from the South. Talk of Il COM
ing big deal in May wheat ~ Chicago
has revived again."

BIRDS HooDOo A CLOCK.
swarms of Them Got Into the Works
and Deranged the Mech
anism.

The first mark of irregularity of the
big clock in the tower of the Union de-
pot was the discord of the hands on
the four dials, facing north, south, east
and west. These are run by long steel
arms that extend from the mechanism
in the center. The hands, each of which
is about four feet long, did not keep
the same time. The great, long hands
acted as if there were some force re-
straining them. Occasionally they
would spring into harmony, but would
catch again moment later. says the
Denver Republican.
The head janitor, Mr.. Smith, was sent
to make an investigation. To reach
the tower it is necessary to climb to
the head of the stairs, then, through a
small door, to ladder and up that to
another door, and so on until fourth
ladder has been climbed, when the ma
chinery of the clock is reached.
Opening the last door and stepping
into the apartment, the walls of which
are the four faces of the clock, that
are IL feet across he found that a
swarm of birds had taken refuge in the
clock tower. Some of them had
crawled into the works of the clock.
and, perching on the more delicate
parts, had put them out of order.

CONGRESS OF CUBA.
Elected In an Extremely Quiet Way
without Any Public
Pressure.

The Cuban congress, which con-
sists of 81 delegates and their substi-
tutes, is the result of a special gem
eral election held in the municipali-
ties throughout the island on Sep
tember Is; the second election in
which the Cuban people had ever par
ticipated, the first being their cleo
tion of municipal officers and mu-
nicipal judges in June Is of last year,
says the National Magazine.
To an American, accustomed to the
excitement and disorder that seem to
be the natural concomitants of keen
political competitions in the United
States, these two elections were ex-
tremely quiet and even prosaic. There
was no disorder of any kind. Only a
few of the municipal police were at
the voting stations, the presence of
the American soldiers having wisely
b:en deemed unnecessary. Whatever
iregularity may have been carried
On in the way of directing the voting
was done in the clubs, of which there
are one or more in every Cuban town,
and the conduct of the people at the
polls would have furnished a valuable
object lesson to American voters. AS
,he Cubans seldom get intoxicated
there was noticeably absent the COM
mon occasion for POI ce surveillance,
and the rumors of trouble which
were bruited about previous to the
election were proved to be empty.
