A dispatch from New York last night
SAYS: According to DR.. Henri P. Alexan-
der, an oculist of this city, the missing

DR.. Alexander said today that last Tues
day afternoon he was in the office of DR..
Archibald Weinberg, when a boy called and
asked for a position. Il asked him his

it was Willie Mac, and hesitated. I asked
him again. and he said 1t was Willie Nc

him where he went to school, and he told

the matter until yesterday, when I saw the

said the same boy had returned to his Of

first visit said he was the only support of
a widowed mother while on Thursday he
said he was sef-supporting.
DIR. Weinberg said that when the boy
left his office he sent one Of his men to
watch him. Seeing that he was being fol-

report was adopted declaring that "t is

Senator Clark now, fearing that the I'M

Marloupiot in the cab and clambered upon
the box himself. where he picked up the
reins and drove as rapidly as possible to his
fashionable hotel. All other establishments
on the way were closed.
Under medical care Marloupiot soon re-

1t seems that President Roose-
welt is not the only Republican who
is having trouble with the cclored
brother these days, as witness the
following from the Wayne News
Our friend Geo. w. Tippett, of
the Point Pleasant Register, is too
wary to be caught in a Republican
trap. He is the only Democrat on
the Board for the Reform School,
and the proposition came up at The
recent meeting to elect a superin.
tendent for the colored department.
There were two applicants, one
white man and the other negro.
The four Republican members di-
vided even, so as to throw the entire
responsibility on the Democrat. II
the colored man was elected, they
could lay the blame on the Demo
crat. If the colored man was de-
feated they could explain to the
negroes that the Democrat did it.
But Tippett was too sharp for them.
He informed the Republican mem.
bers that it was a fight among them
selves and they could settle it, and
declined to vote. The meeting
resulted in hung Board. There
was no election.
