STOLEN FROM q. S. PACKAGE
FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOL
LARS DISAPPEARS MYsTERIoUSLY.

About a month ago Collector Brendel of Buf-
falo. shipped TO Assistant United States Treas
urer Jordan, in this city. through the United
States Express, a package said to contain
$500. On its receipt at the Sub-Treasury the
package was found TO contain only 81. 500. In
some way yet unexplained 5000 had been
extracted from it. Treasurer Jordan immedi-
ately Informed Collector Brendel Of the discrep-
ancy, and Secret Service officers were at once
detailed on the case, which the local authorities
have surrounded with much mystery.
Treasurer Jordap beyond stating that the case
was being investigated would say nothing. 1t
could not be learned at the Sub-Treasury
whether the package bore any evidence of tam
pering. At the Office OF the express company no
statement was obtainable beyond the admission
that the company carries money packages be-
tween Buffalo and the local Sub-Treasury.
Secret Service officers stationed in this city
would not advance any theory to how the
theft committed.
From unofficial source ii learned that
this is not the first 'irregularity" that has hap
pened recently in the shipment of money pack
aGes between Buffalo and this city. Only
a few weeks ago an importer of this city
forwarded to Buffalo a registered letter con-
tanning a comparatively small sum of money.
That the letter left this city intact was shown
beyond doubt. On its arrival at Buffalo a por-
tion of the money missing. Secret Service
agents were assigned 10 this case. but so far as
is known the theft has not yet been explained.
Until recent years IL was one OF the duties OF
the local Treasury agents to run down cases
such as these but in the absence of appropria-
tions for contingent expenses in this division
the government has given the Secret Service
agents full charge

A Chance for Philanthropy.

In conversation with the chairman Of
the board of county commissioners, A.
J. Eckstein, the writer Ii armed that the
new home that the county has purchas-
ed for the housing of the county poor,
just on the outskirts of the city is with
out proper furnishings and that the
county is not in a position to immedi-
ately supply the needs without consider
able expense. In the course of the con-
versation it was suggested that there
might be number of people in the city
who have different articles of furniture,
bedding, kitchen utensils, clothing, etc.
that they would be glad to give to the
poor people who will have to make that
their home, and for the purpose of let
ting the people who are thus inclined
know of this place for getting rid of
such articles, it was suggested that a no.
tice be put in the Review. and any who
will do so may leave word with Mr..
Eckstein or take the articles to his store.
In this way the poor will be more com
fortably and more generously provided
for than if the county was dependent on
the small sum allowed for that purpose
only.
