ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Timothy Clifford was arrested by the
sheriff's department on Tuesday night
on a warrant charging him with rape and
was released yesterday on bond of $500
to await the action of the court The
complainant in the case is a girl about II
years old, who claims that last October
Clifford took her out for a walk and
ruined her. She also alleges that
Clifford then told her he would take her
to the opera house on the following night
if she would not say anything about IT,.
but she did not visit the opera. Later in
the season she says he met her on the
street and invited her to accompany him
to the skating rink, but she refused to
accept the invitation.
The complaint was issued from the
office of the county attorney and the
warrant was drawn by Justice Arnold.

The Serum Not Successful
The efforts of DR.. Reed have been
supplemented by experiments, under
government authorization. in which
well persons have been subjected to
tests which in several cases have
proven fatal. In July a Cuban boy
was taken to Havana and after eleven
hungry mosquitoes had been put in a
cage his arm was placed therein and
t..e insects permitted to suck blood
from it. The parasites were given a
chance to develop. and, when it was
believed that they were ready for ac-
ton. nine persons. at various intervals,
were bitten by them after having
been inoculated with a serum said to
render a cTson proof against the
fever. OF these, three persons have
died and the others are lingering be-
tween life and death, except one
whose recovery seems probable. While
the investigation has proved of some
benefit. in that it has disclosed the
source of the fever. the immunity

MONEY LOST IN CARS.


Have you any idea how much
money is lost in the street cars of this
town." asked a Metropolitan Street
Railway conductor of a reporter the
other day. after he had picked up a
dime and slowed it in an inside pocket.
Well, there's a lot of it, and no one
knows it better than we conductors.
Hunting for coins on the bottom of my
car is me of my regular CRAFTS, and
any other conductor who has been in
the business long enough to get his
eyes open Is on the same lay" says
the New York Sun.
Last year | made up my mind to
put away every cent | found in my
car in an old iron bank | had at home.
for the benefit of my youngster. |
kept slowing the coins away, and at
the end of the year | had s6.O7. OF
course that's not a barrel of money,
but it's a right nice pickup for a con-
ductor. The biggest find l made that
year was a fifty cent piece. From that
the coin ran all the way down to a
cent. In the winter time the pickings
are especially good. for then every n
has on gloves, and coins slip from the
fingers to the floor without the owners
knowing it. The only way to be sure
you have all the money is to pick the
gratings on the floor. | do that every
night as regularly as I eat m supper.
Now, I've figured it out that If | find
81 in one year, it's very likely that
other conductors average somewhere
neal that sum, nay be more, maybe
less. There are several thousand con-
ductors in Greater New York. so that
it is safe to say that at least SIS 900
or $40, 900 is annually dribbled on to
the floors of street cars by the passen-
gers. In this estimate | don't include
large sums, which are sometimes lost
in wallets and purses. A conductor is
expected to turn these in at the offic
and about all of them do. But the
nickels and dimes and quarters are
legitimate pickings and We all have
our eyes peeled for them"
