FOR MONEY.

Ahe i-cNS Souil III us lnttliIIs N'S''F-
day afternoon was asked to appropriate
| $4,000 towards the erection of Il pest
! house at Farnhurst. I ne request was
made by II committee Of the Trustees Of
the Poor Of New Castle Co.. consisting Of
Joseph l.. Chandler, chairman; Matthew
u. Murphy, George X. Roberts, John
Blith and Zarhariah Harris.
1t was first intended to build the pest
house of frame. Now, however, it i,
thought by some of the trustees that the
pest house ought to be built of brick and
work on the cellar walls has been stopped
until il can he seen whether or not sutli-
Gent money can m obtained to make the
c-.Hige from frame to brick.
Architect Rir" was present at the
meeting with the committee and stated
that the difference between frame and
brick would be $l.41SlO. For doing tn"
plumbing $3o5.34 will be required and
$3.50 for the heating apparatus. Patrick
Fnhcy, II trustee of the I,or. was also
present ut tn" meeting and said the
trustees had only s2,l0O cash in hand.
IL" said The trustees had burned two
frame pest houses that were too small
crowded in one room.
Mr.. Roberts stated that rho ,itv hail
promised to give 500 toward the pest
house. The committee stated that the
trustees would need help even if the
building was constructed of Frame as
they had only $500 in cash when they
started wcrk The Trustees of the Poor
think they may be able to save 500 by
economy,

HERE'S A GOOD THING; you
CAN EAT WITHOUT COST

The loquacious Mr. Pool, who dis
penses justice and says pithy things
from the center chair of the magis-
trates' courts throughout Manhattan,
has made another weird decision. Ac-
cording to him, man can go into a
restaurant, order everything on the bill
of fare, pay the cashier with serene
smiles and then be free from the hand
of the law.
Much to the dismay Of restaurant
keepers Mr.. Pool declared the decision
was final as far as he was concerned,
end impaired the startling nforma ton
that he was occupying his large chair as
judge and not as collecting agency.
Nobody doubted his word, but the pro-
prietor of a Bowery lunch concern lost
the price of meal thereby, and also
his opportunity to avenge himself on
hungry but independent customer.
The startling information about him.
self and his court was made by Mr.. Pool
in the Essex Market police court, New
York city. Victor Tramper. who says
his name bellies him. was brought be-
fore the magistrate charged with order
ing extensively in restaurant at %
Bowery without contributing anything
to swell the cash drawer.
