in New York
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
The movement for the suppression of
street begging recently begun by the New
York police In cooperation with the Char
ity Organization Society has already re-
suited IN the arrest and conviction of a
large number OF professional mendicants
The new mendicancy squad makes about a
hundred arrests each month. The MEM
Ders of the squad have made a study of
the faces OF all the beggars thus far
caught, and 1t Will be exceedingly difficult
hereafter for any professional to escape
recognition on the streets of New York
city. Among those convicted last month
are some of the most notorious beggars in
the country. one-legged man, who was
arrested while begging from poor Jewish
and Italian working girls. was found to
have a bank account Of 81 400.
Another interesting case is that of one
Charles Gormley. who has been working
the club and hotel districts. This man has
been known to the Charity Organization
Society since 1892 He Is described as a
well-dressed man of about 90. of gentle
manly appearance, wearing white NOUS
tache and imperial. His device is that of
he retired manufacturer who has been
touched" or lost his money or been taken
sick and needs IS or 81 or $40 to get home.
Although caught in the act, with incrimi-

the arrest as an outrage. THE idea of ar

A HIGH TENOR.
Anna Louise Carey's Unsuspected Part
in a Musical Entertainment.

From the New York Evening Post
The late Anna Louise Carey once figured
in an amusing incident at one of the
monthly meetings of the Boston Clef Club
which deserves to be rescued from oblivion
The club was composed exclusively of men.
all interested directly or indirectly in music,
and at the meetings the best of entertain
ment was always provided by the mem
bers themselves. Among these were the
two brothers Will and John Winch. who at
this time We're in great demand owing to
their beautiful voices. Will Winch possess
ed a magnificent bass and John an equally
fine tenor. On the occasion in question their
contribution to the evenings entertainment
was novel composition Of their own, a
supposed duet between an old, world -expe-
rienced tom-cat and his hot-headed i'm
patient son, who had fallen hopelesslv in
love with sleek tabby of the neighbor-
hood
Seating themselves on the edge of the
platform, on which stood nothing save an
ordinary Japanese screen the two singers
began their amusing performance, which
opened with stern upbraiding of the
youthful back-fence prowler by his more
prudent and experienced father. The reply
was given by the tenor, who, breaking
forth into an impassioned love song, poured
forth his whole soul in the praises of his
mistress and of the divine pass,on
Having reached the highest tone of his
voice. Winch struck a single falsetto note,
and then followed series of the purest
the most beautiful, bird-like notes to which
the dumfoundeu hearers had ever listened
And still the wonderful voice scared up
ward. A moment and the final height was
reached and the song abruptly ceased
From behind the screen a woman's laugh
ing face appeared. that of Anna Louise
Carey, and the mystery was one no long
er-it was she who has. carried on the song
from the moment of the striking of the
falsetto note and well had the decep-
ton been carried out that not one of those
present had doubted that ne was still lis
tening to the voice of John Winch.

IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN.

Seltese Tribe, No. Is. Improved Order
of Red Men, held its semi-annual cleo
tion of officers Tuesday night at their
wigwam, 80 Pennsylvania Avenue north

junior sycamore, A. S. Astlin; chief of
records, DR.. +. G. johnson; keeper of
wampum. George Watt: collector of wam-
pun, E. A. Mcclure, and J. F. Barnes,
w. Twiville, and j. Bales, trustees.
Seltese Tribe, although one of the
youngest in this city, having been in
stituted less than two years ago, has
kept pace with the other tribes in the
phenomenal growth of the order in this
reservation. It is now the second larg-
est in the District. Sachem Marvin. the
retiring presiding officer, has been one
of the hardest workers in the tribe. and
much of the tribes success is due to his
efforts. The new presiding officer, Sachem
Deponai, is the youngest presiding chief
in this reservation, but he has followed
the trail faithfully since he Joined the
order, and his elevation to the highest
Office is-well merited. Seltese Tribe has
the honor of possessing the finest para
phernalia OF any tribe in the District. II
not in the country, and its degree team
compares favorably with any other team
in the city.

SONS OF VETERANS.

Major e. r. Campbell, commander in
chief of the Sons of Veterans, who was
elected to that rosition at the cncamp-
ment in Providence last September. is
himself veteran of the civil war, and is
particularly desirous of building up the
Sons as an organization and drawing them
into closer and more useful union with
the older body.
As Gen. Ell Torrance, at the head 0f the
G. ~ r., is also son Of veteran. as
well as a veteran, Major Campbell has
issued in several general orders a call
to the comrades Of the C. A. R. asking for
their cooperation in his efforts to lift the
Sons to a higher plane of usefulness and
endeavor.
In the last one, issued December 20, he
says:
THE ties that bind the two organiza-
tions together arc cemented by the asso-
Citations of the present and the memories
of the past, when you shared danger and
endured hardship together in camp, in
field. in hospital, and in prison pen. In
our early manhood We desire to become
acquainted and form associations with a
common interest based upon the history
of the past which you have made sacred.
While you are yet alive we would learn
your forms and ceremonies, and from your
own lips in our camp rooms receive the
instructions necessary for their contin-
uancc.
"A certain text in scripture teaches US
to ask, and we shall receive; seek. and
we shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto us We knock at the door OF
the Grand Army OF the Republic; We seek
recruits through the endeavors of your
members; We ask you to encourage your
sons to become identified with the Sons
Of Veterans, United States OF America.
and TO assist in preserving The memories
OF the heroic dead and perpetnatins the

Sacred as your own good name.
''Do not form opinion blindly,
Hastincss to trouble tends;
Those Of whom we've thought unkindly,
Oft become our warmest friends"
