WORKED WITH HER CHILD.
Negro shODlifter Caught With the
Goods by Detective Wall.

A clever negro shoplifter in the per-
son of Lille Smith, was arrested on
Broughton street yesterday by Detec-
tive Frank Wall. and is held at the
police station house on at least two
charges of larceny. The officer ex-
poets to be able to enter other charges
against the woman, and says that she
has been working her game success
fully for some time.
The woman worked her game we'll
although she was caught with the
goods on her. In her trips on Brough-
ton street, she was accompanied by a
small boy. who she says is her SON.
The woman rolled the child in car
riage, and when she went into the
stores she carried him in her arm. With
the child perched upon her left arm
she had no trouble in putting away
articles, when she felt so disposed.
According to Detective Wall the wo-
man would rest the child on a counter.
and when she got ready to take ii up
some article would be certain to stick
to her hand, or get caught under a
cape which il was her custom to wear
In every case the child on the arm was
used as a blind. and the carriage in
the street as a means of getting away
with the plunder. The officer got the
woman with two pairs of trousers that
she had taken from a store, and in the
face of such damaging evidence she
could not deny her guilt She was
badly frightened, and was taken to the
police station house in a hysterical
condition.

NEW POLITICAL CLUB.
Southsiders Organize i'm Favor of
the Administrations.

the Administration.
The Southside Administration Club
was organized at Kaisers Hall last
night by the amalgamation of the two
Southside clubs. which, in the recent
dinart, represented the McAlpin and
the Collins factions. The call for the
meeting, which was issued by Alder
man Holland was sent to only about
thirty persons, most of whom were
present.
Alderman Holland was to have been
chairman of the meeting, but being
kept away from the hall by other busi-
ness his place was taken by Mr.. John
F. Glatigny. Mr.. L. K. Meldrim was
elected temporary secretary.
The object of the meeting, as was
explained both by Mr.. w. T. Hussey
and Mr.. j Robert Creamer, is to bring
into an harmonious whole all the fac
tions of the Southside, and get to work
early in the interests of the adminis-
tration in the coming spring
primary.
In order to make the new club an
harmonious body it was decided that
committee of ten or more should
be appointed. consisting of five from
each of the old factions. and that this
committee not only shall nominate the
candidates for permanent offices of the
club, but also shall name an eXecu-
tive committee of fifty. This nonni-
mating committee will be appointed at
once and will make its nominations in
time to report at the next meeting of
the club which will be held in Kais-
er's Hall, Thursday night.
Among those present at the meeting
were Messrs. George Allen, w. H.
Peck. J. c. Bernhard Henry Garwes,
Arthur B. Cummings. Frank Drexler,
Joseph Killorin, James Fleming. Thorn
as Houlfhan, DIR. A. A. Morrison and
Mr. Thomas Gamble.

DETECTIVE GOT BURGLAR.
Negro Admitted to Detective stark
That He Robbed Dreese Residence.

Negro Admitted to Detective stark
That He Robbed Dreese Residence.
Sam Wilson, colored, was arrested
yesterday morning by Detective Julius
Stark and admits being one of the
burglars who have been operating re-
Gently. Articles stolen Sunday night
from the residence of Mr.. H. S. Dreese
on Duffy street were found on the pris-
oner and all of the property taken at
that time was recovered by the detec-
tive.
Other property believed to have been
stolen was found on the negro and the
officers think that they will be able to
prove that he is guilty of more than
the robbery which he admits having
committed. Wilson disclaims all knowl-
edge of any of the grocery store burg
laries. although the officers are not GER
tain that he is telling the truth. On
the contrary, they are pretty certain
that the negro did not commit one
crime and then go out of business.
The residence of Mr.. Dreese was en-
tered through a basement door early
sunday evening and a quantity of
household stuff was taken away. The
detectives were quite certain on Tues
uay tndt the crime was committed Dy
Wilson, a negro whose description he
answered to a letter having attracted
their attention. Detective Stark kept
the man under his eye in the hope that
he would be able to get the dead wood
on him.
Yesterday morning the officer deter
mined to make the arrest and found
articles taken FROM the residence of
Mr.. Dreese. The negro at first denied
his guilt, but when he learned that he
had not been picked up as a suspicious
character, but on at least one direct
charge of burglary he weakened and
admitted his guilt While the prisoner
made complete confession so far as
the Duffy street robbery is concerned.
he declared that he had done the work
alone, and refused, positively, to i'm
plicate any one with him.
Detective Stark had been successful
in arresting burglars and the capture
of Wilson is not his first case when the
public has been interested in an arrest
of this character When the late Capt
Thomas Screven was superintendent of
Police Officer Stark arrested a notori-
GUS burglar named D. Pine. The negro
had burglarized some half dozen resi-
dences and wagon load of goods was
recovered by the detective making the
arrest. Wilson will not appear in Po-
lice Court this morning and the detec-
tives hope during the day to be able to
place other crimes at his door,

Simple Faith of Old Time Darkey
Saved Him From Punishment.
The ready answer of a delinquent
juryman. that chanced to catch the
fancy of the judge, saved the juryman
from punishment yesterday morning
That the answer brought back to Judge
Barrow something of the old simple
faith of the black friends of his youth
was responsible for his softened heart
When the roll of the jurors was called
Nelson Law. a member of the panel
failed to answer to his name and a
bailif was sent out on the streets to
hunt him up. After some delay he
was found and the bailiff ushered into
the court room tall and stately
darkey, just about as black as the ace
of spades. He was carried before the
bar of justice. Judge Barrow medi-
lated the amount of,the fine he would
impose.

plants and felt a pride in their ar
rangement to the best advantage.
