NAUGATUGK NUGGETS.
Girls Fined s for Breaking Quaran-
 tine Regulations.

Nellie Ostroski and Julia Sturskin- sky, aged 15 and IS years respectively, were arrested last evening by Officer Finn for breaking quarantine regula- tions by entering house where a contagious disease exists. The two girls entered the home of John Sturskinsky, where a case of scarlet fever in it's worst form exists. The girls were in the house for about an hour and half and when they came out were placed under arrest by the officer. In the borough court this morning they pleaded guilty and stat ed that they entered the house for some clothes. Judge Hungerford, be- fore whom the case was tried, stated that they should not have gone in there and for that class of people who didn't seem to know any better he thought a $5 fine in each case was sufficient and he accordingly fined the girls $5 each without costs The girls did not seem to regard the matter in a very serious light this morning and thought they were being imposed upon by being arrested for breaking a quar- antine. The case of scarlet fever in the house which the girls entered is now in it's worst form, the scales just beginning to peel off, and when the length of time they remained in the house is taken into consideration it will not be at all surprising if one or both of the girls are afflicted with the disease themselves. It is also said that the habit of breaking quarantine In5 fc To in City and that more arrests will fol. low these two if the offenders are caught.

CHIEF OF ORDNANCE.
Young Man Now in Charge of Im-
 portant Department.
A Few Weeks Ago William Crozier Was Plain Captain, Now He Holds the Rank of Brigadfer Gem
 eral in the Army.

The president recently appointed Capt. William Crozier, of the ord nance department to be chief of the bureau of ordnance of the army with the rank of brigadier general, to fill the vacancy caused by the re- tirement of Gen. A. K. Burlington, on account of age.
 The appointment of Gen. Crozier was made largely upon the recon mendation of Secretary Root, who has become very favorably impressed with Gen. Crozier's ability, and who desires to surround himself with ac- tive men of high professional ability in the conduct of the military estab- lisment. Gen. Crozier has demon strated his ability in nearly every de- partment of ordnance, and has shown a wide knowledge of all af- fairs pertaining to his profession. He was the military member for the United States delegation at The Hague peace conference, and assisted in bringing about the agreement finally reached for more humane con- duct of war.
 Gen. Crozier is a native of Ohio, but was appointed to the military academy from Kansas in 1872. When he graduated in 1876 he entered the artillery, and was transferred to the ordnance in 1881. He became cap- tain in 1890, after IA years service. During the Spanish war he served as a major and inspector general of vol unteers. During his career as ord- nance officer he has given the strict est attention to guns and gun car- riages, and was joint inventor, with Gen. Burlington, who retired

BIG ROBBERY.
Express Agent at FOrdsviIIe
Held Up For $4,000.
Mysterious Affair and Detectives
At Work On the
Case.

J.C. Schitz5aum, American ex-
press agent at Fordsville, Ky,
claims to have been robbed Of $685.
900.
Several days ago a man giving
his name as J. w. Boatner, Of Mem
phis, appeared at the Office of the
American Express Company at
Dean6eld, which is only FIVE miles
from Fordsville, and wanted to ex-
press $4,000 to the latter point.
Boatner took a receipt for it, but
the agent remembered that he was
allowed to ship only $4,000 at one
time, and made him take the cash
back. Boatner then went to Owens
boro with Joe Guess, Marshall of
Deane6eld. Boatner and Marshall
Guess Immediately departed for the
country and spent the day in the
woods. Thursday evening they
came back and wanted $28, 900 sent
to Fordsville that night, but the
agent, ]. G. Burch would not re-
ceive it, They kept it until Friday
morning, when it was sent out.
Boatner and Guess disappeared,
Guess going back to Deane6eld.
The money reached its destina.
ton, and the agent informed a
number of people of its arrival and
of the amount. Boatner had tele-
pboned him to hold the money and
not put in the bank as he would be
there very early this morning for
it. Some of the citizens of Fords-
Vile offered their assistance to
Agent Schlitzbaum in guarding the
money last night, but he said he
did not want help.
This morning Schiltzbaum was
gone from Fordville and turned uI
at Falls of-Rough. ten miles away.
He stated that he was held up,
robbed and kidnapped during the
night. He first decided to stay at
the depot all night, he says. but
finally got nervous and started to
the hotel, which is only one square
away. Between the two places he
was set upon and robbed by three
men. He says he never saw the
robbers before.
Schlitzbaum and Boatner are
both under arrest and detectives
are working on the case, trying to
connect them with a conspiracy to
rob the express company. Boatner
holds the company's receipt for
$4,000.

A Unique Occupation.

This reminds me of a rather good way in which one clever little woman Is earn ing her living. She supplies ideas and fa- vors for dances and sends around neatiy printed circulars announcing that Miss Blank undertakes the preparations for any dance you intend to give and will see 1t Is a success. She not only sees to the supper and the decorations, but even in- vents new figures for the cotillon. and, as I said before, originates all sorts of charming favors.
 One dance she recently supervised was on a rather elaborate scale. It was called a moonlight dance. The lights were turned low and the bulbs yelled with pale greenish paper. Towering trees and festcons of greenery concealed the by means of gayly colored Japanese lan- terms hung in most realistic manner from the boughs of supposed trees. The refreshments were served in a grove on rustic tables. Some of the favors were in the shape of tiny gnomes and tinsel fairies, which proved to be bonbon boxes.
 There Is a very sensible way of cloth ing children just now. and you will find that 1t is being very generally adopted by the well to do-those who could af- ford to dress their children in silks and satins if they chose. but who won't be- cause they have too much taste and too great a sense of the comfort due to child hood. In a few years I hope we shall see no overdressed children except those of the poor. It really seems about that way

December ,. The four vessels then steamed north in line with the islands. The greatest care was exercised to pre- vent discovery. No lights were shown, and only small red and blue flags were used. The flag officers did their night signalling by whistles and shielded lights. There was clear weather throughout the run. .------- .-..-
 An especially careful watch was kept December :. when the four vessels were due north of Culebra Island. which Ad- miral Sumner supposed to be the center of the north and south line of the blue scouts. In order to avoid these scouts, Admiral SumEer kept over 200 miles away from the land. December the Iowa, Albany. Illinois and Chicago ran paral- Tel with the north shore of Porto Rico until directly north of the Mona pas sage. when they turned to the south with the intention of making Santo Domingo, sneakng along the shore of that island and making a dash across the Mona pas sage under forced draught to Maya guese.
 In view of the average speed of thir- teen and one-tenth knots an hour it was not feasible to make a greater detour. Some of the officers of the white squad ron desired to enter Mayaguese at once, but to this Admiral Sumner was opposed. When entering the Mona passage at 2 o'clock this morning. the squadron stop ped for a short time. No blue scouts were signed until dawn glowed in the east; then the Olympia. Cincinnati, De- troit and Montgomery were seeh. The vessels had been scouting on the north short of Porto Rico. It Is remarkable that they failed to sight the white squad ron. especially as the night was clear and there was half a moon until 1 O o'clock
 All preparation for mining the harbor had been made when the four vessels of the white squadron dropped their an chors in Mayaguese harbor. at twenty fouI minutes pass six this morning.
 Boats we-s lowed at once and the min ing of the channel was finished in thirty four minutes. Upon the appearance of Ire white squadron the Hist discharged green and ed signals and attempted to escape. No effort was made to prevent her, The other scouts of the blue suuad- ron. fearing capture. hastened away to search for Admiral Higginson. The commander of the blue squadron was last reported at Wiequez Island, where he will be advised of Admiral Summers vic- tory.
 The problem Is held to be a further demonstration of the need of exercise in scouting and of a greater navy.
 It is said that Admiral Sumner will sail tonight for Culebra Island. where he will transfer his lag Admiral Dewey will then organize the fleet. Admiral Higginson will have command of the first squadron All the battleships will be in the second division. which will be under command of Admiral Crownin- shield.
