with the prisoner. He admitted that
he was the man whom the New York
authorities were in quest Of. He said
his name was Harris and that Delosee
was also part Of his given name and
that he used it because he liked it
better than Harris. In answer to fur
there questions he said he was mar
ried and had a wife and three chill
dren back in New York. The girl
with him he declared to be his niece
and said that she had accompanied
him because she wanted to live west.
Asked why he did not bring his fam
lily along, he answered that he did
not have money enough, having in
tended to secure work here and as
soon thereafter as possible to send
for his wife and children. He said
that the reason he and the girl passed
themselves of as husband and wife
was because of his poverty, he being
unable to provide her with a separate
room. "
This story is regarded as some
what d~iaphanous, that is part of it.
OF their poverty there is no doubt,
as they we're actually penniless when
taken under the protection Of MI.
Mayer. OF the money he gave them
only 20 cents remained when the cou-
pie were arrested. Letters found on
the man would indicate that it was
a simple a s Of clipping. In n some
decidedly plain and conclusive Ian
guage is used showing that the re-
lations that have existed between the
pair were hardly those of an uncle
and niece.
Harris, which name he now admits,
says the girls nam is Sarah Lam
phere.
Pending the arrival of Sheriff Math-
err, Harris will be kept where he is
and the girl will probably be permit
ted to remain with the Salvationists,
as it is believed she cannot make her
escape, being without means and a
stranger, beside she will be closly
watched.
Will Not Resist.
Harris says he will make no resist
ance to being taken back to New
York. He maintains that the girl
accompanied him of her free will and
accord, in fact asked him to take
her. While he does not say so, it
appears from the letters already re-
ferred to that the girl is a sister of
the prisoners wife and that she is
infatuated with him and he with her.
Although said to be only Is years
old, the girl presents the appearance
of being several years older.

UNCLE TONS CABIN"

The city superintendent of the public schools
decided few weeks ago to take "Uncle Tom $
Cabin" from the list of books for class and rer-
erence libraries because it had served its pur-
pose and had no value for the reader or the
present day. The Tribune expressed regret at
that time at the action taken. and we are now
pleased to see that our views have been &C
cepted and that the book has been reinstated
When the matter of excluding the book was
under discussion we agreed with those people
who said that It had served its purpose, but we
could not indorse the action which branded the
work of Mrs Stowe worthless" at the present
time 1t is dear to us for what 1t was, and TO
cast it aside would be like tearing up the notes
of the old songs which recall childhood's days
or like throwing into the lumber closet the gun
which a dear one carried in battle for his coun-
try.
The old song is not popular now; the old gun
brings a smile to the soldier Of to-day, and
'oUncle Toms Cabin" deals with condition
which the present generation never knew. But
while we have little sentiment left we want
to keep the dear old useless souvenirs of former
times not to remind the rising generation OF
strife and hostility long forgotten and forgiven,
but to make it appreciate the blessings OF peace
which grew out of them.

Tammany's immediate object in concerning a
characteristic little trick TO substitute John 7
Mccall for Mr.. Parsons as chairman of the
Finance Committee OF the Board Of Aldermen
was TO get one of its faithful agents into the
Sinking Fund Commission. When the courts
have expressed their opinion of the perform
ance there may be less joy in the organization
than there is now. but if the election Of Mr.. Nc
Call should be held valid his function will doubt
less be to watch and if possible hamper the
action Of the commission with reference to the
leases which the late Tammany Dock Board
executed on extraordinary terms, as recently
described in The Tribune.
Ii can readily be understood that Charles K.
Murphy, the undispUted leader of Tammauy
Hall, is urgently in need of inside information
as to the precise intentions Of the Sinking Fund
Commission in respect TO that matter and will
neglect no opportunity 10 embarrasS proceedings
which may result ia revOking favors so profit
gately granted. Mr. Murphy was a member Of
the Dock Board whose acts are now under re-
view-indeed, it has always been conceded that
for all practical purposes he was the only men,
Der. For the sake, therefore, of personal inter
ests which are dear TO him, and OF the organi-
cation which is preparing TO make a desperate
effort to regain control of the city government

But il is not clear just how he expects TO ac-
complish his Interior object In the first place
there is reason 10 hope that the attempt TO get
rid Of Mr.. Parsons VIII not succeed, but, even
if ii should Mr.. Mccall would not have an easy
task before him. The Sinking Fund Comm .,
sion consists of the Mayor, the Controller, the
Chamberlain, the president Of the Board of Al
dernen and the chairman OF the alderInanic
Finance COmmittee-that is TO say, ii consists

These Tammany leases OF docks and dumping
boards, already exposed in much detail and for
time exclusively by The Tribune, unquestiOn-
ably deserved the close scrutiny which Com
missioner Hawkes. gave them. and il is earnest

half that permitted here In the more open parts
of such communities. On open country roaoS

1t is also to be observed that all engines IN
