FRAUNCE's TAVERN WAITER
What the First Arrest mt the Noted 7 -. Ix n 1oa

What the First Arrest mt the Noted
 Landmark Revealed.
 In New York the other day John Jambal, waiter, was arraigned for selling a glass of beer to a policeman on Sunday without insisting on the customary sandwich being purchased. Tn the complaint the place in which the liquor was sold was put down as "101 Broad street"
 After questioning the waiter and the policeman for some time Judge Hol- brook, who presided, looked at Lawyer Walsh and asked:
 Has that place at 101 Broad street a good reputation?"
 The lawyer answered in the affirma- tive, and then the judge asked:
 sHow long has the place been there?"
 This appeared to surprise MT. Walsh, and, after gazing at the ceiling for a moment, he answered.:
 ooh, guess somewhere between 130 and 140 years.'
 What's thaty' asked the judge as How long did you say?"
 'Well, for more than century and a quarter" replied the lawyer, ''and as far as I can learn this is the first arrest that has ever been made there. That ought to establish good reputation, think''
 But what place is it?' was the judges next question.
 'sWhy, thought you knew" said the lawyer as he laughed "That is Fraunce's tavern, and I don't suppose I need tell you anything of its his tory"
 The three judges bowed their heads over their desk for few moments, and when Judge Holbrook rendered the yer dict of the court his face was flushed.
 "The prisoner is discharged" he said simply.
 Fraunce's tavern is the famous old place in which Washington bade fare well to his officers on Dec. B, 17S3.

 Thorpe's intelligence leaped promptly to the practical question.
 'Injun Charley = where'd he come from? sent him up to Sadler & Smiths. It's twenty miles, even through the woods
 As though by way of colossal answer the whole surface of the jam moved inward and upward, thrusting the logs bristling against the horizon.
 sShe's going to breakn' shouted river. "A chain, quick!'
 The men followed, strung high with excitement. Hamilton, the Journalist, paused long enough to glance up stream. Then he. too, ran after them, screaming that the river above was full of logs. By that they all knew that Injun Charley's mission had failed and that something under 1O,OO0,O0O feet of logs were racing down the river like so many battering rams.
 At the boom the great jam was all ready a-tremble with eagerness to spring. Indeed miracle, alone seemed to hold the timbers in their place.
 ssIts death, certain death, to go out on that boom," muttered Billy Mason.
 Tim Shearer stepped forward coolly, ready as always to assume the perilous duty. He was thrust back by Thorpe, who seized the chain, cold-shut and hammer which Scotty Parsons brought and ran lightly out over the booms, shouting:
 "Back! Back! Don't follow me, on your lives! Keep lem back, Timv'
 The swift water boiled from under the booms. Bang! smash! bang! crash ed the logs mile up stream, but plain ly audible above the waters and the wind. Thorpe knelt, dropped the cold shut through on either side of the weakened link and prepared to close it with his hammer He intended further to strengthen the connection with the other chain.
 "Lemme hold her for you. You can't close her alone," said an unexpected voice next his elbow.
 Thorpe looked up in surprise and an. ger. Over him leaned Big Junko. The men had been unable to prevent his following. Animated by the blind de votion of the animal for it's master and further stung to action by that mas ter's doubt of his fidelity, the giant had followed to assist as he might.
 You fool" cried Thorpe, exasperat- ed, then held the hammer to him. Strike while keep the chain under neathv' he commanded.
 Big Junko leaned forward to obey, kicking strongly his calks into the parked surface of the boom log. The spikes, worn blunt by the river work already accomplished. failed to grip. Big Junko slipped, caught himself by an effort, overbalanced in the other di- rection, and fell into the stream. The current at once swept him away, but fortunately in such a direction that he was enabled to catch the slanting end of 'dead head" log whose lower end was damned in the crib The dead head was slippery. the current strong.

S The latter listened in silence and stolidity, then turned and without Q word departed swiftly in the dark ness. The two white men stood min- ute attentive. Nothing was to be heard but the steady beat of rain and the roaring of the wind.
 Near the bank of the river they en- c0untered man visible only as an un- certain black outline against the glow of the lanterns beyond Thorpe, stop ping him, found Big Junko

 II ain't quittin'," replied Big Junko.
 Where are you going, then?"
 Junko was partially and stammering ly unresponsive.
 Looks bad,' commented Thorpe. You'd better get back to your job.'
 Yes," agreed Junko helplessly. In the momentary slack tide of work the giant had conceived the idea of search ing out the driver crew for purposes of pugilistic vengeance. Tborpe's suspi- cions stung him, but his simple mind could see no direct way to explanation.
 All night long in the chill of spring cain and wind storm the Fighting Forty and certain of the mill crew gave them selves to the labor of connecting the slanting stone cribs so strongly by means of heavy timbers chained end to end that the pressure of a break in the jam might not sweep aside the de- lenses. Wallace Carpenter, Shorty, the ehore boy, and Anderson, the barn boss, picked dangerous passage back and aorth carrying pails of redhot coffee which Mrs. Hathaway constantly pre- pared The cold water numbed the mems hands. With difficulty could they manipulate the heavy chains through the auger holes; with pain they twisted knots, bored holes. They did not complain.

Then he looked up to find the man, squatted on the boom, contemplating him sardonic- ally.
 "Dyerr' he exclaimed

tim Identifies Him as Robber.

police yesterday morning and is held
at the central station to answer the
charge of highway robbery. ST. Aubin,
who is we'll known to the local police,
is accused of snatching purse from
Theresa Griffen Saturday night. The
young woman, who is employed at the
Golden Rule, worked until 10 o'clock
and with the rest Of the employees Of
the establishment started home. A
small purse attached to chain was
swinging between her fingers. Near
ing the corner of Cedar and Eighth
streets, she noticed a man coming to-
ward her. but as it was Saturday night
and there were several people on the
street she did not take much notice of
the man.
Suddenly he grabbed the girls purse
and tried to jerk it from her hand,
but the chain was wound around two
fingers of the girls left hand, and the
crook, determined to get the purse,
twisted the chain in such manner
that the two fingers Of the glove were
torn from the girls hand.
He ran UP Cedar to Ninth, and
emptying the contents of the purse,
which contained $1.15, threw it into
an excavation in the rear of barn,
where it was found yesterday, togeth-
er with pieces of the broken chain.
Miss Griffen identified st. Aubin as
the thief at the central station yes
terday.

BOYS FIND SUICIDE
Decomposed Body of Man Dis.
covered Near City's Outskirts.

Yesterday afternoon while Arthur
Craig, who lives at 1875 Princeton
avenue, and Porter Perryhill, a COM
panion, were passing through the
woods near Randolph and Clifton ave-
nues, they came upon the badly de-
composed body of man lying near a
tree. The two Immediately notified
the officers at the Prior station, and
after an inspection by the coroner the
body was taken to the nnorgue.
The body had evidently been in the
woods all winter. Upon examination
it was found that the man had deliber-
ately committed suicide, as a 3S-caliber
revolver was found by his side. In
the pocket Of the coat was found a
note without date, which was as fol-
lows:
81 want-for the reason if not carry
any suspicion as did forseen any way,
so that could get along peacefully,
for feel as to all have really no hope
in this life. so | ask for forgivness
for the action and also ask God to
forgive me have been a marter all
the days of my life cant tell wy it
has been so, yours Oliver A. Punizza."
{ The body was frozen stiff when
found. The features were unrecogniz-
able, having been mutilated by wood
animals. The man was about six feet
in height and had the appearance of
being a laborer. The man wore striped
trousers, dark coat and vest and black
cambria shirt.

The teachers and students of the
Mechanic Arts high school are working
overtime in their endeavor to surpass
the efforts of all previous classes along
histrionic lines. They intend to make
their presentation of Tennyson's For
esters" the best of the many fine plays
that have been given by the students
Of the school. They are laboring I'M
der special difficulties this year, as they
have to prepare an entirely new set of
scenery. The school possesses an
abundance of forest scenes and meadow
scenes, indoor scenes and outdoor
scenes, but they were all made for the
little stage in the school which was
torn out two years ago by order Of the
board of education when the assembly
hall was divided to make room for the
increasing number of pupils. The stu
dents now rent Mozart hall for their
plays, and none of their old scenery
fits the larger stage. They never make
enough money from their plays to pay
for the necessary scenery, so the stu
dents, under the direction of Miss Col
ter, prepared the new scenery them

REV. SEDGWICK PLACES
BAN ON GRAND OPERA
Members of st. Johns Church Ordered
to Properly Observe Holy Week.

Members Of st. Johns Episcopal
church who attend the grand opera
this week must do SO in full conscious
ness of a transgression Of religious
obligation, and in defiance of an ear
nest admonition from their pastor on
proper observance Of Holy Week.
Rev. Theodore Sedgwick, at the
morning service yesterday, delivered
special warning in which he made it
very plain that attendance at the thea
ter in Holy Week cannot be reconciled
with the regulations Of the Episcopal
church. He said that, in his opinion,
the members Of a church should live
up to it's precepts; and he consider
ed it the duty Of the members of this
church to properly observe Holy Week
as a season of fasting and prayer, and
to refrain from worldly pleasures. He
spoke of the events which are COM
memorated in the services of this week.
and of the significance of the services.
