FOR STEALING BICYCLES
Hartford Police Get Han Who Has
 Been Wanted Some Timr.

Hartford, July 13.-Chief Sherideu arrested George Gillis yesterday morn ing on the charge of stealing bicycle and it is the chiefs opinion that he has got the man who has been making free with wheels in South Manchester for several weeks. Gillis was in the police court some time ago on charge of breach of the peace and sentence was suspended on condition that he make weekly reports to the probation officer. He failed to do this and Con- stable Smith went after him. but when the constable came to the front door Gillis went out of the back door. Later Constable Rood went after him and Gillis jumped through window. Last Thursday he left town with a companion and two bicycles left their owners at the same time. Tuesday Gillis was seen here again and Chief Sheriden went to his house at o'clock yesterday morning with Con stables Rood and Smith after him. The chief found the young man in bed with his clothes on and awoke him, when Gillis jumped out of bed on the ol. posite side from the chief and crawled under it. After the chief had dodged from one side of the bed to the other several times he waited until Consta- ble Smith came in and the capture was then made. Gillis was in court yester- day morning and his case was contin- ued until Friday.

FOOLED TInEKEEPER.
Girls Who Go the Factories Without Hats.

The bosses in some of the factories
 are trife behind the times else they
 would be aware that the millinery
 business is fast becoming lost art and that in time it will be the real thing for girls to go to work without the regulation hat. A timekeeper i'll one of the factories never heard Of this
 until the other day when he came nea-
 making an error that might have cost
 him his job. For years ne managed to find out how many were late or didn't come in at all by looking over the rack where the girls leave their hats and sacques and found the plan
 6 great labor saver. If girls hat was not in its accustomed place that was sufficient for him. She was dock ed and that was all there was to it. Recently the girls have commenced to discard hats Of the street and else where. but the timekeeper in question didn't know for nearly week and had been marking girls absent that were working right along Re caught onto the mistake himself yesterday when he saw a girl whom he knew at the bench and recollected that he had not noticed her hat in the rack. This led to au ,r,- vestigat,on with the result that a very large number of the help do not wear their hats to the shop and as h conse- |quence the timekeeper got fooled and from now on he will have to call and look at the girls instead of contenting himself by rumaging through the hat room. You can't tell what the ghlS |are thinking of. They don't want any kind of headgear now, but for all one can tell they may be wearing hats as |big as bushel baskets next fall. Dame |Fashion is fickle and that's the reason |the fair sex take so much stock in her.

ROYAL ARCANUM
Official Bulletin Comes Ont Strong = - For Ney Rates.

The official bulletin of the supreme council of the royal arcanum, just is- sued in Boston. has a number of arti- cles in support of the new rates. It says that under the old plan, there is no equitable basis for adjustment of rates; the annual cost for haphazard, liable to be increased at any time, and in the end becomes prohibitive to both old and new members. Under the new plan the cost for each age for the whole life has been determined as closely as it can be. and the rates are scientifically adjusted for whole life for each age at admission. It says further:
 The assessment plan. pay as you go, chipin policy, is all right for the tlrst twenty-five or thirty years, when the bulk of the membership is young and fresh from medical selection. But it will not work successfully in tile sec ond generation when the age-1istribu- ton ranges as high as S5 or 50, when the average age is 50 and very large proportion have passed 60. It would be unfraternal to attempt to do busi- ness in the second generation on rates adequate only for the first generation.
 In an editorial upon the uppermost question in the order the oh4cial jour nal says:
 If the membership do not like the new rates the way for them to be changed is through the representatives in the supreme council and the next annual session of that body may adopt new rates more satisfactory to the ma jority of the membership. The su- preme council will welcome the full est investigation of the new plan by the membership. being satisfied that the more it is investigated the more 1t will be liked. The newspapers have magnified the excitement in different parts of the country very much. The member who denounces the supreme officers and the supreme council in the heat of discussion is given a big head line and his utterances are spread be- fore the public in flaming type: but the thinking member, who quietly reads the literature and does not par tscipate in the protest. is not heard from and is not represented in the pa- pers

BACHELORS TAKE NOTICE
Woman Has Houss Furnished d-All
 Except the Husband

Any fellows in this town who wish to get married? To step into house presumably nicely equipped. for in- stantaneous house keeping and every thing paid for. The lady in the case is willing to pay for the ring, the mar riage certificate, the clergyman's fee and all the other incidentals. Anyone wish to get married on this plan! If there happens to be just step around to the office of Attorney Guilfoile, third floor, Odd Fellows building any day and he will get all the necessary in- formation, at least all that Mir Gull foile has. But after reading this it may save the candidate trip. Mir Guilfoile having half an hour off last evening occupied it by stirring up memories of the sea shore and wonder ing what kind of a girl this summers girl is going to be. In this blissful state of mind he was when two wo fair land of Poland. and they were as fair as the land of kossuth is supposed to be. One of them could speak the tongue of the country very we'll and the other only indifferently. The for mer began the conversation assisted by her companion. The opJect of the'' visit was that the younger who was unable to speak the language as well as the other, wished to engage Mi Guilfoile to find her a husband. Tax ing a humorous view of the matter NIT Guilfoile asked her what kind of husband would she want and she, also smiling said he would be all right if he looked like Mir Guilfoile. This was throwing them over the plate. How ever, it was finally ascertaned that the woman had house already furnished in the Brooklyn district, that she was to have been married some weeks ago, but the groom that was 70 be became faint hearted and fled the town, and seeing that the furniture was bought and everything ready for housekeeping, the woman thought she could easily fill the place in her heart that was desert ed by her recreant sweetheart Mir Guilfoile was never in such a fix but the only way he saw an opening to escape was by promising to do what he could and with this assurance the two women went away. The applicant for a husband is about thirty and rather attractive.

POLITICAL TALK.
Democrats Who Are Considered
 Available Timber.

Nothing sets the boys talking like little politics. Some say they don't care about the subject, but just the same it is hard to find anybody who hasn't opinions of his own on such matters, and even though he may not care to parade them, you can generally tell where he stands. This was very plain to many last night when con- ments were made regarding the prob able re-nomination of MT Elton for mayor. Almost everybody who cared to talk on the question feels sure that the business administration will be turned down in most unceremonious manner this fall and the management of the city turned over to others
 It is said that already great deal of work has been done in the several wards by democrats who favor the nomination of William E. Thoms for mayor. Until the last week there didn't seem to be anybody else men tioned, but now you hear the names of George W. Beach and A. H. Wells as often as that of Mir Thoms. The prin- cipal argument offered in favor of Mir Wells is his knowledge of city affairs and the fact that he is one of our self-made men. a manufacturer who has forged his way to the front ill spite of great many obstacles. He is conservative and bosses in the fac tories would not be able to say that he was not an employer of labor. It is not known whether MT Wells is in the running or not, but it is suspected that he wouldn't refuse the honor in case it should be offered to him.
 It is admitted that George w. Beach would command votes in certain sec tions where it would be hard to find any other democrat that would cut much of figure, but there appears to be some question as to whether he would get out and hustle and stir ur the kind of enthusiasm necessary to wake people up to a sense of their duty. Tn every other respect he is re- garded as an ideal man to head the ticket and some of the wise heads want to see him lead the party this fall
 Something happened the past week or so that interfered with the plain sailing MT Thoms was said to have in nearly all the wards Some of the leaders have deserted him, with or without cause does not appear quite clear to those on the outside. but even at that he has a strong backing and there are people betting today that his ticket will win out in all the wards with the possible exception of the fifth, and his overthrow there isn't an assured thing There are great many cooks around the pot in the democrat ic camp, so many that those who look for democratic success at the polls fear they will tip the vessel over and that the other fellows will get in again while the democrats are investi- gating the cause of the upset and nursing their sore spots. But there is not much reason to think so. Solid republicans claim that if- the demo- crats do the right thing in the conven- tons they will give them hand ar the polls, so that really with good ticket there does not appear to be any reason why the outs should not dis lodge the ins and assume control of the city government next January.

SUPT. MARION
 A KNOCKER
Jules Marion Knocked All Lower Riv- CT Mining Camps But The Nurse At Circle Taxes Him To Task

Jules Marion, N. c. mail superinten- dent, made a round trip the past win- from Dawson to Panama and on his re- turn to the former city, poured into the ears of reporter on the Dawson News wealth of transformation of the lower river mining camps. 1t was all knocks, and if the published inter- views were quoted correctly, Marion intended them as such, for he is better informed. In the open letter to the Dawson News. portion of which we publish below, Miss Woods, nurse of the Episcopal hospital at Circle, takes him to task for that part of his misin- formation touching that place.
 ''I don't think that Mir. Marion saw the throat of auy one diptheria patient in Circle If he had seen one he evil dently would not nave been so sweep ing in his judgment. As soon as an Indian or child was i'll, word was sent to the mission, and if the case proved to be diptheria, the patient was prompt ly isolated in the Indian hospital and cabin and people cleansed and fumigat- ed before visiting was again allowed.
 1.-The diptheria hung around Circle from September till February because of the careful isolation and sanitary precautions, and the repeated re-infec- tion from Ft. Yukon. Three times I had it under control and three times it was again brought to us. It is now entirely stamped out. Every cabin and thing and person has been throughly cleaned and fun1igated, not to remove filth but to exterminate the diptheria germ. If Mir. Marion had to pay their soap bill, even the mission soap bill, [ am sure he would modify his express ions. ' Miss Woods. Grace Hospital.
