Department Store Employees Tell How
She Got Goods by Confidence Game.
A pretty young Russian Jewess who says
she is Maud X. Weitzman was arrested
yesterday afternoon in Brooklyn. She
is, it is thought, the young person who has
yictimized a number Of Fulton street mer-
chants A dozen detectives had been
looking for her.
Yesterday a young woman bought silk
in one of the stores and directed that it be
sent to DR.. D. Murray at 459 Fulton street,
G. o. D. The parcel was given to John
Rogan for delivery. The address being con-
yenient he carried the parcel. and found
the young woman at the street door.
Il am so glad that you have come" she
said with smile that even arrest did not
rub off, go up and the doctor will pay you.
III mind the parcel"
Nay. nay. Pauline" said Rogan. a mas
ter Of the vernacular; Il must have the
money or the goods"
Coolly the young woman responded
well. go up and get your money from
the doctor and YOU can give me the parcel
when you come down."
The doctor told him he didn't know the
woman and, further, he wasn't paying
silk bills. Rogan hurried down stairs,
but the smiling young woman had gone.
He reported the matter to his superintend-
ent, who went out with Rogan and soon
located her in a store on Flatbush avenue.
The clerk said she was intensely respect
able and a patron Of his place. However,
she was handed over to Detectives Murphy
and Raleigh and was taken to Police Head
quarters.
Saleswomen, delivery boys and drivers
employed in department stores were sum-
moned. They said she was the person
who had got goods from them Under

Mrs Murray. Miss Newman, DC.
The pretty prisoner stood the gaze and
accusations of the salesfolk without even
blinking. remarking once:

sHONTs TELLS or CANAL PLANS
No Digging Until the transportation Facili-
ties Are Improved.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1s.-According to T.
P. Shonts, chairman Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, who has just returned to Wash
ington after a tour Of investigation and
inspection on the Isthmus, the engineers
in Panama have formed comprehensive
plan for the excavation of between 20, 900 900
and rs, 900 600 cubic yards Of dirt. When
this plan has been fulfilled others will be
made, and thus the work will be carried on
step by step to completion. Just now it
is quite impossible to estimate the percen-
tage of the whole the present plan for ex-
cavation comprises. 1t depends on the
style of canal to be built. This will be
determined next month when the board
OF advisory engineers meets.
To-day Mr.. Shonts said that he wanted
to have it known that the commission had
not stopped the actual work on the canal
because Of the urgent necessity to alleviate
the sanitary conditions. but because the
conditions are such that it is neither advis-
able nor polite to dig dirt" at this time.
He said that the preparations must be fully
completed before the work can be begun.
BY this he meant that with the present
waiting machinery, cars and working force,
much work could be done, but il such work
were carried on there would be great con-
gestion on account Of the lack Of facilities
for carrying the dirt away.
Mr.. Shonts said that he found the ter
minal facilities of the railroad and steam
ship lines in a wretched condition, but that
hoped soon to have conditions such that
the road can handle any commercial busi-
ness given to 1t as we'll az carry on the
business pertaining to the canal work.

Lizzie Sloan Explores Other Side Of Adams
Street and Comes Homo Heroine.
Two-and- a a-half-year-old Lizzie Sloan was
the heroine of Adams street, Brooklyn. last
night. Many made pilgrimages to her
home, and 1t will be many days before the
neighborhood quits talking about Lizzie's
miraculous-that's the word they used In
Adams street last night-escape from being
killed by trolley car.
Ever since Lizzie has been able to toddle
she has known lot about trolley cars.
Hundreds pass her home daily. Every
day her mother has warned her against the
cars, and her older sisters, to show their
authority, have echoed the mothers words.
Never was Lizzie to leave the sidewalk,
and to cross the street was absolutely for
hidden.
But Lizzie was in a venturesome mood
yesterday, and decided to see what the
other side Of the street looked like. She
made safe voyage across and finding that
side Of the street much like her own, started
back.
Down Adams street came a car jammed
up time. Lizzie had to get in front OF that
car. The fender scooped her up, bounced
her like a sprinsboard and tossed her into
the air.
The motorman slammed on his brakes,
the car stopped, the passengers were bowled
over and the little girl landed in the
fender again, her feet stretched out and her
hands holding tightly to her dress.
Il feel as II mama spanked me- lisped
Lizzie when they picked her up. Mama
hasn't a very hard hand, 80 you may know
how much Lizzie was hurt.

swollen and painful, and the disease
spread until it appeared on almost her
entire body. 1t affected her hands and
wrists and made housework out OF tho

covery.

OF dollars without any benefit, living IN
misery for years. with hair whitened
from gain and suffering, and body ter
ribly disfgured, friend came to her

edies if she would use them. But mother
was discouraged and without hope, and
said, Nothing will cure me, must die
with it, However, she began using
CuticuraSoap, Ointment and Resolvent,
and when she had used three bottles OF
Resolvent, five boxes Of Cuticurs Oint-
ment, and ten cakes Of Cuticura Soap,
she was entirely cured. Her hair re-
turned to its natural color, dark brown,
and she looked ten years younger.
