That He'll XIII Elevator Boy.

William Dean, a porter employed in the
Colonial Apartments, at Eighty-first street
and Columbus avenue, ran wild on the top
floor of the house last night and scared
some of the tenants, as well as frightening
a colored elevator hoy. Dean undressed
himself on the top floor. and when he had
taken off every stitch OF clothing rang for
the elevator.
When the boy opened the door OF the car
Dean grabbed him and dragged him into
the hall, saying he was going to kill the lad.
Dean had hatchet in one hand and a club
in the other He backed the frightened
boy in a corner and began to do a war
dance.
His whoops brought out some OF the ten
ants. The telephone to Manager W. l..
Smiths office was kept busy with messages
telling him to hurry to the elevator boys
aid
Smith found Policeman Burns Of the
West Sixty eighth street station. Dean
was still doing war dance around the boy
when Burns disarmed him.
SAY. I almost had that coon scared to
death" said Dean al the cop took him in
charge.
He was induced to get into his clothes
and then he was taken to the police station.
He talked so irrationally on his way there
that his captor began to suspect that he
was insane. From the police station he
was taken to Bellevue.

CIGARETTE PAPERS FREE.
they Go by Mail. Bushels Of En-, Into
Anti.Cigarette Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 23.-Ministers, little
children, and in some instances women,
have been surprised to receive packages OF
cigarette papers which are being sent into
this State by the thousand by some indus
trious manufacturers.
The packages come through the mails
and in every instance are enclosed n
small yellow envelope and each envelope
contains seven of the packages. On the
package Is printed the sentence; Keep
this yourself; don't give it away
Reports from every town in the State
show that the mails are burdened with these
cigarette papers, and in this city the local
post office authorities declare that the aver
age delivered daily is about five bushels.
Parents whose children have received
them, and some OF the ministers to whom
packages were sent, called at the post Office
and protested against such deliveries at
their homes, but the postmaster informed
them that it was his duty to deliver the
packages to the addresses on the envelopes
The manufacturer sending them into the
State is not liable to any law, but his pur-
pose Is evidently to advertise certain
brand of tobacco whose virtues are exploited
on every package.
So many of the packa yes are sent to wrong
addresses or to persons who have moved
that it is believed that some old city direc-
tory is being used as guide in mailing,
especially as thousands are reaching per-
sons who never smoked cigarettes at'all
Those who do smoke are getting the paper
free and cigarettes are as plentiful as though
no law against them existed.

TO send to the Legislature the special mes

Some Of Gov. Higgins's friends, as well as
the Governor himself, had believed all
along that Supt. Hendricks had full power
to bring to light all wrongdoing and doubted
the wisdom Of an investigation by joint
legislative committee, because OF the per-
sonal temptations and so on and so on.
Supt. Hendricks, however, in difference
to certain demands for legislative in
qury, influenced Gov. Higgins to change
his attitude in the matter.
1t is true. 1t was Furthermore said, that
demands had come from other quarters
for a legislative investigation, @but,' 1t was
added these came from the usual graft
quarters and were made for graft purposes
after certain demands to stave OF legis-
lative investigation had been peremptorily
refused"
The keenest interest was expressed by
Republicans and Democrats in finding out
who is to be the counsel for the legislative
committee. The Senate members OF the
