One thing which impressss a casual
observer forcibly is the fact that al
though every preeaution possible is
taken by the police to spprehend pocket
book snatchers ana pickpockets, yet
very many persons seem TO daily place
temptation in the way Of such gentry,
rendering it remarkable that offenses
Of this nature are not more frequent.
Just the other day 1 observed four
young women, apparently clerks or
cashiers, IN Market street, hurrying to
the banks. each holding in her hand
a bank book with numerous bills %
large denomination showing at the
ends. If a person had been so dis
posed it would have been an easy
matter TO got the money and then by
mingling with the passing CROWD
in order 10 escape. Another
standing invitation TO the light
fingered IS the habit Of many ladies' to
wear expensive watches pinned to
their waists.
I'm my opinion crime Of this nature
would decrease If the opportunities for
us commission were fewer.
Yours respectfully,

ject there was In holding this test was
known only TO the men who conducted
il. II could not have been for the pur-
pose Of deciding the efficiency Of the
local department, for that is a well

incredulous that the Fire Department

percentage required by the insurance

rates IN this city were advanced in

been done, and the supposition now is
that the rates win be advanced an

efficiency the department may attain
the rates must go up, and the holding
Of tests is merely q sham. The tests

THE OLD CLOTHES MANI

The latest thing in wallops was illustrated to the big matinee audi ence at Polls this afternoon by James Kyrle McCurdy, who present ed himself as the star of his own play, The Old Clothes Man" It ia not often that medodramatic piece offers a better bit of character work than that done by MT MacCurdy as the old Hebrew clothes dealer. In makeup, action, gesture and speech MacCurdy is typical citizen of the Ghetto, and his Solomon Levi is of itself sufficient entertainment with out the excellent setting in which the play is cast. It is in the by-play and everyday life of the shop that Mir MacCurdy makes his real hit, how ever, and he invests the character of the disreputable looking old clothes dealer with a certain dignity and charm which pertains to the under lying strain of noble character that Is in the man. His absorbing love for his daughter is finely done and his reverence and grief for his dead wife are also strongly portrayed. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents for to-night's performance. Telephone 116-2.

WAY DOWN EAST. ,

Way Down East " is to be pro- duced at Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening. It is combination of domestic and dramatic, plain story of plain people. The theme, full of human interest, and the personages drawn with no little skill. Many have likened it to Shore Acres" and ''The Old Homestead" and declare it superior to either. The moral it teaches is not hung up like sign board, but is left for the auditor to deduce with desire that he may enjoy the methods which lead to conclusions. Every role has been placed in the hands of an actor pe- culiarly fitted to the character, while all the mechanical effects. the appur- tenances and the celebrated village choir that attended to make the metropolitan production success are retained, and will be given iden- tically the same in the coming en- gagement in this city. Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 and S1; matinee 25, 35 and 75 cents. Telephone 116-2.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The biggest girl act ever offered as vaudeville attraction in this city is that presented by the Red Raven Cadets. who are the top-line attrac- ton of the bill at the Jacques this week. Up to this time the Eight vassar Girls held the record for numbers, but the Cadets are sixteen, with another for a leader. and they are as comedy as they are numerous. The stage space at the little theater is by no means small. but every inch of it Is used in mounting the act. When a musical turn can return again and again to the same play house with hardly an additional bit creased enthusiasm at every visit. 1t must be extraordinarily good. That is the story of the act which Smith and Fuller are offering to local vari- ety lovers for the fourth season, and the reception which the selections are meeting is most amazing. Mfr Smiths playing on freak instruments of his own contrivance is pleasing. and Miss Fuller's songs and harp solos are, as always. rapturously ap- plauded. The Mason-Kelly combina- ton in The Onion Trust" Is proving one of the biggest laughing hits of the season and between Mir Mason's fat Dutchman and the imaginative funnyisms of Mir Kelly the audience Is in a state of mysteries most of the time. Spaulding. the man with the eur; ReIff brothers. hard shoe danc- ing experts: Adamini and Taylor. high class vocalIsts: Allen-Lelroux and company in the dramatic com edy sketch "The Victor" complete the program. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents. Afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

 buttons from Lou Payn.

Unexpected confirmation of the charges made by Hamilton regarding insurance contributions to campaign funds was supplied by Lou" Payn. Payn's statements on this subject are regarded as authoritative. He said:
 T don't suppose as a matter of fact that the $148,000 the New York Life directors have volunteered to make good represents any large share of the contributions of this company. Why, l don't believe that this sum would even cover the mount contributed to Senator Platt. Mind, don't know Hamilton person.
 fly and don't know his bent of
 hind. but I read his speech and
 now he told good many truths; in fact, as I think it over, I don't know that he made any misstate- ments. The thing that actuated him, of course, was the manner in which JohnsA, Mccall was treated; they were close, friends. Of course, every body knows that insurance compan- ies did not stop at national cam paign contributions. They contrib uted to state elections, yes, and to municipal elections in the city of New York. and believe in other local elections.
 This contribution business is not confined to insurance companies either: they all do the same thing and they don't tell their stockhold- CTS about it. I personally know of one corporation which subscribed $50, 900 to the republican and $75.- 900 to the democratic fund in a sin gle year, and 1t was not an insurance company. either. They always have done this and they always will. not withstanding the present uproar. You will see when the fellows get into q spirited campaign they will sit down together and plan how they can reach the corporations. and the re- suit will be just like the past"

MAKING SARATOGA CHIPS.
Not All Work of Cooking Potatoes
 This Way Is Done by Machinery.

Making potato chips-the Sara toga chips of commerce-is one busi- | ness that is not in danger of being monopolized by any concern. In most of the cities will be found half dozen or more small establish ments where 1t is proftably conduct ed.
 It does not require much equip ment. In a typical establishment are half a dozen women busily engaged in peeling the tubers. There is machine that does the trick nicely, but most of the manufacturers pre- fer hand labor. An expert peeler can dispose of the potato's jacket in almost as short a time as can the machine. A five-gallon measure stands on a chair by each worker. A special kind of knife is used. which rubs of the skin with absolute uni formity.
 The chipping or slicing Is done by machinery. Usually hand power is employed. The potatoes are dumped into a hopper. and by turning the handle it requires but few minutes to slice them into bits Of required thinness. These fall in a pile and from there are shoveled into the vat
 This Is a great iron kettle contain ing several gallons of liquid kept al the boiling point Within the kettle hangs a large perforated vessel that looks like a dish pan. which can be raised or lowered by operating a lever controlled by a piece of rope at the end. In this vessel are placed the slices. A hot fire is kept going during the browning process, and the liquid Es stirred constantly Co prevent burning. In a few minutes the chips are done and the mass turned out into a big tub.

flaws of Ktiqustts Apt to Be Broken Quickly by One That Lacks
 Good Home Breeding.

Like the attention . child Is trained to give to Its psIson should be that called to certain rules of good breed- ing at homo. There are many who adopt an extremely polite air to strangers that fail in the first appli- cation of courtssy to the family, says Hortense Provost
 The man that is not polite to his wife should not be surprised if his sons show the same lack of deferencs to their mother. nor should he feel hurt if that same lack is shown to him personally. az children are great mimics.
 The girl who is not reared to be po- lite to her father. mother. sisters and brothers will just as surely be guilty of breaking the laws of etiquette in her treatment of other people as op- portunity affords. A thin veneer of good manners breaks very soon when worn by person who nas not been used to its polish, and the boor shows plainly.
 Just why relations should think 1t not worth while to be polite to one another is not quite clear; but 1t is the rule, apparently, and many seem to think 1t is not necessary to be courteous to ones own family. By courtesy is meant more the observance of small things. like holding open door, or placing 6 chair. or lifting the hat, from the men and boys to their feminine kin the regard for an ex- pressed opinion. the pleasant recogni- ton and the smile from the women and girls to their -men folks," to use . homsly. but proper appellation.
 If man is visiting. say at a house party, what vouli be thought of him if he failed to give a morning saiu- tation to other gacsts, Yet some men do not hesitate to bring only sour looks and fault-nndings for the matu- tinal greetings in their own homes.
