TWO DOLLARS 4 MINUTE
Record Made by One of Y. NJ. C. 4.
Committees Today.

Two dollars per minute is the record
which one of the committees appointed
from among the business men of the
city to raise a $4,000 furnishing fund
for the Y. M. c. A. made in collecting
subscriptions during the last twenty
four hours. The campaign is now at d
crisis If $322.50 is not raised this
afternoon the average of $1,000 day
which has been thus far maintained
will not be attained Strenuous en-
deavor will be made to raise the odd
$500 and judging from the record made
thus far failure will not result.
Five hundred dollars was raised, ac-
cording to the reports submitted. at the
luncheon hour at the Copeland today.
since noon Of Monday It was a day OF
small gifts the largest reaching $50,
of which there were two and from that
it scaled down to SIS. Six of $25 each,
one of $40 and another of $50 are
some of the larger amounts received
The gifts come in all shapes, IN

suburbs to the city. Another large
subscription of $500 is in sight and
from present indications is assured.
All sorts of excuses are advanced by
persons who are approached to sun
scribe. Some haven't any use for the
Y NJ c. A or its work and they turn
a deaf ear to its needs-anOther man
of considerable wealth stated that he
did not care to subscribe because he
had not yet reached the condition of
wealth which he had set out for him
self: because he was not wealthy yet
he didn't want to give anything.
The presentation of the subscription

other mans character.

A pleasant time was had in police
court last evening The subjects of the
case were pair of negro women. Wit
ness and defendant. Ella Turner had
been arrested for stealing u bones in
good American money from her ex-
landlady. Blanche Peacher. Both wo
men are well known to the police, and
it was standoff as far as they were
personally concerned. It seems that
the Peacher woman left a certain
amount of money in her trunk. and
upon counting it later found that the
sum was ST. shy. Hastily arranging
her Sunday hat she fed to Professor
Palmer, an occult dealer. who has a
guessing studio on Quincy street. She
enquired about her 12-spot. and was
answered like this: The coin YVES col
iectcd by one wearing light Jacket
and black dress. She formerly made
her residence with you.
This was a perfect description of
Ella Turner, and Blanche tagged her
self to the police court and secured a
warrant.

From out the north; last night l saw
The crescent moon hang low
Above the trees and dreamed dream
y dream of long ago.
l dreamed a dream of long ago,
OF live oaks spreading wide.
OF poplars tall, ensiihouette;
OF moonpath on the tide.
\ dream of you with golden hair,
And blue eyes by my side.
Aye, spite of old resolves, l dreamed
OF winding ways and you,
a dream of kisses on the mouth
And hollyhocks and dew;
l dreamed the old, old dream again.
The dream that won't come true.
l wonder If the dead dream dreams
For to you am dead.
As dead ii all stark and cold
With stone above my head
l lay in cerements all white
Within my narrow bed
And. yet. l dream these bootless dreams
When springs first violet
Smiles blue, and when the crescent moon
Is near the dark trees set;
These dreams of you'll wonder if
The truly dead forget?
