Il. II. specht Has canteen Received
from His Enemy on July 1,
E1F#&3 81 1868.

Mr.. H. H. Specht,. clerk in the gen.
eral land office, was reminded of the
forty-third anniversary of the battle
Of Gettysburg, in which he partici-
pated, by finding among his relics OF
the civil war well-preserveds army
canteen. The discovery carried the
aged veteran in mind back to the
great battle that was fought on the
soil of his native state.
Mr. Specht was 9 member, Of COM
pany E of the~-One Hundred and
Forty-second Pennsylvania volun-
teers, and was wounded on the first
day of the battle, soon after Gen.
John F. Reynolds, who led the left
wing of the union army at the be-
ginning of the battle, was killed.
"This canteen," said Mr.. sSpecht,
"was handed to me filled with water
by confederate soldier as / lay

burg the 1st day Of July, 43 years

"shoplifter" a Puzzle.


The shoplifter is often the puzzle
to the matron of the Adams street
station They come in great numbers
from the poor, shabby woman, who
has stolen a few pairs OF socks, or
little frock for her baby, whom she
longs to have dressed like the babies
of her well-to-do neighbors. to the
woman of apparent wealth, who has
secreted some seemingly useless tr!fie.
One woman, faultlessly gowned and
of urdoubted culture and good breed
ing. who offered $500 not to- be made
to sleep in cell had been arrested
for taking three pairs OF 69-cent
gloves. She was indignant at her ar
rest, but she didn't deny the theft,
merely offered to pay for the gloves
That was case out of many such
that Mrs. Boylan recalls from her ex

Made Nursery Of Station.

One day not long ago a 14-year old
girl brought in dirty little baby and
said the child was lost. The baby
spent the afternoon peaceably sleep
ing on the big quilt the matrons keep
for the purpose, and about five o'clock
a man came in and asked the matron:
''Have you got for me a baby?'
The matron assured him that she
hoped it was for him, as she was anxi-
ors to turn the infant over to some
body. The baby was properly identi-
fed and the man started OF with It.
complacently, when the matron asked
where his wife was that she had left
the child uncalled for all afternoon.
She had gone out, the man answered,
and she had telephoned to him at his
place of work over in Manhattan to
cali at the police station on his way
home to get the babe. The man was
told very plainly that the next time
his wife wanted to go shopping she
was not to send her baby to the police
stations as a nursery.

TIE lauy was once q 0SNfo Wen
known in all the police stations, but
the lady" Is one of the figures that
has passed whose IifeNhurTi led her 70
aspitiful end before she reached what
should hars been her prime. Themar
irons Ill called her s.the lady, be-
cause even in her worst days she new
er looked anything but the lady, was
always well dressed and never came
to the police station without her we'll
fitting gloves carefully buttoned,
though sometimes she was picked out
Of the gutter in an almost hopelessly
sdeadened condition. Her story isFone
that might have been the thread OF
some of the stories one used to read
in the Sunday school libraries, though
it comes with much more force to
hear the police matron who saw her
in the last days of her degradation tell
it. -s. .
She had spent her girlhood in the
country at her fathers home upon the
Hudson, where they took city board
ers in the summer time. The girl was
as pretty as picture, had been caro-
fully reared and we'll educated. One
summer there came the Inevitable
man from the city that won the heart
Of the country girl, and they were
married and came to Brooklyn to live.
All went as happy as marriage bell
for a while. There was Z little girl
baby after whose coming the young
wife was not very strong, and the doc
tor ordered milk punches every day.
The young woman began to like the
punches and wanted two instead Of
one a day, then after while she be-
gan to take the brandy without the
milk and soon she found the habit
fixed on her strongly. The husband
bore with her and did everything that
could be done, but things went from
bad to worse until the habit fastened
itself SO that there was first visit to
the police station, and after the first
second and a third.
The woman, whose life had been
guarded as carefully as any girls
could be, who had been used in her
young days to take nothing stronger
than milk or sweet cider, began to be-
come used to the walls of a cell and to
bow in abject slavery to the taste OF
whisky Sometimes she would plead
with the matron to go and intercede
with her husband and promise better
things, and many a time has Mrs. Cox
gone with the plea Always It was
granted and the same result would
follow and "the lady" would be back
in the station. house crazed with drink.
The baby girl grew up into beautiful
young woman, who would come after
dark to visit her mother n the cell
ana plead with her. It was like try
ing to check the north wind. The pas.
sion swept down everything in its
pathway. One day Mrs. Cox was sent
for to come to a consumptive home.
and there she found .'the lady" in the
last stages of the disease. She wanted
to say goodby and to offer thanks for
the little kindnesses Of the old days.

GARBAGE RULES VIOLATIONS
Decarie Incinerator People Make
Complaint of CareIessness
of Many Persons

On request of the Decarie company,
which built and is operating the new
incinerator. the board of public works
will try to devise some plan whereby
every householder will be informed of
the provisions of the garbage ordi-
nance.
The Decarie company yesterday sent
a communication to the board, decar-
ing that many persons put their old
tin cans. bottles and other incombust-
ible materials in the same receptacle
with the kitchen garbage, and that this
is all dumped into the incinerator, con-
trary to the ordinance and the contract
this city has with the Decarie company.
The ordinance provides that COM
bustible and non-combustible materials
must be kept seperate. A penalty is
provided for violation of this ordinance
but it never has been enforced owing
to the fact that few householders are
aware of it.
If found feasible, the board probably
will have copies of this ordinance print
ed and distributed by the garbage col
lectors. After all have been notified in
this way, it is probable prosecutions
will follow violations

cruelty but the decree of divorce was

According to the order of the court
at that time, Plotts was to see his two

allowed to do so and the recent action
against his wife is based ON that

Judge Monroe Issues Order and Of

Her to Court Next
Friday

"If Mrs. Plotts imag gines that her
business is more important than the
business of this court she is mistaken.
A second order of contempt will be
issued and she will answer this charge
next Friday"
Such was the order of Judge Monroe
in department six of the superior court
yesterday morning after he had been
infomed that Mrs. Ina Plotts had de-
fed the order of the court and had re-
fused to make any explanation as to
to see his two babies.
When the citation ordering her to ap-
pear in court was issued more than
two weeks ago detectives were en-
ployed to serve the papers, but they
failed and Mrs. Plotts, with the aid of
her relatives, evaded the officers of
the law.
Every trick known to the Sherlock
Holmes fraternity of the local force
was used but to no avail and neither
the mother nor the children could be
located.
On several occasions the officers
went to Mrs. Plots rooming house on
West Third street and demanded to
see her, but each time they were taken
over the building and told to search
for themselves.
