In addition, it is charged, the city en-

II was losing money on its contracts

this, the letter says that the city has
repeatedly violated every section of the
contracts, and left the way open for the
company to throw them up if it should
so desire.
The letter charges that the engineer has
delayed estimates from time to time, so
that il has been unable to collect money

UNUSUAL DODGE OF NEW YORK
YOUNG WOMAN.

III, Then Hurried to Hospital
-oid Game of Falling from
Street Cars Worn Out.

Troy, N. Y.-Nellie Cummings. one
of the names given to a young woman
who goes about the country beating
the world out of a living, used to be
in the business of getting hurt. She
would fall off a street car, lie in an
apparently semi-conscious condition
in hospital, and finally when at last
she recovered sufficiently to talk
would tell of the loss of a fat purse.
Traction companies settled to avoid
suits. But it came about that she be-
came too well known to work that
game any longer. and after making
mess of it in several places. she ap-
parently tried somewhere else. She
arrived in Bingham recently and gave
sample of her new game there, al
though she is known in that city and
vicinity. This, according to a newspa-
per of that city, is how it happened:
Shortly before eight o'clock last
night the ticket agent at the Lack
awanna station telephoned the hos
pital and stated to the superintendent
that he had received a message from
point east of here, stating that a
young lady had been taken seriously
i'll on train No. and asking that an
ambulance be provided to take her to
the hospital as soon as the train ar
rived at the local station. The am
bulance was on hand when the train
arrived at the depot
The sick girl proved to be Miss
Cummings. She was very, very sick
from all appearance and the trip from
the station to the hospital was made
in quick time, the driver fearing that
his charge might die in the wagon
before he got her to the hospital
Nellie lived to be taken upstairs and
| placed in a nice, soft bed, however,
and she was also alive when Mrs.
Dryden questioned her as to the ma.
ture of her illness.
"Oh. l am so sick" said Nellie Il
have had terrible hemorrhage from
my stomach. | ought not to have at
tempted the journey. l have just been
discharged from the Roosevelt hos
pital in New York. and l thought that
| was strong enough to make the trip.
All of this was spoken in whispers
and punctuated with groans and sobs.
Mrs. Dryden was beginning to feel
real sorry for this poor unfortunate
and homeless girl. But when she eX-
amined the patient she failed to find
anything the matter with her.
1T may be a bad case of imagina.

Better days are ahead of Barthol-
dis Statue of Liberty, which was re-
ceived with so much ceremony from
France over 20 years ago. Since
that gala day in 1886. when the fair
god ddess in bronze received the plaud-
its of the nation, and was the cen
ter of admiring throngs, she has
been neglected. Nothing has been
done to stay the ravages of time, and
the corroding of the salt-steeped air

day she is perfect sight" as she
undoubtedly would exclaim. If en-

self mirrored in the surface of the

But her days Of poverty and neglect
are over. and now as ward of the ma

department. she is to be taken in hand
and such toilet as befits her station
in life and her physical conditions is
to be given her. The report is that
she is to be painted, and in this
she undoubtedly displays a feminine
weakness, for when the tell-tale
marks of time intrude their unwel-
come presence, where is the woman

But Capt. Burnell. who is in charge
of the statue, and under whose SUI

says the inside may be coated with

1t is only three years since the war
