LOOKS FOR A
HEAVY TRADE
Next Fortnight Will Bring
Fine Business.

1.-THE business in our line up to this
time has been fully as good as last
December, which we consider very
gratifying" said Mr.. Charles Fricker,
of James Fricker & Bro, jewelers.,
Yesterday, in discussing trade condl-
lions.
Last year." continued Mr. Frick-
or .the holiday trade opened in
besitating way and the outlook was
dubious until about ten days before
the holiday, and then trade jumped
into one of the best we have ever
had. We confidently look for re-
Detition of this, and even better trade
than in past years. The tact must
not be overlooked that our people
have made a fine crop, that prices
have ruled higher than last year, and
that, despite the general conditions
the local state of affairs has nothlhS
that is unfavorable to a highly sat
isfactory trade for the next fort
night.
Eve anticipated the largest trade
in the history of our store" continued
Mr.. Fricker, land to meet it laid III
the heaviest stocks we have ever car
ried visiting the great jobbing cen
ters while | was north for that pur-
nose AS a result we offer wide
range of choice goods to our friends
and patrons in the line of silyerware,
cut glass, jewelry of every kind, and
novelties. Our selection of gifts such
as silver picture frames, jeWelry
boxes. toilet sets, purses, bracelets,
rings. brooches, pins, clocks, cuff
buttons. candelabras, musical instru-
ments. flat silver watches, vases, etc,
is the most varied we have ever had,
both in design and the range Oh val
ues.
Il look for a very heavy trade from
now on, and | believe that our merch-
ants in all lines will enjoy an extern
sive patronage for the next TWO
weeks"

fifteen years Rev. Mr.. Snivey has la
bored In st. Chrysostom'ssfa parish. He
found 1t an abandoned mission in 1891.
Within five years he had erected the
present church building, which is only
n portlon-about one-half~-of the struc-
ture that had been planned. His relig-
ious enthusiasm and the charm Of his
personality attracted to him devoted
band of church workers, with whose aid
he accomplished marvels. Then came
the automobile craze and other schemes
Of Sunday diversion and he found him
self deserted by his wealthy parish
ioners. For ten years, according to the
pastor, the church hes made no pro
gress and he now steps out. to permit
some other man to assume the burden.
Rev. Mr.. Snively says that there Is a
steady decline all along the line in
church-golng and in enthusiasm for
church work. ut seems that the whole
world Is pleasure-mad. Where or when
1t will end nobody knows"

Exhaustive Treatise on Pnstimes o.
North American Aborigines.
A very learned German, DIR. Georg
F'riederici, has written a monumental
treatise on scalping. Not the scalping
that is done by the ticket brokers', but
the amusing pastime Of our North
American nborlgines. After an excess
sively careful study Of sources of In
formation DIR. Friedericl presents to
the world all that is to be known on
the subject
He shows how the practice was first
confined to very limited areas and how
In time It spread to ell parts of the
continent. He gives some study to kin
dred practices (such, for instance, as
the extraction of human teeth for neck
laees).
He even retails some unpleasant facts
about our revered Pilgrim fathers and
other white folk who helped along the
good cause of civilization by Offering
generous bounties for human scalps.
All In all, 1t Ia very halr-ralsing mar

OF course the book is the fruition of
years of labor. 1t is complete and, in
It's way, masterpiece. Humanity
knows so much already that the savant
must indeed look into out-of-the-way

ERPETRAToRs UNDETECTED
Five Hundred More Policemen
Needed to Protect Women
and Children.

Z NEW YORK, August 3.-The wave
of crimes against women and children
which has swept over New York for
the past fortnight has reached a stage
where heroic measures are called for
in the attempt to put "a stop to the
fendish work which has come to light
through the discovery Of several mur-
ders and a number Of assaults.
Acting Police Commissioner O'Ileefe
late to-day issued orders directing that
every plain clothes officer on the force
of the city lay aside all other. work
and devote himself entirely to an at
tempt to bring to Justice the pcrpe-.
traitors Of these crimes. Parents have
been advised to keep their children
under closer supervision. He will
ask for 500 additional officers.
The dozen or more attacks on chill
dren recently have struck terror into
the hearts OF mothers all over the city,
and scores of cases of supposed at
tempts at assaults have been reported
to the police which have no foundation
except In the fears of parents.
But In spite of the scores of cases
which have no foundation in fact,
there have been enough actual cases
of assault on children to cause the
police as well as parents much worry.
Another Suspect Held.
The police to-day arrested four bro
Tiers, Thomas. Louis. George and James
Exposition, believing that they could
throw some. light on the murder of little
Katie Tietschler, whose mutilated body
was found In cellar on FIRST Ave-
nue.. Later all but Louisi we're dis
charged Louis admitted that he had
been cutting wood in tho csllar whore
tho child's body was discovered the
day Katie disappeared. ~
He also admitted that he knew the
child and had often Hpoken to her.
Anna Messner, Rippolcne. tho shoe
maker, and Bonfanta, his assistant, are
still held by the coroner
Marias Sallo, an Italian, was arrest
ed to day on charge of an attempted
assault on a young girl IN Brooklyn.
Sallo seized her OH the street and tried
TO drag her into a vacant lot. The
girls screams brought a crowd, who
attacked Sallo. Policemen drove back
the crowd at the point of revolvers.
Victim StlH Unidentified.
The body of the young woman who
was found strangled and horribly mu-
tilated In an areaway In East Nine
tieth Street several days ago Is still
unidentified at the Morgue.
Frank Powers. proprietor of a lunch-
room, was arraigned lin Yorkville Court
to-day and held for further examina-
ton Three young girls one ten years
old and the other two each fourteen,
testified that Powers had offered them

LITTLE BOY RUN DOWN
Accident So Arouses Anger OF
Country People They In

Il CHICAGO, ILL, August 3.-AIobbed
by farmers after their big touring car
had accidentally run over little boy,
S b. Chaplin, a millionaire broker. and
two women companions, one of whom
was. Mr.. Chapin's wife, are said to
have been driven from the automobile
in the4vicinity of Deerficld, Ill. forced
tc stand and look on while the big
automobile was incinerated in a big
bonfire Mat the farmers built under
it and then compelled to55walk two
miles through the country before they
could find an accommodating driver
who would take them to Moraine Hotel,
i'll Highland Park
izcns at Deerfield to-day to clear UP
the mystery Of the destruction Of the
large touring car last Saturday, about
which little could be learned on ac-
count of the manner in which the own
ers of the car guarded the accident.
1t was stated on good authority to-
day, however. that the occupants OF
the car were young Louis F.. Swift
son of the millionaire packer; S. B.
Chaplin, a member of the brokerage
firm Of S. B. Chaplin & Company, with
offices in the Stock Exchange Building
In Chicago, and No. SGT Fifth Avenue
New York; Mrs. Chaplin and young
woman who has been visiting as a
guest at the Chaplin summer residence
in Lake Geneva.
1t is said that after the enraged
farmers burned the big automobile
they jeered the members of the party
refused to furnish them a conveyance
with which to5return to their homes
and declined even to sell a horse and
vehicle at any price.
The running down of the boy Is said
to have been entirely accidental and
unavoidable on the part of the auto
mobile party. 1t is said that as soon
as the accident took place the auto
mobilists stopped the car, returned tc
the spot where the boy lay and were
prepared to do all In their power to
help him when they fell into the hands
of the enraged farmers.
In fact. it is reported that even az.
ter the motorists had been subjected
to all this humiliation young Mr.. Swift
went back to Deerheld on the follow.

the hest of physicians, and offered to
indemnify him through his father tc
