SIN OF THE STREETS.
Young Criminals In the Making and
 New York's Juvenile Court.

Young Criminals In the Making and
 New York's Juvenile Court.
 A day spent in New Yorks children's court will never be forgotten. Here all the youthful offenders are tried. Into this court crowds more of human interest than in any other court in the world. Before it's bar is constantly passing great procession of human incongruities, scenes vibrant with pa thos and humor, for both pathos and humor consist in the perception of incongruities. It is the sins of the parents and the sins of the living con ditions that the overcrowded city forces on its children that here stand out most strikingly. The real culprit is more often the delinquent parent than the delinquent child. The sight of child trotting to q saloon two or three times day, pail in hand, to procure the family supply of beer-a familiar one in a great city-impeaches the parent for a criminal indifference. Small wonder that the child's moral perceptions are obliterated and his in stincts perverted in such surroundings. It is in the streets. the vice sown streets. that the child learns to gam ble, to swear, to steal. He cannot help 1t. He must employ the ways of his companions if he is to survive among them. And the ways of his compan- ions lead oftenest to the children's court.-Delineator.

SLIGHT. IMPROVEMENT.
Emperor Francis Josephs Doctors
 Think He Will Recover.

Vienna, Oct 10.-The condition of Emperor Francis Joseph showed a slight improvement this morning. He passed good night, but there is still considerable fever and some signs of apathy. His majesty passes his time in a chair, often falling asleep during the day. The doctors hope that his strong system will enable him to overcome the attack of bron- chial catarrh which caused so much anxiety on the part of his entour- age.
 It can no longer be concealed that the emperor is seriously ill He is suffering from bronchitis, accom- panied by fever, but he is struggling gallantly against the malady. The symptoms of inflammation through the back are growing and occasion ally nervous spells occur. The doc tors, however, place confidence in the strong constitution of the aged pa tient. The emperor's nature is that of soldier. He dislikes to admit being ill and causes the doctors much trouble by opposing their di- rections. His devotion to duty ex- cites the admiration of the court. To-day he rose at 30 as has been his custom for years, and began to work immediately. He read and signed documents and personally received the. reports. of court officials. The doctors begged him to retur ntto bed and take a longer rest. but he re- fused and seated himself in a chair, where he appeared to rest comfor- tably in spite of the fact that he con tinued to suffer from fever
 Later the Hungarian premier, Dr Weckerle. was also admitted to the emepror's presence. but when his ma pesty began talking a fit of coughing obliged him to terminate. the inter- view.
 It is possible that the emperors S illness may cause postponement of the approaching visit of the King and Queen of Spaiu.

Irish Sarcasm.

A happy and humorous example of sarcasm as apart from repartee is af. forded by the following anecdote. quote 1t on the authority of friend, who, I am afraid, was the villain of the incident: A most imperturbable man was followed from Westmorela street. Dublin, over the O'Connell bridge to the general postoffice by two little street arabs, who importuned him for the end of his cigar. Throw us the butt. sir! An, sir, throw us the buttr' cried the youths. but as the man did not betray the slightest conscious ness of their existence they gave him up at last in despair and disgust. Ar rah. let him alone" said one. with the most scorching scorn. "Shure. it's a butt he's picked up himself"
 I once heard a bumptious little man, who, acting as steward at athletic sports in Dublin, was very assertive in keeping back the crowd. thus ad- dressed by an angry spectator: If ihe consate was taken out of yez. ye'd be no bigger than a green g0cseDcTEy. and ye're as SOFT as wan already"- London Standard.

WORRIED OVER DAUGHTER.
No Tidings Yet From Woman Who
 Went Away With Clarkson.

Sea Girt, N. J., Oct 10.-No news from the missing Helen Maloney has yet been received by her father or mother.
 Mr. and Mrs. Maloney, who are two of the most prominent Catholics in this country, are worried more than ever as to the whereabouts of their daughter. A copy of a message from England was taken to the Maloney home in Spring Lake, and word was sent in re- ply that neither Mir. nor Mrs. Maloney knew where their daughter was.
 The marriage of Miss Maloney and Clarkson was supposed to have taken place in New York. but no one could be found there who knew anything about it nor was it possible to find out whether the couple had been married. Neither Miss Maloney nor Clarkson carried dress suit case when leaving the Maloney home in Spring Lake to go to New York. and it was learned that the young woman had only a small amount of money with her.
 Whether Clarkson had any money is not known. It was said by member of the Maloney family after the sup posed elopement that Clarkson was from a wealthy English family, and Mrs. Maloney added that she was not particularly prejudiced" against the young man. A cable message received from London said Clarkson was un- known there and that if he came of a wealthy English family it was one that was entirely unknown in social and financial circles.
 In the office in Philadelphia of the father of the young woman it was said Maloney had not been there in several days. Maloney's secretary said his en- ployer believed his daughter was on the Majestic and if she was not on the vessel then Maloney didn't know where she was.
 When Mrs. Maloney left her home in Spring Lake to meet her husband in New York she carried with her a special delivery letter addressed to the husband. which she thought was from the daughter Mrs. Maloney said then she had not opened the letter, but would wait for her husband to do so. as it was addressed to him.
 Maloney was with President Roose- welt in St. Louis when he received word of the supposed elopement of his daughter. He was to have accom- panied the presidential party on the trip down the Mississippi. but instead he hastened to New York. and al- though he refused to discuss the ab- sence of his daughter from home member of his family intimated that the special delivery letter had been opened and that it contained the infor- nation that Miss Maloney and Clark son had been married and that they had sailed for Europe on the Majestic.

ROBBERS FOILED
Aged Watchman Battled With Them Until He Was Beateu Almost IDseHsible
A CLERK SUSPECTED

New York, Oct 10.--An aged watchman's faithful performance of his duty, even when death threaten ed, prevented a robbery early to-day, which, if it had been successful, those familiar with the case say, would have caused a sensation al- most as great as that which followed the footing of the Manhattan bank many years ago. Richard F. Grey watchman in the lofty Century build ing at 74 Broadway, near the center of the financial district, was the hero. He is now in the Hudson street hospital suffering from wounds which he received in desperate single handed fight against two robbers who attacked him while he was making his rounds on the nineteenth floor of the Century building a few hours after midnight. Although sixty years old, Grey made determined fight, and it was not until he had been pounded almost unconscious that he was overcome. Even then he refused to reveal the hiding place of the keys to the hundreds of offices in the great building. In their desperation the robbers chloroformed the old man as he lay bleeding on the floor aud then began a systematic search of the low CT portion of the building for the missing keys. Apparently they were unsuccessful in their search. for when Grey revived and staggered down the nineteen flights of stairs to the base ment. the men had disappeared. When the police came in response to his alarm the first thing they did was to call an ambulance to have the bat tered watchman removed to q hos pital. Grey gave a good description of his assailants and the police be- lieve they will be captured.
 A detective who had a talk with Grey is of the opinion that a clerk at one time employed in the building was the instigator of the attempted robbery and that his companion was an expert bank thief. If these men had gotten the keys from the watch man." said the detective they would have done job that would have made the Manhattan bank robbery look like cheap affair. They were after one safe in that building and that was all they wanted. They knew that the securities in that safe were worth untold thousands and they also knew that to. attempt, to force the door would ring the burglar alarms and that in, an instant the building would be surrounded by po- lice" s.. --
 Scores of extra detectives and ad- ditional police from a dozen stations were on guard in the financih dis trict to-day. A cordon of men was thrown around the district bounded by Wall and Cedar and Nassau and Greenwich streets. and a searcn was made in all buildings in that terri tory into which the police could force their way. hut no trace of the des- peradoes could he found '-

 The pope is understood to have hesitated before granting the dispen- sation owing to the similar promises in regard to the bringing up of chil- dren in the Catholic faith which have not been kept, notably in the case of the Princess Marie of Orleans. a Catholic, who was married to Prince Vladimir of Denmark in 1885 and whose sons have been brought up as Protestants, the religion of their father.
