"BLACK CLOAK MYSTERY"
is KISSER AND HUGGER
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
MIDDLETOWN, Pa, May 29.-Thls
town is getting wrought up over
what is termed "black cloak mys-
terry" The police refer to the leading
actor as the "black cloak man." but
as yet no one has found out positively
whether the person is man or a
woman. But, whether male or female,
the "black cloak mystery" is following
the tactics of Jack the Hugger," and
"Jack the Kisser," and is keeping
voune girls home after dark or COM
pelling those who venture out to OBJ
tain an escort.
During the past week four young
women have been victims. Three man
aged to get away and one was chased
Saturday evening and reached her
home in an almost exhausted condi-
ton.
The unknown frequents dark dis
tricts and wears a cloak that almost
touches the ground. over the head is
a hood He waits behind trees, in small
alleys or on a corner, takes his VIC
tins about the waist and tries to kiss
them. Two of the victims did not re-
port the occurrence until they learned
of others having met the mysterious
person.
one young woman said she believed
II was a. woman, but the others are of
the opinion that it is the same person
who annoyed young girls in similar
manner some months ago
The authorities are on the lookout
for the "cloak man." so are several
irate fathers and brothers and there
will be trouble should he be caught

TO MANICURE CATS
OF SOCIETY WOMEN
Special to The Herald.


CLEVELAND. May 29.-Society
women have decided to establish a
manicuring parlor for their pet cats.
One hundred of them, all members of
the Cleveland Cat club, met and de-
cided that their pets, upon which they
place a high value and some of which
have won prizes not only in Cleveland
shows but elsewhere, should be given
better treatment than is afforded by
the limited means in the average
home.
This will be the first manicuring par
lor for cats in the world and the Cleve-
land women backing it hope to interest
women in other cities in the plan. The
Cleveland women will place a compe-
tent veterinary surgeon in charge of
the parlor and he will have as assist
ants experts who understand the care
that should be bestowed upon fancy
feline. The cats claws will be kept
pllable, short and clean, as becomes So
cial felines. No self-respecting Cleve-
land cat will hold up his head hereafter
unless he has been to his manicure.
The cat club has placed the matter of
establishing the manicure parlor in the
hands of DR.. w. c. Fair.
1--WE believe that disease is carried
under cats nails" said Mrs. Stephen
Buhrer, president of the club and one
of the social leaders of the west side.
tonight, ''and often much damage is
done by cats to other cats through
unkempt claws. We have left the es-
tablishment of a manicure parlor in
the hands of DIR. Fair and believe that
immense good will result from the
project"

GATHER
At BIG BANQUET
ALTON B. PARKER ACTS AS
PRESIDING OFFICER
Former Judge Wallace, Who Was on
Bench Quarter of Century, Says
Existing Conditions Are
Terrible
By Associated Press.

| By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May ga notable
gathering of judges, state and federal
| did honor at the Waldorf Astoria to
night to Federal Judge William j. Wal
lace, who has retired after over {
quarter of a century on the bench
The dinner, attended by some 500 per
sons. was given by members of the
bar of the state of New York. Formei
Judge Alton B. Parker presided Those
present included Judge James E. La.
come of the United States circuit court
Wayne e. McVeigh of Philadelphia, j
E. Colt of Rhode Island and Judge
Horace e. Lurton of the Tennessee
federal bench.
Judge Wallace said in part:
"It is seriously proposed by a large
element in one of our political parties
and the opinion is advocated by its
most conspicuous leader-one who is
likely to be it's candidate for the pres
idency-to abrogate the life tenure OF
the judges of the circuit and district
courts and to substitute an elective
judiciary.
mo blow more fatal than this could
be aimed at all that is valuable in the
existing condition. 1t is provoked
largely by the courage of these judges
in restraining the lawless acts of trade
unions and in protecting the enforce
ments of state legislation which they
believe to conflict with the guarantees
of the federal constitution. 1t would be
better to abolish these courts altogether.
They would not be federal courts in any
true sense because the judges would be
merely the selection of the localities of
their jurisdiction and would reflect local
influences.
Time Is Near
"The times are near when the courts
of this country are to be more than ever
the sanctuary of that justice which ad-
ministers the law according to the or
dained principles of our form of govern
ment The will of the majority is not
law when it transcends constitutional
limitations. In many of the states that
will is now threatening the rights of the
minority and has already compelled
legislatures, under the guise of protect
ing public interests, to interfere with
private business and to impose unusual
and unnecessary restrictions on unlaW-
full occupations.
1.-THE Republican party under it's pres
ent leadership has entered into a mad
race with the leaders of the Democratic
party to capture the votes of the dis
contented, the prejudiced, the unthink-
ing and the fanatical believers in So
cialistic theories. Vastly the greater
number of the minority are not the
millionaires but are people of moderate
means who find their modest income
vanishing There are enough of these
to form a party which would hold the
balance of power in many states. But
until such a party is formed the only
refuge from these assaults is in the
courts"

41-STORY STRUCTURE
TO BE BUILT ON AIR
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Day and night
the work constructing the caisson
foundations for the forty-one-story SIN
ger building on Broadway, between
Cortlandt and Liberty streets, is being
pushed along This building, which will
be 612 feet high, making it the tallest
Office structure in the world, is to be
ready for occupancy in May, 1908. The
foundations, which are being built by
the Foundation company, No. 35 Mas
sau street, are carried down to bed
rock, ninety feet below Broadway.
After the necessary excavation has
been made, the working chamber, a
deep box made of small sections of tim
ber or steel, without a bottom, and with
the lower edges shod with steel, is
lowered into place. The sand hogs be-
gin to undermine the cutting edges, the
"spoils" being removed by huge buck
cts. AS the chamber sinks below the
water line a sectional shaft equipped
with an air lock is inserted in the roof,
and compressed air pumped into the
chamber to keep it clear of water. One
pound of pressure is employed for every
two and third feet below the water
line.
The building of the foundation pier
is done simultaneously with the sink
ing Of the chamber by placing layers
of concrete on top of 1t and increas-
ing them as the chamber sinks. AT the
same time the concrete serves to coun
terbalance the air pressure within the
chamber. When the chamber has
reached bedrock the foundation pier is
almost complete. The chamber and
shaft are then removed and the space
left filed with concrete.

At the same time in the hallway of

"Come now, we mustn't keep the priest
waiting. See, here is The carriage"
He opened the door.
AS the little party came from the
residence Capt. Pickel stood on the
curb He was suspiciously examining
the huge bow of white satin ribbon on
the door handle of the carriage
Say, what's that, and that, and

number of similar bows with which
the carriage was decorated in various
places.
The driver didn't seem to hear.

captain growled. He seized the door
just as the party from the house
reached the sidewalk.
