HAS LOCAL RECORD Ethel Foote Arrested In Hartford Served 13O
 Days Here. MANY COUNTS OF THEFT Stole From Every Depart ment Store In New
 Haven in 1902.
MANY COUNTS OF THEFT

Tn the arrest made by the police of Hartford Thursday of Ethel Foote a woman with considerable record in the line of stealing has been brought into the 1imelight after several years of apparent oblivion. Mrs Foote was taken in Hartford on a charge of. iIn~ personating 8 Salvation army girl and collecting funds in that character. Mrs. Foote was arrested in this city in 1902 for theft, and her record showed that she had stolen from every de- partment store in the city and from a number of other persons, and in con- sequence she was given a fine of $167 and sent to serve 130 days in jail. There were twenty-five counts of theft against her at that time.
 Later she went to Bridgeport, where she was again arrested and served a jail sentence While in this city she lived with her husband and boy at 54 Crown street.
 Mrs. Foote was arrested under the name of Viola Foote in Hartford and is held pending the continuance of her case. It is expected that there will be evidence of her arrest in New York and Philadelphia, as we'll as in Con- necticut cities. It is said that she has also operated in other places.
 Harry Foote, the husband, is said by the local police to have lived prac- 1 tically on his wife. They occupied 6 couple of rooms when they lived here Upon his wife's arrest MT Foote al first was very indlgnant' Afterward he claimed that she was a morphine fiend, and that he was a man high IT society, but his wife's condition hat dragged him down from the positoir he might have occupied.

NINE MORE BANKS
 CLOSE THEIR DOORS
Believed to Be Solvent But Temporarily Suspend to Avoid Possible
 Runs.

New York, Oct. 25.-Another nerve-racking day has passed, but the financial institutions of New York have shown extraordinary power of resistance to the pressure put upon them While it is true that several minor institutions have been forced to close their doors, yet two things should be said about them-flrst, that the amount involved was not SC great as to exert any marked influence 6n the general situation, as these banks were located in residential quarters and did not come into touch with the larger financial institutions of the metropolis, and second, that there is every reason to believe that these banks and trust companies are entire- ly solvent and their difficulties will prove to be only temporary.
 The institutions which closed their doors to-day, with the sums due de- positors, were The United States Ex- change bank, Harlem, $500, 900; In- ternational Trust company, about $l00, 900; the Borough Bank of Brook lyn, $4,000,000; the Brooklyn bank, $2,300,0OO; Williamsburg Trust com pany, Brooklyn, $7,500,OO0; and the First National bank of Brooklyn, $3,500,000 The First National bank of Brooklyn, the Williamsburg Trust company and the International Trust Icompany were allied institutions.

while others are genuine.
Each name is accompanied with a

particular method and tricks employed
by each, whether railway card sharp
ers, billiards, playing dark, false cards,
card sharping with accomplices, etc.

The Story of a Shark.

While cruising among the South Sea
Islands thirty odd years ago in our
private yacht, the Haute Flyer, we
were much annoyed by large Irish
setter shark that persisted in following
the ship. During the night the shark
would often climb up on deck and tip
over the garbage can. At one time
Henry Williams a sailor before the
mast, was bitten on the leg by the
brute. He aimed a kick at the shark,
who growled, showed his teeth and
sunk his fangs in Williams limb be-
fore leaping over the rail into the sea.
One day the cook, annoyed at his
alarm clock-which persisted In going
off furiously at all hours Of the night
threw the timepiece overheard. The
shark. always on hand for dainty tit
bits from the galley, took the time of
day at one gulp. For two days after
that we heard the clock going off In
a muffled way from the interior of the
surprised shark, who was often seen
with one fin on his head and the other
on the pit Of his stomach, evidently
trying to diagnose his clock case
We were standing on the stern of
the ship one evening watching the
shark, who was evidently feeling pref
ty sick. Suddenly the clock went off
on him, and the sailors, counting the
strokes, noticed that it struck twenty
three. When the shark heard this he
turned up and died before our eyes,

In the jury room at the court house
a few days ago q farmer said, as he
took a chew Of tobacco:
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco I've tried some twenty diff
ferent kinds, and none is as good as
that we used to make ourselves down
on the farm. We would take a maple
log while twas green and bore dozen
holes In it with a two-inch auger.
They were our molds. We selected our
choicest tobacco and soaked 1t for a
week or more in wild honey. Then we'd
take the leaf to the log. get good hick-
DRY 'tamping' stick and go to work.
"A little ball of the honey-s soaked to-
bacco would be put IN an auger hole
and tamped in with the stick and q
hammer We'd pound 1t in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed In and
pounded until the whole became a
solid plug When the hole was nearly
full we would pound in the plug and
then the log would be put away to
season. AS the wood dried the moisture
would be drawn from the tobacco. And
when it was split the sweetest tobacco
ever made was taken from it. We call
ed it plug tobacco and that's where
the name originated. kansas City

Short suggestions.

Never cook green vegetables Wild
the cover on, as it destroys the color.
Common snuff sprinkled in the chinks
round the fireplace will drive away
crickets.
When salad dressing Is liable to cur
die a small pinch of soda dropped in
will prevent it from doing SO.
To keep doughnuts from burning.
drop a piece Of raw potato in the boil
ing fat and you will have no trouble
with them.
In mixing mustard plaster poultice
add the white of an egg instead OF
water and although the effect will be
the same it will not blister the skin.
A convenient linen chest has half
tray under which one can reach with
out its removal. Towels go into it.,
while the smaller things are put in the

cess Of the effort has been small. She
says that it does not tend ito stimu-
late an American woman's national
pride to reflect that this may be the
last Of civilized countries to grant
women q voice In their own govern
ment" And she adds: Let this fact
be remembered-it is the only one
where women have been left to fight
this battle alone, with no moral, fnan-
cial or political support from the men,"
This rebuke comes after a review of
the fight for woman suffrage through
out the world, from which we make
the following list Of countries that
have granted the demand for it M
whole or in part: In New Zealand
women have had the full franchise since
1893. All the Australian states except
Victoria have conferred the state fran
chise on women and women have full
federal suffrage and the right to sit in
the federal parliament. In the sum-
mary on Australia we read: "At some
elections not only a larger percentage
but actually a larger number of wom-
en- than of men have voted. Last year
in Tasmania women outnumbered the
men at every polling station. 1t Is
also everywhere apparent that they
have aroused the men to a new sense
of their political duty" In the Dan
ish colony of Iceland widows and spin
Sters who are hOuseholderS or who
maintain a family or themselves have
a right to vote for parish and town
councils and district boards and visit
Ors and are eligible for election to all
the offices for which they can vote. In
Finland women have the full franchise
and the ofEice-holding rights Of men,
including the right to sit in parlia-
ment. In Norway women who pay
taxes on property to the value of $75
in the country and $110 in the cities
were admitted to the municipal fran
chise in 1901 and made eligible to
serve in the common councils. Later
the parliamentary franchise was grant
ed to all who pay taxes on an income
Of $S4 in the country and Sis in the
cities. wives can vote on the hus-
bands income, and even domestic ser
wants will have an income large enough
to entitle them to vote" It is expect
ed that the concessions already made
will soon result in the abolition of the
property qualification and the admis-
sion Of women to the polls on the same
terms with men. In Sweden widows
and single women and married women
who pay taxes on their own property
have the municipal franchise on the
same terms as men. Some form of
woman suffrage is enjoyed in all the
provinces of Canada, and in Great
Britain women have the right to par
ticipate in local elections. This is a
statement of results actually accom-
plished, but it does not fully indicate
the progress Of the movement, since the
campaigning is being carried on with

world and is making recruits raDidlv
