LIBRARIAN DANA TO
MEMS BROTHERHOOD.
Tells of Early Life in the West-Des-
perados Not as Bad as Painted.
Shameful Treatment of Indians.

At the meeting of the Mems Brother
hood of the High Street Presbyterian
Church last night Chester r. Hoag, the
president, announced the standing com
mittees for the ensuing year, and after
the business was transacted, introduced
librarian John Cotton Dana, of the Free
public Library, as the speaker OF the
evening. -,
The talk was an informal one and
touched on a variety of subjects. He spoke
of his early life in the mining camps and
on the Western frontier, told of priva-
lions and hardships endured by the
nioneers, and ridiculed many OF the ac-
counts of the desperadoes published at
various times, and said that the average
miner and cowboy was in reality an ami
able companion. He also spoke of the
American Indian and said that the Ameri-
can people had treated the Indians shame
fully, that instead of trying to p%erpetuate
tbe race by educating them and teaching
them trades they were allowing them to
become extinct.
Mr.. Dan. spoke of the needs of the
civ and gave much food for thought to
those who heard him, as to how each
individual could do his part. He devoted
a few minutes to the advantages offered
by the Free Public Library and ended his
discourse by explaining the various phases
of art.
Harry H.. Bernhard ans refreshments
were served and a general good time
followed.
It is the intention of the entertainment
committee to have some prominent
speaker at each meeting of the Brother
hood, held on the first Monday evening
of every month.

END
OF BOGERT
ROMANCE
BelIeViIIe Man Advertised
for HOuSekeeper, Then
Wed Her.

An interlocutory motion was made
today before Vice-Chancellor Howell in
the divorce suit of Mary e.. Noblett
Bogert against John X. Bogert. The
plaintiff petitioned for alimony and
counsel fees. Hugh B. Reed. of 1874
Market street. appeared for Mrs. b.
CERT. while the husbands interests were
looked after by w. J.. Miller, of Jersey
City.
John X. Bogert was a widower in
Paterson in 1898, when he advertised for
a h~ousekeeper. Mary E. Noblett an
she produced made her acceptable to
Bogert.
1t was not long before Mary's charms
won her q high place in Mr.. Bogert's
estimation, and they were married.
The marriage was followed by a
honeymoon trip through Essex County.
While passing through Belleville the
bride expressed a preference for a home
there, and in September of 1898 Mr.. and
Mrs. Bogert took up their residence on
Hornblower avenue, where they con-
tinued to live until February, 1894, when
the husband purchased a house from
Judge Skinner.
The title of the house was put in
the wife's name, and not until after
the purchase of this nome did the
couple have any trouble.
Mrs. Bogert, so her husband alleges
in his filed in the suit, began
TO absent herself from home two and
three days at a time. When he inves-
tigated her absences he discovered that
she was making trips to Auburn Prison
to see her brother, Edward Noblett,
who was imprisoned there. This led to
the first open break between the
couple.
One day Mrs. Bogert failed TO return
home, and the husband found a note
on the table which told him that she
had discovered his infidelity and there
fore would not return.
The next step was the petition for
divorce, ard today was set apart for
arguments on the question of alimony.
Vice-Chancellor Howell decreed hat
the husband should pay his wife $3.50
a week and $25 counsel fees.

TRIO OF GIRLS
STOLE IN BIG
STORE
Live in East Orange and
Caught in This City.
Admit Guilt.

Claiming to be the daughters of
William Monahan, of 215 Halstead
street. East Orange, two girls, aged IA
and Is years. were arrested at a
partment store, in Broad street, this
afternoon, shortly before 2 o'clock, with
a girl 10 years old. on a charge of
shoplifting. The trio were taken in by
Detective Sergeants Farrell, Pagan and
Walzer. of police headquarters, and
when searched at headquarters about
$50 worth of stuff were found in their
possession.
The girls gave their names as Frances
and Helen Monahan,> and Ellen Dolan,
of % Sanford street, East Orange. The
Dolan girl says she is a s~tenographer,
and employed by the Monahan girls
father. All three have confessed their
guilt, and said that the temptation OF
the pretty Christmas things was too
great for hem to resist.
The girls were first noticed yesterday by
Miss Louise Elliott, detective at the store
She discovered the trio acting suspicious
ly around several of the counters. Shf
did not detain them, not having evidence
against them, and feeling that IL thes
were shoplifters they would come oach
again today. Her Judgment was correct
for they returned and began liftlng
small articles from the counters and plac.
ing them into a bag which the Matthews
girl carried in her left hand.
According to the police and Miss Bitott
the two Younger girls would crowd abou'
the Matthews girl while she selected TN
articles and dropped them into a hand
bag. They were able TO escape detection
for some time by this system. Today thyt
acted so ~suspiciously that Miss Eltofi
called the detectives.
All of the girls were well dressed. and
according to their alleged admissions ave
taken considerable stuff from the depart
ment stores of this city, which they say
is at their home in East Orange. Captain
Carroll. of the detective bureau, sent De
tcctive Sergeants Farrell, Pagan and
Walzer to search the house of the Mona
han girls in East Orange.

EXPLOSION
Frame Structure Of Herman
& Co., Mulberry Street, in
Ruins tenants Escape.

An explosion in the paint and oil

berry street, shortly before 1 O'Clock

destroyed the two-story wooden struc-
ture at 258-261 Mulberry street, owned

caused about $3,500 damage to the
building and the stock of Herman, and
also damaged the. undertaking parlors
of Beach & Clark.
The second floor of the building is
occupied by Edward Heath, whose wife
operates a massage parlor there. She,
with her two young children, were in
the building When the explosion oc-
Cured, but they managed to reach the
ground in safety. They also lost fur
niture through the fire.

as the SIN Ike filled the rooms which
she occupied. In a few moments the
paint shop was enveloped in flames,
which quickly spread to the under

upper floor, occupied by the Heath
family. Before the hremen reached the
place the building o IN the inside was
ablaze. Nothing in either the paint

the sum Of 1885,, 1901. If the railroad

deducted would amount to 1921, 467.77.

ed to s9,132, 242.S0, and with the build
