While Norris Wo1fman. sa1oonkeeper,
bers Of his family were seated on the
stoop In front of the saloon shortly be-
fore 10 O'Clock last night, Mailman
thought that he heard the bell of his
cash register ring and. decided to inves-
tigate. He went around to the rear
entrance and found the door, whichshad
been locked throughout the,d day, open,
and when he made his way to the bar
room he saw by the glare of the. electric
light that a man was in the act Of
placing the contents of the till into q
small bag.
Wo1fman rushed behind the bar and
seized d club, which he held aloft over
the strangers head, while a neighbor
telephoned to the Fourth Precinct sta
ton. Roundsman Fitch found the in
truder behind the bar In care of the
proprietor. He was taken to the sta
ton and there gave his name as
George Kempel, "a years old, a carpen-
ter, of IA Boyd street.
Roundsman Seipel learned of the ar
rest during the night and today Cap
tain Vogel found a report from Seipel
on his desk. 1t stated that Seipel ar
rested Kempel some years ago for al
offense similar to that which led to-hfs
arrest last night. 1t was while Kempel
was in the act of tapping the cash
register in a Springfield venue saloon
that Seipel caught him.. The day after
this arrest Detective ~Sergeants Koerber
and Jackes visited Kempel's home n
found two bicycles and eleven silver
watches in his room. For this offense
Kempel was sentenced to three years

knows what kind of a man I am"
"Yes, judge, he.is the biggest crooksin

BURIED AT SEA.

There is something uncanny about
sea burial. However the sea-going
man may feel about the ocean wind
ing sheet and the long sleep in the
bosom of the waters, the landsman
shrinks from it with horror And
not all sailors relish the prospects of
such a grave. No less a parsonage
than Admiral Lord Nelson made this
dying request: do not throw me
overheard | desire to be buried be-
side my parents" Certainly all those
who spend the greater part Of their
days On land would make similar re-
quest if given opportunity after
death had beckoned them aboard an
ocean steamer They would ask
that their bodies be taken back to
the burial ground at the old home
and there laid beside the loved ones
gone ahead.
The lack Of proper facilities to
care for the dead aboard ship, how
ever, especially those who are not
well provided with funds, consti-
tutes about the only hiatus in strict
ly first class steamers. Unless one
has relatives or friends aboard to
make special provisions at consider
able expense, for preservation of his
body, it is heaved into the brine.
The proportion of deaths at sea is
greater than is generally thought,
caused by large number of invalids
who are constantly seeking more
healthful climates across the ocean.
knowledge of this fact, coupled with
the objection to sea burial, has caus-
ed the organization of an anti-marine
burial assurance company, which is
sues burial policy for small fee
to all ocean travellers who may de-
sire it, guaranteeing preservation of
the body until land is reached, and
ueCeHI Dulldl W tHOoe having Holc
to care for their remains. While the
plan has profit in view, at the same
time it has it's humanitarian side.
Relatives and friends of those who
go out on the deep will feel better
satisfied if they shall attach burial
policies to their tickets carrying
with them an assurance in event of
death that their bodies will be pre-
served and that those left to mourn
double pain and the haunting life
long thought that perhaps, after all,
they will return.

Development of Electric Railway.

Less than twenty-five years ago al

street railway men made proud ref.
erence to the fact that there were al
that tine AS street railways in the
United States and Canada. These
railways owned and operated over
5000 miles of track; employed 80 ;.
600 men; ran IS ,O00cars; using 100,
900 horses, which annually devoured
10000 tons of hay and 1900, 900
bushels of grain. The item of horses
alone has ben reduced and to-day
but few of the old ''hay-motors
can be found dragging cars in the
city of New York
With the coming of electric trac-
ton, the growth of the street railway
industry has been truly wonderful
The census for 1905 gives a total of
1,0S1 electric railway companies in
the United States. with over $4,000
miles of track and operating $4,000
cars. If these cars were placed end to
end they would form solid train
