George e. Baldwin, of Maple street,
Bloomfield, had $2S in g~reenbacks in his
coat pocket at % minutes to z this morning.
Twenty-three minutes later George dis
covered he was minus the % bucks" At
exactly 1928 O'clock the money was re-
covered.
When George left the breakfast table
this morning it was to go into the kitchen
to count his money. Now 1t must not
be imagined that George is miserly, but
he had a trip to the State fair in mind,
and he was beginning TO figure up how he
stood for the days outing. He was in
%terrupted in his count by a voice from
the dining room.

Now George is as loving and confiding
as most Bloomfield husbands, but as he re-
marked to a friend later, at doesn't do
to let the women folks know all your bust
ness"
Nothing, my dear, nothing answered
George.
Mrs. Baldwin was not quite satisfied
and went into the Kitchen to investigate.
She saw George store away something in
an inner pocket OF his coat. Later George,
having some repair work to do, removed
his coat and hung it in the hallway at
the top of the stairs leading to the cellar.
He went about his work as usual.
In the meantime a great big rat stole
up the cellar stairs and found his way TO
Georges coat. The rodent removed the
~greenbacks. and scurrying back to the cell
lar. went from there to the yard and
thence TO a woodshed, which stands a

no doubt about this part of<the story, for
a neighbor saw a rat run across the yard
and into the shed with something green
In its mouth.
AS told above, George, having finished
his work. put on his coat and was pre-
pairing to go out when he discovered his
loss. This was twenty-three minutes after
he had counted the money. Not Wishing
to alarm his wife he. proceeded to hunt
about the house. His search was unavail-

in despair when his wife came in out of
the yard smiling and holding up a bunch
OF greenbacks.

she; '~twenty-three dollars

with much diplomacy George explained
that the money was his.
"Well. at any rate said Mrs. Baldwin,
"the finder is entitled to some reward,

State Fair and the good time he was

weary Willie" in South Orange Jail,
Has Tent, Frying Pan and Tomato
Can for Drinking Cup.

A WEARY Willie of the "Hooligan"
type, who says he lives the simple life"
because it keeps him in good health and
happy, is lodged in the South Orange
police station after having passed safely
through ten States. He carries a full
camping outfit with him, including a tent
with which he wraps up the other articles,
including a frying pan, a gridiron and
coffee pot. His tomato can, used for
drinking purposes, hangs from the tent
bundle by a string, so that he may easily
reach it when thirsty.
He gives his name as Frank Mann and
his address as 1.-The United States" and
says he is a bird of liberty"
He was looking for a camping ground In
the village when Policeman Edward
Tracey spotted him. Mann thought it all
a joke when arrested, and at the police
station said he had walked all the way
from Iowa.
You owe how much?" said Sergeant
Frank Kenny from behind the desk.
Ohio said Mann. cleveland was my
last stop"
"oh!" said Kenny. The sleuth had
twisted him..
owe? No, 1 don't owe anyone any
thing replied Mann. as he ratified his
tin cans and said he was a law-abiding
citizen.
He was then taken into the dungeon
and his pack was placed I'M the cell with
him. He made himself at home, arranged
his utensils neatly about the cell and hung
a picture on the grating of the door. He
used the tent for a blanket. When seen
again today in his new quarters, Mann
had changed his dress and had on a stock
tie. He said he had fixed up for his hear
ing.

He said he is 60 years old, but he looks
much younger He said he kept young by
living out of doors, which he said he has
don since, a young man, travelling
through every State in the union.
The police thought he had escaped from

pearance. Police Justice j. Martin Roll
will give hin a hearing together with
Frank Smith, 70 years old, who also had
kicked up the dust on many a road in his
day and was arrested today for vagrancy

CITIZENS ANGRY OVER
SOFT COAL NUISANCE.
Residents Near Erie Railroad, in Bloom
field, Want Council to See That
ORDINANCE Is Enforced.

The residents of Clarendon place, Bloom
field, and other points along the Erie rail
road In that town are much ineensed be-
cause the authorities do not enforce the
ordinance adopted over a month ago re
garding the nuisance caused by the use
Of soft coal on the engines on the railroad.
Offenders are liable to a fine Of $40 for
each onense and a failure to pay the fine
means Imprisonment in the county.jail for
a period not to exceed thirty days.
Colonel James r. Michael, of that neigh
borhoOd. is much aggrieved because the
authorities do not make the railroad people
live up TO the terms of the ordinance.
He and DINERS declare that life is scarcely
worth living along the line of the Erie or
'Earache" as It Is called by the people
who reside near II.
The citizens believe that Smoke Inspect
or George N. Cadmus should get busy and
al once or else the council should wipe
the ordnance off the town books.

MONKEY GIVES ORANGE YALLEYITES CHASE

There is a WISE monkey in the saloon
of Charles Roller, located at Glebe and
South Jefferson streets, Orange Valley,
that recently heard (maybe) of the escape
of a prisoner from the East Orange
police station and the subsequent picking
of a lock on a big cell door in that place
by a councilman as an Illustration to the
police of how easy it was to get out. The
same idea os escaping from Imprisonment
entered the monkeys mind Monday after
noon. 1t reached its paw down through
the bars of n cage that it is placed in
to be looked at by the patrons of the
place, and, reaching the slide lock, safely
opened 1t. Next followed a species of
excitement that the residents of that sec
ton of the valley have not seen before
in q long period.
The monkey got out of the Gag and
started to hop way to the imaginary
safe confines of an open lot in the vicinity.
1t exhibited a tendency toward going
back tc the simple life in the jungle. and
to further this native happiness went along
the sidewalk with a hop-skip-and-jump
that caused children playing nearby to
scamper for shelter.

The resultant excitement sent the
monkey INTO a mild state of insanity. It
went along Glebe street sending forth
screams that brought women to their front
doors in a hurry. From the saloon came
men who had quickly dropped their glasses
with 4 bang when they saw the monkey
dart from the cage and across the floor.
Mothers who heard the racket and screech-
ing of the monkey were not aware of
what was up and ran forward to gather
In their children.
In the course of its travel the monkey
leaped onto a grape arbor and believed
1t was safe. Men chasing it had differ
emit ideas, however, and frightened the
monkey from the arbor. 1t reached a
short tin roof next, but a flying broom
'~skidooed" 1t away.
One of the hardest workers to effect q
capture was James Mccarthy, who had
made about a dozen attempts. to capture
the fleeing monkey by the tail. He was
thinking of getting some salt to spread
on the tail, when the monkey was cor
nered in g lot. Then Mccarthy got busy
Steadily he crept forward. and making 8
quick plunge caught the monkey by thu
tail and hind legs. Orange Valley then re-
sumed its usual peace.

CITIZENS TO VOTE
ON POLICE PENSIONS.
Orange Council Will Put Matter Up to
the People-0nly Two Eligible
at Present.

Following the precedent established by
several other nearby cities the police com
mittee of the Orange Common Council
last night decided to recommend to the
Council that the public be given a chance
to vote on the provisions of the police
pension bill. The necessary resolution will
be passed at the next meeting of the Coun-
ell. and the voters of the city can ex-
press their sentiments on che question.
Should the Orange voters agree to pen
sion the men in the department who will
come within the requirements for pensions
the Common Council must raise by taxa
ton each year 4 per cent. of the total
salaries of the department, The men are
to Civ from their wages l per cent, and
the amounts to be paid each year would
be ,H,640 raised by taxation and $40 from
the men. There are but two men COM
ing within the provisions of the pension re-
quirements in the department at present,
and at no time would more than four men
be in line for pensions at n time, unless
some unus1al and unforeseen development
arose.
