CHILD ASSISTS BURGLAR.
Seven-year-old Negro Girl Found IN
der Bed.

Girard March 2.-(Special)-A 7-year-
old negro child acting as confederate of
a burglar is the most reasonable eXplana-
ton of situation that existed in a Cir
ard home early yesterday morning.
The family of Mrs. M. A. Ford We're
awakened by a noise under a bed in
which children were sleeping. One of
the boys secured gun and while his
sister held the light he peered under
the bed He found there Alberta Wilson,
colored girl I years old, who lives
with her grandmother Louisa Howard, d
short distance from the Ford residence.
The child refused to give any explanation
of why she was there. Late in the after
noon before the children had seen Il ne
gro man run out of the yard of the house,
and the natural theory MAS that the girl
had hidden in the house for the purpose
of opening the door for the negro man
late at night
Yesterday morning the girl was OBJ
served to stealthily enter vacant house
in Girard Upon investigation 1t was
found that she had taken all her cloth
ing from her grandmother house and
secreted them there When questioned
by the marshal she denied that she had
any. evil motive in entering the Ford resi-
dence or that she had promised to open
the door for a negro man.

A few years ago when hostess en-
gagged a grand opera prima donna to sing
for her guests it was considered some
thing remarkable and the newspapers
printed columns about it. Now there are
many costly musieales every winter that
are never heard of except by those, who
attend them New Workers regard as
dull a dinner party that supplies only
food and pleasant society. Some sort of
amusement must be provided afterward
and, with those who can afford it. this
usually takes the form of a musicale.
One prima donna at the Metropolitan
who has the privilege of singing at pri-
vate houses six times every season. has
earned $4,000 in this way. as her fee
is $4,000 for singing in private. Some of
the singers at the Metropolitan and at
the Manhattan as well, are at liberty to
make their own concert arrangements,
but the majority Of them are under the
sole contract to Mr.. Conreid or Mr.. Ham,
merstein. The impressarios charge for
their services whatever they see fit The
charge is usually made in advance of
the fee the artist actually receives. Mr.
Grau, the former impressario, sometimes
got twice as much as the fee paid to
the singer. One of the Conreid prima
donnas sang not long ago In a private
house and her fee was twice what she
receives from the opera house. Tnose
artists who make their own arrange
ments in regard to private concerts in
variably receive more than they demand
for their appearances on the stage.
That the regular opera goers should
have so much of the singers In the the
, atre and yet want to engage them for
appearances in their homes. frequently
astonishes people who imagine they might
like little variety. This winter there
has been a greater demand than ever for
the artists from the music halls.

STUBBORN AS A WITNESS
And His Boosted Frankness Is
Frankness of CONFERENCE.-The
Greatest Gambling House
in the World.
AS A WITNESS
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, March 2-E. II. Hartman,
the man who began life as an humble
reetors son and is now the master of
railroad properties with one and third
billion of stock and has a private for
tune estimated at $4,000 600, WAS again
put on the rack this week by the inter-
state commerce commission. Mr.. Harri-
man was very frank. He went into great
detail in describing his railroad opera
tions the only trouble was that he told
the commission everything except what it
was most anxious to know. 1t was dur
ing the examination concerning the re-
organization of the Chicago and Alton
that Mr.. Hartman declined to answer
pointed questions. As a stakeholder in
the road Mr.. Hartman got some of its
bonds at 60. He refused to tell how
many of these bonds he sold himself that
he unloaded at 80. Up to this point the
railroad wizard had been frankness it.
self. But here lie fell back on the old
doctrine about telling the truth only
to those who are entitled to know the
truth.
So it was with all questions that would
tend to ncrlminate Mr.. Hartman. lie
refused to answer and the only recourse
OF the commission is to apply to the
courts for an order compelling him to
give the Information. When Mr.. Harrl-
man desired that the Union Pacific ac-
quire another railroad he forthwith went
into the market and bought, an in
dividual, the stock of such road. Then
he would sell it to the Union Pacific. To
all questions tending to show whether
or not he made a profit in these trans
actions Mr.. Hartman was mum, con-
tending that that was a private matter
and not related to interstate commerce.
striking illustration of the Hartman
methods was brought out when Mr.. Har-
riman was asked if he thought 1t was
legitimate to dump s19,000000 of common
stock of the Chicago and Alton on the
public when he knew 1t would never pay
a dividend. His answer shows just how
frank he is with the public
'"Did we ever say to the public that
dividend would be paid?" he asked by
way OF answering.

New York Impreqnable.

Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, who knows
more about New YorlS's Notifications than
any one of her 100000 citizens, SAYS
that it would be practically impossible
for an enemy to invade this city, The
matter was brought to the generals at
tention when there was so much silly talk
of war between this country and Japan.
He said:
MY personal opinion Is that the OBJ
stacles necessary for an invading army
to overcome would be scarcely more In
surmountable than those which would
confront an enemy on the water side.
In other words this city is as nearly i'm
pregnable as 1t Is possible to conceive
or at least 1t could be made so before
a hostile force could approach within
striking distance.
IF it should so happen that our navy
were unable to prevent the landing or
hostile transports, so much time would
necessarily elapse between the moment
we heard of an approaching enemy to
the moment one landed that we would
have very formidable army in the
field with breastworksk thrown up as
an auxiliary protection. In fact with
our modern means of rapid communica-
ton, it would be all but impossible for
an army, sufficiently large and NUM-
toned. to lay seige to New York, to APP
proach within twenty miles of the city.
"A hostile squadron TO smell the
metropolis would have to approach within
at least twelve or fifteen miles. Our
guns and submarine defenses. exclusive
of our cruisers and battleships, could be
relied upon to command the sea for fully
twenty miles. Granting, however, that
an attacking squadron succeeded in pass
ing the outer line of defense-the navy
and running the gauntlet of mines and
submarines which would menace an en-
envy for a distance of twelve miles from
shore. 1t would be necessary to silence
the guns of Fort Hancock on Sandy
Hook before entering the lower bay.
This in itself would be no easy task.
The most powerful guns In commission
are mounted at Fort Hancock.
ION the northern approach the invading
squadron would have to reckon with
series of batteries. beginning with Fort
Rodman, near New Bedford. to Fort
Trunbull. at New London. and on down
the chain to Forts Wright and Terry,
standing on islands which divide the
fairway of the sound into narrow chan
nels The nearer approach to the
metropolis Is still better guarded by the
heavy batteries of Forts Slocum. Schuy-
Ter and Totten-the first off New Rochelle.
The latter two would have to be reckon
ed with five miles nearer the goal.
New York need not lose any SLEEP
| for fear of being invaded in time of war
The chances are that no gun ever built
would be capable of reaching such a
target as the metropolis. In view OF the
