EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPED.
Cutters Wages Grew to Alarming
Proportions.

Charged with obtaining money unde
false pretenses, Frederick Colesanti. q
years old, OF n State street, was arraigned
before Judge Howell. In the Third Crimi-
nal Court this morning and held for the
Grand Jury in bail Of $500. The Boyden
Shoe Company, Colesanti's former em-
ployers, are the complainants.
Colesanti and Joseph castillo, Of l9
Bruce street. who was arrested with him
yesterday, were cutters In the employ of
the Boyden Company. castillo was paroled
with the understanding that he would APP
pear as a witness when wanted Colesauti
was doing piece work and Joseph had to
get along ms best he could on a straight
salary, which did not amount to nearly
as much as the bulky envelope drawn by
Colesanti every week.
The latter is q fellow of some genius, and
It was his mind that Strengthened out
Joe's financial difficulties and, incidental
ly, increased his own income, which has
already almost reached the amount paid to
the president of the steel trust. A few
days ago Frederick's days pay" amounted
to as much as the ordinary corporation
lawyer would demand as a retainer, and
so the searchlight was turned in his di-
rection. Frederick and Joe were ''pinehed, F"
although they proclaimed their innocence
OF any attempt at wrong doing. This
they reiterated In court this morning. but
Colesanti was held for the Grand Jury.

BROTHERS MEET AFTER
SlXTY-THREE YEARS.
For More Than Half Century Each Had
Believed the other Dead-Meeting
Result of Accident.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Sept. 49,
Two brothers, both of whom have long
outlived the Biblical limit of three score
years and ten. met here last night for
the first time In sixty-three years. For
more thar half a ceatury each one has
believed the other to be dead. and their
meeting was the result of IN accident.
1t was in 1874 that Oliver p. Crandall
and his brother, Daniel e. Crandall,
last looked upon each others faces.
Oliver, then % years Did. went into the
ministry of the Methodist Church,
while Daniel, who was eleven years
younger, remained On the old farm.
For a time intermittent correspondence
kept the two brothers aware Of each
others whereabouts. But the eXigen-
cies of the itinerant minister's exist
ence and the coming of the war be-
tween the North and the South drifted
them further apart. so that each finally
lost track of the other.
Then to each came the information.
seemingly correct, that his brother was
dead. A few days ago Daniel Crandall,
in his home in Pike County, Pa, heard
that there was living in New York,
near this town, a retired Methodist
minister, whose name was the same as
that of his brother long mourned as
dead. A letter was written, n on re-
ceiving the reply The younger of the
two brothers journeyed to the home of
the elder.

former Judge Frederick f. Guild. Appli-
cation for the order was made by Conover
English, of McCarter q English.
The petition filed in the suit is full of
legal and other references to the early
days of this colony. The suit is necessary
by reason of the fact that. in December.

Lewis and Clifford Willis. constituting the

about half Of the property the church held
under the original deeds executed by Jere-
miah milford In 1864, by Isaac Woodruff
in 1851 and by Jonathan Dayton in 1775.
The consideration given for the transfer
to MIR. Hartshorn was 81. 400, and the petit
TONERS aver that the said deed was con-
veyed without thee advice of counsel or
without knowledge on the part OF the
trustees that there existed any lack of
right on their part to sell the land.
The petition shows that at the time the
sails was made 1t was the intention Of
the trustees to use the money for the pur-
pose OF constructing a parsonage. Since
the sale was made to Mr.. HaItshorn the
latter has made many costly improve
ments.
The trustees ask that the sale of the
property to Mr.. Hartshorn be confirmed.

WOMAN ATTACKS HOSPITAL
METHODS OF AMERICA.
Says Distinction Is Made in Treatment
of Paying and Charity Patients and
Objects to Isolation Practise

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-Miss Jane Adams
Vast evening, at the American Hospital AS
ISOLATION convention, CAV a talk that
caused considerable comment.
There is an inclination In some quar-
tiers to overlook the individuality" she
said. The same treatment is not always
accorded charity patients that is given
those with money. 1t is different with
the hospitals of France. There everyone
is placed upon the same plane.
In America" she continued, contagious
cases. are rushed away and isolated, and
relatives are unable to see the sufferers.
In France they are placed in wards par
titioned off with glass, and the patients
can be visited and hold conversation with
those dear TO them. Again II is common
in this country to rush a charity patient
out as soon rs ne Is able to leave his bed.
In Germany it Is almost compulsory &c
keep convalescent patients until they ar,
able to go back to work"

The commissioners will assure the pro-
testers that it is without their knowledge

that 1t will be discontinued Immediately
If It is found that the carting is being
done by contractors on city Jobs.

it is a hard matted to ascertain which con-
tractor is responsible.
1t was pointed out that the earting

ceived the income from $20,0 DOC, 900. The
principal was held in trust, however,
and the son was not allowed to touch

ton, Mr.. Taylor was in the consular
service n was stationed in n ID
There he met Mrs. Betsy Head, an

Mrs. Heads daughter, Lena. Five OF
six years ago this daughter married
Frederick William Bodley, MI. Tay-
lors gardener. She was disfnherited
by her mother, whose will left only So
to her daughter. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Taylor, in his will, may have made
some provision for his ward.
