STARVING IN NEW YORK.
Tried to Steal Money With Which to
Get Bread.

A gray-haired sick looking man
walked into the banking Office Of G..
u. Richard d Co., 33 Broadway, Nov
York, Friday and asked for money to
get,food. He was ordered out, and,
after walking to the street, stood
looking for a moment at the firms
window. where a quantity OF foreign
money was exhibited.
Then his glance fell on a piece of
concrete lying in the gutter, and, has
tily picking It up, he threw it against
the plate glass. The window broke
in a dozen pieces, and the old man
then grabbed a ITO franc and a SO
fame note and ran.
Two of the firms clerks caught him
before he had got fifteen feet away.
In the station house tho prisoner de-
scribed himself as Thomas Kennedy,
70 years old, "a sail maker, with no
home. He said he had eaten nothing
for AS hours, and his appearance in
dicatcd it. The police sympathiaed
with him, but charged him with burg

At five O'Clock Inspector Gregory

that George A. BriStow, who worked
al the lunch counter at the union

who was conducting this scheme.
Bristow had been stopping at the ho-
tel every night almost for two weeks
and had spoken to the night clerk,
Mr.. Mcintosh, about a woman
whom he was expecting, giving her
name 10 him as Mrs. Dow ana tell

explain what n gorgeous and absorb

60 people in il, and only 40 of these
were chorus girls.
Then came the first '~'alvanccs''
when he began TO tell her, in an cx-

explained that he and his wife had
been in the show business for years,
that his wife was as fine a lady rs

The Washington correspondent Of

the opinion Of the fourth assistant
postmaster general, Mr.. DeGraw, who
has charge in general of the rural
free delivery routes, that II. H. ID. car
riers should carry unstamped letters
from one point on their routes, to
another. Representative Sleyden Of
Texas recently made inquiry of the
department as to this, from which
fact il appears that in Texas at least,
whence MIR. Slayden halls, il has
been customary for some of the ru-
raj carriers to carry from one point
TO another letters or parcels which
arc not stamped.
