BOY PREFERS DEATH
TO DESIRE TO STEAL
DISAPPEARS AFTER HIS FATHER
HAD DISCOVERED SMALL
THEFTS OF MONEY.

NEW YORK, July S.-Young Moses
233 South Second-st., Williamsburg,
is believed to have committed suicide,
because he couldn't resist the desire
to steal. He has not been seen since
he sent letter to his parents telling
Of his intention to kill himself.
The boy could not help stealing.
The impulse came on him suddenly.
and whatever he wanted he would
take. Then would follow season of
remorse, and he would confess to his
parents and restitution would be
made. Then he would go out and
steal again.
man OF Williamsburg, does not know
how TO account for the pilfering In
stinct in his boy. AS soon as the
sumner vacation started Mr.. Vein
stein decided TO employ the boy in his
furniture store collecting bills.
Stole Part Of the Collections.
He was sent out, but all the money
covered and the boy begged forgive
ness. His father, believing that his
son had simply wanted to get enough
money TO go TO Coney Island, allowed
him TO go on collecting.
Again money was missed. and when
brought to task this time the little
fellow disappeared and has not been
seen since by any Of his relatives.
A strange part of the story Is the
remarkable letter written by the boy,
wherein he admits being thief and
tells of his decision To end his life.
When he disappeared from here the
boy made his way to Prospect Park,
where he took seat on a bench. a
boy with a camera passed. The i'm
pulse to steal the camera seized
young Wenstein, but as a few mo-
ments elapsed before he could reach
the boy. the impulse was overcome
He realized. however. that he could
not always be able to resist, and that
ANAL crimes would lead to larger
ones.
Death Rather Than Life Of Crime.
Brooding over this he decided to
end his life. Following are parts OF
the letter:
Ny Loving Father and Mother-I
write TO you. that when you receive
this letter | will not be here in this
world. BY Saturday. July 4, will be

QUEEN BANS SHEATH
DRESSES FROM THE:
ENGLISH COURT
LEAVES ROOM IN DUDGEON AS
LADIES IN DiREcTOiRE GOWNS
CANNOT SIT DoWN-SENDS
CAUSTic MESSAGE.

LONDON. July S.-The directoire
gown is under the ban OF Queen AL
oxandra. who clings TO the old-fash'
Toned ideas OF dress.
Her majesty has caused 1t to be
known that any woman wearing a pro
nounced directoire will not be re-
ceived at court functions. The queen
told her ladies in waiting that the
new gowns are immodest and caused
Caustic warning 10 be conveyed 10
a certain titled lady distinguished for
her beautiful figure who displayed Il
at Ascot in a directoire sheath. The
ladies' in waiting have been also com
manded to notify other titled women
OF her maiesty's displeasure with the
revealing directoire costumes.
At a big ball last week three la
dies wearing these emphatic gowns
could scarcely make their courtesies
to the queen. and at supper they
found much difficulty in sitting down.
So displeased was the queen at this
unpleasant exhibition that she ex-
pressed her indignation openly and
left the ball before supper was end
ed
Queen Loses Her Temper.
The queens temper nowadays is not
over serene, owing TO the eXhausting
nature OF the social season. during
which she attended several functions
daily, frequently as many as five.
When her majesty's ordinarily serene
temper is upset everybody in Buck
ingham palace. including the king has
reason to be aware OF the fact.
After next week American debu.
tantes presented at court and Ameri-
cans presented at the kings stag
levees will have no excuse for APP
pearing at these functions improperly
dressed for the occasion. The king S
publisher next week will issue an IL.
Illustrated book which will serve as a
! royal guide for uniforms and gowns

II is learned that the king himself
originated the idea for the book, In
deed that he practically edited IL.
Some OF the oldest courtiers are oc-
casionally hazy about what consti-
tutes proper costumes for various
court functions and have To rely on
court tailors who are not always ac-
curate. The king and queen possess
keen eyes. invariably detecting mis-
takes in dress.

THE TRIBUNE united.

The Tribune business office has
moved into its new quarters, corner
of Fourth street and Broadway. For
several months, pending the comple-
tion of the new Tribune block, the Of
fice force has been divided-the me-
ehanical, editorial and business de-
partments in different places. All are
now together again and patrons and
friends are invited to call and inspect
the most complete and up-to-1ate
newspaper and commercial printing
plant in the northwest. The new
press and job rooms possess original
features not found in print shops gen
orally.
The large basement room with its
twenty-foot ceiling and saw-tooth
roof construction, whereby only the
north light is secured and that from
sky-light only, is the latest factory
construction. A perfect light, with
out sun or shadows, is thus secured
and with the inside ceilings and sides
painted pure white, in gloomy, cloudy
days it is lighter inside the work
shop than outside. The new building
presents many fre-proof features and
the entire basement floor is of the
best concrete. There are no side
windows or doors in the main work
room, all light coming through
dbbed glass in the roof from the
prth on an angle of about Is de
4rees.
The new business office is spacious
a model Of its kind-and while it
IS designed to have the editorial
rooms ON the second floor at present
offices off the business department
are used, the city and night editors
being in the basement.
Later on a descriptive article, IL
lustrated, will be published, the OBJ
ieet Of this mention being simply to
inform our patrons that the Tribune
is again united" better prepared tc
do business than ever before and
needing it-with telephone calls No
