WHAT'S THE MATTER, PENNSY?

Our experience with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has been that it desires to
give good service to its patrons.
and when it is not doing this it
is because those high in authori-
" do not know about it. We
desire, therefore, to called the
attention of our friend, Mr..
George W Boyd, to the fact
that there is loud complaint on
the part of the patrons of his
road because of the long wait
at Porter by the people who are
bound for Baltimore and Wash

Aside from the wait at Porter
this is frequently followed by
another wait at Newark, until

if the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad is
trying its best to keep people
from Baltimore and Washing

so much better service to Phila

Governor says he il going ID
appoint Democrats That IS
good also ana he says that these
Democrats have got TO measure
up to a high standard of fitness
for the offices to which they are
appointed. This is also a good
sound, business like resolu-
ton. The Democratic party is
composed of the very bone and
sinew of the very best Mary
land stock and il is no trouble
for Governor Crothers TO select
good men for the offices.
. The Governor is also a party
man. That is right. Every man
ought to be party man In
fact the general run of men who
are not PARTY MEN are not
much good If our govern
ment, State and National were
not run on partizan lines, it
would soon become personal
government for which no party
could be held responsible, and
finally we would get right down
TO anarchy As long as party
is in the saddle we can hold il
responsible for good govern
ment, and when it fails to
measure up to the requirements
of the people it will have to
give way to some one Of the
other parties. Yes, Governor
Crothers is an out-and-out
Democrat and he is not back
ward in saying so. The people
like that kind of man. They
like Ex-Governor Smith for the
same reason, and they turned
down Edward Warfield because
he got to big for his breaches.

WANTED--A DWARF PRINCESS
James Thompson, Arrested, May
Know Why She Left Town.
Luna Park ManHEement Claims 1t
Has Been SwindIed Out of a
First-cInss Attraction.

James Thompson, negro. Of 80 Navy
place southeast. was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Central Office Detectives
Barbee and Vermillion on charge Of false
prctenses. And thereby hangs a story-a
freak story.
Thompson is the father OF two children,
both girls. and small as regards height.
In fact, they are dwarfs. Although nearly
Of age. they are only about three feet
tall.
P P. Craft Is connected with Luna
Park He is, in fact the man who writes
and circulates vivid advertisements. and
sees 10 it that there are always freaks
and amusements to attract the surplus
coin of the passing throng.
Craft heard Of the dwarfs. He investi-
gated and found one was under contract
wi.a Barnum & BaIley's circus and the
other was In Washington. He made over
lures 10 the father. A contract was drawn
up and signed. The paper specified that
Thompson was 10 allow his daughter,
Gertrude THOMPSON. alias the Princess
Ferrarro Of Diar Diego. Hawaii" 10 be
placed on exhibition at Luna Park for
six months. A handsome salary was
fixed and an advance Of SS5 was made to
the father.
The princess was TO have appeared at
the park on Friday night She failed 10
appear. Her attendants also failed 10
appear. Craft then held counsel with
other promoters Of the amusement park
and finally paid a visit to Thompson.
He was told Thompson had signed a
contract with an amusement company in
Trenton, n. j. for his daughter to ex-
hibit. Craft begged. pleaded. threatened.
but to no purpose. He called at police
headquarters and received advice. Yes
terday he called and secured a warrant
charging false pretenses.
The warrant was served by Detectives
Barbee and VermilliOn IL was learned
that the girl had been shipped 10 Tren-
ton, with her nurse and attendant.
Craft and other promoters are angry.
The widely advertised princess is gone.
There is a gayly decorated palace stand
ing vacant, and glaring signs telling Of
her coming, are causing large throngs to
gather In front of what was to have been
her domiCile. In view Of these ciTcum-
stances. the promoters are determined TO
do something.
They are going 10 have that princess,
even II an injunction or writ of attach
ment or some other kind of legal paper
is needed 10 get her.
