Platts Mills on passing through the grove saw that it had been pretty well cleared of dead wood and brush. From a legal standpiont this was theft. but 1t harmed no one and un- doubtedly did someone some good. Maybe kept an otherwise cold house and a lot of small children comfort able many bitter night So nothing was said about the removal of the loose wood and brush to the owners of Boulder Grove.
 A little later the same employees or the Mills saw that someone had cut down some big trees and carted them off. A few days later more trees were removed and then watch was kept with the result that Villain was found in the Grove yesterday loading up his team with cut wood.
 Attorney Bauhy counsel for the ac- cused tried to show that the wood was dead wood and brush picked up along the roadway and fin the grove but the three witnesses for the state testified the wood was cut Into cord lengths and was excellent wood. Villani used to go regularly to the grove, it seems loaded up his team and in this way had fuel almost all winter long. He was committed to jail for thirty days and an appeal was taken. The half dozen lawyers who were in the court got together after court was over and related the incidents of hard luck which began this article.

HARD LUCK STORIES
Man Cut Wood on the Estate of
 (. M. Plati.

The times are dealing harshly with some men. Yesterday a man entered the office of the tax collector in the City hall and startled collector Reeves out of a years growth besides spread ing alarm among the girl clerks there by saying he would drop "a dynamo" unless he would get work. Mir Reeves looked at the man sharply and found that while he was not an anarchist he was still looking for job.
 Yesterday also, q man accosted a lawyer in the Odd Fellows building with recommendation for work from well known citizen to Mayor Thoms. After he was informed where he might find the mayor he told story of hard luck and large family.
 Pasquale Villani, however. though seemingly as hard pinched as the two cases just mentioned, did not tell his story to anybody. He just looked about him and took a walk. This is said to have been some months ago. His walk took him along Boulder Grove, near Platts Mills and from that time he has been doing fairly well. but in way that caused him to be committed to jail for thirty days to-day. Villani was arrested yester- dey charged with theft of half cord of wood worth S2 from the estate of the late c. M.- Platt, which, it seems owns Boulder Grove. ..

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Brooklyn Athletic club will resume it's Saturday evening dances immediately after Easter.
 Mrs Raymond Fisher of South Leonard street, who has been con- fined to her home the past six weeks with pneumonia, is able to be out.
 Miss Isabelle Dempsey of New York. who has been visiting MT and Mrs Jeremiah Devine of Bank street the past few days, has returned home.
 St Anne's base ball team is the first of the teams that compose the Junior Amateur league to deposit it's $10 with Joseph A. Smith, the treas urer. The money of all the teams is supposed to be handed in by this evening.
 The Brooklyn polo team will go to Bridgeport this evening. where 1t will play its final game of the sea son with the amateurs of that city. The Brooklynites are receiving good guarantee for going down. The game is a benefit for the Bridgeport amateurs.
 The Duggan school is without a flag pole. The pole which has done service since 1892, two years after the school was built, was taken down last evening as it was deemed unsafe. The pole lay in the yard to-day but will soon be chopped up and carted away. It is a mammoth pole, seventy feet in length. The base, which was thought 10 be any, thing but strong. was found to be In very good condition. The pole was erected on Columbus day, October 12, 1892.
 Ut was said that trains going into the West Main street station would slow mp at the Bank street trestle when the Bank street station was abolished. For the first day or so they stopped near the tele- graph station at the point mentioned, but now they go tearing by unless the block is closed. When they slow down Brooklyn passengers have chance to jump of, and they find themselves right in their own back yard. Of course it is impossible for women to alight while the train is moving, no matter how slowly, but men find it very convenient when the flyers slow down almost 70 walk.
 If you have to suffer from any of the ills that flesh is heir to, it may be necessary to see a doctor. The important thing is to get your pre- scription filed where you are sure of careful attention and pure drugs Walker, the Brooklyn druggist, fills the bill in this respect.

TO APPOINT SERGEANT
Meeting is Scheduled For This
 Afternoon at 4 O'Clock.

This afternoon at o'clock the
 board of public safety will hold an adjourned meeting for th5 purpose of electing a sergeant in the police force and four policemen. At police headquarters notice has been posted informing the regular and supernumerary policemen that an ex- animation for these posts will take place this afternoon at 1 o'clock and any regular policeman is eligible for the sergeancy and that there is noth- ing in the world to prevent him talk ing the examination. There are but six candidates for the post and it is not likely that the board will go out side of those. The six are John J. Bergin, John Cavanaugh, Finton Tehan, James E. Halpin. Timothy J. Hickey and John J. Bowling.
 Following is the list Of eligible supernumeraries for the regular force: Robert SmithwiciS, A. J. Williams, Edward Nolan, w. A. Me- Kennerney, Richard F. LeRoy. John Fitzgerald, T. J. Mccarthy, w. M. Wallace, John Moore, Michael Mans- field, T. w. Lynch, John Hickey, Jerry or Jeremiah Hunihan, M. J. Horan. Christopher Harmon, Thom- as Grady, c. E. Gallagher, Timothy Donahue and John Delehanty.
 It is reported that the board is split up on choice for sergeant. Commissioner Griffin is said to favor Patrolman Cavanaugh, Commission CT Spain is reported to have made his choice on Patrolman Bergin, Pa trolman Hickey is said to be the fa- vorite of Commissioner Minor, and Patrolman Halpin is said to have the support of the mayor. Singularly enough, Patrolman John Brickel has not been mentioned for the post at all, notwithstanding that q long pe- tition favoring his appointment was received from number of German societies by the board some time ago.

said that the earnings of all engaged
in distribution represent small
commission for performing a service
and the aggregate of the earnings of
any one of them-the jobber, his
agent and the retailer-is dependent
upon his labor and his business sagac-
ity When these three factors in dis
tribution be cut out just as expensive
system must be substituted. In case
of the manufacturer who sells his
products direct to the consumer, he
has large advertising bills TO pay. and
a hundred little expenses which the
manufacturer who sells his products
through regular established channels
does not have to bear.
When a cooperative store is estab-
lished with few hundred stockhold-
e-s as its patrons it is generally found
that it cannot be operated at lower
expense than if conducted by an indi.
vidal, and it soon ceases to exist.

Editor Realizes Situation.

1t has come to a time when the
business man must take note of the
mail order concerns. They are con-
tinually growing larger and taking
more trade out Of the smaller towns.
Of course we all know that it is not
right for Williamsburg people to send
their money to Chicago or New York
or other places for their groceries.
dry goods, etc, when we have people,
neighbors and friends selling the
same goods right at home. The local
merchant has no one to blame but
himself for the condition which now
exists. This may be little hard but
it is true. Many of the local mer-
chants do not let their old customers,
and prospective new ones, know of
the articles they keep by advertising
them. The mail order houses are the
largest and most successful advertis-
ers in the world. and without adver-
Using they could do no business. Now.
If they can afford to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars year to keep
their old customers informed and to get
new ones, the local merchant could put
a big "kink' in the mailorder business
by adopting the same method on a
smaller scale.-Wilkinsburg (Pa)
