OLD MAN ACTED
AS A LOTTERY AGENT

New York Sept 9-Through the
arrest of an old man in Henry street
yesterday the police and post office Of
ficials believe they have line on one
of the biggest distributing agencies
of a foreign lottery in the United
States. Post Office Inspector H. G.
Hill has been working on the case
for two years.
The prisoner is David S. Friedman,
20 years old old, who lives with his
daughter, on Henry Street. During
the past two years, Inspector Hill
says, Friedman has received mail in
eleven different places. Neighbors sup
posed the old man to be very wealthy,
although he occupied humble quar-
tiers. Foreign mail came to him
regularly, his neighbors knew, but
they supposed he owned property in
Europe and was receiving an income
from it,
In reality, Inspector Hill says
Friedman was acting as agent for the
Royal Ducal Lottery of the Duchy of
Brunswick, Germany, and had been
selling from $40 to $500 worth of lot
terry tickets daily among people on
the east side. Hill says the old man
has made fortune out of the agen-
cy. The lottery is perfectly legal
in Brunswick, but of course contrary
to the laws of this country
Inspector Hill and Detective Wilbur
of Headquarters went to Friedman
home yesterday and despite the pro
tests of Friedmans daughter that
her father was not at home forced
their way in, and found the old man
sitting on an old leather chair near
a table The table was covered with
cloth.

CHURCH RULED BY
BOSS. PASTOR RETIRES

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 9-The re-
signation of the Rev. DR.. Frank L.
Goodspeed was read in the First
Congregational church today. Dr.
Goodspeed had a salary of $4,000, his
church being one of the largest and
wealthiest of the denomination in the
State. 1t is understood that DR..
Goodspeed's resignation is the result
of pressure on the part of influential
parishioners.
The relations between the pastor
and individual members of the church
have been strained for some time,
principally because of feeling en-
gendered by DR.. Goodspeed's insis-
tence upon speaking his opinion bold
ly. In May DR.. Goodspeed delivered
a radical discourse, in which he as
serted that the church was ruled by a
boss, and that oftentimes the church
boss was both arrogant and ignorant
and entirely lacking in the better
qualities of some political bosses. 1t
is understood that this sermon Wa.
the last straw.
DR. Goodspeed's letter of resigna-
ton, a decidedly interesting docu-
ment, states that he does not care to
continue the work of the church sin
gle handed 1t is said that split
in the First Church, which was or
ganized in 1886, may result if DR.
Goodspeed's resignation is accepted.

'STICKERS" TO WIN
HIM PRESIDENCY
Candidate No. 5 Has TerSe
Platform.

Chicago, H., Sept. 9.-Another cam
d tie has entered the running for the
Presideney-No. s in the entries for
the White House sweepstakes. He
is George Devany, of Nokomis. ILL.,,
a hamlet of 1871 persons, in Mont
gomery county
Without the formality of conven-
ton and without even waiting for a
notification speech, Deyany heralds
his candidacy in the way that is
nothing if not unique.
He is going to crowd William Jen-
nings Bryan out of it. How? BY get
ting the farmer to paste slips bearing
his name over the name of Bryan or
any other name on the electoral tick
ct" as Candidate No. s, calls it.
To save the voters unnecessary
trouble Deyany has prepared tickers,
neatly gummed, just like a postage
stamp, and he announces to his pros
pective constituents that "a lick for
me is a lick against Bryan"
The platform of the latest candi-
date is the shortest on record 1t is
even more decollete than the post
card platform of the Prohibitionists,
and reads:
Dollar wheat, 15-cent cotton, So
cent corn, Scent hogs"
A paramount issue is merely an
undemonstrated brainstorm of politi-
Clans says Devany. Business men,
merchants, and producing farmers de-
mand facts to be established at sight
in farmers homes before votes are
deposited"
And after this savage thrust at
the other seven candidates for the
Presidency, Devany proceeds to I'M
fold his scheme. 1t runs thus:
The candidate asserts that he has
organized $5,000,000 to advance cash
at 50 per cent of the market price
on grain He is going to enlarge
this SO as to handle the total crops of
wheat, corn, cotton and hogs for the
next twenty years.
The candidate has also arranged
$7,000,000 to sell furniture to farm
ers on credit, like the installment
houses"
The candidate has furthermore or
ganized more than 100 of the largest
factories in America to exchange
goods with our farmers. These fac
tories represent over $100,O00,O0O of
capital"
In view of these arrangements, De-

A PRETTY IDEA
in AUTUMN WEAR
Checked Stripes Make Pref.
ty PIeated Skirts.

ance of summer muslinS from the
shop windows and the presence of
a distinct chill in the evening air
both warn women to turn their
thoughts toward suitable garments
for the coming autumn.
Quite the newest and most dis
tinctive fashion for the autumn will
be the pretty plaid skirts made after
a model recently worn in Paris.
The material for these skirts is
specially woven in very wide alter
nate stripes of check and plain color
ing.
In the making the check is folded
right under the self-colored stripe,
and the upper part of the skirt APP
pears to be made of plain material
only The wide pleats thus formed
are stitched down for at least twelve
inches below the waist, and then
hang free for the check stripe to
display itself with every movement
of the Wearer.
The effect is excellent, and the
colors and designs of these materials
are really charming. The plaids are
woven in delicate lines of color on a
white, gray, or biscuit ground, ana
either harmonic, with the plain stripe
or are in distinct contrast to it.
Artistic DiscOrds
The leading shades are cinnamon
every hue of green, dark blue, or
violet, but first and above all mar

brown that blends so perfectly with

These colors are given in an end

| discords. A dark green looks well
with an alternate stripe of dull red
on a white ground; cinnamon with :,

pleasing combination, or to reverse
