BOY DESERTS HIS HOME RATHER
THAN A NEW FOUND STRAY DOG.

Rather than desert a friendly fox terrier
he had picked mp in the streets and which
his father would not allow him to keep at
home, eleven-year-old Henry Harff OF Nc.
80 Greenwich street, left home ten days ago
and for more than q week shared pot luck
with his new found friend, dividing with
him what food be could obtain and sleep
ing in cellars and doorways. A complaint
from the boys father, John Harff, a fish
pedlar, to the Children's Society led to the
boy being taken before Judge Wyatt in the
Children's Court.
Henry said he was coming home one day
when he noticed he was being followed BY
a small fox terrier. The throwing of mum
berless sticks had no effect in frightening
the animal away, for the wait merely sat ON
his launches and cooked his head to- one
side in On inquiring fashion.
That, Henry told Judge Wyatt, settled
the matter, and he took the dog home.
hoping against hope that his father would
consent to having him in the house. Mr.
Harff, however, had small use for stray dogs
and put down his o sitive veto. Henry
took the dog and left.
The ten days during which the two little
derelicts lived from hand to mouth ended
when they were picked up at Hudson and
Leroy streets on Monday. When the boy
appeared before Judge wyatt he was
asked:-
"Why did you leave homer
Then he told his story. The Court said
that the Catholic Protectory seemed to be
the best place TO send him, aad the boy at
once eagerly asked if there would be any
chance for him to make some money there
"Why do you want TO know that ?" asked
the Court.
'r!So's [ can make enough to have the dog
taken care of till I get out" said the youth
full prisoner.
The Magistrate told him that there would
be no chance for him to make money at the
Protectory, but that he would see that the
dog was sent to the Bide-a-Wee Home foE
dogs, where he would be properly cared
for.-N. Y. Herald.

Of the roof. While Keer was trying to get
the B~ranchtown Fire Company on the tele-
phoue, William Elkins, son of George ".
Elkins, called up the house from the city to
order a carriage to meet him at the train.
He broke in on the connections heard the
conversation between Kerr and the fire
company and rushed out to the estate in DIN
automobile just in time to see the walls IN
the centre of the building fall in.
All of the fire companies had long funs,
and it was more than half an hour before
the first company reached the scene. BY
that time the whole roof of the house was
ablaze, but most of the valuables Lad been
carried out, and pictures, marbles and price
less tapestries to- the value of hundreds of
thousands of dollars Uttered the lawn.
The members of the Ekins and Widen
er families had been congratulating them-
selves that all of the art treasures had been
saved, when about seven o'clock, just as the
flames were almost out, q fireman working
ON the second floor was seen walking along
the roof bearing q picture on the end of his
frehook.
The picture was handed to the ground
and was found to be the "Miss Mears," by
Sir Joshua Reynolds, which, although small,
is Of great value. Valuable linens, tapestries
and a priceless sot of porcelain china were
lost in the fire, but beyond this it is not
known what was destroyed. -Bid.

DEAD MAN STEERS FLYING MERGE.
DIES.

With q dead man at the steering wheel
q mercedes automobile was stopped last
night only an instant before two other oc-
cupants OF the car would have been dashed
over the sea wall of Ocean Parkway into
the ocean.
That the automobile had es aped collision
With scores of others in the Parkway at the
time was considered little less dat marvel
lous.
Stephen w. Anderson, twenty-four years
old of 257 State Street, owner and driver of
the automobile, which he had just bought, had
invited John b. Lord, of jamaica, and Mi s
Lillian Cohen, twenty years old, of SIT Clas-
son avenue, to accompany him on his first
ride in the car. They were to meet his
mother and younger brother at Coney Island
aud return together.
Entering the Ocean Park way Lord who was
on the back seat, saw his friend civ the au-
tcmobile its highest speed and shoot past
other machines. When Anderson did not
slow down Lord supposed he had been
challenged by % following car and proceeded
10 enjoy the race. He became alarmed,
however, when he saw % mounted policeman
place himself in their path and signal them
to stop. Only the quickness of the police
mans horse saved him from being ridden
down..
Lord reached forward to touch his friend
on the shoulder, and catching sight of his
face, saw that something was wrong. He
leaped over into the front seat, moved An
derson from the wheel and stopped the auto
mobile just as Policeman Joseph Carly came
up in pursuit. They saw at once That Ander-
son was dead, but decided to hurry to the
Reception Hospital at Coney Island as quick
ly rs possible. A minute later tho car
would have reached the ocean wall.
DR.. Michaelis, at the Reception Hospital,
said Anderson had been dead for sew
eral minutes and that n pulmonary hemor-
orage was probably the cause---Neao YORK;

by lightning this afternoon at the height of

METHODS OF TWO LEVY COURTS.

HE Kent County Levy Court seems TO be
handling the question of the alleged ir-
reguarities in that county with soft gloves The
court has postponed action until its next session
and the public are told that there is no need for
hurry, that the matter will be attended to ar tho
proper time. This is a mistake
There is need for hurry, and the proper time
for some authentic statement on the part of the
court is at present-NOW
What are the irregularities, if there are any.
and why doesn't the Levy Court come out with a
statement that will reply to its critics7 If there
are any irregularities, the court is pursuing A
very foolish course. If there are no irregularities
or II there has been merely disagreement why
does not the court promptly say so and clear ND
the ugly rumors that have been floating around?
In justice to ITSELF in justice to the county and
the taxpayers, and in Justice to the Republican
party, which is held responsible for the court the
investigating committee should not step with
leaden heels in this matter as it appears to be
doing judging by the various postponements
Let the light be turned on the sooner the better
The Sussex County Levy Court is pursuing
policy different from that which the Kent court
seems to be following Lately the court has been
assaied Tor alleged mismanagement. The men-
bers OF the Sussex court have promptly called for
an investigation declaring that it desires fullest
publicity given to all its matters. Those who
nave been making the criticisms are invited TO
come forward and substantiate their charge The
Sussex county Levy Court puts the resolution in
this form:
Whereas, There have appeared in several
newspapers OF this State notably the Mil
ford Chronicle, Sussex Journal and the Sus-
sex Republican, charges direct and indirect
OF extravagant mismanagement, personal
manipulation and graft: and,
Whereas, The Levy Court desires the full
est publicity given to the acts of the Lew
Court in the management of the finances and
public business of the county; therefore be II
Resolved, That the Levy Court extends an
