Invitation to the Thief.

From the New York Sun.
The police complain daily that a
large proportion of jewellers in New
York aid and assist by their careless
ness the sneak thieves who compose
large majority Of the plunderers in
New York. Breaking and entering at
night is crime relatively infrequent
even in the outskirts of the town, but
the looting of flats. apartments and
houses in broad daylight is common.
Only few years ago a police captain
whose precinct included the homes of
many rich persons living in private
houses sent his detectives out on an
expedition in which they found doors
unlocked servants inattentive and ev-
cry facility offered for robbery in es-
Establishments where every precaution
should have been taken. Since that
time the heedlessness OF householders
and tenement jewellers quitting their
homes for vacations or outings and
leaving windows open, doors unlocked
and valuable articles temptingly dis
played has been sorrowfully comment
ed on by more than one police author
ity.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
The Curbstone

From the Baltimore American.
The police department of Whining
ton, Del, has begun a crusade, the pur-
pose OF which is the suppression of
the male charmers who are accus-
toned to line up along the shopping
thoroughfares and practice their blan-
dishments upon the young women who
pass. Saturday evening is always a
festive occasion for the curbstone
masher. and on last Saturday evening
the Wilmington police made several
arrests for "ogling." There are va
rieties Of ogling, and there is abund-
there is one variety at least that is
offensive to regard for the proprie-
ties that should be enforced in all pub
lie places. The curb-stone masher is
a nuisance that has for long infested
some of the leading shopping locali-
ties of this city. He ought to be sup
pressed and if there is no city ordi-
nance under which the disgusting
practice can be prevented, there ought
to be such a statute provided without
delay. 1t is quite possible that the
majority of the youths who array
themselves in their most gorgeous ap-
parel and stand along the pavements,
ogling and Sinking at the young girls
who pass, have no worse motive than
the qualification of a small vanity.
When one Of these youthful Washers
succeeds in winning a return glance
or the flicker OF a sympathetic smile,
his soul is doubtless thrilled with the
tribute thus paid to his personal
charms

Then Attorney Keller gave notice to
Squire Hanson Of an appeal from his
decision to the Wayne circuit court;
the warning ntigants picked up their
belongings, departed on their ways.
and the court settled back for another
decade of rest.
An effort was made by Attorney
Mason on behalf of his client, Mrs.
Flemming, to compromise the case,
but this was refused. and SO the mat

court, perhaps duIing the latter part
of this month.
1t is safe to say that Squire Hanson
will watch with interest the proceed

er Judge Fox sustains or overrules
his version Of the law.

Owing to the advance Of United

OwInS 70 the advance OF United
States steel the stock market frequent.
ly presents an appearance of great
strength. The rise in this issue has
been phenomenal, and must be attrib-
uted to the unprecedented activity Of
the steel industry. The demand for
steel has marvelously increased, and
as prices have advanced this great
corporation is of necessity enjoying L
period Of unequalled prosperity. The
output this month has been record
breaking. and our railroads, after a
period Of economy, are now making
improvements and extensions which
were deferred as long as possible. The
outlook for some months to come if
not for full year, is that the rail-
roads will be heavy buyers Of steel in
its various forms: and since they are
the largest consumers of steel pro-
ducts it is easy to understand the opti-
mistic feeling regarding steel securi-
ties. The great rise in the latter will
of course assist their distribution,
and the immense holdings which have
been concentrated in Wall Street will
eventually be widely scattered. II is
useless to belittle this spectacular
movement in steel shares. The latter
simply reflect the rise of this industry
from pauper to prince within a few
short months and constitute one more
proof of the remarkable vitality and
mercurial buoyancy of the American
Steel industry. Nothing like it has
ever been seen in any other country.
and probably nothing will. for nowhere
else does such a lusty and youthful in
dustrial giant exist as in the United
States.
AS just said. the stock market is en-
tirely overshadowed. or. in fact. domi-
mated by the rise in steel shares. There
are other conditions affecting the stock
market. but they are overlooked or 60
ing through a series of changes, some
of which are beneficial and some Of
which are not. Prosperity-a better
term would be activity-is very I'M
evenly distributed; for while some in
dustries and some sections of the couu-
try are enjoying the flood-tide, there
are others still patiently awaiting
their share, and some are facing reac-
tionary conditions. 1t cannot be con-
cealed that the falling of the cotton
and corn crops below expectations is 4
distinct detriment. Some compensa-
ton may be found in the high and very
profitable prices which these staples
now command. but the planter who has
little cotton to sell and the consumer
whose purchasing abilities are dwarfed
by the high prices. will hardly consider
themselves in the ranks OF prosperity
1t is we'll known also that the high lev
ell of prices generally imposes more or
less discontinue upon many classes
who are not sharing our so-called pros
perity. Moreover. the situation is not

Washington, Oct. 4-The circulation

wholly among enlisted men, of social
istic pamphlets and other documents
OF seditious character, is again at
tracing the attention of the author.
ties. Some time ago it was discovered
that socialists. principally from Chi
cago. were attempting to conduct al
organized movement among the men
of the army and navy. with the view of
their conversion to socialism. Some
of the literature" circulated among
the men was traced by secret service
agents to headquarters of the social
lists in California and Chicago. The
first appearance Of these pamphlets
was noted among sailors of the Allan
tic fleet in San Francisco. The PAM
phlets advised members OF the crews
OF the warships to desert and not leni
themselves to war purposes. A large
number of bundles of the same pam
phlets were struggled aboard the ships
addressed to various individuals who
were asked to distribute them among
the crews. In every instance the mat
ter was reported to the proper officers
and the seditious documents thrown in
to the ships furnaces. The naval au-
thorities thought this effort to TAM
per with the patriotism Of the tars
hardly worth bothering about. as while
the ''literature' was in circulation de-
sertions were actually fewer than at
any other time.
Ceased Short Time.
Some inquiry was made Of the post
office department as to the ADVISABLE
ty of excluding such publications from
the mails. 1t is understood postoffice
inspectors warned the publishers and
there was a cessation for the time be-
ing on the part of the propagandists.
Recently. however, the navy depart.
ment has learned that the socialists
are again active and are flooding the
navy with documents designed to make
the sailors and marines disconnected
with the service.
The army has recently received some
attention on the part of the would-be
revolutionists. So far as can be asce:-
tanned, the circulars and other printed
matter calling on the privates to
abandon the flag have had no effect.
1t is we'll known that the enlisted men,
while some of them are chronic
"kickers," are always ready to resent
the slightest aspersion cast on the SER
vice by outsiders. Probably NOBODY
in the United States army could be
brought to believe that they have been
enlisted in a service where they are
little better than serfs." as the pam
phlets asserted. There is not the re-
hottest possibility of the army or navy
becoming infected with the doctrine
advocated in the pernicious socialistic
pamphlets The naval authorities in
tend to put an end to the movement
which is regarded as open enmity t.
the government.
