Among New York's magistrates
there are some decidedly queer spec

make himself ridiculous by some

and, when he refused to give them
money, they followed him for some
distance, threatening him and insult

man, he had the two beggers arrest

magistrate hold court is infested
with panhandlers of every descrip-
ton, many of them notorious crooks.

During the last few years quite a
number of old landmarks. most
ly buildings erected in colonial days
and more or less interesting on ac-
count of historical associations, were
destroyed by fire in or around New
York. Nearly in every case circum-
stances clearly indicated incendiar-
ism, but not in a single case were
the police authorities able to obtain
clue to the supposed incendiaries
