 Just before daylight the other day Constables Slavin and Sibley, of Hill- burn, arrested the girl and Fred Monroe in the Hillburn Bronze Metal Works, which they were preparing to rob, 1t is alleged.
 The McElroy girl had her hair tightly braided and the braids con cealed under a cap. When the girl was locked up she became hystericaI for a time, but all efforts to get in- formation from her regarding the other robberies in Rockland county proved futile.

 Mrs. KiIlaen Van Rensselaer,, her son Stephen and William B. Black well, interested parties to the con test, have testified to acts of irration- ality or intimated that their relative was not of sound mind.
 Blackwell told of calling on Howard Townsend, Miss Campbells man of business, and telling him the relatives intended to contest, as they knew Miss Campbell was of unsound mind, and in reply MT. Townsend had re marked:

 It developed that Mrs. Campbell, sister-in-law of Miss Campbell, had found many past due dividend checks and coupons in the rooms of the tes- tatrix. The entire amount so found footed up nearly $136,OO0, and some of the checks were three or four years old.
 It also developed that on December IA, 1905, a check for $1OO,OOO, and again, on November 19. 1906, a check for $25O,OOO had been given by Miss Campbell to her brother.

IN LEISURE MOMENTS
DESIGNING OLD 8EDsPREADs Is
 THE LATEST FAD.
Two Ideas That Are Both Popular and Effective Are in Strip or the Diamond Design of Twlne or
 Monks Cloth.

Young girls have found . way to keep their nimble fingers busy in the making of rather odd bedspreads, appropriate mostly for the rooms of bachelor brothers, friends or even uncles.
 Of these new bedspreads there are two kinds-those made of twine and those made of monks cloth. Both are popular and effective. It is matter of taste with a young girl whether she wishes to crochet a twine bed spread or to sew together and rough ly embroider one of monks cloth.
 The twine bedspreads have taken the place in the working of neck ties for crochet work. Happily they are not all made in one piece, but of many small squares or diamonds, ac- cording to the design, which are sewn together later. It is therefore an easy matter to carry about in the workbag one or two pieces in process of ma king and to take them out whenever an opportunity offers for little light crocheting.
 The so-called twine used for these bedspreads comes in large balls Ike those of ordinary twine, and can be purchased at either fancy or depart ment shops. The needle should be of size that handles well the par ticular thickness of twine necessary for the selected design.
 Some girls are making these bed spreads in strips after designs long known in connection with afghans, and prefer them to the those that are made out of numbers of small squares or diamonds. The strip de- sign gets rid of the labor of sewing the many small pieces together. It is also equally pretty. The designs made in small squares or diamonds are real ly more elegant, for they follow pat terms suggestive of cluny lace and arc done with finer twine than those in strips. They are more for the young girls own bedroom than for that of the bachelor brother The successful note about such work is that 1t pro duces an immediate stylish effect. And once made such bedspreads last forever.

New Bind of an old Raos.

Tanning Island, in the mid-Paciic ocean, which was recently purchased by British Canadian syndicate for use as coaling station, is the scene of remarkable discoveries, the news of which was brought by the steam ship Makura, which arrived at Van- couver, B. C.. on Dec. IS. Archaeo- logical explorations have brought to view indications that the island was inhabited at some long-ago period by a race with peculiar skill in architec- ture. Excavations there have un- earthed large stone building, 50 feet wide and 200 feet long, in the con- struction of which no mortar was used, the stones used having been skillfully mortised together.
 Near by this strange structure was found tomb containing a human skeleton with a necklace made of the teeth of the sperm whale. and of oth- CT articles, including the skull of a dog.

Eskimo Wife Useful.

Eskimo widowers often marry again within a week after the demise of the wife. The helpmate of the savage does most of the work, and he is al most helpless without her.

Dances Planned for City Buildings

ID OSTON-Public dances in mu. ID nicipal buildings. with proper re. strictions and chaperonage, is the suggestion advanced by Miss Alice IP. Vanston of the Social Service House, as a remedy for the conditions ln the dance halls.
 T want to say first of all," Miss Vanston replied, when asked her opin- ion on the dance problem, that there should be some place where the girls and boys can dance. It may be that the chief injury done by the public dance halls comes from the fact that very young children are admitted to them.
 Boys and girls get their first and only idea of dancing from what they see in these halls. The remedy for this has been suggested in the rais- Ing of the age limit from seventeen to twenty-one years. This would cut out from the enjoyment of a very inno- cent recreation a very large number of young people. The enforcement of proper conditions and careful su- pervision would be better, it seems to me, than this discipline by elimina- tion.
 When a girl is shut up in a fac tory all day she must have some other exercise, and dancing gives her 8 good general exercise, which she can enjoy with music and among her equals.
 Every neighborhood should have 8 building where the men who pay taxes and their wives and children

STERN VERDICT OF SCIENCE

Editor star: The excerpts published
in your editorial columns yesterday on
The Evils of Alcohol" as taken from
a recent address by a distinguished
medical scientist. should be read and
pondered by all Of our people. There
can be no question as to The correct
ness of mis- statements. The statements
Of DIR. MacNicholls are not the deduc-
tions Of Temperance fanatics wv. c.
T I'll frenzies,' nor pulpit plausible
aies.'f It is the stern arraignment Of
science, after the closest scrutiny of
all the facts, and should provoke the
utmost seriousness a the hands Of
those who hold manhood in esteem
above the sordid business interests
which are said to center about the traf
fic in alcoholic beverages. That an in
teIligent community can consent to
license the sale and unlimited use of a
commodity which works such havoc TO
the body polite, as is described by DR..
MacNichoIls. is in itself an evidence of
mental weakness and moral degeneracy
which argues ILL., Would legal priv
ilege be asked for the manufacture and
sale of bread the influence Of which
upon its users should vie with that ex
ercised by alcohol upon its devotees?
10 ask Is 10 answer the question. W ny
then do we license the traffic in al
cohol? Because some of the people de-
mand it?" Some of "the people" de
manded that the Titanic should be
driven at top speed, regardless of
| menace to life and property. Did that
| justify the results? International law
| says mo-" and says it with so much
emphasis, that speed madness" must
yield to sane methods Because legal

| this be true, and a valid reason for

| ing symptom of the dreadful conditions
noted by the eminent authority whose
address cited provokes this communi-
cation. Fortunately, however, this is
not true. As evidenced in the state of

ton can be as reasonably we'll enforc-
