the uneasines among the numerous members of the grating fraternity.
 The citizens are becoming somewhat tired of the existing state of affairs and are complaining of the lack of protec- tiOn against depredations by criminals In the mean while the investigation still continues and the end is not yet in sight. District Attorney Whitman deserves a great deal of credit for his relentless work in cleaning up the Au-
 gean stable of graft in the police de- | partment. The better classes among the citizens are in full sympathy with | the efforts of the district attorney, yet | few of them are optimistic enough to ! believe that the elimination and pun 1 iShm%nt of q score or so of grafterS in l the police force will put an end to 1 grafting in the department One set ] of grafters may be removed but after
 the excitement has blown over. there will probably be another set of graf ! ters to take the places of the men dis
 charged The system seems to be ! wrong and the temptation too great. | A well dressed woman. accompanied d | years and man about twenty-five years, whose legs are so badly crippled 1 that he can only get around on his 1 hands and knees. made an early morn ! ing call at the house of the town clerk | of Riverhead. l.. l., the other day to 1 obtain q license for the marriage of her daughter to the cripple. When the
 clerk learned that the girl was under l age and had been taken away from her mother and placed in an institution by the authorities because she had been ! reared in an improper environment he | refused to issue the license without the 1 consent of the probation officer who | was appointed the girls legal guar dian. The trio departed in an autOmo- 1 bile and tried to obtain a license from
 the town clerk at Patchogue. The li-
 cense was refused and the party | crossed the river to New Jersey, evi-
 dently determined to obtain a license. The probation officer in whose charge
 the girl is supposed to be was notified
 and is making efforts to locate the trio
 and to find out whether the girl and 1 the cripple were married. If the mar
 riage was performed the probation of l ficer intends to prosecute the cripple | and the mother of the girl. It has been 1 learned that on coming of age the girl
 will come into possession of about s20, 1 900 left to her by her father
 ] The Academy of Misappled Arts | held it's first annual vanishing day reception in the auditorium in the new | Lighthouse for the Blind" in East 1 tlfty- y-ninth street. The academy is | composed of all the leading artists and l sculptors of New York and the eXhibi- | tion arranged by them was really burlesque upon the insanity of the Gu 1 blstS, FuturiStS.. Post -ImpreSSiOniStS | and others of that ilk, who recently ! held an exhibition in the Sixty ninth 1 Regiment Armory. The Academy" | exhibition was a bowling success. About two hundred pictures and works | of sculptors were exhibited in which ! the artists tried to "out-cube the Gu bists and put the F'uturists into the | middle of the past tense"
 John Tanfield, clerk, died under peculiar circumstances the other day lie came to the Prospect Heights Hos pltai, Brooklyn, to. visit his wife who IS a patient there. While waiting in the reception room for admission to his Wlfe's room Tanfield suffered an apopletic stroke and when the nurse came into the reception room to inform nm that his wife was ready to receive him, she found the man dead.
