" : ' - ' STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD XEW YORK. v. ; ' ' r " --' New , York, Aug. 26. Meat prices have gone up and are still continuing their upward movement as if they in tended to establish an altitude record. The poor consumrs of New York, with the emphasis on the "poor" will have the alternative of choosing be tween bankrupting themselves to buy meat and pulling their belts tighter after having stricken meat from their bill of fare.' It is alleged that tSe higher prices ot corn "compelled" the meat trust to raise the price of meat, as if . the meat trust ever bothered about bo trivial a "thing as a sufficient reason for Us doings. Whatever the' primary cause may be or may have heen, the fact remain, that the tmst iawy for tns ietenM flnnouncM to ha. given the Jack screw forcing uptoe conrt that w, d,ent pleaded ol0 the prices another turn and the retail ers, not to be outdone, gave the same screw tot one but two or three turns. If the packers raise the price one cent a pound, the retailers promptly charge to th-a customers from two to five cents more per pound; Many people are of the opinion that it is about time to reopen the cold-Btorage Inves tigation. Three New York detectives, attach ed to some cJ the Brooklyn police sta tions, distinguished themselves the other day by a clever piece of work, for which: they deserve considerable credit. A physician, returning from a confinement case at .&igliU was run down on his way home- by a speeding auto and killed. The auto, which car ried five men at the time, sped on af ter having run down the physician and was quickly lost In the darkness. With practically no clue for a work ing basis the three detectives began their Investigation and search for the machine and before 24 hours bad pas s;d they had hot only . found the ma clInei but arrested every one of the (Ie men who bad been In the machine that fateful night. What made the achievement of the detectives even husi-imore notewnrthy was the fact that they nad foun(1 tne maci,Ine and ar- . " ... ' .

The other n'ght a good-sized trunk was found on the street at Fifteenth ; streei; and Fourth avenue! When it was opened, it was found to contain- four coats, 9 vests, 11 outing pairs of socks, seven suits of under wear, nine handkerchiefs, one pair of white kid glovea, 96 collars, 21 pairs of cuffs and but one solitary pair of trousers.

'l ii1 Mayor Gaynor is a man of many ac complishments and of an outspoken ness that is quite startling , at times, the other day he gave the most con- incing proof that he has the making d merary crltlc jn hjm a glft hitherto unsuspected by the general j i "die. Some time ago the committee on book selection of the public library decided to exclude from the shelves of the library a new, novel of stage Ufa by an American author, Mildred Hol land, president of the Actors' Church AMiance, wrote a letter to Mayor Gay ,inr, protesting against this decision t.f the library ' board and contending that the novel was by no means lm-' moral. , Mayor Gaynor obtained .a ropy of the Look and having read It, sent a letter to Miss Holland, answer ing hit protest.,'' With the utmost candor he '.n formed Miss Holland that he had read the book and had found It quite harmless but very stupid and that he felt sure the book had been excluded for no other reason than Its stupidity.' ;''':, ,'V;, ''',; Some of the magistrates and justice ot New York are trot particularly fa mous for their knowledge of legal phraseology.

The contendore," but the presiding justice had never heard of such a thing and wanted to know what it meant. . The I lawyer explained, but the Justice in-! formed him that he would not permit any quibbling and would accept only a direct plea of guilty or not guilty. The defendant pleaded guilty and was promptly sentenced to a fine of $100 or two months In the workhouse. ' When the trained dogs, which 'form part of the police force of Greater New York and assist In protecting the sparsely settled districts on the out skirts of the city, were sent to Park vllle about a year ago, the residents were overjoyed. Choice titbits were left on the front Btoopa In which the dogs might regale themselves on their midnight patrol, for the residents were certain that th presence of the watch ful dogs would keep all burglars and other evil doers out of their district The dogs made a fine record, helped to make many arrestg and kept burglar lea at a, minimum, yet there is grow ing dissatisfaction among the resi dents, who have complained to the board of health that the police dogs disturb their slumber with their rau cous barking. As the residents 06 Parkville seem to prefer burglars to barking dogs, the police dogs will be ttanafrr) - tv StAten Island. harl the people do not mind the barking of dogs half so much as the safety of their homes.
