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

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

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. '
