IN that between-season period, when
the Summer trade is on the wane and
It Is ye too soon for the Fall fashions

merchant makes display of his moat at
tractive wares, and just now, although

complete and the question of Fall
clothes still comfortably distant, yet many
tempting- things for the ruin of one's
bank account may be found on a shop

tone and the swathings of pink chiffon

PROTECTORS OF CHILDREN BECOME TYRANTS
Gerry Society Arrests Babies Because Nurse Gets Drunk New York Leads Cities in Tenement Evils Murphy
Discards His Motorboat Little Mac Holy Jumpers Are Newest Sect.
BY LLOTD T. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2S. (Special.) The
unfortunate experience of a well-to
do broker and his wife has again
brought the Garry Society before the pub
lic in an unfavorable light. The broker,
one David J. Hurray, is planning to go to
law. but anybody who knows can teU
him that the only way to fight this
autocratic organization Is through the
courts.
The Murrays have two children David,
S years old, and Wilhelmlna, aged IS
months. They employ a, nurse, and the
other day that servant took the young
sters out for a walk. During this ex
cursion the woman drank so enthusi
astically that she was arrested, while
the children were sent to the rooms of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children,
When the parents heard what had hap
pened they drove in their auto to the
society's rooms and were frantic to learn
that they could not regain their little
ones. The officials even refused to al
low the mother to see them, and declined
to feed the baby a special brand of milk
she offered, although she explained that
her physician bad ordered it,
Cjod Enough for Your Kid."
-What's good enough for the other
brats is good enough for your kid." was
the brutal remark made to the woman.
The upshot of the matter was that the
babies remained prisoners all night and
were arraigned In the Children's Court
in the morning. Then they were dis
charged, and the parents have absolutely
no redress for the anguish they have
suffered.
It Is alleged that either Mr. or Mrs.
Murray were to blame, for the nurse s
shows a pretty little necklace to be worn
with lingerie frocks. It Is of sapphires,
daintily set In gold, and joined by slender
gold chains. The companion piece to
this is the little coiffure ornament shown
In the sketch, one single sapphire being
placed In the center of a spreading gold
brace which clamps naturally into the
tresses.
In sketch No. 2 is. also shown the new
"Bebe fringe puff-bang," one of the latest
fashions in hair-dressing. The little hair
ornament is employed to nurfk the line
between the thin, dainty little fringe of
"bang" and the puffed coiffure. The
effect is particularly fetching, especially
where the tresses are silky and abun
dant.' The huge size and artistic daintiness of
design in the new brooches and belt buck
les are making them a distinctive acces
sory. No. 4 shows a large round brooch
of oxidized silver with settings of ame
thyst, and No. 7 shows a huge throat or
collar pin of gold, ect with tiny pearls
and sapphires. One of the Jeweled belts
has a little jeweled carfare envelope
purse swung upon it. Another of the
Jeweled purses to be worn hanging from
the belt is sketctied in No. 6.
A new thing in opera bonnets Is the
chic little affair shown in sketch No. 3.
Thls little bonnet Is of blue net. abun
dantly frilled and with a huge bow of
blue satin at the top. A frill of plaited
blue satin ribbon, which encircles the
neck and joins tho headpiece under the
throat in another huge double bow Is
separate from the rest of the bonnet.
violation of law and order. Naturally
when they have a nurse they cannot
be expected to be In constant personal
attendance on their children. But that
did not make any difference to the Gerry
Society. v
Through statutes slipped through the
Legislature at various times this or
ganization Is practically Independent of
the law. so far as the care of children
Is concerned.. The present case has
caused a considerable stir and may have
its effect upon the lawmakers.
But as the Senate and Assembly will
not convene until next January the prob
abilities are that public sentiment will
have died down long before that time.
N'tw Laurels for Xew York.
New York has won new laurels, the
same being awarded by the Committee
on Congestion of Population. This or
ganization states in a carefully prepared
bulletin that "the worst evils of unsani
tary. Immoral and crowded housings are
to be found In New York, with Chicago
second and Philadelphia. St. Louis and
Cleveland following in the order named.
"American cities, regarding such condi
tions, are pronounced to be 25 years be
hind progressive Germany."
Over on the east side of town there
are square blocks with a population of
more than 400. The worst block is on
the west side of "San Juan Hill," occu
pied exclusively by negroes. At the last
count there were 610 residents. . Fre
quent gun fights, murders and robberies
cause the population to fluctuate violent
ly, but there are always new arrivals
to fill vacancies.
"To call such habitations homes is a
mockery." says the report. "There is
no home life and no possible privacy."
At the oflce of the Tenement House
Commission it is admitted that the
long list ofj facts and figures is sub
and, when fastened, leaves an opening
for the Psyche knot or other elaborate
style of coiffure at the back.
The finest and sheerest of hosiery is
being shown, and at prices designed to
instigate the , most reckless revels on
,the part of the feminine shopper. A
feature of the new styles in hosiery are
the Insets of lace, shown in No. 15, and
most of the late Importations have a
double thickness in the fold of the wide
hem at the top. eo as to give body for
the clasp of the hose supporter without
injury to the texture of the sheer, delicate
texture of the stocking. The width of
this double-fold hem la Indicated in the
top of the hose sketched in No. 16. Tho
modish little "mule" slipper for the
boudoir, so called because one may
"kick It on easily," is shown in No. 17.
which is a sketch of a natty little pat
tern in blue satin, with embroidery of
gold tinsel.
Some of the late displays In neckwear
are sketched in Nos. 9, 10, 11. 12. 13 and 14,
No. 12 is a dainty touch of color in blue
velvet ribbon, with silken tassels, to be
worn with the white lingerie frocks.
Some of the new patterns in sleeves,
sketched from the advance models, are
shown in Nos. 18. 19. 20 and 21.
The "Jersey" gown is now seen quite
frequently on Portland streets, in various
Interpretations. One of the smart new
models on display at an exclusive out
fitting establishment Is shown in No. 8
It is of silk Jersey cloth and Is really a
coat suit. It has large Jet buttons, with
a yoke skirt mnde of peau fle cygne silk.

the main.
"But so long as people insist on liv
ing here I do not see what we can do,"
was the hopeless remark of one at
tache. 1 , ;,
Uncle Sam's Money Wasted.
For a number of years Long Island
Congressmen have secured numerous
appropriations for the purpose of
building dikes in Flushing Bay, the
purpose being to deepen the navigable
channel. Thousands of tons of stone
taken from Hell Gate at the time. the
reefs in those waters were blasted out,
were dumped into its dikes. Strange to
say, the work, instead of deepening
the channel, had the opposite effect,
until 'from a deep water bay it had
gradually been changed Into a shal
low, muddy expanse of water, navi
gable only to rowboats at high water.
For several years demands have been
made for the removal of these dikes,
but no appropriation has ever been al
lowed for that purpose. Within the
past few weeks, however, a solution
of the problem has been offered by an
Improvement company that Is filling
in the Flushing meadows and building
canals and wharves. This firm has
volunteered to remove the dikes free
of charge If it. is presented with the
stone which can be used In their work.
The company's engineers . have fig
ured that it would be far cheaper to
get the stone out of the old dikes than
to have it brought there by train or
boats. But the hundreds of thousands
of dollars that has been expended by
the National Government Is all a dead
loss. Still the Flushing residents fig
ure that the money was well expended,
as it gave employment to many of Its
citizens.
If any Oregon young women have
sweethearts Jn New York, the follow
ing Item may prove an excellent warn
ing: .
Justice Goff, In the Supreme Court,
has decided that it is not a crime for
a man to borrow money from his "best
girl." If he omits the formality of
repaying the cash, because he may be
a tritier and his vow to wed false,
the situation rests entirely with the
conscience of the party of the first
part and the court has no Jurisdiction.
Samuel Winter was arrested on a
charge of grand larceny. His sweet
heart swore she grave him 3100 to
open a tailor shop, the agreement be
ing that they were to be married.
Winter, however, failed to make good
t the altar and didn't even open the
tailor shop.
"In either case he did not make
such a false representation as to con
stitute a crime," ruled" the Judge.
"Therefore the claim that the com
plaint may be sustained as one of lar
ceny by trick and device cannot hold.
The vow may have been a stratagem.
but the making and breaking of it is
not criminal. The Intent of the com
plainant in parting with her money is
Immaterial, and her belief in the man
does not supply the essentials wnicn
constitute the crime charged."
Therefore, girls, keep an eye., on the
suitors who want to borrow your
money.
Murphy and His Little Mac
Politicians are laughing over- the
tribulations of Tammany Leader
Charles Murphy and his motorboat.
The craft was purchased some years
ago when all was harmony in Demo
cratic ranks, and Murphy promptly
named it the "Little Mac" In honor of
his friend the Mayor. Everything
was lovely for a time, both in New
York and at the leader's Summer home
In Good Ground. Then the Mayor
balked and. from a Tammany stand
point, has not been running Well since

A left JIIL'lllIIS Ifliri nn .....V,.
went to the bad and the machinery re
fused to bo. Since then Murphy has
expended hundreds of dollars on re-
pairs, but without result. The climax
cairo the other day when the Little
Mac almost ran the Tammany leader
and his party of friends on the rocks.
So now Little Mac is to be sold or
criven away. Murphy Is through with
it. And it Is interesting to note that
Mayor McClellan, after whom the boat
was named, will receive the same
treatment.
Setback for Holy Jufhpers.
The clerk in the License Bureau of
the. Cily Hall had a strange caller the
other day. He was a little man In a
linen suit and a straw hat with the
words "Pillar of Fire" embroidered on
the hat band in red letters. He also
had red whiskers of the kind . Jim
Ham Lewis made famous when he was
In Congress.
"Mr.-. Fire," whose name is C. W.
Bidwell, is a "Holy Jumper," and
wahted permission to hold religious
services on the Williamsburg Bridge
Plaza. Chief Clerk Reardon, how
ever, told htm he feared the "Jump
ers" would draw a crowd and block
trafffic
"But our trork is of the greatest
Importance," objected Bidwell.
"What about the jumping?" Inquired
Rcordon.
"We only Jump when the spirit
moves us," explained Bidwell, .erri'd
sometimes for hours at a time we are
very quiet."
The city authorities refused to grant
a liceisve, much to Mr. Bidwell's disap
pointment. The man says he was a
Methodist minister for many years,
but is now convinced that Holy Jump
ing is the sweet road to salvation.
Cause of Cod Edict. -
Many business men are excited over
the action of the telegraph companies.
In ordering an increase in code message
rates after September J, but the corpora
tions declare that they will not consent to
any modification of their edict. Dis
cussing the matter today. Belvldere
Brooks, superintendent of the Lastern
Division of the Western Union said:
"Hereafter all words must be five-letter
ones, unless -rthey are dictionary
words. Despite our protests, many code
users have taken two five-letter words,
that may, when Joined together, form a
pronounceable word, and used the ten
letters as one word at a one-word cost.
Other concerns often took ten letters
Indiscriminately from the alphabet,
whether making a pronounceable word
or not, and expected by running them in
together to have them go as one word.
In this way the operator consumed more
time in their transmission than the mes
sage was worth and also blocked the
wires. This increase, it should be ex
plained, does not apply to foreign mes
sages." Woes of a Sociologist.
Laurie C. Ingram is a Brooklyn school
teacher who is deeply interested in soci
ology. He spent his vacation in Europe
this year, and decided to return home
n the steerage for the purpose of study
ing the common people at close range.
Unfortunately when his ship reached
New York. Mr. Ingram found that he
was entfred on the passenger list, as
born in England. This was true, but it
was also true that -Ingram's father was
naturalized when the young man was a
baby, which also established his status.
But the elder Ingram was out of town.
and the precious naturalization papers
were mislaid. So despite his protests the
school teacher was taken over to Ellis
Island, had his eyes examined for
trachoma, and was put through the de
gree of "entering immigrant" In due and
ancient form. He finally passed, but his
friends say that he is not nearly so en
thusiastic a sociologist as he used to be.
Black Man Worries Parsons.
For the first time in the history of
New York City, a colored man is a candi
date for assembly district leader. This
pioneer is Dr. P. A. Johnson, a registered
physician who -believes he can boss the
Republicans - of the Ninth much better
than the veteran Michael H. Blake.
There has been a lot of dissatisfaction
among some of the colored voters of
the district, who say their race con
tributes nearly two-thirds of the enroll
ment. If Dr. Johnson is victorious, it
will greatly surprise political observers.
Incidentally.it is bound to distress keenly
County Leader Herbert Parsons, who has
worked hard but without success to shoo
the doctor from the field. For Parsons
realizes the complications that might en
sue and is not eager for the job of solving
them.
Sends Invitations. to Funeral.
William Grevel, of No. 95 East Tenth
street, sent the .following notice in his
own handwriting to several newspapers:
Grevel Even in death I greet you. my
friends, and Invite you to attend services at
St. Mark's German Lutheran church, Sixth
street, between First and Second avenues,
on ' evenlnj? at 8 o'clock; Inciner

please. It you "wish to betoken your re
membrance of me, do so a year hence at lot

Cordially and fraternally,
WILLIAM GREVEL.
It will be noticed that Mr. Grevel left
a blank, to be filled out later. For Mr.
Grevel is not dead. Neither is he exceed
ingly old or critically 111.
He is simply a sweet-tempered old
crank who is anxious to smooth the paths
of the mourners as much as possible, and
to make his funeral, when it does come
around, a highly successful affair.

honor at a, banquet.
Bertha arrived from Germany in 1S52.

money, leaving her weeping . in Castle
Garden. Then the good Mrs. Goodman
came along, inquired what the trouble
was, and hired-Bertha on the spot.
Of course 'Miss Steinberger has been

have even printed her photograph. But
it must be awful to.be a servant girl,

Bertha lives in Manhattan, and Yonk
ers. Just over the city line, has tried to
dim her renown by lauding the memory
of Mrs. Sarah Boghassian, who died
there a few years ago.
Mrs. Boghassian was 101 years old,
and was born in Constantinople. Her
husband died in ISfiO. and she conducted
a large tobacco plantation In TurkcJ
until 20 years ago, when, being 81, she
decided to turn over the active manage
ment to her grandson. So she removed
to Yonkers, but wandered over to Turkey
every year or so to give the young man
(he is 41) points: -
The venerable lady smoked cigarettes
all her life and died of heart failure
while preparing to-light one. She re
tained entire possession of all her fac
ulties until death, and declared her
good health was due to the fact that
she ate five mea's a day, and munched
pounds of candy every evening. She
never had her picture taken, and when
a snap-shot artist cornered her six
months ago she smashed his lens and
beat him on the head with the tripod.
Mrs. Boghassian was very fond of the
theater,, particularly musical comedies,
and was frequently seen in all-night
restaurants after the show.
In fact, this remarkable old lady re
ligiously violated every dreary rule
laid down by the doctors, had a lovely
time living, and when she Anally de
cided to die, didn't waste any time
about it.
Even though Sarah Steinberger is still
alive, Mrs. Boghassian is apparently
much more to be envied.

The "C. V. X)." is not so terrible as It
sounds. Its aim is to help students to
get employment after they leave school,
and to advise them how to fit them

E. W. Weaver, an instructor in the
Boys' High School, Is one of the lead
ers in the movement. In discussing it
ha says: '
"Maintenance of such a general voca
tional agency for a large city would
require but a fraction of the amount
that would be needed to endow a col
lege. The plan promises so much that
It should appeal to the generous
minded. I
"We' should have a school which will j
teach boys and girls to work. Today i
the demand is that many who attend
the high school should be prepared for
the frades ind industries: but the
trades and industries demand a train
ing and an education which only a
school of secondary grade can give."
Mr. 'Weaver admits that the plan is
only in an experimental stage as yet,
but believes that it possesses great pos
sibilities. Tired of lieing Ilesoued.

It was the third time this year that

the blaze had been extinguished, Mrs.
Fenton was careied back to her home,

Twenty-sixth street to Forty-seventh

a noted thoroughfare which never was

necessary many radical alterations of
the general facade, and has been the

Feed Men to Hear Speeches.
The National Committee for the Re
lief of the Unemployed, having found
that its meetings were slimly attended,
decided on a plan to secure an audi
ence which has met with great success.
Heretofore its conventions have con
sisted of long talks concerning the
unhappiness of the poor, a dismal topic
at ta Kcf nf times and one that its
victims do not care to hear discussed.
So, to quote one of the enthusiasts,
"they mostly stayed away."
Now, the association advertises that
men who attend its meotings will be
regaled on hot coffee and sandwiches.
The gatherings are scheduled to begin
at 8 P. M. Five minutes later the doors
are barred, and tardy, comers are told
to go away. The speechmaklng then
begins, and lasts until 9:30, when the
sufferers receive their promised re
ward. Many who have been in the aud
ience declare it is a tougfier experi
ence than the bread-line, but it is al
ways easy to secure listeners to ora
tory when you give away food.
Here is one of the most pitiful of the
recent tragedies of this great city:
Nicholas Fuso committed suicide In
his room at No. 54 Elizabeth street by
taking gas. He was out of work, sick,
friendless and about to be dispossessed.
His financial resources totalled 1
cent. This penny was lying on the
floor when Policeman George Willolt
of the Elizaheth-street station forced

peer at the dead man. ne saw .mc
money, grabbed it, then hurried away

SHOULD COVER THE BREAD
Bakosliopa Besinninjr to Protect
v Loaves as Soon as Baked.
Undoubtedly the time will come when
all baketihops will wrap each loaf of
bread as soon as it is removed from the
oven, says the Bakers' Weekly. This sub
ject has been agitated in Washington,
but has met with some opposition from
those who thought that the wrapping
would impair the palatability and digest
ibility of the bread.
To answer this argument tho health
department experimented with various
kinds of papers and discovered that the
effect of the protective covering was to
preserve the freshness of tho breaii.
which was even superior after 2& hours.
The labels which are now often affixed
directly on the loaves could be used to
seal the wrappings.
Some of the bakers argue that this is
not practical for the bakery that turns
out many hundreds of loaves daily, but
accounts of some of the larger bakeries

SELLS CHILD TO GYPSIES
Inhuman Frenchman Narrowly Es
capes Tjyncliiiig by Neighbors.
PARIS, Aug. 28. (Special.) A curious
story of a man having sold his 6-year-old
daughter to gypsies conies from Res
sines. Jean Plnaud. the man in ques
tion, entered into an arrangement by
which she should become the property of
gypsies. A contract was duly drawn ni
and tho sale of the child effected." The
purchasers even went the length of call
ing on the Mayor In the commune and
asking him to countersign tho document.
The Mayor sent the gypsies about their
business. Nevertheless they took the
girl with them.
.News of this shameful transaction
reached the ears of the girl's undo, who
immediately informed the gendarmes. A
hunt was organized for the gypsies. The
gendarmes overtook them and obtained
possession of the little girl, who was
placed in her uncle's care. The, inhuman
father, who had driven three other chil
dren away from home, had to he pro
tected from the Indignant villagers, who
wanted to lynch him.
LETHE AND NEPENTHE.
(Toem written by Samuel A. Clarke,
pioneer historian and publisher, and read
at the funeral of Mr. Clarke, at Salem.)
If I could live a thousand years!
If wo could still be young when we
are old,
If the many blc,ssed things untold
That cannot in our three score years
unfold.
Could come to pass, and calm the
troubled years
That make us shed so many thousand
tears.
As mists that gather on the mountain
side
When morning drives each misty doubt
away,
Do vanish and no more thereon abide
And as a thousand shadows fall at
eventide
To hide the frailties of the livelong
day.
So grace can como, and fill the world
as wide
And I my many thousand faults may
hide.
Thus rarely, as the wonder of the gloam
ing: Or, like some, draught from fountain that
is foaming
From I.ethe's fountain, that can make
forget
The many heedless things we all re
gret So I such cup would thousand times be
bearing.
The thousand littlo, bitter wrongs re
pairing That I have done, and would not do
again
That caused some other heavy heart
a pain
That I have done and would not do
again.
And so It Is: I wIfIi that, we could live
A thousand years that God may me for
give. But may bo. If I die and pass yet far
away
That he will find me and forgive me,
too, some day.
