ALLE N lEiLAS flEHPIDILESOF GABLE CASGELLEO BEW AND FASTER ROUTES TO BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN NEW YORK AND IRELAND. ST. JOHN'S, New Foundland, March, J. "Sir Robert Bond. Pre mier of New Foundland, announced that his government has agreed upon a contract with the Commercial Cable Company by which the latter will ex tend one of their cables into New Foundland and thence direct to New York City." Mr. Clarence H. Mackey, President ef the Commercial Cable Company and of the Mackay Company upon be ing shown the above telegram said The report is correct We have agreed to cut one of our five trans Atlantic cables at a point in the At lantic known as the Flemish Cap, which is about three hundred miles east of New Foundland, and there at tach to the European side of the ca ble an entirely new cable which will extend from the Flemish Cap into St Johns N. F, and thence direct from St Johns to New York City. That is the ideal route for a cable be tween Etyope and America, because it divides into two, sections more equally that any other route, the en tire distance from Ireland to New York City. This will enable us to operate the cable direct between New York City assd Ireland with much greater accuracy and speed, the speed alone being increased over 25 per cent We shall then have the only able in the Atlantic running from Europe to New Foundland and thence direct to New York. We probably would have laid our cables by that route in the beginning if the Anglo American cable company had not had exclusive landing rights in New Foundland- These rights which ex isted for 50 years have expired, and to we are now making this change It means the purchase and laying of seventeen hundred miles of new ca ble. After it is finished we shall then have lying unused in the bottom of the sea about nine hundred miles of cable running from the Flemish Cap direct to Canso, Canada, that portion of the cable now in use and which will be put out of use by this new plan. Our cable ship will pick up as muc& as it can of this nine hundred miles of cable and it will then be re sheathed and will, be available for use elsewhere. For two years we have been studying this question and AMUSEMENTS. ASTORIA THEATRELZZI Sunday, Marchl7 SLESMURRY PRESENTS PAUL ILM01 IN TIIEBOYS OF QJHBffiYL ORIGINAL N. Y. PRODUCTION.

Ii of it ! cha II 1 this l- ...unt atnni?vnt raHKinlt bo Ilr Cut; carefully considering the change from every point of view. It involves a large expenditure of money but we shall expend it. The Commercial Ca- hie Company is thf premier company iin the Atlantic Ocean, and we pro jpose to keep it so. We shall spare ;no expense to give the fastest and best service that submarine cables are capable of, with all the advanta ges of the most direct routes. Never before in the history of cables has nine hundred miles of a regularly working cable been picked up from the bottom of the sea and the route changed, simply for the take of ac celerating the speed and increasing the continuity and reliability of the service but that is what we propose to do and I wish to remark that I do not believe any government would ever make any such change at such an enormous expense simply for the purpose of giving the public an im proved service." PICKPOCKETS IN CHICAGO. CHICAGO." March 4.-"Fickpock- ets are virtually immune from the law. They can prey on society at their pleasure and in few cases can they be punished." This is the assertion of Judge Frank Crowe of the municipal court. who for several years as assistant state's attorney and later as police court judge, probably came in con tact with more "crooks" than any other judge in Chicago. In amplification of the statement by Captain O'Brien, head of the de tective bureau to the effect that not five per cent of the pickpockets ar rested in Chicago are ever convicted, Judge Crowe declares it is not the fault of the police or of the courts, but of circumstances over which neither has control. "Pickpockets are the shrewdest class of criminals," he says. "They seldom, if ever, pick the pockets of a man who resides in this town. They know that in doing this they are perfectly safe from prosecu tion. "The crook's lawyers continue the case from time to time. Alter a while it goes over to the criminal court. Here again it is continued. The complaining witnesses, nine times out of ten, lives out of town. The long delays digust him with legal procedure and he decides to drop the case. "Only a vigilance committee can drive the pickpocket out of the city and that would be unlawfull." TWO MORE VICTIMS. NEW YORK, .March 4--Two per sons instead of one, as was believed at first, perished in a fire early today which swept through three four sto ry tenements at Nos. 311, 313 and 315 Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn. Neither of the victims had been identified this morning. One was a woman about 25 years old and the other a boy of 12.The fire appears to have been of incendiary origin. The location of the apartment is a reputable residence neighborhood.

NEW YORK, March S.-The Anti Noise crusade is spreading accord ing to the Society for the suppres sion of unnecessary noises. At a meet ing of the society last night Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the president, said: "Our splendid crusade against ncire has spread over this entire country and over many parts of Eu rope also. The movement is no long er confined to a few persons or to a few communities, but now it is an immense levMt of the many. against the brutal indifference or unthinking carelessness of the few." A DELAYED LETTER. And What Happened When the Misery Was Finally Recovered. The vaimrles of tbe postal service are aonietluies beyond the understand ing of the layman. In March of last year a man In Xew Turk received a letter from a friend lu England, writ ten when on the point of sailing for Philadelphia, urgently requesting him to return a loan of $10. Tbe man who wrote the letter needed funds and would tbe debtor kindly send the money to him. care of the steamship Una at Philadelphia? The man In New York taw that his friend would reach Philadelphia within a day or two, to be promptly clapped a ten dollar bill in an envelope and addressed and mailed It A week later be was apprised by mall that the money had not arrived. Both men made a diligent search for the missing letter. Bat It could not be found. So the debtor gave his friend a check and forgot about bis $10, set ting down its loss to the dishonesty of some Intermediary who bad handled tbe envelope. Imagine his surprise when one day eight months later he received bis let ter from the dead letter office In Wash ington. . It was covered with post marks and much battered, for It bad traveled many thousands of miles, back to England, around tbe United Kingdom and to America again, bnt the money was safe Inside. Chackllng, he met his friend a few minutes later and showed him tbe ten dollar hill. "How's that for Inck?" he queried. "Great," replied his friend.

Crowing Over Eastern Competitors in Spokane Rate Case. CHICAGO, March 5-The Trib une today prints the following news article: "Chicago shippers are congratulat ing themselves on having won an important victory over their compe titors in New York and "the East, through the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the Spo kane rate case. "Complete copies of the decision which were isued in Washington Tuesday have been received and af ter comparison of the old with the new rates established by the commis sion on the Chicago commercial in terests discovered they had obtained an advantage over New York by a reduction of 16 2-3 per cent, while the Eastern rates were not changed. Formerly the rates on most commod ities virtually were the same from the seaboard as from Chicago. "The reduction on first class rates is from $360 to $3 on second class from $3.10 to $259, and on other classes in proportion, down to from W cents to 82 cents on class "E." Similar reductions are made on the 34 commodities named in the com plaint, but the far-reaching effect of the decision it teen in the statement that if the roads do not readjust the rates on other commodities and to intermediate points, another com plaint may be filed. DISEASED MEAT SQUABBLE. CHICAGO. March S.-Officials of several large packing concerns de clare that it is extremely unlikely that that any of the consignments of diseased meats complained of by Dr. Williams, the medical officer of the port of London were shipped from Chicago. "I am not acquainted with the facts in the case, but I consider it very (doubtful, indeed, if any of the meat in question came Irom Chicago," de clared Loui F. Swift. "I cannot see how it would be possible for meat such as is described to be slip ped anywhere, in view of the rigid federal inspection now in force. In Chicago, especially, these govern ment representatives are very strict." EAT FRESH BREAD OR FATTY MEATS WITHOUT HAVING INDIGESTION. HAVE THIS.
