Lales of GOIHAM and other CITIES

Sits on Burglar Until Police Arrive

ETEW YORK.—Frederick C. Gray, PI hopeful nineteen, who came to the big city from Quincy,. Mass., to make his, fortune, was thrown downstairs and sat on, and then locked up the other day on a charge of unlawful entry. In Gray’s pocket the police found the cigarette case of James E. Bourke, former blacksmith mayor of Burlington Vt, and optimistic letters to the youth’s father and others in Quincy, in which Frederick said he had married a $60,000 heiress. * Mary Smith, whose mother has a furnished room house at 935 West Fifteenth street, said she saw Gray coming downstairs carrying a suitcase. She wds aware that he did not live in the house, so she screamed for her mother. Mrs. Smith met Gray midway in his ' flight downstairs. They rolled together to the bottom, and then Mrs. Smith .sat on the young man while her daughter went for the police. - , Search by the police revealed that

Train Stops When Monkey Pulls Rope

DENVER, Colo.—But for the timely discovery of the real cause of the “spook” orders they received to stop the train, the trainmen on the Rio Grande passenger to Montrose would have deserted their charge in a panic and forced the passengers to take charge. Just after the south bound passenger left Whitewater, the first station beyond Grand Junction, the- train came to such a sudden stop as to throw the passengers out of their seats. Believing that ithey had barely escaped a rock Of landslide the passengers and trainmen tumbled out In a hurry-to seek the cause of the disaster which they had so narrowly escaped. When all was found to be in perfect shape just beyond the curve the conductor began an investigation. The engineer declared he had received orders to stop the train and had promptly applied the air brakes. Each trainman and finally each passenger was questioned in person, but no one admitted responsibility. The train started ahead and was rapidly making up lost time, when for a second time the train stopped, the engineer again declaring that ,he had received a signal to stop the train. 4galn the trainmen denied having sent a message along the bellrope and

U. S. Army Officers Start Moro Paper

ST. LOUIS.—From Zamboanga and the domain of the sultan of Sulu, in the Philippines, come tidings of the first newspaper ever published in a Moro language. Furthermore, it is unique in that it is a government owned and operated newspaper, and among Jts contributors, ami supporters are The military authorities of the' Moro province. Prominent among the latter is .Capt William Reed, United States cavalry, who is governor of Sulu and chief of staff of Gen. John J. Pershing, military governor of the Province of Moro. • As Lieut. "Billy*’ Reed this martial (newspaper man is well remembered In SU Louis, where he was a member of the military staff in charge of the> Jefferson Guards at the' world’s fair.

In Boy’s Attire, Blushes Betray Her

CHICAGO. —Two tiny tears chasing themselves over her freckled cheeks and a timid blush which crept after them, brought the career of “Jack” Wilson to an ignominious end the other day in the South Clark street police station, where she had been taken by the police as a runaway. The night before “Jack,” now selfidmitted to be Sarah Wilson, 15-year-old daughter of a wealthy St Joseph (Mo.) ranchman, tearfully told of her attempted personation of a boy; how she had her hair cut short and how she smoked a pipe, even though it made her sick. - ~ .-v_civl.a The bluecoat* at the station ruefully admitted that “Jack" put it over on them and but for the tears and blush they would never have suspecta pipe andtobacdltohirtrous- * •« . . ■ . t rwv : ' y j

Gray had, oesides several razors and pieces of Jewelry, a handsome silver cigarette case. ; - It was marked “Presented to the Mayor by the Governor’s House Guard at the Grand Tri-Centenary of Burlington, Vt” James E. Burkei » Democrat, was mayor of Burlington at the time of the Lake Champlain tri-centenary celebration. Some of , the Jewelry found was marked “Walter and Clayton Burke,” and the police believe it belongs to the former mayor’s sons. A letter, which Gray said he had written to his father to “chuck a bluff,” ran as follows: j “People In Quincy thought when I left home that I wouldn’t make good, but I have all right I am having one .line time. “I met a girl here who is worth $50,000 in her own right, and Bhe fell in love with me and we got married. We are now living with her mother. “I expect to return to Quincy soon and when I do I am coming back in a large touring car, that I have Just bought I want you to meet me in Providence when I return, and we will motor into Quincy, and show them something. They’ll be surprised to know how good I’ve made.”

made a round of Inquiry among the passengers. The trainmen were certain that they had been hoodooed, and some of them declared they would leave the train unless the mysterious spook materializations were stoppfed. Then when a few minutes later the train was stopped for a third time, trainmen and passengers were indignant. This time they declared* that they would find the culprit whoeven he might be, and prosecute him as well. They then began a systematic .search all through the train; not sparing even those in the Pullman car. A few minutes later they discovered the source of all their trouble in a very unspook-Uke masquerade. It was a monkey. His monkeyship was contentedly pulling the bellrope, which hung very close. The animal was the property of J. F. Pickering of this city, and he was advised to cage the monkey, which he did without further delay, and the train moved on.

News has been received by J. Bissell Ware of St. Louis from Captain Reed. The salutatory, after a timely preachment to the frisky Moro aneat the blessings of peace and the delights and profits of a bucolic existence, proceeds to explain the paper’s reason for existence. The editor makes apology for typographical shortcomings by explaining that the Arabic characters were purchased originally for the purpose of printing two primers for use of the schools, that those who employed the type are no longer at hand, and that the editor had learned “to handle but awkwardly the 500 characters employed.” The purpose of the publication, it is explained, is to impart useful information to the Sulu reading population, to arouse their interest in the development of their splendid agricultural country and to encourage all measures which make for their real progress. As a forecast of the good things that are to come the editor announces that "Datu Raja Munda Mandi and Sheik Mustafa Ahmad will aid in the writing of this paper.” As a further inducement to circulation it is announced that the paper will be distributed free to all who desire to receive It.

New Fiower Aŕangements

FLOWERS are used in such profusion and in so great a variety of ways, on all sorts of shapes, that they can hardly be unfashionably placed. But certain new arrangements are popular andi very effective on the shapes for which they are intended. First of all, those stiff, upstanding and compact branchings, known by the matterof-fact name of “stick-up,” hold first place as good Bellers. They are used as a finishing touch with or without other flower trimming. Often a crown is entirely covered with blossoms, clambering over it in the most natural manner, following its outlines exactly, but such a crown is invariably finished with a “stick-up,” such as those shown in the picture here, or with one made of ribbon or feathers. Roses, as always, lead all other flowers in demand. The sweet pea follows closely, the lilac and the violet have a great vogue, and large daisies promise much prominence for midsummer. But it is to be remembered that all the flowers that grow (and some that don’t) are to be found among the displays which make the millinery shops places of gay and inspiring beauty. Large picture hats for midsummer show the water lily, with single, lifelike blossoms, set at intervals about the base of the crown or on the brim. The ox-eyed daisy In white, yellow and sometimes in black, is set flat to brinis and crowns, either single blossoms or In groups of two or three. Big single daisies having each petal outlined with a ‘hair line in black make a captivat-ing-trimming on wide brimmed hats tor midsummer, for they possess much

COLORED FLOWERS OF SILK

All Designs and Colors of These Millinery Adornments Seem to Have Found Favor. On girdles and at the fastening of fichus and bodice drapery the silk flower is almost übiquitous. Large roses, wound around hard oottonpadded centers, are made very successfully now. Others have their petals cut out and bound with narrow satin ribbon. . .. i The double petal is sewed on the wrong side, turned and stitched again on the edge of the right and gathered in at Fire or six of these make a lovely flower, clustered around a center of yellow stamens, bought at the millinery counter. There are flowers that are made of round petals and some of pointed and oval petals. Pond lilies are enjoying great favor; camellias and gardenias are next; the rose is always In high popularity. On hats, a single handmade flower of large size will grace millinery. Clusters of them will be used on lace and linen caps for babies, and the little straw bonnets for tiny tots will be just as highly favored as ever. What is prettier than a lingerie bat with a colored flower of silk? ■.*

Not for the Bird Lovers.

Many of the feather fashions of this season will be bitterly opposed by the bird lovers, and there are happily many women who hare the courage of their convictions and who will Ignore the decrees of Mme. la Mode and frankly show their preference for the graceful floral aigrettes sow being made. \ flowers are suggested as a substitute for feathers that have been procured by cruelty, but it may not be out of place to point out to the gentle dames who wish to protect bird life that it is at least equally their duty to see that In the modes they are ready to adopt they are not aging the sweatshop evil. Silken roses and velvet pansies may entail as great hardships as the or the oeprey.

Untrimmed Hats.

distinction and are among the “exclusive” novelties. One who is clever with water colors and brush should be able to take the plain yrhite or yellow daisy, outline the petals with a thread-like line of black, and place these ordinary daughters of the field among the distinguished and exclusive visitors. They are very fine on lingerie hats and on all the big midsummer straws. One thing must be borne In mind Ifi using flowers or any other trimming this season. In all bats the shape’s the thing. Outlines must not be obliterated or lost sight of. Decorations must not interfere with lines, but either call attention to them, accentuate them, or modestly keep out of their way. For this reason we see small, flat bows, little wings, diminutive fancy-feathers posed as if trying to find the most Inconspicuous position for themselves. On long, Sweeping aigrettes and feathers, as well a*sew-; era, placed so as to continue and prolong the line of the curving brim edge. Either this poise, or the straight and rigid “stick-up,” which ’appears to be trying to take up as small space as possible, with leaves and blossoms completely drawn together and only broadening out afthe top when the outline of the crown has been passed, are stylish. • Millinery is gay with flowers. On those street hats without flowers bright colors are provided, in facings and brim coverings of silk, or in bands and ornaments of lace over bright foundations. Primrose and vivid greens, cerise and gold are the favored colors. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

New Bags and Purses.

A very popular shape is an unusually fiat envelope with two long leather straps. The bag- is not large and is almost square. It is of long grain morocco In the brightest red. A flat envelope strap bag has a metal rim. For more sober taste there are charming brown suede or seal bags and envelopes.

A Wearisome Watch.

A very small boy was once observed sitting in a tramcar rocking himself to and fro. A sympathetic old gentleman inquired if he were ill, and receiving a negative reply, said: "Then why are you moving backwards and forwards like that?" The small boy made no pause in his regular oscillations as he said: "Well, you see, mister, I’ve Just bought a watch from Tucker for one-and-six-pence, and if I stop moving like this here the watch won’t go any more.” -Tit-Bits.
