Word came to Chief of Police Voll-
mer. yesterday afternoon, from a wom
an who lives near the First Methodist
Epiwopd church. that a man who was
seated‘ml the curb—stone near her home
appeared to’be sick or crazy. The chief
started 'up North Main street, but met
the man coming down, followed by six
or eisht curious boys

.4 In response to the chief's inquiries the
man said he lived in North Seventh
street ,"Brooklyn, and that his name was
John .Iiurke. He said he had some
money, but when he was searched none
could be found. 'When.the chief asked
hlmifhedesiredtogo toBrooklyn, the
man answered very eagerly. “Yes," the
prospect of getting home seeming to
please him greatly. The chief accom-
paniedhim to the depot, where he. pur-
chased a ticket for-Burke, and gave him

toncontstopayhisfareacross the city.

to Brooklyn.

While waiting for the 5:25 train Burke
began talking about seeing a priest.
Heflnally satdown on the step of the
Adams Express company’s office, slid
appeared very contented. Two or three
minutes before the train came in the
man jumped up, leaving his ticket and
thetenoents lying on the stone step,
and began talking excitedly to the chief
aboutaletter he had received from a
brother in Boston. The train was com-

them was a man there trying
to beat his brain's out against a
stone, and that he» afterward picked up
the stone and began’jabbing himself on

dent of the vicinity, with City Marshal
JohriP'aul, held theman until help ar-

stable and tried to get the ambulance to
take the man to the hospital. The at
tendant at the stable refused to let the
ambulancego without an order from a
physician. The chief found Dr. Clark,
who started for the depot to look at the
man, but meanwhile Officer Pennington
had heard of Burke’s condition and noti-
tledDr. Kennedy, who ordered out the
ambulance and had the man taken to
the hospital. His injuries are q a pain-
ful, but not necessarily serious nature.

Wallace 1!. Pelham. who hired ahorse
and‘buggy from Sarsfleld's livery stable.
Thursday. saying he was going to drive
to Misnus and expected to be gone three
hours, and who was arrested Saturday
night, with the property still in his pos-
session, was ' unsigned before Judge
Downs, Tuesday afternoon. The reason
he was not brought into court before was
that Prosecutor Carter thought he could
obtain evidence to justify a charge of
horse-stealing. Falling in that, he drew
up a complaint under a law which pro-
vides a penalty of not more than .7 and
costs and thirty days in jail for mini-op
resentation to a livery—stable keeper as
to the distance a horse is tobe driven.

Pelham had nothing to say by way of
excuse. He declared that he did not
intend to steal the horse, but proposed
to return it Sunday. He supposed all
the time he was gone that Mr. Earsflcld
would consider him a thief. but that did
not seem to worry him. although he had
somethinglessthan ”inhis pocket to
payhorse hire. After leaving Stamford.
Pelhal‘n said, he drove to Binhcy' s,at
Sound Beach, where he got his tools;
then- to his house, which his 'wifo de
sorted the same day. After landing
dishes and clothing ‘in the buggy. he
drovato High Ridge and put up at the
house of W. L. Jones, his grandfather.
He left there next day and drove to
Ridgefield. He spent a couple of hours
there, looking for work, so he said, and
then returned to High Ridge. He ud-
mittcd that he had been arrested before,
for theft. but had forgotten when.

The father of the accused, a respecta-
ble gentleman of South Norwalk, tried
to get the court to take a more charitable
view ‘of the conduct of his scrapgrace
son than the circumstances warranted.
About three years ago his “boy'! was
charged with robbing [his employer,n

court that the reason his son kept the
horse was that he was gains from place

cused, however. had said nothing about

A PROFESSIONAL MENDICANT.

a Day.

”I have just. walked from the Riggs
House to this hotel,”‘said Thomas Crof-
ton of New York at the National,‘ ”and
have only been approached by one
tramp—a poor, wretched. shivering
devil. whose poverty needed no argu—
ment. I had just finished a hearty din-
ner. an excellent cigar, and my humor
was good enough to make me feel for
the whole world of suffering. so I stak—

“Tonight you cannot pass a yard on

a beggar. Do you know that the great
est professional mendicant in the metrop-
olis was created through accident? He
formerly had a position as bookkeeper in
some mercantile establishment, paying
$75 a month. One night he found him-
self way down town, for from his home
in Harlem, withoutacent of car fare. In
changing his clothes he had neglected
to bring his purse along. Without any
hesitation he approached a gentleman
and explained his situation. The book—

none of the carmarks‘ of a practiced
beggar, which, indeed, he was not. He
got the our fare without malty. That
one incident set him thinking and de-
veloped the latent streak of indolence
he possessed. Every Sunday when he
was not engaged balancing accounts the
bookkeeper tried the Mlleme to test its
ability as a money maker.

“The result was astrmishingiy suc-
cessful. Here was a man. well dressed,
apparently respectable, placed in a po-
sition that in many cases had been the
situation of the very men he asked for
the loan of a nickel. A great majority
of them obliged him. The sequel is
short. He threw up his posilion and be-

Her Ideal Shattered.

Miss Clara Ilouise Kellogg tells the
following stmyof her introduction to
one of the British aristocracy. She was
very young at the time of her first trip
abroad. A gentleman who felt an inter.
est in the talented young American took
her to call on the dowugor Duchess of
Somerset. Miss Kellogg says that she
had never before seen a duchess. and
that she fully expected the lady to come
into the room attired in velvet and or-
mine and wearing a coronet on her
head. She was quite bereft of speech
when a very ordinary looking person.
wearing ”a black bornbazino gown and
prunella shoes, appeared on the scene.
The gentleman who hllfl brought Miss
Kellogg told the ducbcss that «he would
be glad to sing for her, to which her
grace responded:

"But I have no piano. "

This was the finishing touch to the
young singer‘s childish Ideals regarding
perms» of high degree. A lltlclll‘llll who
wore prunella shoes and did not own a
piano!

Later a musicals was given by horn
grace at which Miss Kellogg song-to
the acmmpanimentof a hirmi piano——
choosing for one of her songs an ar-
rangement of Tonnymn’s "Tears. Idle
Tours." The verses were quite new to
I the duchess, who had “Ileard of Tony
son, but had never read anything that
he had written.” The next day the
tieman who had introduced Miss Kol:
IUIIII. and who. by the way, was on
Amman. bought a copy of the poems
and sent it to her grace.
