'BRIGHTWOOD = PARK \whe Coxey Army Arrived and Wert Tuto Camp Yesterday. HE MARCH FROM ROCKVILLE Mad to Pay Toll at the Sligo Gate. SCENES AND INCIDENTS bid joan Browne doffed his big white sombrero &@ crowd of cheering people and rode into Inclosure of the Brightwood Park Rac- ing Association. Behind him were Mr. Noxey and about 400 followers of the com- ‘monweal of Christ, who had marched the (Eweive miles between Brightwood and Rock- Wille since half-past 8 in the morning. The Jest camp of the commonweal before enter- {ing the sacred precincts of the District was ® wet and damp one. It was also one cov- ‘ered with the red fire of strife and War. \Baturday afternoon “Unknown” Smith and ‘thirteen of his followers made what at first \Promise looked to be a violent assault on the outer works of Camp Legal Tender. Smith and his followers broke through an opening in the fence surrounding the fair grounds, and poured down the hill side. he commonweal camp was in a commotion @t once, and the combined armies of Mas- Sillon and the Schuylkill sprang to the breach like one man. Foremost in the de- fending party were “Oklahoma” Sam, the western cowboy, and Marshal Broderick. Whese two siurdy champions were armed with large-sized base ball bats. The Unkn: Humbled. ' “Are we to be admitted as brothers in the fommonweal?” said “Unknown” Smith. “Not much, you ain't,” laconically re- Marked “Oklahoma” Sam. Then the attacking forces, much after the fashion of the famous French king, marched back through the breach and up the street. Where Smith interviewed the officers of the Fair Association and the officers inter- Wiewed Browne. The great marshal said that if Smith and his crowd €ame on the — the commonweal would march off. ie compared it to a tarantula getting in a ox with a house cat. Then Smith le a Move on the camp all alone and unaided. He drove in with a buggy, and, getting out, started up toward the headquarters. Browne, ®s soon as he saw him coming, ve much interested in fixing his shoe. Smith Started to step over the rope around the tent, and Broderick, whovts of the community, besides being almost as big as a fhouse, pushed him back and stood in his path. Smith delivered a little speech, to the effect that his men should be admitted to ‘the grounds, but the speech, delivered, as it ‘was, at long range, had not the slightest effect on Browne, who merely ordered com- mune A to turn out and clear the camp of all intruders. Then it was that the proud spirit of “Unknown” the Herb Doctor-Bo- rro Smith finally broke, and he walked ck to his buggy, stepped in and departed, ®midst the jeers and cat calls of the entire Bommonweal. In the evening both Coxey and Browne Bddressed quite a large crowd in front of the | Court House, whiie the men spent their ‘time trying to fix themselves comfortably down in the camp. The sudden burst of Fain later in the evening made the camp & very disagreeable stopping place, even to men who are by this time pretty well ac- Sustomed to bad weather. The March to Washington. The march toward Washington was re- pomed yesterday morning at 8:30, although fome twenty men as an advance guard hhad started forward still earlier, in order Zo hold the Brightwood Park against any possible encroachments from Mr. Smith. (he commonweal found that the road foward Washington was not a bad subject for the workings of a good-roads bill. The mud was thick, and was besides exceeding- Jy sticky, and the army p-esented a rather curious appearance, stretched out in single file on the sides of the highway, while the ‘wagons occupied the middle. At Mitchell's (Cross Roads, where the pike was struck, wome two hundred wheelmen from the different cyclirg clubs of the city were drawn up in line. Mr. Coxey at the time was driving a little ahead of the main body. He was cheered vigorously by the ‘wheelmen, who announced with one voice @hat good roads are exactly what they ‘were after. Mr. Coxey stopped and made a ttle speech, in which he said a number of pleasant things about bicycling, and what @n enjoyable exercise it would be after his Dill was passed. When Carl Browne rode up the cheering was resumed, and he also stopped long enough to tell the audience that, although he and the other common- wealers had been accused of having wheels im their heads, he fel: confident that if the ‘wheels were as good as those he saw along the roadway there would be no trouble in passing the Coxey bills. Stopped at the Toll Ga From Mitchell's Cross Roads clear into fhe city the commonweal was constantly passing through crowds and groups of people, lined up on the road in cazriages, on horseback, and those who had come out Bfoot. The band got down out of the band ‘wagon and showed the people just what music a commonveal organization could @rag out of a big bass drum, three horns and a snare drum. At the toll gate near Sligo the army was halted. The army had} no desire to halt, but when the toll gate} keeper dropped the big gat® so that it razed the nose of the stallion ridden by | ‘a-l Browne a halt was the only thing | possible under the circumstances. Then Browne made his Hittle speech. It was st toll gate the army could not march through, and Browne proceeded to carry out the full program. “De ou mean to stop this army of peace, marching along to right the wrongs done ing people?” said Marshal Browne. said the toll gate keeper. Will you stop the American flag?” asked wne. Br 1 stop those horses un- fless the toll is paid." Then Mr. Coxey paid he toll, with the remark that as soon as his Pitts were passe? one of thelt first workings would be to sweep all toll-gate keepers and ther robbers who held up people on the ighway out of existence. Just before the District line was reached m good-sized buzzard sailed gracefully over the army and looked on {t with a wistful aid Mr. Coxey, as he pointed to rd, “is one of the members of the States Senate, come out to look us pver. Smith Again Turns Up. At the line between Maryland and the Dis- frict there was a large crowd of people, who those who did not care could enter free, ing the park only before the eyes however, quite a detail of officers turned and one of them stood to saloon at the entrance any evasion of the Sunday law. é } is 4 il 3 é id rivile and were privileged they pleased. The weal, however, had honorary members of this clul Quently remained sober. At 3 o'clock Mr. Coxey and Carl Browne lectured the subject of tion. The Collection of Banners. Just after getting over the District line if of to arm; i | and distributed to the men. ably not in existence such a queer collection banner of peace is most prominent, because it is always carried at the front of the pro- cession. It bears on it a portrait supposed to be that of Christ, but which bears a blance to Marshal striking resem! Browne himself. Around the portrait ‘are the words “Peace on earth, good will to men, but death to interest. bonds.”” On the back are a few other sen’ nts of character, Another banner has a picture of an eagle, with the words, jual rights to all, special privileges to none.” On the rear of this a uhge . with a face supposed to resemble one of the Rothschilds, has reached out its arms until it has grasped about évery country existing on the map. Still another contains the words, “Christ's reincarnated the whole, explain: struction there is a rather well painted girl's head. She is holding a sheaf of grain and is meant to represent the commonweal. The rear has a rough drawing of Carl Browne himself, with the statement that this is the cerebelum of the commonweal of Christ. One banner has a picture of the suffering working people and the Inscrip- tion, “Banks of issue must a. to the and the circulating medium general government. Banks of issue are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.” A picture of Mr. Coxey on one banner is inscribed with the motto of the commonweal. Columbus Jones. On the march trom Rockville the Phila- delphia contingent were headed by a new figure. A little short man, with a beard, a pinched nose, a furry beaver hat and a Tusty broadcloth coat, walked at the head of the contingent. He was no less than Columbus Jones. Columbus Jones, who was to have led 20,000 men from Philadel- phia and who turned up at Rockville with 48 men. Columbus Jones talked to your correspondent on the march. He said the movement was a great success and would result in the passage of the bills, Mr. Jones is more severe on the capitalistic class than any of the other leaders. “After this movement is over,” he “I shall Say my little say, and tell all I know with- out fear. My disclosures of the deviltry and crime going on will probably get me in trouble, but I have only one life to lose.” I asked Jones what the army would do it Congress paid no attention to them. “Well, that matter,” he said, “will work itself out on the lines of life and reason.” Then Mr. Jones beame personal and said he was mighty. tired of walking. Later on the great Philadelphian was witnessed astride of Onvaleer, one of the stallions, looking happy and contented. Jones js a ood deal closer to the genus crank than any other of the leaders. Last night at the camp the men practiced the singing of hymns and other songs. Crowds Went Out Yesterday. If a circus had advertised to give @ free Performance at the Brightwood driving track yesterday it would hardly have at- tracted a larger crowd than filed out of this city from early in the morning until late in the evening to see the greatest aggregaticn of weary walkers on earth. The various roads leading out from the city to Bright- wood were crowded as they have never been for a quarter of a century with people on foot, of traveling in every conceivable sort of vehicle. From the boundary of the city out, on both the 14th and 7th street roads, there was a double line of convey- ances, gcing and coming, so close that the horses of one fairly touched the wagon cr carriage ahead. It was for all the world like @ mammoth exodus to a county fair. Among them darted men and women on bicycles, and on either side of the roads were steady streams of pedestrians. The delightful weather undoubtedly had its ef- fect in bringing out the large crowd, and it would be hard to say for how many thous- ands of people Brightwood was the Mecca yesterday. Around the electric cars that led from the city to Brightwood swelled the largest crowds. At the head of 7th street at one time yesterday there were more than a thousand people standing around waiting for a chance to crowd in for a ride to the Coxey camp, and every time a car started there were twenty times as many people struggling to get on as the car could possi- bly accommodate. Inside the Park. Inside the park the spectacle presented ‘was unique and one that will not soon be forgotten by those who saw it. There was & constant stream of people, riding or on foot, entering the grounds, and at the gate were stationed two privates of the army, one announcing, in a loud voice, that con- tributions were expected and would be thankfully received, and the other sitting at @ little table taking in the money that fell in a steady shower. Contributions ranged from a few cents up to a dollar, but the av- erage person probably dropped a dime or a quarter on the table and passed in to see the army of peace. The amount received was not made known, but it must have footed up to a most encouraging total, that convinced the leaders of their wisdom in coming to Washington ahead of their scned- uled time in order to reap the benefit of the Sunday crowd. The crowd of spectators inside the gate from early until late was so large as to completely swallow up the army, so that it was almost impossible to get near the com- monwealers. A man who would look for all the world like just a plain, ordinary, every-day tramp would be surrounded by a curious crowd of men and women, as if had been the veriest freak or curio. He would be ed where he had come from, what his business was, whether his feet were sore, how he liked tramping, what he expected to accomplish in Washington, what sort of a man Gen. Coxey was, whether it was pleasanter to walk or to tide on @ canal boat, how long thought they would stay in Washington, and a thousand and one other such questions. The alarm that many people had expressed over the coming of the army of peace was quickly dissipated when they saw the character of the men that composed it, and no one seemed to stand in the least awe of the wanderers. a there was very little for the cro to see, and they had to make the best of what there was. Inside the park the detachment of the army that came on earlier had set up canvas fence some twelve or fifteen feet had come out on the electric cars. The wheelmen also lined up here again. Carl Browne called for a cheer, and it was given by the several communes ag they passed ever into the District. Just below twenty- @hree men were drawn up in a line in a field near by the road. In front of them stood a martial figure, dressed in a light suit of spting clothes and a yachting cap. It was “Unknown” Smith and his con- tingent. Browne drew himself up as his martial eye caught a glimpse of his old foe. “Now, then,” yelled Smith, “give three cheers for Brother Browne, Brother Coxey and the commonweal of Christ.” Then the twenty-three men took off their battered hats and cheered. There was no relenting, however, in the stern determina- tion of Coxey’s marshal. “Don’t say a word,” he said to his men, and the commonweal marched on down the road without a glance in the direction of Smith, who, with his twenty-three followers, wes left standing forlorn and discon: late, surrounded only by the crowd of curi- ous spectators. From here on the cheers from the commonweal and from the people along the road and in the passsing electric cars were almost continuous. Coxey’s hats were heads than on. The Entrance to the Race Track. ‘The final cheer came from the common- weal lung® at 1:15, when they entered the face track grounds, where their canvas fnclosure had already been erected. Inside this inclosure the commonweal of Christ disappeared, while several thousand peopie stood around and looked at the canvas walls. Later on the embargo was raised Browne and more often off their a high, inclosing about an acre or two of ground, “The Camp Proper. Inside of this was the camp proper, and here the wagons were drawn up, tents erected and campfires built. It was a motley collection of equipages that filled this inclosure, and from the way the horses were standing around and the character of men in the crowd it was easy to see it would not be very long before that in- closure became thoroughly untidy. A few men busied themselves performing the usual duties around camp, but the majority of them were lying idly around on the ground, in the shadow of the canvas, smok- ing pipes or cigarettes. Almost every man had hung over his shoulder a tin cup and battered tin Pe and there wasn’t a man in the crowd but what looked as though he had walked a long way. In the after- noon, when the crowd was at its thickest, Carl Browne and Gen. Coxey made speeches from an improvised lecture stand to several thousand people clustered around. Up in a rickety old jud: stand were perched a crowd of men, who led the cheering, and whenever the speakers scored a point they would ring the starter’s bell, and some che in the crowd was sure to shout: “Now they're off.” In his speech Browne acknowledged that he was a crank, because it took a crank to move anythin as he said. The present condition of the country he declared to be the fulfillm of the revelation of St. John. The sev heads of the beast were the seven con- spiracies against the money of the peopie, the ten horns were the ten monapoll foremost among them the sugar tru Grover Cleveland had called an extra sion of Congress, and, by the aid of “that and the visitors given a chance to look at the notables.

Stuart Mill and and ended by inveighing the Ro‘ Gen. Coxey’s Speech. Gen. Coxey began his speech with a de- scription of the millions of starving w:- employed, and he said that they would stay ajl summer unless Congress measure that would redress the people. Speaking of his bills Coxey said: they will be passed in two ‘ou only have to pick up the pa- what desperate straits these men to to yo to Washington. Look that have been seized. I don’t —— in lawlessness; no, far from it, It no Gifference if don’t get here go to the Capitol steps and make our demands, and come back here to camp and wait. “This revolutionary spirit of '76 is making ai to itself. Twenty millions of people are hungry, and can’t wait two years on some- thing to eat. “Four millions idle men for nine months. That's what Grover Cleveland has cost this country. Sherman and Tom Reed have helped him; so the republicans have not got the horse on the democrats. If Congress are iy ioone the loyrn need — does not ve it, Congress ishonest. We propose to give them the benefit of the doubt and show them the way out of the hole.” So he talked for about half an hour,explain- ing his bill for good roads, for plenty of Money, and its companion piece for uni- versal luxury through non-interest bearing bonds. Every thrust at the plutocrats was accentuated by the clang of the bell, and the crowd which listened was a constantly changing but attentive one. Marshal Browne's Orders. Last night Marshal Browne brought his forces at Brightwood Park to attention, and read to them the following orders: General Order No. 1. In the Field, Camp Thaddes Stevens, Washington, D. C.

DOCTRINE or REINCARNATION, Views Held by Gen. Coxey and Mar- shal Brown, Marshal Browne of the Coxey arm: f CO y is almost as full of the question of reincarna- tion as he is of the legal tender money question. He brings the doctrine into his conversation at all times. In Mr. Coxey’s mind the issue of non-interest bearing bonds rather overshadows the question of Whose soul he ts carrying around. He sel- dom mentions the subject, and The Star's representative,who has been traveling with the Coxey men, was, therefore, a Iittle sur- Prised to note the carnestness with which he advocated the doctrine when he asked him if he really believed in reincarnation. Coxey on Reincarnation. “I do most sincerely,” said Mr. Cox “Of late years I have not been a strict tendant at churches, although having a high respect for religion. I felt within a craving and longing on the subject of re- ligion which the churches seemed entirely unable to satisfy. There were many unde- fied beliefs in my mind which I was un- able to concentrate into any concrete form, and when Carl Browne explained to me his theories of reincarnation, I knew in a flash that it was what I had been reaching for. I felt at once that in me was a reincarna- tion of souls that had lived before, and that I possessed characteristics of those souls. My theory on the subject, it seems to me, is simple enough. I believe that souls, like every other portion of the body, are im- mortal. The physical elements of the body change their form through decay, but are not lost, and are used again and still again in other kinds of life. The same principle applies, I believe, to what we term souls. Men of today have in them the portions of the souls of thousands of men who have gone before. Take as a crude illustration @ large mass of molten metals of different kinds. They form one metallic mass, but there are different kinds of metal there. Let that be the world’s soul mass. Into it pass the souls of all who die. Out of it come the souls of those who are born, “Some souls may be too high or too low to combine easily in that mass, and they may pass out nearly intact. A ‘preponder- ance of good may be in one soul, a prepon- derance of bad in another, while still a third may be almost evenly balanced, and that is the case with the average man. Some draw one element and some another, but with the growth which I believe souls to be capable of the quality of that soul's mass changes. The pouring back of a mil- lion souls which have become a little be' ter than when they went out raises the en- tire mass, and when a certain height has been reached the longed-for millennium will have come and we will see the veritable héaven on earth. Something About Himself. “I have stated that I believe myself to possess a portion of the soul of Christ. I believe that millions of people today pos- sess a portion of that soul. In regard to my own claim, I look on Christ as the greatest reformer who ever lived, and when I say I possess a portion of his soul I mean that I have in me characteristics of a sim- ilar kind. I have also stated that I was a reinearnation of Andrew Jackson, and I mean by that to say that the elements of firmness and determination which marked the soul of Andrew Jackson are also pres- ent In my soul. In my soul there may or may not be present portions of the actual souls that were with Christ and Andrew Jackson, but I mean to say that portions of the same kinds of soul are within me.” Carl Browne, who, as has been said, is re- sponsible for the commonweal doctrines or religion goes deeper into the subject. He with every app2arance of thorough sincerity. Browne and His Belief. “I had never thought much or read much,” said Coxey’s tharshal, “‘on the subject of re- incarnation, although my ideas of God and religion had always a tendency in that di- rection. For a year before my wife died I was in constant attendance at her bedside. I was up night and day, and felt and knew that I had attributes of patience and kind- ness above the average. Just before death came to my wife, as 1 was sitting by her side, I realized with the quickness of a flash reinca: nated a portion of the soul of Jesus Christ. I knew at the same time that I was absorb- ing into my soul the soul of my dying wife. I amas certain as I am that I am sitting here that all that was immortal in one form in my beloved wife is present here with me today. I feel her influence and her es hand, and all there is about it, I now that her soul is here within me. Since the time the flash of light showed me the truth of reincarnation I have thought a Great deal on the subject. “The laws of nature apply as well to the soul as to other portions of the body. A man dies and his body goes into the chem- ical elements, which may be drawn together again and form another man. In the same way the soul pas: from a dead tenement back to the soul reservoir, and is there com- bined with millions of other souls, and in course of time the portions pass out again into other living souls. Occasionally a soul may pass from out the reservoir intact as it entered it. Such an occurrence, how- ever, would be extremely rare. I believe that the old philosophers and teachers knew this principle of soul passage. They knew also that in rare cases a soul mighi be re- inearnated intact. For their own purposes, and to obtain greater dominion over men, they hid away the true principle, and taught and preached the exceptions, and thus grew up theosophy and intact soul re- incarnation. It of course, repugnant to people to believe that their souls will be Scattered, and that future life and immor- entire soul mass and its gradual betterment. Specific Gravity of Souls. “TI look on souls as possessing, let us say, specific gravity. When the specific gravity of the entire mass had attained to a certain figure, intelligence was born and man came into existence. A portion of the soul mass goes out on its pilgrimage with the body of @ man, and it may return in the same con- dition that it went out, or it may grow and come back with a higher specific gravity, raising the average of the entire soul mass. After a soul leaves a body it may take it many years to finally reach the reservoir, because it may be absorbed by another soul in some living body, and. this combined soul may, in turn, be absorbed after it leaves that body by a third soul. In that way I absorbed the soul of my wife as the breath left her body. “T feel certain that I have portions of the souls of many persons within me. People have said that I must have been a hard student and reader, but this is not so, and much of the knowledge I have comes from intimation and is the result of the former knowledge of the soul within me. “Now, still further, as to the soul of Christ. The man known as Christ, I be- leve, drew from the soul reservoir the nearest perfect soul that had ever gone out. When Christ died His soul was scat- tered through that reservoir, and since that time many men have possessed por- tions of His soul. Savanarola was one, John Stuart Mill another and Peter Cooper and John Brown others, Mr. Coxey and myself both possess, I believe, a portion of that soul and contact makes the workings stronger. Many thousands of other men also have portions, and as this movement continues those portions will be attracted together and around Mr. Coxey and myself until finally the entire soul of Christ will be drawn together, not in any one man, but in the commonweal.” —— +--+ e+ NEWS OF THE MARCHERS. The Men Who Are on Their Way to Join the Coxeyites. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has writ- ten to Morrison I. Swift, leader of the New England “industrials,” now marching to- ward Washington, expressing his disap- proval of the project and saying: “The persons who belong to your com- Pany or to the company of Mr. Coxey, so far as they are decent and well intentioned American citizens, are entitled to all the priviliges of American citizenship. But I cannot recognize their title to speak for the American people. Five or ten thousand men have no right to dictate to the other 65,000,000 or to dictate to the government which the other 65,000,000 have established. I hold-a commission from the common- wealth of Massachusetts, as do my col- leagues in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and we have the sole title to press the will of the people of Massa- chusetts in national legislation until, the exercise of their constitional rights, they select others to supply our places. We can recognize no master except t commonwealth itself. Certainly no body of men less than a majority of the entire people can call upon us to act otherwise than in accordance with our own judg- ments.” Swift's Men at New London. Swift's commonwealers or industrial dele- gation, as he calls it, spent a quiet Sunday at New London, Conn., yesterday in com- fortable quarters and were supplied with food, including a hot dinner, which was prepared for them in the Knights of Labor Hall. At @ public meeting Saturday night in the Opera House $18 was collected, which Commander Swift said was a larger amount than was received {all the towns in Rhode Island through which they passed. Yesterday afternoon another public meet- ing was held, at which Fitzgerald delivered an address and a collection amounting to $6 was taken up. Several hundred people assembled on the Boston Common yesterday afternoon in expectation of hearing from Swift of the unemployed army the condition of t delegation now on its road to Washington, but were disappointed. Every speaker was very bitter in de- nouncing the treatment the army received from the citizens of Rhode Island, and the newspapers of New England were de- nounced for the “skits and slurs” they had thrown upon the delegatior On the Pacific Slope. The San Francisco and Oakland indus- trial army tramped Saturday from beyond Cortland to Richland, 15 miles south of Sacramento. The road was along the river bank and lined with orchards in which oranges are now ripening. The army went into camp in Jammon’'s large warehouse. The men number nearly 1,200, and so far have conducted themselves quietly and peaceably. Galvin’s Men at Columbus. Col. Galvin and his 200 men arrived at Columbus, Ohio, Saturday at midnight from Mt. Sterling on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the citizens of the place having raised the money to pay for the transportation of the crowd. The militia came on the same train. The Galvinites are quartered in the Assembly Hall. The Chicago Contingent. Unless something unforeseen occurs, the Chicago contingent of the commonweal army will leave for Washington tomorrow morning. The spirit of discontent is allay- ed and all are looking forward to the start. Numbers of people visited the barracks yes- terday, and quite a sum was realized from their generosity. Food and clothing are searce. The men are living on scant prov- ender, the boom of Wednesday having ap- parently died out. Kelley at De joines, Kelley’s California industrial army was comfortably housed last night in a vacant stove foundry east of Des Moines, Iowa, and has provisions for two days. At the end_of that time the citizens expect the army to continue its journey. Gen. Kelley declares that his men will remain urtil railroad transportation is furnished and ex- presses confidence that it will be forthcom- ing. If it is not, he says, the people of Des Moines can feed the army or let it starve. The attempt by some of Kelley’s men to capture a train at Van Meter Saturday night has increased the alertness of the railway officials. Frye’s Men Parade. Gen. Frye’s contingent of the Coxey army paraded at Indianapolis yesterday afternoon fn full strength and excited a great deal of attention from a large crowd of citizens who lined the sidewalks along the line of march. The army had been sub- jected to a bath and presented a clean ap- pearance, notwithstanding their wearing apparel was full of patches. A number of transparencies were carried, and the gen- eral rode in a carriage. Arriving at Tom- linson’s Hall, Frye addressed a tremendous audience on the subject of greenbacks. The army will make an ®ffort today to continue its march to Washington, but it will not be able to obtain transportation, as the railroads have positively refused to assist Frye. —>_ SHE FOOLED THE BAILIFF. Dora Donegan Gives an Exhibition of Her Dexterity as a Thiet. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Dora Donegan, one of the most skillful thieves known to the police, gave an ex- hibition of her art yesterday morning at the Harrison street police station, which gave Bailiff Vogel a still greater opinion of her dexterity. She had been arrested in pursuance of a standing order given by Chief Brennan to lock her up on sight, and was arraigred before Justice Foster. She was discharged, as there was no evidence against her. Before leaving the court room she stopped to chat with the bailiff. “You are pretty clever, Dora,” said Vogel, “but if all men were as hard to rob as I would be, you’d have to do something else for a living.” “Oh, some day some one will fool you, too,” said Dora. The two stood talking for a few minutes and then the woman left the room. Shortly afterward Bailiff Vogel found that his dia- mond scarf pin was missing. In an excited manner he called the attention of several officers to his loss, and they began to search the room, as the bailiff thought it had dropped from his scarf to the floor somewhere. While they were engaged in the search the Donegan woman approached Vogel and said: “Have you found your pin?” “No,” replied Vogel. “Well, here it is,” said the woman. “Be careful next time when you brag about yourself. I just wanted to show you that you would be an easy mark,” and she went away laughing. soe Restr ed From Teaching. A preliminary injunction was granted by Judge Baker at Hollidaysburg, Pa., Satur- day restraining six Catholic nuns from teaching in the public schools at Gailtzin, Cambria county. Judge Barker will hear a motion to dissolve the injunction on Thursday, May 3 - |B URT’S SHOES AT| FACTORY PRICES. | Wholesale prices at retail! The dull times in other cities have resulted in a number of canceled orders and caused an overstock of Burt’s Shoes at the Factory. We went to its rescue. We took the stock, provided we would be allowed to ‘‘cut’’ the prices, and our prop- osition was accepted. The sale will begin to- morrow, and will mark an epoch in the his- tory of the Burt Shoe Business, for never | before has any branch been allowed to cut prices on new styles at the beginning of a & season.
