A DRIVE TO WAPPINGER FALLS, Liveryman Tells a Story of Two Suspicious Looking Cu tomers. (@pectal to The Hvening World.) FISHKILL LANDING, April 13.—It is mow believed by the Matteawan Asylum authorities that Perry, the train robber, and his companions, who have not been captured since they escaped from the asylum, gre responsible for a number of burglaries which have been committed hear here since they got away. ‘On account of this theory credence 1s tiven to the story told by the hotel- ‘keeper, William Turner, of Fishkill Village, who says that on Thureday night he drove two mysterious stran- gera from his place to Wapinger’s Falfé, six miles north of Fishkill, Tur- ner says that the men insisted on leay- ing him on the road just outelde of Wappinger’s Falls and inquired the dis. tance to Poughkeepsie. One of them paid him, taking a big roll of bills from his pocket, and Turner left the men standing in the road hat night, about 10.30, the daughter of Lewis Adams, a farmer living about tte miles from Wappinger's Falls, was akened by the raising of a window next to her bedroom, which is located on the ground floor. Miss Adams lighted a lamp and start- ed for her father’s room when she heard one of the men say: “These folks haven't gone to bed yet.” She looked out of the window and saw the men walking across a field towards John Shoenfield’s house, She thinks there were three of them, though there may have been but two. The prowlers then broke into Shoen- field's cellar, through a window, and ate ® quantity of cake and canned fruit. It has just been learned that on Fri- @ay afternoon, about 3 o'clock, one of thé farm houses of John Bedell, a dairy- man of Meadow Vale, about three miles northeast of Poughkeepsie, was broken into while the occupants were out. The burglar cut out a pane of glass, and put- ting his arm through the aperture un- locked the door, which was fastened ‘upon the inside. He ransacked everything in the house, and took $10 from a leather setchel, which he cut open, He left the furniture in confusion, but took nothing Lesides the money. Supt. Allison says that this seems like McGuire's method of operating, being similar to the manner in which he escaped from his cell, but the doctor thinks that if {t was McGuire his ap- pearance would have attracted atten- ton. The asylum authorities were also no- tified this morning that a store at Hughsonville, two miles from Wappin- ger's and about eight miles from New Hamburg, had been broken into last night and that a pair of rubber boots, @ brown coat, @ slouch hat and a hand- kerchief were stolen. It 1s thought that these may have been taken by one of the fugitives, all of whom were scantily clad when they got away. "The theory of the asylum authorities and local officers, until Quigley was caught in a box-car nine miles from Matteawan yesterday, was that the men had got well out of the neighborhood, ‘and possibly to New York. Since Quig- ley’s capture, however, it is argued that all the others--Perry, Davis, McGuire and O’Donnell—may also be hiding not fer away In fact, this opinion {s so general that farmers and others living in the surrounding country are arming for fear Pefry and his companions, mado des- perate by hunger, may attempt rob- Every tramp from West Point to Poughkee: on both sides of the Hudson is regarded with suspicion, and it Im expected that a number of arrests ‘will be mad ‘Having Quigley’s explanation of the escape as a basis on which to act, Supt. of Prisons Lathrop and Dr. Hamilton, ihe, Subttinteracrenag fivontitaten teMand cout whose carelessness made velle Hei este Keys to the cell doors from two Lyn It a & rule of the institu- ton cles when given ‘out must be! counted wh road 80 WHO READS THE EVENING WORLD? | Some Interesting Facts About the Greatest Circalation in Existence. As to no every-day matter, probably, 1s there more misconception than as to the nature and character of the circula- tion of one-cent afternoon newspapers. Everybody who stops to think of it, for instance, knows that everybody else he knows or sees near him, in the streets, in public conveyances and everywhere else, reads “The Evening World.” But very few have ever stopped to consider what this means. It has been customary to consider the cheap newspaper as the organ of cheap people, and in the popular mind its cir- culation i@ Hmited to certain districts and certain classes of people. The fact Is, however, that such a con- dition, if it ever existed, has long since ceased. The cheap people, so-mis- called, that is the people who work for their living, the bone and sinew and mainstay of the community, do read the one-cent afternoon newspapers. But these papers are also read, and with equal interest, by every other class in the community. They--and “The Even- ing World,” with a far greater circula- tion than all the rest combined, is the example and pattern of them all—have become the newspapers of the people. The people no longer depend upon morning papers for the news proper. To them they look for comment and elaboration, but for the news itself they depend upon the one-cent afternoon pa- pers, and especially upon ‘The Hven- ing World,” which alone maintains sep- arate ncws bureaus at Washington and Albany, and ts represented by its own correspondents in all the other great news centres, thus doing away with the old idea that the field of a one-cent afternoon newspaper was limited to the immediate locality of its publication, Where ‘Evening Worlds” Go, For the purpose of proving the ex- tent to which the one-cent afternoon papers have displaced the old organs as news distributors, and at the risk of disclosing itn business, to an extent, to rivals, “The Evening World" will print here some details showing where {ts circulation goes and by what varied sorts of people it is read. First and most surprising, in view of the prevailing conception of the scope of one-cent journalism, attention should be called to the circulation of the paper beyond the metropolitan limits, that ‘8 outside of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken and immediately adjacent towne. It would be considerably easter to tell where it does not go than to enumerate the hundreds of towns and little villages within a radius of a hundred miles or 60 of the metropolis where it is regularly sent in bundles of ten to 1,000 copie: And not only this, but it goes to the very extremities of the State-out as far as Buffalo, up into the Adirondacks, and spreads all over the valley of the Hud- son, through the Catskills and along the southern tier, Percentage of Readers to Population Taking the route along the West Shore, for example, one out of every twelve people in the town of Cornwall takes ‘The Evening World,” one out of every ten in Haverstraw, one of eight in Marlboro, one out of five in Stony Point, and in West Haverstraw every other person in the place, according to the last census report, takes the paper. Kingston, Stony Point, Saugerties, Rondout and Newburg have a good representation among the readers of “The Evening World.” It is even more popular on the east aide of the Hudson, and almost every town of any size, and some of the small way stations all the way between New York and Albany, are well represented on the list. ‘This 1s especially true of the places along the Harlem Division of the New York Cen- tral. Croton Falls, Amenia, Bedford Station, Ormonk, Chatham, Katonah, Mt. Kisco, Carmel,Chappaqua, Mahopac, Brewster’s,Copake, Huntsdale and many others which average not more than 500 population, have all the way from fifty to sw readers of “The Evening World” each. Tuckahoe, Wesaic, Paw- ling and White Plains are especially to be mentioned, the latter showing @ pro- portion of one to five of the population among the paper's constant readers, Sales Along the Hudson. Along the Hudson River road there are fifty-three cities and towns between New York and Albany which get a sup- ply of “Evening Worlds” every day, the number ranging all the way from’ five Up to 200, Ih Peekskill, Rhinebeck, Rhinecliff, “Croton Landing, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Hastings-on-Hudson, Sing Bing, ine Plains, Tarrytown, the proportion of readers ‘is one to éver; elght to twelve of the population in enc place, while in Scarboro there is one ‘Evening World” to every two of the population. Among the other places ‘hich contain a goodly number of ‘Evening Werld” readers are Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Cohoos, Coxsackie, Fishkill, Catskill, Garrisons, Ballston Spa. ribution of the paper over the southern and western part of New York State Is equally extensive, the re- turns from towns along the lines of the Erie, New Haven, and other roads and their Various branches will show. Mid- dletown, Goshen, Port, Jervis, Nyack Plermont, Ellenville, City Island,” Mi maroneck, Mount Vernon, Portchester, New Rochelle, Rye and Westchester each has an army of regular readers of “The Evening World,” running well up into the hundreds,’ in the case of Portchester the proportion to the popu- lation being about one to five.

Taking, for instance, the lower section of the cliy, from Chambers street to the Battery, It appears that about 16 per cent, of the entire city circulation’ is distributed at various points within that Umit. ‘This 1s the circulation through wholesalers and does not include the papers sold to the swarm of newsboys at thelr window In “The World’ lation department, as many.
