Thirteen-Year-Old John Helborn Declared that He Had to Have Theatre Money, So He Stole Gems. ARRESTED HIM IN BED. ‘Thirteen-year-old John Helborn, who was taken from his bed by the police at his home, No. 159 East Twenty-- seventh streot, was arraigned in Jeffer- son Market Court to-day, charged with the robbery of Jewelry valued at $1,00. The boy was quite unconcerned and viewed the court proceedings indiffer- ently. Mrs, Addie Murray, who lives at No. 10 Bast Thirty-second street, appeared as the complainant. Spe explained that Dr. Collin Carter, who has an office in her house, had had the boy tn his em- ploy as messenger, Young Helbrun had the run of the house, and Mrs. Murray added she had for some time been missing various pieces of jewelry, among the articles taken being two unset diamonds, two unset garnets, a loose pearl, a goli necklace, a gold bracelet, a cameo stiok pin, @ dimond sunburst and a diamond ring. The boy was in the doctor's office yes- investments. Schuyler West, my at the Waldorf, took his breaking up the party I would have made a serious blunder. I quistly sent the brewer a note asking him to step out Into ‘Rubberneck Row,’ as we have nicknamed the corridor on the north alde of the bullding. It was an easy thing to explain to him that he was mixed in wrong. I never saw ‘Whitey’ about the hotel after that eccaston. “Distances?” ‘Well, I estimate that my dally beat was longer than any policeman’s In the greater clty—thirty-elght miles.

HONEST SHOES| At the Lowest Prices in New York City That Is the Kernel of the Story of this Great January Sale ‘HIS store's reputation for the lowest-priced shoes in the country has been earned by selling none but worthy shoes even at the littlest prices in our bargain sales. You Never Run Any Risk at Wanamaker's. When we tell you that soles are oak-tanned you'll find that serap- ing the soles shows the white leather, that is elastic, comfortable, and durable. Just yesterday we cut the sole of a shoe advertised elsewhere as oak-tanned, and it blushed as red as a school-girl caught eating candy in study-hours. It was the cheap hemlock tannage, that is stiff to wear, and soft to wear out. Shoes called “calfskin” were simply split leather; machine-sewing was called “welted.” Antiquated methods? Yes; but still in vogue. But it all tends to emphasize the goodness of WaNnaMAKER SHors —shoes always exactly as represented, and often better. Shoes good to look at when you buy them; comfortable to wear; and that give good; honest satisfying service. ; Judge our January Sale by two medium-priced and representa- tive offerings: Men's Calfskin Shoes at $1.90 Women’s Kidskin Shoes at $1.90 Both are genteel and correct in style; made of good, honest leathers.
