Fully seventy years old, with patriarchal white beard and steel rimmed spectacles, and seemingly Iiv- Ing the life of a Jekyll and Hyde, he was arrested to-day after a vicious fight, and is now a prisoner in the Eld- ridge street station, while his past Is being overhauled. Mrs, Osias Kraus, sixty-four years old, whose husband conducts a prosper- ous little dry goods store at No. 9 ‘Allen street, was awakened at 2 o'clock this -morning in her sleeping-room back of the store by # man with a dark lan- tern who was looking In at her through a window. She screamed and the man disap- peared. About 3 o'clock Louis Roth- man, who lives on the top floor of the building, came home and as he went to the back yard to mount the rear stairs he saw a man at work on the heavy door back of Kraus's store. The turglar had a brace and bit and was drilling holes about the lock, Rothman called to him, demanding to’ know what he was doing there.

Becker started for Ryan with a butcher knife, which had been ground to the shape of a stiletto, The men fought about the yard, but the aged mi strength finally gave out and he was taken to the Eldridge street station, When Osias Kraus was taken over to the station to see Becker, he exclaimed: “Why, 1 know that man, He lives in fhe same building that we do with his beautiful daughter, Taey have lived there several. months. He has never worked and { wondered what he did for a living.” The palice went back to the bullding to get the daughter, PRIEST SAYS In Father Curry Causes Arrest of Youth-) ful Parishioner, Who, He Declares, Stole Money from His House, Charged with having robbed a priest while seeking spiritual consolation, John Kelly, elghteen years old, was arraigned in the Centre Street Court to-day and committed to the Tombs pending 4 trial Kelly is alleged to have stolen articles from the home of the Rey.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN CUT FROM SCHOOLS Boare of Superintendents So Decides on Account of Séo- tional Feeling and It’s Barred, “Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been dropped from ‘the class libraries of the New York public schools. The book that for years has made children ery with “Uncle Tom" and “Little Eva," and which many persons think caused the war, arouses sectional feeling, the teachers say, and so it has been barred, “Uncle Tom's Cabin’ has been Sn- cluded in the catalogue of class libraries since they were founded, and at one time was one of the most widely called for bools on the lst. Of late years, however, it has come to be looked upom by school children as of another era, and its political aspect coes not appeal to them. x The new catalogue was prepared under the supervision of Claud G,-Leland, Su- perintendent of Libraries, Mr. Leland found that some of the superintendents were in favor of having ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin" give place to some other book. Mrs. Stowe's work, therefore, did not appear on the revised list. When the Board of Superintendents, eight inynumber, met on Thursday to! examine and approve the revised logue, they pronounced the catali excellent in selection, and the sole ques- tion was on the inclusion or exclusion of “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” The vote was a tie.
