At his flat on upper Third avenue he had a safe in which to store the jewelry he stole, melting pots to destroy the identity of gold and silver ‘plate, tools to take jew- els out of their settings, and the full equipment of burglars’ imple- ments. Gormley was also a mem" | ber in'good standing of the burglar | trust. When the police caught Gorm- ley he was promptly released on low bail by the ‘police magistrate, and even that bail tums out to be a straw bond. There is'a good deal of fuss be- ing made about Gormley’s disap- pearance because the policemen who arrested him expected to add to their reputations by it.‘ Except for that, Gormley’s case is one of many. Scores of burglars and pick- {Rockets never go to jail. They keep on year after year in comparative sdmmumity, molested by the law little more than are Wall street criminals, ** The burglars and pickpockets of New York have learned a lesson | from high financial methods. Instead of operating alone they form syn- tdicates. They arrange in advance with skilled lawyers to look after their interests. They go into politics. They even make campaign con’) dibutions, like Perkins. They contribute to a getaway fund, to hush | money, to fixing money. They have a treasurer, counsel and a board Of directors, like the big trusts which incorporate in New Jersey. ional THIEVES ASSOCIATION OF NEW NORK CITY.

That'is like Mr. Jerome’s presenting the evidence against the in- dependent ice dealers to the Grand Jury while the ice trust escapes. When a burglar comes here from Chicago, or a pickpocket from London, or a second story man “ from Philadelphia, and he umder- takes to do business without first jOining the proper association or trust, he is very likely to land in Sing Sing. :, The man who gave a straw bond for Jack Gormley 'is a former police court clerk. That is one way some police court clerks have ac- quired as many tenement ‘houses as some police captains. Giving a good bond costs something. Occasionally such a bond is forfeited.' Giving a straw bond is cheaper, and where a police court ‘clerk stands in it is easy. * The bad example of high finance shows as well in the bur- gars’ and ‘pickpockets’ trusts as in the doubling of the number of street! car conductors who have been discharged for knocking down fares. —— ‘| Letters from the People.

Marrying for Money. | WO women met on a street corner the other day. I One was young, unmarried and self-supporting; the other fn the forties and a wife. “Mrs. Blank 1s getting a divorce," said the older wom I didn't think she would be so foolish." “Why foolish? He made her life unbearable. She has never loved him. Every moment of their life together wae @ degradation to her,” was the reply. “But think of his position, his salary,” urged the mae tron, Then she laughed. “You can afford such romantie notions. You are independent. But nine women out of ten live with men that they don't love. What else can you expect of them? They are incapable of making # living for themeelve! Of course, the estimate of the percentage of unloving wives is greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, there is @ basis of truth in the remark. There are still women who marry without love, because the only alternative that presents itself ie that of self-support. There are wives who, having lost all respect for and confidence in the!r husbands, com tinue to lve with them because they prefer to suffer the loss of their ideals to their weekly allowance. Both these varieties of wives would be highly scandel- |4zea if they heard themselves classified as unideal. Yet they are. The woman who becomes @ man's wife without loving him sells him e gold brick. What a man wants in a wife is not some one to receive and send out | his laundry, not even some one to feed him on his favorite dishes and give him Eats He wants sympathy and disinterested affection. And the fact that a woman is willing to marry him he takes as an indication that she is willing to give them to him. | | Halt the ‘monsters of inconstancy” that women tell each other #0 mudht about are made dy @ lack of understanding and sympathy at home. The other half are not material for marrkge, and if a woman finds herself burdened with one, the only thing to do 1s to get rid of him Marriage, as it has been remarked before, has the longest hours and the poorest pay of any trade that women can work at. Any woman that makes good as a wife could earn more money with much less trouble in any one of & dozen occupations open to women. Rightly Interpreted and rightly Mved by two people, marriage 1s the noblest occupation in which a woman can participate. But contracted or continued in merely for a living, !t je about the worst as well as the least remunerative thing she can do. MO OOODDODDOCO0G0000000000: IO OOOO!
