Lii THE CITY' IN BRIEF. Arrest of Italian Counterfeiters by the Police. CAPTAIN PORTER ANGRY. Receiver Nye Follows the Right Scent for a Thiet i Charto Harris Plays Herrmann in th Fair and Detective Di-1 covers Him. I Officer Ales and Rapetta yesterday arrest-ad three Italians and locked tbera up at the Harrison Street Station.

They are said to be counterfeiters, and Captain Koch said last night they would be turned orer to the United States authorities today. Their names are Frank. Nicholas, and Ralph Buglla, the Utter being but years old. The police were working- on the case last night and refused to sire out any more Information concern-Ins it Captain Porter, of the United States Secret Service, was very indignant when be heard of the arrest. He and his men hare been watching the case for three weeks, and he said jtltat the Interference of the city detective will prevent the capture of the leaders or the location of the plant.

They have lust spoiled a good case. said the captain. "Three weeks' hard work will go for naught. The plant where all this stuff la made will never be found now, and If those officers have made arrests on Information I furnished them there will be trouble. captain porter learned three weeks ago that; a number of Italians were distributing more worthless coin than they could accident ally get.

and a child was detected with about $1S Worth of the bogus money. It had been vent; out to dispose of the stuff when secret service officials learned of It. Instead of arresting the chUd Captain Porter followed It bom and learned where the parents lived without creating any suspicion. The par' enta were being watched and one clew after another was being followed and the loca tioa. of the counterfeiting plant was about to be learned when the police officers ar rested three of the people concerned.

STHICK THE RIGHT SCEST. 37 Okeys mm Old Adage and I Fallavva Ills Tie. Jim" rye. receiver for the Economical Drug Company, at No. 84 State street, smelt out a leakage in the perfume department of the above store, for which, he says, ne of the clerks, William Johnson by name.

Is responsible. For over a year Mr. Nye has noted tbst this perfume was going very rapidly, and believed It to be the best selling article in the store. But when during the hard times the attar of roses disappeared in large quantities he threw up his bands In horror and ordered an Investigation. Mr.

Nye says that he even went Into the detective business himself on the quiet, snd left home one evening bent on locating the plant and finding, if possible, the thief, who. perhaps at that moment, was laving his body in Florida water or moistening his handkerchief In high-priced perfume. On walked "Jim" Nye. till at length he reached the neighborhood of Dearborn and Fortieth streets. Here he stopped and whiffed the midnight air 'In spite of a Bridgeport odor which was wafted toward him by the western sephyr.

"Jim" struck the trail and marched to 403 Forty-Fifth street, where, he says, he located in Willie Johnson's room many dollars' worth of crabapple blossom and other high-scented liquids. Mr. Nye next interviewed Johnson, who. he says, confessed to having moved out part of the Economical company's stock and gone into partnership with one Donlan. who peddled his wares about in the street, without a license.

Mr. Johnson, after being arrested, wss arraigned before Justice Underwood at the Harrison Street Station yesterday morning, and the stolen property, which was there for identification, transformed the courtroom Into ia flower garden, while the dilapidated hangers-on who frequent the Armory flocked around the prisoners' dock and inhaled the fragrance. After a learned squabble between prosecution and defense the testimony was weighed by Justice Underwood, who held Willie to the grand Jury In $700 bonds. SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINIO Irs Regard ta the Ferassal Character of Char lea Harris. Charles Harris says he bunks at the Irving House, on Van Buren street, and is an honest man.

House Detective Webster, of the Fair, say that Charlie will bear watching. to the sleuth, Mr. Harris entered the store last Saturday afternoon an walked out with a silk unbrella worth 5. and failed to return the same. On Monday Charlie again visited the Fair, this time with a small flat box wrappepd In white paper and having one end open.

For some time Mr. Harris performed trick. in: magic, causing small articles, such as ladles' fancy belts and gentlemen's neckties, to disappear within the wonderful box. Detective Webster, who stood near by, looked on In astonishment. For a time he believed Charlie to be Professor Herrmann, when he happened to remember that that gentleman was possessed of long mustaches.

Accordingly he approached Mr. Harris, requesting him to come to the office and be searched. Charlie made an eloquent plea for respite, but Webster's heart was of stone and his ear was deaf. Mr. Harris then took the sleuth to one side and showed him a tin watch.

said Charlie, "snail be yours. If you but let me wend my weary way toward 8C Louts." Even the tin timepiece faild to make an Impression upon Hawkshaw Webster, and the young magician was placed under arrest. Testeray morning Charlie stood before Jus-. tice Underwood at the Harrison Street Police Station; by his side stood Detective Webster, who showed to his Honor the workings of the wonderful box. Mr.

Harris was charged with taking several ladies belts, gentlemen's neckties, si cetera. -I never took any "said Charlie, "and. what's more, I don't know what It Is." Nevertheless, be' was bound over to tb Criminal Court In $509 bonds. IT SHRANK 1 COOKING. Maaster sf the Dees Rceacrd ta Xadeat Praaiartlaaa.

Brenan. That number of the board. Mr. Rosenthal charged, had said that he did not care for a superintendent who would change his views. Mr.

Rosenthal appeared at tbe committee meeting with a large package of letters. These, contained the cplnlons of 121 principals that the book was unnecessary. Mr. Rosenthal ssald that he had addressed, letters to all of the principals' lh the schools, and that ninety had failed to respond to his request for an opinion. He then askod that the book be discontinued from the course of study.

Mr. Thcrnton said that the book was a valuable one, and he should vote for Its retention. Mr. Rosenthal responded tbst be did net condemn tbe book, but conteudec that It was unnecessary, as what it taught could also be learned from the first y-flve pages of Maxwell's grammar that was used when the pupils reached the sixth grade. Tbe first pages of tbls bcok.

he said, were not used at all. and by their use a Sv lng of 40 cents could be msde to all pup'1. Mr. Halle then made the met ion tbst the use of tbe book In the schools be referred to Mr. Lane and bis assistants, who are re-pcrt before the next meeting of the board.

The resolution was mad? the special order for the committee meeting two weeks from yesterday. Three teachers "In thevHerman Raater School think that Martin Q. Henchy.

a fellow teacher, places too high a value on his dignity. They have appealed to the committee on school management to assist them In recovering $60. which was part of the price Henchy charged them 'for acting aa subject of a practical Joke. Some time In March last. Alice 8.

Berg. Margaret V. West, and Agnes Thane, who also teach in the Herman Raster School, saw Henchy's buggy Invitingly waiting before the schooihouse. Henchy wss sitting in a window of the schooihouse watching his possessions. The young women, for a joke, jumped Into the buggy, waved their hands to Mr.

Henchy. and drove down the street. As they drove around the corner Mr. Henchy began to reel that his dignity bad been Injured. The longer tbe bone was out of sight the greater hia humiliation became.

When finally four hours later tbe teachers returned from their lark, the damage to his feelings bad become so serious that only money, be thought, could repair It. The sequel to tbe drive Is best told In a letter which the teachers sent to the committee on school management yesterday, and is as follows: To tho Committee on School Management-Dear Sirs; Mr. M. O. Henchy.

tearber of a branch of Herman Kaater School, made threats of bringing suit against us. Mhu Berg.

Commissioner Kerr says that hia physicians will during these two hours visit the schools and vaccinate. those children who require it, thus saving them the trouble and annoyance of coming to tbe City Hall for that purpose. The permission was granted, and tbe schools will be opened for this purpose beginning with the first Saturday in Augusts Blackalla delicious coffee. tt Io5 Madison. TWO-JULY WEDDINGS.
