A youth of 18, named James. Burke, residing at No. 592 Quincy street was arraigned before Magistrate Worth in -the Gates Avenue Court to-day for suicide under peculiar and pathetic circumstances.

Three doctor pumped him out for nearly half an hour' before he was able to be removed to, the hospital.

The aunt in question, Miss Xfary' Morris, adopted the hoy when he was very young and she earned a living for herself and the child hy peddling candies and tlis like. She always kept tidy, well-dressed and comfortable and aVarm affection sprang up between the two. Burke was old enough and strong enough he worked with icemen and butchers-wherever he could get1 employment, in der to help meet the expenses of j)hs household. Up to three or four ago Mliuf Morris continued cheerfully "paddling, her candies and then she fell Burke did not imagine there was anything serious.

YOUNG THIEVES IN QUOD. Their Leader la an Experienced Till- Tapper, Why Waa Arrested Before, The capture of three boys after they had stolen a pair of Bhoes valued at from the store of HermajpHenning. at No. 1055 Broaitw ay. hagrteen the means of breaking up aTfoiTMesome gang of thieves, who, for more than a mouth, have heeu robbing Eastern District storekeepers.

The prisoners were arraigned to-day in the Lee Avenue Police Court before Magis trate Kianier. They were Moses and David Ituhenstein, brothers, 0 and 7 years old. hose pa rents live at No. 64 Moore streel. and Benjamin Furber.

0 years old. of No. 10, Moore street. Furber bears a bad reputation. He has been frequently aireted for till-tapping, but invariauly escaped puuishment on account of his diminutive appearance.

About six weeks ago he made the acquaintauce of the Ruhensteins, and. according to the broth-eis. he taught them how to steal. lortly after 7 o'clock this morning the youngest of the Rjibensteins went into Henning's shoe store afid stole a pair of shoes from the bargain counter. As he was going out a saleswoman observed him and when she stopped the thief at the front door Furhei, who had been on guard, pushed the woman and it gave the young robber a chance to escape.

1 The other Ruhenstein, who had been on the sidewalk, also ran away. An unsuccessful, effort was made to capture the three. more was seen or heard of them until about half an hour later, when the younger Ruhenstein entered the pawnshop of Samuel Korey. at No. 625 Broadway, and, laying the stolen shoes on the counter, said his mother needed money, and had sent him to get a loan of 25 cents.

It just happened that Detective Maxwell, of the Clymer street station, was in Koreys place in quest of stolen property, when Ruhenstein entered. Maxwell questioned him and at first th boy was not inclined to reply. While the deteetive was talking to h.im the hoy's brother opened the front door and directed the young thief to hurry as their mother was waiting for him. Maxwell nabbed him. too.

and then both hoys admitted the shoes had been stolen and blamed Furber for ail the trouble. They told the detective that Furher had taught them to steal. Furber was found in the neighborhood, and also arrested. The three were then kept in the pawnshop until the mother of the Ruhensteins appeared. She became greatly excited when she learned what her sons had done, and said she had been ignorant of their thieving exploits.

The woman undertook to spank the boys in the pawnshop, hut the detective restrained her. and took the prisoners to the statiou house, and later to court, where, when they appeared before Magistrate Kramer, they acted with indifference, and wpre given into the temporary care of the Children's Society, pending a further investigation by Agent Meyers.

ROUSING RATIFICATION MEETING- R.iolntion Offered by a Delegst. to the District Committee Evoke Greet Enthuiia.m is tke Seventh Di.triet Meeting Bryan and Stev-ensonJWere Cheered Again and Again Demand for Ticket, for the Annual Outing Carnes Sn.pen.ion of the Bu.ine.

of the Meeting, The Seventh Assembly District Democratic Headquarters, Fifty-third street, near Third aTeuue, were crowded last night with loyal Democrats who attended the regular, monthly meeting of the District Committee. Besides the sixty odd members of the committee there were hundreds of workers who sought the tickets for the annual outing and wanted, as well, to help in the indorsement of the tiatipnal ticket. The enthusiasm was marked in its old time vim, and the Bryan and Stevenson resolutions were cheered and applauded again and again. Councilman William A. Doyle presided over the deliberations of the Committee, and in opening the meeting expressed the pleasure he felt at the great interest manifested hy the Democrats of the district.

The Councilman was surprised, however, at the demand for the tickets for the out-iyg. The name of each delegate was called and he tookthe number of tickets ue required. When the order of business had been disposed of the meeting was suspended of necessity hy reason of the enormous demand for tickets from fhe spectators. Councilman Doyle handed out something more than fifteen hundred tickets. and then the meeting proceeded.

One of the delegates announced that he bad a resolution to offer and the enthusiasm began to manifest itself. The member offered the following: Resolved. That the Seventh Assembly District Democmtic Association hereby indorses and pledges its hearty support to the platform adopted and the candidates nominated at the National Democratic Convention held at Kansas City, July 4th. 10OO. We believe the time has come and now is.

when not ony Democrats but every American who believes in true Democratic government and in the principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence, drafted hy the founder of our party. and npon the principles of which the very foundation of our government rests should unite in unwavering support of that true type of American nianhood, that courageous soldier and brilliant statesman, the matchless orator. William Jennings Bryan, and of Adlai E. Stevenson, whose puii.ic record in the past is the proud boast of the Democracy. Our party has assumed without any doubt of the ultimate result, the defense of those doctrines for which our forefathers died, satisfied that the American pcone will on election day hurl fmm power that party which, in a trifle oi or three years haa so changed our foreign policy, 'characterized prior to their to power by peace with all nations and entangling alliances with none, to one filled to the brim with the spirit of imperialism and militarism, and whtch'ha's immersed ns in difficulties and perplexities which threaten our very existence as a republic, and the members of this organization count it a privilege to pledge its support and will count no sacrifice too great totp-estore to our party the control of the national government.

The reading of the names of Bryan and Stevenson evoked rounds of applause, the delegate finding it difficult to finish the reading. As it was handed up to the 1 rtwir the applause continued, and thu legates who seconded the resolution, kept the enthusiasm Sowing. The motion to vappoint a committee to purchase a handsome banner was loudly applauded. The banner will be flung across Fifty-third street in front of the headquarters. It will cost not less than $260, and the committee has authority to go higher if necessary.

-A Ooffeyife who saw the bubbling enthusiasm looked sad and wondered why Stapleton and Coffey did not remain in town to keep the seditios moving. FLOATING HOSPITALS. First Trip of the Summer Under St. John s'' Guild Auspices. The floating Hospitals of St.

The report of the British Consul in Cuba for the jear1899 state that the first year of American rule in the island waa a disappointment.

The expectejj revival of trade, inflow of capital and new public works have not materialized. The report says that no responsibility for the non-fulfillment of these- promises attaches to the American officials. They have worked honestly and in good faith for what they' considered to be the best interests of the island. It is not easy to see, continues the report, what more they could have done. Yhe one thing needed, however, they sre poweriess to give, namely the establishment of a permanent form of government A Woman's Foolish Act.

Whatever talk there may be, from time to time, about a lack of harmony in Brooklyn military organizations, there can hardly be any comparison between the occasional differences of this borough and that from which the Seventy-first Regiment officers sre now drawing a sufficient supply of wa rra'fti to keep them sweltering through the summer season. For example, witness the harmonious proceedings of Tuesday night's meeting.

It would he more exact to say Tuesday night's and Wednesday morning's meeting for the proceedings were not drawn to a until well on into the- stilly hours of which posts and fince proprietors rave. For some time past there has been outstanding a report of the committee appointed to nominate candidates for Tacant lieutenant colonelcy and one battalion commandership, Colonel Gates having prevented the presentation of a report by refusing to call a meeting of officers to receive it. Tuesday night's meeting was the second quarterly gathering of the year and there was no way of averting it. The staff, it is alleged, was accordingly notified to present itself in force, with the result that when the call to order was given there were present nine members thereof. During the reading of the minutes of the last quarterly meeting.

Captain Bleeckcr protested that they read incorreetly it being stated that ail the officers present had participated in the appointment of the committee on nominations, whereas only the line officers could have participated. Thp report was ron-erted and then some one called for the report of the Committee on Nominations for lieutenant-colonel and major. Colonel Bates protested. I do not wish to hear the report of that committee, he said. One of the line officers Immediately protested that it mattered nothing what anyone's personal wishes wgre in the matter, the rules of parliamentary procedure requiring that the report should be heard.

The colonel still insisted that the report of the f-snimittee wtis out of order. An appeal being njjide.he chair was sustained by a majority of two. all of the staff officers voting with the colonel. One of the line officers thereupon asked the colonel for some information as what was in order, seeing as the reading of reports was not Colonel Bates replied: Resolutions, are in men." Quick as a flash, the folio ing resolution was presented: Resolved, That it is the officers of the Seventv-first Lieutenant-Colonel Clinton H. Smith, the Volunteers, and Majorf J.

H. Wells he the candidates respectively, for these officers of- the Seventy-liilst Regiment, t.i fill the vacancies now existing. The colonel ruled this resolution out of order, aad another appeal being taken and a protest being made against allowing the staff officers to vote npon the question at issue. Xhehair overruled the protest, however, and the vote was taken, resulting in a majority of two for the colonel. The Committee on Nominations is still lnokirflEifor a chanre to present its report.

There is qo. doubt that Major Smith, who was recently dismissed lfter the report of a State Bouncing will receive its indorsement. Mansfield Posts snnual esmpfire will take place during the month of August, and tickets will soon he placed on sale 'with all of the comrades. The post is still as large and juisperntis as ever, and is managing to secure frequent additions to its ranks. Despite the fact that the next annual national encampment will he held a long distance from this city, it is expected that the post will be well represented.

The U. S. Grant Post headquarters were pronounced by several Tisiting comrades who called upon the command within the past fortnight to be the best in the city. Situated as they are some distance above the city, stryet they are nearly always cooler than is the average dwelling house. It is expected that many of thwcomradea connected with this pSst will go to Gettysburg on' the Labor 'day excursion.
