He went to investigate a complaint that there were starving horses and cows on the estate of King. He found them. Fourteen horses and eleven, apparently were not in been the fed stables in days. and One horse had to be shot. The officer informed Mrs.

Lebaudy that the animals had to be fed or that everyone on the place would be arrested for cruelty. When they had been cared for properly, he set out to find the King. He wanted hi mon a charge of cruelty to animals. Going down the Officer Foulke saw a man attired as a cowbey on a horse, and having in addition a rather multi-colored coat. With him was a boy, also cowboy dress, and mounted.

The unfortunate thing was that the King saw the. officer as soon as the officer saw the king, and by that divine power given to kings to divine things, he seemed to know the officer's mission. With a loud toot on his he put spurs to his steed and jumped a stone wall. The boy followed. The officer's conveyance was not equipped for the trip, SO he returned to Flushing.

Benrossi. APPEAL TO CATHOLICS. St. Vincent de Paul Society Asks Brooklyn Times Aid. The St.

Vincent de Paul Society appeals through the Brooklyn Times to the thousands of Brooklyn Catholics who are scattered throughout Long Island and other summer resorts enJoying their vacations, for aid in a worthy cause. The society needs at least $1,500 to maintain for the remainder of the season the summer home Freeport, which provides outings for the children of the olic poor. "This appeal is made with confdence," says the statement in the name to of the poor children, to the Catholics diocese whose means permit them to take a vacation themselves. It 1g said that sharing one's pleasure doubles it 80 that in asking a small contribution, say a dollar or more, from each Catholio on vacation who has not already contributed to this cause, we are making it possible for them to add to their own pleasure at a very trifling cost. "The society realizes that there are many demands upon vacationists for local charities at all summer resorts, but there is an order in charity, and the poor for whom this appeal 18 made are their fellow parishioners who belong to the same parishes and kneel at the same altars.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden today received sets of plans from McKim, Mead White, architects, in Manhattan, for extensions to the onestory green house, opposite Crown and Montgomery streets, and a two-story lecture hall. When completed, the building will stand, a symmetrical whole, as originally designed. Now only the south wing of the lecture hall, the center and one north wing of the greenhouse are erected. The additions will cost more than $150,000. Before construction work can be started, however, the plans must be passed upon by the trustees of the Brooklyn Institute, who act as the Board of Management for the Garden; also by the Park Commissioner.

Then bids will be advertised for. Officials of the Botanic Garden declared today they believe ground ought to be broken at the end of the month, or the latest two months. They said the additions could be not erected fast enough because now they cannot accommodate all those who desire inI struction, both children and adults. The completed lecture hall will be in the shape of a long oblong, with wings) at both ends and a central dome for the library. It will be 300 feet long.

The part now built occupies but 50 feet. When finished the greenhouse will consist of four small oblongs, with a large dome dividing them east and west and protruding at both sides. It will add 300 linear feet of space to the present structure. It is expected the building operations will take at least a year. All work will be of stucco and hollow tile, and the roof will be of red tile.

A space sixty by ninety at present used for children's gardening, will have to be removed to room for the enlarged greenhouse. It is planned to lay out a' new garden for the purpose near Malbone street. More than 7,000 persons obtained instruction at the Botanic Garden during the past year and it is expected. with added facilities at their command, twice that number will be enrolled. The addition to the lecture hall will be utilized for an enlarged library, more lecture and instruction rooms; one room for an herbarium; several for laboratories; a dark room for photographic purposes, and the remaining for staff and administrative needs.

The addition to the greenhouse will house great increases to present collection of plants and shrubs; also and, particular, a large space is to be devoted to children's gardening; and class room work for children and adults. A propagating house and means of carrying experimental work will take up another section. Lastly, the division of tropical economic plants will be allotted more space. At a meeting of the Board of Estimate, June 18, $100,000 was appropriated for the completion of the group of buildings of the Brooklyn Botanic, on condition a similar sum be by private subscription. This amount was contributed by Alfred T.

White, man of the Botanic Garden Committee, and two anonymous persons deeply interested in the work being carried on. The cost of the extensions and their equipment when completed, will be paid through this amount. CAR DAMAGES BUILDING. Tears Off Corner at Mattituck, but Occupants Escape Injury. Laurel, Aug.

'GOOD FRONT' THEIR ASSET Many Hostelries Swindled Out of Money.

Mrs. Harriet E. Wells, and her daughter, Mrs. M. J.

Weaver, convicted of defrauding the Hotel Bossert out of $350, to-day began sentences of one year each in the penitentiary on Blackwells Island. The women were tried and sentenced in Special Sessions yesterday before Justices Kernochan, Herbert, and Salmon. Mrs. Weaver pleaded with the court to be lenient, saying that her father, John C. Wells, of Warren, left $2,000,000 when he died.

Testimony showed that they were indebted to the Vanderbilt to the sum of $179; the Waldorf, the Manhattan, the Murray Hill and the St. Denis. The Imperial, Manhattan, said $146.21 was owed to them. A letter was read from J. W.

Frazier, manager of the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia, saying that Mrs. Weaver hotel $187.50 for lodging from June 20 to July 6. Mrs. Weaver termed the allegations "perfectly preposterous" and "utterly absurd." Her mother pleaded loss of memory. District Attorney Cooper declared their only only source of revenue was $9 8 month alimony which Mrs.

Weaver received from her divorced husband. One of the executors of the estate of John C. Wells testified that the egtate was closed twenty-five years ago and that the total proceeds were not more than $50,000. It was learned also that the two women had appealed to the Charity Organization Society in New York for funds. Mrs.

Mrs.

Weaver testified that her father left $2,000,000 when he died. It was tied up, she said, but she laughed merrily at the idea that she or her mother could think of beating anybody $350 or any other sum. She explained that her father, John C. Wells, wealthy boiler manufacturer who had left them plenty of money. In a little while they would have more money than they would know what to do with.

Then they could easily pay those troublesome bills of the Imperial for $146.21, the St. Denis for $209.61 and a lot of others. Mrs. Weaver was somewhat disconcerted when a letter was read from J. W.

Frazier, manager of the Belle- vue-Stratford, in Philadelphia, saying that she owed the hotel $187.50 for lodging from June 2 0to July 6. The prosecution's exploitation ot the sources and extent of the income of the two women who had lived so well at hotels revealed that Mrs. Weaver got $9 a month alimony. Even that was assigned for some time to a Mrs. McClurg, it was said, although later the assignment of alimony, was withdrawn.

Assistant District. AttorI ney Cooper said a careful search had failed to discover any other income.
