An incident in Paris illustrates the popular regard for General Pau, who
has been spending some time in that city since returning from his
political mission to Petrograd and the Balkan capitals. Persons who saw
the general enter the Red Cross branch in the Place Madeleine, waited in
the street to see him come out. A crowd soon collected. A young girl
borrowed a hat and quickly collected enough money in the crowd to buy
for the general a huge bouquet of red, white, and blue flowers.
General Pau appeared to be deeply moved on receiving the flowers, and
kissed the girl. The crowd cheered him, and as he drove off in his motor
car he responded by shouting: “Vive la France!”
Husband Rued His Bargain.
Belmar, N. J., women want to know the name of the wife who obtained from
her husband funds for a new Easter bonnet and two dollars, besides, as a
church contribution.
Women of one of the borough’s church societies each undertook to earn a
dollar. They were to tell how they made it. Some baked cakes and one
earned her share by deciphering a tombstone. The prize went to the woman
who bargained with her husband for a dollar to trim her own Easter hat.
The husband gave her a dollar not to wear the hat and bought her a new
hat besides.
Girl Arrests Hat Critics.
Miss Hannah Goldstein, of 1841 Prospect Place, East New York, chased two
young men whom she accused of criticizing her hat into a candy store
near her home, and there, after her screams had brought a crowd,
exercised the right of any citizen to make arrests.
She took both into custody with the support of the onlookers, and
escorted them to the Brownsville station, where they were booked on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
The prisoners said they were Louis Markowitz, of 1589 Prospect Place,
and Murray Zepkin, of 1858 Prospect Place.
Boy in Storage Three Days.
While the police of New York searched three days for James Kelly, the
fourteen-year-old foster son of Mrs. Thomas Riley, of 158 Kent Street,
Williamsburg, the youngster was locked in the subbasement of the
building in which he lived. A workman for a storage warehouse, which
occupies the lower floors, found him unconscious.
A general alarm was sent out for the boy, and it was only by accident
that the subbasement was opened, as goods had been placed there to
remain several months.
At the Williamsburg Hospital, where the boy was revived, he said he went
to the cellar to look for something, and found the door closed when he
attempted to leave. He screamed and beat upon the walls until he became
unconscious, he said. The vault was so far below the ground that his
signals were unheard.
England Aids Belgians
The English National Committee for the Relief of Belgium, organized as
an auxiliary of the American Relief Fund, has made an excellent start.
Although its appeal was issued a few days ago, $400,000 has already been
subscribed.
