Whore tho Goods Woro Stored. Patrick Barrett, CO years of ago and an Invalid, la the fatlier of Ethel and Maggie Barrett, the two girls who are now under ball for the larceny of u great quantity of goods from houses on the 1)111. A Tribune reporter visited the old gentleman last evening at his home, 818 Taylor avenue, Petersburg. The storv ho told was distressing. Physically ho Is a wreck, his cheeks sunken, his eyes unnatural, Each time that he referred to Ethel, the eldest daughter, ho said "that girl," and never once mentioned her name. He was found sitting In a chair In his bedroom, which ho has not once left since last May. Ills disease Is con sumption. Mr. Uarrett pointed out a ohalr. He wanted to talk, he said, to free his family from the disgrace, he said. "That girl," speaking of Ethel, "Is a renegade." "Is she here now?" was asked. "Who, that girl?" and the aged form shook with emotion, "she here! No, she will never darken my door again. I didn't know she was steallnir," he cried; "I didn't know. You see the mother died In February and my boy John had his leg hurt at Nay Aug park. I was In bed here and he was In that room over there. She was out serving and I sent for her. She stayed with me for some months and then she told me one day that I must pay her wages. My own daughter asking for pay!" ETHEL LEFT HIM. Barrett controlled himself, and con tinued: "Well, she left mo nnd went working out nsaln. She came back about three months ago and fooled around. You .ee," he said, In expla nation, "I know what's going on In these three rooms on this floor (the ground suite), but upstairs there are two empty rooms. It was wrong to say that the house was filled with stolen goods from cellar to garret. There never was anything found In my rooms. That girl put the stuff In tho spare rooms." "I didn't know nnything nbout It, God knows. She used to come In here to my room and pretend to look In the papers for a place to work. Then she'd go out and come back. I used to hear her moving about after midnight up In the empty rooms, and when I asked her what she was doing she would say: 'I'm waiting for Johnnie.' Johnnie." explained Barrett, "worked late In the morning at the park. So I thought she was waiting for him. But God forgive her she wasn't." HIS OTHER DAUGHTER. "Where 3 the younger girl, Moggie, is she home?" was asked. "Yes, the darling" the wide glassy eyes looked kindlier. "Yes, she's homo. She's as Innocent as the snow, she Is. It was that girl who did it. My Mag gie Is good. The time the police stop ped her was the first time Maggie had done any wrong. That girl (Ethel) on the day she was caucht, was working out. About 5.30 that evening she sent for Maggie, and when she got her down there she drew her Into It. Mag gie didn't know. She tells me that she Jaw some of the .things upstairs but that girl (Ethel) told her she had bought them. "And." continued Mr. Barrett, "she hadn't need to steal the dishes: she hndn't need to take the chalrw. either." "No!" he concluded, "we didn't need It. I'm glad they're out of the house. I wouldn't have rested If I knew they were there. Make It right before the public, young man," he said as the reporter was leaving; make- It right. My friends won't believe It, but strang ers might think I knew all about that girl's dirty work." When asked what ho thought actuat ed her, the father said: "I don't know. I saw In the paper something klepta kleptn " "Kleptomaniac?" "Yes, that's it. I hope you'll set me right; I hope you'll take away the stain." Ethel Barrett, it was learned, Is liv ing with her uncle, Thomas Collins, who went her ball. Yesterday the po lice recovered thirty pieces of china ware nnd crockery which had been stolen from refrigerators by Ethel. SUICIDE OF BULLITT.

The Girl Whose Nock Is Improving Un der Treatment--A Topic with Wrinkles. It Is really a great blessing that we cannot possibly know all the selfish ness and little miserable traits of our friends and acquaintances. The bliss of Ignorance Is rather more to be de sired on this score than most others. It Is such n comfort to be unshaken In our belief In their Infallibility, nl though of course most of us have a keen enough realization of our own shortcomings to preclude too harsh Judgment on others. While It Is pain fully true that friendship is based largely on an exchange of goods, It is not the less nn unpleasant revelation when this fact Is made too apparent. Isn't It largely because of the wound Inflicted on our self conceit? We dis like to discover that we have been loved because of being a sort of social lever or business promoter, or respect ability voucher, or metaphorical merry-go-round for our friends. We are not comfortable after making the dis covery that they have a canny regard for the carriage rides, the pleasant entertainments, the little Influence or the small gifts we can bestow, and how very unwise It Is for our friends to admit to their friends that such Is the case, for we are certain to hear about it sooner or later and how pessimistic It does make us, to be sure. The mod ern definition of gratitude Is, you know, "a lively sense of things hoped for," but If only people would manage to better conceal their appreciation of this rendering we should all bo so much happier, But they Just won't. There Is always somebody to whom they confess. "We don't care much about him, you know, but then he's In a position where he can do us a world of good In the way of Influence, nnd of course we must look out for our In terests," or "we daren't offend her, you see, because she might do some thing, write us up, or forget to praise us, or go to encouraging our rivals, or make us regret It In some way." Isn't It horrid, nnd doesn't It cause you to wish you had never thought of anybody but yourself, had tried to get everything out of the world and had given nothing In return? And Just then when this sort of mood begins to make you perfectly wretched you suddenly remember the dear, gentle, noble friends you know are true, who would love you Just the same whether you had or had not nnything but love to give In return, who honestly believe that everything you sny or do Is Just too smart for anything, and whose presence you always leave with a feel. Ing that you must simply go home nnd pat your own head with self npprovnl. Then you are glad you are alive after all, decide that It is n pretty nice world, and It Is good to be in It. Then the memory of the others who may have been after the loaves and fishes doesn't leave as bad n taslo In your mouth as you feared It would, and ns you recall the small kindness you have been able to do toward them, the very remembrance of those kind nesses Is rather pleasant. You don't regret the afternoon which you had Intended to spend In much needed rest, but which Instead you devoted to hurrying nbout town endeavoring to enlist Interent In a struggling young woman, even If she did afterward la ment bitterly nnd speak harshly of you because you tried to give a similar as sistance to another young woman equally deserving. It was exhibiting much assurance on her part to imag ine she held the copyright for all your good offices, and she was an ungrate ful little dunce, to be sure, but you did take considerable pleasureln the small effort needed at the time and the thought still warms your heart. You don't absolutely regret Ihe cheery smiles you used to bestow on some body, whom you afterward heard had wronged you In thought and word. The smile wns for the friend you be lieved to be true. You do not feel that you would take back the kindly praise you once paid to the person who has always misjudged you and regarded you with disapproval. Your spoken appreciation waB delivered with Jus tice. You don't even grieve to remem ber that you said kind things of ono who was not at all worthy, and you can actually laugh over the remarks repeated to you by some enterprising friend to the effect that a Indy you had always admired to an Irrational de gree, had declared that you never wear a gown that hangs well In the back. Oh what n very dreary hard-tacky world It would be If we really had to believe that nil our sweet, lovely dolls are stuffed with t--avdu&t, and care no more for us than for the other people who smile and give them tender lit tle pats of affection. Now I didn't start to say this at all. What I did Intend to write and know you are dying to read, Is that a pretty girl whose neck wasn't a Joy forever haB been trying the massage treatment recommended In this col umn three weeks ago nnd already she comes to mo with a song of victory, for the bones are miraculously disappear ing. Fact, I told you so. I knew It all the time nnd could rime you sev eral other cases, only they beg me to keep still and allow them to astonish their friends nt the first big dance. Then, too, I was Intending to give a great deal of good advice on wrinkles, not wrinkles In tho face, but other kinds, and there were several ques tions to answer regarding the hands, but, dear me, thero have been so much religion and so many more Important things to look ufter this week that such frivolous subjects as the face and hands must wait.

With him was a fair damsel, also awheel. As the couple were returning nlong a moun tain road, and were over six miles from the central city, the young man suddenly changed his seat from the bicycle to the road. It was so sudden thnt tho young man sat still ror a minute or two, figuring out jut vhat it was he struck. He 1 near him a nice big stone. ' this score, the young man il get his wheel. The young ".teanwhlle had dismounted t'lidlng sympathy, thought a good Idea, too. a painful search short the disco ti' Satl'i ili um! It v, c To , young nnn couldn't find that wheel.' It had rolled away somewhere, and the moon having disappeared, too, the wheel could not be found In the dark. They returned home, the young man wnlklng the six miles and the young lady awheel. The next day the young man went to the scene of his nocturnal experience, and after spending a half day searching nbout he learned that a teamster living near by nnd found tho wheel, nnd at that time the machine was In the teamster's house. The young man went to the teamster, but was coldly turned down. Tho flnder wanted a reward. The young man returned to the city and secured a search warrant from Al derman Millar's ofllce. With this he recovered his wheel. "Where did you find the wheel?" the teamster was asked. His answer Indicated that the bike stopped at a point fifty yards from the nice big stone. Councilman Luther Keller, of the Seventeenth ward, who Is one of tlvj largest dealers in lime, plaster, cement, etc., In this part of the state, made tho assertion yesterday that the coming winter will be the poorest In the build ing line that the city has had In ten years. He did not wish to bo understood, however, that there will be a great de pression. There are many small struc tures now In process of construction and many more will be begun from time to time. Mr. Keller's temarks were brought out particularly on nccount of tho fact that this will be the first win ter and spring season In ten years that some largo building which requires vast labor and material has not been In progress. No such buildings ns Hotel Jermyn, the Mears building, the Connell build ing, the Traders' National bank, or the Board of Trade are In prospect. And It was commenting on the fact that thhr Is the first time In a decade that some mammoth building will not be under way that led him to talk upon the subject. That Scranton has had ten years of continuous activity In the building line, speaks very eloquently of the amount of confidence men with money have In Its future as a city. That thero are no big buildings in prospect means nothing more than that the building trade Is about to take a breathing spell after a long period of great and continuous exertion. Wlkes-Rarre Is about to engage In red hot campaign the object of which Is to decide whether tho provisions of the state constitution with reference to cities of the third class shall be adopted. The city Is now operating under special charter. The Wilkes Uarro Record said editorially on the subject: Councilman JSoyle has compelled a showing of h.inds In the city council on tho third class city charter question. That body, on Mr. Iloylo's ordinance pro vldlng for the adoption of the third class city act, stood 8 to IS In the negative. Tho author of tho ordliinnco probably did not expect Us passage and was not dis appointed when It was defeated. Tho de cisive battle on this Importunt n.unlclpal question will be fought next February In the election of new tounellmen. Whether or not the proposed change In our munlolpal Rovernment takes place In the near future, if ever, will depend en tirely on tho result of tho election. Aglta. ting tho matter In tho present council, by petition or otherwise, Is only a waste ot tlmo and energy. It Is apparent that bolh sides will place candidates for council In the field In every ward In which council men are to be elected. As a rule the citi zens will voto as their views on this question dictate. If, when tho new coun. ell Is organised, a majority favor the pro posed chango It will bo made; If a major ity shall bo against tho ohango then wo will go on us at present.

Many curious Instances of the spread of foreign customs nnd the absorption of Kurepean Ideas me found In the English nnd vernacular npwsnnrers of China. Reforms are adopted very slowly In China. The law remnlns ns It was 1,000 years ago, and all the cus toms that pertain to the worship of ancestors and the upholding of pat ernal authority cannot be altered by so much as a hair's breadth without provoking a storm of prot-st which not even the highest authority could af fect to ignore. A case Illustrating the remarkable hold that superstition ban even on perbons of wealth and Intelligence comes from a place south of Canton. It. seems thnt the persistent Ill-fortune of a respectable family of some wealth was traced to the fact that they had selected an "unpropltlous" site for th- burial of the bones of the head of the house. The Chinese cus tom Is to exhume the coffin after three years, and to wnsh the bones and put them in a Jar. This Jar Is then burlsd In a shady place, usually under a tree, and over It the sons do ancestral wor ship that assures the happlnes of the departed. The son of this unfortunate family dug up the two Jars contain ing ancestral bones, cleaned them care fully and then reburled them. But re cently a neighbor by chance exhumed the Jars while he dug for something else. This was regarded as a bad omen nnd the Jars were taken out and cleaned for another removal. The wiseacres of the town said that several misfortunes which had befallen the family were due to the unproplt lous sit selected for these Jars, and when the European who records this Incident visited the village he found tho relatives and friends engaged In solemn discussion of the proper placa to rebury tho bones. This family be longed to the respectable, educated class, yet believed In thro gross sup erstltlons ns fully as any Ignorant coolies. Paternal authority Is still supreme In China, and when the old family law comes Into conflict with the state law it Ih tho state that must yield. An Incident Illustrating this comss from Hunan. A doctor named Liu was found dead on the highway. All the evidences of a deliberate murder were present. But while an Inquest was being held tho dead man's father appeared and coolly declared that he had slain his son becauwe of th young man's un filial conduct. It seems that the son had beaten the father, as well as oth er members of his family, and he had even chastised several elderly men of his clan who had gone to remonstrate with him. So the father had killed him, as the law empowered him to do. Tho magistrate referred the whole case to the board of punishments, as he did not feel authorized to condemn the fa ther, especially as the gray-beards of the Liu clan testified that tho son had received only his due.

The offender was Prince Tsal Shu, the eldest non ot a widow. He showed open contempt for his moth er's wishes, by feigning Illness when her birthday anniversary festivities oc curred. To cap the climax of his of fences, he failed also to return thanks for tho Empress Dowager's birthday gifts to his mother. The matter was referred to the Empress Dowager, who prescribed eighty blows with the rat tan and the perpetual Imprisonment of the undutlful son "wltnln the four walls of an empty room." The emperor confirmed this edict, so the son will have ample leisure to repent to his of fence.
