able during tho races. The Kaiser was an -lous
to keep I'arkcr's appointment secret, and
It Is possible that he will refuse totethlmgo

If the arrangement is carried out, Capt, l'ar

Hogarth In command. Tho latter will have a

An official otthe I'eniuylvanialtallioadCom
pan said yesterday that, after seernl years'
consideration, n conclusion has practically
been reached ns to tho creation of a pension
and superannuation fund for the benefit of the
employees ot the company. It is understood
that TU years of age has been fixed upon as th
ago for compulsory retirement, and thatem
plojeca who hae been in the sotUee thirty
ears, lint ae nof attained that age, will bo
entitled to the benefits ot the fund upon report
of the committee which will haie the adminis
tration ot the fund.
Tho pension allowanco will be bated upon
length of service and the average wages re
ceived by the employee during such service
It Is estimated that it will requlro a payment
by the eompmyof about S.'IOu.OOO a year to
mako the fund effective. The preliminary ar
rangements are now being made so that nt
the meeting In tho fall deflnlto action may be
taken by the board and the fund put In opera
tion This fund will not interfere at all with the
employees' relief fund, but will work In en
tlro harmony therewith, and tho regulations
governing the fund will be finally shaped
through conferences between the executive of
ficers ot tho comiany, the general manager,
the comptroller and tho Advisory Committee
of the relief department.

Lizzie Cnssldy, the 10-montlii-ol J daughter
of Thomns Cnssldy, a laboret, of 100 )ork
street. Brooklyn, disappeared from her home
on July 7. having apparently been stolen. She
wis restated to her parents yestorday after
noon in good condition. 'I hero wns something
so tmeor about the "dlscoveiy" of tho child
that tho police, who had practically dropped
theense, will iiowiesume their investigations,
Thoy think that possibly if the) can find out
who was resiHinslblo for tho return of the
httby they will be nble to guess who stole it,
Mrs. Annie (Irny ot ISO Willoughby stteet,
Drookl) n, Is 1 hoinas Cassldy's sister.
"A well-dressed woman came to ray house
at noon to-da," Mrs. (Ira) said Inst night,
"nnd told me wheto little l,l7io was. The
woman said that sho had been to tho (lorry
society rooms In Manhattan looking for some
babies and saw ours. Sho know It was ours,
shosald, because It tallied with all thcdesciip
tlons which sho had read. Then trom the
Oorry rooms she came over to Brooklyn, but
dldu't think then to go and tell Mrs. Castldy.
Instead sho went to call on some friends on
Willoughby street who happened to live near
me. There she happened to mention what she
had found, and the fi lends told her thnt tho
child's nuut lived nearby. That was my.solf.
She camu right over here and told mo nil
about It. Sho didn't tell me hornnmo and address-,
and wouldn't say who tlio Willoughby
street neighbors woro who had told herabout
me. The woman was well dressed and nbout
ll) years old. I didn't stop than to ask her
much about herself, but hurried right over to
New York to get tlio babv I didn't tell Mrs.
Cnssldy first, for I dldn't'waut to run the risk
of disappointing her with another false report.
But It wasn't false. It was our baby sure
enough, nnd I clalraod it. The Oerry peo
ple wouldn't let me have it. but said
that It must bn Identified by the mother.
Then I hurried home to get my sister-in-law.
We must have pissed each othui, I found
that another person- a man had been to give
her the same Information, and that sho had
gono to New York."
Mrs. Casldy said to the reporter:
"About noln n short, stout man with a red
dish mustache came to my house and told mo
that ho was a Kerry society agent Ho said
that my baby was In Ids society's rooms
over in New nrk nnd that I h id better hurry
over and get it. us it was going tabs put In a
homo soon. The man didn't tell me what
bis name was, hut rushed right off again.
I hurried over to tho Oerry society, and there
got in) baby I couldn't learn much about how
they got It Thev told me that thebnb) was
found about twelve da)s ago at Ninth avenue
und Nineteenth street, Manhattan, under u
high stoop, with n little bo) about II ve.irt old.
The boy told the policeman who found thum
that I.l77le wis Ids sister and that they had
both been sent aw.i) Horn home 'I he little,
boy lied The policeman took them both to
the Oerrv soc.etv, where thoy were put down
on the hooks as ' unknown children '
"We have no idea where the baby was dur
ing the first twelve days that It was away fiom
home before the policeman found it But
wherever she wns she was well cared tor
W lien she disappeared slie wore black shoes.
When she was found under the stoop in Ninth
avenue she hnd on a new pnirof tan shoes.
Her clothing was all dlftcrent. too, and of good
quality She was In good physical condition
when the pulli cmnn found her. ton, and she Is

At the Cassiiyboine In oik street lastnight
thero was mingled rejoi"ing and Indlgnntlon.
The neighbors and rolatlves who went thero
with a keg of ber nt their own expense to
celebrate I,l7le's return furnished the joyand

"What we want to know." said Thomaa
Cassidy the father, "is why wo didn't hear of
this before-' W hv was the baby kept by the
(ierry society twelve divs. Inbelled 'unknown.'
without our being notified' The child is nn

with thin, dark hair. There Is a scar on its

I At the looms of the (mi i) society last night

"Our hooks nre all locked up. he said,
"and without tin bonks I cannot say whether

lirraiurntrtiitti has been extremely vitupera
tive and has vlclouslyattncked the charaeterof
public nnd private citizens. At the samottmo
It boasted of the acts of some of Its editors,
who are notorious duellists, and who bullied
nlmott ov cry body
Yesterday tho climax was renchod when tho
paper pi luted a v Iclous attack on Chief of l'ollco
Cardenas, following a bitter assault on Capt.
PItohor. tho police magistrate It also pub
lished a letter signed by ex-Pollen Inspector
Hernandez, in which the writor boasted that
ho had spat in tho face of Oen Cardenas in
Central Park last 8undny
Hernandez; wns arrested last night, nnd to
day Oen I.udlow. with whom patlenco had
ceased tn bo a virtue. Issued an order for tho
stipptesslon of tho paper and the nrrost of all
Its editois. Ho denounced the sheet as having
dallv uttered by assertion and Innuendo vllu
pcisnualltiesand obscenities against the estab
lished authorities and tlio best peoplo of
Havana, and declared that the continuance of
Its publication would be a disgrace to the city .
The police were Instructed to take possession
of the office and to arrest every ono connected
with the paper lilcardo Arnauto and Augustlu
Cervantos, editor and assistant editor respec
tively, learned oft he order and went Into hiding.
Subsequently they sent nn attorney to Uen.
I.udlow to plead for them Oen I.udlow In
formed tho lawyer that he wns going to send
the editors to hard labor in Atarcs Castle as
soon as ho could catch them The attornoy
begged him to gly tho men another chnnco
nnd Oen I.udlow finally contented if they
would promise to publish n decent nowspaper.
vllllfv no one and lead ntderly llvos. paper
to this effect was drawn up at 12 o clock und
tbo attorney took It to his clients, who woro
then In Mayor I.acnsto's office, for them toslgn.
Chief Detectlvo Iiaealao met the party nt the
dooi ot the office and tried toarrest tho editors.
Tbo attorney protested Indignantly, and the
discussion drew n large crowd and caused
much excitement Bacalao flnnlly consented
to go to Oen. Ludlow's ofTlee. whero tho latter
admitted the agreement thnt hud been made
with the attorney. Major l.acosto also ap
peared and objected to the agreement Then
Oen. Ludlow said thnt he would defer to tho
civil authority, as the matter belonged there.
Then another row ensued, hut Honor l.acosto
finally consented to allow the men to sign the
paper. They will theroforo etenpe punish,
ment during good behavior.
Tho administration of Oen Cardenns has
been bad, and tha Police Depaitment Is thor
oughly disorganized The Americans liavo not
interfered much with it, nnd the result is proof
of the Innblllty of tho officials to get along
without fighting. I.dueated Cubans see nnd
ful tills, and nro beginning lo nondur what
might happen should the Americans leave.
Many men who a short timo ago were separat
ists now believe that theonl) hope for the isl
uud for man) yeirs Is somo sort ot American
Piotectorate. A Cuban who Is In close touch
with tho lenders here, nnd whose name Is with
held foi political reasons, said to-day "Tlio
Cubans for generations liavo Deen accustomed
to liate tho Oovernment They aio impulsive
nnd nervous, and will bo the same to-morrow
ns thev are to-day Should the Americans
leave, there would bo a bigger exodus of
wealthy Cubans than occurred when tlio ter
rorism ot We) lei (ommeneed,"
Still tlio National party goes on with its or
ganization Its announced Intention Is to
secure tho Independence ot the Island. Mnuy
conservative men nre at tho head ot such
nftalrs as tho ncgio demonstration lu favor nt
(itinlberto Oomo a few (la)s ago. but tho row
over Cardenas Is making them more conserva
tive. A commltteo of the party called on Oen.
llrooko to-day and offered the party's assist
ance in carrying out tho Government's, policy,
which they believe to be the establishment of
independence. Tills action certainly shows an
Improvement over tho conditions which pre
