Cuyler. ARRESTED ON A TRAIN Mr. Merriman Was Traveling in Mrs. Temple's Company. Latter's Husband Caused the Arrest, Got His Wife Back Her Friend in Durance.

(Special to the Eagle.) Locust Valley. L. March 13 The most surprised couple In Nassau County, last night, were David Merriam, 28 years old. and Mrs. Mollle Temple, both of Bayvllle.

Their surprise came about In this way: They had rowed across Bayvllle Creek to Mill Neck Station, where they boarded a train for New York. Mrs. Temple, It Is said, did not bother to say good-by to her husband, John Temple, nor did Merriman take any farewell leave of a young woman who claims to be entitled to bear hlB name. Mr. Temple told an Eagle reporter he was not altogether surprised when he found his wife had gone away, and that their three children were temporarily minus a mother.

He decided to go after nis missing spouse, and took Deputy Sheriff Frank Davis along 'for company. Husband and officer took the same train that Merriman and Mrs. Temple had boarded, and. after Locust Valley had been passed, confronted Merriman and hiB companion. At Glen Cove the travelers all left the train and proceeded to the court room, where Merriman was arraigned before Justice Cocks.

He was held on a charge of violating section 675 of the penal code and aieo on one of abandonment. He was locked UD Dendine a henrlni nn Monday. Mrs. Temple went back home with her husband. Hie young woman at Bavville who claims to be Merriman wife has an in- rant weeks old, of which she says he the father.

Merriman must rlead to two charges when arraigned. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION. second Judicial Department. Michael H.

NOT A NAME ON TICKET. (Special to the Eagle.) Farmingdale, L. March 13 When the voters of this municipality go to the polls on Tuesday to exercise the right of fran chise they will be given a ticket on which there will appear not a solitary name. They must write the names of the men for whom thoy wish to vote in the blanft column on the ballot. Three tickets have been agreed upon by the leaders, so there is no lack of candidates, but not a ticket has been filed with the village clerk, so none can be printed on the ballot.

It will be an unusual election, but one not wholly devoid of excitement and Interest. It requires more political wisdom than a mere outsider, such as the writer of this paragraph, possesses to tell who will be victorious at the polls on Tuesday, but it is certain that in no other Long Island municipality does such an unusual state of affairs exist as in the village of Farm-ingdule.

LefFa Subpena in "Fads and Fancies" Suit. (Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. March 13 Six hundred and five people filed slowly past Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, at the town hall last night, and to everyone Mr. RooBevelt accorded a hearty handshake and a word of greeting. Mrs.

Roosevelt shook hands with more than half of the num ber, which with special guests, brought the total attendance up to about 700. The one untoward feature of the affair was the serving, on the ex-President, of a subpena in a damage suit growing out of the publication of the book known as "Fads and Fancies," some years ago. The process server, posing as a Manhattan reporter, got Into the hall and succeeded in handing the paper to Mr. Roosevelt. He glanced at It, saw It was a subpena and dropped It to the floor.

When It was learned what the man had done he was asked to leave the hall. As soon as It became known that Mr. Roosevelt would consent to receive his neighbors and friends, and bid them farewell Individually, many people thought there should be a big and formal demonstration. But those having the arrangements in charge respected the wishes of the guest of the evening and made the affair as simple as possible. Even after Mr.

and Mrs. Roo3evelt arrived, which was about 8:15, a change was made In the arrangements so that the big crowd waiting outside could be handled without trouble. The assembled guests gathered behind the desk In the Justice's room, while Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt stood in front of the desk, and Just inside the rail.

The visitors entered at tha door at the east end of the room and filed slowly by Mr. Roosevelt, shaking hands as they passed, and Immediately going out through the door at the west. In this way all confusion was prevented and the handshaking was concluded within about halt an hour. Several people were detained a moment by Mr. Roosevelt for special greeting.

One woman, whom it was learned was formerly a member of the Roosevelt household at Sagamore Hill, was given a specially cordial greeting. A man with two small boys evidently twins, was Bignaled out for few remarks In regard to the children. All the little ones in the procession, and there were many, received special attention from the President, both those who were able to walk and those In arms. Most of the people in line were residents of Oyster Bay, but there was a big party from Glen Cove and a few from Locust Valley and Sea Cliff. The most noticeable ones In the company, perhaps, were two aged men.

one 84 and one 82 years of age, who bad come from Staten Island purposely to Bbake bands with Mr. Roosevelt. They are retired sea captains, and they told how they had planned to go to Washington, but one of their wives had counseled against it. She succeeded la heading them off, but when they learned that they could shake hands with the ex-PreBident by coming to Oyster Bay, persuasion failed. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.

Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt were unaccompanied by any member of their family. They drove over from Sagamore Hill, Mr. Roosevelt wearing a big sable coat, and Mrs.

Roosevelt a long gray cloth coat lined with white fur. She wore a big picture hat, and a black satin gown, made in the prevailing style, and trlav med with steel embroidery. She is looking very well, and she talked for som time to different people, her longeM conversation being with Mrs. JamU Earle, whom she greeted very cordially. The arrangements for the reception were very simple.

Those who were responsible for them gathered at the Town Hall about 8 clock, and awaited the coming of the guests of the evening. These included the Rev. Alexander G. Russell of the Presbyterian Church and Mrs. Russell, the Rev.

H. H. Washburn, rector of Christ Church; the Rev. C. S.

Wightman of the Baptist Church, the Rev. Warren I. Bowman of the Metho dist Church, the Rev. Father Powers of St. Dominic's Church, the Rev.

James T. Gaskell of the A. M. E. Church.

Supervisor C. Chester Painter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ellison, Mr. andMrs.

James Earle, Town Clerk Frank McQueen, Mr. and Mrs. James T. Kelley, Mr. and Mrs.

David RogerB. Congressman William W. Cocks, Clarence Hepburn, Mr. Ludlum, Mrs. A.

Burnslde Cheshire and son. Jus tice Walter B. Franklin and many others. The big gathering brought out the sou venir men. and dark blue flags with pictures, of Mr.

Roosevelt and buttonhole Teddy Bears with buttons attached were very much in evidence. Tho crowd which waited outside for fully an hour was very orderly, and beyond the fact that the small boys passed the time away by building a bonfire, there was no outside demonstration. Mr. Roosevelt talked with Congressman Cocks for five or ten minutes after he had finished shaking hands. In answer to several questions Mr.

Roosevelt said he expected to leave home in about ten days for his trip It was stated last night that the publishing ol the reports concerning the dangers which the ex-President Is likely to encounter have alarmed Mrs. Roosevelt considerably, and that she would be very mui relieved in mind if Mr. Roosevelt would abandon the trip, which, however, he Is not likely to do. The Deonle of Oystr Bay nave, ap parently, never been more deflghted to meet their distinguished neighbor than they were last night, and the whole affair showed the deep hold he has on the hearts of his fellow townsmen.

The man is believed to have committed suicide, as a rusher tube attached to an open gas Jet was found his mouth. Pettit had been in ill health for some time. of Nickel and Dime Business on Fulton Street Invaded by a Rival.

POLICE OUT TO KEEP ORDER. Placard Painters and Window Dress ers Goad Things Along When There's Sign of a Lull. The bargain-hunting women of Brook lyn showed what stuff they were made of tnis morning, when a heavy downpour of rain did not dampen tbelr enthusiasm In the least. They surged and swayed and blocked the trolley tracks at a cer tain point on Fulton street, where a new and 10 cent store was opened up at 8 clock this morning. Two dozen policemen struggled vainly to keep the mob in order, but the women had their eyes fastened on the windows, where agateware utensils, umbrellas, fancy vests, pillow shams and other necessities and luxuries were temptingly displayed, and they would not budge.

When the doors were opened the women brushed the cops aside and rushed pell-mell into the big establishment, and the battle for bargains began. Hysterics were In the air and tears were shed by the pailful by women who, after fighting their way up to the counter, were informed that the sale of a certain line of dishpans or flower pots was over and that they would have to wait for an hour or so, or else select something else. Many women were so affected that they found themselves buy ing shirts Instead of saucepans and gum-drops instead of gridirons. One woman was overheard telling a friend, referring to a bundle she carried: "Oh, Manic, I got seven of the very latest songs for a dime. You know I'm saving up for a piano, and 1 suppose by the time I get it the songs will be stale, tut they were so cheap I lust couldn't help buying them.

I had to use three of the songs to wrap up these frying pans, and I know Sam will be wild when I go home, but bargains Is bargains, and we have to take advantage of them when they come along. I had to leave the house before he was up this morning and he had to get his own breakfast, but then he oughtn't to kick, because I'm saving his money for the piano and he's Just crazy about music." The real cause of the near-riot Is that almost next door to the new 5 and 10 cent emporium there is an older store of the same kind, the owners of which control over two hundred stores in the principal cities. The new people have adopted the same style signs and general system of the old firm. This iseemed to have a nettling effect. When the windows of the new store were dressed yesterdav morning big agate dishpans were displayed with the 10-cent sign on them, and the old Arm Immediate ly put on view similar articles for 6 cents.

It was the same way with laun dered shirts, umbrellae, band-satchels. bureau scarfs, shirtwaists, boys pants, framed pictures and other things. The fun began yesterday afternoon, when the new establishment was thrown open for Inspection. The salesgirls, cash registers and goods were In their places, but nothing was Bold. Women mobbed each other and their nngers ltcnea as they handled the various objects, and were told that the things could not be purchased until this morning.

"I know what i goin to do," saia a stout colored woman. "I got a job o' cleanln' out in Flatbuh to-morrow maw-nin." but you bet I'm goin" to let It slide an1 come yar an' buy a couple o' dem pink shirts for my old man I'm goin' to have him dressed up for once in his life, an' everybody In Navy street will turn from black to green when dey see him. I'm a-eoin' to have one o' dem yaller parasols an' a green hand-satchel for maself. too. even ft dat woman nouse in riaiDutsu is got to go dirty for a month." The old store took time by tho forelock late yesterday afternoon by Btartlng the bargain sales and raking in the cash that the people were not allowed to spend next door.

Three hundred women and a few men surrounded a counter upon which a young man was standing, handing out shirts at a nickel each. He would glance at the shirt, call out the size and half of the hands in the mob would be stretched out to grab the garment. Lsualiy three or four women got hold of each shirt, and then 1. was the battle of tne strong against the weak, with the usual result. There -was no time nor opportunity to wrap things up, but the happy bargain seekers did not seem to mind, for they carried dishpans, snirts, griaaies ana rnalhnds unwraDDed.

with as much pride as the winner of a Marathon carries his trophy from the judges stand. The scene In both stores this morning beggared description. The news of the bargain battle had spread like wildfire, and the crowd was eager and anxious. There were many Italian women carrying babies, with toddlers tugging at their Bkirts, and a good many women of other nationalities, who looked as If they should have known better, trying to grab a lardinlere with one hand while they struggled to protect the infant with the other arm. One woman who was evidently an old hand at the bargain fighting game had brought along a quantity of rope with which she tied her purchases to her body.

She had accumulated a large tin umbrella stand, decorated with a very red Doony; a big crockery jardiniere, a dishpan. a garbage pail, two umbrellas, a lot of artificial flowers, several shirts of assorted' colors and a bunch of false hair, and when last seen was ploughing a path to a counter where fire shovels were being "given away" at two for 5 cents. The sign writers of both stores had to use both hands in keeping up with the demands of the managers. When some especially attractive bargain was put Into one of the windows witn a sign reaa-inir "one to a customer," the rival es tablishment would immediately retaliate with a display bearing the slogan "One or a million." Ab the bedraggled women emerged from the stores, half fainting but triumphant, with the spoils of war in their hands, many of them were heard to say, "Never again!" But the pastime was so attractive that the majority went back to renew the struggle. The parade of uncovered utensils attracted universal attention.

The women who had secured bargains lost no time in telling passers-by of their good luck, or rather good generalship, and the result was that the mob increased as the morn- ing hours went by.

Citizens Helped Policeman Chase "Brown" One Fast Runner Was Almost Shot. An imprudent young mulatto, Henry Brown by name, snatched a handbag from Miss May Furey of 86 Clark street as she was passing the bouse at 34 Monroe place at about 11:30 o'clock last night. Miss Furey and Miss Claire Suf-fa of 89 Clark street, were on their way home and the mulatto had been following them In the shadows of the nearby buildings for quite a while. The handbag that Miss Furey carried was most tempting, as It was seen in the occasional street lights that Miss Furey, and her companion pasBed, for It was of alligator skin, a russet brown, and the flap was of the favorite part of the alligator hide. In the bag were two purseB, containing between them just 34 cents, for Miss Furey had cautiously, a few minutes before, taken over $100 from the purse end placed It in her waist Detective John J.

Reynolds of the headquarters squad saw the whole transaction. He had been out on the Heights on a night trip, with Detective Gallagher, looking for suspects, for there had been complaints to local headquarters that there were hold-up men about. Gal lagher had just left Reynolds to follow another suspect when Brown came along and began to stalk Miss Furey. Rey nolds kept his eye on the man as well as he could and he saw Brown force his way between the two young women, sud denly wrest the bag from her grasp and run away with it. Miss Furey natural ly shrieked and so did her companion, Miss Suffa.

Two young men were about and saw part of what had happened. They were C. F. Neerguard, living In tho neighborhood, who has a place of busi ness at 350 Fulton street, and R- c- Beal. also living nearby.

When Brown started to run Neerguard ran after him. He was ahead of the detective and when the fugitive darted Into Clark street, Neerguard was almost at his heels, plucklly sticking there and not a- bit afraid of the consequences The chase continued almost to Fulton street and once Mr. Neerguard had a fright, when Detective Reynolds flred a shot at the thief from his revolver. The bullet whistled past Mr. Neerguard, who stuck to the job, nevertheless.

The shot scared the runaway and he came to a standstill and was captured without further effort. In the course of his flight he had thrown away the handbag tvhlch was found, with the wrist-strap torn as It had been jerked from Miss Furey's hand, on the sidewalk. Brown gave his age as 18 and his ad dress as at Chambers and Duane streets Manhattan. He frankly admitted his guilt and he was locked up over night in the Adams street station. This morning he was taken before Magistrate Tlgbe sit ing In the Adams street court and plead- guilty to the charge of highway rob bery in the night time.

Do you realise what you are doing? asked Magistrate you know that you are liable to go to prison for twenty years for this?" The young man nodded in the affirma tive. Have any Inducements been held out to you to plead guilty?" again questioned the magistrate. "No," replied the prisoner, who was thereupon held for the action of the Grand Jury. The police do not believe that Brown Is the lad's name. He had in his pocket a letter written, evidently to a young woman and ready for the mail in which he gave the person to receive the missive some highly moral advice on the subject of love and of loyalty to marriage vows.

And he also said to her that was sorry that there was In some minds a moral bar to the Intermarriage of first cousins. The detectives expect to find out something about "Brown." The chase and snooting disturbed a very quiet neighborhood and windows on Monroe place and Clark street were thrown open and heads were poked out curiously, to find out what it was all about. And many bedrooms were made shockingly drafty thereby for the remainder of the night. MUNICIPAL REGISTER. Answers to Correspondents.

She was a thorough student, and constantly supplemented her work as a teacher by study and travel.

She exercised a great Influence over her pupils, giving them inspiration and courage for their work. All the men and women trained under her went to their teaching witn wnat nas been known all over the country as "the Pratt spirit." They were enthusiastic, appreciative, eager to work, adaptable, faithful to their ideals. Inter ested In their pupils and loyal to the people for whom they worked. Much of the success of the normal art graduates ot Pratt Institute has been due to the spirit in which they had worked, and this spirit was due largely to Miss Shattuck's personal influence. Sho never lost her understanding and sympathetic touch with youth.

The many teachers whom she prepared will feel deeply the loss of a good friend, upon whose Interest and excellent judgment they could always depend. She will be greatly missed at the Institute, where her wholesome, sane and cheerful viewpoint has been highly valued. Funeral services will be held at oh Tuesday morning next, and a memorial servjee will be held at Pratt Institute Tuesday morning at 10 ciock. ine department of fine and applied arts will be closed on Tuesday, out of respect to Miss Shattuck's memory.
