LIKE A WOMAN
Becker Insists on Dressing--He
was a Priest in The Did Country.
New York, June 13. —Justice
Denel was boiling mad to-day
when Christian Becker, alias “Ame
lia,” was before him for wearing
woman’s clothes.
Hecker 1 who dresses in woman’s
attire, has spent the most of his
tune during the last three years on
the island. He was released yester
day, and, still in his female attire,
wandered back to his bld haunts.
Justice Denel took a good look at
him, and committed him again for
six months. It was learned that
Becker wore under his female garb
a p iir of trou-ers, a dress shirt and
coat and vest, thus enabling him
-to make a lightening-change when
ever he secured a position as a
waiter, the occupation at which he
works when out of prison.
Becker was born in Leipsic, Ger
many, 35 years ago, ajid was edu
cated for a priest. He joined an or
der of monks and became an ex
pert as a wine bottle and maker of
rare cordials. He left the monas
tery a few years later, under cir
cumstances which he refuses ‘o ex
plain on the ground that it would
degrade him, and come to this
Country in 1882. He then wore the
ga. bof a priest, and applied to a
numberof Catholic inistutions and
clergymen in this .city, without
avail.
Putting aside his priestly garb he
secured employment as a waiter,
and says that he has worked in
many of the leading hotels and
restaurants in this city.
A $50,000 BURGLARY
The Robbers Knew the Combi

Lovell, Me., June 13.—The conn
try grocery store of James E
Hutchins, a retired cattle trader,
was robbed Friday night of a small
tin box containing cash, stocks
and bonds amounting to $50,000.
Only S2OO of it was cash.
Mr. Hutchins kept the matter
<piiet until today in the hope of
getting some trace of the stocks or
bonds.
The safe in which they had been
deposited hail been unlocked by
the combination. The burglars al
so had a key to the store, and after
securing the booty they locked the
store door.
Married After Sixty Tears.
Bristol, Conn., June 13 —Joseph
Gridley, deacon of the congrega
tional Church, and Mrs. Mary E.
Gripley, of Bristol, were married
in Southington yesterday.

of age and the bride is seventy-sev
en. Sixty years ago they were lov
ers, but thev became estranged and
married others. The young woman
became Mrs. Henry Gridley. Three
years ago Henry Gridley died. He
left to his widow his entire estate
and she thus became the wealthi
est woman in the town, her prop
erty including the Gridley block,
the largest busin -ss building. She
had lived with her husband 52
During the past month she and
Deacon Joseph Gridley were thrown
