city. But Judge Daniols put q sud-
den stop to all this pleasantly for
behold You, he pulled Sheriff Bren.
nan-hc adjudgcd him guilty of con.
tempt of court in permitting his pris-
oner to escape, and he fined bin
$3.50, and, in addition, sent him to
Jail for thirty days, this being all the
penalty he could put upon HIM.
And more, Mr.. Sheriff Brennan was
notified that the moment he had serv-
ed his time out, he would be subject
ed to a criminal prosecution for con-
niving at Genet's escape, which opens
the cheerful prospect of Sing Sing to
him.
Then the jocularity attendant upon
this escape ceased The thieves did
not wag their heads and wink their
ewes at Mr.. Brennan In Jail for. al
lowing prisoner to escape! Prepos-
terous! Why the thing had been
done a thousand times. But Judge
Daniels was infexible, and SO the
doors of Ludlow stree. jail closed up
on the Sheriff, and the ring is quak-
ing in its boots.
The man who has done most OF
the work in breaking down this
malign influence is man almsst un-
unknown outside the city,
Mr.. II. c. ALLEN,
the District Attorney. Allen Is a
magnificent lawyer, who, when he
knows thing, knows that hc knows
it. He is man not only OF much
legal learning, but he has the legal
mind and a plucky pugnacious spirit
that delights in encounters in which
hard blows are given and taken.
Consequently, Mr. John Graham,
who has brow-beaten every lawyer
at the New York bar, and who had
contrived to make them all afraid of
him, was astonished to find in Dis
trict-Attorney Allen q man who
could neither be beaten at the game
of law, or frightened out Of any po-
sition he might assume. Then they
tried money on him, but they found
to their greater astonishment an hon
est official, who, in such matter,
had no regard whatever for money.
Mr.. Allen, in short, gave the
thieves to understand that be was
after them, and that he should stay
after them till be had every one of
them in the penitentiarv. He drew
the indictment against Tweed so
carefully that a mosquito could not
get through its meshes, he challeng-
ed jurors day after day till he had Sc
cured an honest one, then he locked
horns with John Graham, and never
let up till he had John Graham's eli
ant safe on Blackwell's Island in q
striped suit. 1t was be who put In
gersoil to the same end, and Genet
likewise, and he is hunting the 9TH
ers with equal pertinacity.
Mr.. Allen is a man of perhaps for
ty, with an honest pleasant face, that
reminds one of good-natured bull
dog. He is a universal fayorite in
all social circles. lie IS possessed of
keen wit, wonderful powers of an
alysis, and what he does not know
of law is not worth knowing. He is
almost blind. His eyes are so de-
fctive that to read the coarsest print
he is compelled to hold the page
within an inch of his eyes. Imagine
the logged perseverance that has
made a great lawyer ola man with
such eyes

THAT was q startling and mortify-
ing exhibition of the blind leading
the blind, made by the late message
of Governor Hartranft, by which it
appears that of the 1908 persons
who last year received certificates to
teach in the Common Schools of this
State, "only 314 We're found to have
thorough knowledge of reading,
writing, arithmetic and grammar"
And vet, under the direction Of the
School Department of the State, there
was expended during the past year,
on our common schools, the enormous
sum Of $s,sl2, ,969 25.
This amount of money paid TO
$1,000 teachers, of whom only 3T4
had thorough knowledge of the ru-
diments Of education, coHclusiyely
proves a radical defect existing in
the system Of licensing by certificates
the teachers Of our common schools.
How the evil is to be remedied we do
not undertake to say, but the fact
must be patent to everyone, that this
mortifying state Of affairs must be
changed 1t is a self evident fact
that teachers must thoroughly under
stand subject or matter, before they
can impart TO others an intelligent
knowledge Of it, and iust here We
apprehend lies the root Of the evil.

THE President has withdrawn the
name of Caleb Cushing, whom he
had nominated to the Senate for
Chief Justice. Pending his nomina-
. ton before the Senate, it was clearly
shown that when the rebellion broke
out his sympathies were with the
South, and that like many Democrats
of that day, he not only thought and
expressed the belief that the rebel
lion would be successful, but that the
Union was dissolved. A letter of his
was discovered among the rebel
archives written in 1861, recon-
mending a friend 10 JEFF Davis for
appointment under the rebel govern
ment, in which he glibly spoke about
"the late United States, F" thus show
ing that he believed the Union then
dissolved. Fortunately these dis
coveries were made before his nomi-
nation was confirmed, and when made
aware of the facts, the President
promptly withdrew bis appointment.

SENATE.

There was some discussion on the
amendment to the first section. The
result of the debate was the rejection
of the amendments by party vote OF
8 to l6.
Mr. White then offered Il bill from
the Committee appointed by the Re-
publican Caucus to arrange com
promise measure. This bill, which
was offered as a substitute for that OF
Mr. McClure, embraced the main
feature Of the election law of 1869.
with notifications to meet the re-
quircmcnts of the new Constitution.
These notifications related principal
ly to the manner of conducting the
elections in Philadelphia.
There was a warm debate on this
substitute, chiefly participated in by
Messrs. Mcclure, White, Rutan and
others. The first gentleman con-
tended that the bill gave the elections
even to repeaters, and would cncour-
age corruption 'nstead Of checking it.

Trichina Spiralis.
Tcincinnati Letter to Chicago Tribune.l

tCincinnati Letter to Chicago Tribune.l
Two of the victims of trichinosis at
Aurora, Ind, have died from the effects
of the poisoning, and the bodies have
undergone post-mortem examination.
The victims are Henry, second son OF
Mrs. Threnart, the German lady In
whose family the infected pork was first
eaten, and Mrs. Benter, the wife of the
German Methodist minister, who came
to nurse the smitten family. frof.
Sutton conducted the post-mortem ex-
animation, and submitted portions of
the flesh of both the victims to a
thorough scientific examination. He
says that after an attack of trichinosis
the posion still remains in the flesh fer
years, ready to develop disease when
this flesh is eaten or taken into the
stomach, but after hogs recover from
hog-cholera they are fattened and sold
to our butchers, and the meat becomes
one of the principal articles of food In
the West, under the form of bacon,
sugar-cured hams, etc. He concludes,
therefore, that, If the trichina is cause
of the hog-cholera, which is now pre-
yailing to great extent in some parts
of Kentucky, there are none of the
usual signs accompanying it. None of
the carcasses of cholera hogs show any
signs of the trichin@, while those of
which the human victims partook as
food exhibit as many as $4,000 to the
cubic inch of flesh. The microscopic
examination of portionsof Mrs. Benton's
flesh and of the boy Threnart developed
the startling fact that millions of the
trichina were seen alive, coiling and
uncoiling In the tissues.
The fact has created profound SEN
sation throughout that section of
Indiana in which Aurora is situated,
and, taken in connection with the deaths
named, has completely killed the sale
of pork. Experiments made with the
infected pork show that 195 degrees
Fahrenheit will destroy the worms but
as it requires 212 degrees to boil water,
meat thoroughly boiled would be harm
less. But the question is, who would
eat meat, no matter how much it was
boiled, that was known to have been in
fected with trichina.

HERBALIsTIC REMEDIES. former
days, if a member of the household be-
came indisposed, the family head, under
instructions from the gray-haired dame,
went to the forest or the field, to gather
herbs or berries, from which were quick
ly made invigorating extracts, which ere
many days brought the patient safely
around, and saw the family gathering
once more without a missing member.
How is it now? The slightest indispo-
sition brings the "family physician, 4"
with his handsome carriage. He feels
the pulse, examines the tongue, looks
very grave, writes few lines of HERO

only to return the next day and find his
patient mercuralized sufficiently to be
really sick. A week or two OF attend
