that her claims must perforce be recog-
nized. Ordinarily, they should be. If
that city had tithe of the liberality and
public spirit her wealth and position
ought to make certain there would be no
thought of contest. Butthe metropolitan
city of the country is as penurious as she
is pretentious, and it by no means fol-
lows that her business men will come
up to the requirements of the occasion.
Gotham generally contents herself with
sneering at other cities, and rarely does
anything in keeping with her unques,

THE Tribune instances that Oakland
proposes to expend 1929, ,063 for sewers as
an argument in favor of Los Angeles
expending much larger sum. Oakland
is situated on level fat, and drainage is
very difficult problem in that city.
There has been much sickness there on
account of the imperfect drainage, and
the people are compelled to 60 to great
expense in order to get rid of their sew
age. Los Angeles is very differently
situated. 1t has no dead levels, and can
be easily and cheaply drained anywhere.

The average yield of water gas from

morphine to deceive NJ. Damala him
self. For the time he was saved, but
when Sara Bernhardt left her house
in the Boulevard Pereire for re-
hearSal at the theater she was care
full TO remove money and everything
that might aid her husband in obtaining
the poison, and dressing gown was
the only article of clothing she left
near him. Alone, he brooded over his
troubles, and one morning he rushed
out of the house, protected only by the
dressing gown, intending to obtain NOR
phine from a chemist in the quarter,
and proving himself strong enough to
knock down the bewildered domesticS
wildly running after him.
After this NJ. Damala consented to be
placed in an asylum, but three days
after he escaped, and from that time
until his death there was no way of con-
trolling his love for morphine. He I'M
agined prosecutions of all kinds. and
ran around the garden firing pistol
shots in all directions. But one day,
after injecting all enormous quantity OF
morphine, he imagined that he saw
heaven opening and angels descending
in this way his spirit took flight.
1t is said that during the two days
NJ. Damala's face preserved all ecstatic
expression, an expression that might
have been called happy were it not for
the bottles of morphine and cocaine and
the twenty-three PravaZ syringeS found
after their victims death.
Will this sad ending of what might
have been a brilliant career have ben
efcial effect on the countless numbers
of French men and women who are so
fast following in NJ. Damala's footsteps?
Ask the chemists who continue to sell
the poison, and the physicians who will
prescribe a remedy that kills for pain
that is but transient.

with the rest of the HohenZollern col
lection of carriers in the museum at Ber
lin and the rest will be distributed
among the mobiles who attend the Greek
prince, her husband.
This is a rule of very ancient custom
that survives nowhere now save in the
reigning family of German. In franker
and ruder ages it used to be the priv-
lege of the best man, when the bride was
about to retire with her attendant maid
ems, to unfaSten her garter and keep 1t
as trophy. There was always some
what of dispute about it. custom re-
curing that the groom should resist the
attempt and that the best man should
insist upon his privilege. With the
growth of more refined manners the
custom naturally fell into disuse and the
only relic of it is in the comic opera of
al Joie Parfumeuse" and in the mar
riage customs of the German royal
family.
The form it takes with them, however,
is that the princess should have prepared
thirteen pairs of carriers, all of them hav
ing buckles with her initials set in dia-
mOnds, and of these she wears one pair
herself, bestowS one pair on the reign
ing sovereign and distributes the others
among her husbands attendants, the
eleven of the highest rank getting this
bridal favor.
There is very curious collection of
these royal carriers in the Berlin mu-
scum, some fifty or sixty in all, many of
them extremely rich and handsome, and
some very queer ones from the past
generations of princesses. Some of
those deposited In the reignS of Freder-
lex William Ill. and ". are marvelS of

THE TENNIS CHAMPION.
Winning the HonOrs in the Ninth
NeWpOrt Tournament.

For nine seasons tennis experts have
met at Newport and battled for cham
pionship honors, says F. A. Kellogg in
Harper'S Young People. Each year
from thirty to forty men compete. but
only two have been able to secure the
proud title OF champion. r. d. Sears
was the first, and held that honor from
1881 to 1888, relinquishing it then by de-
fault, not by defeat, to II. w. SlOcum
Jr. THIS year Mr.. Siocum again re-
turns from Newport not only with his
title intact, but also with his reputation
as player greatly enhanced.
Quincy a. Shaw, who won the all
Corners contest at Newport, was then
compelled to play with Henry w. Slo-
cum for the. last years champion, for
the final prize. His victories in the
tournament were by no means easy
ones. c. G. Chase, the Western cham
pion. was, like Taylor, one of the favor

defeated r. ID. Sears in collegiate tour
nament. But both he and Chase yielded
to the swift and accurate strokes of
Shaw. The final match between Camp
bell and Shaw was a remarkable con-
test, and the most indifferent admirer of
tennis needs but to witness one match
like this to become an enthusiast. Their
styles of play are widely different.
Campbell Volleys at the. net; Shaw
drives the ball with greater accuracy.
BY defeating Campbell, Shaw became
the winner of the All-COmers' prize,
but in Slocum, whom he played for the
championship, he found his superior.
Sears and Slocum are the only two
men who have held the title of the
champion during the nine years of our
lawn tennis history. 1t may be of in
terest to note that in none of the great
Newport contests has the championship
been played for and lost, for it was at
