THOSE WHO PEDDLE MUST PAY.
Strict Interpretation and Enforcement

Strict Interpretation and Enforcement of
the Peddlers' License Law.
Unlicensed peddlers, installment agents
and grocers who peddle under a pretense of
delivering orders are having rough time of
it. Within the past week several unlicensed
peddlers have been caught and fined.
The raid on installment peddlers has been
on for some time, the police lending their
assistance to Ordinance Officer McKenna in
capturing them. Heretofore installment
agents have gone about unmolested with
wagon loads. of sample goods of
all kinds, and whenever possible sold
the samples. The ordinance officer looked
up the law and decided that all such were
peddlers As they were unlicensed as
rule, he caused the arrest of a number of
them and Magistrate Succop imposed fines
The proprietors were indignant and talked
of appealing to court, but finally paid their
fines One man went to the Twenty-eighth
ward police station the other. day and
wanted to sell clock. Inspector Kelly
found he was not licensed, locked him up
and he was fined. His employers took out
an appeal. Yesterday Morris Weider and
Louis Lindermann, also installment agents
arrested by Inspector Kelly, were fined for
peddling without license.
Two East End grocers, John Wagner and
John Rim, who had wagons out peddling
produce under pretense of delivering or
ders, paid their fines yesterday. They had
intended to appeal but changed their minds
about il.
The peddlers' license law has the support
of the Retail Grocers' Association, and was
passed at their request As at present in
terpreted it applies to every person except
milk dealers, bakers and farmers. Awhole-

GRAND FALLS OF LABRADOR.
An Ingenious Way in Which Their Height

An Ingenious Way in Which Their Heigh,
Was Successfully Measured.
cat St. Johns Newfoundland, we mad
provided ourselves with several balls of
stout linen cord with which to measure the
height of the fall. if the situation should be
found suitable Fortunately, alongside the
chute just above the brink of the main cat
aract, we found floor of rock of the same
slope, and about 800 below the horizontal
Along this it was possible to 60, but with
some peril, nearly to the edge over which
the stream plunges in its final descent" :"
says c. A. Kenastar talking in the Century
about his trip in Labrador. Fastening a
heavy billet of green fr' to one end of the
cord, the weight was carried and thrown
down on the surface of the rock to the brink
of the fall, the cord being paid out from the
upper end of the slope. A knot was made
and the billet was allowed to fall over the
precipice into the chasm. Montague, hav-
ing climbed along the bank at
the edge of the canon, was holding on by
the trunk of tree, from which he could see
when the block of wood struck the water
below as the cord was paid out by me above.
The instant of contact was plainly visible
to him, and / was equally sensible of it.
The cord was now drawn up over the edge
and carefully measured with tape-line.
''The whole length paid out was 5O5 feet,
the part which measured to slope was 1S9
feet, leaving tor the height of the main fall
below the chute 316 feet. Allowing for
few degrees deviation from the perpendicu-
lar, and for a slight stretching Of the cord,
though this last was probably counteracted
by wetting, the height of the fall may be
considered something more than 300 feet.
The vertical height Of the chute, about 80
feet, added to the other measurement, makes
the descent from the head of the chute to
the surface of the water in the chasm, about
348 feet"

HYPNOTISM A DANGER.
Theosophist Judge Think 1t Portends al
Alarming Increase of Insanity.

Alarming Increase of Insanity.
New York Herald.T
The New York Theosophists, who meet
every Sunday at their headquarters, were
addressed last evening by the President,
William C. Judge, on the subject of Psychic
Man." He said nearly everyone makes the
mistake OF supposing he sees the real man
when he looks at a human being. In fact,
none of us sees the real person except now
and then in dreams, frances and when ap-
partitions appear.
The psychic man has hands and feet and
brain and eyes just as the outer one has, and
Is made of a very nne sort OF matter. He
uses the body to get ideas from physical ma
ture. He can be trained to get out OF the
by the short period of sleep.
By accident he sometimes slips out and
becomes for the moment an apparition which
frightens some one else. He is the one who
does the wonderful things spiritualists
ascribe to dead men.
Mr. Judge said that by this psychic per-
son not only thought reading and hypno-
tism could be explained, but also any true
phenomena of the seance room. But he
said that unembodied spirits seldom visit
mediums that it was all done by the en-
bodied psychic man.
Mr. Judge pointed to hypnotism as a COM
ing danger, not SO much from suggestion to
crime as by the possibility of hypnotizers
disjoining among many people the psychic
man from the brain, and thus causing a vast
increase of insanity. This may be looked
for in the near future, he said.

SOMETHING
BRIGHT
IN
SUITS.

There is nothing brighter in
suits than a bright boy. It's
a shame to inhict cheap,
shoddy clothing upon such a
lad. Nothing can suit the
season and the boy so well
as one of our nobby, Double
Breasted Cheviot Suits. They
will look better, wear better
and cost less than such suits
usually do. Durability
and elegance are strong
points in favor of a
suit, and they are the two
points about our Homemade
Suits which render them more
suitable for bright boys than
any ever offered. From 81. 50
to $500 we can fit any boy
between 4 and IA years of
age. We also carry a full
line of boys headgear. You
can find nowhere as large a
selection of Boys and Chill
dren's Hats as at

Senator Villas Replies to Arguments Made
by an Ex-wisconsin Official.
MADISON, WIS, Sept. 2L-In the SUI
preme Court, today. ex-Attorney General
Estabrook, in discussing the action to annul
the Legislative apportionment of the State
as unconstitutional, cited instances to prove
that there was as high as $4,000 difference
in population between the Senatorial dis

cluded the possibility of the law coming
within the provision of the constitution re-
quiring equality of population.
United States Senator Villas held the
case was not properly the subject of dis
cussion in Court, inasmuch as the Attorney
General refused to bring it in the name of
the State, declaring that without such con-
sent suit of so public character could
not be brought

INNER MOON OF MARS.
The Human Beings Up There Must Be-
Microscopic Objects.

The Human Beings Up There Must Be
Microscopic Objects.
Scientific Americana
Phobos, the inner moon of Mars, having
diameter of about eight miles, is of size
easily comparable with the earth and OBJ
jects upon the earth's surface, its diameter
and circumference being respectively al
most exactly one one-thousandth of the
earth's diameter and circumference.
Let us suppose everything on the sur
face Of the earth to be reproduced on the
surface of Phobos, as men, trees. ships,
mountains, rivers, ETC., all reduced in size
proportionately. Itwould be only neces-
sary to divide by 1000 the dimensions of
any earthly object to ascertain its dimen-
sions as modelled on Phobian scale
A man six feet high would, on this scale,
stand 0072 inch of our measure on
Pnobos, and looking down with our human
eyes to find him we should have to look for
an. oval object about O. 022 inch diameter in
its longest dimension, as we should see
only the head and shoulders.
A good magnifying glass would be needed
to determine the real character of the mere
speck that would be visible to an unaided
human eye at distancne of two or three feet
4
to crawl with painfully slow motion. A
ship of the size of the Great Eastern sailing
on the Phobiau ocean would be no less than
seven and a half inches long. A whale of
average size reduced to our Phobian scale
would be less than fve-eighths of an inch
long.
A railway train of ten vestibule cars with
locomotive and tender would have a length
of less than six of our inches and its breadth
would be represented by line less than
0.02 of an inch in thickness
An earthly river, two miles in breadth
and 100 feet deep, would be represented on
Phobos by a stream a little more than 1OJ<
of our feet in breadth and L2 inches In
depth. Let this river be frozen over with
sheet of ice Phobian feet thick and the
ice would be only as thick as sheet of
drawing paper
A square 21S of our inches on each side
would represent Phobian acre of land. A
United States postage stamp would cover a
space of nearly three Phobian city lots A
city like New York built to the Phobian
scale would have streets ranging from a to
LIZ inches wide, and these would pass be-
tween buildings ranging from 6 to "a
inches in height.
