NEW HAVEN PLEASED
When the Different Bands of Coxeyites
Left Town.

New Haven, Conn.,, May 3.-The
three contingents of the New England
crusaders under com manders Fitzger-
aid, Sweetland and Murray, have met
and parted. The three conbingents have
all left town en- route for their destina-
lion, much to the qualification Of the
people of this city. Fitzgerald and his
crowd of Sc Socialists spent the night in
Aurora hall and were given a substan-
tial breakfast, provided by the local So
cialists. Sweetland and Murray were un-
able to make arrangemea with Fitz-
gerald, the latter refusing to join forces
with the former. Fitzgerald would not
take any recruits here. because he says
that his force is already large enough.
The reason given for not taking in the
other two sections is that the objects of
the Sweetland and Murray parties are
different from his The latter are pop
ulists, At the meeting in Aurora hall
last.night, about $40 was raised by sub
scription for the Fitzgerald party. which
was more than enough to pay Tor their
TRANSPORTATION to New York. AT New
York they are to be received by the
Socialists OF. that city. Fitzgerald says
that he thinks that his men will not be
obliged to walk any more because sufic-
lent money will probably be raised to
defray their expenses to Washington
from New York by boat. Sweetland and
Murray started for Bridgeport on foot
There were about fifty in the party.

And You Gun Retain the Former and Give
Exercise the Go BY.
Dr.. "a. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote Of radical Improvement in the
general health Of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac
tor Of present day ailments is the abey-
ance into which the muscular system is
allowed to fall by jewellers in cities,
who are daily becoming more and more
dependent on artificial means Of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, nm
til disorders Of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among
the comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavors to overcome the mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, but the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre-
atoms, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
train or mounts his street car rather
than waste the time necessary for a
brisk walk Or q half hour in the gym
nasium. a.I5
The popularity of tho bicycle has
tended to counterfeit the disuse OF mus
cles engendered in a large proportion OF
town residents, but there are still num-
bers Of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims Of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much as men. The Capitalization OF
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
thrs manufactured or of the work per-.
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members Of many families fairly well
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were proftably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and iron
ing the linen. One of the results OF
this general Discrimination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of a practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum. III sS:S T.. q s VIZ
4 The introduction Of. massage may be
regarded as specific evidence Of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DR.. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey--
ance Of function in certain glands is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic llq-
uids derived from a similar source
and modern research has esta blished this
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk
of muscular tissue. which is SO large a
portion of the human frame, will, and
invariably does, give rise to disordered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues Of the body,
which are interdependent on the act.v-
ity of the muscles and each other. Men
tai and nervous overstrain is rarely
from muscular disuse and
aaccidity. The burden Of DR.: Eccles'
exhortation is: Even if you make
little less money, take more exercise.
You will save the difference. in doctors
bills and bring more happiness not only
into your own life, but into other peo-
pies. Pitmburg Dispatch.

Tho walls of Jerusalem.

The lofty wall of Jerusalem and the
massive towers Of the citadel are inn
mediately before us. We are on the
outer slope Of Mount Zion, the sanctu-
airy and the abode Of David. The pom
derous blocks which form the lower
strata of the wall might have been
shaped and put in place by some pre-
historic race of giants. More than al
most anything else to be found around
Jerusalem, or within, this wall bears
an appearance of great antiquity. We
can easily believe that its foundations
were laid in the time Of David, though
its upper portions are unquestionably
modern. Ii. 49,. H..
The books vary. One says it was the
work Of Sultan Suleiman in the six
teenth century, another that it was
erected much earlier, and my guide, a
most intelligent and we'll informed Jew
Of Hungarian origin, told me that 1t
was built by the crusaders after they
had got possession, for the purpose OF
protecting the inhabitants against the
rascally Arabs, who would ride up in
small parties, rob some rich family and
be of with their plumber before any
thing could be done to stop them. But,
however this may be, the wall, from
IS to 20 feet in height, fully incloses
the town, and although it could soon be
knocked to pieces by 10 FOUNDER can

KNITTED A CONDUCTOR.
A COLORED MAN ON A STREET
CAR
Stabbed the Conductor Because
of the Small Money He Re.
ceived in Change.

William Massengill. a young mulatto,
found fault yesterday afternoon with an
lnterurban car conductor because the
latter gave him handful of pennies In
making change. The conductor, whose
name is w. Hilgedick, refused to
give the colored fellow any
other kind of change and
walked back to the rear platform.
Massengil jumped up and followed
him, and as soon as he reached the
platform he slashed the conductors
forearm with knife or razor. Officer
Mccormick, who was on the car, ar
rested MassengiH and took him TO the
central station. The conductors arm
was badly cut, and, according to his
statement, his assailant used a razor.
The officer did not see any razor, and
nothing in the nature of weapon was
found on Massengill but cheap pen.
