SEARCHING FOR HIS BROTHER.
Fred Darrew, Of kirksyitte, In This
City Looking for Ills brother.
Who Hysieri0usiy DR.
appeared Some
Time Age.

Fred Darrow, of kirksyilie, is in
this city looking f,r his brother, who
mysteriously disappeared on the
18th of May.
The missing man is connected
with large furniture manufacturing
establishment in Jackson, Tenn ,and
in the early part of May he went TO
his old home, Kirksville, Mo-, on a
visit. About the 18th he took his
wife to Fulton and placed her in the
asylum for the insane He then came
to this city and registered at the
Ringo Hotel on the 18th of May.
Since then nothing has been heard of
him. The firm with which he is
connected supposed he was still in
Kirksville, and forwarded all his
letters to that place. His relatives
in Kirksville wrote to him, address
ing the letters to Jackson, Tenn,
and as they received no answers, in
quiry was made as to his where
abouts. When it was discovered
that no one knew anything of him,
his brother Fred Immediately
started to look for him.
The missing man was formerly |
assistant cashier of the Savings Bank |
of Kirksville, and now has business
interests in Chicago. His brother
thinks he may be in that city now.
Darrow's aged mother is nearly
distracted, and thinks her son has
been the victim of foul play.

They saw him gazing into the sky;
And, passing nearer, they heard him cry,
With an upward wave of a greeting hand.

CousinIy.

Among the hardest things which the
infant Prince Edward Of the royal
house Of England, the little son of the
Duke of York and heir eXpectant to
the throne, will have to straighten out
when he Is older is his relationship to
his own father and mother. 1t constl-
tutes problem such as Is seldom
found outside Of princely houses.
1t is certain, however, that he is the
third cousin of his father, and also the
second cousin Of his mother. This
makes his relation to himself some
where between that of n third and
fourth cousin.
He is, as it WERE his own double
third cOusin-a relationship which 1t
will doubtless take some time for him
to comprehend.
Both his father ana mother are de-
scended from George III. of England
George Ills son Adolphus, Duke Of
Cambridge, had Il daughter Mary who
married the Duke Of Teck, and became
the mother Of the Princess May, who
married the Duke Of York; and the
Duke Of York's father, the Prince Of
Wales, is the great-grandson Of the
same King George III.
The young prince will have the right
to address his mother, his father, or
himself as my royal cousin" and he
may perhaps, excuse any Partially for
his mother over his father by declaring
that she Is u nearer relation to him than
his father,
The princely families Of Europe sup
ply many similar cases of tangled re-
lationshlp, growing out OF the success
sive intermarriages of cousins in
nearer or remoter degrees.

Wealth in a River BED.

For centuries it has been the belief
of the common people Of Genoa that
treasures were hidden in the bed of
the Polcavera, n stream that runs by
the city. Recently a carter, in digging
for sand In the bed Of the drled-up tor
rent, came upon hidden treasure, of
which, so far, coin Of the face value of
10000 francs has been found and the
supply is not yet exhausted. BY the
Italian law half OF this goes to the
state and half to the finder. The value
of the coins Is far beyond the sum men
toned. Many Of them are rare and
of great artistic value They are chief
ly gold and belong to the period be-
tween 14G0 and 1850; that u.s. the relgns
of Louis XII, Charles VIII, Louis XII.
and Francis l., and are all either
French or GenOese. The Genoese due
ats are specially rare and will fetch
high prices. The search for treasure Is
going on under police supervision.

Is lifted from his bed and carried out

that the living may not have the bother

1t Is but fair to say that in this re-
speot OF treatment of the dead and dy-
ing there Is u distinct difference be-
tween the Italians and the Slavs,

The Italians will spend the last cent to
pay for doctor attendance on a sick
relative or to secure a dead friend q
decent burial. The Slavs will re-
sort to any device to get dead or

pense.
But it is not so much their aborig-
inal ideas touching the decencies of
life, their filth and their bestial habits
which have made these wretched poo
pie more and more abominable in the
eyes OF communities on which they
have been implanted like social ulcers.
In these respects, it is true, the Dig
ger Indians would figure to advantage
by comparison. But it is their Grim
inal profensities, their murderous
savagery, which have been steadily
growing, until they have seriously

No Long Island.
The island was"a wild spot, inhab-
tied almost exclusively by Indians, al
though a few settlers had established
homes. They erected a humble house
Of worship on the site Of the present
structure. Adjoining the church was
stockade. Through the sides were
portfolios, and during services senti-
nels were constantly on guard. The
men carried guns to church, and were
always prepared for conflict.
Minister Denton remained at the head
of his congregation for fifteen years,
when he returned to England, where
he died. He left four sons to carry on
his labors. Two of them were instru-
mental in the creation of colony now
known as Jamaica, and the other two
founded Elizabeth, N. ]. Their de-

The two hundred and fiftieth ami
Versary of the establishment of the
Presbyterian Church in America was
recently celebrated in the pretty vii
lage of Hampstead, Long island TIE
. establishment Of this church and its
early history are marked by series of
events which give 1t leading place
in the history of the nation. The rec
ords preserved In this little community
vouch for the claim that there one Of
the first sparks of religious liberty in
America was ignlted, the light from
which served as beacon in the strug-
giles of the colOnlsts to throw Off the
demands Of the mother country. The
revolutionary spirit was demonstrate
ed on more than one occasion, and the
records Of the church are teemng with
deeds Of yalor and Of independence
which finally resulted in separation
from Great Britain.
From 1914 until the present day the
congregation has remained intact. At
no period was there ever wanting de-
votlon to the church, and the record is
one Of the most remarkable in Ameri-
can history.
The founder of the parish and its
first pastor was Richard Denton. He
came to America accompanied by
band of faithful worshipers, and, like
the Pilgrim fathers, settled in Massa-
chusetts. Religious liberty was de-
MED them in England, and they gave
up home, worldly prospects, and ev-
erything near and dear rather than sac
ritice their devotion to Presbyterian
principles. They were a portion of the
Puritans of Massachusetts, and the
leader was idolized by his followers
The party landed in Massachusetts
about 1910, and settled in Watertown.

encouragement from the Pilgrims.

Red Hot Cnmnnirn

A New Zealand paper says that the
prohibition movement is assuming
awful proportions in New Zealand. 1t
is no longer campaign against drink
but against the individual drinker
In the smaller towns the movement
has an eye on everybody, and if it CON
siders that any persons nose is too
wildly illustrated, or his breath is not
up to sample, some prohibition advo-
cate calls upon him. Then. having
having leaned his black umbrella
against the door post, he extracts with
his black-glOved hand note book from
the tail pocket of his black coat and
asks him what he drinks. While he is
waiting for an answer he fishes out n
pencil from his black waistcoat and
stands ready to enter the name of the
drink in his book. If the information
is not satisfactory he most likely calls
on the woman next door and asks IL the
suspected person is ever seen intoxicat-
ed, IL anyone has noticed his breath. IL
he looks wild on Saturday nights, if he
comes home late and has q difficulty
with his keyhole, if he swears or makes
a disturbance, if he is ever seen bring
ing home drinks, and various other
questions He notes down all the an
swers, and demands whether the inter
rogated females own husband is strict
ly sober, and whether she has any sus-
picions concerning anyone else in the
neighborhood. Then he goes round to
the back and looks over the fence to
see If there are any bottles lying about.

The most dlgni6ed of all our Govern
ment institutions Is the Supreme Court,
which holds its sessions in Washington.
1t Is composed Of elderly men who are
very solemn and never in hurry, and
who are as slow in their various pro-
ceedings as they can very we'll be, The
courts business, indeed, is several
years behind, and there seems no like
lihood that 1t will ever manage to
catch up to the present. Each justice
receives salary of $4,000 year, but
still their job can't be exactly called an
easy one. They are in court six days In
the week for four hours, and the out
side preparation of their opinions re-
qulres an immense expenditure of
time.
Thecourt assemblies each day at noon,
and after putting on its black silk robes
marches in procession into the court
room. There Is theatrical touch to
the entrance The blackrobed figures
glide mysteriously behind the pillars,
and then, as though at prompter's sig
nal, appear ut the spaces between the
pillars and move to their places. These
places are fixed, and if you know the
order which Is invariably followed in
assigning them you can answer with
out hesitation any question as to the
chronological order of the associate
justices. The chief justice, of course,
sits in the middle.
When the justices enter the court
crier raps three times and says in

raised question as to the possibility
of forever enduring their presence in


Two Murders Every Week.
During the past eighteen months
there has been an average of murder
a week, while of murderous assaults
with deadly weapons many Of which
terminated fatally, the average has
been two or three a week. And vet,
during all that time, there have been
only two convictions OF murder in the
first degree, and neither of these was
a Pole, Slav or an Italian. There is.
no longer any hope in police protec-
ton. The officers OF the law, in fact,
have been literally paralyzed by the
rising tide of murder which has swept
over the region. Tens of thousands of
dollars and weeks and months OF time
have been spent in efforts to bring Just
q very few Of these red-handed butch
ers to justice, and yet not in two years
has one OF them been hanged. 1t Is
true that few have been lodged in
the penitentiary, the notorious Mutz
gang Of italian assassins being q con-
spicuous instance of last year work.
But where ten are caught and pun
ished, ninety are never even appre-
hended. While probably there is no
regular organization OF murderers,
like the Molie Maguires, the Mollies
themselves never worked more yea
ously or more cunningly to conceal
their murderers and suppress all evil
dences Of their crimes.
