their paternnl farms to the cities, and
adds that the fact ia one of the most
deplorable tendencies of the times.
1t Expresses the hope that the mis-.
take will be checked by the common
sense of the rising generation, and
there are many who fully agree with
1t. 1t is a great mistake for young

If the Democrats OF Tennessee, says

III the October election. it will be be-
cause large numbers of tho best men"
OF the party failed to register and
vote. But why Is 1t TINT the "best
men" of the party fail to register aud
vote either III Tennessee or elsewhere
III the south? In these times. when
every vote is needed. it should be q
patriotic duty on the part OF every man
not only to vote, but to see TINT his

register.
1t Will not do TO take any chances in
this matter. While 1t is believed that
the South is safe to the Democratic
column, yet no risks should be run.

One of the most potent factors in the
success of Mr Theodore Thomas in Chi
ca2o was doubtless the fact Of his hay-
ing married Chicago woman, writes
Mrs. Hamilton Mott in Tho Ladies'
Home Journal Mrs. Thomas, although
not Chicagoan by birth, had resided in
that city for So long time before her
marriage that the people there had come
to feel sense of proprietorship in her.
Mrs. Thomas, whose maiden na,ne
was Rose Fay, WAS born in 1899, in tho
parish Of st. Adams, VT, where her
father, the Rev. Charles Pay Of Boston
a Clergyman of the Episcopal church.
was at that time acting as rector. His
wife, Miss Emily Hopkins, was the
daughter Of the presiding bishop in the
house of bishops, and it may be readily
Imagined therefore that Mrs. Thomas is
by choice as by inheritance an Episco-
palian
In appearance Mrs. Thomas is tail and
slight, of fair cOmplcxion with gray
eyes and brown hair Her face bctoliens
much of the intellectually Of the cult
vaicd Bostonian. She dresses in quiet
and excellent taste, preferriug the dark

HIS ALLEGED FAILURE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT
ING OF EXPENDITURES.
II was learned yesterday that charges OF "A serious
nature had been made against eXDetective Sergeant
Charles Jacobs who recently remanded to
patrol duty at Kingsbridge. Jacobs resigned. how
ever sooner than go patrol. His resignation Is
In the hands of the Police Board. 1t has not yet
been acted upon. At the time of the shake-up in

cxtradite Percy NJ. Taylor, bcokkeeper for Els q
Golterman dealers in rubber goods at No. IS
Ieonari-st. who committed forgeries amounting to
81 90 and fed to London where he arrested. 1t
is alleged now that the firm gave Jacobs liberal
allowance of money when he went 10 London and
that he had refused to give an account Of his eX-
penditures.
When Jacobs came back" said. Mr.. Ellis yester-
day I'VE asked for an itemizcd account Of his
penditures but he refused TO furnish 1t. He had
500 besides his passage tickets and we don't see
how he could have egitimatey used all that money
In two weeks stay in London. For that reason
we asked for an accounting and as he has refused
to furnish it. we have preferred charges against
him.
The Police Commissioners have no jurisdiction
over Jacobs. asmuch ne mas resigned. They
could. however refuse TO accept his resignation and
dismiss him from the force. y DISMISSAL would pre-
vent him from being reappointed IN the future

BOwes Miss Hansbury's Droher-n-law Identified
IL without difficulty. The face badly bruised
and the arms were scratched and cut. II is be-
lieved that these injuries were sustained in falling
through some decayed planks In the approach to
steamboat landing across the river. II was
used by the Newark boat, and Miss Hansbury had
often landed there while visiting her sister before
her reason was clouded. There are some sharp
stones under the pier and person falling through
the planks would land on the stones when the tide
is low. II Miss Hansbury fell she probably
made unconscious, and lay there until the tide
rose and swept her away. Coroner Uhlmann does
not think IL necessary to hold an inquest. He
holds 10 the theory Of suicide while mentally de-
ranged. Miss Hansbury had practically been
under restraint while In home In New York. and
had been DISCHARGED cured after four months
stay. She showed signs OF a relapse coming to
her sisters home and the doctors advised Mrs.

posed that Mss Hansbury learned OF this and de-
termined do away with herself She had been
