mented Captain Graft upon his
and complimented the company upon its
high standing in the State militia.

company in the regiment, if not in the
State. AT the recent inspection his
company passed the inspecting officer,
Lieutenant Colonel BoltvDod, with one
hundred per cent. having a full COM
plement of eighty-three men. 1t was
the first time in the history of the Fourth
Regiment that such a thing was done.

wILKINsoN-EVERETT SUIT.

The libel suit of DR.. John R. Everett
against DIR. James Wilkinson, which was
made the special order for today in the
Supreme Court, was again postponed.
Justice Lippincott said he was ready to
go on with the trial provided it would not
occupy more than two days. His engage
ments are such that he could not possibly
give it more than two days at this time.
Senator BriRkerhoff for the defence said
1t would require at least two days and
perhaps three to get his testimony all in.
Lawyer McCarter, for the plaintiff, said
that the presentation of his case would
require but a very short time, but he
could not tell until he heard the defence
how much time he would require for re-
buttal. By mutual consent the trial was
set down for July 6, and no other case
will be fixed for that day.

A Minnesota school.

A County Superintendent of Schools in
Northwestern Minnesota, where a fourth
of atownship is a school district, relates a
peculiar incident. On a our of inspection
he found one school district that had only
one family living in it, and the head of
that family was a homesteader who was
not required to pay taxes. He was, of
course, the school director of that district,
The other land in the district were owned
by spectators who lived in St. Paul and
elsewhere, and paid the taxes. The wife
of the homesteader was drawing from the
county $40 per month as school teacher,
and her only pupils were her own two chill
dren. Being asked who appointed her, she
replied, 1.-THE school director" and being
asked who he was, she replied, MY hus-
band.' The husband and wife, school di-
rector and school teacher, were Nor
wegians, and yet there are persons VINO

A species of acacia, which grows very

also called the 'swhistling tree by the
natives. Its shoots are frequently, by
the agency of the larvae of insects, dis
torted in shape and swollen into a globu-
lar bladder from one or two inches in
diameter. After the insect has emerged
from a circular hole in the side of this
swelling, the opening, played Upon by

ment. nearly equal in sound to a sweet

SERGEANT MAXON BROKE HIS LEG

Sergeant Edward Maxon, Company A,
Fourth Regiment, met with a painful ac-
cident while bicycle riding on Saturday
afternoon. He, with several other mem
bers Of the Fourth Regiment Cyclers,
was riding to Fort Lee. The last turn
in the road ends in a sharp incline which
runs direct to the shore. Sergeant Maxon
and Sergeant Mandigo. of Company H,
were in the lead. AS they turned the
corner both lost control of their machines
and started down the hill at breakneck
speed. When about half way down Ser
geant Maxon lost his balance and fell,
breaking his leg. Sergeant Mandigo
reached the bottom of the hill safely. This
is the same spot where Mr.. James Glib
son, of the Victor Wheelmen, met with
a similar accident Just a year ago Satur-
day. He escaped being thrown over the

and He Has Then Arrested.
Kate Flafier, 10 years old, and Freida
Simmer, % years old, of No. ss5 Second
street, We're walking up Montgomery
street Saturday night, when they met
Jimmie Foley, a young man of the world.
When the trio reached Summit avenue
they visited a saloon in the vicinity and
had several mixed ales. While in the
place they. met kind-hearted Daniel Nc
Dermott of No. Z Sea View avenue, who
was considerably under the weather.
Daniel has a fondness for young girls,
and he soon got acquainted with Katie
and Freida. Jimmie did not mind the
intrusion, in fact he was rather pleased,
as Dan seemed to have lots of money,
and began to "set up drinks for them
all.
In a little while old Dan accumulated
a Jag." Then Freida, who was not at
all behind the times, decided to make the
best of her opportunities. Squeezing a
few crocodile tears, she began in a wimp-
ering tone to tell McDermott a sad tale
of woe n poverty. She said that she
and her friend had no home and were
looking for money enough to get a nights
lodging. Dam swallowed a lump which
had risen in his throat and fishing down
into a well filled pocketbook gave her
$50. She thanked him, as she dried her
tears, and, giving him a parting kiss,
called Katie and together they left the
saloon. Once outside they ran away.
After the girls had gone McDermott
went to sleep. When he awoke later,
nearly sober, he discovered the loss of
his $50, and was furious. Collecting his
b~enuddled senses he remembered what
he had done, and went to the Seventh
precinct police station, where he reported
the circumstances to Captain Cox. Detec-
tive Larkins was put upon the case, and
he arrested the girls yesterday afternoon
at their Second street home.
THIS morning they were arraigned be-
fore Judge Douglass and held to await
the action of the Grand Jury. The girls
said that the money was given to them
and that they are not guilty of larceny.

THE SPASM OF DRYNBSS
Liquor Sold in Many Places
Yesterday in Spite Of Po-
lice Activity.

1t was not dry yesterday, or at least
only in spots. This was not any fault of
the police, as Chief Murphy is authority
for the statement that the usual precau-
tons were exercised. The liquor dealers,
the same gentleman declares, have com
Fbined and propose defying the police. Yes
terday seven arrests were made, four
dealers being caught down town. The
cases against the offenders will be heard
tomorrow morning.
In another column is published a severe
~arraignment of the police by the Rev.
John L. Scudder. In reply, Chief Murphy
had this to say this morning:-'"The mem
ibers of the Police Department will be only
too pleased to have Individual or assoc
ciated assistance in enforcing the Sunday
law. Last night with inspector Lange I
made a tour OF the lower section of the
city. For two hours l wandered about and
found a great increase in the number of
saloons where business is being done on
Sunday. In nearly every Instance men are
kept on guard at the door and some nave
men stationed across the street, so that
it is a practical impossibility for police
men to get inside and procure evidence.
No n who is not known is admitted.
Sometimes men who do not have the APP.
p%earance of policemen are allowed to en-
ter. Saloon men have no difficulty in dis
tinguishing a policeman for the reason
that they are as a rule able-bodied men.

was called to the fact that Enoch Smith.

doing business. Five minutes later a uni
