ACCUSED OF BEATING A BOY.
How Old Man Alligator Chnstised Little
Eddie MertclL.

A week ago 1O-yearo old Edward Hertell of 80
Thornton street, Williamsburgh. pulled down
from a rack in front of Blasiur Allgaier's shoe
store at ia Broadway a pair of shoes and ran
away. He was captured by Allgaier's sou and
handed over to the elder Allgaier. The shoe
dealer, who Is nearly 20 years old. struck the
boy several times and also knocked him down.
1t Is alleged that he then kicked Hertell and
threw him out OF the store. The boy was found
insensible on the sidewalk by two men, who
carried him to a drug store. An ambulance
was summoned and after the boys head had
been bandaged Allgaier's son had him arrested
for attempting to steal the shoes. When the
boy was arraigned in the Lee Avenue Police
Court the next morning, Justice Goetting OBJ
served his weak condition and paroled him for
a hearing yesterday.
When the case was called the boy was led up
to the bar by his married sister. Mrs. Lille
Greir. He was scarcely able to stand.
"What Is the matter with that boy?" asked
the Justice.
Mrs. Greir charged old man Allgaier with
having brutally beaten and kicked the boy, and
said that he also threw her brother head first
through the plate glass In the store door. She
said physicians had informed her that the boy
Is permanently injured.
Allgaier admitted that he slapped the boy.
but declared that when he did so the boy broke
through the glass in order to make his escape.
The Justice dismissed the charge of at
tempted larceny against the boy and had n war.
rant for assault drawn up against the elder All.
gaier. Allgaier pleaded not guilty. and the
case was adjourned for a week.

ut is almost impossible 10 find persons In the
ordinary walks of active life who are not suffer.
ing. inors or less. from want of vital force"
II was n learned professor connected with n
New York medical college, who recently made
this remark "Men break down under the
strains OF high pressure living" he continued.
"they verwork the brain and neglect the body.
They exercise no part Of the body except the
head, and consequently suffer from indigestion,
palpitation of the heart, weak nerves, and other
Ills that make life n burden"
That the above words are absolutely true Ia
repeatedly proved by the experience Of many
men who break down through uverwork and
too close attention to business. They Overtax
the nervous system. they strain their physical
powers to the point Of exhaustion. and then
have to give up tho fight. This was exactly
what happened in the case OF Seldcn Fish, the
well-known Chicago lawyer, ms Will he seen by
the following statement that he recently made:

A handful OF earth
From the land OF my birth,


Ex-Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn delivered a
lecture on What l Learned About Brooklyn in
the Mayors Chair" last night before the All
Souls Club, in Wnliamsburgh. He said in
part:
The Mayor should devote his entire time
and thought To the affairs OF the city; in fact,
he can hardly do anything else. brooklyn has
grown 10 such immense proportions that IL oc-
cupies the attention ~ his entire time. The
Mayor should bo thoroughly independent in his
action, keep alOOf as much AS possible from par
ticipating In active politics. His term OF office
for large city like BrOOklyn should be changed
to four years. but not be eligible to succeed him
self. This would place him in n moro indie
pendent position befOre the people.
