GRADUALLY GETTING SETTLED
Finishing Touches Being Put Upon the New
Police Station

EiUISniHR touches being Put upon tne NeW
Police Station
Order is gradually being brought out
of chaos at the new police station, and
the finishing touches will probably be
completed some time during the next
month of two Yesterday the gas and
electric fixtures were placed in a por-
tion of the down stairs offices, but as yet
In the dormitory the officers grope about
at night with the aid of candles. The
official photographer has placed his
camera and apparatus ready for use
in the gallery and from now on the crfin-
inals will be 'mugged" within the Jail.
There yet remains some work to be
done in fixing UP the drill hall and
dormitory, but everybody is gradually
getting settled in their new quarters
except the newspaper reporters, who
still curl their heels in the hallway and
prepare copy on an antiquated faro
table set in corner, piled about with
gas fixtures which are to be put up in
different portions of the building.

a Scverc Criticism of Pennsylvaniass Free
meat of Her Honored Son.

ment of Her Honored eous
Sydney G. Fisher, in an article In LIP
pincott's Magazine, says: There II no
character that shows the Pennsylyania
feeling so well as Bayard Taylor. He Wa
thorough son Of the soil. His GERMAN
and Quaker ancestors had been Pennsylva-
mans for many generations. He always
felt that he belonged to the state. he tried
to identify himself with 1t as much ~ ho
could and as much as it would let him.
He built himself home in his native vnl-
ley and tried his best to live there. He
wrote novels and ballads to describe IT.
scenes. But his difficulty was not merely
that he was forced to shy that there was .
tyranny of public sentiment there which
was against him. His real difficulties wero
still larger. The whole state rejected him.
Its chief city, Philadelphia, would have
nothing to do with him. 1t seemed extraor-
dinary that, after tie state had produced
its first great poet and it's first really gift
cd man of letters, of whom any common-
wealth might he proud, the state and the
city should unto in kicking him out Of
doors.
Fortunately for these children who aEe
SO summarily elected, they are usually Of
sufficient ability to be valued BY othee
communities. Taylor was Of loyal and
honorable nature. He felt that he belong
ed to his old home and was always trying
to get hack. But, undesired and unappro-
ciated by his native state, he sought for
sympathy abroad. Germany honored hisn,i
and he received more encouragement and
regard in few years on the Rhine than
he received in his whole life on the DelA-''
ware. New York adopted him as her son.
When he was appointed minister to Berlin
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia were d.
lent, but New York gave him q banquet.
When his dead body was brought home
from Germany, New York received him,
and he lay in state with guard OF honor,
in her city hall. When no was carried to
Kennett Square to be buried, his native
state was again silent and seemed to b.
unaware that she was receiving him into

mistaken as to his popularity, and will
retire from politics and continue preach
Ing. Mr.. Pitman is quoted as saying
that after taking an inventory of the

asked was too much for the article,

to pay his full share for legitimate cleo

as Colonel Whiskers, will make a fight

THE JUDGES JUMPED UPON
For DlsquaIifylng a Horse Which Should
Have Won
A Second Trial Of the Same Tactics Raises
Smaller Howl Only Because It
Was Unsuccessful

Associated Press Special Wire
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 8.-The 2:24
class trot developed a surprise at Agri-
cultural park this afternoon and the pc
culiar action Of the judges in disqualify
ing Twilight in the fourth heat caused
them to be roundly hissed by the spec
tators in the grand stand and set af1oat
some ugly rumors affecting the integrity
of those officials.
Laurel opened an odds-on favorite for
the race, in the books and was barred
in the betting in the action pool box.
Addison for place carried the money in
the auction box, Twilight being classed
with the field. Laurel took the first heat
as she pleased. After getting the word
in the second heat she broke badly and
never recovered until she entered the
home stretch, where under hard drive,
she managed to save her distance, but
finished lats. Twilight won the heat
The latter took the next heat, Laurel
breaking repeatedly and finished third.
Twilight won the fourth heat, Laurel
finishing absolutely last in the field of
six. The winner made a break when
few feet from the wire, being closely
pressed by Niece, who had not until
then figured as possibility. The judges
were long time in announc-
ing their decision, but finally
awarded Niece the heat, penalizing Twi-
light for her break at the finish and set
ting her back of Laurel, who had run
the greater part of them ile. Then an
indignant protest went up from the spec
tators. Had Twilight been given the
heat as is generally claimed she was en-
titled to, that would have ended the
race, but the judges did not do it and
Laurel, having become steady by this
time, came on and won the race.
The judges came in for vigorous de-
nunciation for their action in the 2:22
pace. Nellie b. was a top heavy favorite
but she acted badly and dropped two
heats Betty Gentry. The third heat
she was ent off several lengths in the
rear and being unsteady, broke chortly
after getting the word. When Betty
Gentry, who was leading reached the
half mile ground Nellie B. was over an
eighth of a mile behind. Entering the
stretch she broke gain and pulling up to
a standstill logged under the wire three
sixteenth of a mile behind the winner,
being dstanced three times over. Her
driver protested against the send-off she
had been given and the mare was allow
ed to start in the next heat, but despite
a change in drivers, she was beaten off.
