A. P. AS Protest Against
Psalm Book Burning.
Catholic Pupils in Bath
Schools INDUCED in It.
Say Priests Instructed Them, But
Latter Say They Did Not.


up yesterday by the distribution OF hand
bills which read: "Pablic meeting In
Independence Hall tonight, to take action
regarding the burning of Bibles in the
public schools Of Bath by the command
of priest. All patriotic, liberty-loving
citizens are requeste1 to be present.
Charles Il. Taylor, president council A.
y. A."
About 800 citizens gathered at the hall,
where addresses were made and resolu'
tjons passed protesting against the inter-
ference OF tho priest hood with the reading
of the scriptures in the public schools,
protesting against any Isxity of the school
hoard, and demanding that oil the laws
in their code be strictly enforced.
The occasion of this meeting was the
fact that some of the Catholic children
in the city schools had burned their
psalm books, and IL had teen stated by
one Of the school teachers that 13 pupils
had understood the priest to have told
them that they should burn their Bibles
and psalm books. AS matter OF fact,
Edward Gaudreau, son of the captain Of
the city police, did burn his book, and
when questioned stated tnat they had
been instructed to do so.
This il empbsticslly denied by FIR.
O'Brien, pastor Of ST. Mary's Catholic
the children misunderstood what the
priest who has been here during the mis-
sion services of the past 10 days said
when he referred to cheap novels, ETC., as
books which had bstter be burned.
Father OBrien said: "Wo want our
children to read the Bible, we want all
| to read the Bible, and the idea that we
advised burning these books is absurd" F"
rather McGrath, to whom the words
| were credited, likewise denied saying
anything that could be taken to imply
any srcn instructions.
On the other hand Miss Totman, the
teacher whose pupils undertook the book
burning, states that 13 pupils refused to
| ioin in the recitation OF the Lords
| PRAYER, which it is customary to repeat
| in the schools here.
AS to the psalm books, Father O'Brien
| stated that, as they were O Protestant
n
version, there was no justice in attempt
! ing to compel Catholic children to uss
them, and superintendent OF Schools
winsiow gave it as his opinion that such
a request was improper in the case OF
Catholic children.
! The meeting at the A.P.A. hall showed
| the attendance of many citizens who are
not mem bers of this order, and the fiery
sre,ches, in which the priesthood was
denounced as political organization
| aiming to destroy the foundations OF
American freedom, were enthusiastically
applaudej.
The average man looks upon the book
iuciden, as n childish prank OF no partic'
ular Significance, but 1t Is probable that
the recitation of the Lords prayer by ell
the scholars in the city schools will be
insisted upon.
| The A. PA. council in Bath Is credited
with a membership Of about 250 or about
12 per cent of the registered vote.

NO FINAI ARRANGEMENT YET.

Professor Benjamin L. Wheeler, the
Faculty member OF the Cornel Athletic
Council, returned yesterday from New
York. where he had a conference with the
Columbia and Pennsylvania boating au-
thorities. No final arrangements for the
races nave been reached, because Cornell is
not in po7i,ion to agree finely until size
comes TO an understanding With Harvard.
Harvard has iutimated she would like to
race Cornell separately in which case the
former would probably not go into a
quadrangular race again this year. Cor
nell and Harvard will without doubt
come to a decision.

IMPERIAL PAWNshoP.
Austria Conducts the PnwnbroISing
Business for Her Poor.

Austria Conducts the PnwnbrolSing
business for Her Poor.
Austria has an imperial pawn shop.
1t was established in Vienna in 1907,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part of the en-
pire. 1t was designed as a way TO secure
10 the starving some means of immed
ate relief, and by putting the rate of in
terest as low as possible, and embody-
ing in the system every advantage that
could be given to those who sought TO
make loans, it was found 10 be so ef-
fective that it soon gained the imperial
sanction, and IL was not long until its
managers were made public officials
under the direction of the minister of
the interior. This Is substantially the
status of the institution at this time.
The rates are so low that the business
done on the cheap goods and chattels
of the poor could not possibly make the
establishment self-sustaining; but peo-
pie who have been suddenly reduced
in ncircumstanceso orwho are temporarily
embarrassed, keep the margins on the
right side and enable the institution to
keep open without the aid of a subsidy.
in the year 1893 total of S66,015 ar
ticles were pledged, and of these s4s,-
5G2 were redeemed, a remarkable re-
demption as compared with the proper
tons of the average pawnshop. The
unredeemed pledges we're sold by pub
lie auction and whenever they brought
more than the face of the pledge the
balance was set to the account of the
pledger. to be refunded any time with

The Picture Presented on "A Big Canal
Boat Tied Up over sunday.
Tied alongside bulkhead in the Har-
lem river was a big canal boat. In the
stable at one end stood three horses
munching hay out of their manger, says
the New York Sun. The deck over the
horses, forming the roof of their stable,
was u foot or two, or maybe more than
that. higher than the surrounding deck,
and it was open all around, so that the
breeze blew through freely. 1t was a
hot day, but the horses were in the
shade, in place where they could get
the air il they could get it anywhere;
then they had plenty TO eat, and they
were apparently as comfortable as
horses could be.
Down at the other end of the boat an
other scene presented itself. There an
awning had been stretched over the
deck from side to side, aft of the cabin.
1t was a Sunday. Under this awning,
in a comfortable rocking-chair, sat the
canal boats captain, reading q news
paper. Here, too, sat the captains
wife, reading a book. Under the avn
ing. stretching from the cabin door,
they sat as on q veranda in front of n
house on shore. and quite as much at
home. 1t would have been difficult to
find a more comfortable spot, and, in
deed, the boat was picture of comfort
for man and beast.

His HencoOp strnddIes the Line De-
tween Arizona and Mexico.
There is a funny case of international
honesty down in Arizona, just on the
line between that territory and Mexico.
says the Washington Times. A Yam
kee farmer lives there, one Amasa Bar
row by name. and it is his business to
raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap
in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices
in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mex
leo and bring them across the boun-
Diary, or TO buy the feed and bring it
across, would involve the payment of
n considerable duty, which would eat
the profits about as fast as the hens
could eat the corn. AS for smuggling.
that was not TO be thought of.
Amasa is q Yankee. and he is so hon
est that his neighbors say he wouldn't
take advantage OF a man in a horse
trade. But he is also full of Yankee
ingenuity, and after deep cogitation
he built a long, slim hencoop, one-half
of it in Arizona and the other in Mexico.
On the line there is n gate. Over the
line there are barns containing feed.
At feeding time the gate is opened, and
the chicken fancier Shoes his flock into
Mexico, where they eat their meal.
Then he Shoes them back TO the protec-
tion of the American flag, where they
digest this Mexican grain, lay their
eggs and carry on their family affairs
Mr.. Barrow saves about so per cent.
on his grain, and makes about that
much on his chickens, and if there IS
any smuggling done it done by the
innocent and irresponsible biddies.

BIundcr of n Physician That Caused

Several victims of an accident were
taken to the hospital one day lately,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Two of
them were thought TO be seriously hurt.
A mans who may be called Smith, was
badly cut and bruised, and internal in
juries were feared. lie had bad heart,
and had not regained consciousness
when the ambulance reached the hos
lpital. An inferno felt his pulse. and,
carefully pushing back the lid of one
of the eyes, gazed earnestly at it.
Poor fellow, there's no hope for
him." he announced. The pupil of his
eye is greatly dilated. and that's sure
sign where there is heart trouble"
A little later one of Smiths friends
called at the hospital and inquired about
him. The young physician repeated
what he had said before. explaining
the method by which he arrived at his
conclusion.
(Which eye was it you looked at2"
queried the friend.
"The right eye"
"Well, there's a popularity about
Smiths right eye"
