MAY CAUSE A Big ROW.
Free silver Democrats Making Allie
cations Against the New Police
f.nu,mf f~~ SOnara

COnimtsstOner1.,s
BY reason of the fact that the commits
sions of william C. Scarritt and r. l..
Gregory. who have been appointed and
confirmed as police commissioners, have
not been received by them, M A. F'yke and
Frank G. Johnson are still in control OF
the department and Henry S. Julian is
still chief of police. Messrs. Fyke and
johnson are anxious to turn over their
offices to their successors, but 1t IS diner
ent with Chief Julian. He intimates that
the new commissioners will not get him
out of Office as speedily as Is generally eX-
pected What course he will take to retain
the office after his official decapitation he
will not say but it is certain that he thinks
he can hold the office until such time as
he decides to give 1t up ..-
In order to bring about the proposed re-
generation of the force. MessrS. Scarritt
and Gregory will be compelled to ignore
the commissions issued to many Of the
officers and patrolmen whom they intend
to oust in order to, make room for other
men The regular reorganization of the
who were then appointed were commits
stoned for three years. To get rid of these
men it will be necessary to remove them
for the good of the service" as was done
moved sixteen Republicans. The fact that
the new commissioners and their friends
want TO get rid of men who are now wear
ing police stars and are anxious to give
their places to, others, will doubtless be
considered good and sufficient reason for
issuing an order reciting that the service
will be greatly improved by decimating
the ranks of the present force.
The information given out by the men
who are about to succeed Commissioners
Fyke and johnson that there will be a
thorough police reorganization has caused
dozens OF men who are now in private life
to apply for blank applications for mem
bership on the force. Among the appli-
cants are several of the men who were
dismissed by the two Democratic members
of the present police board. They are snx-
ious to again become guardians of the
public peace. Some of these men are not
likely to receive appointments from Messrs.
Scarritt. and Gregory. for two reasons. The
first Is that they are Republicans and the
second is that they are members of an
organization that is not in favor with the
ruling Democratic element in this city.
There Is certain to be trouble between
the factions of the local Democracy over
the appointments to fill the vacancies that
will be made by the removals. The trouble
is likely to extend to jefferson City and
spread all over the state of Missouri. Men

was compelled to put into Cretan port to

A dispatch to the Times from Athens
says the Epheme-is recalls the kings
declaration that he would put himself at
the head of the Greek race if Greece were
coerced. and adds that nothing has yet
happened to modify that decision.
Athens, March a.-The Greek. government
is about to address another protest to the
powers against the blockade of the Island
of Crete. and formal Reputation of all
the responsibility for any consequences to
which it may give rise. The newspapers
which represent the ministerial opposition
in the Boule denounce the proposal of
autonomy under Prince George as be-
trayal of Hellenic interests.
1t is now believed in official circles that
the powers will shortly enforce coercion
measures against Greece: collective note
has been addressed to the government de-
manding the recall of the Greek troops
from the frontier and threatening that. IN
the event of the refusal Of Greece to COM
ply with this demand. the powers will
blockade the Greek ports near the frontier.

Set.BaCk.

Last winter when we published the article 1.-The Rise of Set Back" many people took the whole matter as joke, but really developments show that we were not far from right. Setback has been the game in Canaan this winter, clubmen have played it with persistency, card parties have used it. family gather ings have played it, company has been invited in for the evening to see what they knew about setback. old ladies have whiled away the evenings over the game, and the young misses have shown their wonderful instinct to catch Jack i've mean the knave) and really think it just mean that everyone else tries to keep the game away from them.
 Don't imagine that setback is pecu- liar to Canaan alone for the game has been quite in favor all around the country, it has been played on the trains, and the May Munsey's states that the game has been feature oi metropolitan card parties, only they call it retrogressive slapiack.

Farmers should look out for a smart chap who is going about with a patented blow share. He does business on the note scheme, and makes fat catch wherever he is dealt with.-Do- yer Plains Review.
 The finest boquet of tulips that we have seen this year came from the gar den of Mrs Frederick Miles, of Twin Lakes. There were many varieties and colors. Said boquet adorned the Pill grim church last Sunday.
 Contributions of flowers for the soldiers graves in the lower cemetery may be left at G. l.. Parsons < Sons store until 1O.45 a. m. on Saturday when the flowers will be taken to tn e cemetery and delivered to the G. A. R. Post on it's arrival there.
 -E. J. Lorrain suffered terribly with quinsy until Sunday night when the swelling broke. For many years he has been attacked with the quinsy twice a year. Those who are familiar with quinsy say they never saw a person have it in such severe form as MT Lor- rain does.
 Tt has been suggested that it would meet long felt want if the selectmen would secure the use of plot of worth less land not far from the village. where people could dump their old tomato cans, bottles and other refuse. The suggestion seems good one.
 During the past week the path leading from this village past the lower cemetery to Pine Grove Camp Ground has been put in good condition for bi- cycle riding. Now it is possible to reach Pine Grove by this route and re- turn via. Belden street and Church street, or ride in either direction.
 -Messrs I. P. Hornbeck and J. H. Belden, of Falls Village, know good thing when they see it. They saw the Memorial Day supplement of the NEWS was good thing. and they siezed the opportunity to advertise in it. We trust that you also know good thing when you see it, md that you will not neglect the opportunity to secure the bargains which Messrs Hornbeck and Belden are now offering.

A Legal Problem.

A curious little problem in law and ethics came up for solution the other day at Hazleton, Pa. A man was ar- rested there for practicing medicine without having been registered, as the law of Pennsylvania and most other states requires. He confessed his guilt and admitted that he was we'll acquaint- ed with aud approved cf the regulation he had violated. Then he proceeded to assert and to prove by documentary evil denoe that he had been graduated from the Medical school of St Petersburg university and had practiced in the Rus sian capital for years He was therefore quite eligible for registration In this country, but on reaching Hazleton he had found himself penniless and with. out friends. After he, his wife and his three children had gone hungry for sew eral days he determined to risk impris- onment in order to supply the wants of his family and incidentally to earn enough money to pay the registers fee. Immediate denunciation and arrest fol- lowed Investigation showed that the mans story was true in every partic- ular His wants were supplied, and he is now openly and successfully follow ing the profession the practice of which had made him technical criminal. Now, admitting that this Russian could not have borrowed money to meet the laws requirements, perfectly admis- sible supposition, what was he to do2 Was or was not his offense necessary one2--New York Times.

Saved by the Cattle.

Cattle have not the reputation o4 great intelligence or heroism, but, from an instance cited by Mr. c. G. D. Rob- erts in volume of exciting tales en- titled Around the Campfire, 1t would appear that they do sometimes rise to an emergency. We abbreviate the narrative of an old farmer in the interior of New Brunswick.
 One afternoon my father had sent me and my little brother Teddy to bring in the cattle. We were about half way home with them when there came a long, queer, bowling sound from the other side of the clearing that nearly made my heart stop beating The cattle heard 1t, too, and two or three young heifers started to bolt, but the old ones promptly hooked them back Then, not quarter of mile away, we saw a pack of gray brutes dart out of the woods and make straight for us.
 What do you suppose the cattle didi The old COWS and the steers made reg ular circle, putting the calves, with me and Teddy, in the center. They stood with their heads out and horns down, like company of militia forming 9 square to receive charge of cavalry. The old black and white bull was run ming the affair.
 1T expect father'n hear the noise, and he and Bill"-the hired man Twill come with guns and save us, '" said Teddy.
 The wolves charged straight at the circle of horns. We heard the old bull humble something away down in his throat, and then one of his horns was through the belly of the leader. At this unexpected repulse the others drew back. After brief hesitation they returned and stole round and round the circle, looking for weak spot, On the other side from our champion there stood 2 nervous young COW. Suddenly wolf made rush upon her. She sprang aside, thus opening passage, by which the wolf rushed into the very center oi the circle, with his. fierce red eyes fas, tened upon Teddy.
 But the old bull had spotted him. Nimble as g squirrel, he bowled me and Teddy over like ninepins and was after the wolf, mumbling and grumbling away down in his stomach. He fixed the wolf Just at that moment father and Bill dashed up and snatched ua two youngsters into their saddles
