FELL ON TIE POLICEMAN.
Eve gcrRppers Gt a Ball Meet With
Curious Accident.

Chanceman Nolan of the Seventh street
station saved the lives of two men in a
peculiar manner this morning and nearly
lost his own life in doing so. Nolan went
on duty at midnight at National Hall, on
Brunswick street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, where a tough ball was in
progress. =
All went well until five o'clock this
morning when some one yelled police.
Nolan, who was standing at the entrance
of the place, rushed for the stairs. He
was going through the hallway when sud-
denly his helmet was damned down over
his face and he was knocked to the
ground with terrific force. He was
stunned for a second by the fall. When
he recovered it was to find two men fight
ing like demons on top of him and to
hear a cry from the crowd
Look out for the knife; he'll stab you
Nolan jumped to his feet and separated
the men. Then he searched them for
knives. One of them had a short stick
which the crowd had mistaken for a
knife. When he had stopped the hight

that Connors and another man entered

went back to the dance. Steffelli followed
them and demanded that Connors should
pay for the doughnuts. This Connors re
fused to do and the two got into a fight.
Connors forced the baker against the rail-

DRUNKEN COPS ON TRIAL
Hoboken Policemen Try to
Explain Very Serious
Charges.

The Hoboken Police Commissioners
were surprised at their meeting yesterday
afternoon when charges of drunkenness
were read against two more members of
the force. Only a week ago Policeman
Kirschner was cited to appear before the
Board to answer the serious charge OF
entering a saloon while on duty. Mayor
Pagan, who is chairman of the Board,
announced that Kirschner's trial was
postponed for two weeks owing to the
absence Of his counsel. VIM. S. Stuhr.
Captain Hayes preferred charges against
Policeman John Condor, who was found
drunk In a drug store at Willow avenue
and Fourth street. in full uniform. on the
afternoon of Friday, November 4. Con-
don was relieved from duty at seven
o'clock in the morning, but instead of
going to his home he visited a number OF
saloons in the Fourth ward. He was
picked up in a drunken condition at
Fourth and Clinton streets and assisted to
the drug store by Sergeant Rathjen and
Policemen John Garrick and William G.
Weeks. He remained there for fully half
an hour before he recovered sufficiently
to be taken to his home. Condor was
cited to appear before the Board and

Charges were also preferred by Sergeant

tering A.. Lange's saloon at No, 100 VIII

find a side window open in D. z. rom

AUTuMN's YELLOW AND GOLD.
What II Botanist Knows and Does
MOI Know Abeut Csler Changes.

Probably not one person in a thou
SAND knows just why leaves change their
color in the fall remarked an eminent
botanist the other day to areporter for
the Washington Star" TT green mat
ter in the tissues Of a leaf is composed
of two colors-red and blue. When the
sap ceases to flow in the autumn the
natural growth of the tree Is retarded
and oxidation of the tissues takes place.
Under certain conditions the green of the
leaf changes to red; under different as
poets it takes on a yellow or brown hue.
The difference in color is due to the diff
ference in combinations of the original
constituents of the green tissues and to
the varying condition of climate, expo
sure and soil. A dry, hot climate pro-
IS damp and cool. This is the reason
that American ~auturans are SO much
more gorgeous thar those of England
and Scotland.
There are several things about leaves,
however, that ever science cannot ex-
plain. For instance, why n of two
trees growing side by side, of the same
age, and having the same exposure,
should take on a brilliant red in the fall
and the other should turn yellow, or
why one branch of a tree should be high
~ colored and the rest Of the tree have
only a yellow tint are questions that are
as impossible to answer as why one mem
Der Of a family should be perfectly
healthy and another siekly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest cOlorS.
People should be careful not to touch
the gorgeous red and yellow autumn
leaves or shrubs and climbing plants
which are known to be harmless. Our
two poisonous native plants display the
most brilliant autumnal colors of any
species in our woods and highways. The
poisonous sumach resembles a group of
Young ash trees. The poisonous ivy re-
sembles the harmless woodbine. Its
leaves, however, have but three leaflets,
