movement which swept over the United
States just prior TO the war of 1912?
It was. IN fact, contagious nervous
disease. which, for the want OF better
name, was called "the jerks" An early
New England writer who saw several
cases refers to this remarkable mani
festation as follows: The Jerks took
their name from the fact thar the whole
body was affected, and that in a most
singular fashion too. The arms and
legs would be thrown about. apparent

affected individual. Sometimes the
head would be thrown backward and

Louisville, KY, March l0.-A special
from Birmin CHAM, Ala, says: The
northbound express train No. on the
Louisville and Nashville road, due a;
Louisville at 1925 noon Wednesday.
was held up by six masked men near
Calera Tuesday morning. The train had
stopped at a water tank in the woods
when the men boarded the engine and
covered the engineer and firemen with
pistols and forced them 10 uncouple the
locomotive and express car from the re-
mainder of the train and run forward
half mile with II. Here four more
men were In waiting. The messenger re-
fused to open the car. when the door was
broken open, the messenger covered with
pistols and forced 10 open the safe. A
number OF packages of money were Sc
cured. The total amount is not known
but i is said to have been large A
posse is in pursuit of the robbers, having
gone from Birmingham on a special
train at o'clock this morning.
Birmingham, Ala, March I0.-Nothing
has yet been heard from Sheriff O'Brien
and deputies who have gone with blood
hounds 10 the scene of the hold-up on
the Louisville and Nashville last night
Details Of the robbery are meager
Two miles this side OF Calera train No
OF the Louisville and Nashville, due
here at 1922, was stopped by an armed
man who stood on the platform OF the
mail car and ordered the engineer, Sam
Galloway, to reverse his engine. When
the train came to a stop two miles away
the men told him 70 cut the engine loose
The men took the engineer with them TO
the express car. Messenger Norton was
ordered 10 open the door, which he did,
and the men went inside and secured
number of valuable packages. They es-
corted the engineer back to the engine,
made him couple up and ordered him 10
pull out. None OF the other coaches
were disturbed. The number OF men in
the affair is estimated at four to six and
the amount secured all the way from
$1,000 10 $4,000. The robbers, had dyna-
mite ami would have blown open the ex-
press car had the messenger refused to
open the door. All were disguised and
heavily armed.
This afternoon the sheriff's posse was
still in pursuit. The robbers, it had been
oiscoeered, are mounted.
This is the third hold-up in Alabama
within thre months. The Louisville and
Nashville officials in an official state
n'ent say that the amount of booty Sc
cured by the bandits was $1,000.

GARY'S "HEADSMAN"
Washington, March 10.-Postmaster
General Gary has not yet announced mis-
policy regarding either presidential or
h.
comes to definite decision as 10 wheth-
er postmasters will be allowed to serve
cut their terms, he win have a consulta-
ton with the president. AS all presi-
Dental postmasters are commissioned
for four years. little doubt is entertain
cd at the department that they will be
allowed 70 serve our their terms save in
exceptional cases where circumstances
may warrant early changes. Fourth
class postn;aSters are not commissioned
for four years. but are appointed to
serve at the pleasure Of the postmaste~
general The general practice of recent
administrations. however, has been TO
appoint tneir successors approximately
at the end of four-year periods. The
changes in these small offices, once be-
gun. are rapidly made. Beginning With
eX-Vice President Stevenson, who was
fourth assistant under Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration, the fourth assist
ant postmaster generals who have been
the official ''headsmen' of the fourth
class postmasters, have prosecuted the
work of changing these officials with
great vigor. 1t is not probable that the
changes will hepiO until a rau fourth
assistant is appointed. The general ex-
pectation is that the appointment Of the
successor Of Mr.. Maxwell, the present
incumbent, will DE made at an early
dale.

The chrysanthemum show opened
yesterday in the board of trade build
ing with great success. Several mama
gers Of the Home for the Friendless
were present to show courtesies TO
visitors. 1t is one of the finest ever
given i'm this region, many perfect
specimens of the flower of autumn
are to be seen and the general effect
among the tastefully arranged palms
of prodigious size. is very striking.
Many favorites of the other seasons
are to be noted and they are also sew
eral new varieties. The beautiful yel-
low Major Bonnefau" is perhaps one
Of those most admired but the Can

Gus Golden Wedding" and the

Not the least part of the exhibition
is the gorgeous array of cut flowers
for sale, as indeed are all the plants,
jardiniers, rugs. etc Many sales were
made yesterday Welchel furnished
lovely jardinieres and vases which add
much to the general display. Florists
Clark, McClntock, Palmer, and Morel
have been lavish with their flowers
and the Lawrence orchestra gave much
pleasure with it's music yesterday. To-
day Bauer will provide music.

enough to pay for the admission and
then it all goes for the Home which

BEFORE BREAKFAST. s

The custom of escorting prisoners
into the central police station through
the doorway leading to the cell room
on the alley side of the building is ad-
judged a nuisance by the patrolmen
They often have troublesome prisoners
in charge and do not like to take
chances in trying to unlock the outer
iron door or waiting until the electric
bell is answered by the desk sergeant,
who may be occupied in various ways.
The patrolmen want the door kept un-
locked, or they want to bring their
prisoners into the station from the
Mulberry street side of the building.
Until Chief Of Police Robling be-
came the executive head of the police
department the door to the cell room
was kept unlocked. But reporters then
had too ready access to the cells and,
it was claimed, knew too much about
what was going on in the police busi-
ness, and orders We're given to keep
the door locked. This was not so
much for the purpose of keeping pris-
oners within as it was to keep the
alert newsgatherer out The electric
push button is at present on strike.
Under these circumstances it is easy
TO imagine what kind of trouble a
blue-coat has to get a fighting and
drunken malefactor through an iron
barred and locked outer doorway and
the regular woodCs doorway.
Scranton is unique in it's original
police custom of dragging a prisoner
direct to a cell instead of leading him
first before the sergeant's desk, where
the charge should be made in the
prisoners presence. He should there
