JOHN SHERMAN,

John Sherman is dead The great
patriot, statesman, financier, he who
was a tower of strength to the nation
in many trying hours, is no more. At
an early hour Monday, at his home in
Washington, at the age of seventy
eight, quietly, peacefully he passed
away
For forty years and more the life
and services of John Sherman have
been interviewer with the events of
our country. AS Congressman, Sena-
tor, Secretary of the Treasury and
Secretary of State, he served long and
well-in fact no one ever occupied any
one of the positions named who stood
Que more prominently than did John
Sherman.
Monuments may be erected to his
memory, and although these shafts of
bronze and marble may corrode and
crumble when worn by the elements
of the years of time, his name and
good deeds will stand imperishable,
and will live enshrined in the hearts
of a grateful people.

Frankfort, KY, Oct 22.-The Ken
lucky Legislature sent the non-parti-
san election law, passed on Saturday
to Gov. Beckham today and adjourned
sine die. Democrats and Republicans
could not agree on the state Election
Commissioner to fill the vacancy on
the board, and adjourned without Sc
lecting anybody. Both houses adopt
resolutions Saturday allowing the Re
publicans to name the Commissioner
and they selected Judge Cochran OF
Maysville. The Democrats refused to
vote for Cochran because of his iden-
tification with Ex-Governor Taylor
and also because of his personal un-
friendliness with Chairman Poyntz, OF
the Election Committee, but offered to
vote for any other Republican. The
Republicans declined TO name anybody
else.

QUORUM OBTAINED
Board Of Health Meets and Awards Hight
Soil Contract 70 James Murphy.

After several failures to get quo
rum the necessary number of members
were secured last evening and the
Board of Health held its first meeting
for several weeks.
The following members were present
last night: Underwood, Mason,
Fischer, Spies, Sykes.
Mr.. Underwood, reporting for the
garbage committee, asked for more
time which would be used in selecting
a place outside the city limits for the
dumping and disposal of refuse and all
other garbage of Marietta.
The committee which was empower
ed to confer with James Murphy for
the disposal of night soil and other
Objectionable garbage whose removal
to a dumping ground is considered ad-
sivable by the Board, recommended
giving the contract to Murphy for a
period of two years under the follow
ing conditions:
Murphy is to receive sS per load for
garbage removed during the period. A
special officer should be appointed,
whose duty would consist in seeing
that the wagons, which are to hold 60
cubic feet of material, are filled while
work is being done by the contractor.
AS the committee recommended that
the exclusive right be given to Muir
ply, objection was made to the length
of time and the monopoly of the busi-
ness, which under the contract, will be
granted to Murphy.
Mr.. Underwood made the motion
that the contract be entered into and
subsequently be referred to the City
Council.
Mr.. Fischer offered the amendment
that the contract be in force only one
year instead of two as provided in the
contract.
The suggestion was made that
bond of $500 providing for the faithful
fulfllment of the provisions of the
contract be drawn up. The amend
ment and the suggestion both pre-
vailed.
The committee on Rlues asked for
longer time in which to make re-
search and report the result of their
august deliberations.
Several parties in the East End are
entering complaint about the abuse of
the old Rice sewer, at the corner of
Wayne and Pike streets. The motion
finally prevailed that all people using
the old Rice sewer be instructed by the
Sanitary Policeman to discontinue
their use of the sewer for sanitary
purposes or be dealt with according to
the law which is provided for such
cases.

Sfmu SITES Two Hearts.

--'-AA
An aged colored individual is making the
rounds Of the physicians offices and hos
pitals, exhibiting himself as a man with
TWO hearts. He also claims to be able to
displace his hearts into the abdominal cav
ity He has Travelled widely In this coun-
Try and has been in Europe. There is no
evidence Whatever that the man has two
hearts, nor is there any sign that an aneu-
ism exists When he Is about to 'adfslo-
cate his heart he asks the examiner first
to listen with the stethoscope or phonendo-
scope over the normal cardiac area for the
neart sounds. He then twists and comforts
hlnlsel1 III various ways, using actively the
muscles OF the anterior abdominal wall AS
he does this there is seen to rise suddenly
In the left 1llas region rounded pear
SNAPPED prominence, which Is pulsatile and
10 which he now asks the examiner To
apply the StethOscope. An obscure rhythmic
sound Is heard over the area, which is the
size of large fist and which CONVEYS to
the paipitating hand sensation of throb-
ping. lie can produce similar swelling
though less prominent, on the right side
with great show Of effort he holds the
prominence on one or the other side for
about twenty seconds. If the examiner, in
stead of listening over the supposed heart.
places his stethoscope in the normal situa-
ton of the valve points he readily detects
the heart sounds in practically undimin-
lshed intensity Moreover, percussion over
the supposed hearts gives a more or less
tympan1t1c note. The man has evidently by
long practice gained a peculiar control over
the superficial abdominal muscles-such as
some persons have over the scalp and ears
by means of which he Is able to throw
certain section into prominence and tn
produce rhythmic vibration that closely
Stimulates, both in character and rate the

Good Walkers.
rom the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
1t Is said that the best footmates of the
nineteenth century were William and Mary
Hewitt, the writer's Of so many charming
bits of literature. They began to walk on
their wedding day, and kept on walking
during nearly sixty years of married life.
In 1924, when walking was far from FASH
ionable, this sturdy Quaker pair walked 500
miles among the Scotch mountains. carrying
necessary luggage on their strong young
backs They climbed Ben Lomond, waded
streams, crawled over bogs, scrambled
through bracken and slid down sheer defiles
In the course Of this wild tramp. Doubtless
the peasants fancied they were mad.
In the fifty-first year Of their married life,
when Mrs. Hewitt was over seventy and
her husband almost eighty, they started out
one summer morning to climb an alp of the
Tyrol. From the village Of Taufers they
climbed q road too steep for vehicles, walk
ing steadily for five hours.
AT dusk they came to farmers chalet
there they were cordially invited to sup
per, and there for two nights they slept on
the sweet, fresh hay in the barn, and en-
ployed the days In twice climbing to the
mountain top.
An excursion which had been planned for
passed his eightfeth year. was reluctantly
abandoned because of the rain. A year or
two later his wife wrote:
Father and | have Just come in from
pleasant walk right into the country
amongst picturesque houses and such an
cient orchards and parklike fields scattered
over with grand old Spanish chestnuts.'.
Air. Hewitt died in 1879. aged eighty-fou
years. For few years more his faithful
footmate took quiet stroils and gathered
she had lived to see e!ghty-nine years she
gently fell asleep.

Use of Gold I'm the Arts,

The amount Of gold turned into coin each
year by the mints of the world is a mere
nothing to the huge quantity used in gild-
ing picture frames, painting signs, bind

pottery. The worlds entire stock of gold
Is about 1,100 tons, but of this 19O only ex-
lists in the form of coin.
The stock of coin is increasing by about
three and one-half tons year. Four tons
and half are minted, but a ton is lost by
waste. This Is a small item compared with
the 120 tons which jewelers. and glders use
up every year, and none of this vast amount
