SPRING VALLEY BOYS
OUT SEEING THE WORLD,

Five boys were picked up on Twen-
ty-eighth street by Officer Carlson
about midnight last night. They
were about Is years of age and
claimed to have run away from their
homes in Geneseo yesterday.
At the police station they registered
as Sam aud Dan Mclaughlin, William
Baxter, John Jentz and Thomas Mo-
ran. This morning Chief Darnell
cross questioned mbers of the par
ty and finally secured a confession
that they hailed from Spring Valley.
They said they were employed in the
collieries there. and that, being out of
work temporarily, they were out see
ing the world. Officer Thode led
them out and showed them a road
leading toward the land of the rising
sun.

A Historic Throne.

The biggest episcopal throne in Eu-
rope is at the Exeter cathedral. Com
posed OF the very best oak. with mag
nifieent carving executed by the most
expert designers of the day, the throne
scars upward in beautiful tapering pin
nacles, which rise up to the lofty roof
of the sacred ediice. The throne is
not only the biggest, but one of the
Oldest 1t was saved from destruction
by the Puritans by the ingenuity of the
Cavaliers, who when the Roundheads
marched on Exeter pulled down the
thrcne and divided it into 365 pieces
one for every day of the year. The
pieces were safely secured in many
hiding places. and when peace was re
stored the pieces were put together
again without the aid of a single nail.

HOW QUAILS HIDE.
Although the Man Could Not See the
Bird the Pup Was Right.

Alt0s buEh the Man Could Not See the
Bird the Pup Was Right.
We are all more or less inclined to
dispute the unusual incidents reported
by observant brother sportmen and if
persuaded will excuse the bigotry
shown by saying, 81 never saw any
such thing" The claim has been
made that a quail will lay a dead leaf
over It's back whom laying close in
the woods. and this l have always
thought an appropriate extract from a
pretty fairy tale and pitied any one
who could be gulled by such n very
transparent fable.
One day while hunting quail a covey
flushed wild and scattered in the
woods. My companion took the old
dog and the pup, and we proceeded
to beat up the cover. The first point
the pup made was at the foot of a
small tree, where the trees stood thick,
but where the ground was stony and
was covered only with thin patches of
dead leaves.
Taking the direction of the dogs
eyes, l passed close by his head and
brushing by the tree at the foot of
which he stood. walked on 10 or 10
feet. but flushed nothing.
Going back to the dog, / carefully
took the direction of his eyes and look
ing closely discovered sitting between
the roots of the tree within span of
my foot the bird, and lying we'll over
its back was large dead oak leaf
placed in such a manner as to convince
me beyond all shadow of doubt that
the bird had placed it there.
My reputation for veracity is fairly
good, but l wish that pup could also
make n statement in this case, for he
and I were the only witnesses of this.
TO me, strange and interesting Incl
dent.

The shah of Persia once asked a
group of his eourtiers whom they
thought the greater man, himself or
his father. At first he could get no re-
ply to so dangerous a question, the an
swer to which might cost the courtiers

The white House.

According to tho Washington de-
spatches. Mir. ROOSEVELT has decided
that, during his Administration the
official name of the Presidents house
shall be the white House The
name Executive Mansion seems "a
little pompous, not to say absurd. and
White House" the natural name on
every Americans tongue, Is simple
and in better taste. Mansion is n
p%rctenuous and sorely overused word;
and how a mansion can bc executive
nobody knows. II Chief Justice FULLER
had an official residence. would 1t be
called the Judicial Mansion
The White House Is a fine and digni-
fed building The common name Of II
is fine and dignified enough. Mr.. RoosE-
WELT is content with the building and
he does not sympathize with those am
bilious architects who would like 10
make II into a m~onstrositv. The White
House is all right, even II It is a little
short in the matter of bedrooms, and is
popular name IL the best and fttest.

A Valuable Artillery Report

Something valuable Is always 60 be

that the School Of National Defence, Ga

Secretary Roor's administration, may
develop this idea Of Col. SToRY's.
The Inspector dwells on the import
ance Of artillery representation ON the
boards dealing with the selection Of ar

and draws a comparison between tho
attitude 81 the Engineers and hat 81
the Ordnance Department toward tho

what brooklyn Tells OF Manhattan

The suppression OF the party text
book issued for this campaign by the
Kings county Democrats, does not sup
press its evidence from the very inner
circle Of Democratic politics against
the existing municipal administration.
Inasmuch as what II affirmed or de-
MED Of Brooklyn is necessarily under
the circumstances denied or affirmed
OF New York. this suppressed textbook
contains accusations Of the most sensa-
tional sort against Tammsny.
For example. we know that the Police
Department OF the borough Of Manhat-
tan has been marked with scandal,
because 1.-THE Police Department OF the
borough OF Brooklyn has been ~singularly
free" from it.
We know that charges against tlIs Man
haitian officials Of partnership with gam
blors. poolroom keepers and the pro-
prietors Of disorderiy houses are of
public record, because mo n has
dared "a accuse Mr.. YORK. the Brooklyn
Police Commissioner of such offence.
We suspect that in the Brooklyn Dem
ocratic opinion these charges are true;
otherwise why such Boosting OF Mr.,
YoRK's innocence?
We know that the borough Of Man
haitian is afflicted with evils, because
Mr.. yoRK's efforts have been directed
toward keeping Brooklyn, at least,
free from them"
We know that the Democratic organ
ization Of Manhattan must have been in
favor Of vice. for Nj Works. efforts
in opposition have been upheld by tho
Democratic organization OF Kings
county"
We know that in Manhattan there Is
"a chain OF poolrooms.' protected
by the police" for the reason that there
was an effort to extend tho system 20
Brooklyn.
We know that both police arsl polit-
ical pulls " were back Of this vstem,
for Mr.. YORK was compelled to fight
them" 10 ave Brooklyn. He threw
down the gauntlet to both police Off
cials and politicians and the fight
was long and earnest
We know that IN Manhattan there
must b. m alliance between vice and
the police because Mr.. York has
from tho outset set his face hard
against " IL.
Even II a copy OF this remarkable
indictment Of Tammany's government
In never seen again, its declarations
