Gift Of Valuable Franchise.

Milwaukee, Aug. 27-The common
council last night passed an ordinance
granting franchise to the Milwaukee,
Burlington & Lake Geneva railroad to

Boston, Mass, Aug. 27.-Open air
camps for consumptives will be pitched
turnout this section and scattered thru
out the country If the plans of a Boston
scientist are realized. The first of these

Iconsumptiyes of all stages to join the
campers, and says the worse the case
the better. He expects the first camp to
prove his theory. and is preparing to ex-
tend the movement as the number OF
patients increases.
This first camp (and each succeeding
camp will be like iD will consist of ten
piano box" tents arranged in circle,
with an open air fire in the center and
surrounded by a duck wall eight feet
high.
Each of these tents will be con-
sumptive's home; a consumptive will
s.eep there even thru the coolest
weather with no other protection than
plenty of felt blankets, felt sleeping
boots and two-gallon jug of hot water
The tents are made of twelve-ounce

four-foot walls boxed in around the bot

The bill of fare will include milk,
eggs. vegetables, bread and butter,
meat, chiefly beef, mutton, or pork

This open life is expected to cure the
disease. The method is the result OF ex-
periments made last winter in tent on
Huntington avenue by a scientist whose

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The three officers
of the detective bureau nf the city police
department VINO are charged with de-
frauding the city by means of fictitious
expense accounts We're put on trial yes
terday before the civil service commits
sion. The accused officers are Lieut..
Peter j. Joyce. Detective Sergeant John
C. Cramer and Detective John j. Tracy.
The charges against them were pre-
ferred by Chief of Police O'Neill, who
was recently put at the head of the de-
partment. The case of Joyce was taken
up first and the board went into the
matter of the expense accounts for the
return of prisoners, Lovece and Larkins,
from Cleveland last May.
After w. H. Eubanks. chief clerk in
the state auditors office at SPRING
field, had identified the requisition pa
lpsrs and check for $3.50 which Tracy
lad received in bringing back Larkins
Tracy was called before the board. Tho
he proved an unwilling witness, the cor
poration counsel drew out considerable
discriminating testimony against Lieut..
Joyce and Detective Sergeant Cramer.
Tracy testified that he and Cramer
had been assigned to run down the man
Larkins who was charged with horse
stealing. and that they were finally mo-
titled that the man was under arrest in
/ Cleveland. He admitted that they die
mot go after Larkins, but arranged with
Policeman Gallagher. who was in Cleve-
4 land after the prisoner Lovece, to bring
both men back Pressed further by the
attorneys. Tracy admitted that he ha
signed and presented the messengers

complained that Lieut.. Joyce. desk of
ficer of the detective bureau, made ou
the expense accoun. and attached TIN
notary's seal. A moment later, he said
he got the check and cashed it.
What did you do with the money!
Tracy was asked
His attorney advised him not to an
swer, and the witness said:
II do not wish to answer because 1
might incriminate me-"
Continuing, Tracy said:
Joyce told me that it was the regu
lar thing for an officer to bring bacl
another mans prisoner and to put in al
extra expense account for it,
Chief O'Neill has charged that tn
money illegally obtained was divide
among the accused officers. Presse
further, Tracy explained that he ha
given Cramer s27. He admits that thi
amount covered the actual expense Q

the remainder of the sum received fror

was to be divided. He said he had re
ceived $4S.S0 and that he still had it.

Treasures in Royal Carrots.

London. Aug. 27.-The overhauling to
which the various royal palaces are be-
ing subjected, by order of King Edward,

month was made public in Justice
Gildersleeve's court yesterday when
the district attorney resisted a motion
to quash the indictment. Part Of this
evidence had not come out before.
Isaac B. Mickey, secretary of the
Eureka Fire Hose company, testified
that Scannell said the hose froxe in
winter and refused to buy any more of
it, Then the company employed Geo.
Scannell, brother of the commissioner,
made contribution of $1,000 to Scan
nells Seneca club, and sold $500 feet
of hose to the city; paid Richard Crok-
er's nephew, Mccain, a commission of
$1,000 and sold 1000 feet more of hose
to the city; employed him again and
sold $4,000 feet more. Mccain refused
a check and took his commission in
cash.
Next time the company employed
Thomas F. Gilroy, Jr., and 5000 feet
more of hose was sold to the city. Gill
roy's commission was $3.50.
According to the evidence Chief Bon
ner used to deal directly with the man
ufacturers in negotiating supplies, but

himself out as able to sell goods to the
fire department, and merchants. in a
quandary, went to Mr.. Scannell and
asked which was the proper agent.
Commissioner Scannell said he would
do no business with Cassell. The mer-
chants threw Cassell over and did bust

Evidence to this effect was given by
Charles t. Silsby. treasurer of the
American Fire Engine company, and
Colonel E'alk, of Elmira, representing

off Sandy Hook.
The cup challenger left anchorage at
1880 under mainsail, jib, staysail, baby
jib topsail, and working gait topsail,
and with a light breeze from the north
east stood out for Sandy Hook light
ship, conveyed by the steam yacht Erin.
Sir Thomas Upton, Designer G. L.

o fthe Royal Clyde Yacht Club We're on
board. as was Navigator John Hamil-
ton.
AS soon as the yacht reached point
about mile south of the lghtship the
baby jib topsail was taken in and a
larger one hoisted. This was substituted
in ten minutes for q still larger one,
then big, reaching jib topsail was set,
and finally a ballooner. All of these
looked we'll. fitted WELL and seemed to
do God work while they were set.
The water was absolutely smooth all
day and the yacht slipped along at five
knot gait, making little fuss at the bow
whenever there was wind enough to fill
all its sails. There was muchSdisappoint-
ment because Capt. Sycamore did not
send up club topsail, but Sir Thomas
explained later that new club topsail
and other sails We're expected by the
steamship st. Paul. which arrived Sun
day. The tug Lawrence was sent to the
city for them. but it had not returned
at shutdown.
AT 2:40, when the balloon lib topsail
wac sent up in stops, and broken out, a
light breeze came out of the southeast.
The yacht swung around to the port
tack, the great main boom was eased
broad-off to starboard. and under the
influence of the new breeze the yacht
began, for the first time, to move off at
a decent gait. Trimmed just right to
catch every breath of the now freshen-
ing wind, the enormous ballooner
cleaned like white silk in the sunlight,
in strange contrast to the big yellow
mainsail. The yacht as it travelled Gre
ated scarcely a ripple in the absolutely
smooth water.
For an hour and twenty minutes
Shamrock sailed straight course for
the point off Sandy Hook. scarcely a
rope being touched during that time by
the crew. 1t was stemming strong
ebb tide, SO made slow progress. At 4:05
it's ballooner was taken in and at 5:15 it
was given tow line by the Erin and
brought to its mooring buoy in the bay.

Petty. Strain treated him with scant
respect himself when the general wasn't
around and had been heard to Say that
generals who allowed their wealthy rel

The general has told me the message

But that was something Colonel
Strain was destined not to know for
many year, if indeed he ever heard.
There came a knock at the door. A
servant entered with a card. "The lady,
sir, begs to see the general at once, if
only for five minutes.
The general frowned as he took the
card. What lady could be calling at 10
o'clock at night and demanding inter-
views when he was SO much occupied?
But his face changed as he read, then
glanced up at his chief of staff.
''This is remarkable, Strain. The

servant.

the two sisters. Only within that
year had their book of Hymns and
Anthems been published, and the
hymn that was destined to inspire the
world had been beard but once or
twice, and within the walls of a single
church--South Palace Chapel, London.
1t was not, however, until after the
year 1860, when the present we'll
known tune was composed for it by
DR.. Lowell Mason, of New York, that
the hymn attained its widespread
popularity. Up to that time it had
attracted but little notice. Through
the spirit of Doctor Mason's sy mpa-
thetic music it was quickened into
glorious life and brought within the
reach of every congregation and
every Christian soul. But this was
long after the author of the hymn had
passed away. She died in 1913, with
out knowing of the triumph and the
glory that awaited her work. Her
grave in the little village of her birth
is unmarked by any monument to her
