SCARF PIN COLLECTION.
Ode Pad of Some Prominent New York
Society Men.

Society Men.
Collectors OF scarf pins--or tie pins,
to be more correct-are one of the
fads Of New York men. The recent
robbery Of Paul Gilbert Thebaud by
his valet revealed that Mr.. Thebaud
was one who cultivated this hobby.
One Of the largest collections Of the
kind was left some years ago by jim
ME" Wood, an eccentric bachelor, well
known in New York society, who lived
at the old New York hotel Mr.. Wood
left nearly 500 pins, which were dis
tributed to various friends. He was a
bachelor and native Of Baltimore.
His hair and whiskers were fiery red,
and Sor a long time he dyed them,
making them almost supernatural and
Mephistophelean in their effect. Sud-
denly he gave up the deception, and
afterward appeared with snow-white
hair and side appendages. He was al
ways in love with the last society
beauty, but he would never propose.
and he took deepest umbrage if any Of
them married. To one daughter of a
socially prominent family, a famous
beauty still, he had left. a large sum
in his will. On her marriage, however,
he managed to change the amount OF
zeroes and the punctuation point so
that her dowry from him fell from
thousands to hundreds-not being in
clined to further express his dissat-
isfaction in a legal codicil.
William Cutting and Center Hitch
cock have collections of the pins al
most as extensive as is that Of Mr.
Thebaud. Many Of these were given
them at weddings at which they were
ushers.

Ialo.yuer.el.. Of A..Aor..

Those who suppose that the work of
authorship is easy may be interested
to learn some OF the expedients re-
sorted to by distinguished men of let
tiers. With strong and vigorous men
like Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a
walk is sufficient to stimulate ideas;
the weak. on the contrary, like Des-
cartes and Leibnitz, find their inspir-
alton lying down. Cujas usually wrote
living on his stomach. Rossini and
Ambrose Thomas were inspired only
when in bed. Chateaubrisnd used to
dictate to his secretary while walking
barefooted up and down his chamber.
Bossouet wrapped his head in warm
linen, Balzac wore a monks eowl and
Gautier a red dressing gown. II is said
that without his scarlet jacket NJ.
Francois Coppee could not write. Lord
Derby when writing filled his mouth
with cherry brandy, Fenimore Cooper
sucked gum and Pierre Lott has re-
course to perfumes.

EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS.
Notable Find in Egypt Which May Solve
a Texed Question.

Notable Find in Egypt Which May Solve
Texed Question
The history OF the extinct members
OF the elephant order has always prov
ed of interest because of the associa-
ton of primitive man as a contempt
rary of the mammoth. Older elephants
than this big furred elephant are
known TO science, and among them
stand out very prominently the masto-
dons.
One of the unsolved points regarding
elephant history in the past has been
the nature Of the links, which on the
evolution theory are bound to exist by
way OF connecting these giant Great
ures with their ancestors. says the
London Chronicle DR.. C. W. Andrews
has been making a notable find in
Egypt. such as may serve to supply the
gaps and to produce the missing
links" in the elephant chain of descent.
He has found the fossil remains Of
an animal which, while smaller than
the mastodons, is evidently closely re-
lated to them on the one side. Beyond
this comes another fossil find of still
more primitive elephant that takes US
back in the family history to the
hoofed qusdrupeds This last form
may come to be regarded as the point
OF departure of the elephant branch of
the mammalian tree. The British Au-
scum will probably be duly enriched
by the exhibition of these primitive
types Of elephant life

CRAC BLOWN over
Street and Water Commits
sioners Nearly Struck By
the Huge Boulder.

The Board of Street and Water Com
irissioners yesterday went to Boonton
and looked over the work being done on
the new water works. Rain rather marred
the trip and made it impossible to go
over the ground with that thoroughness
the Board would like to use. The party
included Commissioners Heintze, Sullivan,
lIauek and Nolan, Supervising Engineer
Garwood Ferris and Assistant Engineer
James P Hall.
The trip was very interesting as 1t
was. So set are the contractors on fin
ishing up the works that great many men
were employed where it was possible for
them to work under the rain In one
place about thirty men were busy shifting
great rocks preparatory to the carting Of
them to the dam site. just above these
men was a great boulder that was be-
coming undermined. A high wind blew
up and the overhanging boulder came
crashing down into the pit. 1t weighed
about a ton and sent the workmen scat
tering. Several barely escaped The re-
port caused by the crash was like the eA-
plosion of cannon. This incident made
the visitors step about rather gingerly,
but there was no mishap.
The principal object OF the visit was. to
inspect the preparation OF concrete DGt
this was not done.
Sub-Contractor Qualey explained every
thing to the visitors and said he ed
that he would be little ahead of the
point in the work anticipated for June l.
Weather conditions have been good ana
work has been pushed hard; The visitors
and are more hopeful than ever OF the
completion OF the work on time.

The price of coal in this city will be

This is done because of the advance Of

coal dealers were therefore compelled to
put up their prices. but think that 81 is a

have been made today. but there are

who had to be notified.
There will be plenty of growls and kicks

There may be some comfort in the state
ment that the coal dealers believe this t

then down will go the prices to their

MURRAY
EXPELLED
United Presbyterian Church
Elects Its Disturbing
Member.
PASTORCHIEF OPPONENT
Dr.. Henry Snarting Under
His Arrest, Declares MUIR
ray Violated His
Pledge.
PASTORCHIEP OPPONENT

The row in the First United Presbyter-
ian Church. at Sip and Tonnele avenues,
which has been In progress since the lat
ter part of April. eliminated last night
in the expulsion Of Donald Murray, the
member who was responsible for all the
trouble AS was explained, Murray OBJ
jeeted to the playing of piano at the
prayer meeting which he was to have led,
and when Miss Deborah Henry, the
daughter of the pastor, the Rev. Andrew
Henry. D. D.. began playing, Murray at
tempted to smash the piano.
A fight followed and Murray was
roughly handled. He was almost stran-
gled and claims to have been severely
beaten by the pastor and his supporters.
The pastor and two of the members Rob
ert A. Bell and Robert Bell, were arrested
and charged with having assaulted Muir
ray At the trial the pastor was dis
charged, but the Bell boys were found
guilty and sentence was suspended.
The expulsion of Murray last night by
the Church Session was brought about BY
the pastor, who charged Murray with
violating his pledge as a member. Murray
was tried by the Session Friday night.
Pastor Henry examined thirty of his own
witnesses, but Murray put in no defense.
He said he did not believe the Session
was the proper body to try him. The
Session met again last night in the
church Every member was present For
over an hour the case was discussed.
Every member of the Session expressed
his opinion. Some of the members were
disposed to prosecute Murray and have
him bound over to keep the peace
After more discussion it was decided
to expel Murray and a vote was taken to
that effect The decision of the Session
was unanimous. Clerk H. K. Means was
instructed to notify Murray Of the de-
cision of the Session.
Murray intends to appeal to the Pres
bytery at the first opportunity. He says
he does not care to be kicked out with
out making fight and the Presbytery Is
the proper body to hear the case
Serious trouble win doubtless follow the
action Of the Session. Murray has a large
following and these members will support
Murray in his fight. If he is finally forced
out by the refusal of the PreshFtery to
hear his case, these members Will leave,
too
Pastor Henry could not be seen this
morning. Trustee John Means consented
to talk and said that Murray was justly
Murray was foolish in causing the pas
tors arrest and subjecting him to such
humiliation" said he. Murray has been
wrong from the very start We are all
glad that the case has been disposed OF.
All of the trustees saw at once that Mur-
ray was in the wrong.
