RABBI MATHEWS WON CASE
AND KEPT THE BOOKS.
Amusing Case Before Judge Wilcox
This Morning in Which the Defend
ant Secured Nolle Prose-.

Solomon Mathews got his liberty and
what the Portuguese Educational Club
claims was their set of books, this
morning in the police court. The old
Rabbi was a defendant on a charge of
receiving stolen goods, 1t being alleged
that he had unlawfully kept a set of
Dickens works that had been stolen
from the Portuguese Educational Club
some time ago. Mr.. Noble the colored
attorney appeared for the defendant.
Noble who had had trouble with De-
putty High Sheriff ChillingwOrth yes
terday over the matter of the release
of Mathews on his own recognizance,
still smarted under the slight he con-
sidered had been put upon him, raised
the objection to Chillingworth appear
ing as prosecutor in the case. Noble
claimed that Chillingworth had no au-
thority under law to appear as prose-
cutor The point was not apparently
very clear to the court for it was
promptly overruled. The trial of the
case was then begun.
Louis Medeiros the president of the
Portuguese Educational Club testified
to the set of Dickens having been
stolen from the rooms of the club and
his seeing them in the store of Mathews
Mathews had refused to surrender the
books when told they had been stolen.
On cross examination, Noble asked
the witness if there was any particular
mark on the particular set, which
would notify the public that the books
had ben stolen or had belonged to the
Portuguese Educational Club The
witness was forced to admit that
there was nothing but a private mark
which any person might have put on a
similar set of books, on the books
found in the store of Mathews.
The prosecution then entered nolle
prose-, as II was evident that the
books had not been even Identified
Mathews who is very. deaf was inform
ed that he was a free man.
''I voult like to gay some ting en-
claimed the old Rabbi, and then en-
sued such an exhibition of gymnastlc
antics, as has seldom been seen in the
court room, as the old Rabbi gave an
imitation of the breathless and excited
way in which Medeiros had rushed inte
the store and claimed the books. The
imitation was cut short however, al
though Weber and Fields would prob
ably have given the Rabbi a cool $25C
week to have done the same stunt In
New York.
Come on" shouted Noble into Ma
thew's ear trumpet
"Oh vas, l vii come" answered tne
old man "but / wants my books
wants my books"
The prosecution could not claim the
books and neither could the Portuguese
society so the old man began to pack
the books to carry back to his shop
He tried to dispose of the set in the
court room until warned that he hac
better get away or he would be arrest
ed for using the court room as book
store The last seen of Mathews, he
was still talking with his hands ant
inviting the people to come next Oc-
tober and hear him speak.

CASH BALANCE DRAWN UPON.
Deficit of Over $4,000, 900 So Far for
the Month

Ellis H. Roberts. United States treasurer,
today directed the payment In New York
of 100000 deposited yesterday In the sub
treasury In San Francisco. Although a
small amount. the sum is expected to be
helpful in New York at this season of ner-
vousness over outgoing money to different
portions of the country. The money situa-
tion in New York has for some time been
an interesting one and is being watched
carefully by treasury officials. The treas
ury continues to have its cash balance
drawn upon by an excess Of expenditures
for the present month. Contrary to all
opinions, the present month is showing a
rapidly growing surplus, although the last
few days Of the month ought to wipe out
a large portion of the deficit So far this
month there has been deficit of 81. 562 929
quite out of the usual run of things. The
surplus for the fiscal year has also dwindled
by reason of the deficiency this month. and
so far this fiscal year the surplus stands at
only S9.893, 24S. The expenditures this
month have been S30, 0OG, COO while for the
same month last year to this period the
total was but S24. $50. 600 The receipts are
keeping up fairly good pace, but the ex-
penditures are SO heavy as to make deep
hole In the receipts.

When 1t comes to facilities for increas-

are not.
There Is a gradual, unconscious breaking
down Of the nervous system. It is not the
elevator alone that Is responsible for this
process Of nerve impairment although
many of them will alone suffice to shatter
the most robust organization. That care
worn aspect OF the countenance which we
sometimes humorously refer to as the "ele-

in which the office is located that saps the

ALCOHOL FROM ARTICHoKEs.
Consul Haynes Calls Attention to a
New Process.

Reporting to the State Department from
Rouen. France. United States Consul
Haynes calls attention to a new process
for obtaining alcohol from the Jerusalem
artichoke or 'tonambour." The plant is
easily cultivated, is not affected by dry
ness or dampness and has no maladies 1t
Is claimed that in the most ordinary soil
the artichoke will produce &c. l3S pounds of
turbercles per 2.471 acres. The leaves OF
the plant make a splendid fodder. and the
stems furnish good fuel, and 1t is claimed
that II properly cultivated these by-prod
ucts will pay the expense of cultivation.
In France alcohol is furnished chiefly by
the beet root, and is double the price of
German alcohol which comes from the
Irish potato. So cheaply can the artichokes
be grown that it is believed alcohol can
eventually compete successfully with coal.

THE VICES OF BRITTANY,
Strange Condition of Inhabitants So
Near to Paris
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Having spent two summers in Brittany, I
find myself wondering that one can be so
near and yet so far from civilization; that
in this day and generation, in a country
whose advanced thinkers lead the world.
there can be people so ignorant Of all that
makes life acceptable to an enlightened peo-
pie. Their semi-civilized manner of life
and thought, however, will not be changed
until the new generations are taught in
public schools that life is made up of du-
ties which each godly person owes to him
self. Take, for instance. the thing that is
next to godliness-cleanliness. The Bretons
have not the least notion of what it is. To
get into their homes. which more prop
erly should be called huts, one must
step through a deep mire of muddy
manure, which rots there from years
end to years end. The pigs live with
the people, and IL the cows and oxen
do not it Is because they either cannot get
into the doors they would take up too
much room In the small houses. The chill
dren grow up like little savages until they
are put in the hands of sisters to be taught
their letters: then the teaching that con-
Germs soul and body Is done by sisters who
know about life health, the disciplining of
minds. the teaching of truth and righteous
ness hardly more than the parents of these
children do. Thus generation after genera
ton goes on with the same habits. with the
same vices, utterly ignorant of progress or
enlightenment.
Drinking In Brittany is a scourge The
soberest have their days In which they usu-
ally get dead drunk. In Point Aven I had
woman come an hour In the evening to do
some work. She told from the begin
ming that she could not come on Thursdays
because she was obliged to go and get her
husband from the marchand de win. for
that was the day he got drunk. You will
find a common bed room in each house in
which the whole family sleep. have seen
these rooms with bed In each corner In
which mother father, grandmother and
grandfather and six small children sleep,
and the pigs and their family had a sty In
the middle of the room. And yet 1t Is said
that Brittany is a moral country: but
doubtless their idea Of morality is a broad
ope

Would You
Like to Feel
Young Again?

Old people certainly have bad
feelings that those below fifty hardly
understand.
1t IS discouraging to find that lit
tie tasks that once were easy are now
very hard.
Many old people are lame, nearly
all are weak.
Worst of all is that feeling of
languor, of inability to act, of weari-
ness at trif1ing exertion.
Nothing will make the old young
again, but Vinol will prevent ninety
nine out OF one hundred old people
from feeling so old.
There is no humbug about it. We
found out about Vinol and tried it
every way before we decided to put
1t on the market and guarantee it.
Now we belive that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who will take
a bottle OF Vinol will feel better right
away.
1t will increase their strength, ap-
petite, and brighten their spirits.
1t does this by nourishing. In old
people, the digestion becomes feeble.
Vinol supplies quick nourishment
and helps the food to nourish. Don't
blame the old folks for being blue
and cross. Take home a bottle of
Vinol. Money back if it isn't help
full.

ing committed an assault upon a pupil at
the Brent public school building this morn
ing. The Brent building is at the corner of

toilet room.
He put his arms around her and she made
an cutlery. Becoming frightened the In
truder escaped through one Of the windows.
The child made complaint to her teacher
and the police were notified.
1t is stated that man answering his de-
scription was seen about the Eastern High
and Tower School buildings earlier in the
morning. The police have a good descrip-
ton of the accused man. who is apparently
about eighteen years old and has his hair
parted In the middle. He wore black suit
of clothes and a black soft hat. The girl
who was assaulted lives at ZIG I'd street

crease of pay. based on the Chicago sched-
ule recently adopted.
Five hundred Union Pacific switchmen

railroad system east of Buffalo have been
increased from s to 13 per cent and in
time all employees in this and the other de-
partments will be In like happy circum-

mated at SO00,00O. and may when all ad-
1ustments OF Increase are made, amount to

able to furnish scale of wages or tables
showing the increase in each class of en-
ployes.

somewhat amusing in tone are the eIsring
Inconsistencies to be noticed in some of
'tose English periodicals thai still refuse
TO believe that anything good can come out
of America.
Take the Candid Friend. for instance.
This semisocicty weekly leads off with an
attack on Sfiss Rooseveit's telegram To the
Kaiser. which IT does not approve. 1t says
there should have been somebody, even in
a Republican country. who could ave en-
iigntcnsd the young lady on the proper
method of addressing crowned heads.
1t says the telegram was too familiar.
At the same time. II publishes an excel
lent picture of the Presidents daughter.
which takes up more than half a page. Two
photographs of Miss Julia Morosini. daugh-
ter or Giovanni Morosini. the New York
banker, and her horses, with a compliment
tary notice. take up almost the whole OF
another page. On a third page, are por-
traits Of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. with
half a column OF commentary. which, on
the whole. is more complimentary to the
Admiral than TO the American people.
The neIt paragraph contains the start
ling admission that the american in
vasion" has overwhelmed the English peo-
pie in every department of lie. 1t chron-
iclcs the advent of American phaetons
and buggies in Hyde Park. On
what 1t calls '.the strangely undreesed ap-
pearance' which American harness gives

covered that American matters make good
