CENSOR OF HAND ORGANS.
Hartford's Police Board Calls Upon
Chief Ryan to Say What is Music.


From the Hartford Post.
Chief of Police Ryan has been declared
by the board of police commissioners to be
the city's musical censor, and it will be up
to him In the future to decide when street
organ is an instrument disseminating har-
mony and when 1t Is a nuisance. There are
people who hold that street organ Is at
all times nuisance and at no time dissent
mates sweet harmony, but~the commission
ers came to the conclusion that they did
have rights on the street, and they put 1t
up to Chief Ryan to decide when they ex-
coed those rights.
The matter came UP in the form of COM
plant from c. F. Sweet, dealer in oils who
wrote that one Of the organs ground out
distressing strains near his place Of busi-
ness for over an hour, and that when he re-
monstrated the grinder told him to go to
that locality where organ grinders have
been mentally consigned by thousands ever
since they first came into existence. Mr..
Sweet went to the ponce station instead
but was unable to obtain satisfaction.
After considering this complaint, the com.
nisstoners decided that there were times
when an organ was a nuisance, and placed
that matter in Chief Ryan's hands, as pre-.
yiously stated. Naturally the chief will
have to hear the music before he can decide
the question, and consequently concerts
may be looked for daily at the police Sta
ton. An organ grinder complained Of az
nuisance will presumably be hauled to the
culprit plays "Why Did They Sell XIII
larney?' or something Of that sort, he will
probably stand fairly good show of hav-
ever strikes I'D ''Hiawatha'' or similar Sc
lections he will in all probability be ad-
judged nuisance on the spot and be locked
up in the dungeon.

IS CABBAGE DEADLYp
Alarming Reports Concerning the Veg
etable and Worm.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Whether or not the cabbage grower
should be consumed with remorse more
than other mortals has long been q subject
of interested speculation. In one way and
another he probably contributes far more
than one mans share to the general fund
of humanity's mtseries. Think, for in
stance, Of cabbage farmer who plants as
many Of them do, five hundred acres of that
obstreperous vegetable. Upon such an area
no less than one and one-half million heads
of cabbage might be grown; and when
boiled with the accustomed portions OF
corned beef one and one-half million heads
of cabbage are susceptible of carrying men
tai gloom and physical distress into halr
the homes Of a nation. Not until recently,
however, has crime more serious IMAM the
wholesale dissemination Of indigestion been
laid at the door Of the cabbage. But dis
patches sent out Of Georgia during the last
few days have stated that certain districts
there are being fairly decimated by the
cabbage-eating habit.
Persons from White, Towns. Union, Daw
son, Forsyth and other counties have re-
ported fearful mortality from this cause.
At first, it is said. the deaths were not un-
derstood. Then it was observed that all of
them followed quickly upon the eating of
cabbage. Then one farmer discovered.
while gathering head OF cabbage, a worm
about two inches long and about the size
Of needle" This fearsome insect was
sent to the state chemist. who promptly
reported that 1t contained enough poison to
kill fifteen persons.
The mystery was a mystery no longer. A
further investigation developed the fact
that vast numbers Of the Georgia cabbages
were infected with the poison-laden reptiles.
which, long as they were, were of such at
tenuated bodies that few housewives might
be expect to detect their presence before
serving them, no less than their vegetable
habitat up to a hungry and unsuspecting
family. OF course, it will be observed that
these cabbages were Georgia cabbages,
which may account for a good deal.
Charleston, 1t will be observed, is one of
the greatest cabbage markets in this coun-
try, and while we are not prepared to pose
as apologizers for cabbage as table food,
fairness compels the admission that statis-
tics might be readily collected here to prove
that 1t is not as deadly as the trans-Savan-
nah folk are trying to make it appear.

Travelling Backward.


One of the saddest things in the history Of
college graduates is that SO many cease to
grow when they have received their diplo-
mas. On graduation day they reach their
mental high water mark. but after that the
tide gradually GIBBS, and 1t never rises quite
as high again. When just from college,
many of these graduates impress one aa
men of great promise; but, somehow or
other, they remain prospectuses all their
lives; they never become published volumes.
They study law, teach while. or else, per-
haps engage in business, but they do not
hold on very long anywhere or at anything.
They seem to lose their grip, and instead Of
forging ahead they drift down stream.
AS a rule a graduate who thus falls to
realize his promise thinks that, when he re-
ceives his sheepskin, there is no need for
further mental exertion on his part. He
feels that he has won his laurels, and that
he can afford to rest upon them. After four
wears study in college he believes that he
has covered the whole field Having won a
diploma he has no other goal In view Pur-
poseless, without a life plan or definite line
of work. he becomes the most hopeless and
pitfable of all human beingsNa drifter.
How can I overcome this feeling?" hum
6reds Of young men are asking. Begin to
overcome 1t now! Do not allow 1t to grow
over you like moss on a deserted building.
Try to abandon the thought that your life
Ia purposeless.

CACTI GROWN FOR PROFIT.

Arizona Scientist Found Nothing Else
Would Grow in His Garden.
Arizona Corr. New York Herald.
A business enterprise of novel and
unique nature has been built up in the
neighborhood of, Phoenix, Ariz., and though
not large enough to attract a great deal
of attention, 1t is being carried on success
fully from a financial point of view. ~9'
Nearly everybody who had lived In
Phoenix long is acquainted with DR.. R. 2.
Kunze, better known locally as 1.-The Bug
Catcher" DR.. Kunze takes to scientific
things as duck takes to water and came
here a few years ago from New York.
Noting the many bugs, butterflies and in
sects that are rarely found in other parts,
he began to systematically and 1ndustri-
ously collect them and send them to east
ern collectors, schools, etc.a and 1t Is un.
derstood that his work was pleasingly re-
munerative, for he knew first how to catch
and preserve his specimens and next how
to classify them.
Fir ally he bought little piece of ground
down near the river, a mile south Of Wash
ington street, en- It'll avenue, intending to
plant an orchard. He tried faithfully for
a year or two, but with poor success. He
found the soil in that locality was worth
less for fruit trees, and the few that did
grow were a sickly lot.
It then occurred to him that If he could
not raise anything he could grow cacti, so
he went into that business. Now he has a
cact nursery, and Is making money out of
it He supplies local people when they
want cacti for decorative purposes, but his
main business is in the large eastern cities
and in Europe. He has been sending plants
to Germany for the last four years, and
last spring he made shipment of about
5000 pounds.
DIR. Kunze knows as much about cacti as
he does about bugs, and when he meets a
new variety he prizes 1t as a prospector
does a promising gold ledge. He now has
plants from all over the southwest, Ari-
zcna particularly. One variety he goes
clear. to the Mexican line for, and can find
1t nowhere else.

POWHATAN.
How One Should Pronounce Name of
Famous Indian.


Famous Indian.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The name of that old Indian king who
ruled over most of eastern Virginia in the
earliest colonial days Is not called as much
now as it was formerly. 1t survives in good
old Pohawtan county and In the Powhatan
pipe, and in six different post offices in diff
ferent states Of the Union. In Kansas they
have Powhattan, which we suppose is
misspelling, following a mispronunciation
Of Powha tan. But many people Of this
generation have forgotten, If they ever
knew, that King Powhatans summer
Capital was about half a mile below
Richmond, while his winter quarters were
in Gloucester, and that he was alternately
a good cad and a great enemy Of Capt.
John Smith, and that he was the father of
Pocahontas, from whom descended many
Virginians Of distinction.
But so 1T was, and all that sort of thing
makes us close connections or mis- How
ever, he was Of a rowing disposition, and
place to place, and it is hack drivers his
tory only that he died at his sometime
home near this city. known as Powhatan.
We do not fail to remember that Powha-
tan was the name of the James river before
the colonists intruded their ships and skiffs
upon it-but that is another story.
Once, 1t was quite common for Virginia
boy babies to be christened "Powhatan"
and girls "Pocahontas," but not so now.
We can well understand how the latter
name ceased to be agreeable to ladies' since
the usual dimunitive of 1t was Poke" but
why the royal name Of Powhatan should
have fallen into disuse is not SO obvious.
However, a period came when provision
had to be made for the perpetuatton of the
fame of George Washington, Thomas jeff
erson, Lafayette, John Marshall, Patrick
Henry and other patriot fathers" Then
Andrew Jackson and Winfield Scott had to
have their day, and yet later Lee, Beaure-
gard Ashby and other confederate names
attained popularity. But fashions change
in names as they do in clothes. and, Just
now, there is a tendency to turn back to
old family registers. and reproduce the
names of the long ago, and 1t may be that
we shall have soon a new crop Of Pow
hatans' We are not SO hopeful about the
re-establishment Of "Pooahontas" in public
favor; the reason why we have already
given But Pocahontas other Indian name
was ''Mateo," or "Matoaca," and that In
pretty, and is not liable to any objection, SO
far as we can see.
When she and John Rolfe had made
match" she embraced Christianity. end
was baptized under the name of Rebecca.
But, all that aside-we conclude by ex-
pressing our ardent hope that the new
Powhatan babies may have their names
correctly pronounced. We can tolerate 10
imitation Of the sound Of Manhattan" Let
1t be good. old-fashioned, Virginia Pow

accent on tan"
