The fight between Chief of Police Brow

waged for the past few weeks, was
brought to a head Tuesday when the
mayor notified Chief Brownell that his

After the hearing on the charges pre-
scented against Chief Brownell by Mayor
Burke two reports were returned By the
members of the police examiners, II mi
nority and a majority report. The latter
found that the charges were not SUSTAIN

sustained. In consequence of the reports
chief BrOwnel went to the police office
Tuesday morning and began his duties

june.
Word Of his action was quickly commu-
uicated to Mayor Burke, who ordered
Chief Brownell to leave the office and also
told the police officers to take no orders
from Chief Browncll. The chief paid no
attention to the mayors actions and the
latter soon retired in the direction Of his
blacksmith shop. He evidently sought
advice from some quarter for at about 10
o'clock he again entered the police office,
where Chief Brownell sat smoking and

DUMB MANY YEARS
SHE RECEIVERS SPEECH
French Female Servant Is Claimed to Be
Subject of Miracle. rs ropn

PARIS, Aug. S.-The inhabitants of
Kerhous, a village near Brest, are in a
state of great excitement over what they
describe as a miracle performed on a fe-
male farm servant named Marie Rag
uenes. aged forty, who, after being dumb
for twenty eight years, has suddenly re-
covered her speech.
When she was twelve years of age
Marie. as the result of a fright, was
stricken dumb, and from that day, in
spite of the efforts of numerous special
lists and all sorts of pretended remedies,
she was unable to utter a word On
Wednesday last. however, to the great
establishment of her fellow servants as
sembled at the midday meal, Marie
articulated clearly sthe words, II can
speak. Give me some bread"
The subject of this wonderful cure al

heavenly messenger appeared to her and
said: In the name of God l announce
to you that on such a day and at such
an hour you will recover your speech, j"
and at the appointed moment she spoke
as she had not done for nearly thirty
years.
Since this strange happening the village
has been visited by never ceasing crowds
of pilgrims. bent on seeing the woman
upon whom the miracle has been perz
formed, and Maries tongue. which has
been so long silent, is kept going relating
her extraordinary experience.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-There is at least
one man in England who makes money
out of his recreations, and that man Is
the octogenarian dean Of Rochester
Dean Hole. Combining deep learning
with a large fund of bright wit and
broad hun1or, he can spare time from
his heavy ecclesiastical duties to add
$4,000 year to his income by growing
roses in the musty old town so well
known to the lovers of Dickens.
For sixty years the dean has been
studying the national flower, and dur
ing that time as many as three hun
dred varieties have passed through his
hands. He is his own gardener, even
at his present advanced age, and it is
only the more laboFious part of the
work that he intrusts to other hands.
AS early as o'clock in the morning
the dean may be seen in his garden
looking after his pets. His method Of
disposing Of his roses is through a
London wholesale florist who cuts
them at Rochester under the critical
eye of the dean and removes them
to Covent Garden market, where they
End clubs and restaurants. Many Of
the varieties are so rare that it is no
uncommon thing for single rose to
fetch as much as 81.
- What puzzles most people is how the
dean persuades roses to grow in a
place like Rochester, as experts say
that, the flower never fourishes in a.
smoky atmosphere or in a chalky soil.
1t has been surmised that the kind old
deans piety has much to do with the
phenomenon, but the reverend gentle
man denies the soft impeachment.
Like a good business man he will not
give his secret aWay. and merely saws
to searchers after knowledge: 81 am SO
in the shade, and although I have no
desire to encourage gambling 1 will
back myself to grow a rose with any
man in the world" Fifty years ago he
concluded that rose growers should be
brought together with an opportunity
of comparing their Achievements. He
got together the funds, arranged the
schedule and kindled the enthusiasm of
other rose growers. and out of this
grew the National Rose society. which
