Superstition IN Wall Street.

Wall street brokers are as full
Of superstition as an egg is Of
meat. Brokers have found out
what has been hoodooing the
market, and, according to their
theories, it is all caused by the
fact that members Of the New
York stock exchange are compell-
ed to walk daily under a ladder in
entering the new handsome build
ing. John Clews, a member Of
the exchange. has discovered the
cause. When the contractors
temporarily suspended work on
the stock exchange building one
Of the workmen left a ladder
standing upon the cornice, which
is used by a sculptor at work upon
a group of statuary, Immediately
above the main entrance The
ladder is in such a position that
all members who enter the ex-
change from the Broad street side
are compelled to pass under IL,
Everybody knows that it is very
unlucky to pass under ladder.

M. Saint-Saens has been enabl-
ed to throw an interesting light
on ancient Greek methods Of play
ing the Tyre. Pictures still ex-
tant show the base Of the strings
in front being struck with the
plectron held in the right hand,
while. the left, spread out behind,
and higher up, was supposed to
be executing a seconds move
ment. One day last winter, while
wandering in the Arab quarter of
Ismalia, NJ. Saint-Ssens was at
tracted BY strange music, and
following the sound stumbled up
on SINE people going through in
comprehensive rites. Among
them was a musician playing the
Tyre, which he held precisely in
the same way as the ancient
Greeks. Closely watching his
left hand behind the strings, the
composer was at last able to de-
tect that its function was, by the
most skillful movement, solely to
deaden tie strings not to be
sounded. while the other respond
ed to the touch Of the plectron.
That probably explains another
secret OF the ancients.

Philadelphia is agitated about
the Liberty bell Certain private
individuals have laid claim to ita
ownership. The claim is founded
on th- bargain which, il is said,
was made for the casting Of the
Liberty BELLS successor BY John
Wiltbank in I878( whose descend
ants declare that he was to receive
the old bell in partiai payment
for the new. The n5unt con-
tracted for, it is stated by the
claimants, was ST. ,8oo-$I,4oo in
cash, the balance, $500. being an
estimate in value Of the old bell.
On behalf Of the city's ownership
it is declared on good authority
the proposition to receive $500
for an old bell was never ngde
or considered in reference to the
Liberty bell. The proposal relat-
ed solely to another smaller and
unhistoricdnstrument which hung
from 1881 to 1873 under a cover
on the roof Of Philadelphia In
dependence hall. and was used to
call the province together in very
early times. II was this bell that
was the object Of the bargain, a
larger one being desired, and not
the Liberty bell, which was in
good order in 1928, the crack not
being made until 1895, when it
was tolled for the death OF Chief
Justice Marshall.

Roosevelt's 5 admirers regard his
message as a mastery production;
unbiased critics see in it only an
ordinary piece Of political discus
sion. The president makes no nov

the discussion on the great public

problems of capital and labor con
tains nothing new; his remarks on

SUPPOSED CAPTURE
Will Harris the Noted Despcr-
ado Thought to be in
Custody.

Governor AycOCk received a telegram
late yesterday from MIR. ". NJ. Russell, OF
Troy, saying that they had III custody
a negro man supposed to be the
desperate VIII Harris. who escaped from
the penitentiary here about a month ago.
The telegram asked for a general descrlp-
ton Of Harris. and the Governor immc-
diately wired this.
Harris was sent UP from Mecklenburg
county for a term of thirty years and had
only served a small part of his sentence
When the people of Mecklenburg learned
of his escape they were very bitter III their
denunciation Of the prison authorities.
No negro has given the officers IN Meek
lenburg county more trouble than Will
Harris. and it IS doubtful if any Las
ever given the people of a community as
much anxiety. For the past three or
four years numbers of fires IN Mecklenburg
have been attributed to him and IN addl-
ton be has been guilty Of other crimes,
the shooting of Squire John =. Hunter
being one of them.
At the May term of Mecklenburg Su-
perior court Harris was tried for burning
Squire JOIN Graham Alexander's barn
and assaulting jim Crockett, colOred, with
a deadly weapon. He was promptly CON
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
to serve a sentence Of thirty years.

THE TOBACCO DISEASE.
Er. Kilgore's Bulletin Asks for Specimens to
be Sent to the Station,

DIR. b. w. kllgore, Director of the Ag-
rlcultuTal Experiment Station, has issued
the following bulletin regarding the de
Structlve tobacco disease that has recent
ly broken out in some parts of the State.
"A very destructive tobacco disease has
recently broken out with extreme violence
III certain portions of the State. 1t is the
desire OF the station to accumulate all in
may lead to the checking of its rayages,
The point now most to be desired is to
find out how widely the disease is dis
tribute over the State. To that end we
request that all people interested in to-
baccO growing, who are CUB with any
diseases of their tobacco plants will send
specimens consisting of the lower part
OF the stem and the roots to the station.
We particularly desire these specimens if
the disease consists of the willing of the
leaves, accompanied by a brown color in
that portion of the stem just outside of
the bark. We urge upon all tobacco
growers the Importance OF notifying the
station Immediately after this disease APP
pears IN the neighborhood, so that we NAV
advise as to the means of preventing its
spread. Two diseased stalks in the field
this year may mean the loss of the entire
crop the mex year you put tobacco on
the field"

1t may be the school boards have moi
the power to require vaccination OF the
pupils, but that would certainly be a
great help in efforts to prevent smallpox
from spreading. The law on the subject

authorities, and if it is found that the
boards have the power to compel vacc.
nation, they should not hesitate to do 50.
Parents should be impressed with the
necessity of taking every precaution
against this dangerous disease. They
ought not to wait to be forced to do
something that is for the protection of
their own children, as we'll as for other
peoples, The smallpox question has not
as yet been considered as seriously as
occasion requires. 1t is hoped that evelf
one will look at it in sober manner and
do all in their power to rid the county
and state Of it. Health boards should be
especially active. Take the matter in
time, and it will save life and expense.
