selma, EeD ~.
 The case of the State against wili s. Briggs charged with the murder of John scnlly in this city on December 2s. was mol pressed in the City Court of Selma to- day by Judge !. W. Mabry, who made the decree at the suggestion of Hon. B. F. Wilson. acting as States counsel in the place of Solicitor w. W. Quarles. Briggs was at once released from custody.
 In asking that the court decree a nolle prosequi, MT. Wilson stated .hat the evl- dence to be adduced in the case would be the same as testimony given in the trial of Pearl Scot who was recently convicted of the murder of Scully and sentenced to the penitentiary for twelve years. This testimony, Mir. Wilson said, would not show that Briggs was connect ed with the crime and in his belief the trial of the defendant would be useless. Judge Mabry said he believed a convic- ton of Briggs could not be had on the testimony heard in the previous trial, and he ordered the case mol pressed and the prisoner discharged.
 An appeal on which Briggs had been confined in the county prison since Feb ruary 2: was withdrawn by the State. On February 22, on habeas corpus pros ceedings, he was granted bail in the sum of 1.200. but an appeal by Acting Solicitor w. B. Craig nullified for the time the decree of the court and the de- fendant was remanded to jail He had been confined in jail since early in Janu- ary.
 Immediately after he was discharged, Briggs. with ,his brother and friend, left the court room.

AN ARBITRARY TYRANT.
This Autocrat Exists Solely by the
Will Of the PeOpIc.


And it came to pass that in the very
height of modern times an arbitrary
tyrant ruled over a great country call
ed America. The name Of this tyrant
was Everybodydoesit, and all the in
habitants of the fand bowed themselves
to his will.
Terror of the autocrat caused grown
men and WOmen to cast aside every
dictate of common sense-sometimcs
Of honesty as we'll. Children over
studied, wearing out precious eyesight,
cramping growing organs, yet mothers
whispered under their breath the name
of Everybodydoesit and the evil went
on. Men bought houses and European
passages, automobiles and other eX-
penSive luXuries, the cost of which was
out Of all proportion to their income.
"EverybOdydoesit' was the explana-
ton they gave.
SOrriest of all was the case of the
young girls. They ~patronized I'M
wholesome plays, read books produced
by diseased minds, they overdressed,
abandoned the gentle ideals of their
mothers day and grew old before their
time. "Everybodydoesit," they said.
And thus it was in all classes of soci-
ETY. throughout the broad land. All
men,and women, young and old, recog
nized the sway of Everybodydoesit and
bowed their necks to his yoke.-Phila-
delphia North American.

student is hOnored with a special prize

GEOGRAPHERS AT NIAGARA.
Prof. Gilbert Tells That Inside Of $500
Years Chicago VIII He Submerged.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, Sept. 1e.-The In
ternational Geographical Congress held a.
field day session here to-day. Prof. G. X.
Gilbert of the United States Geological
Survey lectured on the history of the
Niagara region, prophesying that unless
man discovered some other source Of energy,
possibly the sun, Niagara Falls would be
destroyed Prof Gilbert also reviewed
the period when this section was covered
with glaciers. the movement of which had
their effect on lake and river formation.
He explained how in past centuries lakes
had other outlets and rivers flowed In differ
ent directions than at present
The direction of their present flow, he
said. was caused by a tipping of the land.
This tipping is still In progress. and he said
that In time the water Of Lake Erie would
how toward Detroit, the falls OF Niagara
would no longer exist and the site OF the
city Of Chicago would be submerged. Fears
Of the audience were in part allayed by
statement that these wonderful changes
need not be looked for inside Of 3, 500 years.
This afternoon Prof Gilbert took the
gorge, pointing out to them the effects OF
the glacial period. and how the Horseshoe
Falls had created the famous gorge. Every
feature OF the rivers history was explained
in English. French and German in order
that the foreign delegctes might thoroughly
understand 1t.
The congress will meet in Geneva, Swift
erland in 1908. At 1880 O'Clock the special
train left for Chicago.

OH THAT SMELL IN THE STREET.
LimburGe' Cheese GetH Its Owner Into
Serious Trouble.

Frank Schmidt, who has a dairy depot
at 49s East Seventy-fourth street, was ar
raigned in tho Yorkville police court yester-
day on the charge that ne did unlaw-
fully deposit On the east side OF East
Seventy-fourth street a quantity OF
liquid filth. Az the residents OF the
tenements near Schmidts place of business
were about to enjoy their noon
day luncheon on Thursday, they de-
tected a very strong odor. in the rooms
which seemed to come either from the
street or from the basement OF some of
the houses. Windows went up and doors
few open. Here and there an ugly face
appeared and noses shifted in every direc-
ton in fruitless efforts TO get some pure
air.
George Vending who lives over Schmidt's
place Of business, thought he recognized
the odor. He rushed down the stairs and
out into the street. Following the scent
he soon came to heap OF material which
he recognized as being a mixture OF lin
burger cheese, butter, milk and other like
products. Policeman Cavanaugh. who
was summoned, then found that Schmidt
had had runaway short time before
and that a complete load Of produce had
been dumped in the gutter and allowed to
remain there In the heat Of the sun.
Schmidt was compelled to remove the
nuisance and was fined 81 in court yester-

KEEN HOBOKEN INSPECTOR.
Looks at Shore Line and Notes Violation
or Building Law At The Clifrs.

The police OF Hoboken, acting under
directions OF Building Inspector Frederick
Steigleiter have stopped work on the con-
struction OF two story addition to The
Cliffs, Richard Stevens's home on Castle
Point, because a building permit was not
obtained from Mr. Steigleiter's depart
ment.
The inspector took a sail up the Hudson
a day or two ago and, like all Jerseymen.
he kept his eyes on the shore line OF his
State. AS the boat passed The Cliffs at Castle
Point, Steigleiter was surprised to see
force Of carpenters at work on Mr.. Stevens's
new structure.
The inspector hadn't heard that any Of
the Stevens family was going to build and
couldn't recall that any application had
been made for a permit, as required by
the rules Of his department before con-
struction work can be legally begun Mr.
Steigleiter investigated when he returned to
Hoboken and yesterday had the work
stopped, He went through the formality
OF having a cop stationed at the house to
prevent a resumption Of operations.
Mr. Stevens was not to blame for the
violation OF the building laws. He employed
Architect G. Mort Pollard to draw the plans
ana instructed him TO have the work rushed
30 the extension would be ready for &C.
cupancy when Mr. Stevens and his family
return from their summer home at Bernards-
vile. The architect failed to file copy
OF the plans with the building inspector
and did not apply for the necessary permit.
The building is frame structure. II
will be covered however with cement COM
position called -stucco. A city ordinance
prohibits the erection of frame buildings
east Of Willow avenue and the inspector
ia trying to- decide whether Mr.. Stevenss
extension comes within the prescribed
class Of buildings Mr., Stevens thinks 1t
does not.
Mr. Stevens said yesterday: Il left the
whole matter In Mr.. Pollard hands when
I went to Bernardsville for the summer. l
supposed that everything had been prop
erlv attended to. Mr. Pollard says his
failure to file plans and secure a permit
was simply a lapse Of memory. He has
arranged to go over the plans with Mr..
Steigleiter, and / think everything will be
10 readiness to proceed with the work In

Detective Sergeant Gargan, who made
the arrest, told Magistrate Moss that he and
Detective Sergeants Tinker and Galligan,
under Chief McClusky's direction had been
looking for the man for over year.
an May, 1903" said the detective, -Jobel-
man opened an Office at rs and so Wall street.
He has told me that he worked under the
name OF William H. Spencer. representing
Alfred X. Gosln. A third man, whom we
have fdiled to locate, entered the employ
of Merrill, Baker 4 Co., at o and II East Six
teenth street. He became agent for a
twenty volume work of French memoirs,
selling at $240 set. He sold two sets to be
delivered at the Wall street Office.
After the first payment both Jobelman
and the confederate disappeared, A few
days ago an advertisement appeared offer
ing set of the books for sale. We went to
Wilson Co. 3 bookstore at Barclay street
this morning and arrested Jobelman as he
was receiving 500 for the books"
Magistrate Moss held the prisoner in
81 600 bail for examination tomorrow.
Detective Gargan told SUN reporter that
Inspector McClusky considered this an i'm
portant capture. He has made many efforts
to get evidence against this kind Of swind-
ling. but has found 1t difficult because the
men work so cleverly. Gargan said that
Jobelman and Gosin had formerly kept a
small deposit in the Eastern Trust Company,
to which concern they referred whenever
anybody questioned their responsibility
