PEACE REIcNs AGAIN IN ALBANY

Americas neighbor, Albany, has for
months been in ferment of excite
ment as the result of the Broughton-
Westbrook imbroglio, growing out
of csus,ic charges made by the Atlanta
pulpiteer, followed by his cowhidlng
at the hands OF Chief Westbrook, etc.
Citizens of Albany divided upon the
question, and the city has since been
torn by dissen ion and bitterness.
An official investigation has just been
concluded wherein all the testimony
obtainabIe to substantiate Broughton' s
charge was submitted by able lawyers
and as ably com batted by the d tense.
The result is the practical exoneratlon
of the police chief. On two indie
ments only was he found guilty, and
IN these fines of $25 were imposed.
Friends of Chief Westbr, ok feel that
he has been fully exonerated of the
charges made IN open meeting by the
Atlanta pulplteer, and both sides of
the unfortunate conflict feel.satisfed
In concluding an editorial uLder the
suggestive caption "Now Let US Have
Peace" the Albany Herald says of the
Broughton~ Westbrook episode CHOW
letsus have peace, and let us hope
that it will be a long time before
another sensational pulpiteer who
makes personal attacks in the pulpit
will be brought to Albany to convert
or reform the town What has the
harvest been? In the bitter aftermath
and enlargement of former friends
including some who are professe
followers OF the meek and lowlJ
Nazarene, we have the warning answer

his own interests and those of the

MISERY'S TRAP FOR BURGLARS

Over in West Philadelphia lives
an old man who is reputed to be a
miser and the hoarder Of vast sums
in his little house, where he lives
alone with spinster daughter.
The old fellow has been visited by
burglars four times in the last cou-
pie Of years, but on each occasion
the intruders have been frightened
off without securing any plumber.
Disguised with the failure Of the
police to catch the men who have
visited his house so often, the West
Philadelphia has set a neat little
trap Of his own. Every night be-
fore going to bed he leaves a decanter
half filled with wine and several
glasses upon the dining room table
The gas is left burning so that the
wine will not be overlooked The
old fellow has carefully drugged the
wine with a quick working opiate
and is anxiously awaiting another
burglarious visit. = Philadelphia

Goats and a Nations Fate.

The frontier between British In
dia and Tibet traverses districts
where there are mountain pastures,
and our main grievance was that
certain Tibetan goats which were
ignorant of the line of demarcation
were in the habit of straying into
British territory. What particular
harm the goats did by browsing oc-
casionally on British grass is not
very clear. In any case, the dam
age could not have been consider
able. In 1889 we went to war with
Spain on account of the ear of a GER
tain Jenkins, which, we asserted,
had been cut off by some Spanish
official, although it was contended
that the car was still attached to
Jenkins head. 1t has, however, been
reserved to this century for this
country to engage in a war that
promises to be extensive on ac-
count professedly of few wander
ing goats.-London Truth.
