PHILADELPHIAN QUIT HIS JOB.
Political Sensations Continue in the
Quaker City.

The principal developments in the politi-
cal situation at Philadelphia yesterday was
the resignation of Samuel Salter as assist
ant to the chief clerk in the office of the
county commissioners and the issuing Of
an order for the dismissal on Wednesday
of sixty-five employees in the bureau of city
property and fourteen in the electrical bu-
reau. Probably the most interesting de-
velopment was the resignation of Salter,
who, some years ago, after being fugitive
from justice for about year, returned to
Philadelphia and was acquitted of the
charge of stuffing a ballot box. In his
resignation, which came as a surprise to
the citizens of the city, Salter stated that
he intended to go into business.
The election fraud case with which Sal
ter's name was linked was one of the most
sensational in the annals of ballot-boX
crimes in that city. Salter, who had been
a member of the legislature and who was
serving as deputy coroner, was arrested in
November, 1899, along with six or seven
others, some of whom lived in Washington,
D. c., charged with conspiracy in placing
215 fraudulent votes in ballot box They
entered bail and then fled from the juris-
dction.
After Salter's acquittal city councils Gre
ated the position of assistant to the chief
clerk of the county commissioners and
Salter was appointed to the place at a
salary of 5000 year. One of the duties
of the county commissioners is to prepare
the election paraphernalia of the city At
ter the uprising against the gas lease SUBJ
sided some of the Philadelphia newspapers
asked the county commissioners to remove
Salter, but they took no action.
Mayor Weaver has another contest with
councils. This time it is over the granting
to the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
of franchises to operate surface cars on
an additional ITO miles of street without
the city receiving any compensation The
bills granting the franchises were passed
and vetoed by the mayor. On the day the
gas lease passed councils the bills were
passed over the mayors veto. After win
ming the gas lease fight the mayor had
bills introduced in councils repeating the
franchise bills. The repealers will be con-
sdered by councils committee on street
railway tomorrow. The street railway
company is making fight against the re-
pealers

KING MENELIK PRAISED.
Germans High Estimate of the Abys-
sinian Ruler.

D- Rosen minister-elect to Morocco, has
returned to Berlin from Ads Ababa Abys-
sinja, where he had gone as special envoy
Of Germany to King Menelik for the pur-
nose of concluding a commercial treaty be-
tween Abyssinia and this country.
DR. Rosens personal estimate of King
Menelik, whose language he speaks ana
whose associate he was for some weeks,
fs that he is essentially man of sound
morals and excellent principles, even ac-
cordfpg to the European standard, and
that in the main he lives up TO these prln-
ciples. DR.. Rosen says that King Menehk
easy rule over the feudal dlstrlct kings anu
chiefs is due to his quick mind ana mia
conciIiatory disposition, supported by oc-
casional severity. He always Keeps ms
word. doing what he says he Will do, and is
lust to the traditions of his country.
King MenelikS own belief, according TO
DR.. Rosen is that he is descended from a
son of Solomon and the Queen or Shepa;
that Solomon's son, who was calIed Prince
Menelik the First, with Following OF
nic1ed men Jews and Sabians, went into
Ethiopia and lived and thrived there ana
that these Jews were the founders of the
present Abyssinan Semetfc race
Menelik the First is presumed to nave
taken the ark of The covenant with him,
and il is still asserted to be In temple
at Akhum No European has ever seen IL,
and it has not been seen py the Pfesehs
ruler of Abyssnia himself only priests OF
high grade who unmarried being per-
nlitted 10 behold it.
DR. Rosen says that King Menelik is in
fine health and that although he is sixty
two years of age, he looks only about fifty
He is fond OF wearing broad-brimmed
American hat when out of doors. but other
wise he dresses in the loose garments of
the country. When indoors the king wears
a large kerehief folded about his head.
Not one of DR.. Rosen's party of eighteen
was i'll during the expedition. On the way
out of Abyssinia the members of the party
found supplies waiting them at every sta
ton as Kink Menelik told them they would
be- Although 1t has been said that Meme
lik's authority over the outlying districts is
not obeyed, DR.. Rosen found the chiefs IN
the most remote parts of the country very
anxious to carry out the kings orders.

FOR THE SIMPLE LIFE
Curious and Romantic Followers At
tract Much Interest.
pecial Correspondence Of The Star.

GENEVA, June 5 1907
The curious and romantic-lookine follow
ers of the simple life who have attracted
so much interest on the Riviera. and mar
ticularly at Mentone and Nice. during the
winter, have, with the warmer weather. he
gun to move their camp into northern
Italy, and near Como there is an increas-
Ing colony of these strange people. who
seem well supplied with money. and who
are now in search of a secluded and favor
able estate on which to form a new Garden
of Eden.
AS the simple livers wear no clothing he
yond sandals and one long flowing toea-
like white gown of light wooden fabric and
as they spend almost all of their lives IN
the open air, they will probably settle down
in one of the warm-sheltered valleys near
Lake Como, where the rigors of winter. are
not too severe.
The queer little commonwealth has been
Joined by all kinds of people including
Engl1shmen, Germans, French and Rus
slams.
The men wear long hair and picturesoue
boards, while the women, robust and the
picture OF vigor and health, have an almost
Amazonlan appearance. They pass their
lives in the open air, and when compeIIed
as during some of the recent severe
weather, to sleep in houses they remove
DOORS windows carpets and curtains and
sleep with scarcely any covering on hard
simple mattresses.
They battle at least twice a dav. and
are strict believers in vegetarianism and an
uncooked food diet; their drink is water
and as far as can be ascertained they are
one and all free-thinking Christians
OF their family histories and past posi-
tons in the world they do not. speak.
though among them are persons of un-
doubted distinction. They claim to be the
healthiest and the most rational livers on
the earth, and declare that all who desire
to escape disease and unhappiness are
bound in time to join their ranks and
adopt their rules, which are those of ma
ture and of Christ.
One member of the band, a well-educated
German, named Paul, says that four years
ago he was given up by the best physicians
of Europe with not another year to live.
He adopted the simple life as his last
chance, rambled In the sunshine and in the
fields and forests, over the mountains and
Alpine PASTURES, sleeping at night under
trees or sheltered by rocks throughout the
entire summer, and when winter came in
stead of dying, he felt full of vigor and new
life.
