BROTHER OF NINE. HUMBERT
NOT WANTED IN THIS
COUNTRY.

Of inquiry of the immigration depart
ment, after a hearing on Ellis island.
Dsurignac arrived in New York
Saturday on French line steamer
and IN an interview said that he came
to this country partly for the purpose
of observation and travel. The Law
under which Daurignac was ordered
sent back to France forbids the entry
into the United States of man who
has served in a prison for other than
political 0ffense. Daurignac was
convicted in France of irregular prac-
tices in connection with certain in.
surance deals. He claimed today
however, that his offense was of a
political nature and said:
Convicted by Enemies.
Il was charged with being an &C
cessory to the forming of an unlawful
corporation and was tried and sentenc
ed to two and a half years for that
offense-my conviction was due en-
tirely to the influence of my political
enemy. My grandfather and his faith

ators and it was through his enemies
that l was convicted.
Daurignac was taken from IN"
steamship LaTOuraine today on the
barge which took the steerage pass

in answer to questions he gave his

GROUND BROKEN
FOR LIBRARY
Contract for Erecting the Carnegie
Structure Awarded to Tubb Bros.
by the Building Committee.
ARCHITECTURAL G
Will be Under Roof About December
!, and Ready for Occupancy
About March I.

Actual work on the Carnegie library
was begun this morning, and it will
be pushed with the utmost vigor until
the building is completed. The con.
tract for erecting the structure was
let Saturday afternoon at a meeting
OF the building committee held at the
Office of Chairman Frank E. Smith.
Those in attendance were Aldermen
Smith and Brown and Trustees Ada
Meyersick, Mrs. A. w. War;, David
Hilger, G. M. Stone and Frank f.
Wright.
Three Bids Submitted.
Three bids were submitted to the
committee. They were those of Lorenz
& McRae, who offered to construct
the building according to the plans
and specifications for the sum of
$10,650; George S. Wells, whose bid
was $1,000, and Tubb Bros, whose
tender was $9,95O. With these ten.
ders before them, there was little room
for discussion, and finally, on motion
of David Hilger, seconded by George
M. Stone, the contract was awarded
to Tubb Bros, the vote being unaIi-
nous. It was decided that the con-
tractors should give bond in the
sum of $4,000 for the faithful perform
ance OF the contract, and Chairman
Smith was authorized to draw up the
contract and arrange for the bond
The committee then adjourned.
Will Lose mo Time.
Tubb Bros. lost no time in arrang-
ing the details, as it is imperative to
get the building under cover at Il. a
earliest possible date, and ground was
broken this morning. The contractors
state that they will have the roof OF,
by Dec. 1, and will then be able to
push the inside work.
A Beautiful BUILDING.
The plans for the building were
prepared by T. ]. Tubb. and they call
for an exceedingly handsome struc-
ture. The style is colonial and ma
tive gray stone will be used, the con
struction being what is known as
random asher work. The interior fin.
ish will be in red oak, and will pre-
sent rich appearance.
The structure will be one story and
basement. The latter will be the
assembly hall. The entire upper story
Will be devoted to reading room and
the library proper. the loan department
being located there. The arrange.
ments called for by the plans are
about as near perfect for library pur.
poses as an architect can make them.
and embrace the best features of a
number of library buildings in the
state.
A Fine Approach.
The approach to the library proper
will be quite imposing, a stone porti.
co, with handsome stone pillars, lead.
ing to the main entrance. The site
for the building, which is on Main
street. opposite the court house, vii;
give the structure sufficient elevation
to set of it's beauties. and the ground

structure.

LUCIA-In Troy, Aug. 1, Michael Lucia.
where the Joke ,ams IN.


One day last week the editor of this
paper hung his coat up in the office
while he went out to look after some
business at the quarry. In our coat
pocket we left our pocketbook. When
we returned the pocketbook was gone.
and the sinner who stole 1t has not
repented sufficiently to return 1t and
apologize. The pocketbook contained
some railroad transportation, a $40
promissory note that was past due and
a notice of our overdraft at the bank,
but not one cent Of the current coin
of the realm. We have no fear of the
fellow using the transportation, be-
cause we are too well known along
the line to be impersonated by petit
larceny thief. If he can collect that
$40 note he is welcome to it, and if he
will settle the overdraft at the bank
in accordance with the notice we will
forgive him for stealing the pocket
book. He is evidently an amateur al
the business or he would have known
better than to put himself to the trou-
BILE of stealing an editors pocketbook.
In our humble opinion the joke is on
the thief.-Marble City q. To Enter

OLD TINE DENTISTRY.
Queer Instrt .nents In Harvard Dem
tai Sc hoOI's Collection.

Queer Instruments In Harvard Dem
tai Schools Collection.
Like many other OF the new" pro-
LESSONS, dentistry is a very old one
1t is known that 400 years before the
beginning of the Christian era Egyp-
tian dentists filed teeth with gold, but
no trace of their methods Of doing their
work has ever been found. Aescula.
plus, the patron of physicians, was the
first famous dentist in Roman history
and the old Romans used a toothpick
very much like the little wooden one
that is made today. The Arabians
ages ago produced dentifrice, but it
soon seemed to be very generally used
The story of dentistry is told in the
Instruments it has employed. AS they
are known today they had their be-
ginning in the sixteenth century, but
their evolution has been slow In the
Harvard Dental school in Boston there
is d collection of instruments used by
dentists in the first half of the last CEN
fury. One of the formidable tools it
includes is what was called a key,
doubtless from it's peculiar shape,
which was used for extracting teeth,
the process being to slowly and pain
fully twist and pry the offending molar
out Of its place. In order that no mis-
take should be made the dentist began
operations by hammering and prod
ding one tooth after another with a
sort Of bIudgeon until he had satisfied
himself-not to mention the tortured
patient-that he had found the most
sensitive one and therefore the most
likely candidate for extraction.
The grandfathers of the delicate steel
dentists table were small in number,
but large in awfulness. There are in
the Harvard collection chisels and NAL
lets, rude forceps for removing the
teeth, miniature crowbars used to re-
pair cavities for filling, files for sharp
ening the cutting and grinding sur
faces Of teeth and one particularly
horrid instrument. known as the pei
lean, with which teeth were lifted"
How rapidly and recently dentistry
has become one of the important
sciences appears in the fact that in
the middle of the last century black
smiths were doing their best-or worst
to relieve the victims of the tooth
ACHE while today institutions like the
Harvard Dental school attract stu
dents from all over the world. Be-
sides, while it was sure torture to go
to the dentist in the so called "good
old days." such a visit now is COM
paratively comfortable, so far has the
profession gone in the direction of per-
forming it's operations without caus-
ing pain.
