THE BAYEUx TAPESTRY.
An Extraordinary Work of Art of
Great Historic Value.

Great Historic Value.
Few besides those who have visited
Bayeux or have especially studied the
subject have any idea of what this ex-
traordinary work of art is really like
or have any authentic knowledge of its
history. 1t tells the story OF Edward,
Harold and William and of the con-
quest Of William in a series Of pic
lures, so that Its value is great as a
chronicle as well as relic Of needle
work 500 years old.
The vicissitudes of the treasure have
been many. 1t is curious fact that
dropped entirely out Of the worlds
knowledge. 1t was preserved with
care among the treasures Of the
BayeuX cathedral and was brought out
for eight days every summer and hung
about the nave of the cathedral. No
one but the peasants ever saw it, and
the cathedral authorities cared for it
only as decoration In 1924 an old
drawing of part of the tapestry came
into the hands of learned antigua
rian, who tried without success to find
the original. The Pere MOntfaucon
also tried to find it and at last succeed
ed and told the world about it in his
great book Monuments de la Monar-
chic Franchise"
The church had no power to protect
such a treasure in 1924. and the ancient
length of linen with it's quaint en-
broidery was dragged out of the ca
thedral and used to cover one of the
military wagons belonging to the local
battalion. NJ. lie Forester rushed to
its rescue and substituted canvas to
cover the wagon and brought the tap
estry to his study till he was relieved
from his self appointed mission by a
commission that undertook the protec-
ton of the work of art. Now the tap
estry has been restored and may be
seen framed under glass in a museum
OF its own.

The view that the average governm oni
clerk at Washington. ID. c., takes of his
position is that OF gift, and that the
amount Of work that it imposes is only
as much as can be avoided. Therefore
when Gen. Ainsworth, chief Of the rec
ord and pension Office at Washington,
ID. c., ordered that all his clerks must
remain at their desks until A O'Clock,
there was much rebellion; and the in
jured feelings of the women clerks
found vent in protets to the general.
The spol1eswoman who went to i'm
pointed out that il all the clerks Went
cut together the women would be jos stl-
cd in the corridors by the men who
were huTying to get away. She sug-
gested, therefore. that it would be q
graceful act ON his part to restore to the
women clerks the old privilege of going
home half an hour before the closing
time. Madam, had not considered
it, said Ainsworth "but what you
say is very true. | suggest that you
and the other ladies who do not wan.
to be jostled remain in your Offices un-
TIL one minute past four. will guar.
antee that at that hour you will not be
jostled in the corroders by anything ex-
cept ghosts. =

poor farm. 1t is that of robust and
healthy young man who has asked per
mission to remain ON the poor farm the
remainder of his life. In explanation
of his strange request he states that he
prefers to remain there, certain CT a
good home during his lifetime, rather
than run the chances OF earning living
by working in the towns. This strange
young man. who is not at all lazy, and
who cheerfully does the work requii sd
of him on the poor farm, says he has nc
one 10 work for ii ne left the farm and
that he prefers to have a place he can

DEATH DUE TO POISONING.
Chemists Report in the Case of Mrs
Stanford.

San Francisco, March THE Call
says that the local authorities have
now positive assurance In the form of
information by cable from Honolulu
that Mrs Stanford's death was direct
ly due TO strychnine poisoning. This
cable contained, 1t is said, synopsis
of the report of the chemists who had
been engaged for the last three days
in analyzing the stomach and other
organs OF the deceased. The stomach,
kidneys and heart were found upon
examination, Ii is said, to be in very
healthy condition and much above
those of the average woman of Mrs.
Stanford's age. There was, however,
a swelling of the heart that, the re-
port says, would only be produced In
son. No trace of strychnine was found
by the chemists In the stomach, yet all
agree that there is no longer any doubt
OF the cause of the death of Mrs Stan
ford and that the autopsy has failed
to reveal indications that would sug-
gest any other cause for death than
strychnine poisoning. The experts
findings, according to the Calls state
ment, are also to the effect that an
analysis of the contents of the bottle
of bicarbonate of soda from which
Mrs. Stanford took the poison show
that strychnine was mixed all through
the contents.

TO FORESTALL A STRIKE.
interborough Company importing Men
to New York City.


New York, March Tt has been
learned that 526 men who arrived here
during the night and were quartered
aboard a steamer in the North river
were brought from various cities of
the West to forestall a threatened
strike on the subway and elevated
lines controlled by the Interborough
Rapid Transit company.
In spite of the efforts to keep the
arrival of the men a secret the en-
ployes of the Interborough company
were informed and at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Amalga-
mated association, which did not break
up until morning, the situation was
thoroughly discussed. The opinion
was unofIicially expressed that strike
cannot be avoided.
1t is understood that agents acting
for the company expect to mobilize a
force Of at least 1000. The first clause
of the contracts with the men speci-
fies that the applicant fully under
stands that this is for strike work in
the city of New York" Those who
desert are to receive no pay what
ever.

CHICAGO WOMAN'S CREED.
Mrs. Paul Forwerg Urges killing of
Imbecile Children at Birth.

Mrs. Paul FOrwerE Urges Killing OF
Imbecile Children at Birth.
Voicing plea for the determination
at birth Of the cripple, the epileptic and
the imbecile, Mrs. Paul Forwerg of
Chicago recently made the astounding
claim before the meeting of the Social
Economics club In Chicago that such
action Is taken daily in the hospitals
of Chicago to hide the results of bum
Cling operations. Male members of the
medical profession have made sugges-
tions along this line, but 1t remained
for Chicago women to carry the idea
to the startling extreme, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Other sentiments Of sensational
character were expressed at the meet
ing, and woe betide the cripple, the
criminal, the epileptic and the imbecile
should the suggestions made by Mrs.
Forwerg meet with universal approval,
for such humane treatment as Is ac-
corded unlicensed dogs when they fall
into the hands OF the poundmaster-
asphyxiation by sulphur or fornalin-
will be their portion.
Environment and Philanthropic In
stitutions" was the topic under discus
sion, and while most of the members
pleaded for the support Of institutions
for the mentally and physically ailing
Mrs. Forwerg stood stoically for her
theories.
'All mentally and morally deficient
children should be put out of existence
at BIRTH" she said, ''or as soon as their
defects are noted. We only retard our
own development by maintaining them
In public institutions.
I'VE should have a state college of
physicians authorized to exterminate
such humans. Similar action is taken
daily In our hospitals to hide the re-
suits Of bungling operations, 1t is the
union of such classes today that brings
forth the criminals and mentally def
cient people Of the next generation.
They become burden on the public"
Mrs. L. NJ. Heath gave professional
men piece Of her mind. She said:
"If all lawyers, clergymen and physi-
clans were suppressed the world would
be better. They dominate the minds
of the people instead Of permitting them
to be guided by their own intuition"

WYNDHAM QUITS HIS POSITION

Resignation.

announced in the house of commons
during the day that Mr.. Wyndham, the
chief secretary for Ireland. had re-

In announcing the resignation of Mr..
Wyndham the premier said he had
been unable any longer to withstand
the appeals of Mr.. Wyndham to be al
lowed to resign. Mr.. Wyndham did
not believe that he would be able at
the present time to support all the
labors and anxieties of his great office.
but his principal reason for resigning
was the fact that the recent contro-
versy inside and outside the house had
greatly impaired If not altogether de-
stroyed the value of the work he could
perform as chief secretary for Ireland.
