But it Doesn't Drink.

''Soon after the first Linotype type
setting machine was installed in New
Mexico" said former Delegate Rodey
tonight, "a friend and myself went
over to the newspaper Office where
it was working and took a look at
it. 1t is a wonderful machine as ev-
erybody knows. My friend was much
impressed. He walked around the ma
chine and looked at it in awe and
wonder, and kept saying to himself,
Gee, whiz. That is an intelligent ma
chine. Amt that the uerndest most
intelligent machine you ever did
see? It's plumb human
Finally he was overcome by his
admiration He took off his hat and
made a low bow to the machine and
said: We certainly would feel highly
honored, Mr.. Machine, if you-all
would consent to come out and take
drink with US IN. Y. World.

Rector of Episcopal Church Charged
With Too Much Talk.
Batavia, N. Y, Apr. 1.-THE first
trial for many years in the Protest
ant Episcopal church is scheduled to
begin here today, when Rev Alger-
non Sidney Crapsey, D. D., for 25
years rector of ST. Andrews church
at Rochester, will be placed on trial
before an ecclesiastical court, charg-
ed with utterances from the pulpit
and in print which are alleged to be
violation of the tenets of the Prot
estant Episcopal faith. There is no
dispute as to what DR.. Crapsey said
The question at issue is whether or
not his preachings violate the doc
trines of the church. 1t is charged
that he has expressed disbelief in the
divinity of Christ, the conception of
the Holy Ghost, virgin birth, bodily
resurrection and the Trinity.

Humorist, Impersonator, Entertain

Here's a Jolly fellow,
With certain things to say;
He helps to chase the shadows
That curtain life's sad way.
He'll help you if you're bilious
And cheer you if you're glum;
In fact his Jolly thinklets
Are bound to make things hum
If you have Indigestion
Or any dull, old ache,
| think you'll find that jolly
Is the best thing you can take.
| know him and | like him.
| think he helps to bear
The weight of others sorrow
And drives away their care.

Why the Schools Closed.


To The Record:
There appearing. to be some erron-
eous impressions on the minds of ma
ny citizens as to the reason of the
closing of the City schools, l ask
little space in your paper for the pur-
pose of explaining this matter. l feel
the more anxious to make the expla-
nation because the report has gone
Abroad know not from what
source-that the City school funds
are exhausted.
The City School Board had nothing
whatever to do with closing the
schools. The City Council, acting up
on information received from sources
considered reliable, deemed it wise
to close the schools on account of in
fectious diseases in the city. and rec
commended that the health officers
take action in the matter; whereup-
on the health officers ordered the clos
ing of the schools, believing such ac-
ton to be in accordance with the
best interests Of the residents of the
city.
AS to the story of the exhausting
of the funds, l need only say, to re-
flute it, that the balance on the 10Th
inst to the credit of the City Schools

The first meeting of the newly cleo
with all the members present as fol-
lows: Bell, Burns, Church, Johnson,
Jump, Kinsinger. Stone, Whiteman,
Wisely, Wyllys. The new mayor, j.
W. Stockard, was sworn in, and the
new councilmen then took the oath.
The first thing was then to formal
ly organize the Council by the cleo
tion of President. Mr.. Church placed
in nomination George L. Wyllys, say
ing that Mr.. Wyllys had made a
most excellent and impartial Presi-
dent during the past two years, and
that he believed he should be re-
elected. The nomination was second
ed by Mr.. Jump. There being no 9th
er nominations, Mr.. Wyllys was unan-
imously elected.
Mayor Stockard announced that he
desired to make some appointments,
although he had not had as much
was not yet ready to name the City
Marshal. 1t was moved by Mr.. John
son that the Council go into execu-
tive session, which was accordingly
done.
After all had retired from the room,
except the aldermen and clerk, the
Mayors communication was opened
ha r
ments found therein:
X K. Scott, City Attorney.
Lucius Dills, City Engineer.
DIR. r. L. Bradley, City Physician.
Will Pavey, Pound Master.
William Fyffe, Scavenger.
The nominations were found to be
satisfactory, after a short discussion.
and they were all confirmed unani-
mously, except that of VIM. Fyffe,
there being one vote cast against his
confirmation.
The executive session was then dis
solved, and it was announced that
the Mayors appointees had been con
firmed A recess was then taken sub
.ject to the call of the Mayor
After the Council had adjourned
an informal discussion ensued. The
subject of the appointment of mar
shal and police judge was brought to
the attention of the Mayor. From his
remarks it is thought that Judge Bal
ley will be re-appointed, while he
declined to state whether or not he
would re-appoint Marshal Rascoe. Sc
ven members of the Council favored
Marshal Rascoe.

Remedy for Smallpox.

Globe-Democrat Correspondence.
In a recent issue of your paper |
saw a request of subscriber for
recipe for smallpox. This recipe has
been used to my knowledge in hund-
reds of cases, and | know it will pre-
vent or cure smallpox, without the
pittings or filings" says correspon-
dent of the San Jose News. when
Jenner discovered the cowpox in Eng
land the world of science hurled an
avalanche of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific school of
published this recipe as a panacea
for smallpox it passed unheeded. 1t
is unfailing as fate and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by well persons It will also
cure scarlet fever Here is the recipe
as l have used it to cure my children
of smallpox"
RECIPE Sulphate of link, l gr;
foxglove (digitalis), l grain; onehalf
teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two
teaspoonfuls of water. When thor
oughly mixed, add four ounces of wa
ter. Take teaspoonful every hour,
Either disease will disappear in IL
hours For a child smaller doses ac-
cording to age.
If counties would counsel their ply
sicians to use this there would be no
need of pest houses.
