stantly busy shifting the gangplank
up the wharf There was little rain

fall for the whole month of Septem-
Der was Axe inches, the larger part
of which fell in the last FIVE days.
The lowest stage of the river last
month was 6.5. and the highest was
|l1.9. In September last year. the
highest was 15.3, but the river this
year maintained higher average
throughout the month The highest
stage in 1904 was 80; in 1908, Go;
in 1902, ). These figures are, given
to show the marked change in the
stage of the river in the last two
years. The high stage last mouth
when it usually has been low prob
ably was due to the heavy rains pre-
cedng the month in June, July and
August. .s.t

Rlatherskite.

"Blatherskite" is an Americanism,
or, rather, an old word which has
survived chiefly in American usage,
The way it came to be popular here
is curious. 1t is really the old Scot
fish "blatherskite," from "blether, y
to talk nonsense (old Morse ''bladhr'
nonsense), and "skite," a term OF
'opprobrium. In the song, Maggie
Lauder" written about 1850. occur
the words, "Jog on your gait, ye
blatherskite. and this song was a
very popular one in the American
camp during the war of independ-
ence. Hence the vogue OF the express
sive word In its Americanized form.
"Bletherumskite" was the Irish YER

A Unique Oaceholder.

Charles f. Hunter, chief clerk in
the district court of Oklahoma City,
has established an astounding rec
ord. He declares his intention to re-
sign his position. and gives as his
chief reason the fact that the fees OF
his Office are exorbitant. A month
ago he gave emphasis to his views
on this matter by writing to the de-
.partment of justice. suggesting that
court clerks in the territory be put
on a stipulated salary of $4,000 a
year. In ninety days the clerk fees
in Hunters district amounted TO
more than $1,000, which is at the
rate of about $4,000 year. Hun
ter insists that this is little short of
wholesale robbery of lItigants and
that the evil should be corrected. He
was a Rough Rider sergeant In the
Spanish-American war, and owes his
present position to President Roose-
welt, who admires him.

There is not single street In
Gotham that unbends SO much on a
sultry night as does that portion OF
Fifth avenue lying between Forty
second street and Central Park. The
atmosphere of country or at least
suburban ease is contributed by the
comparatively large number of bare
headed women in white focks one
sees in the avenue; by the lounging
attitude OF the young men one sees
in the open hacks. and more partic-
ularly by the comparatively few men
in evening dress one sees through
the windows of the smart restau-
rants. Every one who walks, drives
or uses the avenue lounges along in
fashion more often to be seen in a
village street than on the most IA
nous thoroughfare in America. and
even the soft brilliancy that streams
from the curtained windows and the
open doors Of the all night bank does
not disturb the repose OF the spec
tacle. The final touch of relaxation
is added by the car etakers OF the
dwelling houses along the street, the
men sitting in the porehes in their
shirtsleeges and their women folk
in old Wrappers. gossiplng with WIS.,
itors Of their own social rank and
the idling policemen. 1t is Fifth ave-
nue. to be sure. but II might as well
be a street in darkest Suburbia. =

SAYS INSURANCE co.
BLOCKS LAWS PURPOSE

Albany, NJ Y, July 18.-After ms
pecting the lists of policy holders filed
by the New York and Mutual Life In
surance companies, Samuel Inter
meyer, general counsel for the Inter
national Policy Holders committee
this evening sent a written protest
to superintendent OF Insurance Kel-
ley, declaring that the lists did not
comply with the law, he said were
without street numbers, names are du-
plicated, names and addresses incor-
rect, and the lists generally so mac
curate that they furnish distinct ev-
idence of an organized scheme to kill
the operation of the law requiring
their filing"
The policy holders committee, Mr..
Untermeyer says, asks that the mat
ter be referred to the attorney gen
eral and threatens civil and criminal
suits to gain its rights. Superinten-
dent of Insurance Kelsey said after
reading the protest that the depart
ment would take note of any inaccu-
racies and correct them.

NEGRO REMOVED

Wilmington, Del, July 1S.-Enraged
by the brutal murder last evening OF
Jennie Jones, negro woman, by VIII

fifty Wilmington negroes this after
noon decided to go to Lynwood, Pa,
where Johns had been committed to
Jail and lynch him. Johns killed the
Jones girl by beating her over the
head with a stove leg.
The Wilmington police learned OF
the lynching expedition and had re-
moved Johns from the rickety Jail at
that place to the Chester, Pa, city
prison. The Wilmington police are
keeping sharp lookout to prevent the
negroes from leaving the city in a
body.

INSANE MAN
Plunges Knife into Two
Women Patients, KILL
ing Them Instantly.
Stabs Keeper Seriously

Scranton, Pa, July 18.-Made furi-
ously insane by the possession of a
rine inch surgeons knife, Igvatz
Krowszki, an insane trusty at the
Hillside Home, instantly killed two
women patients and seriously wounded
his keeper
The incident is one of the most des-
Lerate in the history OF Scranton's
large asylum. Krowszli is an In
sane mute and has been committed to
The institution for seven years. Here
tofore he had never manifested des-
perate disposition and enjoyed con-
siderable freedom. He waited on the
table, was barber Of ability and
generally useful.
While Dr., Lynch was in the dispen-
sary about 2 o'clock this afternoon
ne entered unobserved and seeing an
open case of surgical knives, chose
a ten inch amputating knife from the
case. Upon leaving the room he at
tempted the lives of Superintendent
Beemer's daughter a keeper in the
home, and two companions. Their
screams attracted the attention OF
George Paine, West Point graduate,
and son of DR.. Paine. of the institu-
ton. With Floyd Beemer, son of the
superintendent they rushed to the girls
assistance and cornered the mad man
IN the dispensary. Keeper Davis, Of
ward four, also responded. He advanc-
ed to secure the knife and while max
ling signs, KrowszKi rose from his
chair and plunged the knife through
Davis body. Young Beemer struck
bim with a chair but Krowszki ea-
capsd from the room and ran into
the women's drawing room where he
attempted the lives of several women.
He was driven from this refuge and
fed to the hall where he met his vic
tins. He plunged the knife clear
through Mrs. Anne Van Aliens body.
She died in Ave minutes.
Mrs. Annie Golden was the next
victim of the maniac. She was cut
from the middle of the breast to the
fifth rib on the back a slash of IL

Complaint was made that contrac-
tors on Walnut street paving were
sighting their work by not putting
Gufffcient tar filling between the
bricks to make an acceptable job to
the property owners who were hold

they would investigate.
Sarver thought that to avoid trou-
BILE with water in the future it would
be advisable to have a storm water
sewer put in on East Tuscarawas
street between the bridge and Belden
avenue before street was paved.
OLD TREE MUST GO.
Williams inquired what action the
council servers had decided to take
relative to removal of that historical
old tree on West Second street Buch-
man said that while no action had yet
been taken that in all probability it
would have to come down. Since be-
ing struck by lightning there was no

to retain it as a momento they could
cut it down and have it sawed into
lumber and use it in some manner
which would be of interest to them.
1t was agreed by all that this wouIu
he the proper manner in which to
dispose of the old landmark.
Buchanan asked for an opinion of his
oo-workers as to the proper place to
set the drinking fountain now stand
ing near the court house. which 1t is
the intention of the servers to move
and it was decided that either of two
places would be atisfactory-

Thomas Seeks a Third Term.

Imposition Against LICK "anes'
Thomas Seeks a Third Term.
Akron, O., July 18.-An incident
here which may mean that
the anti-Dick sentiment in Summit
county Is on the wane. Attorney Os-
borne Esgate, one of the insurgent
leaders and regarded as Congressman
w. Aubrey Thomas's mouthpiece in
Summit county, announced that Con-
gressman Thomas will run for third
term. This puts crimp in the con-
gressional aspirations of Attorney A.
]. Rowley and Judge R. M. Wana-
maker.
Esgate was candidate this spring
for common pleas judge, but was made
very sore when the insurgents all
f1ocked to Dayton A. Doyle, General
Dicks law partner, whom they helped
defeat a year ago. in favor of Judge
Wanamaker out for a third term.
1t was said tonight that the insur-
gents in the senator's home county
may be still further won over by the
consent of Dick to the appointment OF
William B. Baldwin, Republican edi-
tor and another prominent Thomas
booster, to be Akron's postmaster.
