dilapidated frame and brick buildings or-
cupied by those poor creatures who live
from hand 10 mouth. Most OF them ara
without drainage and water facilities, and
IN winter and summer breed disease and
death. The police during the fiscal year

committee, again stated the object of their
prospective lahcrs. and said that no had
deemed II proper TO call upon the lieuten-
ants of police in all precincts IA the city
TO report alleys which would probably best
come under the head of minor streets in
the future. He said that in this order to
the iieutenants the latter had been advised
TO always take into consideration the luca-
ton Of the alleys. the character OF the
houses in them. the occupants and their
mode of living and the moral tone OF the
locality together with the effect the pro-
posed change would have on neighboring
conditions; how the conversion OF such al
legs into minor streets would tend TO benefit
through public hetterment OF trade. and IN
fact, that the hcutenants had been direct
ed to take cognizance of anything and
everything that might be Of interest or
value 10 The committee in its labors.

Joseph Wartscher Will Start tor
Europe in Attempt to Ely
Across Atlantic
A DARING YOUNG AERoNAuT
Young Swiss Has Made Study of the
Subject and Believes He Will Be
Able to Make the Trip From coney
Island to British lsles-BiIl Devery,
Banker.

New York, May 15.-If everything
goes all right with Joseph Wartscher
he will start for Europe in August from
Coney island, in a balloon. He has
come to this country with the notion
dead set in his mind, that he will ac-
complish what he starts out to do.
Mr.. Wartscher is an aeronaut of eN-
perience and something of chemist,
as we'll as meteorologst. He is IS
years old, born in Innsbruck, in the
Tyrol. and he has spent a good part of
his young manhood away up in the air.
Like a good many other aeronauts,
Wartscher has had the transatlantic
bee in his bonnet for long time. He
has studied the scheme of passing from
the western to the eastern hemisphere
across the north Atlantic for long
time, and he is convinced that the trip
from Coney island to some point ON
the other continent or somewhere in
the British isles can be made with an
astonishing degree of certainty and
safety in something like four days.

Millions Spent to
Make Clean Beer
cIeanest Manufacturing Process Known
Is That of the Leading Ameri-
can Brewery,

| We regard beer as food and the
| business of brewing beer one of our
most important industries When we
tell our readers that without exception
| there is no other brewery in the world
so absolutely clean in it's process of
manufacture as Pabst. we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
represents an outlay of millions of dol
lars, and many of those millions have
been expended to make the Pabst ex-
elusive process absolutely clean. Pabst
Beer stands alone today, the only food
product that from the beginning to the
end of it's manufacture is absolutely
beyond the reach of even the contain
mating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in wa
ter to steriize them. Pabst boils his
brew in closed kettles and thus steri-
Lies it. From there it passes thru
sterilized pipes to sterilized hermeti-
cally sealed tanks, where it is ferment-
ed. Then thru more sterilized pipes 1t
goes to sterilized herme tically sealed
storage tanks, and when bottled 1t Is
pasteurized. Turnout the entire process
it never is touched by human hands
and comes in contact only with steril-
lied air. No other food product known
can show such a record Of positive
cleanliness.
This process Of manufacture is the
exclusive Pabst method. 1t is one rea-
son for the always the same, always
the best" reputation of Pa,bst Beer.
The cleanest beer and the richest
beer, Pabst Beer has no equal as a
mild. refreshing healthful beverage.

OIL. KINGS FATHER LIVES.
Frank Rockefeller, However, Says it Is
None of Public's Business.


None Of Public's Business.
cleveland, May 15.-"Whoever says
that my father died before John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., was born lies. My
father is alive. so far as l know, and L
know pretty we'll. If he died today l
would hear of it Immediately.
"Of course, ] am not on good terms
with John D. Rockefeller, but l do not
think he told New York newspaper
men that his father died before John D..
Jr., was born.
OR. William Livingston was not my
father and of course not the father Of
John D. Rockefeller"
In these terse sentences Frank Rock
efeller, in his office in the Garfield
building, yesterday disposed of the
New York story to the effect that DR..
Livingston, the aged Freeport, ILL.,,
man who died within the last few days,
was his father, and also of the So
called authentic statement that the
father of ]. D. Rockefeller and Frank
Rockefeller has been dead many years.
None of PubIic's Business.
It was suggested yesterday to Frank
Rockefeller that he might we'll tell at
the present time the present residence
of his father since he denied so vehe-
mently that DR.. William Livingston
was that person.
"Why should 1 tell?" asked the
brother of the oil king.
He was told that the public natur-
ally wanted to know.
ct is none of the public's business"
he replied.
"Why make mystery of it?" he was
asked.
There are 10000 people in Cleve-
land who know that Dr. Livingston
was not my father and that my father
did not die before John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., was born" he answered.
There Is No Mystery, He Says.
"There is no mystery, but 1 will not
consent to crafty the public's demand
to know all the past history of my
family. If they found out who my ia

AS a Joker Finn Leech has something
of a reputation, and it has been just
such pranks as he performed at COM
mittee meeting in the early days OF
Fargo that gained for him his reputa-
ton.
1t was the opening Of a hot municipal
campaign Two tickets were in the field
and both sides had perfected organisa-
ton. AS usual, the genial fat man was
lined up strong with one sidesand was
among the selected few who, with the
candidates for office, were invited to a
meeting to consider ways and means
for the carrying on Of the campaign.
The meeting had hardly been opened
when one of the candidates, man who
has since quit the political game, arose
and stated that on account Of the press
of other business he would not be able
to remain and take part in the deliber-
ations.

BIG BILL DEvERY, BANKER.
New Works Former Chief of Police
is Rich.

New York. May 15.-It was learned
in financial circles yesterday that Will
lam S. Devery, former chief of police,
is to start a bank in this city at an
early date. Big Bill has so much
money that he cannot use it all in the
real estate business, it is said, and
for some time has been considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of embarking in the
banking business so that he may find
employment for his capital.
Coupled with Mr.. Devery's name. in
connection with the new venture, is
that of r. r. Moore, until recently
resident of the New Amsterdam Ma
tional bank. Not long ago Mr. Moore
clashed with C. W. Morse who is the
controlling spirit in the New Amster-
dam bank. with the result that Mr..
Moore left the institution and Miles
O'Brien was elected in his place.

York seem significant In the past
thirteen years the increase in this state
has amounted to no less than 20 per
cent In the ratio of the insane to the
general population.
DR. William b. Prtchard who is
consulting neuroogist at Smith Insti-
tute, station Island. is one of the ply
scians who believe that too much sem
sationalism in reform propaganda has
had much to do with increasing the
ruBher of the insane. DR.. Pritchard
said
Doctrines Are Insane.
The intensity of the political aSita-
tons of the period have certainly had
their effect. There have been Bryan
ism and free silver, municipal owner
ship socialism and other insane doc
trines-yes, ] stand by that. insane
doctrines-and many persons Of weak
minds have been so confused by the
cashng of opinions that they have be-
come insane.
Il do not mean that there are not
sane free siverites and sane believers
in municipal ownership and sane So
calists What believe is that the ag-
itation of these theories has in some
cases driven to insanity persons who
were already pre- disposed in that di-
rcction.
Il believe that the sensationalism
which has been injected into much of
the social and political reform move
ment of recent years has had similar
result There is no doubt that the
country Is passing thru an important
epoch OF municipal and governmental
betterrnent. but there is also no doubt
that regrettable element of sensation
