Seem TO Have Been Patched Up.
HEAR PUBLIC.
President Hoy Says He will
Hereafter Always Give People
a Chance to Speak When
They Appear.

The Board OF Excise Commissions
ers met at Mayor Braces call last
night at his residence in High street,
with the mayor and Recorder H. E.
Pickersgill present. The question !
of the boards conduct of affairs and
its difference with the recorder were
gone over. and the result was that
the members of the board requested
the recorder to appear before them
at their next meeting and present the (
list which he had ready at the last
meeting containing twelve saloons
which are not run by the license
holders.
The board also agreed to listen. in
the future, to any signed communi-
cations and to give them due atten-
tion and justice.
The mayor and the recorder be-
lieve that the board will be more
careful in the future in its conduct
of excise matters, as the public agita-
ton would certainly be resumed if
there fails to be noticed change for
the better. According TO a state
ment made this morning the board
agreed to abide by the public's will
The commissioners, that is those
who have been the leading spirits
among them, discIaImed, Il is said,
any intention of ever going contrary
to what the people of the city desired
and President Hoy is said to have de-
clared that he had not intended to
prevent Recorder Pickersgill's list.
which had been promised at the
previous meeting, from being read at
the last meeting, that memorable one
of last Thursday night.
A statement was prepared for the
press at the interview last night in
which it is set forth that the differ
ence between the excise board and
the recorder have been amicably adj
justed N that the board will listen
to VIII 5er the recorder has to pre-
a-at - the next meeting and that all
signed communications will in future
be treated with perfect fairness and
justice.
In this written statement it is also
set forth that some" of the accusa-
tons made against the board have
been untrue. This refers to some
talk which has been going the rounds
among people who keep track of pub
lie affairs, and not to anything that
has been said in the papers.
There will be no further action
taken, it is understood, if the affairs
of the board are conducted from now
on in a proper manner and with a
proper regard for the interests of the
public
The next regular meeting of the
board is scheduled for next Thursday
night, February l, and Recorder
Pickersgill has declared his intention
to appear before the board at that
time with the list which he has had
since before the last meeting.
An account of this list has already
been given, it being based on the in
spection made by Chief of Police
Burke and Detective Sergeant Huff.
It is also said that as one result OF
last nights conference. a certain
member of the excise board will not.
at certain times, TO use the lingo of
George Ade, hand out such line OF
talk" about certain public officials as
he has been heard to do in the recent
past.

{ottenvi||e When Horse Took
Fright and Dashed Off.
SAW THE WATER.
Fearing the Animal Would Go
Overheard She Decided TO Risk
Jumping Conclusion Of
the Brain.

Miss Lillian NJ Graham, of 315
State street, leaped from a carriage
being drawn rapidly toward the
sound by runaway horse i'll Totten-
Vile yesterday afternoon and was
badly injured She was carried 10
the home of her aunt, Mrs. Richard
Christopher, in William street, and
three doctors were hastily summon
ed. She has conclusion OF the
brain and the drum head of an ear is
ruptured. She will recover, but it
will be several days before she can be
brought to this city.
Miss Graham, with her friend,
Miss Augusta M. Harrington, of 113
High street, had been spending the
day with Mrs. christopher and when
they were ready to return home
hack was called. The carriage,
owned by Edward Woglom, had
spirited horse attached to it. Miss
Graham had stepped into the car
riage and Miss Harrington was about
to follow when something frightened
the horse, and he started on wild
tear down the street. Mr.. Woglom
tried TO grab the frightened animal,
but was knocked down and slightly
injured.
The maddened horse ran down
William street with Miss Graham
alone in the carriage. Just before
reaching Broadway Miss Graham
could see the river ahead and fearing
that the animal might dash over
board, she decided to jump. She
but the carriage was swaying from
one side to the other and she lost her
balance and fell, striking on her
head.
Friends quickly ran to her aid and
it could be seen at once that she had
been badly hurt. She was carried to
the home of Mrs. Christopher and
Drs. Meyers and Coleman, of Totten-
Vile, were hurriedly summoned.
Later Dr. j. L. Lund, of this city,
was sent for.
1t was found that Miss Graham
had a concussion of the brain and
also that the ruptured drum head
had caused hemorrhage. In speak
ing about this to a NEWS reporter
DR.. Coleman said that the rupture
had probably prevented clot of
blood remaining on the brain, which
would have been very serious.
After Miss Graham had been pick
ed up, the horse kept on his wild tear.
He ran to Broadway, where he came
in contact with telegraph pole,
smashing the carriage, but this did
not stop him. He continued down
Broadway with only the shafts of the
carriage behind him.
In front of truck house No. 101, in
Broadway, number of the firemen
were sitting and Fireman Slattery,
hearing the horse coming, ran out
and managed to stop the animal,
which he turned over to one of the
employees of Mr.. Woglom.
A NEWS reporter called at the
Graham home today. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Graham were in Tottenville, but
William Graham, brother of Miss
Graham, said that his sister was get
ting along as nicely as could be eX-
pected.

uohbcs and Geometry.

Hobbies was hot yet fifteen when he
went to Oxford. He did not much
care for logic, yet he learned it and
thought himself a good disputant
There is no reason to think he learned
anything else at Oxford save a strong
dislike of academic institutions and
methods. He turned from the official
studies to amuse himself with geogra-
ply and voyages. AS to mathematics,
there was no official recognition Of
them at all while Hobbies was at the
university, so there is nothing improb
able In the statement that Hobbies had
never opened copy Of Euclid until be
was near middle age. The story is best
told In Aubrey's own words:
"He was forty years old when be
looked on geometry, which happened
accidentally. Being in a gentleman's
library, 'Euclid's Elements lay open,
and it was the forty-seventh PROPOSE
ton Lib. I, 50 he read the PROPOSE
tor. BY George says he, this is i'm
possibler So be read the demonstra-
ton Of it, which referred him back to
another, which he also read, 'etsic dein-
ceps,' that at last be was demonstra-
lively convinced Of that truth. This
made him in love with geometry"

Delawnre'n Hundreds.

creased in membership, but did not
lose their individual identity or change
the designation of organization. In
the nature. events these hun
dreds expanded into5 communities and
ultimately: into geographical divisions

division, and thus we still have hun

ORDER OF THE GARTER.
Etc tIleged Ballroom Origin Only
Legendary Romance


The origin oi the Order Of the Golden
Fleece is, like that OF the Garter,
shroudcd in mystery. Very few mod
eru archaeoIo-ists attach any crcdence
to the vulgar tradition, wholly unsup-
ported by any authority, that at court
ball given By Edward III. lady, sup
posed 10 be the Countess OF Salisbury,
dropped her garter, and the king, TAX
ing it up and observing some Of his
courticrs to smile as though they
thought he had not obtained this favor
merely by accident, exclaimed in
loud voice. ':Honi soft qui NAL y pense."
There is another opinion which traces
the origin Of this order, which, accord
Ing to the learned Seldom, exceeds in
majesty, honor and fame all the chiv-
alrous orders in the world" to Richard
Occur dc Lion having upon the occa-
sion of some warlike expedition during
his wars in Palestine chosen leathern
thonged garter as the distinctive mark
Of his partisans. Yet another theory
ascribes the foundation Of the order to
the fact that Edward at the battle. Of
Crecy issued his garter aa signal for
battle, which, proving successful, deter
mined him to institute the order In
memory Of the event.
Both these opinions are to certain
extent feasible, and the first is mate
rally fortified By the we'll known fact
that when the crusaders captured st.
Jean d'Acre in a nocturnal assault the
knights Of the Christian army were or
dered to wear straps Of white leather
bound round the leg under the left knee
in order to distinguish them from the
!nfdels. o.
