Scores Carnegie.

CINCINNATI, April 24.-In accept
ing the new Walnut Hill branch build
ing of the public library of Cincinnati
a few days ago, Mayor E. J. Dempsey
did not mention the name Of Andrew
Carnegie, who literally contributed to-
ward the erection of the handsome edi
flee. The omission has caused a good
deal of speculation as to the mayors
motives.
The other speakers lauded Carnegie
with eloquent adjectives, but the mayor
did not refer to him at all. The mayor,
asked about the incident, said today:
Il purposely refrained from any
reference to Carnegie. 1 have no deep
admiration for a man who has made
millions out of the sweat and blood of
the toiling classes and who attempts
to atone for the offense by giving
away buildings and thus advertising
himself as a philanthropist. The place
where beneficence should have begun
was in his workshop and the Workmen
should have had the first benefit.

HUDSON, Wis, April 24.-John
Thrill. the mysterious German doctor"
of Somerset, who is said to have per-
formed many remarkable cures during
the past winter, will be allowed to go
on practicing without further interfer-
ence on the part of the state board of
medical examiners, which ordered the
district Attorney of ST. Croix county
two weeks ago to prosecute him for
treating patients without having a
state license or certificate as a physi-
clan and surgeon.
A week ago today John Thill was
tried in the county court here for
treating Andrew Solberg, and the jury
of six Hudson citizens found him not
guilty. Immediately afterward the dis
trict attorney began action against
Thill for three similar acts, and the
matter came up for trial yesterday
morning The case was fought out
vigorously on both sides, with the court

with it until midnight, when they re-
ported a hopeless disagreement, four
standing for acquittal and two for
conviction.
The district attorney thereupOn in
formed the court that all further ac-
tio,. against the defendant would be
dropped It was apparent to the prose-
cution that, on account of the strong
popular feeling for Thrill, no jury
would render a verdict of guilty
against him. Had not the matter been
dropped, it is reported on good author
ity that counter suits would have been
brought against the physicians behind
the prosecution on the ground of per-
secution. it being charged that the
prosecution was brought for the pur-
pose of driving Thill out of the coun-
try.
John Thrill is one of the strangest
men that ever appeared in court
room. He looks like hermit OF the

to be almost miraculous, and the peO-
pie of Somerset, where he stays with

almost religious zeal. Many of them

into panic is the sight of fur. In his
mind furs are associated with some
enemy or tormentor of the animal king
dom, and the sight and smell of fur
garments arouse former fears. Some
horses never do get over this weak
ness, and many dealers can vouch for
