DOG SWALLOWS A WASP
Creates a Panic In Bloomfield, N. j.,
When 1t Stings, and Is Proba-
bly, Running Yet
Special to The Herald

Special TO The Heralu
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-"Fly," an
Irish setter owned by superintendent
August F.. Olsen of the fire alarm sys-
tenn of Bloomfield, N. j., which earned
its name by it's mania for catching the
troublesome insects, came to grief yes
terday while engaging in it's usual
hunt for flies.
The dog was nosing about in the
kitchen when a wasp came in and
settled on the window screen. Fly was
on deck Immediately and swallowed
the wasp.
Suddenly the dog began to bark and
howl and run around in a circle. The
terrified Olsen family fled to the cellar,
believing that Fly had gone mad. on
its journey through the house the dog
upset chairs, wrecked several stands
supporting bric-a-brac and cut glass,
and finally jumped through a window.
When the animal reached the street
the cry of mad dog" was raised.
Many pursued the dog with sticks and
stones, but failed to capture It, The
chase was abandoned when Olsen ar
rived and told the crowd what had
happened.
The dog hadn't returned home last
night.

MRS. DANE NEEDS
NO DEFENSE
BELASC0 OFFERING ALL THAT
COULD BE DESIRED
Henry A. Jones' Brilliant Play Ad.
mirabIy Presented - Bosworth,
harrington, Gardner and Wv
ian Gather Hor ors

Mrs. Danes Defense" as presented
at the Belasco theater this week, needs
neither defense nor apology. The whole
performance ranks we'll up with any
thing that that fine organization has
ever done, and the Individual roles, in
some cases, are as we'll taken as could
be ina gined.
Barring the fact that last night, be-
ing the opening, things dragged too
much, and 1t was midnight before the
final curtain fell. one could hardly find
fault with the production.
AS to the play, 1t Is one of the mas
terpleces OF Henry Arthur Jones, spark
ling with eplgram and scintillating with
brillancy. The action moves leisurely
but inevitably, and that great third act,
the duel between the lawyer and the
lying woman, is marvelously strong.
1t has been done here before, hence is
really no stranger, but one cannot tire
OF so fine piece Of dramatics, and
rehearing of Ii but makes for further
benefit and enjoyment.
In the individual portrayals honors
were carried off by Hobart Bosworth
as Carteret, superb performance;
Adele Harrington as Lady Eastney, a
marvel of naturalness and clever art;
Amelia Gardner as the sincere and af-
fecting Mrs. Dane and Richard Vivian
as young Carteret.
These four carry the burden of the
play, and in all particulars they could
scarcely be bettered. Bosworths fine
art shines all through the trying role of
the great lawyer, and Miss Farrlngton's
cleverness in that of the widow stands
out forcibly from the first.
Miss Gardner has a hard part in that
of the heroine, with many "weeps" and
much repression. but she manages 1t
well.
Vivian's portrayal Of the unlocked cub
is fine. Clarance Mountaine as the
vicar is better in makeup than he is in
portrayal; he is inclined to caricature
too much. The minor roles are ade-
quately handled. The mountings are
fine and the costuming fully equal to
all requirements.

PASADENA. Aug. 20.-Chief of Po-
lice Pinkham sent the name of Charles
e. Hayes to the city commissioners to-
day for confirmation as regular patrol
man to succeed Patrolman David Beas-
ley, who resigned some months ago.
The appointment was promptly agreed
to. This is to be rapidly followed by
the appointment of five or six more
policemen. the police department bud
get as allowed last Thursday by the
city council calling for six policemen
to be added to the regular force.
The department, as pointed out in
The Herald some weeks ago, has
been getting along short handed for
long time, presumably in the interest
of economy, but, according to the view
of the city fathers. such condition
must not exist longer. The force at
the present time is less than 1t has
been for wears. Notwithstanding the
fact that the CITY has been growing
steadily. The recent annexation of the
East Pasadena and Oak Knoll dis
tricts makes it imperative to extend
the strong arm of police protection.
The needed men will be appointed
from time to time as suitable candi-
dates present themselves.

VINELESS SPUDS ARE FRAUDS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-"Vineless
potatoes grown in bins above ground in

ritory or Individual growers rights.
Vineless Potato company, Pullman,
ILL.,"
This little advertisement inserted in
a farm journal, has kept three depart
ments of the government at work for
the last three months. AS a result of
the combined efforts of the departments
OF agriculture, justice and postoffice, it
has been decided that w. d. Darst of
Chicago, the discoverer of this Won
derful scheme to make every cellar and
back yard potato farm, was faker
and fraud order has been issued
mails.
Darst offered for $25 to give license
to any individual to grow his vineless
potatoes and for $100 he would sell the
rights of 'hull durn county" AS
little side graft he sold secret COM
pound known as 'potatine" for $3.50
a package. The chemists of the agri-
cultural department say this was low
grade of sulphate of potassium, worth
about 23 cents. The plant experts of
the department admitted that vineless
potatoes could be grown, but they are
small and only develop while the
starch of the seed potato lasts.
According to Darst's circulars bin
10 feet wide, 5 feet high and 100 feet
long would produce 300 to $50 bushels
of potatoes in sixty days. The bin was
to filled with bedding, the secret of
which Darst refused to give until he got
the $25 from the prospective vineless

A Remarkable Sermon.
Lecture and Talk by
a Remarkable Man
If You Did Not
Hear 1t, Read 1t
Ponder and Consider Well Before
You Condemn the Man or
Refuse to Accept the
True Philosophy of
His Teachings

The following was delivered by Prof.
Burner before large audience in
Burner hall Of the New Temple of
Health, 512-514 South Broadway, SUN
day. August 10. 1906:
1t is not drugs, nor a surgical oper-
alton that the sick want or need to
make them well. but it is Common
Sense. Good Care, Diet, Rest and God
and Natures Remedies, not poisons,
not drastic drugs, not emetics, nor
cathartics.
Less calomel, strychnine, arsenic,
opium, quinine, iron and other min
eral and vegetable poisons, less food,
but better quality, selected with
greater care, less worry and more
wordsworth without care, fear and
tension-more broad common SENSE
more and truer love for humanity, for
God. for self and family, state and
nation. A constant prayer of conf
dence. faith and hope-a prayer that
each individual will see to II that it
is answered by doing all that is within
his power to answer 1t by his own
thoughts, mind and action.
True prayer is the highest desire of
human soul, and no intelligent,
sound minded individual will ever pray
TO GOu, OF any OlucI uellyB lOI Iildl
which he himself can do or get or
cause to be done.
You may not be able to do this and
drink whisky, wine, beer or even tea
or coffee. You may not be able to for
give your own sins until you stop
eating pork, limburger cheese (spoi' ed
milk product), sauerkraut Gotten cab
bage), and other gross and filthy foods,
and don't forget that God. This is
enervating influence of the so-called
Christian Catholic and other derom-
national churches of the world. They
all teach more or less a false doctrine
and educate not only their members.
but directly and indirectly the whole
people to fear alike the devil, hell, God
and nature. This is all wrong. No
man, woman or child should fear God.
