Sale of the Heard Farm.

The Heard Brothers will sell their stock
farming tools, machinery, etc, at auction
on Saturday at 1890. They have sold their
farm to George K. Stebbins of this town.
This farm which is known as the Heard
farm, is one of the best in town, and was
bought in 1896 by William Heard or the
heirs of Arad Hunt, being known at that
time as the Gov. Hunt place. The house
is an old-time structure and was an elap-
crate mansion of colonial days, and Is
still we'll preserved. The chimney is or
massive design with an arched founda-
ton some 10 or II feet square and having
a large brick oven and four large nre-
places. The main rooms were furnished
with panel and carved work. 1t was a
frequent resort in Revolutionary times OF
officers of state and uniformed gentry OF
the colonial army, and If the ancient walis
could tell all the tales of romance which
they have witnessed they would un-
doubtedly be more interesting than most
of the thrilling stories of fiction. we re-
greet that the Heards thought best TO
mart with their old family home. C.
Mark Heard came from New York on
Monday on business connected with the
sale and returned on Wednesday, MRS.
Will Heard came from Manchester, N.

PARIs, Oct. 2S.-The police have dis
covered a trick, new to them. which has
been practised in the restaurants fire.
Quented after midnight by the better class
of people.
last night, in a resort IN Montmartre,
where city officials and opera stars are
we'll known and New Workers are some
times seen, a lawyer drew a louis from his
pocket to pay for his refreshment, where
upon a young woman Of engaging man
ners approached and, announcing herself
as a fetichist. asked permission to bite the
coin for good luck.
The lawyer was complainant, but the
girl, instead OF biting the coin, swallowed
It. Despite her alluring smiles the LAWYERS
complaisance changed to resentment. He
called a policeman and the girl vas ar
rested. At the station house the commits
sary ordered an emetic. Then, 10 the CON-
~sternation of those present, there came
into view not the louis, but two ten franc
pieces. The commissary urged a second
effort and the patient rid herself not OF
one. but two coins Of the desired denomi-
nation. Then she was locked up.
The police have learned hat she has been
practising her game with great success.
Most OF her victims smiled when the DIN
slipped down her throat, while the Others

FRANCE TO, EXPEL PRIESTS

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-On both sides the ques-
ton Of what is to be one by the Church
and State regarding the separation law
is becoming more acute daily. Just now
the priests, having indicated thaG they will
do the natural thing in line with their re-
li2ious duty and obey the Pope. have
aroused the Government Representatives
to the point Of declaring in some measur
what the Government will DO in December.
1t has already been intimated that the
Government would, in the language OF
Prime Minister Clemenceau, treat the
Pope as a foreign potentate, and therefore
without the right to give an order valid
In France. This has been one Of the causes
that nave aroused French Catholics to
greater energy of a~ntagonism, but it is now
declared that the Government, supported
by the Chamber, will amend the law so as
to enable it easily to get rid Of priests obey
ing the Pope without putting them in Jail.
The MGtin, which is in a position to know,
will publish tomorrow confirmation Of this
report. L will state that Parliament is
to add an article 10 the code empowering
the Government TO expel from France all
persons who obey the behests of a foreign
sovereign in contravention Of the avs OF
France.

TO IMPROVE THE BUMAN RACE.
Dr. Hayes Of the Agricultural Department
Takes Up a Difficult Task.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Willett NJ. Hayes,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, has
deserted the peaceful! study of scientific
farming and taken up the difficult task Of
improving the human race. He has APP
pointed a committee of eminent scientists
and educators. who are to make an in
vestigation of heredity in its application to
the human species and make a report at
the next meeting of the American Breeders
Association. OF which Mr.. Hayes was the
organizer. For many years, While he
was the head of the Minnesota expert
ment station. DR.. Hayes worked with
plants and animals and gave his heredity
ideas full play. He now wants to apply
his scientific deductions to human beings.
The committee will take up and devise
means Of recording the values Of the blood
Of the different races. They will make an
attempt to have the common people nder-
stand the value of superior blood and the
danger TO society Of inferior blood. They
will also suggest means for improving the
heredity Of the family, the people and lhe
race.
The committees work will he entirely
practical. They will suggest methods by
which the laws Of heredity can be applied
to men, 20 that disease, vice and crime
may be prevented. For instance, they
will TAX up such concrete questions as
whether two blind persons should he al
lowed to marry. II the investigations
prove that their marriage would cause the
transmission \of their defect to their chill
dren, the committee will suggest some
method to prevent such unions.
