THE SHREW MOUSE.
Some Queer superstitiOns About q
Harmless Little Animal.

some Queer SuperstittOns About u
Harmless Little Animal.
The shrew, or shrew mouse, as 1t Is
commonly called, Is found In nearly all
parts Of the world 1t IL distinguished
by an elongated. pointed muzzle, small
eyes. plantigrade. six toed feet and
glands that secrete musky huid. Al
together It closely resembles mouse,
but 1t Is really not related to the mouse
family.
When at home It Is either under n
pile Of rubbish or In Il hole which 1t
has burrowed In the earth. 1t IL
nocturnal In Its habits, but perfectly
harmless. yet at one time 1t was much
dsllked and prosecuted because 1t was
thought to be dangerous. mlschlevous
animal. Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
and the English believed that II a
shrew ran over an animals foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed; hence II a horse, n
COW or a goat became little stiff In its
limbs the foolish people at once declar-
ed 1t ''shrew struck" and the poor
shrews had to suffer In consequence.
OF course the "shrew struck" animal
had to have something to cure 1t, so
an ash tree was selected. and deep
hole was bored into It's trunk, Then n
shrew was captured, put alive into the
hole, the hole was securely plugged
and the innocent little animal was left
to die Of starvation.
The ignorant believed that after such
an act the ash tree had power to cure
"shrew struck" animals, and whenever
an animal became inactive or Il little
numb In its limbs Its owner hurried to
the "shrew ASH" cut switch from 1t
and switched the "shrew struck beast,
The smarting caused by the switching
naturally made the helpless animal
move about as much as 1t possibly
could, and In short time 1t was pro
nOunced cured.

PRIEST KEPT
FROM DYING
WOMAN
Father McCartie, From Altar,
DenOunces Barring Assist
ant From Deathbed.

Members of st. Michael's Catholic
Church were amazed yesterday MORN
ing when their pastor, the Rev. Dennis
]. McCartie, spoke from the pulpit of
an occurrence in the parish which he
termed an outrage, at all the masses
yesterday.
hen seen by reporter later the priest
refused to dwell on the subject. "The
incident is closed,,'' said he, 'and de-
cline to a1lude to it at ALL"
Father McCartie stated that his as
sistant, the Rev. Thomas A. Walsh,
had been called at o'clock last Satur-
day morning by the husband of dying
woman who was a member Of the par
ish and who wanted the last rites of
the church administered When he
reached her home in Belleville avenue
his way to the sick room was barred
by the nurse, acting on the doctors $
orders, and the door was closed in the
priests face.
Father Walsh waited outside of the
house for fully fifteen minutes and then
returned to the rectory and told his
superior what had happened.
At the outset yesterday the pastor
stated that it grieved him to be COM
PEELED to bring up the matter, but he
felt 1t was his duty to do so, for the
woman died without receiving the last
rites of the church, due to the action
of the nurse and physician, both being
Protestants. Father McCartie said;
when Father Walsh reached the
house he tapped the door quietly, and
the door of the room from which the
moaning came opened. The nurse par
nd nj ~
self in the narrow aperture, so as to
prevent his entrance. inquired who he
was and what he wanted.
"Those questions were put In a sharp
tone Of voice. and in disrespectful and
offensive manner, and they we're entirely
unnecessary, as the woman could easily
perceive from Father Walsh's clerical dress
that he was a Catholic priest Father
Walsh quietly explained the purpose of
his visit and informed her that he had
been called to administer the last sacra-
meats of the church to dying person
and that ho wished to enter the apartment
to perform that prestIy office. The nurse.
still effectually barring the entrance,
turned to the doctor, who was within the
room. and said: There is a clergyman
here. Do you wish him to go in?' The
doctor replied: He is not wanted here,
and the nurse, without further delay,
abruptly and unceremoniously closed the
door in the priests face
The priest dwelt at length upon the sur
ferings Of the woman and stated that II
was her one desire before she became un-
conscious was to receive the sacraments-
He stated that the action OF the physician
and the nurse was unprecedented and un-
paraIIeled in his experience, and denounced
1t in open TERMS
In concluding the priest said that the
physician was young and inexperienced
and that he hoped he would profit by the
lesson and not Interfere with religious OBJ
servances in the future.

Supreme Court Justice Pit
ney Refuses to Set Aside
Ordinance.
ADOPTED BY JERSEY CITY
Trolley Company Fails to Con-
vince Judge of Unreasonable
ness of Measure and He
Rules That II Should Stand. .
May Be Some Exceptions.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Nov. 11.--In an opinion
filed in the Supreme Court TODAY JUS
tice Pitney refused 10 set aside the or
dinance passed by the Board of Alder
men of Jersey City requiring the North
Jersey Street Railway Company to run
cars between the hours of $50 and 7
o'clock from their terminals at the
Pennsylvania and Erie Railroads, so as
to afford each passenger a seat.
The ordinance was attacked by the
trolley company on the ground that
1t was unreasonable. Justice Pitney, in
his opinion, held that it had not been
shown that the ordinance was an un-
reasonable one. The syllabus of the
opinion follows: where the subject
matter of an ordinance is within the
police power of municipality, the or
dinance being adopted by the proper
legislative body in the municipality, the
presumption is until the contrary is
shown that the ordinance is reasona-
BILE.
The question of the reasonableness
of an ordinance is a question of fact,
and the burden of proof is upon those
who attack 1t. The court will not in
terfere unless 1t is clearly shown that
the ordinance, either upon the face of
its provisions or by reason of its opera
tion in the circumstances under which
it is to take effect, is unreasonable or
oppressive.
If an ordinance may operate reason
ably In some instances or clrcum-
stances and unreasonably in others, it
is not wholly void and should not be
set aside in toto, but should be permit
ted to stand to the end, that 1t may be
enforced, except in particular cases,
where it may be made to appear that
the circumstances render the operation
of its provisions as unreasonable or
oppressive.
The ordinance under review regulates
the running of trolley cars in Jersey
City from the terminals at the Pennsyl-
vania and Erie railroad stations dur
ing the evening or rush" hours. The
ordinance not appearing to be at all
unreasonable in its application to the
Erie terminal, and not under all cir
cumstances unreasonable in its appli-
cation to the Pennsylvania terminal, it
will not be set aside in toto.
