An ordinance has been introduced in the
Camden City Council to set ten o'clock p
m. as the hour for roller skating on the
city's asphalt streets to cease. Complaint
has been made to the authorities that the
pastime continues some times as late as one
O'Clock. Roller skating has surely taken a
strong hold on Camden's young men and
maidens, and like all other fads there are
some who carry it TO the last extreme. The
police might be instructed to put stop to
late skating without going to severe restric-
tive measures. Don't hamper the young
sters too much.

Rats as Judges of Ivory.

The ivory dealer pointed to a half
dozen rats gnawing among the yellow
heaps of tusks and ivory fragments
in the garret,
They are quite tame, you see," he
said "Why shouldn't they be so?
The fact is, they are ON my payroll
They work for me. Their wages are
a pound of cheese and loaf of bread
a week.
Ivory dealers like rats, for rats are
lvory's best judges, and without their
help we should often want higher
price for a bad tusk than for a fine
one
He took fragment of ivory from
the floor and pointed TO certain small
burrows in its surface.
THE rats did that" he said. "Those
furrows are proof of the ivory's ex-
cellenee. Rats gnaw the ivory that
contains animal glue, or gelatine, a
substance of which they are fond, And
this substance 1t is that makes ivory
excellent, yet a mere man can't tell
whether tusk contains 1t or not.
"The rats can tell. They are ivory
experts, and they work so cheap"

Matter.
COMMITTEES In SESSION
Decide ON an Increase of SIS
Per Month.
Po lice land Fire
Departments will Get Nice
Boost in Wages.

The local policemen and firemen
Iwill receive increases in their sal
alles, but not as much as they had
hoped to get. As "a result Of a
conference held by members Of the
finance committee of the council
and members Of the safety board,
Monday morning, it is now a prac-
tical certainty that the maximum
salary of the police and tiremen
will be increased from $50 to 500 a
month.
The council was originally asked
to grant the men in both depart
ments an increase Of $40 month
but members of the finance com
mittee are inclined to think that this
would be too much to grant at one
time. This would raise the maxi
mum salary to $40 a month.
1t was practically agreed this
morning to adopt resolution at
the council meeting tonight, grant
ing So increase.
At the meeting tonight there will
also be adopted an ordinance rails
ing the license for circuses. The
minimum is to be $40 and the
maximum $3.50.
Ordinance to proceed with the
paving of Mary, Elm and George
streets will be adopted, together
with ordinances TO proceed with

PUzzLING
SITUATION
Comfronts Probate Judge
Foster.
THREE INSANE PATIENTS
That Cannot be Received at
State Hospital.
All Three Of Them are Violent and
Just What will be Done with
Them is Undetermined.

Probate Judge Foster is at present
Icontendlng with a puzzling problem
concerning ths handling of insanity
cases. With three cases now on hand,
he is faced with the information that
Marion county has 20 more than the
quota of patients when 1t is allowed
in the state hospital. Letters from
the superinten lent of the institution
state that aged and inhrm patients
and patients from county intirmaries
positively cannot be received.
The three patients, which the pro-
bate judge now has on hands are Ez-
ra Hall, a horse trainer, aged 6l;
Harry Taylor, Of Dayids srteet, aged
10, and Joe Scner, an Italian, who
is now at the infiramary.
Sener and Taylor, it is thought,
have not lived in America long
enough to have established residence
here, and for tina. reason are not
entitled to admittance to the state
hospital.
Hall was brought here from Can
tone several days ago by his son-in-
law, Earnest Craven, with whom he
is living at the corner of Darius and
Henry street. He became Insane
while attending the grand circuit races
at Cleveland last week Judge Foster
Is of the opinion that Hall should be
cared for by the Stark county Off
cials.
The case of Taylor is unusual in
many ways He came here from Eng
land only few months ago and 1t
is thought that seasickness drove him
insane.
All three of the patients are vio-
lent. Taylor was taken in charge by
Captain of Police Bond Sunday after
noon. Hall aud Sener both require
guards.

It seems that he was invalided home
from the Crimea and granted a
months furlough. While enjoying his
rest he was stricken with typhoid
fever, but, being unable to read or
write, did not acquaint the officers of
his regiment with his misfortune or
ask friend to do so. The coGse'
quence was that when his furlough
expired he was posted as a deserter
and while on his way to rejoin was
arrested.
At Aldershot he was tried by court
martial and sentenced to be branded
