they had reached a bend in the road
about 100 yards from the house when
terrifying apparition confronted and
approached them.
It was a tall, gaunt figure clad In
white from head to heel. 1t held sus-
pended from its right hand misshapen
mass, which despite its form was plain
" animate, struggling. Shrieking,
Mrs. Kaufman, Miss Rosa and Miss
Ethel darted past the ghostly form and
ran to the boarding house. Mrs. Gold
schmidt and Mrs. Harris swooned.
Arrived at the house, the three pant
ing women told a hysterical, broken
story that sent Konnor, his two sons
and all his men boarders on the run
down the road. They found Mrs. Cold
schmidt and Mrs. Harris not in the
road where they had fallen, but on a
sloping bank at the roadside. And up
the road came something, somebody,
fearsome, 80 spectral that the men felt
goosehesh rise and chills run down
their spines. Mr.. Goldschmidt, who
had armed himself at the first alarm,
aimed his revolver at the apparition,
but before he could pull the trigger
Konnor yelled:
Don't shoot! It's Peter Cash!'
So it was Peter Cash, clad only in a
nightgown and carrying by the tail a
seventy pound swapping turtle, which
fought to free itself. This had hap

THINKS WILD WEST SHOW
LED SON TO RUN AWAY.
Anxious Mother Sits Up All Night Wait
ing for Him-Boy Collects Assets
Before Flight.

Mrs. Bessie Leshin, 1913 Ferry street,
this morning asked the police of the
Third Precinct station to institute a
search for her 1~4-year-old son, Eman-
uel, who left his home some line last
evening. The circumstances surround
ing her sons disappearance, Mrs. Leshin
said, were SUCH as to lead her to be-
lieve that the boy ran ava from home
to join a travelling show and see the
world.
Seen at the little dry and fancy goods
store at the address given, Mr.. Leshin
told an EVENING STAR reporter that
she did not miss her son until late last
night, and that she sat up all night
hoping he would return. Early this
morning she said she looked through
his effects and found that he had taken
some clothing and a bank book, show
ing deposits amounting to ST. in the
Howard Savings Institution.
When she made inquiries, the anxious
mother said she learned that her son
had told his friends hat he was going
away with a Wild West show that has
been exhibiting at Hillside Park, and
she fears this to be true, as the boy
during the last few weeks. Mrs. Leshin
said that her husband is living some
where in New York and that Emanuel
frequently visits him, but she did not
think he had gone to his father.
When he left home Emanuel was
dressed in dark clothes, knickerbockers
and wore a light cap. He is small for
his age and has dark hair and eyes n
an olive complexion.

TEACHERS DUTIES
DO NOT END WITH MENTAL
TRAINING, SAYS MAXWELL.
superintendent of New York Schools
Says Tutors Should look Out for
Physical Welfare.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE physical
welfare of New York's school children
is engaging the earnest attention of the
educational authorities. Superintendent
Maxwell, at a special meeting of all the
school principals of the city, impressed
upon them this feature for the care of
the little ones. He declared 1t was the
duty of the principals and the teachers
under them to make prsonal investiga-
ton of the physical condition of the
children n to urge upon their parents
the necessity for medical attention
where physical defects in children were
discovered.
Special attention, he said, should be
given to foul classes of pupils: To over
aged children, to determine whether
their intellectual development has been
retarded by physical defects; to chill
dren who are evidently suffering from
physical defects; to incorrigible chill
dren, who have a tendency toward idle
ness and miscnievousness, and, finally,
to the persistent truant.
In connection with the movement to
improve the health conditions in the
classroom, the report of Lyman A. Best,
president of the Brooklyn Teachers As
ISOLATION, is interesting. In his annual
report to the association-he gives the
opinion that the feather duster is a
spreader of disease germs and is re-
| sponsible, in a great measure. for the
physical condition of school children.
He says that statistics show that the
ordinary contagious diseases of child
hood, such as measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria and Group, show an abrupt
rise in the number of cases in the fall,
after the school windows are closed,
while just as abrupt a drop occurs in
the spring, when the windows are open.
The cause he attributes 10 school-room

schools and prohibit their further use"
is one remedy suggested by Mr.. Best.
Before any sweeping is done wet saw
dust should be scattered over the floor,
says Mr.. Best. busting should be done
with dampened cloths. Every school
house to be erected in the future should
be completely provided with a vacuum

ANCIENT CIVILIZATION
IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Professor Saville Discovers Evidences
of a High Stage of Development
Five Hundred Years Ago.

NEW YORK, Sept. I'm. H. Saville,
professor of e~thnology at Columbia
University, who has returned from a
trip to Ecuador, said he had discovered
the ruins of cities near the coast which
contained many evidences of a race
hitherto unknown to ~present-day
scientists.
The professors researches extended
along the Pacific about fifty
miles to the north and about the same
distarce to the south of the equator.
Somewhere between those points and
to a distance about 100 miles inland
he found evidences of a city of an
tiquity.
The city, he said, had streets lined
with houses of skillful construction.
Though the dwellings had been made
of light material a sort of palmetto
or thatch, they had been constructed
evidently with a view of withstanding
the shocks of the frequent earthquakes
OF the region, and were intact.
In the houses were found utensils
for cooking and other domestic pur-
poses made of pottery, wood and the
like. Professor Saville said he be-
lieved the city had contained 5000 or
more people 500 years ago.. T
In his opinion the race was one OF
the highest in civilization living in
America previous to the coming OF
Europeans.

Burt is a brakeman employed by the
Lackawanna Railroad. and up to five
months ago he, with his wife and two
children, lived in New York. Because,
she alleged, of his cruelty and failure
to support her, she left him and came

the woman, and she appeared before
him yesterday morning.

live, and our home was an old barn
without a window. We managed to
stick in tina howell throughout the
winter, and when warm weather came
all we had to eat Tor three days was
soup green's and grass"
Mrs. Burt was very bitter in her de-
n~unciation of her husband for the
treatment she charges him with and
stated that all the love she bore for
him had fled and that she intended to
make a living for herself and children
by going out to work.
Hardly had Mrs. Burt left Seymour's
Office when the husband made his APP
pearance. When told what his wife
had said, Burt said that he had been
unfortunate and that he always tried
to do everything in order to please his
wife.
