near Peekskill, which far from being abandoned has suddenly developed into what is probably the most valuable farm in the State. if not in the coun- try. The city needing ten acres of this remarkable farm is somewhat taken back to find that the land is valued at the modest price of S54,500 an acre. The dwnef is evidently an agricultural Hartman, for when he bought the farm in 1903 he did not pay any such price for it by considerable amount But as soon as the owner became aware of the fact that the city need ed ten acres of the land for the great acqueduct being constructed for the new water supply, the land began to accumulate surprising values. The owner suddenly discovered that he was the lucky possessor of a quarry, hunt ing grounds, health resort and that what he had formerly taken to be a mud hole was in reality a miraculous spring, features which made the land worth about a dollar and a quarter a square foot, or rather the most val uable farm in the State. City officials, however, incline to a different view, Special Councel Dyckman characteriz- ing the demand for $54,500 an acre for the land which the city needs as the most barefaced attempt since 1878 to hold 1t up. The whole thing would be farcical were it not for the fact that high officials have learned beyond a doubt that there is a movement on foot which practically amounts to a con- spiracy among certain lawyers to hold up the city in its efforts to secure the right of way for the new acqueduct.
 According to Thomas Sharkey, for merly of pugilistic fame, anyone who would have the nerve to rob him would steal the Brooklyn Bridge. New ertheles he has just been robbed, not of mere money for which he cares not but of possessions far dearer to his esthetic nature-nothing less indeed that two ''old masters" Since his re- tirement from the white light which beats upon q heavy weight champion, MT. Sharkey spends his time at his cafe in New York and his home at Sheeps- head Bay. He has gone in for art too, and was much disappointed last year when in France to have his offer of $150 for the Venus de Milo refused. MT. Sharkey's artistic temperament immediately recognized the worth of that work of art and he would have been glad to have 1t in his cafe. On top of this blow to his sensitive and art loving nature comes the robbery just committed. Two pictures were stolen from the dining room of his house which MT. Sharkey says were genuine old masters. One was a pie ture of the race horse. Domino, and MT. Sharkey doesn't remember what the other was because he has So many pictures. He even has pictures on his ceiling--hand painted ones at that. It is not the money loss that the former prize fighter minds, although the two nictures were satd to be worth over eleven dollars What causes him to weep Is the fact that anyone should dare rob him. He has a clue, however, and says that if he catches the thief he will make a parable out of him"

which are merely ''spot" eggs. Neither of course are good but in the latter class are to be found all those eggs which have not reached the limit of badness. This class includes eggs which, having been several days in in- cubators without giving positive test for matching, are shipped to New York to be eaten. Many of these spot eggs are sold for manufacturing purposes, going into confections. cake and the lige. In fact these tainted articles of consumption have achieved such a sta pie place in New Forks commerce that Judge recently accepted $500 dozen of them as sdrety for the appearane Of a defendant The Health Depart ment, however. is now Irttin2 extra inspectors on the Job of driving them out or the market, and as it takes no Sherlock Holmes to detect them, 1t is believed that tainted" eggs as ar ar- ticle or food are doomed in New York.
 Justice dispensed at all hours of the day and night" is the ign which Father knickerbocker can now hang out for the first time in his history and 1t IS believed for the first time in the history of the country. The inau- guration of a night police court this week means that crooks can be hailed oerore the bar of justice at any hour of the twenty-four instead of having to wait over night for the regular day sessions as formerly. The fact that the city has found it necessary to keep court for twenty-four hours a day for the sentencing of criminals should rot be taken to indicate, however. that 1t has so many of these undesirable cits tzens as to be unable to handle them by day. While 1t is true that there is no failure in the crook crop, the bill to establish night police courts here Is the first step to do away with the graft of professional bail givers who have formerly made an easy. if dis honorable, living by holding up those persons, particularly women. who were arrested so late in the day as to make 1t necessary to postpone their trial until the following day. Under these conditions are arrested one must either spend the night in jail or give. bail. the latter of which few of them were able to do.i In consequence there has sprung up class of professional bail givers who furnish the nominal amount asked-and fe is not often over $10--and then proceed to soak the unfortunate victim for an equal sum as & fee. With the establishing of the new court, however, arrests made at night will be handled promptly and 1t is believed the professional bail giver, a blot on the courts of justice of New York, will be driven out of business. The fact that during the first seven nights of this month the average number of r. rests has been 47s shows the amount of work which the new court will have to handle

New York. Aug. 1o.---Degraded in regulation military style, his straps and shield torn from his uniform, a member of New Yorls police force was dismissed this week in disgrace on a charge of cowardice in the face of duty.
 Hooted by his former comrades, he left the station house after the first occurrence of the kind in three de- cades, which will go down in the city's history as a most remarkable event. For whatever may be said of the menl- bers of "the 1nest' in regard to graft, pull and other undesirable clements of municipal service, the fact remains that the record of the force for bravery and heroism is a long and honorable one, of which the city police is justly proud. Not in this generation has New York known a dismissal for cowardice, it being more than thirty years since a charge has been made against po- lfceman. Since the establishment of the old Metropolitan police force more than half century ago this b1ackest of all charges has been made but twice. There have been crooks in the department. dishonest men neglectful of their duty, but one and all. with two exceptions in fifty years, they have possessed the saving grace of bravery From the day in June 1857, when Po- liceman Eugene Anderson was killed in attempting to make an arrest. the list of these city protectors who have met their death in the discharge of their duty and in the face of recognized danger has grown week by week until it now contains hundreds of names. If to this roll of honor be added that of the Fire Department, the number runs into the thousaIads. 7The average New York city cop only grins when the force is accused of graft, but he is Jealous of its reputation for bravery, as was instanced by the hoots which marked the official eyit of the officer just dismissed. Not for nothing in this respect at least has the force been called "the finest"
 People in New York who prefer bad GEES will have some trouble in pro- curing them after this. The city hav- ing taken up with more or less suc- cessful results bad street car service. bad insurance, bad officials and in fact anything that enough people com plained of, will now turn its atten- tion to the product of the gentle hen. That anyone should really prefer an- 4fQue or ''spot" eggs seems incredible, but it is nevertheless true that there are a good many thousands of citizens fin the greater city who buy them and who are under no illusion as to kuS QuSSlAoH OA tMS4h AkcSAuSSS. HIS is in no sense due to q veneration for age such as is found among the Chi- nese, but partly to the fact that "an- cient" eggs are cheaper and partly be- cause they are more highly favored. So large has the business grown of dealing in eggs that more than 2,0a0 dozen bad eggs are daily disposed of here for human consumption. The business has it's own terms there be- ing a distinct difference between gs which are classed as rotten. and those

Contrsctors and Builders Are Kept Busy--Many New Residences--An Exciting Runaway i'm Busi-
 ness District

Mobile. Aug. l0-(Sp 4cial. )--The sev- en story brick. steel frame warehouse on Commerce Street now being built by Jett Brothers for Robert Hunter. is al- most completed except for the flooring. It now towers high above the sur rounding structures.
 The building has gone up in re- markably short time, 120 days being the contract time for it's completion. The seven story steel frame work went up in about two weeks. and the brick work has also been put up in record time.
 The building will be occupied by September l. and its appearance when completed will add greatly to the wholesale district.
 The big warehouse, which the South ern Supply Company is having put up on St. Louis and Water Streets, is now in the fifth story stage, and the sixth and last story will be begun soon. The structure when finished will probably contain more storage space than any other warehouse in the city, being 1S0 by 165 feet and six stories high.
 The residence building boom contin- ues unabated and in every part of the city new dwelling houses are being put up as rapidly as contractors can se- cure workmen. As fast as the houses are built, tenants are on hand to occu- py them and often there are twenty or thirty applicants for one house.
 In the southwestern part of town nu merous houses are in process of erect ion. and that portion of the city's sub urbs is developing especially fast. Out on Government Street, near Ann Street. two splendid residences are nearing completion. and on Ann Street five dwellings are going up south of Spring Hill Avenue.
 Out on Dauphin Street every block or so shows skeletons of future houses on former vacant lots.
 Real estate men say they have abso= lutely no good houses vacant for any length of time, and carpenters. masons. plumbers and electrical workmen arc all busy.

Mobile County Veteran Claims He Left

 cause of Poor Food and HI Treatment.
 Mobile, Aug. 1e-(pecial. )--Peter Rabby, of Bayou LaBatre, who was in Mobile today makes some startling charges against the management of the Home For Confederate Soldiers ct Mountain Creek, near Montgomery.
 MT. Rabby was for some time an in- mate of the Home. and says he left there on account of the poor food and management. There are about 156 old soldiers cared for, or uncared for, at the Home. according to MT .Rabby, and about 15o negroes ostensfbly employed around the premises. He says they seem to be hanging around mainly for something to eat The Veterans. fared on corn bread made of musty corn in general was very poor.
 Tn arrangement, he states, is either incompetent or very careless. and the old soldiers have to get on as best they can.
 Mir. Rabby was very much irritated at his treatment at Mountain Creek, having left there on account of 1t. He went down to Bayou LaBatre this af- ternoon.
 (An unsuccessful effort was made last night to reach commandant Simp- son of the Soldiers Home. The Ad- vertiser is satisfied there Is some mis- take about the serious charges against the management of the institution.)

DECISION BY HUNDLEY.
Opinion in Case Against Company al
 CulIman.

Huntsville. August 1e.-(special)- Judge Oscar R. Hundley of the United States court has handed down an opin- ion in the case of the Sprague Can ming Machinery Company of Chica- go. vs. the Cullman Fruit and Pro- duce Association.
 The decision is rendered on the pe- tition of the Sprague Company to re- quire the receiver in bankruptcy to turn over to petitioner certain ma chinery found in the possession of the bankrupt, the petitioner claiming that 1t was their property and had never been paid for.
 The evidence showed that the prop erty had not been paid for but Judge Hundley holds in his opinion that the sale and delivery of the property of the Cullman company, without speci- fic reservation of the title by the Sprague company, passed the title to the Cullman company, and. although the property had never been paid for, is could not now be recovered from the receiver but must be considered as & part of the assets of the bankrupt.

 old Nature often makes fools of the croakers. The early spring gave rise was entirely ruined and corn wouldn't be over a half crop. Since the cold spell the most ideal weather has pre- vailed; if frost does not come early there will be a big cotton crop and the corn crop is about made. No such corn crop has ever been raised in Alabama before .s
