THE LORD MAYOR.
He Was a Nest Formidable Personags
In Days Gone BY.


In Days Gone BY.
At a great entertainment given
in the fifteenth century by the SER
geants-at-law at Ely place, Holborn,
the lord treasurer, Baron Ruthven,
refused to recognize that as the
sovereign's immediate representa-
tive the lord mayor was bound to
take precedence Of every other SUBJ
ject within the limits of the city.
The bold, bad baron sat stolidly
therefore at table in s'the most hon.
orable place." whereupon the lord
mayor instantly withdrew, followed
by his faithful aldermen and sher-
ifs and all the other citizens.
The person of the lord mayor
was once held to be sacred and in
violable, and none dare approach
his presence in an impudent man
ner. Men have been hanged for
forcible resistance to his authority,
and it is on record that one Richard
Byfield in the year 1879 was fined
ESQ for presuming to kneel too
close to his lordship at st. Erken-
wald's shrine. Most awe inspiring
still, the lord mayor once command
ed the services of merry andrew
and poet laureate.
Ben Jonson himself was a lord
mayors laureate, and even his SUI
preme talent was not thought equal
to the high duty of singing the
praises of the common council. Ben
must have performed his duties not
too graciously, for we know that he
wrote a letter complaining of the
corporation withdrawing him from
their "chandlery pension for YER
juice and mustard" Upon which
letter champion of the city made
the comment that the pension was
mot so chandlery, for it amounted
to 933 Gs. 3d., a sum which may at
least stand comparison with what
has been at any time allowed other
aureates Of higher degree" 1t was
much more than was allowed even
to the kings laureate in Ben JON
sons days, for until 1880 the pen
sion was but 100 marks.-without q

Origin OF the Halo. eh
In the public places in Athens one or
two thousand years ago the Greeks set
up the statues of their gods and god

bility Of the rain staining the marble
faces Of their masterpieces they used
to protect each with large metal
plate at the top of the head. These
were mistaken by the preraphaelite
painters for emblems of divinity. Ac-
cordingly to this day we see around
the pictured heads of our Christian
saints the curious little ring which is

HUMMEL NEAR DEATH,
HIS PHYSICIAN SAYS.
Doctors Constantly Watch Famous Law
yer-prisoner Whose Heart Is
Giving Way.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-After another
violent attack, which brought physi-
clans in consultation to the bedside OF
Abraham Hummel, the one-time ia
NOUS lawyer confined at Blackwells
Island Penitentiary for subornation
of perjury, it was reported today that
the prisoner is likely to die at any mo-
ment.
DIR. Sigmund Tynberg, of 1929 Madi-
son avenue, declared that Hummels
condition is extremely ~precarious, and
that his system is completely pois-
oned by a kidney affection. The pa
TENTS heart has shown alarming synp-
toms. DR.. Tynbers was summoned to
consult with DR.. Matzs,r~the priaoa
house PHYSICIAN VI
although HWnEels condition is
generally similar to what it was yes
terday," says DR.. Tynberg, "he is
weaker, and an attack which came at
8 o'clock yesterday left him feeble and
broken. 1t is hard to say how long
he will survive. In such a condition he
may die at any time. There has been
no recurrence of the delirium."
He requires constant attention, and
DR.. Matz will guard him throughout
Ithe day. Changes are likely to occur
at any hour, and the feverish condi-
ton and weakness of his heart are
such that some one must remain con-
stantly at his bedside.

The capital stock Of the United Elevated

change.
Executive officers of several OF the large

if any, action Is advisable or possible 10
prevent loss us a result of the provision or
the Hepburn law, requiring every raiiroaa
company in the United States to dispose OF
its coal properties by May |, 1908. MANY
railroad attorneys say that the law Is nh-
constitutional. but tho fact remains tha'
there is no provision In the law IN wnlch
the cons%titutionality can be tested wlthont
incurring the risk Of penalties in the period

Gompcrs Says Forced Arbitration 1:
Contrary TO Workingman's
Independence.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1S.-"Prevention or
Strikes and Lockouts,'' through various
forms of Cancellation apd arbitration, was
described by speakers IN the second and
final days meeting of the eighth annual
National ClviclFederation Conference, at
the Park Avenue Hotel assembly rooms,
yesterday. Compulsory Arbitration and
Cancellation was thoroughly discussed.
The workings of the Canadian law on
compulsory arbitration were explained by
John Landers. president OF the National
Garment Workers Association, and Hugh
p Jusk, formerly a member of Parlia-
ment from New Zealand, told of its sue
cess in that country during the twelve
years since its adoption.
Mr.. Lusk stated that an era of peace,
comfort and prosperity had prevailed dur
ing these years, but he admitted that re-
Gently the law had not worked with its
accustomed success, and also said he be-
lieved that 1t could not be adopted in this
country either by the State, individuals
or the nation.
Both speakers we're questioned by Sam
uel Gompers, who subsequently spoke
against the policy as contrary to the in
dependence of the w~orkingman and as a
violation of property rights.
Isaac N. Seligman presided at the open
ing session, and introduced Ralph M.
Easley, who read a paper from Mrs. Sarah
Plat Decker, of Denver, president of the
National Federation of WomeD's Clubs,
npon the currency question. She scored
the bank presidents who had declared that
women were in large part responsible for
the recent panic.
Chairman White, Of a committee to
which was referred a resolution on cur
rency reform. introduced by Banker selig-
man at Mondays session, started to read
the resolution.
Somebody went into a committee room
and told Mr.. Gompers what was going on.
He passed quickly into the audience
room, and as he listened he bristled up
and began to say mo, no." As Mr..
White finished reading the labor repre-
sentative stepped rapidly to the side OF
the platform and, shaking his finger at
Mr.. White and others, he exclaimed:
mo, no; ] did not consent to that reso-
luton +"
II thought you did, said Mr.. White.
Il did not; most certainly not" said
Mr.. Gompsrs.
The Rev. Thomas Slicer moved that the
resolution be tabled for later considera-
ton. This was passed and Mr.. Gompers
went to the committee room again, re-
peating: 81 most certainly did not agree
to it,
Later be said he objected to such a reso-
luton because he did not think it was
within tho province Of the federation to
take action that would commit it 10 any
way on the currency question.

in Pollock Rip slue by the tug Lehigh
at $3.50 o'clock last night. Her crew Of
six men, who narrowly escaped being
carried down with their vessel, reached
the tug and were brought here today.
The collision took place a short dis
lance north of the lightship and in a
clear moonlight night. The sailing ves-
sci was going through the slue with all
sails set, in a moderate northwest wind.
The Lehigh was bound from Boston for
Perth Amboy with three light barges,
and. according to her captain, .lppar-
emily had cleared the schooner when
the latter luffed and the collision fol-
lowed.

'~F[Y7PERILS HEALTH
WORSE THAN MOSQUITO.
NEW YORK MAN SAYS.
MEMBER of Merchsnts' Association De-
clares Insect Carries Disease from
sewers-Protests Pollution.


NEW YORK Zee. 1S-Edward Hatch,
ir. of the Merchants Association commit
tee ON pollution Of the waters of New
YORK. and of Lord & Taylor. has again
written to Governor Hughes complaining
of the continued violations of the health
law. emphasizing the fact that nothing
has been done to remedy increasing I'M
sanitary conditions and calling attention
to the further fact that the fine against
the city OF New York as a penalty for
violating chapter lS of the public health
laws of the State, amounting on septem-
Der 1 to $44. 1S6.735, has now increased to
S47. sS7, S35. or at the rate of $1,000 daily.
In his letter Mr.. Hatch says that the
popular belief that the waters of rivers
and harIlors are purified by the ebb and
flow Of the tide is a fallacy and he backs
up his statement on the authority OF
the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission.
Mr.. Hatch further declares, on the
strength of the report of DR.. Daniel d.
Jackson. of the committee, that the pol
luted condition of the rivers and harbor
is the cause of most intestinal diseases IN
New York, through the agency of the
common house fly, which disseninates dis
ease breeding germs which the sewer
about the docks and shores discharge.
The Governors attention is further d.
rected to he contamination of foodstuff,
such as nSn, meat, NeSeIapleS anu ttuit,
which are all being subject to this new
peril.
Recreation piers. ferry boats and the
string pieces along the river, used by
mothers to give their infants a breathing
spell In the simmer days, are all subject
to the danger of flies that feed on the
refuse of the sewers. 1t is a common
sight to see flies crawling on the mouth
and nostrils of a child asleep on its
mothers lap. trailing poisonous material
from the nearby sewer.
Much is said about the scattering OF dis
ease germs by mosquitoes, but they are not
to be compared with flies as disseminators
of disease. Deaths from malaria 1.-THE mos
quito's speciality reported for 1905 In New

Public lighthouses, where one can enjoy
a N"sewer BATH and absorb the infection
and breathe the poisonous gases, Is an

caught are impregnated with the odor OF
the sewer. oysters and clans are likewise
tainted and unhealthy.
