TO GIRDLE THE EARTH
AROUND-THE-WOR WALKER
VISITS DISTRICT BUILDING.

Possibly the most distinguished visitor
received at the District building today was
Prof H. ]. NJ. Nikoloff of Vidin, Bulgaria
who is engaged in the pleasant pastime Of
walking around the world-not on a
wager. as is usually the case. but simply
to study nature. The object Of his visit
to the city fathers was, first, to pay his
respects, and secondly. to obtain ahe seal
of the township as he expressed 1t,
and the signature of some official to show
that he had visited here in reality and
not in Imagination.
The professor has been engaged In his
long distance study of nature since 1900,
and he expects to conclude his tramp In
1915. He is q man of medium height and
picturesque appearance with a distin-
gushing beard. He speaks only a few
words of English. and to make the object
of his errand plain he freely distributed
a post card on one side of which is half
tone photograp PHI of himself and on the
other the following inscription:
The only object Of my journey is to
study nature and the ways and customs
of the inhabitants of the countries
through which pass. l have undertaken
this journey. counting only on the assist
ance of the public This card with my
portrait will serve as mementO of my
visit to your country"

AFTER THE GROWLERS'
HILLSDALE CITIZENS WANT
PROHIBITIVE LEGISLATION.

Legislation prohibiting the ''growler"
practice and amusements and enter
tainments on the Sabbath and
making it an offense for persons
to loiter in saloons is recommended
to the Commissioners by the HIlsdale
Citizens Association. In a communica-
ton signed by r. L. Wilkinson. secre-
tary of the association. these things are
urged, for 1.-The moral and physical good
OF the community"
According to the letter to the Commits
sioners the members of the Hillsdale
association do not believe in prohibition
but they do believe that rushing of
GROWERS" should be stopped. If legislation
is obtained prohibiting this practice. the
members say that thusands of homes in
this city would be saved from drunken
ness and that the children would be pro-
tected from the demoralizing effects OF
such a practice.
AT the present time Secretary Will
kinson writes for mis- associates, many
home are made the rendezvous of a class
of people who spend every nickel they can
raise. from morning until night, buying
bucket after bucket of beer, compelling
their children to grow up under the vilest
influence, besides offering the opportunity
to them to become confirmed drunkards.'
The reason why the members of the
Hillsdale Association want lettering in
saloons prohibited and made an offense
is because it would have a tendency to
reduce the treating habit and thus de-
crease Over-indulgence.
These moral improvements for the city
were decided upon at a recent meeting of
the Hillsdale Association. and in his let
ter to the Commissioners Secretary Will
kinson requested that the recommends
tons mentioned be given careful consid-
GRAFTON between now and the time the
Commissioners commence preparing new

CAPT. SCHNEIDER WOUNDED.
Bullet Rebounds and Hits Him
Near the Eye.

Henry Schneider, captain of the seventh
police precinct. narrowly escaped death
this morning while trying the revolver Of
one Of the members of his command.
Policemen have found more use for
their weapons during the past month than
for long while because of the frequent
calls made on them to kill dogs and other
animals. Orders were recently given for
them to see that their revolvers were in
good order. =
This morning Capt. Schneider was test
ing one of the revolvers. discharging the
weapon at board in the cellar at the
station. when bullet rebounded and
struck him under his eye. Had II struck
his eye possibly a fatal injury would have
been inflicted. AS 1t was. the captain

Negro Who Tried to Take Her In
Charge Goes Free.

Harrison Conway. colored, living in An,

ball Of the Police Court this morning on
the technical charge of assaulting Pearl

The girl resisted. During the fracas Po-
liceman Stewart of the Anacostia sub
station put in an appearance. He freed

report of a sensational nature which came
to the detective bureau yesterday after
noon was the result of the girls COM
plant to the authorities later nj the day.
The girl said she was in the vicinity
looking for a farm hand for her father,
which was aftcrward verified.

DAMAGE SUITS ARE SIMILAR.
Howard Carter and Albert Williams
Want $4,000 Each.

Two suits at law We're entered against
the Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
road Company today by Attorneys Wolf
& Rosenberg, representing Howard Car
ter and Albert Williams.
Each plaintiff claims 5000 damages.
Their suits are based upon almost identi-
cal grounds.
The statement of Carter's case indicates
that he was driving along B street south
west January 5. 1908, when his wagon
was struck by car of the defendant
company; that he was thrown out and in
jured. and that the conductor assaulted
him when lie refused to sign a paper re-
leasing the company from liability.
1t is alleged Williams was the victim IN
a similar accident on B street. as result
of which he was incapacitated and caused
a considerable loss of business.

Savings Bank Investments at Home
From the Bristol Herald


C. S. Page, the calfskin man and
banker, of Hyde Park, is firm believer
in advertising.
And the results obtained are such as
to cause him to feel that his policy is the
correct one. Mr.. Page has built up at
Hyde Park business in calfskins that is
second to none in the world and annually
has to increase the size of his plant to
meet the demands of the business.
This speaks well for MIR. Page, who has
made Hyde Park famous as the calfskin
center of the world
Mr.. Page has also found time to help
start a savings bank in his town, con-
Quoted on Page ideas, and it is to-day one
of the Leading banking institutions OF
Vermont and has done much to help Yer
mont industries.
The banks investments are right here
at home where the bank officials can ex-
anime them personally. This is safe
guard that is appreciated by depositors.
1t is needless for us to state that the
public has faith in Page, his conservatism
and careful business methods.
The Hyde Park savings bank has
gained nearly quarter of a million dol
lars in deposits in the past six months,
due in a great measure to judicious adyer-
Using.
Other savings institutions would bene-
fit greatly if they adopted such a course.
II you have good thing, advertise it.
That is what c. s. Page has done and the
results prove that it pays.
