fact that the city owns the streets and
should see to it that all signs are re-

ATHENA'S SALE DAY
Two Auctioneers EMPLOYED and Nearly
$1,000 Worth of Property Changed
Ownership at Fair Prices.

Athena's first Market day goes on
record as being success.
The days sales aggregated about
$4,000, and the property disposed OF
went at fair prices. Two auctioneers,
g. W. Bradley and F. g. Lucas were
employed. A large crowd was present
and at times the bidding was spirited.
The sale started at $3.50 p. m.
Household goods, farm implements,
vehicles. etc.. were first auctioned off,
the stock sales bein g made later.
A peculiar feature of the sale was
that the best stock was left unsold, the
bidders apparently desiring the cheap
or grades of animals put up for dispos.
al. For this reason horses worth from
$3.50 to $175 only brought forth bids
from $l25 to $14O and they were bid
in by their owners. The thoroughbred
short horn cattle put up by Dean Ger
king. were hardly noticed, thus show
ing that this class of stock is not what
is wanted by sales day bargain hunters.
1t is estimated that $500 worth of
stock was bid in by owners during the
day.
A large number of farmers and peo-
plefrom near by towns were in the city
and before and during the sale, the
merchants did good business.
The men who had the sale in charge
worked hard for its success and the
experience they derived from this, the
first ono. will materially assist them
in making arrangements for and con-
Quoting Athena's next Market day.
The expense of the sale was about $50.

 Four Are Injured.

New York, April PA sixty horse power racing automobile, carrying four passengers and running at express train speed over the Briarcliff trophy course, crashed through the railing of a small bridge over a branch of the Saw mill river and plunged ten feet below into the stream. The car turned com plete somersault, throwing out all the occupants. This probably prevented a tragedy. as none of the men was caught beneath the heavy machine in way to sustain serious injury.
 James B. Ryall, who was spoken of as the possible driver. starter in the Briarcliff race on Friday, was at the wheel, and C. D. Weed was in the mechanician's seat beside him. Robert Murray and Charles Robertson. a brother of George Robertson. who is also to drive in Fridays race, occupied the rear seat
 Ryall suffered compound fracture of the left ankle. Weed landed in deep water and was almost drowned before rescued by Robertson. His forehead was badly cut and his shoulder injured Murray's foot was caught in the car and painfully injured. and Robertson suffered from shock. All of the men were severely shaken and chilled by the cold water.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.

Does your back ache? Do you get up lame in the morning? Do you feel dull and tirnd? Does it hurt you to bend over. to lift anything, to get up from a chair? Do you have sud deL "catches" or stitches of pain in the back? Does a dull, throbbing ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night? Do you sometimes feel that you simply cannot straighten up?
 If you do have backache, be care full not to make the very common mistake of treating it as a muscular trouble. Do not rub the sore place with liniment, nor put or plasters, for the seat of the trouble is inside In the kidneys, which lie just be- aeath the small of the back, on either hde of the spine.

BILL HITS P0OLROOMs.
Could Put Them Out of Business, De-
 cisres New York Senator.

csres New York Senator.
 Albany, N. r., April 22.-The senate by vote of 30 to 15 passed the Page bill extending the jurisdiction of the public service commissions over tele- graph and telephone companies, ferries and stage lines The bill goes now to the assembly for concurrence.
 Senator Page declared that the pub lie service commission could under the provision of his bill put the poolrooms out of business. He said in part:
 With the control over the telegraph and telephone business delegated to them by this bill, the public service commission would be enabled to pre- graph service in the poolroom busi- ness. Without such service poolrooms would be unable to exist.
 ''The reason telegraph and telephone companies can and do serve the pool rooms under cover by device is that the secret contracts and memoranda and the information within their pos session are not subject to the super vision of any public officials. By this bill the companies are required to file with the commission schedules show ing the rates and charges for all classes of service in the form to be prescribed by the commission, and copies of every contract, agreement and arrangement relating to the main tenance or use of d telegraph or tele- phone line or a service by or over such lines"

Manchester, April 22-The furious election fight that is being waged here has brought forth two weghty pledges from the Liberal ministers.

When if is remembered that NIT. yd-George. now chancellor of the exchequer. is in the position of having to find the money for the pen sions. his prediction is of the greatest interest.

BRIDE KEPT PRISONER.
Wealthy Girl Elopes and Is Lock-
 ed Up In SchooIroom.
TO FACE IRATE GRANDFATHER
He Is Summoned From Montreal to New York by Dean of Young Wom- ans School After She Runs Away With Student.

New York. April 22.-Florence Vim Farwell, nineteen-year-old daughter of wealthy banker of Sherbrooke, Can ada, is held a prisoner at a fashionable private school just off Fifth avenue. following her elopement and marriage to Roy Hosmer McGibbon, a medical student at Montreal. The head of the school when he learned through the newspapers that marriage license had been obtained and got from the young woman confession that she had been married immediately called up her grandfather on the long distance telephone. Miss Farwell's parents are travelling in Egypt.
 Hold her until 1 come to New York" were the instructions from Will liam Farwell, the grandfather, who operates one of the largest banking businesses in Canada. By no means allow her to see any one and especially McGibbon. I shall take the first train 10 New York"
 Last Friday the brides grandparents came down from Canada and took her with them to Atlantic City for Easter Sunday McGibbon, who had come from Montreal to press his suit, fol- lowed. They were together in the boardwalk parade. and it was then they arranged the marriage.
 Meets Bridegroom In Store.
 Miss Farwell asked permission to go shopping. and chaperon was assigned her. In Sixth avenue store the girl met McGibbon and his brother Philip. There was a hurried trip to city hall, where a marriage license was obtain ed. Then the three went to the Marble Collegiate church. and the couple were married by the Rev. D. J. Burrell.
 It was the intention of Mir. and Mrs. McGibbon to keep their marriage a se- cret until both had graduated. They therefore separated at the church doors. the bride going back to the school and the bridegroom returning to the Manhattan hotel. The dean of the school was mortified to learn of the marriage.
 Please don't tell grandfather" the bride said to him tearfully, because we want to keep it secret"
 The dean proceeded forthwith to get Grandfather Farwel on the long dis tance telephone. Farwell demanded that his granddaughter be brought to the phone. Reluctantly she confirmed what the dean had told him.
 Mrs. McGibbon will be kept a prison CT until her grandfather arrives. Me Gibbon when seen at the Manhattan hotel refused to talk.

OUR SHIPS ALL RIGHT.
So Declares Sir William White, For
 merIy Designer of British Navy.

 Boston. April 22.-In lengthy inter- view published here Sir William Henry White, who was for nearly twenty years, up to 1902. the responsible de- signer of all British warships, com ments on recent criticisms of the Amer criticisms are unfounded on fact and supplementing this declaration by long and technical explanation Sir Will. liam says:
 There is one thing more that would like to say. and think it is vital. I have known the American navy from the start. It is not generally known that the modern American navy started with the purchase of two of my designs from Armsirong's. That Charleston and the Baltimore were built.
 The first thing want to say is you have naval architects as capable as any. in my judgment in the world. be- cause they have been properly trained, and besides they are picked men.
 ''The second thing I want to say is that your shlpbuilding yards are quite equal to any We have in their equip ment and management and all that. They have come later. and they have the advantage of all the accumulated experience we have had to go upon. And there is American ingenuity at the back of all that on the mechanical side.
 And the result is that. in my opin- ion. you have a fleet that. ship for ship. comparing the ships designed at q given date. and that is the only fair comparison. is equal to anything the world contains. And. next to the Brit ish navy. think your navy is the best in the wori,r

BRYAN ANSWERS QUESTIONS.
Gives New York Audience His Views
 on Socialism and Other Topics.

New York, April William Jen- nings Bryan delivered his lecture upon the Brotherhood of Man" to an audi ence that overfowed Cooper Union. He told the Peoples institute there that our people are revoltlng against the materialism that enthrones Mammon and makes dollars the index to a mans responsibility"
 After his speech Mir Bryan was in. terrogated by those in the audience. He was asked:
 ''ls the Democratic policy of disfran- chising the negro in the south in ac- cord with the spirit of brotherhood, of which you have been speaking?"
 ''The white man of the south puts qualification on negro suffrage in self defense" replied Mir Bryan. "There is not community in the north that would not put on similar qualified tion under the same circumstances. The white man in neither the north nor south will permit a few men to take the solid black vote and use it for the lhdhIiS ol iloucN IekdiulcSs VI tHc TIT terests of the community. as was done by the carpetbaggers in the south."
 If elected president, what will you do about the unemployed?'
 This question contains two ques tions." Mir Bryan said. that of tenn porary relief and that of permanent re- lief. It is the duty of the government to provide that no one shall suffer without his fault For temporary re- lief the government should give work if there is work that can be given, and if there is no work it should give aid. But let not the permanent relief be overlooked
 What is needed in the United States is a more equitable distribution of the proceeds of human toll. To each citi- zen there should be secured reward proportionate to the contribution to the sum of human welfare made by that citizen. I am not socialist I be- lieve that individualism is better than socialism if we remove the existing abuses. Socialism says competition is evil. believe competition is good Socialism grades down: individualism grades up. Man needs the spur of competition, but he should be protect ed in competition by all competitors be- ing put on level plain
