DIR. Parkhurst on a Nuisance.

The members of the Parkhurst Madi
son Square congregation-an audience,
in fact, which crowded the church to its
capacity-were considerably astonished
Sunday morning when they read the
following paragraphs on the announce
ment cards, which, in order that no one
might miss observing, DR.. Parkhurst
himself read aloud from the pulpit in
his most audible voice: "The following
admonition is prompted not by the sense
of the general fitness of things, but by
very determined complaints made by
members of this congregation. 1t is
not so absolutely essential perhaps to
the success of sanctuary service that
there be an unobstructed view between
the pew and the chancel as it is to the
success of a theatrical or operate per-
Torrance that there be an unobstructed
view between the boxes and the stage;
but in the former case, as 10 the latter,
seats are arranged with the intention of
affording to their occupants an unhinder
ed outlook upon the platform and any
lady who decorates herself in way tc
defeat that intention commits theft upor
the rights of those seated behind her-a
theft not tolerated in the theatre, and 9
theft which Christian consideration
ought to render impossible in the sane
tuary."

Thanksgiving Day we invited six
young men who are from across the sea,
and all far from home and friends. They
are from Turkey in Europe. They are
from IS to 20 years of age, and find en-
ployment in shoe shops. We also invited
Miss Howe, who is their Sunday School
teacher. They are lovely boys, nice
looking and very intelligent and likeable,
all anxious to become the best American
citizens. like to invite those to time
like that who are away from home in a
foreign country and without friends. 1t
was a great day for them. 1t was their
first Thanksgiving dinner. 1t was worth
all the work to see their happy faces.
/ wish you could have seen the table.
1t looked very pretty. In the center of
the table was large bouquet of red and
white pinks tastefully arranged with
fern leaves in tall vase, at the base of
which were placed nine little American
flags, and from the flags streamers of red
and black ribbon were run to each plate
At the end of ribbons each guest found
a name, so that each one knew the place
that had been assigned to him. In the
corner of every card were American and
Albanian flags done in water colors by
Miss Howe. Albania in Turkey is their
native land and red and black are their
national colors. Draped over folding
doors from dining room to parlor were
large American and Albanian flags.
When we sat down to the table each one
pulled on his or her ribbon and secured
one of the little American flags which
were for souvenirs of the occasion.

HOMESTEADERS
Under Gunnison Tun-
mel Project
To be Benefited by Bill Introduced
by Senator Teller in
the Senate

A dispatch from Washington says
that Senator Teller has introduced a
bill in the senate allowing homestead
settlers under the Gunnison tunnel ir-
rigation project to be absent from the
lands they have taken until such time
as the project is completed and water
can be furnished. Senator Teller has
been carrying on a correspondence with
the reclamation service officials and has
learned that the tunnel cannot be COM
pleted before next year and water can
not be furnished settlers before time
for crops in 1909. A letter from the
commercial association at Montrose
says:
"We are cognlzant of many families
who are now holding homestead lands
by sheer pluck. Not more than 10000
acres out of $50, 900 acres taken up have
any water on them at all. Settlers
were given assurance that water ser
vice furnished by the government would
be ready By the spring of 1908"
Engineer Newell of the reclamation
service says there is yet 6,16l feet of
tunnel to drive, and that "a, 439 feet of
tunnel was complete March /; that
81, 700, 900 has been spent On the tunnel
up to date, and it will require an ex-
penditure of $500, 900 more.
Senator Teller has suggested to the
reclamation service that in view of the
fact that the government is to receive
$50, 900 in water fees from settlers after
the first crop is raised on the reclaimed
lands, the government should hasten
completion cf the project. He believes
that homestead settlers should be re-
lieved of the necessity of remaining on
their lands until the project is COM
pleted.

A few weeks ago Mr.. Lee added two
New York evaporators to the California
system and has increased thereby the
capacity of the evaporator to 10000
pounds of green fruit per day.
Our crop demands, however, more
than an evaporator. Hotchkiss needs a
canning factory and we sincerely hope
that Mr.. Lee will not only succeed in
installing the electric lights but will
also work for what we need much
worse-a canning factory.

WON'T CHANGE
Emperor Will Accept Resigna-
tons Due to Strife Over
Retrenchment Question.

TOXIC, July 3.-It Is expected that
the cabinet will resign tomorrow morn
ing. The nominal reason for Marquis
Saionji's resignation is i'll health. The
cabinet is made up of strict members
of the constitutional party. The actual
reason for the premier's resignation is
understood to be the position taken by
Marquis Inouye regarding the future
financial policy of Marquis Saionji. This
includes retrenchment in the army and
the navy, postponement of public
works, demand for a sinking fund and
the yearly repayment of loans.
The Emperor will probably accept
the designations.
In best informed circles IL is de-
clared positively that the general policy
of the government will not be changed.
The present program of retrenchinent
will be carried out.

I KILLED WILSON
BECAUSE DOCTOR
KILLED MY WIFE,
Startling Statement in Letter
Received from Writer Who

RICH BUSINESS MAN
Express Agents Description OF
Him Fits Clues in Poisoned
Ale Mystery.

PHILADELPHIA, July Am accu-
rate description of the man who sent
the bottle of poisoned ale to DR.. Will
lam H. Wilson, which caused his death,
has been obtained from Fred Buck
man, agent In the express Office at
which the poisoner left the bottle to
be delivered to Wilson.
A peculiar phase of the case devolves
about two letters received by the cor
oner's office, one sent from Bristol Pa,
and the other from Boston, Mass. In
one letter the writer says he sent the
poison to DIR. Wilson and in the other
he declares that DR.. Wilson was a
menace to the community and should
have been put out of the way.
That the author of the Boston letter
knew of the Bristol letter is clear, as
the Boston letter says this: "This is in
confirmation of my Bristol letter." and
adds: "It is no use hunting for DIR.
Wilson's murderer. By the time you
find out my name I will be out OF the
country. You need not try to locate
the printer who printed the letter.
heads I used I printed them myself.

murder was not committed for robbery.

Buckman said, describing the man who
sent Wilson the poison, well dressed,
smooth shaven, and wore a straw hat
and suit of blue serge. l observed par
ticularly that the serge was of fine
material and that the suit was well
pressed. He had very natty appear
ance and impressed me at the time as
being a prosperous business man. For
that reason there was no suspicion
concerning the package, which bore the
brewing companys label, and l as
sumed that he might be an officer or a
high-salaried employee of the brewery.
He handed the package to me, say
ing: I want that delivered to DIR.
Wilson as soon as possible 1 gave
him a receipt for 1t and he paid me
25 cents cash and left. Later one of
our wagon drivers delivered 1t at the
Wilson house and received Mrs. Will
sons receipt for it. This man had
rather dark eyes, black hair and a dark
complexion. He was about feet or
Z inches in height, weighed $50 or 100
pounds. and was of a stocky, athletic
build. He had an air of refinement
and was at perfect ease while in this |
office. 1 would know him Immediately |
If were to see him again."
Detectives have learned something
definite concerning the letter received |
by Dr. Wilson prior to the delivery
Of the ale and which letter was pre-
pared to make 1t appear that 1t had
been sent from a local brewing con-
Germ. On the envelope and letter was
the German letter 49," The
detectives found rubber stamp maker
who sold such a stamp to a man who
answers the description of the one who

GIVES AWAY ALL
HIS PET DOGS,
WORTH $4,000
Rich Lawyer Abandons Hobby
Because of Night-Bark-
ing Ordinance.
WANTED THEM KILLED;
VETERINARY REFUSED
Hears Neighb0rs Object to Bark
ing and Takes Prompt
Action.

Because of the Montclair dog ordi-
nance. which prohibits dogs from bark
ing at night, Charles v. Gabriel. a rich
New York lawyer. who resides at 80
Clinton avenue, Montclair. has just
given away his dogs of high pedigree,
valued at more than $4,000. He had a
splendid kennel where the dogs were
kept and had several attendants to wait
on them. He first wanted to have the
dogs killed, but decided to present
them to his friends. Some of the dogs
were worth nearly $1,000 apiece.
Since the dog ordinance was passed
Mr.. Gabriel has figured up that his
twenty-six dogs at five dollars a bark,
would soon make him a poor man. He
decided to have the animals all killed,
and to that end sent for Veterinary
Surgeon James McDonough, of Mont
clair.
When the veterinary arrived at the
home of Mr.. Gabriel and learned what
was to be done with the dogs he pre-
pared to carry Mr.. Gabriers wishes into
effect. They visited the kennel, and
when DR.. McDonough saw the intelli-
gent animals he weakened.
"Mr. Gabriel" said the veterinary, "I
want to do your work for you, and you
are a good client, but I cannot put
those dogs to death; 1t would be like
committing murder. If they were ordi-
nary ours 1 could do 1t, but in this
case 1 must decline"
II must get rid of them," said the
lawyer.
"Why not give them away?" sug-
gested the doctor.
"Well do as you like with them; but
when 1 come home tonight / don't want
to hear a bark" said the lawyer
The doctor started off to find own
ers for the dogs. He brought several
parties to the kennel, and when they
saw that the animals were of high de-
gree he had hard work convincing
them that they had not been bitten by
a mad dog or that something really
was the mater with them. He sue
ceeded, however, in disposing of them,
some taking two or three of the
CANNES.
With each dog went It's pedigree. Mr..
Gabriel having kept regular stud
book of each separately.
Some of the dogs most of which were
of the pointer breed. were valued at
over $1,000. Dr. McDonough said to-
day that the twenty-six dogs and pups
were worth over $4,000
