Mayor Withrow has received
many complaints from citizens
Of the town regarding the
scuffling and running on the
sidewalks down town. At diff
ferent times the boys, and
young men as we'll, have en-
gagged in wrestling matches on
the sidewalks and ladies coming
down town, had to go out in
the street in order to get along.
The marshals have been given
orders concerning this kind of
business, and it would be a
favor to the city officials if you
would file information against
any you see engaging in this
practice, and using the side
walks for the purpose.

EH9LaHd'S Censorship.

The personal discomforts bred by cen
sorship to censor ana censored must be
annoying to both, as well as TO the
public; but then the conduct OF the cen
sor has some advertising ADVANTAGES
for an author. Edward Garnett, as we
know, is an English playwright. and he
has written a play called THE Break
ing Point" 1t has been published. and
1t has also been accepted for production
at the Haynarket Theater But. under
the English law and practice, It must
first be passed upon by the censor, and,
in this case, the ceBsor has delayed Civ
ing his license for so long a time that
Mr., Garuett writes to tie censor and
requests an explanation In answer 20
this note, the censor writes that he
Is unwilling to censurs the play but
he has been putting pressure on the
manager to withdraw the piece" Per
haps, 1t Is suggested, this may be the
beginning Of the end Of the office. 1t
would be interesting If the movement
for the freedom Of The press, begun by
John Milton, should be brought to an
end by a subterranean tyranny Cxer-
cised at the expense OF Edward Gar
nett-Harper' Weekly.

Star of 7e Chorus Lazy Sanqy, But Only When on the Stage
The Old-FaShiOned
Wind Mill Now
Thing of Past

The o1d-fashioned four-armsd wind
mill. such as Don CuixOte rnistook for
a giant. has now become almost extinct
in this country, where il never gained o
very firm footing, even during colonial
days. But the circular type OF wind
mill IS now common feature OF the
American landscape. especially in the
middle West. and on the great plains
extending between the Mississippi river
and the Rocky mountains. They are Of
great use about a farm for the opera
ton OF small machines and the pro-
vision OF private water supplies.
In both England and Denmark suo-
cessful experiments have been made
with these circular windmills for the
purpose Of providing power for private
electric light installations. The earliest
attempt TO use a windmill for this pur-
pose was made by George Cadbury, an
Englishmar. some twelve years ago.
and, although this plant was very badly
prOportiOned. owing to the lack Of pre-
vious experience. the lighting was. On
one occasion kept up for six weeks
without a break. Excellent results have
been obtained In a later installation by
means Of the knowledge gained during
this Initial experiment, and a plant
erected three years later, for lighting
a large mansion in Yorkshire, has given
the utmost satisfaction to the owner.
In this instance circular windmill
thirty feet IN diameter drives a suitable
dynamo. the electric current generated
being stored in a battery Of accumuia-
tors until required. The plant Is looked
after by 3 gardener, who devotes about
four hours a week TO th4s dUfw. the
windmill being left running for MANY
hours at q time without any atten-
tion whatever. Another successful In
stallation for deriving electric current
from wind power has been laid down
at AskOW, in Denmark. where an old
fashioned, fOur-armed windmill Of large
power is used for the public supply of
electricity TO $50 inCandescsnt lamps,
and lesser number of arc lights An
oil engine IS the only alternative IN
remote country district: and though
no very great saving in cost follows tho
use OF q windmill, the latter Is much
the more robust prime-mover OF the
two, as II runs very slowly and the
chance OF breakdown is very remote
whereas an oil engine works at high
speed and is fitted with very delicate
mechanism

After having played the role OF slangy
Patricia O'Brien, first IN a twenty-min-
ute sketch in vaudeville and then IN

times, It would be but natural to expect
that Miss Rose Stahl, star IN The

Columbia Theater next week, has as
simulated, unconsciously, many Of he
manneTisms and expressions or he
character she portrays.
One would think the constant use Of
such expressions as gee whiz," get

would use them IN private life. But
