Sinking Ct Finance Reveals Strange
Error in identities.

A mistake that in man. respects
rivals that made by Little Buttcrcup
In the operctta of "Pinafore" was
brought to light Thursday by the sink,
ing Of the Finance. Among the chill
dren picked up by the George after
the collision is one who was being de-
ported to Colon as The daughter of an
insane man. while the little girl
should have been sent 10 the Ro-
man Catholic Orphan Asylum.
Nine-year-o.d Pepita Etommomou
had been given to the immigration
authorities by the SISTERS OF Mercy
lie asylum at Sedgwick avcnue and
kingsbird road. in place of Blanche
Matara. the S-year-old child of Tony
Matara, who was adjudgei insane and
unfit for citizenship. He was shipped
out of the country, together with hts
6-ysarold son and thu little girl, who
was supposed to be his daughter. Had
the Ft.ance not been wrecked Pepita
would now be en- route to the Canal
Zone in the care Of an INSANE man.
The confusion is due to a mistake In
identity by one OF the sisters at the
orphan asylum anil the simplicity o!
the little girl, Pepira. She really
answered all the questions put to her
by the matrOn. who represented the
immigration bureau. and was placed
on board the Finance. bound for the
Canal Zone on Monday. The delay in
sailing, due to the fog. impeEed the
officers OF the ASYLUM and the immi-
grafton inspectors to try to get the
girl of the ship. but the haze that
held up the ship also hid it from the
view Ct the searchers
The real daughter Of Matara was
brought to this country more than a
year ago with her 6-yearOld brother.
Matara had been iabOrer on the
canal. but breakdown in his h aIth
comp lied him to leave Cole From
the New York Times.

CHAIRMAN MARTINS LIBERAL
VIEWS,

IN accepting thc tHaii h'"""hiP
the City Democratic Committee IN
Richmond, Major Miles NJ. Martin.
who recently was elected to that po-
sition gave expression to views re-
garding party primary rules when
may be characterized as liberal, II not
revolutionary.
In defining the prerequisites to
eligibility Of persons participating In
a Democratic primary election, Chair
man Martin declared his belief that
"only members OF the party holding
a primary should be allowed to vote
In that primary
But he added: When l say men,
bers OF the party l mean members
who at the time OF participating IN
the primary. honestly believe in the
principles OF such party"
This proclamation seems to throw
down the bars to every voter identi-
fed at any time in the past with the
Democratic party. He may have vet
cd at the last national election either
for Bryan or Taft: Hlsgen or wat
son or for Debs. and he may be de-
termined to antagonize the candidate
Of the Democratic party at the next
IL Dat limo

honestly believes In the main prin'
ciples" CT the party. he may vote.

It shall be to ascertain that which
is hidden away In the souls and brains
Of would-be participants in future pri'
maries. BY no other means will II
be possible to discover whether or
. not any particular citizen believes al
that precise moment in the main
principles OF the Democratic party.
In addition to the psychological
board OF examiners. an arbitration
committee should sit in each polling
place to determine what are Demo
cratic main principles" Such bodies
. will be necessary in order to recon

The injuries, disease and peculiari-
ties Of the people who lived in the val

early Christian times, a period Of
over 5000 years. are shown In a
pathological collection on view at the

The collection was obtained during the
exploration of ffty-seven cemeteries
In the area of the Nile valley lying I'm
mediately south of the pillars of 10
nosso, which mark the frontier of an
Client Egypt.
The survey was carried out under
the direction of Captain Fl. G. Lyons
of the Egyptian government. In one
grave were found the abdominal or
gans of woman so we'll preserved

suffered from appendicitis. which Is
considered to be the earliest evidence
of this disease. Typical LESSONS of

Pointed Paragraphs.

If you have shadow of suspicion
keep ii dark.
Actions OF the bass drummer speak
louder than his words.
Some politicians are like circus
posters always on the fence.
The esteem and regret most people
have for you is both tedious and taste
less.
And if the average woman gave
voice only TO her thoughts she would
talk less.
The average man would rather ad-
NIT that he is wrong than TO admit
the other fellow is right.
A little debutante is a dangerous
thing.
The man who figures on doing a
little of everything never cuts much
of figure at anything.
As a rule, people do not think as
much of their ancestors as they think
of their heirlooms.
One good kiss deserves another.
"Tis love that makes the man come
round.
He loves best whose love lasts.
People who live in glass houses
shouldn't hold hands.
The woman who celebrates is won.
Be sure you're right then lose your
head.

BeQQars Are INGENIOUS.

Nowhere is the ingenuity of the
present age more apparent than In
the begging letters received by rich
men," said private secretary. II
have been reading letters of that kind
by the hundred for the last fifteen
years. Formerly all begging letters
sounded alike. So stereotyped were
they that they might have been copied
verbatim from ready letter writer.
Now the writer's display originality.
They may want the same old things
that their predecessors wanted. but
they ask for them In different way.
People In need have acquired the art
of expressing themselves forcibly.
That Is to their advantage.
ut may be unjust, but usually 1t is
the letter that hits the rich man hard
est that brings favorable reply. The
writer may not really need assistance
nearly so badly as some timid person
who can't get away from trite phrases.
but he gets the relief asked for every
time. New York Globe.
