MERCHANTS after
THWING and THE0.
But They Deny They Had
Pay OF Sailors
Held Up

A persistent rumOr, which on the
face of it appeared to be founded on
some authority, had 1t yesterday and
today that the fact that the men of
the Maine and the Alabama were not
being paid OFF at this port, and the
order for the men to be on board the
ships at midnight, were the results
of request made by Rev. Mr..
Thwing and Thee. Richards to the
officers of these vessels, asking them
that these steps be taken.
The officers OF the commercial or
CARNATIONS were approached by the
business men who were interested in
the matter, as they felt that their
business was being injured, and they
promised to take the matter up In
case absolute facts were presented to
them
While Thwing has gone to the Vol
cano. and could therefore not be
found, Richards yesterday denied alb
solutely that he had made any such
request, or that he had had anything
whatever to do with the warships,
their officers or their men. He was
considerably amused over the state
me Mt OF the matter made to him, and
said that he expected that he and
Thwing were now being made the
scapegoats for everything which oc-
Cured and which did not please the
community.
On board the ships, general ignor-
ance OF the, Thwlng-Isichards matter
exists, according to statements from
a number OF responsible officers to-
day.

The IMPuoNEp JuRlsr

o. ]. Weeks, q prominent Brooklyn
business man, recently asked to be
excused from jury duty on the ground,
as he stated In q very wen written let
ter, that he objected to the present
method OF juggling with the law, split
ting hairs and granting appeals on any
pretext."
A wholesale confectioner of New
York, friend Of Mr.. Weeks. said the
other day:
"A good many Americans. seeing how
expeditiously and cheaply cases are
handled abroad and how long and with
what cost to the taxpayers as well as
to the contestants they are dragged out
here, will heartily agree with Mr..
Weeks. I'm glad he wrote his letter.
Our laws do need reforming.
But MFR. Weeks makes no charge
against the judiciary. He doesn't inn
pugn their good faith. 1t is only the
system that he falls upon.
HE told me yesterday he didn't at
tack the judges. He said he held them
in no such suspicion as a Brooklyn
chicken thief held a Brooklyn Judge
last month.
"This Judge. he explained, said to the
convicted chicken thief:
"rWhat I don't understand, Calhoun,
IL how 1t was possible for you to steal
those broilers when they were roosting
right under their owners window and
there were two vicious watchdogs in

Calhoun chuckled and answered:

the enormous breakfast food business
loathed fads.

ers. He told a golf story that he had
heard in Scotland.
"A player asked an old friend to come
and have game OF golf with him.
What's golf?' said the friend.
Come up to the Inks, said the
player, and I'll show you
ITO the links they went. The player
took a pinch OF moist sand from a
trough, built a tiny hill Of 1t, and on
top of the hill set his bali. Then he
made a terrible swing, nd missed.
He tried again. and again missed.

evening in the smoking room of his

THE present came as a surprise.
Mark Twain knew nothing of 1t till,
amid a party Of relatives and friends,
he was shown over lne luxurious
place. Then. when they told him 1t
was his, tears filed his eyes.
But he was still the humorist, and
turning to his father-in-law, he said,
though In a voice that trembled a
little:
"'Mr. Langdon, whenever you're In

MILLIONS EPIC is NOT

SUSPICION
Raids at Lynn Result In Discovery of
CURIOUS Devotion to Classics
on the Part OF Club
Members

BOSTON, June 27.-Milton's Para
disc Lost" had the narrowest kind of
an escape from being classified as a
gambling implement in Lynn yesterday,
when the police descended upon several
so-called literary clubs in that city in
quest of evidence which would tend to
show that members were more adept
in the study of the fickle turn Of chance
than Of bellies lettres.
For while there was some earnest
discussion among the patrolmen as to
the status of the book in the eye of
the law, and it was some time before
1t was decided that the man who was
found in one of the clubs with the vol
ume in his hand could not be properly
arrested for having a gaming device
in his possession.
Advocates of summary measures held
that the title gave 1t a standing some
what similar to that of dreambook
In policy case. Paradise Lost" read
out one of the bluecoats who was not
particularly strong on enunciation, and
to his comrades it sounded very much
as though a ounle of dice were in
question.
The raids were made early yesterday
morning, and without exception were
fruitleSS. The authorities think there
is gambling in Lynn, but the places
which looked suspicious on the outside
were nothing but reading rooms when
the officers went within. All that the
police discovered was several men
deep in the perusal of gems of litera-
ture, with plank doors and buyers to
protect them from interruption. Not a
card nor a chip was In sight.

in charge Of one raiding squad. found

Among other works which proved thus

of Cicero's orations.
Sergeant McBrien. In charge of an
other squad, entered a similar club on
Union street but after making their
way through a barber shop and break
ing through a partition the officers
came upon what looked like q class of
students spiugging' for an examina-
ton.
According to the police view the pro-
prietors OF poker and crap games in
Lynn have all provided themselves with
small libraries for the purpose of
thwarting possible ariders.

two asparagus lovers to dinner. Half
the asparagus course was prepared
with oil and vinegar the other half
with drawn butter, and ON Fontenelle's
arrival the hostess explained this ar
rangement to him.
"But just as the dinner hour arrived
there came pallid messenger from the
archbishop's house The good arch

He ran to the door and opened 1t. Then
he shouted across the hall to the white
