COLONY WITHOUT CRIME.

st. Helena, our little Napoleonic
colony in mid-Atlantic, is a model
community. Its governor, Col. Gall
wey, is also its judge, but in the lat
ter capacity he has little or nothing
to do. He holds court at stated
times, but the only business is the
presentation Of white gloves.
Nevertheless st. Helena has an
inspector of police" and as the
withdrawal of the garrison, hitherto
the chief consumer of local products,
has adversely affected the finances
the st. Helena Guardian urges the
abolition of this unnecessary Of
fetal who has practically nothing to
do" His salary should go to

There is only one surgeon in st.
Helena, and if he became incapaci-
tated the little community on the
lonely Napoleonic rock would be in a
parlous state.

ROTHSCHILD MARRIAGES.
Number OF Unions Between Cousins
Belonging to the Famous
Family.

The founder of the Rothschild
family, Mayer Amschel Of the Red
Shield, dying in 1912, exhortcd his
five sons, engaged as loanmongers
under him in Frankfort, Vienna,
London, Paris and Naples, not only
to remain faithful TO the law of
Moses and stand ever united, but to
undertake nothing Of Importance
without first consulting their mother.
Nathan, founder Of the London
branch, also was so convinced of the
business capacities of his wife,
Cohen, that he not only left the huge
residue of his fortune at her dis
posal, but added instruction that his
sons were to engage in no undertake
ing Of moment without her consent.
How far the instruction was OBJ
served one is not in a position to
say, but it is certain the Rothschilds
have done their best to live in fam
lily unity, for from the gentle point
of view the number that have mar
ried cousins is appalling. Of the five
children of the great Nathan each
married a cousin.
And coming to contemporaries,
Lord Rothschild is the son of cousins
and the husband of a cousin. Re-
turning to Nathan, the Sidonia of
"Coningsby," though his offspring
married cousins, reaction followed
in the next generation, for three of
his granddaughters, two of whom
have been already named, married
not only out Of the family, but out

fRx Assoeiatea Press.l

CAMP ATASCADERO, Oct. 15.--
Colonel McClintock with his Arizona
battalion, marching out of camp to
the tune of should Aud Acquain-
tance Be Forgot?' played by the
Twentieth infantry band, marked at
o'clock this evening the ringing down
of the curtain for the state troops at
Camp Atascadero this year.
The lowering clouds of the morning
were dispelled by noon and as re-
suit the regular troops took the field
in various exercises. The machine
guns under Captain John Parker ham
mered all day with ball ammunition
against lines of lying, sitting and
standing targets, developing a new
use and method of fire for such
weapons. The results were highly
gratifying, one string of twelve shots
making eleven hits at 100 yards. This
is believed to be a record for accu-
racy at that range.
Captains Albert e. TRULY and Robert
S. Carswell have been named as eX-
amining surgeons for the officers who
are to start the riding test tomorrow.
Colonel Stevens, Major Turner and
Major Wright arrived from San Fran
cisco to take the test. An even dozen
will start at o'clock tomorrow.

DR.. Crothers continued 1.-THE pres

one is a sad reflection on the stupidity
of the medical profession. They are
particularly trained to understand the
phenomena and the import of the alco-
holic problem, and yet as class they
practically ignore it and leave the sub
ject to enthusiastic reformers, with
equal propriety and sense.

present attitude will be regarded with

A number of witnesses, including
members of the Los Angeles fire de-

defense today. They all told stories
of foolish actions on the part of Nus
ser. and the little wife, No. l, of Los

whipped her once, and had spent his
money recklessly-
