The Real Number.

The Real Number.
And then came the real event of the
evening-the star attraction, as it were.
The place on the program having been
reached where resolutions and motions
were supposed to be in order the clerk
read lengthy typewriter resolution
which, after reciting numerous where
ases, provided for the appointment by
the board of two appraisers to act in
conjunction with like number of
which some of the members seemed
to imagine would be appointed by the
Glenwood Light and Water company.
the four appraisers to select fifth
member and this board of appraisers
to place a valuation on the property
of the said Light and Water company
with a view to its purchase by the
town.
What Barnes Had Heard.
In support of the resolution Mr..
Barnes said he had understood that
such an arrangement would be satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Lyle as he had "heard"
that that gentleman was very anxious
to have the matter settled, although
Just what matter he referred to he did
not make clear. Mr.. Lucas stated that
he had not heard of any such desire
on the part of Mr.. Lyle and Showalter
and Oldenburg reminded their asso-
ciates that they were starting an ex-
pensive row which would accomplish no
good.
1t was evident from the start, how
ever, that the plan was cut and dried
| and that the slate must go through, no
| matter what the cost so after the
mayor and Trustee Cardnell had des-
eanted eloquently though briefly upon
the beauties of municipal ownership
the mayor forced a vote which resulted
as follows: Ayes, Barnes, Barlow, Card
nell; nays, Lucas, Showalter, Olden-
burg, as per previous arrangement
Mayor Drach east the deciding vote
making four ayes and declared the
| nOllOu
Barnes was loaded for the occasion
and promptly nominated for the town g
appraisers b. T. Napier and Frank
Walter. Showalter wanted to know
what these people knew about the cost
of water plants thus raising the ques
tion as to their capability. This was
a foolish question for Hugh to raise as
he should have known that they were
not supposed to know anything about
such matters and were not appointed
for that purpose but this was brought
out later when Barnes informed him
that he "thought" that SO far as Mr..
Napier was concerned he was pretty
well posted on most any old subject,
thus leaving poor old Frank Walter
out in the cold.
Cardnen Wants Them Prejudiced.
Mr.. Cardnell did not help matters
any by honestly confessing that h.
thought the town should name men who
are prejudiced in the towns behalf.
He wanted to make sure that there
should be no question as to the position
the appraisers should take. He was
reminded that If the board was select.
ing appraisers according to his double
standard Of qualification, certainly NO

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
An interesting session of the board
of town trustees was held at the coun.
ell chambers last night, providing a
variation from the ordinary routine
serves to make a meeting interesting.
Almost the first business taken up
after the clerk had read the minutes
of two previous meetings was the
question of issuing saloon licenses to
the following persons or firms: O'Neil
& Richardson, d. O'Berto, Bagett Bros
NJ. Damaestri, Pete Peterson, II. w.
Smith, Joe Benedek. James Sheridan,
Ed Bosco, Clint Marvin, Bart Petrini,
Charles Lang, II. o. Yewell, Tom
Quinn and Ecker & Velotti, the last
two firms having made application to
establish new saloons.
Cardnell Opposes More Saloons.
Mr.. Cardnell stated that he was op.
posed to granting any more liquor Ii
censes as he thought the town was
amply supplied with saloons especially
when it is understood that in the above
list is not included two hotel bars and
the Lavine saloon has not made appli-
cation for an extension of license but
he understood that would be done.
The other five members of the coun-
ell seemed under the impression that
the town is n little shy on booze dis
pensaries and they voted to add the
two new firms to the fraternity after
Mayor Drach had suggested that "the
town needs the money" it being re-
membered that each of the applications
was accomplished by a check for $3.50
and also bond for good conduct. In
this connection Mr.. Cardnell stated to
the council that George Edinger, whose
name appeared on several of the bonds
was not property owner and therefore
not qualified as n bondsman. He said
that although Edinger was worth scv.
eral thousand dollars he was Judgment
proof and tax proof and that in ease
he were asked to make good on one of
those bonds he would simply give the
town the laugh and he thought he
should therefore not be accepted. 9th
er members thought if the principal
and one surety were financially re-
sponsible the bonds were all right and
with this view of it, they were ap
proved.

Sir Isaac Newton.
~ y. -. EDGE n TOM

N N this age of doubt many Of our
most cherished legends are being
assaulted, the various apple sto-
ries along with the rest. There
Aaye been at least three famous apples
h history-the one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot. off his sons head by.
William Tell and the one whose fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
Of gravitation. Despite the scofing of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton was rather dull boy and
was literally kicked into exertion. He
stood at the foot Of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead of
him in the class. This he did, and
more, for he went to the head of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission to Cambridge univer-
sity. He knew so little about Euclid
that the professor Of mathematics op-
posed admitting him. Newton there.
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded SO well that he became the
greatest mathematical genius of mod
ern times.
Voltaire started the story Of the up
Pile that fell and hit Newton SO hard
that the young man determined to find
out what made it fall. If so great
skeptic as Voltaire could swallow the
story, there is no reason why 1t should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac first made his COM
putations on the subject Of gravita-
ton, he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held of the length Of the
earth's radius. He therefore abandon
ed the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
to the subject, completed the demon
stration and gave it to the world in bis
famous "Principia."
In the meantime he had made Lis nj

cerning light, dividing white light into

SUGGESTIONS For Campers.

!
II the vacation is to be spent In camp
aife, hygienic principles must be re
membered. The cleansing of the skin
must never be omitted, and the daily
bath should also be taken.
I Food should be looked after as care
fully as at home, and all the fresh
fruit cream and eggs that can be had
should be taken.
Little meat is necessary unless one
goes tn for considerable exertion, but
vegetable salads and fish are excellent
There are two things that campers
must take with them to the woods and
streams-adaptabil and good humor.
Be ready to go anywhere, to sink
your own personal objections and
tastes. to make life as easy as possible
for your companions.
The pure air, the restful silence, the
morning plunge In the cool lake, the
long days spent In the open air, make
camp life the ideal way to regain
strength and happiness, for which all
vacatlonists are supposed to be seek
ing.
The woman who works in the office
all the year around owes it to herself
10 spend her vacations admirably.
To 60 to some overcrowded seaside
resort Is not the best way to spend the
annual two weeks, or to go to some
stupid little country town where there
is no fishing bathing or boating, where
there Is nothing to do but gossip and
dawdle time away, Is no way for any
one under sixty to spend holiday.
Health and pleasure must be combin-
ed to form the vacation that Is worth
while.

Good Roads and Prosperity.

Nothing stimulates home trade like
good roads. In many parts of the
country the farmers are practically
shut off from the town during the wet
season. The wives and daughters of
the farmer find it inconvenient to make
frequent trips to town during these
months, go they naturally resort to the
mail order catalogue FOR part Of
their shopping. The result is that home
merchants lose trade which they might
ret IL the roads were better.

MRS. MARTIN WOULD
HOLD JOHN GUILTY
Woman Secures Deposition of
Criminologist to Show Boys
Mind Is Defective
Youth Admits He Told Specialist
of Impulses to Kill, Lie
and Steal

OAKLAND, Oct 22.-The first definite
intimation of the actual line of defense
for Mrs. Isabella j. Martin adopted by
Attorneys Frick and Wyman was given
this morning during the third day of
Baby John" Martins cross examina-
tion. Frick reverted to the visit paid
by the boy and Mrs. Martin to DIR. Aus
tin Flint of New York city few
months after the Ogden explosion, for
which Mrs. Martin is being tried.
Frick asked in detail whether John
had not informed the doctor, who was
ranked as an expert criminologist,
that he had strong impulses to kill, to
lie and to steal John admitted that
he had answered in the affirmative, but
took all the sting out by saying that
Mrs. Martin had promised him a rare
beating unless he answered yes to all
such questions propounded to him.
Frick endeavored to nullify the effects
of this by making John admit that he
was month past 16 years of age at
the time.
Did you not tell DIR. Flint that you
had two natures and that good and evil
constantly struggled for the mastery
within you?"
Il did" said John Mrs. Martin said
she would beat me if 1 answered in the
negative"
While engaged in her own defense
last summer without the aid of an at
torney Mrs. Martin sent for DIR. F'lints
deposition. The deposition. in which
the same questions were asked, will be
used for the defense. Mrs Martin in
eluded an interrogatory whether DR..
Flint had not stated that pressure of
the skull on an area of Johns brain
rendered him abnormal and called for
a surgical operation to cure the defect.
Flint was said to have diagnosed the
boys condition as demanding such an
operation in order to cure his alleged
criminal instincts.
, Frick took the boy over the ground
of his testimony regarding the Ogden
bomb and explosion. He did not ma
terially shake the testimony previously
given by John.

Crook Aband0ns Animal When
Owner Starts in Pursuit
on Bicycle

SAN LEANDRO, Oct. 22.-Boldly
snatching purse from the hand of
Miss Margaret Bradley of 204 East Six
teenth street while she was standing
with her mother at the corner of
Sanders and Hayward avenues yester-
day afternoon, a daring thief attempted
to make his escape by jumping on a
saddle horse belonging to George Jor-
gensen, which was hitched near by.
Before the fellow could unite the
halter Miss Bradley sprang upon him
and wrested her purse away. There
upon the thief urged the horse into a
gallop and disappeared in cloud of
dust just as the owner of the animal
came running out to see what was the
matter
AS soon as Jorgensen saw that the
thief was trying to steal his horse, he
secured bicycle and started out in
pursuit, overtaking him near San Lo-
renzo. AS he drew near the fellow
dismounted and made away on foot
across the fields. Jorgensen devoted
bis attention to capturing his horse
and made no attempt to pursue the
thief. No trace of him has been found
since he deserted the horse.
