STRANGE ACTION OF MEMORY.
Scenes of other Days, Thought For
gotten, Are Suddenly Flashed
Into the Mind.

Often suggestions out of all keeping
with the surroundings come, and it
may be asked, What made you think
Of that?" Frequently we are positive
that no conscious train of thought has
brought up the idea. These memories,
out of all rhyme and reason with our
atmosphere and conscious occupation.
pop into the mind and surprise US
with their incongruity. Are these
spontaneously originated as they seem
to be, or have we merely forgotten
the connecting train of ideas, as is
often contended? The author but re-
Gently, while looking at some dill pick

WHEN NAPoLE0N'S STAR SET.
Pathos in Last Address of Fallen
Emperor to the Troops Still
Loyal to Him.

It was at Fontaineblesu that Napo-
leon received the pope in 1904. It
was at Fontainebleau that he impris-
oned the pope-the apartment which
served as his prison is still shown
in 1872 and 1913. Finally, for Meme
sis would have it so, it was at Fon-
tainebleau that Napoleon signed his
abdication and said foreweu to his
army in 1914, coming down the horse
shoe staircase at the head of the
Cour du Cheval Blanc, and placing
himself at the head of the guard, as
If for review:
For 20 years." he said, 4 have
been well content with you, and you
have always been with me on the path
of glory. With your help and that Of
all the brave men who are still loyal,
I could have carried on the war for
three years longer; but France would
have suffered, and I cid not wish that
to happen.

been easy; but I would not. I prefer

Gen. Petit. Bring me the eagle! Dear
eagle. May these kisses find their

That, surely, is the most pathetic,
as it is also the most dramatic, scene
in the whole history of Fontainebleau

PITTSBURG, June 29.-With rousing
cheers from both street car men and hun
dreds of Pittsburgers, cars were run out
Of the various barns of the Pfttsburg
Railway Company at am. today. Three
hours later every division was in full ope-
ration and schedules were being main
tanned.
The ending of Greater Pittsburg's first
as the beginning.
While the trouble was adjusted by
Mayor William A. Magee. with a compro-
mise agreement favorable to the men,
concessions were granted by the union
and company.
Excepting one point, which will be ar
bitrated later, every difference was set
tied definitely at the conference held In
the mayors once last night.
Victory for the Men.
The settlement Is apparently COM
plete victory for the men. Every point
is conceded by the company save that oi
drinking when in uniform, even though
of duty The men held that man had
the right to drink II he saw ut after his
days work was done. but this was de.
MED by the company. and a motormar

for not assisting In clearing wrecked

With the expectation Of walking te
town or riding in a wagon. thousands OF
Pittsburgers were astir early today
Owing to lateness of the hour last night
1t was not generally known that the
strike had been settled. The greatest
pleasure was manifested by all when u
was learned the trouble had been ad-
iusted. Many of those who arose early
returned to their homes and discussed the
Inconvenience experienced Sunday and
Yesterday until their regular time to 90
down town.
Mayors Threat Causes Settlement.
The mayor, who had not slept since
Friday night, submitted last night a
proposition to both sides, which he was
instructed to reduce to writing, after
which il was considered and adopted.
The mayor had been swinging the club
all day He announced the discovery of
an old law under which he could seize
the street car lines In the name OF the
city and operate them for the accommo-
dation of the public. His threat that he
would appeal to this law caused both
sides to consult the best corporation at
torneys, and last night they listened to
reason 1t is conceded that the mayor
threat caused the settlement.
Two deaths have thus far been attrib-
uted to the strike.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 29.-while holding up
his gold shield to show an Italian from
whom he demanded admission to an Ital-
Ian boarding house that he came In the
name of the law, Detective Joseph Beck
err attached to Parkville street station,
Broo'-lyn. was shot down at 2:15 o'clock
this morning.
Becker was out on assignment to in
vestigate report of a shooting at 1868
seth street. the address in front of which
he was wounded.
With him was Detective William
Meyers. and to the police system OF send
ing plain-clothes man c.t in pairs. Is
probably due the capture Of the man sus.
pected of using the gun.
Meyers turned in call for the reserves
and then guarded the entrance to prevent
any one from leaving the place.
Twelve Men Arrested.
When help from the station house ar
rived the place was surrounded and
twelve men. found inside, were arrested.
Later, after being examied before Po-
lice Capt. Farr at the station house, all
but one Of the Italias were released. The
police believe that the man detained is
the one they want. He is described as
Austine Dominick. thirty-ive years old,
and at present he is merely held on suspi-
cion for further investigation.
Detective Becker's jaw was shattered
by the shot and he Is now at the Nor
wegian Hospital in a serious condition.
Suspect a Ruse Was Used.
Many circumstances about the shooting
still remain to be explained. The police
believe that either the detectives were
lured there on ruse or else some crime
preceded their arrival.
The first call for an ambulance came
earlier in the night from the house from
which the detective was shot, and when
DR.. Byrne Of the Norwegian Hospital
responded he was informed that he was
not wanted and that no one needed a doc
tor.
Some hours later rumors OF serious
trouble at the house reached the Park
Vile station, and the two plain-c,othes
men were sent out to investigate.

man had attempted to bind and gag him
while in the automobile and that he had
been robbed of $500.

DELAY IN SUGAR CASES.
Postponement Likely to Determine
Question Of Procedure.

That the government prosecution Of the
American Sugar Refining Company has
not been abandoned was the opinion ex-
pressed by the Department of Justice
oficials today in the absence from the
department Of Attorney General Wicker
sham, who was engaged at an early con-
ference at the White House In the pure
food whisky cases and later attended the
cabinet meeting. The officials pointed out
that in view of the eminence of counsel
representing the American Sugar Refin-
ing Company, who have set up the claim
that the prosecution of the company Is
barred by the statute Of limitations, 1t Is
quite possible that the Attorney General
has consented to the Temporary postpone
ment of further proceedings until that
question can be thoroughly examined.
The statement that United States At
torney Wise will abandon the sugar case
proceedings before the grand jury and
leave immediately for Paris to take testi-
mony In the libel cases growing out OF
the transfer of the Panama canal prop
erty is questioned by the officials.

GREEK PASSING As 4 STUDY
DEPLORED By PRESIDENT HAD
LEY IN ANNUAL REPORT.
Clifford Pinchot Presides at Meeting
Of Yale Alumni-Two Large
Gifts Announced.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. June 29-Presi.
dent Hadley presented his report at the
meeting of the alumni at Alumni Hall
this morning at Yale. Clifford Pinchot,
80, presided.
President Hadley's report referred to
the diminution in the study Of Greek and
it's effect. the possibility Of combining
modern culture studies with the old-fash-
ioned requirement Of hard work, the
considerations which should govern the
choice of professors, and the possibility
of introducing honor courses like those
Of Oxford and Cambridge into the Ameri-
can college.
Greek" President Hadley says, lis
an intellectual game where the umpires
know the rules better than they know
the rules in the game Of French, for in
stance, or history or botany mans s
rating in an examination on any one OF
these last three subjects is largely the
result Of accident, unless the examiner
is quite unusually skillful. A man s
rating in Greek, on the other hand, means
something. Unfortunately, large num-
ber of the strongest men, both in Eng
land and the United States, have decided
that this game takes more time than It Is
worth.
PERSONALLY believe that this change OF
mind was in many respects a misfortune
that in trying to get more practical re-
suits in the way of knowledge or culture
a great many American college boys
have lost the training which the Greek
would have given them and gained moth
ing of equal value In its place. But col
leges cannot teach thing to public
which does not want to study it. and we
must recognize the fact that an increas-
ing part of the American public does not
care to have its sons give the time nec-
essary for the effective use of the Greek
language as a means of competition and
discipline. This makes academic prob
lens more difficult
Among the recent gifts of special i'm
portance not previously announced are
100000 from Mrs. Morris *. Jesup for
the endowment of a professorship in sill
$4,000 from an anonymous friend OF the
art school in memory of the late Richard
s. Fellowes of the class OF 1882.

Savannah, Ga, Nov Ga real mint
julep failed to tempt President Taft

looked at the inviting mixture, smiled
and then got busy with a bountiful
breakfast. He had plenty to
eat, included waffles, quail, fried chick
en- sausage, steak, broiled ham, broil-
ed chicken and grits.
eff this is what you would call
breakfast, I wonder what dinner would

The mint julep remained in the glass
when the President left the table. Its
ultimate fate is bit uncertain, but
Taft did not drink it-that much is
sure.
