A Professor Gone Wrong.

A college professor lately said that
no new pleasure had been discovered
in modern days. Is not the reading of
the morning paper a pleasure they did
not have in Greece and Rome? Is not
the knowledge that we are not in ig-
norance of any important event
throughout the world for the past "a
Is it no pleasure to pass from Europe
to America and from New York to
San Francisco? Is there no gain and
qualification in the fact that the utter
most ends Of civilization are brought
under observation within the limits of
a summers holiday with little risk Of
life and limbs? Is it nothing that
even the man of one language can
now command the profit of all the lit
erature of all times and of all peoples?
Should not the professor revise his
language FLORIDA Times Union.

A Zoo for Boston,

For many years Boston has been so
far behind other cities of importance
in her lack of geological garden that
Alexander Pope's plan to acquire a
tract of land in the Middlesex Fells
to be devoted to the housing OF wild
animals and birds ought to be regard
ed with favor by the people in gen.
eral. The proposed location may be
objected to because of it's distance
frog the city proper, yet there seems
no . Their place that will meet all the
wT1ts of a zoo so well. And with the
new electric transportation, the Fells
are practically not far off.
The geological society is already in
existence, some funds have been
raised and plans made to present a
bill to the next legislature asking au-
thority for the metropolitan park COM
mission to equip quarters for the an
imals that will be supplied gratis by
the society. Certainly the expense
would not be great, while the benefit
to the people in pleasure and instruc-
ton would make the institution well
worth paying for.
The legislature ought to favor the
scheme. But meantime, The Post
would suggest that if the geological
society were to substantially add to
the $4,000 already in hand by pri-
vate subscriptions, their request would
be much more effective with the mem
bers of the general court. Them as
has, gifts" is an ancient New Eng
land adage still well beloved by So

Savannah, Americas and Rome are
candidates for the conclave of the
knights Templar in 1910 and a real
spirited contest is being waged by
these three enterprising cities.
Savannah has sent over a large

the fight won anl tina, the next con-
claVe will surely be held in that city.
Americas, however, is making a strong
bid for he meeting and many OF
the knights favo: that enterprisins
city.
Rome. it is understood. will extend
the conclave an invitation, but the
knights from that city do not hope to
secure the 1910 convention. but are
already preparing for the meeting of
1911. and, by bidding now, that north
Georgia city will stand an excellent
chance of securing the conclave two
years hence.
The meeting place for 1910 will be
selected at the business session of the
CommandeIy this morning.

Clearly there was no room for ar
gument. The detective acknowledged
submission to the august ofhciaPs de-
cision by a bow modelled closely on
the lines of the latter's own theatrical
salutation, and the preliminary for
malities were at an end. Ten minutes
later Davidson made his appearance
on the scene and Murray pointed him
out to the mayor. The latter whis-
pered excitedly to the intendente, who
drew himself erect and barked out a
stern, sharp command. Immediately
the 60 soldiers .whirled around
pounced heroically upon Davidson,
formed a hollow square about him
with carbines levelled directly at his
head, and marched him off in triumph
to the calaboose.
The mayor was in transports of de
light.
Truly it is of wonder" he ex
claimed, as the valiant 60, without a
tremor of fear, marched away with
their lone victim. Behold you the de
tenders of our Mexico, Senior Murray!
Such courage! Such precision! Beauti
full Bravo, bravo!'
/, The detectives emotion was toe
great to be expressed in mere words
and he bowed profoundly. Upon Wis
iting Davidson in the calaboose the
latter denied his identity.

turned his attention to Davidson's

of the Bank of Hamilton, who knew

Murray to Ell Paso, Texas, on the
border of Mexico.
They reached Ell Paso on November
16, and Murray paid a visit to his
friend, Manager Davis, of the Wells
Fargo Express company. This gentle
man furnished him with letters to sew
eral persons in Mexico, among them
being Supt. Comfort, of the Mexicon
Central railroad. Murray called upon
| Comfort at Ciudad Juarez. He had al
ready located Davidson, under the
name of Graham, checking cars for the
railroad company. The superintendent
telegraphed to Graham to come to
Ciudad Juarez. He also sent for the
mayor of the city, polite, suave Next
can gentleman, to whom Murray ex-
| planned his mission and desire to have
Davidson taken into custody. The
mayor bowed magnificently, smiled,
bowed again, and said that he would
be 'pleasurably agitated" to have of
ficers ready to arrest the malefactor
outrageous when the latter arrived.
Mr.. Comfort stated that Davidson
would be there in about four hours,
whereupon the mayor bent double in

other expansive smile. and withdrew.
