PERSONAL LIBERTY

PERSONAL LIBERTY.
Our Christian Jurist warns us
The one thing we should dread
Is lest we lose those liberties
For which our fathers bled.
On the East Side of Manhattan
He oft and freely talks
of how the pushcart men should fill
Up all the streets and walks.
For if a fire engine comes
And mains six, eight or ten,
'Tis but their blessed privilege
In country for free men,
That washtubs on the fire escapes
Should ever be molested
May save some lives, but at the prics
OF tyranny detested.
If now and then you wish to knock
Your neighbor on the head,
No doubt the rascal less deserves
To be alive than dead.
Most cruel oppression il would be
To call In the police,
When like as not no mothers son
Would mourn the ours" decease.
If ten-year-olds desire to see
Those moving picture shows,
lnjunctions were obliged to write
That none may interposs.
Those tenement laws must he defed.
They spoil the tenants right
To live where there is neither health
Nor decency nor light.
Each year or two some Drydock dive
Is closed without conjunction.
Unless its doors are kept ajar
BY a transporting injunction.
But have cheer. my neighbors,
From my record you can see
If | could be elected
How different things would be-

ARCHITECTS AGREED
TO DISAGREE BUT
DID NOT QUARREL
Unfounded Story Which
Made Them Strenuous
Combatants Put In
Circulation.
Visit of Farmer Reporter to
Office Finds Partners
Peaceful and Each Engag-
ed in Collecting His Own
Effects.

Without any apparent foundation
there was a story in circulation to-day
to the effect that Arthur H. Meloy and
FTerecik H. Beckwith, architects, who
comprise the firm of Meloy & Beck
with had had an argument last even
ing which became so heated that the
services of DR.. Homer Clark of Kos
suth street was required to repair
some of the damage done by Mr.. Beck
with in emphasizing his part of the
argument.
The rumor also had it that Mr.. Beck
with had been trying to get out of
the firm quietly and that the alterca-
ton had followed tlre discovery Of the
condition of affairs by Mr.. Meloy.
DR.. Clark, who is associated with
Mr.. Meloy in the Colonial Chemical
Co stoutly denied there had been any
trouble that he knew and said that
he had not been called in a profess
siona1 capacity.
A Farmer reporter called at the Of
flee of the architects, % Post Office
Arcade. this afternoon and both men,
Oers of the firm who were there were
most anxious to learn where the story
of the alteration emanated from.
Mr.. Beckwith said: 1--WE are dissolv-
Ing partnership and at present we are
engaged in dividing up the property
to a number of open drawers at the
rear Of the establishment and there
were two heaps of the implements
and equipment of the office showing
each partner was looking after his own
interests.
He continued: There has been no
quarrel that I know Of and don't
know where such a story could have
come from I have been in Mr. Me-
loy's office since I was boy and we
have disagreed about the methods of
conducting the business. have the
greatest regard for Mr.. Meloy and al
ways will have"
The reporter asked which one of the
firm was getting out, the senior or the
junior. Mr.. Beckwith said that he
was going to keep the old stand in the
Arcade.

ATTRACTIVE GIRL
TAKES OWN LIFE
Pretty Agnes Scott Had
Been Melancholy Since
Mother Died.
Procured Carbolic Acid To-
day and Swallowed the
Deadly Stuff-Physicians
Could Not Recussitate
Her.

Agnes Scott, 20 years old. an orphan,
drank two ounces of carbolic acid with
suicidal intent at 1890 to-day and was
taken to ST. Vincent's Hospital
in the Emergency ambulance. The
girls father has been dead for years.
Her mother died a year ago. Since
that time she has been melancholy.
She boarded with the family of Her
man Nelson at 1899 Hancock avenue.
This morning she went to Swimmer
toms drug store at Maplewood and
Howard avenues and bought two
ounces Of carbolic acid. She was dis
covered by a member of the family
soon after she drank the poison. The
Emergency ambulance was called and
after prompt treatment DR.. Bennett
rushed the patient to ST. Vincent's hos
pital where Drs. McGovern and Lev
erty assisted in the attempt to re-
susitate the girl.
The Nelson family with whom the
girl boarded know very little about
her. She was very attractive and had
many admirers. 1t is not known
whether the suicidal act was the re-
suit of a love affair.
The girl died at 2:30 without regain
ing consciousness and in spite of the
efforts of the hospital surgeons to save
her life.

White-and-black
striped woolens.

For summer wear, there is
predicted a decided vogue
for white-and-black striped
stuffs. There is good rea-
son for that vogue. Such
stripes are pretty, and cool
looking, tasteful, and of
much service. They make
excellent dresses for wear at
shore or in country. They
make up into suitable cos
tunes for wear in town or
city. And they are not nee
essarily expensive.
Good collection has just
arrived at the store. On
white or cream grounds are
black stripes of various
widths. In some cases, the
stripe is but a narrow hair
line. In some instances,
there are graduated stripes.
Always, the effect is pleas
