Good Soldier Gets Reward.

A soldier at Aldershot, not having
had much time in which to dress for
parade, ~contented himself by only
cleaning the front Of his boots. One
of his chums, noticing this, said:
why don't you clean the back Of
your boots, Benz
"A good soldier never looks bs.
hind" he replied.
AS a result of his carelessness the
adjutant awarded Ben three extra pa
rades.
A few days afterward his chum
again remarked:
II thought a good soldier never
looked behind, Benz"
NO." said Ben. but the adjutant
did"

CLARK MEASURE
To PREVENT MANY
BALLOT CONTESTS
Will Obviate Recurrence of lnCia
dent Like that of Schaaf
and Fischer.

Assemblyman John. F. Clark's bill,
which passed the House on Tuesday
night. amending the election laws re-
garding marked ballots, is designed to
prevent the recurrence of the difficulty
which arose at the election last fall,
when. on a recount. Frederick j. Fisher
was elected alderman from the Sixth
ward over Rudolph Schaaf.
When the second count of the votes
was taken it was found that a sufficient
number to defeat Sehaaf had his name
misspelled The court held that the err
ror made the ballots marked ballots,
and therefore void The error consisted
of the omission of the "r' in the cam
didate's first name, and. although the
ballots bore the facsimile of the county
clerks signature on the back. they were
thrown out.
The new bill provides that where such
a fac-simile is attached no Typographical
error shall make 2 ballot marked
The error must not necessarily be one
of incorrect spelling alone. but n that
will make the ballot different from that
prescribed by law.
In speaking for the bill on Tuesday,
Mr.. CLARK said that the measure was
entirely non-partisan, as a mistake OF
the kind was liable to c in any
party ballot. and should not be counted
against the candidate where it could be
shown that the county clerk had APP
proved.

POOR WOMEN WORKERS
AFFECTED BY TARIFF.
Price of Thread Kept Up by
Protected Makers.

Tb ough the operation of the protec-
tive tariff a spool of thread made in
Newark is sold in this country for just
twice as much as a similar article
brings in England. What this means
to poor seamstresses and others who
make a livelihood by working with a
needle is pointed II by Miss Ida M.
Tarbell in the March American Mag
azine. On the subject Miss TarbeI
says of the working woman
"She must have thread. Spool cotton
is as necessary an article of daily con-
sumption in the household as fuel or
cloth. Many women with families, on
$500 a year, many shop and factory
firls ON Sc or SIS a week, make their
own clothes. Not infrequently these
women In their work are Obliged, when
not protected by a union, to furnish
their own thread. Miss Ainslee found
one cap-worker in New York last year
spending an average of rs cents a week
for thread for her work out of an aver
age wage of So a week. NFor many
years the price of the ordinary 2o0-yard
spool cotton had been 5 cents. twelve
spools for SO cents, when suddenly in
1900 il was advanced to 6 cents, about
double the price 1t was selling for in
England. The cause of the advance
offers one of the incest studies we have
of the beneicent effects on prices of a
tariff combined with a trust"

BREEZY WEATHER
BRINGS CROWD To
THE AUTO SHOW
Last Chance to See the Fine
Exhibits Will Be Afforded
Tomorrow.
REPORT SALES
BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
All Agree that as a Business
Proposition 1t Is a Big
Success. /,

Good weather brought a throng to the
local auto show today and yesterday.
and much business vas reported as a
consequence. Up to last night the sales
aggregated seventy cars, while the pros
poets point to a round hundred before
the end of the exhibit tomorrow night.
T. L. C. Martin, the state agent for the
Mitchell line, announced that he had
closed six contracts outright and was
sure of at least twenty before Saturday
night.
Mr.. Martin said that one sub-agent
alone was certain of twenty sales as a
result of the show, and he expected to
close half of these by tomorrow.
The demand for the moderate-priced
cars is phenomenal, n the various
agents are booking many orders. l.. j..
Wyckoff, of the Essex Auto Company,
sold ten Ford cars to m Sub-agent
yesterday, while his individual sales
amounted to thirteen cars last night.
Mr.. Wyckoff expects to increase this to
twenty.
There is not a dissatisfied agent at
the show today, for those who have not
made sales report that they have so
many good prospects that they are sure
of closing them later. They attribute
their success to their exhibits at the
show.

Christian Science Too Extreme,
Declares the Reb. Henry K. Rose
Speaks on Emmanuel Movement
at Home of Mrs. Henry
Van Arsdale.

The tenets of the Emanuel Move
ment. now uppermost in the minds of
many men. both secular and religious,
formed the basis of a lecture today, by
the Rev Henry R. Rose, pastor of the
Church of the .Reedeemer at the home
of Mrs. Henry Van Arsdale, A Avon
avenue.
Mr.. Rose, in speaking of mental sug-
gestion. as a cure for mental ills. did
not agree with the Christian Science
belief that the mind could cure all dis
eases. nor did he agree with the eN-
ponents of the New Thought theory.
He called them the extremes. MIR.
Rose laid special emphasis on the power
of the mind of Christ, and told his
hearers ito let that mind be in you that
was in Christ"
The speaker said that there was no
doubt. but thai the mind caused GER
tain pains and diseases and deduced
from that, that whatever the mind
could cause, it could also cure. That,
he said. IS the Keystone of the Emanuel
belief.

EXPERT FORGERs
AFTER MILLIONS
CAUGHT ABROAD
Scheme to Swindle American
Express Co. by Wayhpf
Europe Is Baked.

NEW YORK Feb. 26.-Two Of the
men arrested in Milan, Italy, in con-
neetion with an attempt to swindle the
American Express Company out of sp-
proximatelv 80. 400, 900 by means of
forged checks are Frank Folina and
Orphee Orlgoni, both well known to the
police here. Origoni. who is reported
as denying completely in the conspiracy,
is described as "of a good Italian fam
lily" This is amply confirmed by the
extensive records in headquarters from
which it appears Beyond a reasonable
doubt that he is none other han the
Count Orphee Origoni, once a captain
in the Italian army and more recently
in the employ of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company of New York.
Frank Folina is one of the most ac-
complished professional forgers of re-
cent times. His record as d. skilful and
daring "penman" is familiar to the po-
lice alike of Europe and America, who
have been looking for him, as well as
FOR the Count Origoni. for many months.
With the arrest of both and of two of
their comrades. Inspectors McCafferty
believes there has been broken up a
band of criminals whose sphere was in
ternational in scope.
The bold attempt to victimize the
American Express Company. the police
say, is undoubtedly the work of the
same band which about a year ago
undertook to rob c. y. Richard & Co,
bankers and shipping agents. of 81
Broadway. of nearly 100000 by means
Of q series Of eXpertly forged letters of
credit, many Of which were presented
almost simultaneously in prominent
banks in France, England, Italy, Bel.
GUM. Germany and Holland. The
amount actually realized by that
swindle was about $4,000.
