some places they were got rid Of by
placing fish in the springs.
The drinking water used In the
house Is generally harmless, owing to
the practice of fltering the water
through a piece Of muslin, which is
done by the water carriers in filling
the pitchers. On the other hand. the
thirsty agricultural laborer is more
exposed to the danger. especially
when he drinks in the evening or dur.
ing the night.
The leeches generally attach them
selves inside the mouth, in the larynx
and oesophagus, but Mr.. NIasterman
is convinced they are killed as soon
as they reach the stomach. At any
rate no special SYMPTOMS have been re.
marked in the case Of persons who
have swallowed them entirely. When
the leeches are very numerous. and

three dozen on the same person, they

FLOWERS FOR CHIEF CROKER.
NO Better Fire Fighter" Hayes Says on
Twenty.fifth Anniversary.

Yesterday was the twenty-fifth ami
versary Of Chief Croker's appointment to
the Fire Department. When he reached
fire headquarters in the morning he
found his office banked with flowers.
There were floral offerings from Deputy
Chief Larkin. the Seventh division. the
fire laddies OF Staten Island and bat
talions throughout the city. One Of the
most striking was a huge set piece in
which was displayed picture Of Croker
as he appeared at the big oil fire in South
street several years ago.
Speeches were made by some Of Chief
Croker's colleagues. Fire Commissioner
HAYES concluded his talk by saying:
while there have been personal diff.
ferences between the chief and myself
at times, III take my hat OF to Croker as

sIvye t9 nno ois hpkin dno naVc u e1-
Many neighbors who also had bought
the wood joined Mrs. Salsburg. At ii
Pitt street all the families on tho top hoor
had bought some Of the frewood. These
families compared notes, and as q result
the stairway became ologged. In the
greatest crush Miss Rachel Morowitz
got jammed between two Of the Kaplau
girls and suffered a faintness.
The street disturbances led to an in
vestigation. 1t was found out first Of all
that Mr.. Hamilton had built the plat
form and therefore would know about
the quality Of the wood. When Mr.
Hamilton was summoned to his home
telephone 1t was promptly learned that
somebody had given the waste to push
cart man who asked for 1t; and (b) that
in obedience to the fire laws all the wood,
before bit Of IL was cut to 60 into the
building OF the platform, had been flre-
proofed. Mr.. Hamilton said last night
that he had tested the fireproofng
preparation before building the Garden
then thrusting the lath into furnace
at his shops. After an hour or two Of i'm
mersion in the furnace the lath was
withdrawn from tho furnace and found
to be entirely uncooked.
Now, whether or not Sig Rfpkin knew
that he was selling fireproof firewood
to the East Side yesterday perhaps never
will be known. Ginger MoGinness said
last night that he might be quoted as
saying that Sig did know the kindlings
were fireproof, but he offered no proof
for the statement. Mr. Ripkin has gone
away. some say to East New York, while
others insist that he was last seen hurry
ing through Brownsville with large tin
can tied to him. But as Ginger McGinness
said truly last night, If Sig Riphin has q
heart at all his must have been a sleepless
night last night. for as he tossed on his
pillow before him must have come, like
gaunt speotres out OF the darkness and the
night, narrowing pictures OF suffering
men and women and little children who
all day yesterday and all through the
night had not fire to keep them warm.

The reason of the continued success OF

in their superior knowledge of and more

Anne Crivener. the heroine Of Mrs. Alice
Perrin's story -Idolatry.' is quoted as
an example OF woman's power in this
particular: "She is selfish, ambitious
heart ignorant-in fact a natural woman.
The truest incident in the story is the
continuance OF her soldier fance's
devotion after she has mercilessly ex-
posed him to the pettiness the insin-
cerity OF her disposition. OF course he

1T is beginning to be appreciated in this
age that knowledge of the proper care
OF the child does not come by intuition
and that maternal instinct, no matter
how strong, is not a safe guide. Miss
Wheeler herself believes that the fact
that maternity in these days is often
anticipated with a deplorable dread is
due not to the selfishness OF the modern
woman but to her realization Of her own
