the first menhirs, and uncle just about
went into a At. They are the most
curious things / ever saw, for they
stand in parallel rows miles long and
every one is resting on its little end
and has been resting on its little end
for thousands of years. At the first
glance uncle said they were arranged
so just for tourists; but he got out
and walked around them and tried to
shake one or two, and then he said
he wouldn't have missed seeing them
for the world and that he should never
regret coming to Europe as long as he
might live hereafter. He was perfect.
ly lovely for a while after that, and
we looked at dolmens and cromlechs
the whole afternoon, and sometimes
we thought they were hay-mows when
we saw them far ahead and some
times we thought they were houses.
We only had one unfortunate time,
and that was when we had to ferry
over the Crach. The ferry was on the
other side, and that upset uncle right
away, and he asked me II my exper-
ience had ever led me to ferry that
was not on the other side. They took
nearly half an hour to bring 1t across,
and uncle said that 1t would be q
great day for Europe If she ever
learned what time spelt, and he
looked at me as II were Europe
while he said It. They are building a
bridge over the Crach, and as soon as
we embarked on the rickety old ferry,
1t blew in between two Of the piers
and wedged tight, with US on 1t. Un-
Gle asked me il was going to have
the face to tell him that we were not

there indefinitely, and really didn't
know what to answer. The men In

Consumption is primarily a poor

son of New York city says: Roughly
speaking, the incipient tuberculosis pa

The percentage Of deaths from con-
sumption among the poor is 100 per
cent. higher than among the well-to-do

the consumptives in the United States
are too poor to provide proper means

placed in a sanitarium or q hospital
where they can be cured Of their dis
ease and where they will be removed

SOON CLOSE
HAMS TRIAL
Army Officers Swear that
the Captain Always Ap-
peared Sane TO Them.
THE CLOSING ADDRESSES

Flushing, N. Y, May THE trial Of
Captain Peter @. Hams, Jr., for the
murder of William II. Annis is near an
end. and little remains but the closing
addresses Of counsel before Judge
Garretson will give the case to the
Jury.
The rebuttal witnesses for the state
were principally army officers who had
been stationed at Fort Hamilton and
Fort Hancock during June, July and
August, 1908, and had met and talked
with Captain Hains at that time They
swore that he always appeared sane
and rational.
Lieutenant Wilfred Hawkins and
Captain Torney declared that when
they met Captain Hams on Aug - or
18, a day or two before the shooting,
the captain told them that he intended
to report for duty in a few days and
was only waiting for his uniform.
DIR. Jarrett, an army surgeon, testi-
fed that he met Captain Hams on May
81, 1908, in front of the captains house
at Fort Hamilton. That was the day
after Captain Hams returned from the
Philippines. His wife had just made
her confession to the captain on that
day.
''I shook hands with him and re-
marked that was glad to see him
looking so WELL" said the witness.
"He said. DO you think SOP and in
troduced me to his brother Thornton"
The witness said he noticed no IRA
tionality on the part Of the captain at
that time. Hams seemed quite calm.
Lieutenant Andrus testified that In
June, July and August, 1908, he met
Captain Hams at Fort Hamilton. He
saw Captain Hams the day after he
returned from the Philippines and
talked with him and noticed nothing
irrational in his conduct.

G.K. SEAMAN QUITS
SHADE TREE BOARD
Mayor Receives
Resignation Of
One Member.
OTHERS LIKELY

Charles X. Seaman has rendered
his resignation to Mayor Bollschweils
er as a member of the Shade Tree
Commission and 1t has been accepted.
The mayor said this morning that hd
received Mr.. Seamans letter Wednea-
day night and that he was consider
ing the appointment of his successor.
Just what Mr.. Seaman's reasons
were for resigning are not known,
and when seen by a NEWS reporter
the former commissioner said that he
did not care to make any statement.
Mr.. Seaman's letter TO Mr. Bollsch-
weller set forth the reasons clearly
and we're entirely satisfactory to the
mayor.
The resignation Of Mr.. Seaman
leaves Matt Weirup and James @,
Rossi as the only members in the
board and 1t is deemed likely that
they too may resign, in which event
the mayor would have to appoint an
entirely new board, instead of only
one member in Mr.. Seaman's stead.
The Shade Tree Commission was
appointed several months ago but,
for some reason, did not get together
and as result nothing has been aca
complished.

Although the dance hall evil was
brought up for discussion at last

Of Excise Commissioners nobody was
punished for holding balls in rooms

regarding his visit to a few places in

He spoke forcibly upon the abuse of
halls run in connection with saloons
and said that they were often the
scenes of free dances, where young
people, particularly girls, some not
Older than fourteen years, congregat-

nuisances to the police and that 1t
was the boards duty to do away with
them. He ridiculed the suggestion
that the board could pass an ordi-
nance giving power to revoke licenses
of lawless and undesirable saloon
keepers.
The president told of his visit to
Kisko's place ON the night he made
his tour of inspection. He said that
there were evidences that a dance
had been held shortly before he ar
rived, and said that musicians were
in the saloon. He told of being es-
corted by policeman to Zaremba s
