formed by the janitor that he looks after
the milk and fee. I have an excellent
milkman. and every one In the house
likes him. says the ianitor. OF course
you understand that I cannot distinguish

or trouble 20 look after different milk

The renter soon finds out" continued
Mr.. Hicks. If he sticks TO his old dealer.
that the janitor makes II pretty hard for
him to get his milk. Before long he gets
II from the milkman who was recon-
mended by the janitor. The tanitor makes
few dollars a month graft out OF the
milk supply. as much from the ice. which
comes into the house. and probably as
much more out Of the groceryman who
supplies the renters"
But the graft OF the janitors IS only a
drop in the bucket as compared with
that Of the stewards OF many clubs. The
wine merchant must pay him a percent
age. the butcher must yield tribute: IN
short. everything that comes into the club
via the steward route must AFFORD him a
rake-oh- This accounts for the fact that
many Of them soon get 10 be hotel pro-

II was necessary for the butcher 70 play

and he did not choose the latter ex-

But why complain about these people
when graft and corruption in high Offices

elected 70 their Offices because OF the con-
fdence the people placed IN their honesty,

virtues of Lafayette, a more protracted
career and happier earthly destinies were
reserved. Youth. health, fortune; the
favor OF the King; he gave them all for

Practically Unharmed.
DR.. FlTHlAN CALLED

Little Jennie Pico, six years old. of
AZ Smith street, Is one of the luck
lest children in the city. Several
times she has been the victim of ac-
cidents that would have killed ordi-
nary persons, but in each instance
she has managed to escape.
Only month ago she fell from a
second story window of her home.
Last night she was struck and run
over by motorcycle owned by
Charles Kay, of Camden, with the
result that she sustained a slight
scalp wound, requiring but a stitch
to draw together.
Today she Is playing again as
though nothing had happened. But
for bandage about her forehead
one would not know that only a few
hours ago she almost met death.
Jennie was playing in front of
her fathers fruit stand outside of
Joseph Klein's meat market, in
Smith street, shortly after 6 o'clock
last night. She attempted to cross
the street when Kay, running along
Smith street, attempted to avoid the
car track rut. In doing SO, he
struck Jennie. She was knocked
down and the wheel passed over her,
but withal, she sustained only q
slightly cut scalp.
DR.. G. w. Fithian attended the
child. She cried little when a
stitch was being taken In the wound,
but otherwise showed remarkable
bravery. This is the second scalp
wound she has sustained in the past
month.
The last accident happened when
the child pitched headlong from a
second-story window of her home to
the yard below. She picked herself
up after the fall. however, and
mounted the stairs again, none the
worse for her fall save a slight
scratch on the head.

HEALTH BOARD MAY

There is scheduled to be an ad-

Health tonight. to transact such bus
mess as may be in need of immedi-
ate attention. AS yet, the board is
without head and there are no
working committees. 1t is doubtful
that any action towards naming a
president and selecting committees
will be made tonight If a meeting is
held. This had been scheduled for
the last regular meeting, which was
to have been held last Tuesday.
Health board matters have been
sorely neglected since the disorgan-
ization of the board, caused by the
resignation of four of its members
s@ew ones have been named, but
progress has been handicapped by
the lack of Quorums on meeting
nights Justus Kaletsch, the for
mer member, who was recently re-
appointed, has not qualified as yet.

A SERIOUS SITUATION
SERIOUS SITUATION
Special BY United Press Wtrs.


West Point, N. Y, Sept. 27:-A
state of open rebellion exists today
In the United States Military Acad-
emy. Officers of West Point admit
they are facing serious situation,
for the cadet corps Is unit In the
rebellion. No man seems more
guilty than another and to expel one
means all would have to 60. The
situation Is such that Major Barry,
superintendent of the academy, re-
turned from Washington today to
take personal charge.
The "silence" affront given Cap
tain Sflas Longan in the mess hall
recently Is nothing compared to the
silence given the Military Board
of Inquiry, by the cadet corps, and
unless some weakened cadet
agrees to tell the board what caused
the insult to Captain Longan, the au-
thorities are face to face with the
necessity of court martialing the en-
tire corps for insubordination. the
most serious breech of military dis
cipline. When being examined by
the inquiry board the first class men
simply folded their arms and re-
fused to answer questions. 1t was
intimated today that the entire cadet
corps, $50 members, will be called,
one by one, before the board, which
will occupy two or three weeks. The
corps, however, will probably be
guided by the action of the first

DR.. SPURCfON WILL
Be HEARD TONIGHT

DR.. William Spurgeon arrived in
this city this morning. He is being
entertained at the home of the pas
tor of the First Baptist church, Rev.
William H. Bawden, in Gordon
street. Last Sunday Dr. Spurgeon
preached in Trenton; last evening
he lectured in Tottenville This
evening he will lecture in the First
Baptist church on "The Great Welsh
Revival"
This is an admirable theme with
which to Introduce the series of SER
vices each succeeding day for the
next ten days. The chorus, under
the direction of Ernest Hilsdorf, will
sing one or two songs from the
Winona hymnal, and quartet of
Welshmen, Messrs. John and Jona-
thon Roberts, Hughes and Perkins,
will sing some of the songs sung in
Wales during the great awakening
there several years ago.
DR.. Sturgeon was brought from
England under the exclusive control
of friend and chiefly for Chautau-
qua work. At various Chautauquas
all over the country he has been
lecturing all during the past sum-
mer, addressing thousands. He has
been paid the delicate compliment
of request for more lectures an
other season by those who have lis
tened to him. During the winter
months he Is giving himself to evan
gelistic work among the churches,
as well as lecturing where the oppor-
tunity may be afforded. Wherever
he has spoken the papers have been
highly enthusiastic in his praise;
superintendents of Chautauquas
have been unqualified in their ap-
probation; while his brother lectur-
ers and ministers have borne their
testimony to his charm as a fellow
worker.
All the Spurgeon meetings in this
city will be held in the First Baptist
church, In Fayette street, near High,
the afternoon meetings at 3:45, the
evening meetings at 7:45. An invi-
tation is extended to all.
