w A. Spinlls, one of the worlds best
billiardists, was in the city yesterday
from his ranch. He discussed billiard
affairs at length and was no little
amused to hear that DeOro, the pool
king. had issued a sweeping def to the
world for a three-cushion billiard match
for $2000 He thinks, like others who
know the game, that DeOro would
make money by keeping in his own
line. Spinks returns to his home to-
day, but will attend the exhibitions

Stevens for Jack Gleason, and fearing
Long might want some cash to boot,

answering the question as to how
she, the possessor of a title, with GER

situation of being the wife of a Can

Lady Laurier paid not the slightest

Pittsburg.-The sand beds in the
Aspinwall filtration plant here are
clogged so by microbes, which look
like sections of gaspipe equipped with
legs, that the water cannot get
through the sand, and there is dam
ger of a water famine on q micrObe
basis. One of the peculiar features
of this newly discovered germ that is
puzzling psychologists not only mere
but in other cities, is that 1t seeming
ly has no head. Neither has 1t a tail
to wag. 1t is equipped, however,
with many flexible legs and seems to
know what it is doing all the time.
Opinion is expressed here that the
germs originated in the mining re-
gions near B~lairsville, thirty miles
from the filtration beds, and immedi-
ately proceeded to swim down stream
to inspect the Pittsburg water system.
They liked the filtration beds SO well
that they decided to camp out there,
until now there is a layer OF multi
legged gaspipe germs on the sand
beds that Is so thick that little water
can get through the sand and into the
mains.
The situation has become so bad
the city officials are much worried.
Their worriment is increased by the
fact that no one seems to know
whether it is a malignant or a harm
less germ. The fact remains, how
ever, that the city water is so full OF
flexible legs that it tickles the throats
of those who drink it. Another dis
quieting feature is that boiling the
water does not kill the germ. It
wiggles it's flexible legs a little faster
and gets red in the body, but does not
die as a result of the boiling process.

Souvenir Hunters.

The report that the record Of
Goethe's birth had been cut from the
municipal record at Frankfort-on-the-
Main by a vandal recalls a similar
theft in the same city a few years ago.
A party of young women were being
escorted through the old Goethe
house by the official guide. On the
top floor of the quaint house the chief
object of interest is the miniature
stage which Goethe had painted and
erected when a boy. The guide
droned off the story, the girls "ah'd!"
and the return trip was begun, when
the guide, looking about, saw a frag-
ment Of the sacred scenery or the
floor, where 1t had undoubtedly fallen
from the nervous hand of the vanda1.
The whole party was detained for ex-
amiation, but the souvenir fiend was
not discovered.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Speer's Unusual Will,

The will of Alfred Speer, the "fa-
ther of P~assaic," filed in the Surro-
gates Office at Paterson, begins as
follows: This is the 31st day Of
March, 1906. I am in my room alone
and writing this my last will and
testament, so there is no one to in
f1uence, undue or otherwise. 1 shall
have 1t typewriter, then read it over
carefully, after which have three
witnesses to see me read it owe again

trouble or litigation after my death.
/ have good reasons (not necessary
to mention, because it is my business
only, but my will is more favorable
to some than to others. / am in my

to the contrary" The estate of Mr..
Speer was valued at 100000, and
both real and personal is divided
among his surviving relatives. He
also left twenty shares of the Speer

all at sea. They do not know what
the germ is, and have discovered no
way to deal with it. Pending further
enlightenment from one of the many
eminent scientists who are at work
trying to classify the germ, it is
known here as the Aspinwall what
is-it?
1t was by accident the presence of
the new germ in the Pittsburg water
was discovered. Analysis had re-
vealed SO many different sorts OF
germs that it was thought the supply
was exhausted. Therefore, when the
germ resembling a cross between a
section of gas pipe and a centipede
was revealed, 1t could not pass un-
noticed, particularly when it was dis
covered it was eating other germs,
although it seemingly had no mouth.
DR.. C. S. Drake, superintendent of
the filtration beds, and w. U. c. Ba-
ton, the city chemist, worked ener-
getically to ascertain the identity of
the new germs. They are wholly I'M
communicative. Samples of the
germs were taken to E. E. Lampher,
acting superintendent of the Water
Bureau. He put them in bottles and
sent them to Professor Mason, of the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute in
Troy, N. Y. Other scientists of ma
tional or international reputation
also received samples.
The reports received were far from
satisfactory. The psychologists say
they never had seen anything like it.
and that it is an entirely new germ,
and that they have no idea what its
disease-producing speciality is. Sam
pies of the germ may be sent to
scientific centres in Europe in the
hope the mystery will be fathomed.
