MAYOR GAYN0R IS MAD
Striking Express Drivers Break
Agrecment-New York Mayor
Takes Hand i'm the Game.

New York.~-Thc striking express
drivers and helpers of Jersey City
have nullificd the agreement reach
cd early Friday morning between
the five transcontincntal companies.
That agreement was conditioned on
the consent of the Jersey men to
return to work and they refused.
The situation now reverts TO pre-
cisely the position it occupied be-
fore Mayor Gaynor took a hand in
the negoliatiOns--with the cXcep-
ton that the mayor is angry and
resolved to tempOrarize no longer.
They can reject the agreement II
they want to-" he said, but | beg to
say that a committee Of their own
selection came TO me voluntarily,
with no request of mine, and made
an honorable agreement. If the
men reject that honorable agree
ment, l shall teach them that ex-
press wagons can be run without
their help, even if we have to mar
every one of them with policemen"
Judge Coke, in the United States
circuit court, decided that all ex-

QUEER GRAWTATION FACTS
In Hardly Any Two Places VIII Body
Fall With Same. Speed-6earing
on Rifle Shooting.

A man falling from q three-story
building in New Orleans will not fall
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact, in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This Is because as we go to-
ward the equator the force OF gravita.
ton gets less, and consequently the &C.
CELEBRATION of a falling body becomes
less, and the force of impact is there
fore less.
While it does not make very much
difference in the injury to a person
falling from a height, it does make a
difference. in other things. Take a rifle
and fire it exactly horizontally, and II
the gun is Is feet above the ground,
say at New York, the bullet fired from
such a rife will strike the ground IN
exactly one second after it leaves the
rife. If the bullet has a horizontal We
locity of a thousand feet a second II
will strike the earth exactly 1000 feet
away. Let us take the same rifle to a
place where the force of gravity Is no'
the same as at New York, but a good
deal smaller, say t%wo-thirds smaller.
We find that If the gun is placed as
before and absolutely horizontal, the
bullet will not fall the 16 feet in one
second, but will take over n and a
half seconds to fall, thus enabling the
bullet to be in the air during that
length of sine. Therefore it will strike
the ground 1900 feet away. Thus 1t Is
seer that the range of a rife Is In
creased as it is taken toward the equa'
tor.
OF course there is no place on earth
where the force Of gravity is two
thirds smaller than at New York, but
there are many places where the diff
terence is considerable enough to az
feet slightly the range of rifles.-Har'
GERS Weekly.

DID SHE POISON HUSBAND?

With the Crime.

Wheeling, w. Vain a room in
the tower of the county Jail, fitted
up with a rocking chair and quilts
from her own palatial home, Mrs.
Laura Farnesworth Schenk is de-
tanned without privilege Of bail,
awaiting developments in the i'll
ness of her husband, John O..
Schenk, a millionaire pork packer.
Arrangement of Mrs. Schenk on
charges that she attempted to pois-
on her husband by putting arsenic
in his food and drinking water will
be delayed pending the outcome OF
his sickness. At the North Wheel
ing hospital he was reported as
slightly improved, but still critical
ly i'll. He suffers from high fever
and has a pulse of 124. Despite his
weakened condition the authorities
ventured to tell him Of the arrest
of Mrs. Schenk, but he is. said to
have only exclaimed her name,
and later remarked:
IF all these things are true she is
where she ought to be-"
That further arrests are to be
made in the case was added by
Prosecuting Attorney Handan and
Chief of Police Hastings. 1t is be-
loved the unnamed suspects are
expected to furnish light on the
manner in which arsenic or other
drug might have found its way into
the Schenk home.
At the jail Mrs. Schenk was ques-
tionedanew, but she repeatedly de-
clared her innocence of any attempt
upon her husbands life.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk is the

WOULD BE OF MORE VALUE
Father o'Leary's Facetious Rejoinder
to John Philpot Curran an Ex-
ample Of Real Wit.

One day the famous John Philpot
Curran, who was also very partial to
the said corned mutton, did me the
honor to meet him. To enjoy the so
ciety of such men was an intellectual
treat. They were great friends and
seemed to have a mutual respect for
each others talent, and, as It may
easily be imagined, O'Leary versus
Curran was no bad match.
One day after dinner Curran said to
him: Reverend father, I wish you
were St. Peter"
And why, counselor, would you wish
that 1 were st. Peter" asked
O'Leary.
Because, reverend father, in that
case" said Curran, you would have
the keys to heaven. and you could let
me in"
by my honor and conscience, coun-
selor," replied the divine. lit would be
better for you that I had the keys OF
the other place, then l could let you
out"
Curran enjoyed the joke. which he
admitted had a good deal Of justice in
it.-From Kelly's "reminiscences.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Gust about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning. was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tam
gled terribly because Of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was SO great
that, when partially awake. ! would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tps would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
q short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake I'D nearly wild with the torture.
