Heat Victim Who Trains

and Has Fits.

New York, June 6.-Christopher
Holsinger of Brooklyn. was vending
trained Holsters at Coney Island when
John P. Mccormick, state game
commission inspector came along and
observing that they were less than
the required nine inches long, hailed
the impresario and his flock off to
the Coney Island police station.
Holsinger was placed in a cell,
while the HOLSTERS, reposing in bas-
ket covered with burIap, were per-
mitted to rest in a corner not far from
the cell In a cell abaft the basement
and on the starboard side, slept Jer-

self bit, he peered out once more.
The Holsters were then crawling out
of the basket, led by big chap, who
raised his right claw ever and anon, as
signal. and were marching in Jere-
miah's direction.
| That settled it for Mccoy. He be-
gan screaming and dancing madly
around his cage. Lieut.. Donahue
heard the noise and sought to comfort
jeremiah but the latter's terror in
creased with his cries, to such an ex-
tent that Mrs. Boyle, the matron,
rushed out, and promptly rushed back
again. Two Holsters chased her into
her room.
McCoy's hysteria developed to such
a stage that a doctor had to be called
from the Coney island hospital. He
fixed Mccoy and put him to sleep. AT.

SAYS WIFE TALKED
TO SPIRIT WORLD
Masillon Man Declares His
Spouse Has Succeeded
After Eleven Years.

Massillon, O., June 6.-After hold
ing "sittings" for eleven years in an
effort to get communication with the
spirit world, Mrs. Daisy NJ. Burd, 35,
wife of Sylvester Burd, 60, wealthy
real estate dealer, has succeeded, ac-
cording to the statement of her hus-
band.
Burd says that since the death,
thirty years ago. of a little daughter,
by his first wife, he has been investi-
eating spiritualism. and is now con-
established with the spirit world.
Burd says that. for eleven years, his
wife invited messages from the spir-
it's. Three months ago. she first
heard from them. A pencil was plac-
ed in her hand. and she sat ready to
write. When the spirits finally pos
sessed her. he says his wife's hand
moved violently over the paper. The
marks were unintelligible, but as time
passed, they formed themselves into
letters. AS soon as Mrs. Burd comes
under complete control of the spirits,
her husbands says, she will not only
use the pencil and paper, but transmit
theim messages orally.
During the three months that Mrs.
Burd has been in communication with
the spirit world, Burd says his wife
talked with 1900 persons many of
whom were strangers. Some were old
residents of Masillion who had been
dead for many years.
One spirit that came, Burd says that
that of a former eccentric resident of
Massillon who was called Cheese
Fritz" In life he was supposed to
have been mentally weak. Burd said
Cheese Fritz" told him that when his
spirit left this plane, his mind became
perfect.
A message that covered two-and-one
half typewriter pages was received
from another man who died here ten
years ago. The spirit described heav.
en- as beautiful place where the spir.
its mingle with friends and relatives.

After December the first, Smyrna
will have but one hotel to serve the
interest of the travelling public.
The Smyrna House will be vacated
by Denney A. Goldsborough, who
will become manager of the Della
ware House. The old hostelrie will
in short while be torn down to
make way for Smyrna's new Federal
Building. We have never sanction
ed tearing down the Smyrna House
when so many other buildings in
town. could be better sacrificed, but
then the "powers that be" have
elected and acquired title to the old
hotel property on Main Street and
soon the new postofice will go up.
Be this it may, Smyrna need not
be discouraged over the fact that
we have but one hotel. If business
justifies, there is nothing to prevent
the building of new and modern
hostelrie. A sufficient aggregation
of capital can at any time erect q
hotel, while the acquiring of q
Federal Building is chance of q
life time. Let US hope that Smyrna
will prosper and grow and that th'
new S25, OO0 Federal Building will b.
followed by the erection of a modern
and up-to-date hotel. No meet

ROBERT =. HOFFECKER.
Editor and Business Manager.

In commenting upon the lack of
interest and disregard in the en-
forcement of our laws, especially
the local option law, the Middletown
Transcript pertinently says: "Urged
by the greed of money, political
pull and the interests of huge
corporations, are everywhere de-
feating the purposes of useful laws
passed for the protection of society.
Perhaps in not single State where
the experiment of Prohibition or
Local Option has been ATTEMPTED,
has it been given a fair trial upon
its merits, by reason of the failure
or inability of officers to enforce
its provisions. And this failure
is largely due to the apathy of
good citizens and the dishonesty of
bad ones-helped on by official con-
nivance, sometimes, alas, by the
Courts themselves. All this robs
the law of its usefulness and makes
its penalties an utter dead letter.
"Local option in Kent and Sussex
can be enforced if the county officers
and the courts so desire-the first
by vigorously ferreting out and
prosecuting, and the latter by afix-
ing something like adequate pen
alties. The 5000 fine of the two
Dover doctors for writing fake pre-
scriptions will stop up that big leak
---gSEE 1.he-zsdffAhe severity shown to
speakeasies and bootleggers, includ-
ing in both instances the Court s
promise of Jail sentences for the
next offenders, will result in such an
enforcement of that law as will
clearly show its high value to all
citizens. While the Transcript
wishes not to rejoice at the disgrace
fallen upon these two Dover doctors,
it does feel bound to say that any
man who would so debase the honor
able profession of medicine as tc
make it serve as panderer to low
appetites richly merits to feel the
lash of the law and the contempt Of
all citizens.
FINALLY, were the tone of the
State press generally as sound as il
ought to be, such a public sentiment
would be aroused as would coerct
county officials to do their Who'll,
duty and stamp out the vile bust
ness"
