A Syrian Peasant Superstition.

A lawsuit for libel brought by an
apothecary in Pollau, in Syria, against
q young peasant reveals an extraordi-
nary superstition prevalent among the
country people They believe that
apothecaries and doctors have the
right to kill at least one man and one
woman every year In order to make
medicines out of their bodies. An ac
cidental movement of the apothecary
at Pollau, Herr Kobermauser, when
giving medicine to a boy named Putt
led the latter to believe he was going
to be killed. He ran away, but got
such fright that he fell ILL., The in
habitants believed his story and boy
cotted the apothecary, who was at
length compelled to prosecute. Putt
was sentenced to fourteen days i'm
prisonment, but his parents, who had
spread the story, were acquitted on
the ground that they had acted in
good faith.-LondOn Standard

HAUL DOWN UNCLE SANS FLAG
Display Of Old Glory at Recruiting Sta
ton Not Lawful in Denver

Mayor Speer has compelled Captain
Hayes, of the United States Marine
Corps recruiting station at Denver,
Colo, to haul down his flag.
The Captain has been flying two of
them from the second story window
of the block in which is the recruiting
station. This is violation of city
ordinance and the Mayor called the
attention of the Captain to the matter
when it was reported to him.
Captain Hayes replied that the
United States flag was not amenable
to city ordinance. The Mayor then
notified him that unless he hauled in
his flags the police would do it and
would then arrest and arraign him i'm
the police court.
The Captain hauled in the flags and
appealed to Washington to deal with
the Mayor.

SAM NEEDS ENGINEERS
For First Time in History Of Military
Academy Corps is Untitled

For the first time since the tounda-
ton of the Military Academy. the
Engineer Corps of the Army has this
year failed to secure from among
the graduates of that institution a
sufficient number of young men to
fill the existing vacancies in the
corps.
1t has been the rule that the bows
who graduated with the highest
honors at West Point have chosen to
enter the engineer corps rather
than any other branch of the mill
tary service. But this year so heavy
were the demands of every other
branch that the War Department de-
cided that it could not in fairness al
low the engineer corps to fill its quota
by selection from among the gradu-
ates.
The consequence is that it is now
found necessary to admit no less than
ten civilians to this select corps, and
the Department is preparing the
stiffest sort of an entrance examine
tion to which the candidates will be
subjected.

Wild Parrots Are Eiahters.

Parrots when in their native wilds
live in focks and guard themselves by
a complete police system which en-
ables them to marshal their collective
force quickly when any animal or bird
attacks one of their number. They
seem to be disciplined and trained in
fighting together, and all other birds
and animals are afraid to attack a
parrot unless the bird can be caught
alone. Even then a shrill call sum
mons the parrot army to the rescue.
1t is said that in the forests all par
rots die of old age and that none is
ever killed by birds of prey or other
wild animals.

of the Poor May Hit

WORDING OF MEASURE
PERPLEXENG TO MANY.
Places Department Under the
Jurisdiction of State Prison
Reform Association.

Joseph NJ. Byers, secretary of the
State Charities Aid and Prison Reform
Association, has sent letters to all the
municipal governing bodies of the
State notifying them that under the
terms of the Osborne law, passed at
the last session of the Legislature, it is
their duty at their next organization
meeting to appoint for a term of five
years an overseer of the poor In their
respective communities.
This means that, as the State Char
titles Aid and Prison Reform Associa-
ton interprets the act, Overseer of the
Poor William A. Baldwin, of this city,
will be legisiated out of office along
with others holding similar positions.
That Is was the intention of the back
ers Of the act to have this done is
intimated, but that the language of the
act will bear the construction placed
upon 1t Is believed doubtful. Follow
Inc is what that section of the law
says:
"Overseers of the poor shall be ap-
pointed by the municipal governing
body at the first annual meeting after
the passage of this act and shall hold
office for Ave years. providing that the
term of office hereby fixed shall not
repeal any existing statute providing
for a longer term; they may be re-
moved by such governing body for
misconduct or incompetency upon writ
ten charges, and after hearing, due
notice of which shall be given to such
overseers in all municipalities having
less than $4,000 Inhabitants
Would that section mean, In the
view of a court being asked to pass
upon it, that the overseer of the poor
in all municipalities are legislated out
of office. or does 1t apply just to those
in municipalities having less than 25.-

AOR 7 ON IS
HELD FOR
BAD CHECK
Shute, Arrested With
Him, Released on
Forgery Charge.

A further blow to the high finance
career of John Alfred Horton was dealt
today. when Judge Hahn in the First
Precinct Court held him in $4,000 bail
on charge of passing worthless
checks.
George Shute, Of Springfield, ILL.,, who
was said to have been interested with
him in n concern known as Shute q
Company, with Offices at 1872 Market
street, and who was arrested on the
charge Of forging the checks, was re-
leased.
The two arrests were made on com
plant of Arthur c. Schroeder. who
says that he gave them his note for
$500, accepting as collateral a note for
that amount. which proved to be
forged. The police say that several
notes for amounts ranging from 5000
to $500 were eashed by Horton. One
was accepted by Abraham Metzger,
OF 46 Stanley avenue.
The purported business of Shute &
Co. was promoting the manufacture of
silicate brick. Several complaints were
made to the police. and when they
learned that a check presented to a
bank after David Welt, a saloon keeper
of 200 Washington street, ad eashed
it had been returned, the. made the
arrests. The check was made out by
Horton and indorsed by Shute.
Colonel Shute father of the man who
was released, is said to have left town
several months ago after starting the
firm.

TRENTON. June Accommodating
upon the defeat of commission gov
ernment in New Brunswick and Ho-
boken. Governor Wilson said that the
result was not at all sur
prising. He said: 'The campaign
was very brief one. Perhaps
1t was no doubt a new one to a
large proportion of the voters. and it
is not to lbe wondered at that funda-
mental changes of this sort should re-
quire time to accomplish.
Friends of the commission form of
government now know exactly what
they have to contend with" said
the Governor. Il cannot but re-
gard 1t as very unfortunate that the
men responsible for the official organi-
zation of the two great parties should
have shown themselves opposed to this
great measure, Undoubtedly intended
to place In the hands of the people the
power to control their own govern
ment. / am afraid that in the long
run this opposition on their part will
be very hurtful to their influence and
reputation. They will find that as
opinion grows clear and strong on this
subject 1t will begin to be felt that
they acted in their own interest and
not in the interest of the people,"
This line up is extremely instructive
and also very serviceable. 1t shows
just what work remains to be done and
Just how to do it. There is only ons
instrument of effective self govern
ment, and that is the instrument CT
public opinion, and that once de-
clared, everything viii be simplified
and the friends of commission govern
nent have no need TO be anxious about
the ultimate verdict of the voters Of
our cities"
