brass band accompanied Lieutenant
Governor Louis A. rockingham and
other candidates on the Republican
State ticket, which he heads. through
the Northern Berkshires yesterday,
and each interruption attempted by
the s~uffragettes who followed the party
was quieted by an outburst of melody
from the bands. At Adams, Williams

rockingham held rallies Miss Mar

manded an answer from Candidate
rockingham as to his attitude toward
woman suffrage. She denied that she

publicans. Miss Foley declared that
the suffragettes are paying their own

in PRISONERS
TERMS is FOUND OUT
AFTER TWO-YEAR LAPSE.
Friendship Leads Safe Blowing
Pal to Serve Time for
COmrade.

ALBANY, Oct. 11.-By swapping
names in the Tombs, Benjamin Frank
and William GRADER, New York east
side pals, were able to exchange SEN
fences when they reached Sing sing
and for friendships sake one of the
men was willing to serve the longer
term of the other.
The exchange held good after a
transfer to Clinton prison, and nobody
would have been the wiser, although
the masquerade began two years ago,
had not a prisoner from Clinton, VINO
heard there of the affair, thought 1t
too good to keep to himself. His tattlins
brought it to the ears of the prison
authorities, who investigated 1t, and
yesterday did all they could to
straighten out the mix-up.
Frank Grnber n W others were
caught blowing open a safe at 6 First
avenue on the night of January ~,
1909. The police reported them as old
offenders. In the heat of the contro-
versy at that time between Police Com
missioner Bingham and District Attor-
ney Jerome the prisoners contrived to
plead as first offenders. Justice Grain
found degrees of guilt and sentenced
Frank to a term of five years and
GRADER for one year and ten months.
Police index records were, of course,
included In the trade of names. NO
body in Sing Sing seemed to notice
that the Bertillon measurements OF the
two men were mis1ts.
Investigation by the prison authori-
ties led Frank and GRADER to admit the
deal in the Tombs. The only ourse
for the investigators was to undo the
swap and put themselves on record
to the effect that it is easy to do the
trick. They also ordered Graders re-
lease. Frank must serve his full term.

SECRET
OUT! HIS SITE IS
REFUSED; PEEvEO
That Is Reason Why He Turned
Against Organization,
IT'S Said.

Just whv Thomas A. Boyle. leader OF
the sixth ward Democratic forces,
turned against the regular organlza-
ton in the recent primaries has come
out in connection with h stories OF
alleged improperly on the part OF Al
derman Frederick j. Fischer, chairmts1
of the building committee, in soliciting
bonding business from bidding con-
tractors.
The story goes back to the time when
the building committee a h power
10 pick sites for police and fire pur-
poses, and when Mr.. Boyle was the
political suonsor for Mr.. Fischer.
In February the council was plan
ming to buy a site for the central fire
station, and Mr.. Boyle had a lot to sell
at Plane and Camfeld streets. But the
power to select the site was suddenly
transferred from Mr.. Flscher's COM
mittee and vested in the finance COM
mittee, and a site was bought on the
north side of Academy street, between
Plane and Washington streets, at a
saving of s25, 900 to 100000.
It was not long after that Mr.. Boyle
announced his intention to fight the
organization. and admitted that in not
selling the Plane street site he had
lost $12,0 00.
The improperly charged against Mr..
Fischer is soliciting bonding business
from contractors who intended to bid
on contracts which his committee a
the power to award. Mr.. Fischer says
he is paid on a straight salary bass
and did not profit by the business he
got In this manner. He claims, further
more, that he did not authorize the

SERVANTS AND PRIVILEGES
The Woman Who Allows Her Maid
Too Many Liberties

Mrs. Pierpont. for the first time in
her life, stood upon the threshold of
a domestic crisis. Maggie Byrne was
going to leave. Maggie. whom she
had as much inherited from her
mother as the family silver or the
LOwestoft tea set. Now, having
grown old in service. Maggie. was

Mrs. Pierpont had never but once
entered an agency. and that once was
with a friend. The memory OF it
even now made her shudder.
No. she certainly never would brave
an intelligence office again In de-
spair she opened an evening paper and
turned to the advertising page Now

desire chimes in with chance. Else

WONDERS OF PACK OF CARDS.

Let us suppose that two thousand
millions of human beings-each sup
piled with a pack of cards-were To
attempt actually to produce every pos

says the May Strand. It is further
10 be supposed that they work from
years end To years end at the rate
of one new arrangement per second
for each person during a period of one
hundred thousand years. one single
thousand takes us back to the remote
DAYS of King Alfred. and To go back
to the birth of Christ requires less
than another thousand. Only about
three thousand two hundred years
have elapsed since Moses led the
Israelites out of Egypt. Finally. a
period only one-fifteenth of our hun
dred thousand years takes us back
a great way beyond the most remote
fact Of authentic history.
The hypothesis from which we start
is therefore that a population one
quarter more than that which now
exists has spent its whole time during
an interval more than 80 times the
duration of the Christian era in
shuffling cards at the rate of one
shuttle per second. or more than
thrty-one million shuffles per head
in each year.
In view of such figures the reader
may well ask how many times the
total number of arrangements viii

DUTCH HOUSE NAMES.

In few of the affairs Of life does the
American display such lack of origi-
nality as in the choice Of a name for
his house. Often enough il would
seem that he does not choose a name
at all. but meekly accepts the desig
nation an unimaginative representative
of the city government places above
his dOor-a number.
In Holland they do this thing much
better. Many of the Dutch bestow
names on their homes. Here are
few of the examples, translated: our
COntentment." JOY and Peace" "Leis-
ure and Happiness. My Desire Is
Satisfied. Friends and Quiet" MY
Wife and L." and Not So Bad" To
say the least any one of these would
seem to indicate the genuine sentiment
of the householder more than can
possibly be expressed by the numbers
given American houses.

amount of sustained Though ill-di-
rectcdJ human effort
The answer is, not once.
Mathematical calculation proves. in
feet. that the number of card arrange
ments produced under the conditions
assumed will only be a minute frac-
ton of the total possible number-a
necessary to devise another scheme Of
concrete representation in order To
give an idea of its minuteness.
Let it therefore be further as
sumed that the whole vast number Of
arrangements produced by the human
race as above is symbolized by one
drop of water. Then how much water
would be required to symbolic the to-
tai number possible? If this question

COST OF SICKNESS ENORMOUS
Hundreds of Millions Lost Annually
by American Wage
Earnera

Notwithstanding the great advances
made in preventive medicine and sanitary
science, 1t is likely that most people still
regard sickness as a visitation OF Provi-
dence and something to be endured rather
than to be cured. Informed persons Of
course know that typhoid and other dis
eases can be prevented by sanitation, and
effective work is being done in this way
against the great white plague itself, but
few are aware OF the tremendous money
loss annually through preventable disease.
The interchangeable Germans have the
problem reduced statistically to fractions
Of lives and to "pfennige." and q be-
ginning has been made in America in the
work of collecting information to indicate
the exact extent and character Of the
warranted by European experience is that
in an industrial population Of the age OF
Is and over, with two males for one fe-
male there will be fifty cases of disabl-
ity per annum for each 100 persons EN-
ployed OF these fifty cases five viii re-
suit from accidents. Reduced 10 other
terms, this means, approximately 1000
days per annum of disability, or ten days
per employee. The city OF Leipsig has for
many years collected disability statistics,
and these show further that the number
OF days OF sickness per employe increases
with age. For ages under is the average
disability Is about six days. and this in
creases to 96 per days at ages 1888,
twenty-one days at ages 6O-6l and forty
days at ages over rs.
A conservative estimate OF the wage
earners in America in 1910, Is years OF
age and over of both sexes, is 49, 900,
and OF this number at least 10 per cent
may be assumed 90 experience during the
year some disability from sickness or &C
cident which will prevent the unfortunate
from working. This means that during
each year there will be IS, 10000 cases OF
disability. The German statistics show
an average period OF disability of s5 DAYS
and in view of the poorer sanitary con
dltions in this country It is perfectly safe
to assume that average in America This
would give US, on the basis of Is 10000
disabled. approximately 2s4. 10000 days lost
annually by American wage earners rs
timating the average wage at $50 per
day. We have a direct loss in wages OF
approximately S42s, 10000 annually.
Another loss to be taken into considera-
ton is what the sick ones must pay for
medicine and physicians attendance, and
this could hardly be less than 81 per day.
This means over s2s4, 10000 annually. stil
another loss, based on the assumption that
sickness will reduce the value OF OUTPUT
at least 50 cents per day. is over tl42 900 0O
annually. Adding the three losses to-
gether we have an annual drain on in
dustry from sickness OF over $4,000 900.

tion does not command the cooperation
Of all enlightened people IN reducing the
amount OF preventable sickness, certainly
the economic loss should be Impressive
