PoLYDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question-Please give me a reading.
This is the third time I have sent to
you, and, SO, you may know that I arr
anxious. KATIE G.
Answer-Your pointed finger tips in
dictate an idealistic, dreamy sort of
disposition. the effect Of which is
greatly heightened by a long, dropping
branch from the Head line toward the
Mount of the Moon.
There Is also a marking at the end
of this branch line which shows that
you should not indulge too much any
flights OF imagination, as the result
might prove serious. A confrmatory
sign to this effect is in the nature of
another star near the Life line at the
flfty-ffth year or whereabouts.
You need not feel any alarm about
the markings. however. They merely
indicate thai there would be danger 10
your mind and health unless you
curbed the tendency upon which the
reading is based. In what way you
indulge the flights of imagination
which may become so menacing. you
will know best, and now that you are
aware of the danger with which the
tendency is fraught there is no doubt
you will no longer indulge 1t.
Question: send you Impressions Of
! my hands. Please read the e Tor
me. A friend OF rnine looked at my
hands not long ago and told me that
my time was short and that the end
would be sudden. l do not worry
about 1t, but / look for my end every
day. BLUE EYES.
A~nswer-It was most inconsiderate
and thoughtless on the part OF your
friend to tell you such a gruesome
thing. There is nothing in your hand,
as far as / can see. that would indicate
any such tragic occurrence
Your Head line in the right hand in
dicates a much greater degree of I'M
a~gination than In the left hand. II
you are ri~ght-handed. you are hecona-
ing more imaginative every day. And
for this reason, it is douhly dangerous
for any one, ever jokingly, to tell YOU
anything that would give so strong an
Imagination as you possess such un-
canny material to work upon.
If you are a woman there is a mark~
ing which indicates a serious ailme1t
of the kind the sex is subject to. The
same marking in a mans hand would
be indicative Of mental brilliancy. The
marking / refer to is a star on the
Head line at the point where the line Of
Mercury crosses it.
Your thumb shows a tremendous
amount of determination. With SO
much will-power at your command you
should be able to put into practise any
thing your physician prescribes.
whether as a diet or exercise, OF the
taking of medicine, and soon get rid of
the ailment that appears to be men
acing.

About Men
You Know

Louis knothe, the outer special
guard Of the Rock of Gibraltar" has
more queer questions fired at him
every day than there are square feet
In the British stronghold from which
the "Pru' has taken its popular name.
and some of the questions are quite
as strong as the rock and require
much nerve to answer. After having
assured twoscore people the other day
that the "Pru's" home was really in
plain view before them a more or less
excited individual rushed up to Mr..
knothe and put this poser;
Mr.. Officer, will you please tell me
right away how much money there is
in the Fidelity Bank?"
When the officer had recovered his
mental balance the more or less ex-
cited individual was told TO ask the
proper officials. When last seen he
was making a dive for the office of
Uzal II. McCarter, the president of
the bank.
Arthur F.. Egner, who Is connected
with McCarter & English's law firm, Is
one of those members of the bar who
gets through with a tremendous lot of
Work without making any fuss over 1t.
His specially is looking after compli-
Gated mortgage, note and real estate
deals. and he has a clear-cut way of
presenting the points involved to the
Court Of Chancery. His methods are
diametrically opposed to the slashing
ways of former Attorney-Genera
Robert H. McCarter, the senior men,
Der of the firm, but quite as effective.
John Hensler, on introducing a
Jewish speaker to an Irish audience,
told of an Irishman who was asked
where he wanted to be buried when ne
died. His answer was, "a Jewish
cemetery, because that would be the
last place the devil would expect to
find an Irishman.'' The speakers an
swer to this was that that was the last
place the devil would expect to find
anyone at all.
John Tully, attache of Judge Thomas
A. Davis's courtroom, shut up Joe
Ellis, Gottfried Kunz, Jimmie Reid and
several other court employees, the
other day, as they were unfolding tales
of the big fish that they might have
caught if they had no got away with
this tale:
ut was when l was a boy in Ireland
that this happened" says Tully. I'm
a pond at u home there was an
enormous trout that had been seen
many times, but no one had ever been
able to catch it. Finally one lay I
conceived the idea of putting lines and
hooks on the legs of my pet swan.
Il did so and a couple of days later
there was an awful oommotion in the
pond. | rushed to the edge and there
was my swan first on top and then
under the water, all the time making
a great effort to use its wings and get
into the air.
FINALLY ii succeeded and there on
n of the hooks was the finest trout
ever pulled from a pond In Ireland"
Tully told the story without cracking
a smile. Ellis and the rest of the bunch
faded away and have cut u telling
fish stories In Tully's presence.

LXXVI. HEAD LINE.

No matter how strong our will, how
powerful our affections, how generous.
potent or tender our impulses may be
they will not enable us to attain n
iastingly good results unless they are
guided properly by a good, clear mind
and unerring judgment.
Now. the amount and kind Of mind
(and this includes the judgment) a
person POSSESSES is indicated by the
Head line. This, as you have already
seen, winds its way across the palm
OF the hand usually in the middle. and
its ordinary starting point is at the
edge of the hand midway between the
Index finger and the thumb.
AS a rule it starts at the same point
as the Life line, which Is the line that
encircles the ball of the hand, or
Mount of Venus, as it is called in palm
istry.
AS 1t is usually well TO begin at the
beginning, We shall consider the source
of the Head line first. And this will
be the subject of the next section.

COST OF THE SCHOOLS NEXT YEAR.

@NF the money to be expended on the public schools of New
w ark in current expenses during the fiscal year beginning
July less than onehalf will be raised by the local tax
levy and the larger half will come in great part from the taxes
on railroad property that the State in its benevolence manages for
the municipalities and extracts a big commission from. A smaller
amount will be obtained from the State riparian school fund and
the State appropriation of 100000 to the counties. The sum of
$1O4l ,95295 will be raised from the local ratables, an increase OF
$121, 99517 over last year. This expenditure excludes the cost of
school buildings and sites, which is otherwise provided for by
bond issues. The increase in the school budget probably means an
increase of three points in the tax rate. It S a question how long
the municipalities will be permitted to have the railroad tax income
they now receive. II the tax income from miscellaneous corpora,
tions should be greatly impaired, as it may easily be, the State will
appropriate these taxes almost wholly and the amounts now re-
ceived from the county schools will have to be replaced by cor.
responding local appropriations.

To tho Editor OF the Evening Star:
Now that the police commissioners

would II be out of place to say a few
nice things about the men who SO
cheerfully stood the scrutiny of the
keen-eyed commissioners yesterday? l

quarters and at the. First precinct sta
ton, and I was not a little surprised
to see the fine array of men and their
excellent appearance.
Even the doorinen. who, as a rule, do
not require hats when indoors, wore
their helmets and made an imposing
appearance. 1t was easy to see that
the commissioners were pleased for I

A. CONVICTION FOR HERESY.

1Ta HE verdict of guilty of heresy rendered by the judicial com.
Il mission of the General Assembly at Atlantic City in the
case of the Rev. William d. Grant seemed to be unacceptable
under the circumstances. A church organization has certain tenets
of faith which all of it's members are expected to live up to. If
a shepherd of a flock denies the doctrines of the church, if he casts
doubt upon its principal articles of faith and teaches doubt from
his pulpit, is he not disloyal to his obligations as a pastor and
unfaithful to his charge? The Rev. Mr.. Grant made an exceedingly
lame defense of his utterances. He gave reasons that were utterly
unjustifable as well as unworthy. a man who cannot sincerely
subscribe to a doctrine should not profess it and attempt to teach
it. He is more likely to make unbeievers than believers. The lack
of interest in the congregation that Mr.. Grant alleged in his defense
had for one cause the lack Of faith evident in the pulpit.

STRONGLY EXPRESSED JUDICIAL VIEWS.

IT UST1CE HARLAN'S filed dissenting opinion in the Standard
cU Oil case may almost be regarded as an arrangement of the
court Of which he is a member. In the strongest terms he
takes issue with the court in it's conclusions establishing the legality
of a trust that is not unreasonably in restraint of trade, confront.
ing the court with it's own previous contrary decisions and charg
ing that in it's decision in this case the court had iudicially legis-
lated, thus usurping the legislative function. Justice Harlan ap
prehends that the decision, instead of benefting business, will
cause much litigation and have injurious effects for years to come
Thus far it cannot be said that there has been any particular benefit
to business since the courts decision was rendered, for there still
remains great uncertainty. Nobody knows what Congress will do
with the bills introduced to take the gst out of the decision and
chen, again, nobody knows what Congress will do in the matter of
tariff legislation. -

A NEW

IN MOTHER great dreadnaught has been added to the American
m navy in the Wyoming, which was launched on the Delaware
yesterday. 1t is one of a group of maritime monsters form
ing a battle unit far more powerful than the whole American navy
and British navy combined in the days Of wooden walled ships.
The Wyoming could have sunk at her leisure all the British, French
and Spanish ships at Trafalgar and not sustained an injury. Her
twelveinch guns would have destroyed any harbor fortifcations
that existed prior to the present era of highpowered ordnance.
and she might with impunity have stood off and bombarded Glib,
taltar. Six 2e,000ton dreadnaughts to be put afoat will give a new
character to the American navy. sx4

Trolley Conductors Discriminate.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The new law prohibiting bundles
from being taken on street cars is
wrong in M particular. That is, that
it leaves the decision in the hands of
the conductor of the car. ] saw one
morning last week a woman getting on
a a with three hat boxes. She was
fairly we'll dressed and rather good
looking. Nothing was said about her
having a large bundle at all. A few
blocks further on a nan wanted to
get on the car with a sack that was
not as large In bulk as the three hat
boxes. He was poorly dressed and was
most decidedly not good looking. He
was not allowed to board the car, being
told the new and original: This is
no freight car"
/ do not object to the pretty woman
getting on the car. In fact, I was glad
to see her get on, but 1t is certainly
unjust to allow the conductor to decide
such things. Some way ought to be
devised to make this impossible and
then everyone would probably be salts
fled. H. MAC INTYRE.

right.
At the First Precinct the conditions
were such hat the commissioners
again marveled. Even the drivers Of
the patrol wagons have everything in
spiek and span order. This all leads
to n conclusion. 1t shows that there
Is a system and under this system II is
seen that order can be preserved.
Praise should be given Chief OF Police
Corbitt for the excellent condition Of
the men and for the order in which all
were taken care of yesterday. 1t must
not be forgotten that the bicycle,
mounted and motorcycle men, too. were
praised by the touring inspectors for
their fine appearance. WITNESS.

HOGS ARE GETTING THINNER
creaslng, Say United States Agrl- cultural Authorities.

Washington.-Hogs apparently are following the fashion of the day and have joined the anti-fat movement which paved the way for the hobble skirt Statistics to the department of agriculture indicate that they are get ting thinner every year and that the razorback yet may be the porcine mode.
 The figures show that hogs mar keted between thirty and forty years ago averaged onefourth heavier than those marketed in recent years. In the decade 1s70-79 the average weight of hogs killed during the winter months in western packing centers was about 275 pounds; in the decade 1SSO-S9 about 257 pounds; in the de- cade 1S9099 about 239 pounds. and in the last decade. 1900-09, about 219 pounds.
 No theories are advanced by the department of agriculture as to the cause of this decrease In the weight of porkers.

TOWN IS SOLD BY AUCTION
Baltic Watering Place of HeiIieen- damn Is Offered for Sale to
 the Highest Bidder.

Berlin.-The unwonted spectacle of a whole town being offered for sale at auction was witnessed recently at Doberan, where the Baltic watering place of Heiligendamm was put up for sale to the highest bidder The en- tire town was purchased in May, 1909, by John Marlitt, who founded a busi- ness firm to exploit it as popular health resort. He paid s325,000 and invested another s250,000 fin improve ments calculated to render the place attractive to visitors. The capital, however, was insufficient, and MT. Marlitt was declared bankrupt at the end of last year.
 The sale by auction took place by order of the official receiver. The first bid of s220,000 was made by Herr Vobes. a lawyer, on behalf of Herr Kahlden. The Lubeck bank bid $250,- 900, Herr Kahlden $275,000 and Herr Gluhenstein of Hamburg $300,000. Herr Kahlden then bid $312,000, whereupon Herr Gluhenstein made the highest bid-namely, $375,000 AS this amount was below the margin fixed by the official receiver another auction sale will have to be held

LATE STYLES IN SANDWICHES
Slight Scrape of Honey on Buttered Bread Is One Novelty Brought

Among the new sandwiches which English hostesses are serving with an afternoon tea" says the young woman who knows, there are some recipes new to the majority of Americans"
 slight scrape of honey on buttered bread is one novelty another being golden sirup used in the same sparing fashion. Another sweet sandwich, which is said to have scored great suc- cess, is bread literally buttered with an intermediary wafer-thin slice of gin- gerbread.
 This said thrifty Englishwoman. Is very good way of using dry remnant"
 Thin currant bread and butter is ex- ceedingly popular. while among the sa- vory filings are all sorts of potted and pounded pastes new one is shrimp or salmon paste with a waferthin slice of cucumber or pickle
 A pretty fringed or laceed dolly is laid on every plate of sandwiches, while plain bread and butter is served without dolly
 Even fin summer hot cakes or toast finds abundant appreciation, and, of course, at this season they are espe- cially popular.

railroad training Gould was not equal to the situation. The stocks of his various companies were boycotted In ods which had characterized that end of his business Gould was now hard pressed for money. His Wabash Pittsburg terminal had been over capitalized. and ruin seemed inevit- able.
 The crash came with the panic of 1907, which destroyed forever his transcontinental dream. Four of his roads. the Western Maryland. Wa bash-Pittsburg Terminal. the Wheel ing and Lake Erie and the Interna- tional and Great Northern. which ran into Texas, went into the hands of receivers within period of one year.
 He did not give up, however, but on the contrary began a new scheme to recuperate his properties His first step was to patch up his differences with Hartman. which was accom-. plished by the arrangements of the Western Pacific to be operated on amicable relations with the Southern Pacific. Another plan adopted for raising funds was to cut off the divi- dends from the Nissouri-Pacific and turn back all earnings into the com pany, Gould himself was not adverse to sacrifices and did not accept one cent salary from his work as presi- dent of the road. About this time it was discovered that Kuhn, Loeb & Co, who were agents for the Harri- man road. had underwritten some s30 .0G0 of the Missouri Pacific bonds.
 It was In 1909 that another of the Gould properties passed out of the control of that family. This was oc- casioned when the American Tele- graph & Telephone Go. took over the Western Union.
 An inkling as to the railroad situa- ton was given during last summer when the Pearson Farquhar Syndi- cate, which had been organized for the purpose of gaining control of the transcontinental road, went to smash Among the many securities which they held were large blocks of Mis-. souri Pacific and Wabash. These se- curities were taken off their hands by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. With such large interest in the Gould roads 1t became very evident that this banking house would desire a voice in the control of the affairs of so valuable a property as the Missouri Pacific. George Gould's methods of railroad manage ment had been discredited for many
