RALPH BORlNO'S CASE CONTINUED

Charged With Uttering Worth less Checks, He Begs Prosecu- tor Let Him Make Good"

Ralph Borino, once a power in To- c-l Republican politics, now said to be on the down and out list" politi- cally, was arrested yesterday after noon on warrants charging him with the issuance of two worthless checks, one for SIS and one for $10 on the Connecticut National bank, issued to Daniel Hoffman, a tailor, at 622 East Main street
 Borfno's case was continued until April 10 under bonds of $500, fur

nished by Dominick Varone.
 When the warrant was served on Borino yesterday by Detective Ed ward Cronap, the accused begged to be taken before Prosecuting Attorney Delaney. Upon the granting of his request he besought the prosecutor to give him just 36 hours in which to make good the checks, but his wish was not granted and Borino de- parted in tears.
 Attorney John P. Gray has been re- tained for the defence. A nice point of law may be raised and may be the means of liberating Borino. As the checks were all of them antedated, showing that there was no money in the bank at the time of their issuance, they might be considered as mere 'promissory notes in which case their collection would be a civil, not a criminal matter.

POISON SCARED OUT OF HIM
Young New Jersey Farmer, Fearing
Loss Of Arm, Has Singular
Recovery.

Clayton, N J.-Joseph G. Souder, a
prosperous young farmer OF Clayton,
who recently purchased the Bubois
farm for $4,000, was bitten on the
finger by hog he was killing sew
eral weeks ago, and blood poisoning
set in. The finger was lanced, but
the poison spread to his arm, which
it was thought would have to be am
putated. Souder objected 10 losing the
arm, but as he grew worse he start
ed for the hospital.
Before leaving Clayton Souder said:
"My arm feels better" and before
reaching the hospital he declared it
was well, and begged to be taken
back home. But his brother-in-lav,
who accompanied him, insisted on his
going to the hospital. Here 1t was
found that the arm was well, the ban
dage taken off and left off. 1t had
cured in three hours.
Souders says the only way he can
account for the strange cure is that tho
blood poisoning was scared out Of
him.

ing determined that elongated lips
are thing of beauty, these duHky
damsels so the limit, using wooden
discs in the process of creating and
maintaining this frightful, repuIsive
condition.
1T was on the Shari river" writes
Landor, that / found the custom OF
elongating the lips more exaggerated
than in any other part of Africa, the
women actually inserting small wood
en- or tin saucers in their upper lip
and sometimes in both lips. 1t was
most ludicrous to hear these young
ladies talk, especially when they had
two plates, one in each lip, as they
clapped like castanets, and the voice
became nasal and urmusical. These
women were otherwise we'll formed
anatomically and quite statuesque
when young. They adorned their
ankles and arms with brass rings and
wore shell ornaments around the
neck. The plates in the lips were oc-
casionally removed, when the upper
lip hung down so low in loop as to
reach lower than the chin, leaving a
repulsive aperture under the nose
through which one could see the
teeth
Not a very pleasant picture, truly;
