CLAIMED FOR NEW YORK CITY
Origin of Popular Expression, "Let Her
Go, GaIIagherl" Said to Have
Originated There.

The expression Let her go, Gala,
CHER" is in use in nearly every city
of the United States, and has travelled
to foreign countries, yet 1t Is doubtful
If many can tell the origin Of 1t. A
group of men recently met in New
York city and soon were talking OF
events that happened many years ago.
One of them told the story Of Let
her 90. Gallagher" and vouches for
the truth of it, as he was present al
the time 1t began.
"A number of delegates said tho
veteran, representing the Chicago
fire department came to visit the
New York fire laddies In the early
'70s They were shown about fire
headquarters and inspected the differ
ent systems. Then they desired to
see some of the crack companies.
Their escorts brought them to hook
and ladder No. IA, In East 125th
street, and while examining the ap'
paratus an alarm was sounded from
the West Side. Capt. Henry M. Jones
bade the visitors Jump on the sides
of the fire truck and accompany the
fire fighters to the blaze.
Peter Gallagher was the driver OF
the team, and he quickly got to his
seat on the truck. 1t swung out to
the street, and the driver guided the
horses to stralghten out the ponder.
Gus machine. When in a position to
take full speed and dash to the place
where the alarm was sounded Captain
Jones yelled to the driver. Let her 60.
Gallagher!'
"The visiting flremen never forgot
the command, and thus began the "a
nous old saying that is in vogue to
day."

WORKINGS OF THE CAMORRA
How an EnsIishman Was Politely
MuIcted of $500 by italian
Society.

A paean of rejoicings has gone up
in print over the verdict on the Ca.
mora prisoners at Viterbo, and 1t is
stated-rather previously, l fear-that
the great secret society Of Italy has
been scotched. That Naples will no
longer be its headquarters is proba-
BILE, but 1t is so widely spread over
the whole of Italy that it can be no
more killed by imprisoning it's Nea-
politan leaders than you can kill an
octopus by cutting off one Of its ten
tacles. The society has local branches
in every town Of Importance, and 1t
adapts its methods to the status OF
the people whom 1t bleeds.
How polite the Camorrists can be
true tale Of how an Englishman SUBJ
scribed to its funds will show. The
Englishman In question, married
man, took house in one of the sea-
port towns of Italy, not Naples, and
brought his English furniture with
him. A month or two after he had
taken up residence. very polite ltal,
ian gentleman called Oh him and pre-
sented him with bill for 5000 for
furniture bought from an Italian firm.
The Engishman said that there must
be some mistake, for he had bought
no furniture in Italy, and his visitor
then explained that the bill was the
means by which he might subscribe to
the local branch of the Camorra, and
thus obtain its protection. There was
no hurry about the matter. said the
polite Italian, and II the Englishman
did not care to pay at once the matter
might stand over for six months.
The Englishman went to his consul,
who referred him to the local head or
the police. The local head Of the pc.
lice, talking as an official, promised
him every protection If he did not In
tend to give the money, but as a pris
vate individual, suggested to him that
$500 was not very much to pay to
avoid all the anxiety that was entailcf
by being In the black books of the Ca
mora. The Englishman paid his 5000
and holds the bill, duly receipted, for
purely imaginary furniture, bought
from purely imaginary Italian firm.

kjno Georue's Naval Library.

King George possesses one OF the
finest collections of naval books and
pamphlets that have ever been gotten
together. Formerly his library has
been kept at York cottage. but 1t Is
now being transferred to Windsor,
where a specially fitted up room has
been provided for it. This collection
is not confined to books dealing with
the British navy, but embraces the
fleets of almost every country in the
world and is In diversity Of Ian
guages.
There Is nothing affecting the sea
and its command that escapes his
majesty's notice and a leading firm
of West End book sellers has a stand
Ing order to forward copies OF any
naval books that may be published
wherever the court happens to be sit
uated the moment 1t makes its ap-
pearance. His majesty examines all
these most carefully and decides
whether they are worthy OF being
added to his collection or not. The
king has great liking for making
marginal notes in such books as he
reads, and some Of these would prove
decidedly interesting IL 1t were pos
sible to inspect them.-The Gentle
woman. AI

Human HalrNets.

The annual sale Of nets Of human
hair, according to the report Of the
American consul at Kehl, estimated
at 100000.
Hair-nets are made almost wholly
in the houses of Alsatian and Aus
trian peasants: the peculiar skill re-
Quired to net hair has become In part
hereditary.
The children begin first to tie the
hairs together, end to end, to make
one long hair. Then, with only q
round piece of wood about six inches
long and one.half inch in diameter and
a needle, the older girls and women
and sometimes the men-weave the
nets. Each mesh Is knotted In much
the same way that fish-nets or ham,
mocks are made. Only tying a single
hair is a more delicate and difficult
task than tying a string.
To make a dozen nets is q day'a
work of ten or twelve hours.

Fact About the Mushroom.

A well-known botanist says that
mushrooms might properly be called
vegetable meat and used as a substi'
tute for animal food. 1T is doubtful.
however if this is true says the
American Medical association. THE
more we learn of mushrooms, the more
1t becomes apparent that they are
scarcely different as regards dietary
virtues from the general run of the
green vegetables which have never
achieved the distinction of any unique
or superior nutritive properties. They
belong rather to that large group OF
food materials which we consume for
reasons quite apart from the yield OF
nourishment which they have to offer
to the body"

A Hopeful View.

The water wagon is a more pop
ular vehicle of transportation fol
those who wish to get along to-
ward the top in Chicago than il
used to be, according to Chicago
saloon keepers. May 1st in the
neighborhood of five hundred beef
and whisky vendors in the big
city closed up shop and withdrew
from the business. According tc
the saloon keeper, the "booze
game" is not what it used to be.
Said one who voiced the opinion
of many: SIN these modern days
we hear little or nothing of tenn
perance societies. A man who
finds himself drinking to excess
quits of his own accord. If he is
unable to do so, he goes voluntar-
lily to a sanitarium, where the
alcohol is taken out of his sys-
tenn, and he is given another start.
Arthur B. Farwell, President OF
the Law and Order League, con-
siders it a great step forward for
temperance.--TBe Herald and Pres
byter.

Why Not Remove The Cause?

New York State is spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for a sanitarium for i~nebriates.
Agitation is on for similar institu-
tons in Pennsylvania and other
States. At the same time COM
monwealths are spending vast
sums in reform farms, penitenti-
aries and other penal institutions.
But why not prevent crime instead
OF Furnishing it? Why not devote
time, money and energy to keep
the youth from becoming crimi-
nails rather than in taking care of
them after they become criminals?
Why not remove the cause rather
than continue to burden taxpayers
with the effect? Why not grow
good citizens instead of bad ones?
Why not make it easy to be good
and difficult to be bad.-Tbe Herald
and Presbyter.

Z Law.

The ancient fallacy is constant
ly making the rounds of the press
and the platform: Man can not
be made good by law! But is not
this the real object of all legisla-
ton, to make people good in a
large and general way? They are
made good by statute just as they
are made wise by law. In the one
case government provides the
means of education, and in the
other it imposes restraints upon
vice and creates incentives and
opportunities of virtue. The
State would be a pitiful failure
could it not help people to be good,
not by fat, but by providing ia
vorable conditions. And this Is
all that the advocates of temper
ance laws have in mind. Both
law and sentiment are needed.
Law without the enforcing public
sentiment is like a machine with
out motive power; while mere
public opinion without some def
mite legal agency for it's enforce
mont is as ineffective as powder
burned in the open air.-The Her.

Guarding Against Trouble.

The day after Clark County voted
"wet" the manager of the street
railway company in Springfield
issued an order to the effect that
any employe found in a saloon,
with or without his uniform, would
be subject to instant dismissal.
That manager understands the de-
moralizing work of the saloon and
does not propose to take any
chances. If, as liquor men assert,
the saloon should be placed on the
same plane a s any other business,
why was such an order given?

Pulaski Grand Jury
 RecOnvened Today

Little Rock, Jan. 29 The Pu- laski county grand jury recon vened today, and it is expected will soon wind up its business.
 It is understood that one of the matters that will be taken up at this time will be the scandals developed in the recent primary election in the race for consta- ble of this township, between W. A. Jones. Jones was nominated but Rankin claims that he was slandered, and since the primary has secured the conviction of woman at Lake Village in civil suit for libel, and a judgement against her for $40. She swore to an affidavit which Jones used in his campaign against Rankin, and now she says she did not know what she was signing.
 There are rumors that there will be other proceedings in the courts here.

Candidates Want Pri-
 marieS Held Later

There are a great many politi clans asking the question now, Why should the state primar- ies be held nearly six months be- fore the state election, in the wet season, forcing the candidates to make their campaigns Tn the most dlsagreeable season of the year."
 It has been the experience of many of those now canvassing the state, that the weather has made the roads so bad in many places that it is impossible to get large audiences of farmers, even spell binders of other days being greeted with small crowds.
 It is probable that at the next state convention, an effort will be made to change the primaries from March to midsummer, after corn has been laid by, when the weather is more favorable.

Let Us Not Be Discouraged

There are those today who talk of the liquor curse as many used to talk of slavery. In those days men used to say it was all right to be opposed to slavery, but that you could not do any thing and it was useless to try.
 They said: We wish there was no such thing as slavery, but it is here, and here to stay. 1t has everything-social power, political power, money power. Even abolitionists as radical as Wendell Phillips thought the day of victory was far in the fu- lures. MT. Phillip said; he thought perhaps it would take a couple of hundred years to work that problem out. When Queen Victoria received Mrs. Hariett Beecher Stowe, she made her a present of pair of bracelets. She said: "On one. of these bracelets 1 have caused to be en- graved the date of emancipation of slaves in the English posses sions. The other is not engrav- ed at all, but by and by. when slavery is abolished in your country, you can have that date put on the other bracelet, and then on these two bracelets you will have the dates when slavery was abolished in the two great English speaking nations of the world.'
 Harriett BeecheH Stow e| brought her bracelets home and meeting her friends she told them of this story and said to them: "I do not expect to see this bracelet engraved; I do not expect that my daughter will live to see it engraved, but I be- lieve my daughters child before she dies, may see on this brace let written the date when slavery ceased to be lawful in our coun. try"
 Hariett Beecher Stowe did not dare to think she would ever see the end of slavery; did not dare to think her child would ever see the end of slavery, but hoped that her child's child might live to see it die. Yet she lived a | full generation after that infamy went into the grave.
 Who knows how near may be the day of signal victory when the liquor curse shall find it's grave? Have faith in God"
