Nine Bay State Farmers Follow
Fiske Warren Plan.
IRy Telegraph to Tho Tribune.

Boston. Aug. 2b.--Nine farmers and
permanent residents of Harvard Town
ship have combined their interests and
have sold their land In the aggregate 166
acres, to a board Of trustees. headed by
Fiske Warren, a Boston millionaire.
Instead Of having. as heretofore. to pay
taxes on their property and on all inn
provements they may make. they now pay
stipulated rental, which does not in
crease with the increased valuation OF
their farms and orchards, and all the
taxes are paid out of the fund that this
rental creates The farmer, instead OF
individually owning his land, really owns
IL equally with the community.
Some portion OF the fund goes to Mr..
Warren In return for his investment Of
money to buy up the farms and set the
organization In action.
The movement is the first OF Its kind In
this state, and follows closely the sue
cessful installation Of the communal VII

"SHOOFLY" MEN ARE OUT

The "shoony" system Is again in opera

whispered the news. one lieutenant. be-
ueved by the patrolmen To he 'shoolly
cop. was seen on lower Broadway last
night.
Patrolmen were ON the alert. and f""
could lc persuaded TO talk aud stand;
rather. IL they talked at all they would
keep walking. and If the reason was
asked the reply would bc that the police
man dill not want complaint for CON

The 'shooily' method of obtaining COM
plants against policemen is perhaps the
most hated I'm the department 1t Is the
business Of the "shoohy" men to go
around a precinct. giving no warning
and watch out for policemen who are off
post having long conversations or COM
mitting other petty offences. The system
has been used with varying success by
several commissioners. Early In the pres
cnt administration "shoofy' policemen
were sent out to spy on their comrades
Later this system of espionage was
dropped.

CORNERS SILVER DOLLARS
Jersey Man Thereby Gets All
Dances with the Bride.

Jacksonville. y. j.. Aug. 25--By ac-
completing corner of all the silver
dollars in the community Boris Michael
put himself in q position where he was
the only man who was entitled TO dance
with the bride at the festivities which
followed the wedding of John Wallish
and Miss Mary Stoke in the picnic grove
on Harleigh Road last night
The wedding cele bration was attended
ny all the members Of the Hungarian
colony. II is the custom at such affairs
for all who wish TO dance with the bride
10 throw a silver coin on an earthen-
ware dish which reposes on a table in
the dance hall Michael made sys-
tematic canvass Of the village In the last
week to get possession Of all the silver
dollars that he could find. He was sue
cessful. accommodating twenty-seven of
the "cartwhcels."
The bridegroom. according to custom,
temporarily relinquished his claims on
the bride after the opening dance. Then
the taple with the plate in the centre
was placed in position Usually there is
a rush to gain the privilege of dancing
with the bride by breaking the plate
with a silver dollar. However, when the
gallants hunted through their purses for
the larger silver coins none except MI
chaei had anything bigger than a half
dollar
The adamantine hardness Of the plate
resisted the force of the smaller silver
coins as one after another of the young
men stepped forward 10 win a dance
Then Michael produced silver dollar.
Jiis FIRST attempt 20 break the plate was
successful and he waltzed away with
the laughing bride. This performance
Michael repeat ted twenty-one times, maxi
ing only seven misses in his efforts to
break the plate.

THIS PLUM GOES BEGGING
No One Wants Queens County Clerk
shin at $4,000 a Year.

For the first time in the more than two
hundred years that Queens County has
been In existence the political parties
have been compelled to go around looking
for a man to accept the nomination for
County Clerk. The regular Republican
oreanization In the county is in this
position, and when the Republican Coun-
ty Committee meets this afternoon the
nomination will have to be forced on
some one who is not enthusiastic over IT,
This condition is due to the fact that
the last Legislature fixed the salary OF
this Office at 5000 year and placed the
clerk under strict obligations. AS the
office has been run before the clerk was
absolutely his own boss, and within re-
cent years his fees have amounted to
not less than $4,000 a year. Under these
conditions any man In any party could
get the nomination who was willing TO
make try at grabbing the rich prize
But an 5000 job and hard campaign
ahead IL not an allurlng proposition.
