Pettigrew VS. Bryan

A good deal of interest has
been stirred up in political circles
in this state by the alleged defec'
ton Of ex.S enator PetIigrew from
the Democratic party because OF
the throwing of the Clark delega-
ton from South Dakota out OF
the Baltimore convention. In
an interview Mr.. Pettigrew pays
his respects to Mr.. Bryan as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Bryan's statement that
he will support no candidate for
president who has the support of
New York is the rankest hypoc-
ricy. 1t is the excuse of the
demagogue who believes that
such a statement will be popular
among the western voters, and
has been seized upon by Mr.. Bry-
an as an excuse tor doing what
he has intended to do ever since
he was elected as a delegate to
this convention by the democrats
of Nebraska.

the democrats of Nebraska to
vote for Mr.. Clark, but instruct
ed by the state convention to use
all honorable means to secure his
nomination. Alter that, he
stumped Ohio, Maryland and
Florida in Wilson 'sinterest, while
claiming that he maintained strict
neutrality between Clark and
Wilson. During the last week
in May, Wilson's managers sent
a lett Or to every Democratic yot.

Mr.. Bryan had Endorsed Wilson
and had made speeches in Ohio
and Maryland in support of him.
sThls letter was circulated
with Mr.. Bryau's knowledge and
consent. And Mr.. Bryan was
thoroughly familiar with the
campaign made in South Dakota.

ODD WEAPONS USED IN DUEL
Settle Family Dispute Out
Of Court.

New York.-"You look like two
sensible men. Suppose you take this
family dispute outside. Go to your
homes and settle it between yourselves.
I'm sure you can arrange things be-
tween you privately better than with
me. Try to settle 1t, anyway, and
then come back and tell me how you
feel"
This benevolent advice was given
by Magistrate Fitch in Long Island
city court to Louis Citryn Of IT. Mott
avenue and his brother-fn-law, Louis
Rosenberg of 1853 Mott avenue, Long
Island City. They had come to court
after a dispute between their wives.

meet with instant approval, and they
left the room.

1t hadn't been for their clothes the

Then both men began to talk at

their wives and children. At least
the magistrate was able to learn,
much to his regret, that his advice
to settle the dispute outside court
had been misinterpreted.
1t came out that In settling the
dispute one man used brass candle

some other metals have their pests

fesors Heyn and Bauer Of the labora-
tory at Gross-Lichterfelde. neaf Ber-
lin.
Cooking utensils were found to be
most affected, and the experiments
were begun on several pots which
were made by cold rolling. Numerous
spots on their surface lay in particu-
lar directions, running straight on the
fat bottom, and in curved lines on the
convex sides. They corresponded to
the direction of stretching Of the met
al. Chemical tests of the deposit at
the spots indicated showed the pres
epQo of water. alumina and lime. Sim
ildF metal was then subjected to all
the. conditions that had surrounded
the use of the kitchen utensils. 1t was
early concluded that neither impurities
in the metal nor atmospheric changes
were responsible for the disease.
1t appeared. however. that city wa
ter had a deleterious effect on the
general health of the aluminium sheets

sheets were attacked by the city wa
ter. After Analysing the water and
continuing the experiments with dill
ferent kinds of water, Professor Heyn
was able to decide that lime salts
were. probably the cause of the dis
ease, and suggests that aluminium
utensils be subjected as little as POP
sible to limy water. 4
