There is famous story of II man,
Don Vincente OF Aragon, that is told
by all writer's upon the art of book
hunting. This Don Vincente is called
by Andrew Lang the great pattern of
biblioclepts.' To get the book be
coveted he killed its possessor and set
Gre to his house so as to cover up his
crime. But the man was at last sus
pected and the famous book found in
his possession to confirm the suspi-
cion. The case against him was ar
gued on the ground that there was but
one copy In the world of the book found
in his possession. and Its previous own
er was known to all. Don Vincente
had clever lawyer, who proved that
another copy did exist IN the Louvre.
and since there were two, he argued,
there might also be more. and so Don
Vincente might have come honestly by
his. At this Don Vincente gave a
great cry and said to the alcalde: "Ah,
Senor Alcalde, my error WAS clumsy
indeed! My copy was not unique."-
Frederick A. King in Bookman.

Acting Governor Fielder Busy
by the Legislative Mill
ltrom the NEWS CorrespondentD


Trenton, March 2S.-Measures
passed by the Legislature are being
handled rapidly by Acting Governor
Fielder, and yesterday afternoon he
signed nineteen more bills, making
them laws. One bill approved was
Assembly 1l2, by Mr.. Richards, of
Atlantic, placing state, county and
municipal employees, including en-
ployes of boards of education, under

yides that such employees shall be

PROVIDES FOR
3 DETECTIVES
Burton's Bill for MiddIessx
-~--,~ is Passed.
tFrom the NEWS correspondent.N


Trenton, March 2S:-Two bills of
interest to Middlesex county passed
the assembly yesterday afternoon.
Assemblyman Burton's bill giving
MiddleseX county three county detec-
tives was one. The other was AS
semblyman Quinn's bill creating the
office of state boiler inspector with a
salary of $4,000 attached.
Acting Governor Fielder vetoed
Assemblyman Kirkpatrick's bill
which provided that the chancellor
might, under certain conditions,
direct the cancellation of q tax sale
after the time to redeem the proper
ty sold has passed. Governor Fielder
explained his disapproval in the fol-
lowing language:
should this bill become a law
feel it would disastrously affect tax
collections for no purchaser of a tax
sale could know when, if ever, he
could perfect his title. The dispute
which the owner could urge as his
failure to redeem might be based on
an alleged unfairness of the original
tax, or upon some other cause, and
certainly would not be limited to a
dispute as to the costs and expenses
claimed by the purchaser.
"Then, too, there is no limit Of
time fixed within which the owner
must bring his proceedings in the
Court of Chancery. Under section
of the bill he may Ale his petition at
any time, no matter how long after
the time for redemption fixed by law
has expired"

AAT|-BUG LIQUID FOR
THE POLICE l0DGERS

Clean up day was declared in the
lodging quarters in the basement of
police headquarters today. AS a re-
suit the dodgers who were filthy and
almost alive with vermin were given
a thorough scrubbing, covered with
an anti-bug liquid and given other
clothes. Long locks of hair and
whiskers, some of which had knotted
and become stiff with dirt, were
shorn off. The idea met with so
much favor among the dodgers and
the police that 1t will be carried out
occasionally when it may be deemed
necessary. One of the lodgers was
sent to the almshouse after being
thoroughly cleaned.

Aunt Louise" who would not have
men in her home, in fact there were
no men in Tottenville and the young
ladies were lonesome to talk to a
man. AT last Maud wrote to a gen
tleman friend in Perth Amboy to
come and make them a visit, without
consulting her aunt. Maud got an
answer from her friend stating that
he could not come, but would send a
friend of his, DR.. DEWEY. The young
ladies were elated of man coming
and made all kinds of plans to at
tract him. Maud decided to make a
cake. Elizabeth thought she would
look up the study of medicine and
Bertha started to make him a cigar
holder. In sewing the holder Ber-
tha hurt her finger with the needle
and had to bandage it up. Elizabeth
at that time come linping in having
hurt her ankle and she had to ban
dage it up. Maud, who was making
the cake had the misfortune to burn
her arm, which had to be tied up,
The three young ladies sat patiently
waiting for the arrival of the doctor
to help them in their trouble when
their aunt, who was such man
hater, came into the room, apparent
ly suffering with a toothache, and
saying she thought the doctor would
be able to cure it. Her niece, Maud,
told her 1t was a funny thing to have
your teeth ache when they were
false. AT that time MRS. Malloney,'
Miss Francis Henry, announced the
doctor, who proved to be a woman
doctor and suffragette, who carried q
bag with "Votes for Women" on it.
The doctor, who was Miss Charlotte
Shirley, made short talk on wom-
ems rights. The young ladies were
much disappointed and soon had
their bandages off and the aunt for
got her tooth ache. The young la
dies took their part exceedingly we'll
and much credit Is due Mrs. Stark
who coached them. Between the acts

panied on the piano by Miss Lucy

Army of Flies to Fight Invading

Scientists Of the Department Of Asrl-

aware that two armies, each number

The people most interested in the

Eriopus floridensis, and the ichneumon
fly, the only natural enemy of the fern

The fern caterpillar has been at

country, destroying plants. especially
ferns and rose bushes, and now il has
been decided TO turn loose millions OF
the ichneumon flies in the areas at

battle royal with the odds on the
ichneumon army.
During recent years this species OF
caterpillar, native to Florida and tropi-
