THE UGLY SPOT

The police ordinances will be an ug-
" spot in the history of the ReHub1i-
can administration. They have moth
ing behind them except ne determin-
atioH of the doninasingS group to
keep control of the city government at
any cost.
The ordinances do carry one benefit.
It is that of the eight hour day to the
police department. a concession wrung
from the promoters of the legislation
out of their great need for some plau-
sibIes excuse upon which to advance
the matter.

appropriation to make them effective

MUSICAL CRITIC SEPARATES
FROM OPERATE WIFE
Couple Wed in Putnam Conn.,, October
5th Last.

Boston, Jan. 1T.-Despite every eff
fort to keep the matter secret, it was
admitted, to-day, by Arthur Wilson,
musical critic on Boston paper, that
he and his wife, Jeska Swartz, prom
inent member of the Boston Opera
Company, have agreed to disagree af-
ter four months of married life. Miss
Swartz as she is known in musical
circles, is a native of Albany, N. z.
Wilson met Miss Swartz in the
course of his work as critic. To es-
cape the five day license law, they
went quietly to Putnam. Conn, where
the Rev DR.. Sargent, pastor of the
Congregational Church, married them
on October 5. The announc EN- ent
was a big surprise to their friends
here. Immediately after her mar
rage, Miss Swartz was forced to go on
tour from which her manager would
not release her. She returned here
December. 8. The couple started
housekeeping in apartments on Hem
enway street. Three days later Miss
Swartz went to the Hotel Lenox to
live.
f"The separation is permanent said
Wilson, to-day. 1.-THE public cannot be
further interested in the matter
Miss Swartz refused to talk.

NO CARNEGIE MEDAL IN
CASE OF NEWSBOY HERO.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 17.-Favorab1e ac-
ton was not taken by the Carnegie
Hero Fund Commission in the case of
Billy Rugh the Gary newsboy who
gave his life that a young girl Sc
vere1y burned might live. Rugh sac
riiced a crippled limb, the skin from
it being used for grating. Later he
died.
That the case of Rugh was "consid-
ered'' by the Carnegie hero invest6ga-
tors is certain but just what require
ments were lacking to entit1e the
newsboy's relatives to the benefits of
the commission was not explained.

LESE MAJESTE

sFIA esteemed Bridgeport Farmer
which is given Of late to mysteries
makes itself suprerLely ridiculous Wher
it solemnlY declares that the views o.
President Hadlcy (of Yale) are SHARED
By no humane man who thinks Greai

I'VE are no student of morbid psy-
cholegy, but when our contemporary
selects from its context a single para
graph OF ours to give it wider
meaning than it ever had, it is suf-
ferinsy from darned sight meaner
coInRlaint than hysteria.
sP1Asident Hadley turned apologist
for Failread slaughter, with special
reference to the westport wreck In
which four women were burned to
death. We excepted to his views up
on this subject only. We did not COM
NIT the error of supposiug that our
cont temporary was either thoughtful or
humane, and would have assumed,
had I'VE thought of it at all, that it was
in entire synpathya-Tsw with. President
HadIey in this matter Indeed, we. are
surprised that the distinguished editor
of The Courant has not long ago pro-
posed legislation making it an offense
in the nature of lese majestic to refer
except with affection and approval to
any railroad monopely,s insurance
comBany, or presidents ofAany univer
sfty.z Perhaps tne, biI1sought to be
written to include The -Courant. The
temptation to refer to IL in unparlia-
mentary language is general and ir-
resistible.

It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
/ scratched them and OF course the re-
suit was blood and matter. The erup-
tons festered. broke. opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. I
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out OF
the question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
by this time I mad used several
well-known remedies without success
The trouble continued. Then I began
to use the sample OF Cuticura Soap

days l noticed gratifying results. I

ABRIDGED Bible.

An abridged Bible is being advo-
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book, and
that omits hundreds OF pages of mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such a Bible would
become instantly popular, because 1t
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story OF the cruel
flxion is told in very few words, and
all the essentials of the Bible for
the average person could easily be
covered in one-fifth the pages required
for the whole work.-Gallipolis Tri-
