WILL CHECK BOLD vENDERs.

The practice of certain street vend- CTS who seek a crowded mart for their wares in coming within the prescribed limits of Main street and Fairfield avenue resulted in great indignation at police headquarters when the wi1es of the street-hawkers became known. Drastic punishment of violators of the ordinance which prohibits the ped ding of wares within 200 feet of Main street or Fairfield avenue will result, according to orders issued by Acting Superintendent of Police George Ar mold.
 It was learned that street vendors who frequent the corner of Wall street and Main stay down near Middle street while a patrolman is in the vicinity, but as soon as he has passed upon his long beat towards State street they move up close to the Main street corner until again notified by watchers that the policeman is ap- preaching.

Senator Insists on Explanation for Separation of Whites and Negro
 Employees

Washington, Aug. +Opposed to se- gregation of the races in the postof1ce department, Senator Clapp of Ninne- sota, was prepared, today, to insist that Postmaster General Burleson ex- plan the grounds on which an order providing for such segregation of the white and negro employees was in con- temptation. The Senator contends that the two races have worked to- gether for half century and he does not believe any greater need exists for their separation now than at any time in the past. The proposed plan, Senator. Clapp says he has been given to understand, would increase the ex- penses of the department by approx iz11ately $15O,oOo a year.
 While there have been no very stren- uous complaints from &s employees of ostof1ices throughout the country, of hcials admit that vigorous protests against working with negroes have been filed by employees in the railway mail division.
 With the incoming of the Dnno-, cratic Administration, the postal em- pIoyes' organization lodged petitions bearing several thousand signatures asking Postmaster General Burleson for relief It is understood to be largely because of these that the re-

FIRST THINGS IN HISTORY


 The first act interdicting the adu1- iteration of coffee with chicory was passed in England sixty-one years ago. The mixture of chicory with coffee had then reached such point that the loss to the government in excise tax amounted to $500000 year. The sub stitution was scarcely less withspread in America, but practically ceased some thirty years ago, owing to the cheap ness of the genuine article. The Eng fish prohibition of chicory aduIteration was soon amended so that the mixed article could be sold in packaes bear ing the label, Mixture of Coffee and Chicory,'' and this mixture is still sold in tremendous quantities to the pooper people of England. Chtcory itself, all though abundant and cheap, has not escaped adulteration, and has been found mixed with acorns. rye, roasted wheat, carrots, and even oak bark pow der and exhausted tar or tcroats. ' Chicory or suocory, as it is called in some parts of England, is a wild va riety, of endive, and belongs to the same family ass the dandelion. It parts of America. The root is heshy and milky, and was formerly largely used for medicinal purposes. When used as a coffee adulterant the roots are dried and reduced to powder. Chic ory contains very little of nutritive properties, and its continued use is often deIeterious to the nervous sys- tenn.

TIFF WITH WAR
 SECRETARY OVER ARMY PROMOTIONS

Washington, Aug. +Senators and Representa- tives are showing a, dispo- sition to resent Secretary Garrison's s enforcement of the order prohibiting their intercession in favor of promo tions for army officers. The secre- tary hoped the policy of writing each congressional advocate of promotions saying the. communication wasn't re- ceived faborably and made it necessary to ask the officer concerned if he was in any way responsible for the inter cession in his behalf.
 The letters are said to have con tinued in identical phraseology over the signature of the acting secreary of war since MT. Garrisons departure on his inspection tour of army posts. The latest remonstrant is Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who, replying to the acting secretary, said:
 Your letter is at hand. Where officers are confirmed by the Senate it is made a, part of the constitutional duty of a Senator by a provision of the constitution to advise as well as

THE HUMAN PROCESSION

Is it unwise and dangerous for a monarch to be too democratic?
 At some of the courts of Europe this question Is being answered in the a.f- hrmat1ve, and King Has1zon VII. of Norway, is referred to as a horrible example. The Norwegian ruler, who has been called Haskon the Democrat ever since he was elected to the throne in 1905, will pass his forty-first mile stone this Sunday. It is predicted will be the last, he is the first. of his line, and that the years of his life will number the years of the mon archy in Norway. Dispatches from Christtana allege that the King and Queen Maud, who was the Princess Maud Charlotte, third daughter of King Edward VII. share in this pessi- mistic view, and fear that their son., ten-year-old Crown Prince O1av, will never be permitted to ascend the throne.
 The Republican and socia1istic pro paganda has made great progress in Norway during the last year., and 1t is predicted that the radicals will soon gain control of the Sthorthing. The conservative press. of Christfana is in clined to blame Haakon for his "ex- treme democracy, HberaIity and toler- ance.'
 King Haakon VII. was Prince Karl of Denmark, a younger brother of the present Danish King, before he as- stunned the honors and cares of king ship. At the time of his nomination as monarch he refustd to accept the crown until a general plebiscite was taken. This proved that the Norwe- gians were overwhelmed in favor of the Danish prince, and he reluctantly abandoned the naval career he had chosen for himself to ascend a throne As a king Haakon receives $40, GOO xi- ieG niggardly salary.
 During the last year Haakon has been openly fouted and derided in the Storthing, and the constitution has been amended so as to deprive him of practically everything connected with kingship, except the name and the sal ary. Over two-thirds of the members of the legislative body are antf-mon- archists.
 A sociaIistic daily newspaper Of Christiana recently. published a car toon of the King, who was depicted in contemplative and melancholy mood. saying to himself: 'In my native as the king. but here in Norway ev- cry man is better

 this year remains to be seen.
 The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord-Lieuten- ant of Ireland and former Governor General of Canada, was born sixty-six pears ago Sunday. The title of the distinguished statesman dates from 1882, while a baronetcy of Nova Sco- tia was conferred forty years earlier. The Countess, who was a, daughter of the first Baron Tweedmouth, re- gently visited America with Miss vio- let Asquith, daughter of the Prime Minister.
 Prof. Paul shorey of the University of Chicago, who is the 1913 tRoose- welt professor,' at the University of Berlin, was born in Davenport, Ia., f1fty-six years ago today. and taught Greek at Bryn Mawr before he went to Chicago twenty years ago. Some German educators resented his ap- pointment as exchange professor be- cause of his criticisms of the work of certain German philo1ogists.

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

In little church near Jerusalem, on the site Of the ancient Cap1argamaaa, thousands of the halt anI lame eyaLn- cred today to celebrate the festival of the Finding of St Stephens Relics, to gaze on the bones Of the first Chris tian martyr, and to beg his interces- sion for the relief of their ailments St. stephen was one of the disciples of Jesus and after the ascension was chosen one of the. seven deacons. For his adherence to the new faith he was saints he has two festivals, falling on December 26th and August 3rd, that of today comm emo mora ting the finding of his relics.
 After St. Stephens martyrdom his body lay long concealed under the ru- ins of an old tomb at Caiphargamala. twenty miles from Jerusalem. At this place, early in the fifth century, the church was served by venerable priest named Lucian According to tradition, Luc1an was twice visited by a, vision of St. Stephen, who revealed the hiding place of his bones. The priest laid the matter before the Bish- op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to search for the body of the first saint at the place indicated.
 The coffin was found and when opened, according to the chronicIers.

A ''Vast multitude'' had assembled and it is said, seventy-three persons present, who were afflicted with various ail- ments were immediately cured and made well again. portion of the rel ics were left at Oaphar gamala, and the remainder taken to Jerusalem and inferred in the Church of Sion. Eff teen centuries have passed since the translation, and ever since the relics Of the holy protomartyr have been thought to possess miraculous healing powers. }
 'tHow to be happy though rnarried' has long been an interesting problem, and many centuries ago the people of Dunmow, England, sought to solve it by what was known as Etthe test of the fitch of bacon'' This novel cere- mony was usually held on the third of August, and was of the nature Of a matrimonial experience meeting. A jury was chosen, consisting of six bachelors and six maidens, and before these, married couples appeared and attempted to convince the jury that they were perfectly satisfied and hap py, and that they had no desire to be unmarried again. A fitch of bacon was presented to the fortunate pair who could satisfy. the jury that their first year Of life together had been passed in perfect happiness and har- mony, without ever, wish that the bargain could be undone. The custom was inaugurated by the monks of the priory at Dunruow in the reign of King John, early in the thirteenth century. There is a tradition that at the first test only two couples, out of several scores, were able to prove to the court that their first year of welded bliss had been perfectly unclouded. For centuries the custom was kept lp and at some of the tests not a couple se- cured the fitch of bacon. The cere- mony was revived in 1855 by Harrison Ainsworth, the novelist, but was again permitted to lapse until last August; when it was again revived as a fea- ture of the Dunmow pageant.
