LAYS POETIC GEMS
TO WOMEN'S LOVE
Lecturer Tells Alliance Fran.
caise Great Works Were In
spired by Them.

I'VE are indebted to the women
whom poets love for the literary
treasures which might have ever re-
manned hidden bout for their magic
influence" declared Professor A.
George last night in his lecture at
Lauter's Hall before the Alliance
Franchise. Professor Georges topic
was lies Inspiratrices de Lamar
tine"
This was particularly true of the
great poet Lamartine, whose sensi-
tive, passionate heart, wide open to
every sentiment that can sway a
human soul, could not but fall under
the spell of woman's charms, beauty
and love.
I'VE are told that one day an old
gypsy, a fortune teller, declared to
Lamartine, then a young man, that
she saw three bright stars in heaven
that would throw their light over his
path and guide his footsteps. These
bright stars, the lovely inspirers of
the poets genius, Prof. George sue
cessively described.
THE first one was the sweet
Eeapolitan girl, whose story Lamar
tine told in the charming idyll,
'Graziella,' and whose remembrance
as he wrote his poem, LIE Premier
Regret drew bitter sobs from his
heart. Then, after a period full of
dependency, encouragement and
painful visions. we find him seated
by the shore of Bourget Lake listen
ing with rapture to the voice of
Elvire and begging heaven to stop
the fight of time and prolong their
bnssful ecstasy. Alas! this prayer
was not to be heard. For the second
time death robbed the poet of his be-
loved one and left him detected.
breathing forth his grief and despair
in poems of Incompatible harmony
and sadness. But hope and love were
to bloom again over his path.
cat last he met Marianne Birch,
young English woman who, at first
an ardent admirer of his genius, soon
became the loving companion of his
life. She was his inspiring star, ana
to her we owe some OF his most
beautiful poems
"Graziella, Elvire and Marianne
were not the only women who ex-
ercised their influence over the poet.
After recalling the name of Julia, La
marines only daughter, who died at
thirteen, we can pay a we'll deserved
homage to Valentine de Cessiat, the
poets niece. Never did he find in his
saddest trials, as well as in his tri-
umphs, more devotion than in this
lovely creature, who worshtpped him
and stood fascinated by his genius"

EXONERATE CLARK
IN WAGNER CASE
Police Commissioners Uphold
Policeman Accused of Brutal
ly Beating Prisoner.

Patrolman william S. Clark, of the
Fourth precinct was exonerated by
the Board of Police Commissioners
yesterday afternoon. He was charged
with having used unnecessary force
In arresting Walter Wagner, twenty
three years old, of Is Holland street,
on March II last.
At a conference of the commission
ers last Monday afternoon representa-
tives of the West Side improvement
Association made a formal complaint
against Clark. Testimony of numer-
Gus witnesses to the alleged assault
was introduced. Their testimony
was at variance, however, not only
with the witnesses for the officer, but
with one another. Captain oscar
Vogel. of the Fourth precinct, sup
ported the patrolman. He told of the
numerous complaints received from
residents of Springfield avenue of
corner-loafers, of which Wagner was
alleged to be one, on which charge he
was fined Sc by Acting Judge Yuill in
the Fourth Precinct Court on March
IS, on complaint of Patrolman Clark.
On the recommendation of Chief of
Police Michael T. Long the following
were placed on the roll of meritorlous
record: Lieutenants John Harris,
James Quinn, Patrick Ryan, Joseph
Pagan, Joseph Farrell and Patrolman
Joseph Harris, of the First precinct.
Lieutenants Dominick Tenore and Jo-
seph Farrell were commended by the
chief for the recovery of stolen
horse and wagon, the property of the
Volunteers of America.
Antonio Petroni, of the New York
Telephone Company, appeared before
the board, and in a short address
lauded Lieutenants Patrick Ryan, Jo-
seph Farrell and Joseph Pagan for
the excellent work performed by them
in the capture of Charles Wohlsiffer
and John MCGEE, both of whom con-
fessed to their participation in nu-
merous burglaries throughout the
city. He laid great stress on the fact
that the officers risked their lives in
making the arrest and added that but
for the quick action of Lieutenant
Pagan. Lieutenant Ryan would have
probably been shot by Wohlsiffer.
Plainclotheeman Thomas King, OF
the First precinct, was transferred to
the Fourth precinct, and Plainclothes-
man Alfred Cort was transferred from
the Fourth to the First precinct.
Roth officers will continue on detail.
Patrolman William Duffy, of the
Sixth precinct, was fined five days
pay for leaving his post without per-
mission. Duffy explained that he was
taken ill and hurried to his home.
Assistant Police Surgeon Augustus j.
Mitchell visited Duffy at his home,
and testified to the board that he
was not i'll enough to be in bed

Declares There Are Many
Child Labor Law Violations

NEW YORK, May 15.-Tmmediate
action to remedy conditions among
child wirkers in the artificial flower
industry in this city, in which, 1t lie
charged, there are many violations of
the child labor law, is urged in a re-
port just made public by the Sage
Foundation.
Miss Mary Van Kleeck, a special
investigator of the Sage Foundat on
and author of the report, declares
that 1.-The mere mention of the artif1-
cial flower trade recalss the picture
of three-year-old toilers picking apart
the petals to be pasted together in
the shape of violet or a rose" The
bad feature of home work, with its
employment of young children and
aged persons, the report says, results
in bad workmanship and inevitably
undermines the prosperity of the in
dustry.

Mr.. Gladstone, whose famous
pamphlet on the Bulgarian Hor-
rors' proved to be a modern rem
etition of the call of Peter the
Hermit.
The Turkish Government

asked him how much Russia had

declared, would be the beginning
of the end of the Ottoman En-

to hundreds, and the war had
begun.
This was in the spring and sum-
mer of 1911. In 1912 the army
Of bats had increased, according
to the estimate of DR.. Campbell,
to the enormous number Of $780,
900! If every one Of them de-
stroys 500 mosquitoes per day,
the total diurnal slaughter
amounts to not less than $780,
100000!
If we did not know the in
credible rapidity with which mos
quitoes, flies and such creatures
multiply, We might be tempted to
think that the destruction OF $780,
100000 individuals every "a hours
would in a few days wipe out of
existence the entire race of tina
blood suckers.
But 1t would appear that there
are yet enough mosquitoes in the
marshes of Mitchells Lake to
keep DR.. Camphells army of
winged dragons in active cam
paign from March to November
each year.
The destruction takes place
mainly in the evening when the
astonishing spectacle Of the sortie
of the bat army is to be seen.
The horde comes pouring out for
hours, like a dark stream in the
shadowy air, until the entire half
million are in motion, swooping,
turning and darling about in a
bewildering maze of swiftly cut
circles.
The spectator may well mag
inc that, though many mosquitoes
may escape the slaughter, they
must be too terrified to venture on
distant forays after such an ex-
perience.
LIT. campbell appears to be a
very practical man, for he has
made his gigantic bat house yield
so per cent profit per annum on
the original cost through the sale
Of the guano deposited within by
the bats.
This is an excellent manure.
which, when gathered from the
caverns that are the natural
homes of bats, readily sells at
$50 per ton.
The moral that he would draw
from his experience is: Build bat
houses wherever there are mos
quito haunted swamps.
The bats will help to protect
you against malaria and discom-
fort by eating the mosquitoes and
in the very act of doing so will
provide a profit for your pocket
or fertilizer for your garden.
