HEAD BRUISED, PIANO RUINED
instrument Falls Distance Of Thirty
Feet and SpIinters on Man, Whose
Injuries Are Trivial.

Only slightly dazed when he dropped
30 feet with grand piano, which fell
on top Of him and was badly damaged,
Morris Gross, twenty-eight years old.
colored, was held for further exani-
nation in the West Philadelphia
Homeopathic hospital, where the
physicians were puzzled at being able
to find merely few scalp decorations
instead of the fractured skull they
expected.
Gross IS piano mover. At Sixty
second and Arch streets he was one
of several moving men who had been
hired to hoist piano to the top floor
Of a four-story building. Gross had
the Job Of riding" the piano to keep
it from swaying into contact with the
brick wall. Between the second and
third floors the rope broke, and Gross
and the piano were dropped to the
sidewalk. A corner of the piano landed
squarely on the mans head and shoul-
ders. He was taken to the hospital,
and q short time later appeared none
the worse for his accident, which he
says is his fourth. The cement side
walk was cracked in several places.

MRS. LANGTRY DRAWS MORAL
Celebrated English ACTRESS" Permits
Herself to Preach Sermon on

Mrs. Langtry mentioned at lunch
con in Washington that she intends to
write q book of impressions gathered
during her recent American tour.

this desertion as naturally as the hen
accepts the desertion Of her brood.

that the story New York broker
told me is exaggerated.

Harvard's New Degree.

Anticipation aroused by Harvard's
announcement Of a new degree, that

already being rapidly dissipated. In
stead of being a sign Of proficiency in
standing Wall street upon its head,
the new degree turns out to be meant

as usual, is over it all. There are

FEARED TO BE MISJUDGED
Man Who Wanted to Read Bible
Without Arousln9 Suspicion 40
TO His Motive.

His face was of the kind charac-
teristic Of men who had gone up
against the world and won over all
obstacles - and he wanted Bible,
says the New York Sun.
Haven't you got one with q back
tust like the ordinary book and with
out lettering on it?' he asked.
The slim little brunette saleswoman
looked surprised and shook her head
decisively as she produced a volume
Of the Scripture bound in the custom
ary fashion with the usual inserip-
tiol.
Nothing at all like that" she said.
'I doubt if you can find such a Bible.
We never have any call for them
bound that way"
"Then perhaps you can find me one
with a good stiff back, without the
lopovers at the edges, SO I can put a
cover on it?"
The saleswoman handed him Bible
so bound. She was too well trained
to ask questions, but she unconscious
ly betrayed an expression which plain
ly said: Il hope you are not ashamed
to be seen with Bible"
The man was quick to- perceive the
expression.
Il know this Is an unusual request
and an explanation might interest
you," he said. II want to read the
Bible. I want to read it all, which
will require some time, as you know,
and as 1 am very busy and most OF
my spare time is Of the odds and ends
variety, I'll have to read it wherever
and whenever I have the opportunity.
"And I desire to read 1t without
causing comment. You see, I've never
been a churchgoer, and my business
associates and acquaintances have
not had reason to regard me as exact
ly patron Of religion. Should they
see me reading Bible at odd mo-
ments, on the train, say, or when mo-
toring about, I'm afraid they might be
seriously epprehensive or digusted, or
both. They'd probably remark some
thing like this:
"'Look at that old reprobate, will
you-reading Bible! Trying to play
pious, eh? And him not bit better
than any Of the rest Of US, either!'
"Oh, + see!" the little saleswoman
exclaimed, smiling understandirgly.
They might think, for instance, that
you're trying to put something over"
The man beamed on her apprecia-
lively.
Tn afraid they might misjudge
my motives and think l might be try
ing to do something like that he
said. $50 I'm going to pHs something
over on them by Disgusting my bible.
! think that it will be the better way
for while. I'll take this one, please.
I'll have paper covers fitted on 1t and
then I can peruse It in peace, without
fear OF precipitating panicky suspi-
cion among my friends"

we went back to Summerton, and when
the rain broke up the game about the
sixth inning, the score we think, was
about 10 to 1 in Summerton's favor.
There was lot of wrangiing during the
game, which we were sorry to see, but
the worse excuse we can give for our
defeat was the biz bats OF the Summer
ton club. They looked as if they were
mad with the ball and drove it to al
corners OF the outtield ard dared the
fe!ders to bother it until they had
scored. However we will &c; them
yet-Here's hoping.

Can Temporarily Store Intoxicauts. Says
High Court.

In an opinion handed down by the
state supreme court this morning, the
case o. the town OF Newberry against
Harvey Dorrah. convicted of illegally
storing liquor and fined $50 or to serve
80 days on the chaingaug, was reverS-
ed.
1t appears, from the opinion, that
Harvey Dorrah bought gallon Of liq-
or and it was delivered to the express
office at Newberry, where Dorrah went
in his employers wagon. got the intox
icants aud temporarily placed it in his
employers residence until he could
take it to his own home. he opened
the package in cook-room of his en-
ployer's home and took drink out of
the bottle. He was convicted on the
allegation that he could not store the
.intoxicants ct any place except his
house or private room.
In contendng that Dorrah had the
right 10 temporarily store the liquor,
which was procured legally and on ev-
ideDce was produced 10 show that he
had made the purchase for illicit npur-
poses, the opinion said:
''To allow conviction to stand un
der the evidence in this case would be
TO strain the law aud violate the spirit
OF it and set back and retard the en-
forcement of the law that was striking
at the unlawful use of intoxicant liq
uors. OF the furtherance of the en-
forcement of the law it would have the
opposite effect"
The sole contention is that the law
was violated when he placed il at the
place other than his house or private
room," states the opinion in dealing
with Dorrah's temporarily storing the
liquor 10 his employers house.
There is not in the case sugges
tion or suspicion that the defendan
was volator of the law" says the
opinion in oVerturning the verdict Of
the lower courts.
Dorrah was convicted By the record
er OF Newberry county, and the muui
cipal officer was sustained by the cir
cutie on appeal.-Coumbia Record

Tiny German States.

Some Of the German states are OF
lilliputian size, as is evidenced by the
fact that it is quite possible to visit
eleven of them, including two king
doms, two duchies and three princi-
palities. in an easy walk Of four and
a half hours.
A good walker, starting from Stein
bach, In Bavaria, will arrive in half
an hour at Lichtentanne, which Is sit
uated in Saxe-Meiningen. Thence the
road proceeds in one and half hours
to Rauschengesees (Reuss, elder
branch), after which in few minutes
Gleima, in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, is
reached.
Half an hours walk brings the Pc
destrian to Altengesees (Reuss, young
er branch). An hour farther on lies
Drognitz, on Prussian soil, and the
last stage is another hours stroll,
finishing up at Saalthal, Saxe-Alten-
burg.
