penses the Interborough had incurred

This has proved to be a loophole as
big as barn The subway magnates
proved they could jump through.
Senator Thompson found that fat
bonuses to it's own officials were voted
by marlborough directors and charged
to the city. The city now seeks to
set these aside. Some of them are as
follows: $4,000 to President Shonts;
$50, 600 to its attorney, Richard Reid
Rogers; 100000 to President Williams.

Commission. Strange to say these
amounts were charged up to the con
struction account" of the subway,
were passed by the Public Service Com
missions accountants. and must be
paid by the city unless a court order
intervenes.

He found that member of the Pub

some property so that the INTERIOR

He forced President Williams, of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, to admit that
100000, judiciously applied, might
have secured the vote of city Official,
now dead.
He got government engineers to tes-
tify that criminal negligence, and in
competence caused two fatal acct

ENGLISH TRIBUTE TO POE.
De Maupassant and kipling's Debt
to American Writer.

The detective story and the muir
der mystery are not forms of any
great literary value, but l must con-
fess to prediction for stories about
crime, and there is some authority
for the view that murder is the most
gentlemanly crime that anybody can
commit
Those who share my taste for
homicide in fction-and | find it
fairly widespread-have reason to be
grateful to Poe. His Dupin is a
prince of detectives and the father
of an illustrious progeny, while such
contemners of the law of the land as
Raffles and .Arsene Lupin are Poe's
illegitimate children. Indeed, Poe's
influence in France has been greater
than among the English-speaking
peoples. Every student of French
literature knows that but for Poe
Baudelaire, Mallarme and Villiers de
FIsle-Adam would have been some
thing very different from what they
were, and NJ. Remy de Gourmont
says in one of his penetrating essays
that Eugene Sue, Gaboriau and
Dostoevsky, in Crime and Punish
ment,' have all taken lessons from
Poe."-"Penguin," in the London
Nation.

Now that politics is on the wane,
the people had better look to other
things. For instance, there is the
coming of the boil weevil to be pre-
pared for. The farm experts all tell
us that the weevil is headed this way
and is sure to arrive soon. They tell
us that the best way to fight this ene-
my is to plant something else than
cotton. Raise plenty of hogs and as
many cattle as can be advantageous
ly disposed of. Plant a good sized
patch of wheat this fall, and prepare
to raise enough corn to do all of next
year, and then some to spare. After
you have planted enough Of all food
crops to last you through the year,
then plant cotton. 1t is likely to
bring a good price; but if it does not
you won't be hurt.

WHAT HAREM LIFE MEANS.
The "Holy Place" is Tranquil
Home, Not Prison for Beauty.

The West brought it's civilization
to the East, but one thing the West
ern people were unable to drive away
from the Orient was the harem. The
Oriental will stick to his harem. To
overturn this old institution would
make an end of culture in the Orient.
The harem is a home for women
members of the family, widowed
mothers, old maid aunts and others
of the family branch. Even old SER
wants, unfit for further service, are
taken into the harem.
The word harem means "holy
place." a protected home, and not
what is falsely understood, a place
where rich Orientals hide and main
tain their many wives. The chill
dren born in harems are kept there
and carefully nursed by their moth
ers. Therefore, the death rate in
these refugees is very small.
Conversations in the harems are
carried on so that the children do not
understand what is said in their pres
ence, and as the children are always
under the special care of their moth
ers, servants have no opportunity to
teach such children things they
should not know.
Western people have accused the
Turks of polygamy, which is denied
by the Oriental, and the accusation
returned with the remark, the West
ern men are worse, for they flee from
flower to flower, but no one brings
any of these flowers home to make
her his wife.
Turkish men seldom are rude to
the female population, but many Eu-
ropeans, who don't know the laws
and customs of the Orientals, are the
cause of the harem ladies being COM
PEELED to veil.-Land and Nicer.

Tobacco Aids Soldiers.

The beneficient effects of tobacco
at the front were affirmed by the
Lancet as long ago as 1870, when the
question was being discussed in con-
nection with the Franco-Prussian
war, THE SOLDIER it was said,
"wearied with long marches and un-
certain rest, obtaining his food how
and when he can, with his nervous
system always in state of tension
from the dangers and excitement he
encounters, finds that his cigar or
pipe enables him to sustain fatigue
with comparative equanimity.
For the wounded it is probable that
tobacco has slight anodyne and mar
cotic properties that enable the suf-
ferer to sustain pain better during
the day, and to obtain sleep during
the night" "-London Chronicle.

The former governor denounced
Governor Manning at the Winnsboro
meeting, employing for the first time
during the campaign characteristic
epithets. We suspect that the former
governor was wise in waiting until
the last meeting to do this. 1t will
be noted that at all the previous
meetings he had couched his speeches
in respectable language. Also it will
be noted that not only did he wait
until the last meeting to engage in
personalities, but he also waited un-
til Governor Manning had caught
