Remember the sale of seats for the
lecture course Friday evening. Those
who have not already signed for
tickets can do so by coming early on
Friday evening. On Wednesday eve
ming, Nov. 26th, the Metropolitan
Male Trio will appear in the town
hall as the first entertainment of the
course. The Metropolitan boys have
the distinction of equaling male quar-
tets, even excelling some. The or
gan chimes are a feature of the en-
tertainment and the boys play many
instrumental selections wholly on the
chimes, while some of the finest Sc
lections are when the voices blend in
ideal harmony in their playing-sing-
ing numbers.

Use for Rat Skins.

Exhibiting the cured skin OF a brown
rat, the veterinary inspector of New
castle, Eng, has pronounced such
skins superior to the Innings found In
some expensive coats. The difficulty
in creating a ratskin industry appears
to be the uncertain source of supply
but the demand that would be aroused
would be an incentive for destroying
the rats that now constitute so serious
a plague. The bodies of the animals
need not be wasted. as they form suit

making apparatus in the most OBJ
scure cellar. Several stills have al
ready been raided on the East Side
and one in the fashionable section OF
the north shore of Long Island. The
revenue men come to Gotham from
Cambridge. Mass. for years a no.
license town. Cambridge had always
fiocked TO Boston for its wet goods
until national prohibition. Then II
happened that revenue men found
$50 gallons tucked away in a bdrn.
The stupidity of New York police
has passed the ludicrous stage. II
has become both tragedy and q
civic disgrace. The recent dismissal
of a girl of undisputed high charac-
ter from the far west on the charge
of professional vice shows the depths
to which the police will descend to
cover UP their bone headed arrests.
The girl was here buying her trous-
seau. Through ignorance of the city
she got into house of designation,
and the police, trying to trap the
woman who conducted the place, ar
rested the girl. They swore she was
sitting with man in the room when
they entered. All of this was proved
false. The girl was held with other
prisoners-prostitutes and drug fiends
for forty-eight hours before her
case came up for trial. A fat headed
magistrate convicted her, but a higher
court reversed the decision, rebuKed
the magistrate and has advised the
girl to arrest the police for perjury.

Dealer Into Police Court
Murphy Patton Squeals on
Wesley Kenyon When He
Charges Sc q Pint.

Murphy Patton, a negro arrested
by officers Duggan and Gouldy, was
brought into the city court Friday
morning on a charge of being drunk
on the streets. Patton was found on
Main street about IL o'clock last
night, and at the time of his arrest
was in possession of a pint bottle of
rye whisky, for which he claimed to
have paid Sc.
He told the officers that he could
not give them the name of the place
where he procured it, but offered to
take them there.
Upon Investigating the house of
Wesley Kenyon, negro driver for the
Atlantic Ice and Coal company, who
lives on Washington street, the Off
GERS found a supply of whisky sew
eral bottles of which were produced
in court as evidence Friday morning
Kenyon was evidently doing a thriv-
ing business, and if he had been con-
tent to stick to market" prices he
might have evaded the law. His high
prices aroused the discomfort of
Patton, who pointed out the house
to the officers. Kenyon was fined $40
and costs in the city and bound over
to the grand jury.

shing was more deserving than any
former general, having commanded
more troops than any other man and
having fought on three continents"
Republican Leader Mondell said
along with his great military leader
ship Gen, Pershing has been alert
enough to maintain an interest in
the countrys affairs" and urged the
high rank for the commander as n
recognition of his extraordinary serv-
ices.
Former Speaker Cannon, Illinois,
paid tribute to the humane senti-
ments of Gen. Pershing, saying:
He's got a heart, as well as great
ability as q general"
