Boy SSHOOT|NG UPHELD
To MAINTAIN BLUE LAW
Tangier Islands Older Residents
Determined to Enforce Church
Attendance.
From The New York World.


Crisfield, Nd, April 26.-While Roland
Parks, the seventeen-year-o youth who
was shot by a policeman ON ,Iangler
Island two weeks ago for refusing to go
10 church, lies near death In the General
and Marine Hospital in Crisfield, the
unique island law which seeks to COM
pei church attendance IS stu IN vogue
and is being rigidly enforced.
Only a political upheaval In this fishing
community of 5000 souls and the cleo
tion of a municipal board from among
the Younger element known as the
Liberals. can bring about the repeal
OF the law which attempts to regulate
religion and the stringent Sabbath OBJ
servance which led to the tragedy of
two weeks ago.
While only twelve miles from Girls
field. out in Chesapeake Bay, just across
the line in Virginia, Tanger Island
is. perhaps, the most unique community
in point of religiotis ideas and general
manner of living of any community in
the United States, and certainly the post
pronounced example of domination by
religious fanatics to be found in the
country. The island is a Methodist COM
munitv and Swain Memrial Church is
the only house of worship. The minister
is looked upon by the natives as a SUI
preme being, and absence from any
religious service is considered a mark
of disgrace.
The remarkable town ordinance which
led to the shooting of young Parks by
Charles Connorton represents the sin
cerc sentiment of a majority of the
older heads as an entirely legistimate
manner of instilling religious principles
into the people, and, despite feeling

REMOVED THE DUST.
State House Ceiling Supposed to be
Wood, Found 10 be Glass.

Columbus, O., April 27.-If at times in
the last 60 years the deliberations of the
Ohio legislators seemed to indicate the
presence of buain cobwebs, there was rea-
son for it and all may be forgiven now.
When the State House custodian order
ed a thorough cleaning of the Senate
chamber, workmen found the ceiling to be
made largely of glass, but so thick was the
coating Of dust and debris that the pre-
sent generation had supposed it to be of
solid wood The ceiling had not been
cleaned since 1858. Four truck loads of
dirt were removed from the ceiling.
One of the consequences of the cleaning
will be to reduce Ohio's electric light bill,
since light will now penetrate into the
chamber, if not into the debates, during
day sessions.

"I am inclosing to you a copy of the

Wrong Treatment.

At last science has determined the
real source of all skin diseases, and
with this enlightenment comes the
reason why the prevailing treatment
heretofore used has proven such a
complete failure. 1t has been proven
that impurities in the blood cause
millions of tiny disease germs to set
up their attack on the surface of the
skin, and in the form of pimples,
boils, scaly eruptions and itchy,
burning irritations, begin their dis
figuring and destructive work.
Being in the blood, these disease
germs can be reached only through
the blood, and local applications have

The plot follows the actions Of a gang
Of crooks who are assisted by an inno-

There is a love story. of course.

Never for moment does the plot drag

The girl Of the story. who falls into
