viewpoint goes, this question has
been answered. An edition Of Virgil,
the only volume of its kind in the
western hemisphere. is held by
George NJ. Peck, curator of special
collections in the Princeton Univer-
sity Library. to be the most priced
book OF all the 500, 900 volumes there.
This gem of the Princeton collec-
ton is more than $50 years old.
Printed at Rome in 1869. the volume
bears the name of Sweynheim & Pan.
narthe, publishers. IT was purchased
by Lord Houpeton at Strasbourg in
the early part Of the eighteenth cen.
fury. At the sale of the Houpeton
library it was bought for $500 by a
Mr.. Toovey, an Englishman. Later
it was obtained by Junius S. Morgan,
a graduate Of Princeton, class of '8S,
and recently was turned over to the
Princeton library, along with his IA
nous collection. 1t is not known
what price Mr.. Morgan paid, but the

COURT
Judge Holds Alexandria Force
Can Arrest Outside
City.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 49,
Chief of Police Charles T. Goods
and Policeman Leo Magner APP
peared before Judge Howard W..
Smith, in corporation court. this
morning on a charge of contempt
OF court. 1t is alleged that they
failed to carry out an order to bring
Phillip Carroll. colored, before the
court Wednesday. Carroll lives be-
yond the corporation limits of the
city.
Chief Goods stated this morning
that he had received a blanket or.
der from City Manager Wilder M.
Rich that the police should not go
out of the city limits to make ar
rests without his permission.
City Manager Rich stated that
prior to September ], the police had
been going into different counties
and capturing stills most any time,
and that he had received many
complaints and requests that the
police confine their activities to
Alexandria city, and that he had
issued this order because Of these
complaints.
Judge Smith told the officers
when they appeared before him this
morning that his intention in bring.
ing them before him was to point
out clearly the power of the courts.
He stated that although the pc.
lice were a city institution. they
had a large number of State pow.
ers. Any officer, according to the
code of Virginia, has the power to
carry out an order of the court in
any other city or county.

The same managers assert that
the only panacea for the labor
shortage, as they see it, is for the
Government to permit the influx of
more foreign labor and the impris.

liquor and other connections of this
sort, they aver, which incapacitates
men and makes them bedridden for
weeks at a stretch, thereby precipi.
tating a labor shortage.
On the other hand, the agencies
declare the saw mills and the steel
mills have a plentiful supply of
men, and laborers have been hav.
ing to make applications for en-
ployment' direct to the superintend-
ents Of these mills. This is at.
tributed to the wages, which strike

other industries, they said.

ANCIENT RITES
OBSERVED BY
!. QUAKERS
Women of Staid New York
Flock Wear Bonnets in Vogue
in Revolutionary Days.

AUBURN. N Y, April 1S.-
when in Rome do as the Romans
was never heard nor needed by
the tiny band of Wilburite Friends
of 4 Poplar Ridge, little flock
of ! Quakers who are the last
remnant in the Finger Lakes re-
gion of the sect which retains the
religion, garb and customs of two
centuries ago.
They worship silently, without
music, or preaching-only medita'
tion-in a small church on the
road north from Poplar Ridge
midway between owasco and Cay
ugai lakes. The church has no
beffry, no organ, no paint on the
inside. It's doors are at the rear
and it's parishioners come to Wor'
shih only in horse-drawn vehicles.
Adults alone make up the con-
gre&ation at Wilburite Friends to.
daW The old English forms OF
thee and thou" are used eX-
cluaively in their quaint, simple
speech. Children OF the Friends
have taken unto themselves more
modern ideas of worship and the
last tottering pillars of the sect
admit that ere long the remnant
of the flock which settled in the
Finger Lakes region will have
fallen under the advance of mod
ernfsm."
H! Live Wholly Apart.
THE Friends live and labor as a
cIatt apart, maintaining their quaint
customs on the ridge road that
divides the colonies on the two
lakss. Only in one particular thing
have the Friends pushed Father
Time hard in his flight. 1t was
they who first favored woman's
suffrage, preaching the gospel OF
equal rights. long before the move
meitt politically was launched in
Serieca Falls, another Finger Lakes
village, years ago.
III all else the Quakers have been
lefttat the stake. Contrasts are the
rule in the Finger Lakes locality
occupied by the Wilburite Friends.

oftentimes of choicest silk. A few
miles down on the beaches in the

ing.s suits of the color of the rain
bow and minus stockings.
Wear 1876 Bonnets.
On the ridge road the women
wear bonnets of style in vogue
at fhe time of the revolution and
of y type which, it is said, only
three milliners in the United States
can fashion. On the beaches, red,
green and yellow bathing caps are
worn. unseen by the exclusive
women of the Friends.
The church of the Wilburite
Friends is one of the. few churches
in the country whose worship is
according to the creed of George
Fox who lived just two and a half
centuries ago. And in the little
congregation there are only about
g. dozen members. Few people,
even i'm Cayuga county. know of
the. existence of the Quaker church,
without pulpit and without sound
even during the services.
The Friends believe that the Holy
Spirit speaks understandingly TO
each soul and ministers are not
needed to interpret the divine truth.

He stated that during the past
twenty-five years the population of
Canada had increased 80 per cent,
the railway mileage 100 per cent,

cure a few ounces of pure Liquid Sill
