NoiseIess Auction

A noiseless auction is the latest
boon to mankind that has come out
of Holland It sounds impossible, but
the scheme IS simple. Everybody
who attends the auction and wants to
bid g provided with a seat Each
chair Is numbered, and connected
with wires to a big dial on the auc-
ttoreer's platform. On the dial are
numbers representing prices from the
lowest to the highest amounts.
When the sale begins, the auction
eer describes his wares, and then calls
for bids. The hand on the dial on the
platform starts to move up the range
Of prices, and whenever any bidder
wants to drop out, he signals such by
pressing the button on his chair.
When all have dropped out but one,
a bell rings and light flashes on the
d.al coard, and the highest bid is thus
ascc~tained without any noise or con-
fusion.

Medical MistIetoe

In the former days It was believed
that the mlstletoe had some mysteri.
Gus medicinal virtues. but 1t was
thought, to become really efficacious
remedy all mistletoe used medicinal
" must be plucked from an oak tree
upon which the parasite rarely grows.
1t was considered unlucky to cut this,
or to sell It. In 1857 the only oak
known to bear mistletoe grew In Nor
wood Eng. Some persons cut this
mistletoe and sold pieces to London
apothecaries at 10 shillings each.
Accordingly we read that Of these
"sacrilegious wretches one fell lame,
each Of the others lost an eye, and
the ringleader broke his leg"

Coal

It seems very important to the
purchasing public to shop around in
summer and get bargains when they
want to buy their winter supply Of
coal or part Of it, and take it without
screening, and call It good, clean coal.
We think it very important to have
coal in our yard to serve the public
twelve months in the year. Do
these people that say they give you
bargains ia summer when coal is easy
purchased and prices low-do they
have coal in winter when coal is
scarce and high? No!
We are prepared to fill your bins
now. Let Us have your orders now
while coal is at the lowest price.

Refuses to Sign Letter
The afternoon before the meeting
had had another call from Judge
Lewis and Vaughan. They wished
me to sign a letter to the mayor,
saying he would send me one in
return and that the peace could
then be made public. Judge Lewis
had a letter already written and
asked me to sign 1t. 1 refused,
for it was a silly letter Whether
he wrote it, or the mayor, or the
organization, don't know. 1t read:

Peacemakers Confer
I explained that any differences I
might have with the mayor were
personal ones and that 1 would not
let such differences interfere with
my duty to enforce the laws. They
asked permission to repeat this to
the mayor, saying that the public
demanded that work begun by the
police be continued. 1 agreed. They
departed at midnight and returned
within an hour with a message from
the mayor that he desired peace in
his cabinet and wanted my work con-
tinued. He asked, however, that no
publicity be given this reconciliation
until after the mass meeting Monday
night.
Later I was informed that the
reason for this request was that
the mayor wished to see what the
mass meeting amounted to; that he
was prepared to repudiate the recon
citation in case the mass meeting
proved a failure. The night of the

During the time Mr.. Murphy has occupied the

volved in civil litigation of constitutional
and economic character, involving not only large
amounts of money but also grave constitutional
problems than during all preceding administra-

an undue amount of space in this article; suffice
to say that there have been instituted by the At
torney General, or defended by him appeal 242
civil involving large variety of subjects;
that of these the state has been finally defeated in
but six cases.
