ANOTHER N. Y. STATE

Every day more banks crash. An
other New York bank, with $1,117,914

he had taken possession of the State
Bank Of Canastota, N. Y.

How Senator

A certain senator in New
Jersey arrived at his desk one
morning at 3 p. m, opened his
drawer and found ten $1,000
bills. He counted them over one
by one, ten Of them.
The statesman, so-called, out
ragged, jumped up in the senate
and Indignantly beloved:
II have been offered brides,
yes h-jhes, 70 vote against this
bill. Some scoundrel left money
in my desk, $1,000 bills. Three
Of them! Here they are!"
The law-juggler thereupon
tossed three (1-2-3) Of the
ten $1,000 bills to the shocked
speaker. and, boiling with in
dignation, walked out with a
newly-acquired reputation for
honesty and seven $1,000 bills.

NESSIN CASE PUT
OFF TO DEC. &c
Police Fail to S t O p
Meeting of Jobless

NEW YORK.-The cases of Sam
Nesin, Milton Stone and Lealess,
members of the Oct. 16 delegation
of the 100000 jobless in New York,
were postponed yesterday to Dec. 26.
An argument is being made to have
them transferred to general sessions,
because of the change in the charges,
In general sessions they would get
a jury trial. Tammany wants them
tried without a jury in special ses-
sions and railroaded through to an
indeterminate sentence of three
years, like the very similar case OF
Foster, Minor, Amter, Lesten and
Raymond. Raymond is still serving
time in that case.
Mayor Walker ordered the police
to beat up the Oct. Is delegation
right III the board of estimates room
when they demanded that some OF
the money being spent on graft be
turned over to the jobless to save
their lives.

Of the Downtown Unemployed Coun-
Gil, and stubbornly refused to be

The jobless gave scant courtesy to

them away from the Unemployed
Council speakers. HES no worker"
they muttered about the Music Sec
rotary. 'Who Pays You?" they
yelled at him. The Musteite was
telling them how amiable the police
were and that their only task was to
dramatic" their demands.
Ball was chairman of the Unem-
ployed Council meeting and speakers
were Murphy, Williams and Milton
Stone. Stone took the stand imme-
diately after coming ont of special
sessions court.
The usual meeting in 27 E. Fourth
st. followed the open-air meeting,
and many joined the council, also

Light Warns Mariners
of Treacherous Reef

One of the most famous lighthouses
in the world recently celebrated its
jubilee. A slim white pillar, known to
nearly all sailors, rises out of the
sea fourteen miles from Plymouth,
England. This is the Eddystone light
house, or, rather, the fourth Eddy
stone lighthouse For more than two
hundred years, the light from this bea-
con has safeguarded mariners during
the night against the treacherous reef
which is its foundation, and which
lies directly in the track Of vessels
entering and leaving the English chan
mel. The first of the lighthouses erect
ed on this reef was a queer affair. 1t
was tower that looked like a cross
between a Chinese pagoda and Turk
ish minaret. The outer walls were
circled with wide galleries, and were
ornamented with painted suns, wooden
candlesticks, weather vanes and
strange gables. The tallow candles
in this wooden lantern were lit for
the first time in November, 1893. For
four years this queer structure with
stood the onslaught of wind and sea.
Then one fateful night a terrific hurri-
cane swept away the lighthouse and
its occupants. The present lighthouse
was designed by Sir James Douglas,
and its first stone was laid August 10,
1879.

Sixteenth Century Tale
Popular With Writers

Faust and FauStus are different
forms of the same name, and, accord
ing to tradition, the bearer Of the
name was famous magician of the
Sixteenth century, native Of Suabia,
an ancient duchy Of Germany. A rich
uncle having left Faust a fortune, he
ran to every excess. He made pact
with the devil, (who assumed the name
Of Mephistopheles and the appearance
of a little gray monk), that If he
might indulge in his propensities free
ly for "a years, he would at the end of
that period consign to the devil both
body and soul. The compact termi-
mated in 1850, when Faust disap-
peared. His sweetheart was Marghe-
rita, (Margare), and his faithful serv-
ant was Wagner. The German poet,
Goethe, has a dramatic poem entitled
Faust" produced in 1898, and Goun-
cd, the composer, an opera called
"Faust ct Margherita," produced In
1850. The English dramatist, Marlowe,
who lived in Shakespeare's time, wrote
a tragedy based on the same tradition.

Oldest and Costliest
...... Perfume Is Rose Altar

Altar of rose is described in phar-
macopoeias as the oil distilled from
the petals Of the damask rose (Rosa
Damascene). 1t is employed mainly
in pharmacy for pertaining lotions and
medicinal washes, but has certain
reputation in the treatment of pain
full eye affections, being astringent,
like most vegetable substances.
1t requires two hundred pounds Of
almost feather weight rose petals to
produce one ounce of altar of rose,
so is it any wonder that the perfume
in its quaint eastern phials, covered
with quotations from the Koran, costs
anything up to five pounds sterling
a fluid ounce?
Persia and Turkey produce most Of
the altar of commerce. India has lost
the monopoly, as she has lost the
monopoly of cinchona (quinine) and
opium, much to the benefit of other
countries. Rose water itself is far
older perfume. 1t is referred to by
Nicander in B. G. 140, and the Mo-
hammedan pharmacists, although they
introduced its use into Europe, I'M
doubtedly learned it from India, as
they learned many other secrets Of
medicine and pharmacy.-Montreal

Bitter Comment on the

Numerically opposite, in behavior
toward the late king. One set of ac-
cusers will have it that we prosecute
his memory with the same hostile
spirit with which we assailed his liv-

proaches us with mean sycophancy to
the living, and still meaner malignity
towards the defunct prince. 1t might

inconsistent calumnies, and leave

Attribute Quakes to
Earth-ShakinR Giants

In southern Italy, where earth
quakes are Of frequent occurrence,
old peasants have many queer legends
which have been handed down
for centuries. In the neighborhood
OF Mount Etna one of the strangest
of these is widely believed.
The peasants will tell you that cen
turtles ago their ancestors won the
land from race of giants. They
compelled the giants to take refuge
underground. There they remain and
cannot escape, but from time to time
they cause earthquakes, showing that
they have not forgotten and that they
still take their revenge upon mortals.
No one knows what really causes
earthquakes, though 1t is believed that
some distance below the earth's hard
crust there Is plastic layer in which
tides, just like those of the sea, are
set up by the attraction of the sun
and moon. The crust is strained by
these tides. and one day a part Of 1t,
deep down. gives way. Then the sur
face trembles and widespread havoc
occurs as buildings rock and fall.

Abecedarians were sect of extreme
Anabaptists in Germany during the

nicknamed because they maintained
that the holy spirit would grant the

Guiding theology, and regarded knowl-
edge even OF the alphabet as sinful.

"Roses of Old Virginia"
Praised by EnRlishman

In old Virginia there were many
kinds OF wild roses. AS soon as to.
bacco and cotton plantations were
established and houses were built
and there was time for beauty, a rose
garden was planned, laid out and
planted with native roses and the
fashionable roses of the Seventeenth
century which were brought over
from the old country.
These rose gardens are an impor-
tant and very beautiful feature of ev-
cry Colonial place. They are very oft
en- walled in, and low-clipped box
hedges formally divide the beds. The
box may be planted in most intricate
fashion, as at Mt. Vernon, George
Washington's home, or 1t may be SIM

and cut, as the new owners Of these
historic old places which were left
derelict for long after the Civil war
take great pride in restoring and
preserving their beauty and tradition.

Moons Phases

The moon has no light Of its own
to give out but shines entirely by re-
Elected light. Its phases depend on
its position relative to the earth and
the sun. When 1t is between, or near
ly between, the earth and the
sun, its unilluminated side is toward
the earth and then its phase
is new. A week after this, the moon is
in the south when the sun is setting,
its western half is illuminated and
its phase is first quarter. In another
week the moon is at its greatest an
gular distance from the sun, and the
full moon rises as the sun sets, the
whole face of the moon turned toward
the earth being illuminated by the sun.
A week after this, the moon is in the
south as the sun rises, with its east
ern side Illuminated and the phase Is
