ANDOVER ADVERTISER LAWRENCE, MASS. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBERS 1903.

Ii 1EI HAS IP EXPERIEWCES. Crown on a Ceylon Plantation Which Adjoins One Owned

by Sir Thomas Llpton—Part of a Cargo of Almost

One Million Cases—Other Things Aboard — In a

Cyclone.

* A lot of tea has Just arrived in this city which lia.s had Its share of ex- periences. It was raised in Ceylon, on u plantation adjoining one controlled by Sir Thomas Llpton and entered the United States by way of Boston on a vessel that carried one of the largest cargoes brought into that port from the far East this year.

The vessel was the Schonfcls which i-leared from Calcutta, July 13, from Colombo, Ceylon July 24 and _frpm Buez canal Aug. 10. There were nearly 1,000,000 cases of tea aboard together with a mass of other things. Among the other things were gunny sacks, burlap, logs, skins, salt petre, buffalo hides, Hessian cloth. goat skills and other products of the Indian Empire, including one package of

knives and swords. The weapons were consigned to the Standard OH company, and may be used to cut the price of oil but probably will not. The tea was consigned to various cities scattered" over the continent from St. Johns, Newfounland, to San Francisco.

A cyclone struck the Schonfels Aug. 25, and as a consequence Charles Linkmeyer, one of the crew, was fa- tally injured. A frightful comber broke over the vessel and *Linkmeyer. who was on deck, Jumped into one of the ventilators. An instant later his place of refuge was carried away and thrown with great foree^gainst the ship's bulwarks. Linkmeyer was fearfully bruised and died three hours later.

He la making a canoe trip from Lawrence to New York city, having left hiH home soon after noon Aug. 12, coming to Penacook by the way of ill* Merrimack river, a distance of 70 miles. TrlHn Penacook he paddled to Contoocook, on the Contoocook river, about 11 miles, and from there he was obliged to take the train to Sunapee lake.

Again entering his little canoe, he made the-Iength of the lake, a distance of nine mils to the mouth «f Sugar river, which winds...,. .Its. way over

-many "fsttNT, "Pffplds arid* rocky' bed H* to the Connecticut river at West Clare- mont, about twenty-miles.

Mr* AHen left the river only at places where the falls made passage impotN Kible, and when obliged- to do this he had wheels to place his canoe on and hired boys to assist Him."

At Claremont he left Sugar river at the Broad street dam, and entered again at the Italian camp, near Tolles eddy, which gave him fine sailing un* til Coy's dam at West Claremont was reached, and thence clear again to the Connecticut river. He will go by this river to Long-Island Bound, and thence to New York city, after which he will return by train to his home in Iyawrence.

Many magazines and papers were strewn about the canoe, which was loaded to the gunwales. It was in deed a heavy load.

Mr. Allen said that he had been having a very pleasant time and had met with no mishaps or accidents since he started, but had his hair raised n trifle when shooting some of the rapids. At many places he had been obliged to enter the water and pull the canoe over shallow places; these, he said,* hud been mostly oti Sugar river from Sun apee lake to Claremont, He was much sunburned and tanned.

His trip, seemingly lonely, was one full of life and action, at times thrilling, while shooting some rapids, and then a pleasant quietude while under the shading branches of willows, enjoying a smoke and a mug' aiine. Mr. Allen Is not trying "u make a time trip, but to take things easy.

PLANS FOR TRIP.

A special meeting of Samuel Adams Chapter. D. A. R.. attended by about 20 members Was held Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Lewis E. Barnes, to make arrangements for the outing by the chapter to Dedham next Tuesday. It was decided to charter a special electric car to leave Methuen at 7:30 In the mornisg. This will bring the party Into Boston In time to take the 11:15 train from the South Union ststlon on the N. Y-, N. H and H. railroad for Dedham which Is only about half an hour's ride from Boston. At Deduam the party will be the guests of Mrs. Laura Went- worth Fowler at Daisy farm. Mrs Fowler Is honorary regent of the Old South chapter of Boston. The visitors will leave Dedham In time to arrive home early In the evening. An enjoyable da-v's outing Is assured and It Is sYpacted that between 40 and 50 members will be Included In the party.

ABLE TO BE WTT.

The announcement made through The American Saturday by Senator Archie N. Frost to the effect that he should not be a candidate this year for a third term settled a question which had been under discussion among Me- thuen republicans for some time. It was an Important announcement to local republicans as some of them had been given to understand that Mr. Frost would again try for the senatorial nomination. There were some republicans who favored hlrii as a candidate again this year and to these his annoucement of Saturday was disappointing. The majority of local republicans however, believe that Mr. Frost has pursued the pxpper course, considering the agreement made between Lawrence and the towns two years ago. Mr. Frost has always received a strong endorsement by Me thuen voters and his action In this' last matter will only tend to strengthen hia standing In this town.

Thecontest Is now between Messrs. Frederick and Buswelt on the republican side. Since the conference meeting last week the friends of both these men have encouraged them to continue In the contest and settle the matter in a friendly way at the polls. There has been talk of one or the other withdrawing, but as yet neither has announced this to be his Intention. Interested republicans believe a friendly contest caa be csvrried on without leaving any and reeling after the nomination.

There are aeveral democratic aspi- rants. It is said that Samuel Stevens of North Andover has decided not to enter the field. Messrs. Halley. Des- mond, Flynn and Cloutrer of.Lawrence are mentioned as candidates. It Is said that Hon. James O. Parker may file n list of delegates In Methuen so that he will be able to go Into the convention as a candidate should he ao desire.

The contest on both sides .Is one which will excite much Interest.

Another move has been made in the senatorial conteat In the 'Fifth Efcsex district by the Republicans. Laat week an effort wae made by candidates Joseph E. 'Bttswell and! George O Frederick of Methuen to toave So republicans of Me*huen decide between them so that there would be no caucus flght. This responsibility the small number of voters would not assume

It Is now given W that both Bus- well and lêdrerick are to withdraw from the field and.leave the way clear -for ■ some <Xb*r republican-, caudldai* Edwin J. Caat-o, wfao was a member of last year's house of i^resectatlveS; Is the man the republicans "are endeavoring to have take the wwiny tlon. The matter has been under ^'^ TUton academy, Tiltob consideration by him for severakdays the-coming term. and a favorable answer Is expee*<ed ' today. Mr. Castle was for many ytars one of the local water commies loners, has served as selectman and held other offices in Methuen b-rfore being elected to the legislature laat fall.

"With Mr. Castle's acceptance Messrs. Frederick and Buawell have agreed to withdraw and 'have DO can cus flght. Both are ex-representatives an! have many friends. Under these conditions a flgnt. that might leave bad feeling in the party was feared and for the sake of having harmony pre- vail at the coming election these two men have agreed to aarrinVe, their desire to go to the senate this year.

If the proposed plan Is carried out, and theê Is every assurance that U will be. Mr. Buawell will step in to take Mr. Castle's place as a candidate for representative. This has been agreed upon by the republicans who are endeavoring to bring about the change. Mr. Buawell served three years in the bouse and each year he was elected by a large majority. Mr Frederick will retire altogether ae he has a business which requires his en tire attention. When he was a candidate on Independent papers two years

Gambling In a dozen different forms Is said to be carried on at some of the Tamps at Cafflohle lake. ETxlstlng circumstances recently brought to Bgnt show the inoral standard at some of these places io be niost dlecredlt- *ble: ^ i(

Gambling has) been carried on at camps at the lake for some time, but So what extent was not known until list Sunday, when Detective George Janrwell of this city and Constable

William Love of Wtndtuvm, N. H., made a raid and brought some of tho offenders to Justice aftera descent upon several camps. One camp raid- ed was run by parties from Lynn. At the camp was found gaming imple- ments of every description. A heavy nlckle-ptated spindle, arrow shaped, whieh revolved on a circular standard, was one ot the seizures. This spindle is" used in a common gam* of chance called "Dime Luck." A large circular disk Is placed upon a table and two .players each place a 10 cent piece or other coins at any point along the edge of the disk. Then the spindle ,is placed in the center of the disk and with a stroke of the hand ismade to revolve rapidly by the keeper. The eoln at which the point of the arrow ^tops nearest wine the remain-tray piece of money for its owner. Uflr.Cardwett has this spindle at his office and' if honorably 'wdtKXl. iswsW prove an *#■ terestlng. If Illegal, game of chance. But: the paraphernalia in question Is provided with an invisible brake. This brake Is controlled by a cord, which is passed through the table and attached to the keeper's foot. By this means the keeper can gauge the speed of the spindle, causing it to stop at whichever coin he desires, thus man* lng It easy to fleece unsuspecting players.

Gambling Is not the only crime, it Is said, that has been unearthed Canoble lake. Evidence of existing Immorality were found by these am- eers, the circumstances of which were better left untold. One or two camps which were little better than brothels were cleaned out and their proprietors brought to Justice.

Mr. Car-dwell told a Sun reporter last evening that everything possible Is being done to better the conditions among the camps.

Many unprincipled persons think that when they leave the city and go Into the country they may do as they please. They usually And. however, that ths laws that protect public mor- ala In cities and large towns hold good In country hamlets as well.

life In a hospital ward.

The ailments moat frequently feigned are flta, paralysis, imbecility, pains In the chest or back,, spitting of blood, and bleeding at the nose. Some- times a leg Is twisted or retained In a peculiar position fOr a length of time, resulting In the loss of power of using it again. Some men have been known to cause a limb to swell and fester by pricking a sore with a copper wire; to cause infiltration of the air beneath the skin by running a sharp Instrument into the lung; to keep the end of a stump of amputated limb from healing by torturing means.

Phpslclans say that among those who sham a disease to avoid work, overacting is the commonest failing that leads to the detection of the. im- postors. The make-believe paralytic, though he shows no difficulty in pro- truding his tongue, will turn It trifle too mnch to one side; the spurt* ous lunatic will be much to incon- sequential in his Ideas and actions: the counterfeit deaf mute falls not only to recognize sounds, but even the vibrations of the sound waves produced by striking a resonant body on which he may be standing, to which 'a real deaf mute never Is Insensible.

Doctors says that such malingering Is but an accentuated form of the malingering seen on every hand every day; the cold that prevents a patient from seeing an unwelcome guest; the throat trouble that keeps him from delivering a speech, and the mysteri- ous complaint (frequently reported la the case of a Chinese statesman) that unfits the subject from signing official documents.

fascination, to tl» general Just why a record-preaklngrun»houl4 have such, faaclnallon, tt la difficult to detarmlne; but perhaps It is that, un- consciously, v« rsmltw that •venr mile per hour added to our high* ■fMd records Is Another evidence of, tns gradual victory of mas over that all prevadlng Inertia which it is his conslaitt eltdt&ttj .oterwti», says tnrt^»»; Bclsntlflc American.

The present /ear has witnessed ■one remarkable felts of speed, particularly In the field of the- auto- mobile. Unuueatlonally the most astonishing performance was that of Gabriel, the winner of the first stag* of (he Paris-Madrid race, who covered a stretch of 331.2 miles at an average speed of 65.25 miles per hour. To maintain such a high average over roads that are more or less hilly most necessitate extremely fast running over certain portions of the road.

Although the meet for the Gordon Bennett cup, recently chronicled In this Journal, did not witness any such high average speed as was achieved In France, the speed trials for short dis- tances were the most successful ever held. Although It Is true that the course in Phoenix park: Is an Ideal one for speeding, we must admit that Us* performance of Baron de Forest, when he lowered the world's record for a kilometer to 26 3-6 seconds, which Is equal to a speed of 86% miles per hour; is truly astonishing. No less astonishing, either, Is the record of Barney Oldfleld, made recently on an oral track, of a mile in 65 4-5 seconds, or at a rats of 64H miles an hour. . An far as we are able to ascertain, the highest speed attained by a railroad train on a trial that was properly tested by competent timekeepers. was a fraction over 00 miles per hour, so that the automobile is to-day practically as fast as the locomotive. Of.course, it is a different proposition to run a single machine capable of carrying only two persons at high speed, and to do the same thing with a train capable of carrying 300 or 400 people. The fact that nearly 80 miles an hour has been achieved by an au tomobllo proves that It la merely a question of weight and horse power before these machines will be running a trial mile at the rate of 100 miles an hour or over. Such performances, however, are merely sensational and spectacular; they'have no practical value, except so far as they may af- ford 'data to the automobile makers on the action of the more delicate and sensitive parts of, the engines when they are pushed at their utmost limit.

To a person liviag In the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania the large calm banks scattered throughout the region elicit no particular comment, as most of these banks have stood In the position they occupy to-day for several decades and arc characteristic of the field, sayB Mines and Minerals. But to persons passing through this section, notably for the first time, these Immense piles of coal end refuse excite expres- sions of Interest and usually comments as to the unslgbtllnesS of these disfigure- ments of the landscape.

However, many of these banks represent considerable wealth, as they contain large quantities of the smaller sires Of anthracite so popular among manu- facturers for steaming purposes. What are known as the small eJzes of anthracite—pea, buckwheat, rlre. barley and culm—In varying proportions are being reclaimed from culm banks, deposited In mining operations of former years.

The Weather conditions were perfect. and the absence of wind rendered, ths water as smooth as glass.

Considerable time had been given to decorating by the owners ot the boa t s pa rt let pa t i ng, and the remit was a most successful display.

AH the gayly bedecked and brilliant- ly illuminated flotilla, towed by Se- lectmen P." P. Daw's.steam .launch, moved In graceful lines over beautiful Lake Cochichewick, with Its wooded shores, the splendid picturesque effect brought admiration nud applause from the lurge assemblage of spectators.

The calchy songs by Estey, Clara and Etta Hood, three colored young- sters from this city, who accompanied the parade, proved n pleasing part ot the program, which elicited hearty plaudits.

William Sutton's summer residence al Birch': Brook. pretMy lllpmitnUed'Cor the occasion, with an anchor for a centre piece, made an attractive snow. Ing.

Nothing happened to mar the charming carnival, and the club members had many complimentary things to say for the efficiency of the boating committee:—Sam D. Stevens. James B. Robinson and Joseph Battles—who had the event In charge. i ,

' Word has been recelvtcTVt the XT. 8. treasury department, that, the commission, of which Charles A. .Conant, brother of Mrs. Frederick HurnM, Page of thl* city la a member, started homeward from England Wednesday.

The commission has been visiting Eu- ropean capitals In an endeavor to bring iihout a concerted action regnrdlng tin two of silver In the coinage of Asiatic countries and colonies. The commlsson will return from Its labors abroad prepared lo submit a report to the United Slates government and to that of China,

The American commirwkon. working In harmony with on1' appointed by Mexico, haa endeavored to Induce the several Powers Interested In International com in- i'i f, particularly that of China, tc bring pressure to bear upon that country toward the establishment of a reliable national coinage system. The two commissions worked from the same point of view, except that the American took up the relief of China from the Indemnity i're«niir , whereas the Mexican communion, having nothing to do with the In- ivm: uy, omitted that phasei of the case.

Tl.o results of the discussion seem to b« these: England France and RuBSla heliovr that a national currency should M Introduced Into China, but that it should be on tho silver basis. Russia

Jnnd France hold that the connge should j be governed by China, while England I maintains that it should be free coinage. Th? two commissions urged that it be placed n:>on a gold basis, with .limited

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period —how they can avoid pain, suffering and remove the cause.

" I suffered for six years with dya- menorrhea (painful periods), so much, so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant throe or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was duo to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated nod neglected colds and feet wetting.

41 If young rirls only realized how dangerous It la to take cold at this oritical .time, much suffering would, be red them. Thank God for Lydia

Plnkham'g Vegetable Com- pound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked, improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment and was cured a month later. I am like another person since I am in perfect health." — Miss A ONE* MILLER, 35 Potomac Ave., Chicago, 111. -46000 forfstt If original of mboM trttf mrselng •SSH/SSSMa Omitnot ftt srossosC

Dtear Sir: The cheapeet thing in the Way of sending anything over the world is a postage stomp; and the cheapest way to shed water Is paint.

Not whitewash; paint. Do yb« happen no know—It don't belong to your business to know about paint, you know—do you happen to know that most of t»ie makers of paint stuff it up with Jlme and clay. xand sand and water and air? -

They do-stuff it out In the can; but not on the house. , They make more gallons to sell or to buy; more money to pay for paint; more money to pay for putting U on; a Bood deal more momsy to pay for putting Jt on; but

more beauty; more rust; decay disappointment; loss.

LAWRENCE, MASS. FRIDAY HORNING, SEPTEMBER 18.1903.

Salem and Newburyport Stirred by Groundless Fear that Lawrence

Wants the Earth.

Old EHCX county 1B disturbed, says a Salem dispatch, and the green demon of 1* a lousy la tickled. Lawrence now has the finest court house In the county. Sa- lem court houe facilities are condemned. Lawrence Is ambitious to become the county seat of Essex county, or to estab- lish « new county In the Merrlmaclc valley. Salem thinks that It has been Riven a .back seat In county matters, so there la now trouble abend In the staid old county of Essex.

S.'lcm has long had the cream of th" court sittings In Essex county, bit Law- rence now demands It. claiming superior court facilities. Lawrence also wanta Newburyport cot off the map as a shire town, and the bones of Joppa are thereby shaken. It will tnke an act of th« legislature to change court sittings from Newburyport to Lawrence, but the Mill city politicians do not think working the legislature much of a tash. They got S250.000 for court house Improve rnents through that body, while Salem got only 9SO.0U0 for land and plans for a court houe. and then the shrewd Lawrence- ltcs got a court house addition built cost lng the full $250,000 while Salem'H $50,000 appropriation was pigeonholed, with Its petition from lawyers for an additional court house in Salem.

Is the probate court building In Sa- lon that comes In for such general con- demnation on the part of the lawyers. The building was erected In 1841. and It Still Tut* ""'before the war" conveniences besides being overcrowded. Occasionally visitors to historic Salem mistake It* court room for the room In which Judge Hawthorne tried the witches in lt£z. It Is

a dark and gloomy chamber and at Is entrance is an old-fashioned, three-hook hat-rack that might have hung in tome squire's office.

The lawyers also miss consulting rooms. When a Poston lawyer comes to Salem to close a real estate deal, he may arrange final terms and pass money and papers In Register Hale'a main office where visitors are many or he may walk around the block with his client and talk business on the way.

Consulting rooms are unknown at the registry, except by hearsay, as are private offices. When Register Hale wants to talk private business with uny lawyer at the registry he has to whisper with htm over his desk. He had to give up his private office long ago. Any lawyers wishing a cheerful chat and smoke to break the monotony of their researches

records, may retire to the furnace room In winter, or meander up* and down the lawn In summer, and either place Is likely to be hotter than the realm where lawyers expect to never go.

Rut there are greater reasons why the lawyers arc disturbed. There IM not room enough in the registry to keep the rec ords. Books are getting plied so high In Register llahoney's quarters that only six-foot lawyers are able to conveniently get at them, nnd the short lawyers are threatening to get stilts. Reglster^Halc Is in ft predicament as to the future of his records, for his office'"is" jammed fuller than a trolley car at supper hour.

Resides, there is not room enough to accommodate the clerks needed to do the work of the registry, and as a result the lawyers are much delayed.

PORCELAIW OF GERMAMY.

of Saxeny.

The manufacture of porcelain has taken deep root in different parts of Germany, according to the report ot K. L Harris, United States commercial agefil at'Brheiisiocii, says the"Washlng- ton Star. This li especially tha case In the kingdom of Saxony, wherein the cities of Malasen and Dresden produce porcelain that ii exported to almost every country In the world. Porcelain industries on a smaller scale are also to be found In Chemntti, Plauen and Aue. Ths Waldenburg district In Silesia is also noted for lta fine grade of porcelain. In Thurlngla, Bavaria, as well as In some districts on the Sear aad Rhine, porcelain Is manufactured to considerable quantities.

On* of the most noted porcelain fac- tories In Germany Is that which la oper- ated by the Saxon government at Melt- sen. It exports about 160.000 worth of porcelain goods to the United States every year. There are TOO workmen employed In the factory, and It Is worthy of note that this number has remained about the same during the past 15» years. Olrls earn, when skillful, about 75 cents a day. and the skilled workmen who can model and paint earn 12.60 a day.

There is an Industrial art school In connection with the factory, where pupils and apprentices are taught drawing for two years. When this course Is completed they pass on to the modeling and painting department for another two years. At the completion of the course the most skillful are sent to Dresden, Berlin arid other cities to study the fine arts. On their return to Melt- sen they are tare to And life employment, either In the porcelain factory of the government or In some other factory of the city.

There are four primary. Industrial schools in Saxony, namely, in Chemnltt, Dresden, Meissen and Zwickau. The number of pupils at present In all four schools Is 241. These pupils are all apprentices, who are compelled to spend four years In learning their trade, and four months each year are spent In some one ot these industrial schools.

According to Ootheln's Deutsche Ans- senhandel. In 1900 Oermany exported 96,649 tons of white china ware and painted porcelain Roods to foreign countries, valued at tO.tOO.tOO. The United States Is far In advance of all other countries in buying china from Oermany. Im- porting 10,4(3 tons, or 20 per cent, of the total exports. Great Britain holds second place. Importing only K.782 tons.

In 1900 Germany Imported from France. Austria, Hungary and Japan, 766 tons- of porcelain ware, valued at: t30&y 400.

"Shoplifters never take a vacation," said the superintendent of a big department store up town, relates the New York Times. "Like tho poor, they are always with us. We are not obliged to employ as many detectives now as during the holiday season, of course, but even In the hottest weather they cat an Important figure on our payroll.

"The adage about the playful mice and the cat applies to this department store during the hot weather as much as It does to anything. The working stalf Is reduced, girls have more coun- ter room to cover, and there are just as many small articles, though perhaps not of BO great a value, as during the holiday season. Shoplifters cannot have so many pockets in their light summer gowns as they can in winter, and any woman with a cloak would at once excite suspicion; but these wrist bags that are so much In vogue and the baskets made of' grass that so many women carry for light marketing give* the woman thief all the opportunity she wants.

"In summer we generally give some of the girls on the staff who have been with us two or three years a chance to see what they can do at detective work. Many young women are convinced that they are horn detectives. Just as others believe they are born actresses. Wong- en are the best for this sort of work, because they can hang around the coul- ters watching suspects where a man would arouse suspicion. Store detectives get much more pay than salesgirls, and we have more applications every year than we are able to gratify. But If.a girl shows any adaptability at all she Is allowed to have a trial. If she makes good she gets a chance In the (all. If not, back to the mines, so to speak.

He first lived In a house near the hay scales, and In the block now vacant, which stands next to Phllbrlck and Pope's he car. rie,i on his business, leasing the house for five years. This he carried or as a boarding htuse, and after a sue cessful five years he bought the Marshall House, which stood on land adjoining the present Lincoln House. In the spring of '64 Mr. Wardwell built the Lincoln House, and for about 20 years conducted this hotel, which was the largest In Swampscott for a good many years, and which attracted every summer hundreds of lovers of the sea from all parts of the country. In 1882 he retired from active partici- pation In the business management pf the house and turned the conduct of affairs over to Ms sons, Stephen H. Wardwell. Jr., and Robert B. Wardwell, who have alnce controlled it. Under their management It has been extensively repaired and remodeled In recent years, and today is well known throughout the country.

Mr. Wardwell worked with his father on the farm at Andover until he was 16 and during the next 10 years traveled extensively arid gained much experience as a fisherman. Two years alter he went to Swampscott he married and now has two sons and three daughters, who are living In Swamp. scott, with a single exception. His sons, as before mentioned, are .proprietors of the Lincoln House, Robert B. and Stephen, Jr. His daughters are Mrs John G. Stanley, whose husband Is the owner of the "Oakland*,' Mrs. Curtis V. Merrltt, living at 44 Mountain avenue, and Mrs. B. B Buck of Newton Centre.

Trer* is able to state definitely that It is due to the king's determination not to assent to the formation of a new cabinet until thoroughly satisfied that Its personnel and combination is such as to insure the efficient carrying mi of the affairs of flie "Empire pending the re- sumption of parllamnt.

For years previous, cablneta were formed, or ministerial vacancies filled, with the mere formal presentation to ihs ". sovereign of the names of the new mln. lsters. King Edward has done away with this tradltton. Ho has spent the last few days In constant discussion with Mr. Balfour as to the advisability from the point of view of national wel, fare, of the latter*s suggested appoint- ments. Ministers now holding office and those nominated for ofllce have been summoned to Balmoral to join in these conferences and all have been subjected to a degree of Intrrogatlon such as ha* surprised even those who knew King Edward Intimately as prince of Wales.

King Edward has not shared the keen public Indignation against Lord Lans. downc, aroused by the report of the South African war commission, and after a minute examination of the commit.. Rloners. he Is said to have consented to his lordship continuing as foreign mln later. This decision luis not prevented his majosty from frankly tolling the mitt. inters that he wanted something dont. to improve the military muddle and that he hoped some man would be appointed who, with the commissioners' report as n basis, would be capable of changing the system which rendered Inefficiency unavoidable.

The question of having some general. notably Lord Kitchener, as head of the war office, has been kceiUy,«tll»c*w>gind at B"aTmori\T"between' tfie'klng and the ministers, but the Associated Press ' under. stands that the concensus of opinion was that such an appointment would be in- terpreted as a modified form of military illctatorshln which the public would never sanction.

In the meantime every detail of the negotiations for filling up the vacancies in thn cabinet Is submitted to the king. who for the lime being has transformed Balmoral Into a political center of the empire, from which, owing to the un.

a degree of Interrogation such as har prises may emanate. Whatever the ra. suits may "be-, the can safely be attributed to a large extent to tho king's In. terest In the crisis.

Boston, Sept. 23—Nothing that occurred during the primary elections of yesterday was the cause of so inucn comment as the attempt of Judge Emmon, chairman of the police board, to P'Jt members of tho police behind the guard rail in various polling places.

The police chairman was ■ active yes. terday morning. He visited the office of the election commissioners before day- light, but djjfl not attempt thero to Inter- fere. When the polls we're opened In precinct on© of ward eight, the strenu- ous police chairman was there. He oame

lth a rush,, walkod nervously about, and through his glasses watched tho constant stream of democratic \oters.

A sturdy policeman, who was on duty i his proper place outside the booth,

was summoned Into the room and or. dcred to take his place Inside the guard rail. The officer obeyed orders.

Having1 inspected- precinct one. Chair- man Emmons went to precinct two, and there ordered another officer inside the rail while democrats were voting.

The alert democrats In ward eight then began to act. A message was sent to til" board of election commissioners, notifying them that policemen were be. hind rails and had refused to leave. Commissioners Mlnton and Burlen took

cab and proceeded at once to a polling place. They found the policeman Inside the rail and learned that he waa there by Emmons' orders. Reading the law to him was of no use, and so the police chairman was called upon at his office.

To him the election commissioners read the law as follows from chapter 11, sec. tton 311 of the statutes:

'No poraon except the election officers, supervisors, and voters - ad. mltted for the purpose of voting, shall, during, the progress of tin election and until the public declaration of tho vote, be permitted within the guard rail, unless authorised by the election officers tor the purpose of keeping order and enforcing the law.'* Chairman Emmons heard and heeded,

recognized there was a tlaw that even he could not order violated, and directed the «us>rtg4fndgnt pi, police, to remove the police from Inside the guard rail" -'' th polling places.

A prominent democrat, in discussing the affair, said today: ''No more, open attempt to Intimidate voters was ever known In Boston than that begun by Judge Emmons yesterday. The police have no right Inside the rait, and tfn chairman of the police board, a lawyer and an ex-Judge, must have tinown It. That such work wan promptly stopped Is to tho credit of the election controls, sloners." —Boston Traveler.

The Blue Stockings who have

Rev. Dr. Barnes, pastor of the Con- gregational church, North Andover, delivered an eloquent and admirable discourse, Bunday morning, to a large congregation. Hla text was the sixth commandment, Ex. ao-13— Thou shall do no murder."

The reverend gentleman said. In part:

"I trembfe 'for my country when 1 remember that God Is Just." These words- ace- atlrlhuted_ to Thomas Jef- ferson. Whether he uttered them or not they are significant .for this

■present time, , This sermonla preached e*t the request (Indirect) of the President of the United States. Aiter a series of riots, murders and suicides reported In the summer, the President wrote a letter to the governor of In- diana commending him for the bold stand he took against murderous proceedings In Evansvllls of that state. In that letter the Preeidetvt called upon the clergy and others to give attention to the menace which such a state of things surely la to civilisa- tion, the republic and all that Is dear to ua.

Here are a few figures: On Amer- ican railroads In three recent years, 21,847 persons were killed. In the Boer war 22,000 persons Were killed. The murders"In three years in the United States were 31.39R. nearly half as many again as perished by raii- oad accidents or by war. On all

railroads 7,282 a year; the murders, Including suicides. 10,465 a. year.

But the topic today is murder by lynchings. Many reasons are given for this crime, but the main, general. underlying reason »a contempt for law and disregard of liuman life In this country. This states the disease— lytifhlng with the rest are but symptoms. Cheaper human life In the thought of the people and mobs of apy -*>rt. race riots. labor riots or lynching multiply. Contempt of law and disregard of human life are anywhere and always the destruction of civilization and ultimate ruin for the state.

Nobody denies the facts. Now the question comes: What to do about it?

Our first thing to do Is to apprecl ate the crime of assaults upon women which causes so much lynchig. ,I*et UP, however, mind the fact that more than half the lynchings have been for other than the crime mentioned, and Judge Lynch holds court more or less all over this country. The cry "lynch him" rises easily from an angry gathering of people making up I mob whatever the cause of the disturbance. The South complains that the clergy and others are silent about the crime causing lynchings. There is no good reason for such a complaint The papers faithfully record the hor- rors. I read In a Southern paper that "thousands of families where ther* are wives and daughters have aban- doned their farms and moved to town for police protection afraid stay on the farm. No white woman dares travel the public highway alone, In many sections neither the life nor the honor of woman Is safe."

This is bad enough. This state of things cannot be contemplated, with out horror. Laws against this crime cannot be too severe or have too quick execution In any part of the land. Legislation must provide against th delays of the law, the defeat of Jus- tice through sheer technicalities and must provide also that unless the trial judge gives certificate that there Is probable cause for appeal, no appeal be allowed. For my own part I confess 1 cannot see that murder brings as much hor.-or to the home, society, the ■stsAe-.-as does taia—at- rocious, nameless crime.

BUt we must appreciate the lynching*. They are the most savage sight the sun looks down upon. All things considered nothing is more horrible In the troubles in the Bast. There Is wider opportunity In deed In the dls tant countries, but lees claim to clv- IHxatlon and decency. Lynching Is called quick Justice, It is simply sav- agery. It Is not only hanging, but slow torture by fire or if not that. slashing with knives and riddling with bullets while the hanging proceeds.

What shall we say then of the lyncher In Alabama or Illinois, In Georgia or Massachusetts?

The lynching mob always tnclude* leading citizens. Nevertaalecs every lyncher is a murderer. It will suf- fice to quote Justice Brerwur of the United States Supreme court. , He «ald last summer: "Every man who takes part in the burning or lynching of a negro Is a murderer. • • • It Is "my opinion that no oh-cumatanres whatever can change the 'Classifica- tion of the crime—it Is nothing

been than murder. Any man who i

his fellow otherwise than In defence of himself or his pioperty or takes part In the hanging or burning of a negro Is guilty or murder." Take notice Judge Brewer could not use those.words In a community where a lynching had occurred and be safe, j Lynching has become a contagion. Let a motorman or conductor be ev- J Ideiitly.ixt XaulL for a lalal-accident! on a trolley line and you will bear from the crowd gathered the blood- curling cry "Kill him!" "Lynch hlml" No lynching In New England yet. Who knows when there may be?

The crying need of today Is a public sentiment m favor of regard for human life; In favor of law and Its en- forcement; in favov of express con- demnation of lawlessness and of the widespread disregard of human life, BT_ shown by^mufdera^.siticliies .and murderous lynchings.' The danger of the present state of things cannot be overestimated or have too much thoughtful attention. With reason this whole country is In dally dread of another, added to our hideous list of assassinated Presidents, God save the mark! Not the , professed an- archists alone are at fault for the dan1

ger human life Is In from the Presi- dent down; it Is the-feeble, wavering public sentiment, as to the value of human life and the worth- and ma- Jest*- of law. North as welt as South you hear much comment and thought less statements that show this.

There is too much liberty of speech and of the press when to any extent both make attack upon law, the fam ily. the church and the Institutions of government. There Is no liberty without definite law, only license, riot, an- archy, bloodshed and final crash for society and all we hold dear.

But I have mentioned so far only hqman law and human contempt for It. What of Divine tew? What of God the lawgiver? Here we go to the bottom of the explanation of the case. There is no God to be feared is much the sentiment now. Any fear of His personal disfavor; of His ret- ribution, is laid aside, a mouldy cast off Idea.

This is the trend that bodes no good for the Republic- In all reason and common sense I ask does not God sit in Judgement upon the lyncher, the rioter, the destroyer of human peace and human life?

We need more of God, the right- eous as well as loving, the Just si well as merciful God and less of phil osophical philanthropic explanatory theories about God. . A Boston doily had these significant words one day recently: "The menace of modern governments is the decline of Chris- tllan faith, the Increasing belief that death ends all. Men who see life beyond the life which now Is are aslly tempted to irresponsible, sor

did and mSterlallstio' views. . The habit of denying everything is fruit- ful, in smashing everything-"

When the EltotU and Prltchetts and Hadleys and a great host of lesser teachers in our universities and other Institutions begin to give the world some thoughts on its need of God as well as of a Harvard or Yale or Tech education—well they may have*s> few lev« students and from some quarters a few less millions of money, but they would do better their part well as .they do it now, "toward making deep,

Masting sentiment In'fator of law and order and of putting high estimate upon human life.:. ,. ;. "...„

I cannot do better than give In conclusion a brief quotation from Dr.-Ly- nn an Abbott In an h<sue of the Out- look in August: "Lawlessness has Its spring In the home, the school, the church. There Is now law In our home;

thorlty "which can administer pen- alty Is banished from our schools and pupils are allured to studies which were once required of them, and won

good conduct to considerable extent by rewards of merit, Instead of being educated In righteousness. In the pulpits of the church, for the Fatherhood of God as Jesus Christ taught it Is substituted the Grand- fatherhood of God."

We are thankful for such words from the "Outlook" although compelled ■ to think that some of its former teach- ings have tended to bring about the state of things depreciated. Certainty the words now quoted are true

Still our motto shall be, "Never d s- palr of the Republic." Help fellow citizens to bring back a wholesome fear of God. Never soy of lawlessness in murder, suicide or lynrhings— never say an exculpatorv word oi any word that tends to let down Jhe laws of man or the subllrne. loving law of God.

For the Wth lime the Andover theolo- gical seminary has opened Its doors for 'another year of Instruction. During the coming months nrny prominent presch-. ers will occupy lite pulpit at the chapel, among whom will be the Rev. Dr. Ric- hards of New York. Gordon of Boston. ''odnsn of Brooklyn, Hsle of New York, Eaton oi Uelolt, Wisconsin, and Seney of Itreoklyn. It Is expected by the facu- ttlty, that a large number of students will be In attendance this year which Is highly gratifying.

President Charles Cuthbert Kale. D. ■>., of Union Seminary, New York and President Edward D. Eaten, D. D., of Reloit College will deliver what known as the "Southwnrth lectures upon organized church work.

A valuable addition to the faculty has been accomplished during the past year by the election of Dr. William R. Ar- nold of New York city as Hitchcock professor of Hebrew. i

The Seminary proposes to celebrate, on Oct. 5, the Moth anniversary of the birth of Jonathan Edwards. The special fit- ness of holding this celebration at An- dover will be generally recognised. Ed- wards is preeminently the theologian of Arrterlcon Congregationalism and An- dover Is the oldest and most famous Congregational school of theology.
