Matt Steyn, rcting as spokesman of

ran the risk of confiscation of their

Wh Pleased Audience.
From Saturday's Daily.
The comedy, "A Trip to China
town," was given at White's opera
house last evening to about a ball u
house. The company, without a
doubt, is the b!t that has ever ap
peared in this city, and kept the au
dience in an uproar of laughter
throughout the play. Harry Gilfoil
is certainly a sttr. His imitations
were simply immense. In fact every
member of the company is an artist
and their specialty work was great
The singing was a great deal better
than is usually heard with a farce
camnanv. while the Cakewalk and
other tffcucing was good.
The company was deserving of a
crowded hou, but it is supposed the
prices were a little too stiff for the
people.
Remembered Tbelr Leader.

The members of the B. & M. band,

bored incessantly to bring the band up
to its present high standard and this
fact is appreciated by the members
He is highly pleased with the gift.

Money Damages Rea-overeu
The love of wayside tree3 is strong
among Americans. It has a practical
as well as a sentimental side. A city
or village In which the street trees
are numerous, well kept and beautiful
is more attractive to investors, to de
sirable residents and to locating man
ufacturers than a t.tel ss lown. or one
in which the trees are :u ected.
There are some officials supposed
to be practical who are not lealiy prac
tical encuf h to gee this fact. They do
not see ai.y i:.trj.-diate value In a tree
aside frcn its ue as tirrfber or fuel.
It must Le tu; down to be worth any
thing. In a Pennsylvania town, lately,
the borough officials cut down a row
of shaa Lie-- oa a certain street in
order to rt:ct the curb. No doubt
they acttd tio:n a sens-? of duty, but
they learned when th owner of the
estate alone; vhich the sacrificed trees
extended sucri th:m. and recovered
money damas?s against them for the
destruction of the trees that they had
misapprehended their duty.
In another case, In the same state, a
gentleman has been awarded substan
tial damages for the destruction of
trees along a country road by a tele
phone and telegraph company which
had received authority to put up its
wires. The employes who cut them
down were also fined $50 each, after
a criminal prosecution.
These decisions are in the right di
rection. Let- the fact be recognized
that wayside shade tree3 are danger
ous things to . touch hurtfully. Not
only are they a part of the property
of the people who live alongside them;
every mm, woman and child in the
community has an Interest in them.

DEATH RATE DECLINING.
Longevity of the Human It. tee
Is In-
creasing Year by Year.
From Leslie's Weekly: All who hope
and believe that the conditions of hu
man life throughout the world are
gradually improving will find practical
support for their hope and belief in
an address recently delivered before
the British Medical association by its
president. Dr. Ward Cousins. Among
other things Dr. Cousins discussed the
future progress of preventive medicine
and predicted a steady and great de
cline in the death rate in the coming
century. For the realization of this
great object he locked, above aJl, and
lightly looked, to an improvement in
the conditions and in the dwellings of
the working classes. And he was es
pecially right in pointing out that this
Improvement cannot come from mere
legislation. "The great mass of the
people must become willing and active
helpers," he said, and in equally true
words he showed how largely the pre
vention of suffering and the preserva
tion of health are within the resch of
the working classes in our great towns
If they will only cultivate temperance
and cleanliness. In this connection
we are gratified to observe the action
of the New York health board in dis
tributing among the people a circular
setting forth in clear and simple lan
guage various easy methods to be ob
served for the prevention of disease,
the spread of epidemics rind some
i sound advice generally In regard to
healthful living. This is practical
service for the public good and it vrill
undoubtedly be successful to mateiial
degree in a further decrease of the
mortality rates.
PHOTOGRAPHS AS PROOFS.
They Are About as Conclusive as Figures
"That Never Lie."
"Speaking of freak photographs,"
said an old newspaper man, "reminds
me of a singular little incident. About
three years ago, if you remember, a
story went the rounds of the papers
that a flying machine had been seen
maneuvering in the air at a number
of different places in the middle west.
Some of the reports seemed to be well
authenticated, and it was certainly
strange that the same yarn should
come from so many widely separated
points. One day while the thing was
being generally talked about, a certain
big Journal received a photograph from
a town in Nebraska showing an enor
mous cigar-shaped machine caught in
the top of a huge oak tree. According
to the story that accompanied the pic
ture the aerial navigators had at
tempted to lsnd and fell foul of the
oak. There v.as no doubt as to the
genuineness of the tree in the photo,
and it was at first thought that the
machine had been 'painted in,' which
is an old trick with pictorial fakers.
When an expert was called in, how
ever, he declared positively that the
picture had not been doctored, and on
the strength of his opinion a reproduc
tion was printed. How the trick was
done afterward leaked out. It seems
the photographer first took a separate
picture of a small pasteboard model of
a flying machine, which was only about
a foot long. One of the beauties about
photography is that you can make
everything the same size, end the
photo of the model was as big a3 the
photo of the tree. The model was then
cut out of the picture with a pair of
scissors and pasted on top of the
branches of the oak, and a aew photo
graph was taken of the combination.
It was the most deceptive-looking job
I ever laid my eyes on." New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
OLD MAP OF JEROSALEM.
One Found In the Itrltlnh Muoeuni Lo
cating Scenes In the Life of Christ.
The exact location of the historic
scenes before and after the crucifix
ion has at last been definitely identi
fied by a map recently found among a
lot of musty MS3. in the British Mu
seum. The discovery has excited the
utmost interest among Bible scholars
in England and on the -Continent.
Where was Calvary? Where was the
Coenaculum, or place of the Last Sup
per? Where was the Temple of Solo
mon itself? These and similar ques
tions have puzzled the students of the
Bible for many centuries in fact, ever
since the destruction of the Temple by
the Romans in the first century. Ex
peditions have been sent out to dig,
men have devoted their lives and their
wealth to the solving of these ques
tions, so vitally interesting to all
Christendom. Today the latest book
on the subject cannot state absolute cer
tainty even -.vl.c:e Calvary was. Canon
Tristram tays in his widely published
volume on IliV.o pl.ces: "Historians,
archaeologist? and divines have been
exercis-ed over the site of the crucifix
Ion and of the Hciy Sepulchre. If the
Church and the Holy Sepulchre be
within the second wall it cannot have
been the scene cf the crucifixion of
Him Tho suffered without the gate,"
etc. Guesses without end have been
and are still !-?in mi;le about the
sites of all cf '!:-? ?-t(ved scenes. This
map, hov.tT?r. which lates back to the
seventh cer.t'iry. shows every irrpor
lant place in Palestine and in Jerusa
lem. Of ccurse, this is not the first
century, but when it is considered that
its author was more than twelve hun
dred years nearer the destruction of
Jerusalem than we. it is easy to see
how valuable his r:i;.p becomes, filled,
as it Ig, with the fresh traditions of
his day. The map and its rude draw
ings were made by Marino Sanudo, the
elder, a Venetian noble who made five
Journeys to the Kn-t for the purpose
of perfecting hi; maps. The aim of
Sanudo was to arou-e Christendom for
a crusade against the Moslem Invaders
who had taken possession of Jerusa
lem In 636 under the leadership of
Khalif Omar. The care with which
Sanudo's maps were drawn to scale Is
shown by the eighty-one equal spaces
Into which the leneth of Palestine is
divided, and the twenty-three spaces
in width. What his units of measure
ment were is not yet knowu, but the
proportion Is in close correspondence
with modern surveys. Many of the
identifications of historic spots, such a3
the scenes of the various battles, the
tombs of prophets and kings are im
provements upon the maps of our day.
The disposition of children largely
depends upon health. If they are
troubled with worms, they will be ir
ritable, cross, feverish, and perhaps
seriously sick. White's Cream Ver
mifuge is a worm expeller and tonic to
make them hoilthy and cheerful.

Dublin Visited by a Cyclone.
Dublin, Ireland, was visited by a
regular cyclone recently, which did a
ood deal of damage in the city. The
cyclonic character of the storm may
be judged by the marked cour3e it took,
passing over a narrow breadth. In one
street the driver of a hearse was blown
off his seat, and onl;' for some people
holding on to the hearse it would have
been over with the coffin. As it was,
some of the mourning coaches were
capsized, as were several cabs in the
street. A number of houses were blown
down, and roofs taken off by the
Btorm, which was one of the most se
vere ever experienced in Dublin.

SCORPION BY MAIL.
Animal IIal Craw 'eft In the Pamphlet
while at Jamaica.
A few days ago C. G. Lloyd, the bot
anist, received through the mail a
pamphlet issued by the botanical de
partment of the colonial government
of the island of Jamaica. Upon re
moving the wrapper and strafghtening
out the folds of the pamphlet there was
disclosed the remains of a deadly scor
pion. It is characteristic of this ven
omous insect to seek a hiding place in
anything of tubular shape which will
give it the opportunity of crawling to
the far end of Its castla and there
awaiting the char e of giving some
unsuspecting pcrccn a glimpse of the
River Styx. In this case the scorpion,
while prowling around among the mail
sacks in the Kingston postoffice, dis
covered the pamphlet and immediately
crawled into the opening. Unfortu
nately for "his scorpionship," or fortu
nately for feme mail clerk, the pam
phlet was placed under a pile of mail
matter in the sack, with the result that
the insect was flattened out. Mr. Lloyd
saw in an instant the nature of the
foreign corpse, and wisely put It aside
until he held an inquest. Like an In
dian, the only good scorpion is a dead
one, and net even a hardened coroner
would dare to sit on one if the thing
showed evidences of playing 'possum.
The weight on this scorpion was so
heavy that his tail took the familiar
curve It assumes when the business end
is ready to go to work. The "stinger"
is forced out to its full length. Mr.
Lloyd says that this is only an in
stance of how injects are accidentally
transmitted from one part of the world
to another. The accompanying danger
is correspondingly great to those who
handle the mail matter. Cincinnati
