THURSDAY. JULY 26, 190G. CIRCULATION INVESTIGATION DODGER. Yesterday we accepted the proposition of the Item that the three newspapers of Richmond should combine in paying the expense of an Investigation of the circulations of the respective papers. Such an investigation would be so thorough that no chance would be presented by any of the papers concerned for "padding" Its circulation, and the merchants and other advertisers of Richmond would be in a position to know absolutely what they are paying for. We expected the Sun-Telegram would fall in line with the Item and Palladium, and also agree to a rigid investigation knowing that a refusal to do so would practically be equivalent to an acknowledgement of a circulation of which it Is ashamed. To our surprise yesterday evening's Sun-Telegram contained no notice at all of this proposition. The publisher of that paper absolutely ig nored the right of the advertisers of . this city to know what they xe paying for in the way of real circulation. This attitude on the part of the publisher of the Sun-Telegram confirms a suspicion we 'have had in our minds for some time that the Sun-Telegram has lost so many subscribers owing to the competition ffom the Palladium and the Item, as to no longer rank as a first class advertising" medium. Person ally we know of several hundred subscribers 'who have' left the Sun-Telegram to 'take the Palladium, and prev sume that the Item which has . also ha a large Increase in circulation durlrag.th6.pa8t three months, can also raccunt for a few more hundreds. Bat eveathough the Sun-Telegram has loatfmanyJ hundred subscribers that is no reason it' should refuse to be party to an Investigation on the part of the advertisers' of fthls city regarding ihe circulation of our several newspapers! Briefly." the advertiser Is confronted by the following. problem: Bothfthe Palladium and the Item publish their circulation statements regularly. The Sun-Telegram refus ea to publish any statement whatsoever. The Palladium and Item have agreed to'stand equally with the SunTelegram the expense of an investlga tlon to prove whether or not any one of the papers ' concerned is lying about Its circulation. The Sun-Tele gram .by Its silence, refuses to sane tlonuhis move. In other words the Sun-Telegram apparently refuses in any way to be party to giving the ad verusers or Kicnmond a "square deal.' It is now up to the advertisers of the city to show whether or not they approve of the course of the Sun Telegram. The Palladium now as formerly, is willing to be party to any investigation the advertisers. of this city may wish to inaugurate to find out if its circulation claims are not as represented. NIGHT SCHOOLS ARE NEEDED. The Chicago police department thinks seriously of establishing night school in connection with the department and compelling patrolmen to spend one night in seven pouring over books in search of ordinary in telligence. Right now men who as plre to places on the Chicago police foree must pass an examination and unless they have a pull, they cannot expect to get an appointment if their grades are not up to the standard re quired. Some of the "Intelligence displayed by would-be patrolmen In
Chicago is indicated in the definitions given by some applicants to questions
'propounded. Here they are: HOMICIDE "Leaving a 'wife or children under 16 without a -home;" also a person committing himself;" also to ruin a person's face." PERJURY "Unjusttly defaming the character of another;" also 'trying to beat the State law." ALIBI "An additional name to a person;" also false oath " GAMING "Killing game without a license;" also "making fun of people." FELONY "A case In which a person may try tb get what is unlawfully due to him. such as money. One writer was slightly hazed as to the duty of a policeman In caring for an .Injured man. When asked to "state the duty of an officer when he finds a person seriously Injured as the result of an accident." he added tersely "arrest that person." "Carrying concealed weapons is a hold-up man." wrote another. Jerry Miller a saloonkeeper at Bris tol, Tenn.. this week received news from Wyoming that an uncle had died and left him an estate valued at $2,000,000. Miller was elated, dispatch es say, that he gave his saloon to his bartender and declared that he would never sell another drink of Hcuor In his life. But he likely will continue to be a customer, so the licuor traffic will not receive a body blow after all. There may be some significance at tached to the report that since gambl ing was "cut out" at French Lick and West,, Baden, the patronage at these resorts has fallen off greatly. Yet It was declared recently that the guests at these resorts had no Interest In the casinos operated as adjuncts. If the lid ever again is removed, bus! ness In the hotels may pick up. Russell Sage is dead, has been laid away like ordinary mortals and as soon as the contents of his will Is given to the public, Interest In the great financier will cease. It will be "skldoo" even to the memory of Russell. His hold on the people of his country was very flimsy even with his millions.

MAYOR
IITEARS UP TRUCKS gnores Injunction of the Court to Make Him Stop Work at Cleveland. TRACTION FIGHT IS ON ELECTRIC COMPANY REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION AND MAYOR TAKES DRASTIC MEASURES. Publisher' Press Cleveland, O., July 25. The Mu nicipal Traction company, recently organized to construct and operate a number of street car lines in this city on a three-cent-fare basis, , began a war on the Cleveland Electric railway company by suddenly putting a force of 600 'men at work tearing up the tracks of the latter company In Fulton street. Mayor Johnson, who Is credited with being largely interested In tne Municipal Traction company, was personally on the ground as was also Chief of Police . Kohler . and a large number of officers. Within a short time more than a' quarter of a mile of track had been torn up. Mayor Johnson said the action was taken because the Cleveland Electric Railway company refused or neglected to comply with a councllj,esolutlon requiring it to take up its tracks in Ful ton street and remove them to the east side of the street. Subsequently the mayor stated that the tracks were being removed by city employes under the supervision of the board of public service and not by the Municipal Traction company, as had at first been generally believed. Judge Ford 'in common pleas court granted an Injtnction restraining the city and'thejlvniclpal Traction company from further interference with the tracks of the Cleveland Electric Railway company in Fulton street. The Cleveland Electric Railway com pany declared the. action of the city in granting the right to tear up the tracks was a violation of its franchise rights. Tpe Injunction was served upon Mayor Johpaon personally as he was overseeing the work of tearing up the tracks. He acknowledged the service and put the document In his pocket, but told the men to proceed with their work and ignore the court's order. Quite a large amount of work remain ed to be done when the injunction waa served. Unconscious In Cell. New York, July 25. Walter K. Freeman a chemist, who was arrested at his summer home at Oscawana.

C L Hood Co., LowelL Mass, ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES New Dorp Replace m Town Thrlee Destroy ly Fire. There are some names of places In Greater New York' common enough on the modern tongue, but the origin of which Is not so generally known. New Dorp, on Staten Island, was so named by the Dutch to distinguish it from Oude Dorp (Old Dorp), the first Dutch settlement on the island, which was thrice destroyed by the Indians. Old Dorp stood to. the northwest of Fort Wadsworth, about where Arrochar now stands. Two miles to the west of the ruins of Old Dorp the persistent Dutch built their New Dorp. The northeast section of Staten Island, which until the formation at Greater New York was known as Csmtleton, and is still generally so called, takes Its name from the fact that It once formed Governor Dongan's "manor of Castleton.' Dongan -the Dongan hills are named from him was of the family of the Earl of Limerick, and the seat of the earl in Ireland was Castletown, la the County Klldare. Many of Governor Dongan's descendants still lire on Statensland, some of them occupying and owning bouses on the land of the old manor. At first Governor Dongan merely had a hunting lodge on Staten Island, and it is significant of the state of that portion of New York city at the end of the seventeenth century that at a meeting of the colonial council the governor was entered on the minutes as "absent, being engaged at bis hunting lodge on Staten Island killing bears." Bedlow'8 Island, on which the statue of Liberty stands, was purchased in 1716 by an Englishman named Bedlow, who had. amassed a large fortune in the East India trade and was an acquaintance of the then governor, the notorious Lord Cornbury. Bedlow received from Cornbury the privilege of victualing the British fleets which frequented New York. It was a most profitable monopoly, having in it great possibilities of graft Cornbury is supposed to have "stood In" with Bedlow. When Bedlow died suddenly Cornbury seized all his papers, collected all the outstanding debts due the contractor, and kept everything of Bedlow's he could lay his hands on, leaving Bedlow's widow and Children in poverty. Bedlow's island was bought and used by the con tractor while he victualed the fleets as a depot for his stores. Corlear's Hook takes its name from Jacob Corlear, the city tr-mpeter in the old Dutch 'days. Govt.nor Beekman bought it from him. The governor also bought a country-estate, the site of which is commemorated by Beekman street. The true meaning of the word Manhattan, originally 6pelled variously as Mana-ha-ta, Manhattoes and Manhat tan, is hid In mystery. It is not even certain whether it was the name of the place or of the tribe which inhabited it, or of both. The old idea that the word meant Place of Drunkenness has been catlsfactorily confuted, but what does the word mean? New York Press. Speaeer Colorm. Herbert Spencer's notions of art were very crude. Ills favorite color was what he called "Impure purple." He wore "impure purple" gloves and, find ing that the furniture was a little som ber, had a binding of "impure purple' pasted round it by a seamstress. He cut the first strip himself and showed her how to stick it on with paste. He had his vases filled with artificial flow "era. He wished to have everything bright about him and consequently enJoyed color. When It was suggested he could get that in real flowers he replied: "Booh! They would want constant replenishing!" He wanted to know why the people should object to artificial flowers in a room any more than to an artificial landscape. "Home T.lfo With Herbert SDoar." - DO YOU GET UP WITH A IAMB BACK?
