Prof. Ernest Rutherford, a noted British scientist and educator who a short time ago was awarded the "Elliott CresBon" medal by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, was born in Nelson, New Zealand, August 30, 1871. His education was received principally at the New Zealand university and lat Cambridge university, England. In )1898 he was appointed Macdonald 'Professor of Physics at McGlll university, Montreal, which position he filled 'for about ten years. At present he holds the professorship of physics in Victoria university, Manchester, Englang. Professor Rutherford is noted specially for his work In the advancement of the knowledge of electrical i theory. He Is the author of numer- ' jous papers on the subject of radio-ac-i tivlty. In 1903 his researches and i writings dealing with the various 'branches of physical science were j recognlzesd by his election as a FelJow of the Royal Society. Why She Couldn't Accept. Telephone operators who plug wrong numbers or get the wires crossed sometimes are responsible for very embarrassing situations, as -was- exemplified by a broker in this city the other morning. The broker called up his borne number and said to the person on the other end of the wire: "Hello, dear. Is that you 7" "Yes," replied a sweet toned voice. "Well, I've been thinking about you . all morning. 1 want you to come downtown and meet me for lunch, and we'll go to a show this afternoon." "Well, that would be very nice," replied the person on the other end, "and I should deaily love to do so, but my husband Is home, and I'm afraid he'd object. Don't you think you've got the wrong number?"- Philadelphia Times. ' Weight of Atmosphere. Atmosphere Is the name applied to the gaseous envelope that surrounds the globe. It consists of a mechanleal union of nitrogen and oxygen In the ratio of four to one, together with a relatively small amount of carbonic add gas and a little water vapor. Its thickness is about fifty miles, although it probably extends In an attenuated form as far as 500 miles.' This is in- , ferred from- the observation of luminous meteors. . It exerts , a pressure ,of fifteen pounds to the square inch i at the earth's surface and weighs over ' eleven and a half trillions of pounds. I Each adult inhales one gallon of air per minute and consumes thirty I ounces of oxygen daily. An ordinary gas jet consumes ai much oxygen as five persons. The Scoffer.

Police Protection in Richmond Is the Richmond police force efficient? Has the department enough me a to give protection? Are the tax-payers of Richmond getting their share of protection in proportion to the amount of taxes collected? " Why have the parties guilty of the murderous attack on Sunday morning not been apprehended? Why were the Italians that were implicated in the attack released? These are the questions that are being asked. If Supt. Gormon has not enough men in his department to give the city efficient service and the appropriation for that department is exhausted It Is high time that immediate action be taken to give him sufficient funds with which to work. The protection of life and property the citizens have a right to demand from the city administration. It is commendable to have an economic policy but when that policy Is carried out to the detriment of protection of life it should be the subject of serious consideration. Supt. Gormon has repeatedly asked for an additional appropriation for bis department, but each time has met with a refusal on the grounds that the city could not afford it. This condition should not exist. If the police department, requires a certain amount of money to give proper protection it should have the first consideration and should be the flist appropriation from the funds of the city. The police department was given a test of its efficiency Sunday morning when a gang of drunken Italians made a murderous attack on two Americans while they were returning to their home, and yet the guilty parties have not been apprehended. Miller and his son who were the men attacked have positively identified three of the gang of eight who were taken to headquarters for examination but when pressed for sufficient evidence for their conviction the department claimed they did not have it, consequently the gang was released and the chances of locating the guilty parties are now exceedingly scarce. It seems that while the department was rounding up the gang of eight, the two men supposed to be guilty took their leave and departed from the city post haste. When the final examination was made on Monday the facts in the case were brought out after it was too late to head' off the two that had escaped. This condition is indeed serious and if the city does not exhaust every effort to apprehend the guilty parties and punish every man that was implicated in the murderous attack it will have other trouble along the same line and only stimulate crime in this locality. We believe this condition is serious enough to have a special session of council to consider the matter if necessary, if the police department has not sufficient funds let the city appropriate enough to secure ample protection to citizens and tax-payers. We do not believe the responsibility for this condition of affairs lies

with Supt. Gormon as he has done well considering the handicap under which "he is working. The patrolmen at night, when the protection is most needed have too much territory to cover. If trouble is reported the matter is allowed to rest until the first patrolman reports and then he is sent on foot to the seat of the trouble. If help is needed from the police department it is usually wanted immediately. Other cities of the size of Richmond have motorcyclemen who are at headquarters all night to answer emergency calls. t It would not be a great expense for the city to buy one or two or perhaps three motorcycles and then divide the men so that at least one man can be at headquarters all night to answer calls and attend to emergencies. One man with a motorcycle could cover the territory of three or four men on foot and cover the ground much better. We believe the police situation in Richmond Is one for serious consideration and 'that the city should exert every possible effort to apprehend the parties guilty of the murderous attack on Sunday morning. If the parties directly responsible for the crime cannot be located now, get the others who were implicated and send them up for their share of the crime. In this way the city would soon put a stop to such occurrences. If this matter goes without punishment, Richmond will have more trouble and perhaps much more serious. Let's remedy the trouble immediately.

JUDGE SUES MAYOR SEIDEL FOR SLANDER

(National News Association) MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 30. Suit for $50,000 has been begun by Judge F. E. Eschweiler against Mayor Emil Seidel. Judge Eschweiler declares the mayor made slanderous statements against him during the last political campaign and intended to injure his reputation. DIDN'T GET IT RIGHT. He Thought He Was a Student of Human Nature, but He Wasn't. "On this trip in," said the car conductor about 11:30 o'clock at night, "we'll begin to pick up the beaus. They commence leaving their ladyloves about 11 o'clock. I've seen so many of them get on the car that I've got so I can tell who has said a loving goodby and who has bad a scrap with her. It's in the way they pay their fare." The car stopped, and a young man stepped aboard. "There's one," continued the conductor. "I'll get his fare and then come back and tell you how I think he got along with his ladylove." The fare was collected, and the conductor returned to the man with whom he had been talking. "They had a fight," he said. "I'd al most bet she told him to go and nevei return. Ob, I'm a student of humai. nature, you bet you!" Just then another fellow boarded tht car. He sat down by the "beau." "Why, hello, John!" the new passen ger said. "How are the wife and ba bies?" "All well but the youngest girl," was the reply. "I'm going down to the drug store now to get her some cough medicine." The conductor went to the other end of the car and stayed there as much as he could. Denver Tost. IN HISTORY" '

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A Nye."

"NO. It was a busy Saturday afternoon i a large department store. It was c warm day and not enough clerks prop erly to take care of the customers. Commissioned to buy some buttons. I was directed to the proper place. After waiting some time a floorwalker spied me. He yelled harshly: "Here, No. 4!" No. 4 shambled around the counter with a distinct frown on her face. Listlessly she showed me what I wanted. While I waited for my little pack age and the change an interval which seems long to the masculine shopperother customers appeared. No. 4 waited upon them mechanically. Indeed, once she was a little snappy in her answer to a question. What was the matter? The girl no doubt was tired and worn. It had been a hard day, butSupposing the floorwalker instead of bawling our "Here, No. 4!" had approached the gfcri and said gently, "A customer at the button counter, Miss Smith." Might not the girl have been less sullen nay, cheery or evementhusiastic? She was treated as if she were a mere machine. Her individuality was ignored. That hurts. Why should not a machine respond mechanically? Why should a flesh and blood woman whose personality Is trampled upon make womanly efforts to please? Why? Commercialism in that store was defeating its own purposes by refusing to recognizefthat No. 4 was an individual -to be called by name and not a convict to be summoned by a hateful number. Every 60ul is from God. And each soul is unlike another. That constitutes individuality. That is the stamp of the divine. And God differentiates, lie treats with separate souls Individually. He recognizes per sonality. On the other handMan herds humans as if they were cattle and numbers them as if they were sheep. Toor No. 4! She is onlv one of the manv whose self respect is trampled upon because they are in somebody's pay. LABOR MEN BEFORE ROYAL COMMISSION Union Leaders Present Facts Which Led to English Rail Troubles. (National News Association) LONDON, Aug. 30. Labor and capi tal were placed on trial together Monday for the first time in English history. The occasion was the first open hearing held by the royal commission appointed to investigate the causes of the recent railroad strike. Representatives of the Unions were the first heard at the hearing in West minster. They presented in forceful terms the facts that led to the walk out, advancing voluminous statistics to support their claims that railroads in the United Kingdom paid starvation wages and united to keep their employes in a state of economic sub jection. It was shown that the average wage of trainmen is about $7 per week and, that there has not been an increase in ten years whereas the cost of living has gone up to a great extent in that time. Ha Knew How It Was. James' mother is one of those unfortunate individuals who "pick up' unconsciously every error in speech that they hear. This failing is a source of much amusement and com ment in her family, as are also the habitual and glaring mistakes of Mrs F.. a very estimable acquaintance. One day James' mother had been out and upon her return committed a grave offense against the mother tongue. Immediately little James con fronted her, with upraised forefinger. and exclaimed in accusing tones. "Now, mother, you have been playing with Mrs. F. again!" Delineator.

V Is the cause of nine tenths of thu ills, which the human body is afflicted. The symptoms of which range from the dreaded 'contagious blood poison to the minutest eruption on the skin. They Include rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, ecsema, erysipelas, pimples, bolls, ulcers, running sores. Inflamed eyes, and enlarged glands down to sick headache and a muddy or sallow complexion. The prescription of Dr. Simpson, (the noted blood Specialist of Richmond, Ind.) known as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound, is the most powerful alterative, or blood purifier, ever known. Its reputation was firmly established a few years ago, by curing apparently hopeless cases, was certified by county and city officials, and widely noted by the press; since which thousands have been relieved by its use. Good blood invariably means vigorous health, and appetite, good digestion, strength, and a clear, healthful complexion. This is assured to all who try this remedy; its remedial effects are apparent with the first few doses.

Dr. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is purely vegetable, and Is harmless as it Is effective. It Is put up in convenient form at one dollar per bottle and is sold at all drug stores.
