That is pretty rough on the part/'of which the Expresaelaims to be the organ, The metropolitan looters' organ advises and demands that its party in council mutt pay the metropolitans from the city treasury and then turns around and threatens it with defeat next spring if it "entails this expense upon the city."

TUB looters' organ, Express, continues in its attempt to hold the city to a responsibility for the payment erf the metropolitans, and says: "Undoubtedly they could recover up to the time of Judge McNuU's decision and if the court decides that the apoosl bond acta as a stay of proceedings they can recover up to the time of the final decision,"

The looters* organ is driven by THE KKWS to tacitly admit that the metropolitans can sot mover after th# decree of th« superior court.

legislature to secure the passage of this infamous metropolitan police bill. What for? To overthrow local government! The liquor league secured, by an unusual and dangerous if not an illegal method, the appointment of three commissioners of their own kind. What for? That its members might not be disturbed in their violations of law and common decency! The liquor league has done and is doing ail this in the interest of the liquor traffic, and against the peaco and happiness of the home, the welfare of society and the laws of our country and yet we are asked by these two disgraceful, cowardly sheets to pay these looters for their attempt to usurp authority and ride rough shod over tinwishes and rights of tho people of the city.

For one, I am unwilling that one cent should be taken from the public treasury to pay the liquor leagues debts. Let these gentlemen walk up and nay their hirelings out of their own pockets and not attempt to shift their obligations upon the city. RKPUBUCAN.

REFORMED PRESBYTERIANS Tfee Cnarmllea «r tfe« Prakyitrtss Hy«o4 At Ptttskarg.

Fmsotrs*, P*., May 17.—'The synod of the Reformed presbyterian church assembled in this city to-day. Its proceedings will be of more than ordinary interest to the denomination as well as to others from the fact that Rev. J. K. McClurkin, of the Reformed presbyterian theological seminary of Alleghany, proposes to submit his resignation from the chair of theology and history, and it is said, that he will also leave the denomination and go mr to the United presbyterian church. He has a grievance in the fact that seven young ministers have b*en suspended for voting at a political dec! ion. Their cases are to come up before the present session of the synod and the indications are that they will be expeiled. The rev, professor baa filed A long statement with the synod bearing upon his resignation: and in this he says, among other tbioga, ••My action is the outgrowth of a candid, thoughtful investigation of the attitude of the toward thegovenimestof oar country and the illusive distinctions by which this attitude hasof late been advocated. After searching the constitutional history of the United States, after studying its christian laws, its religious customs and its supreme court interpretations h« realises that the ballot box is the place where christian convictions most be expressed if righteous laws are to send their life-giving influence through the reooblic, and is forced to the conclusion that the individual con-r'-nce of the American rilisen should be sped to decide as to the duty of casting a ballot for a righteous raler." Hie aear~ of Br. McCSurkitt has mated apt undsensation in the denomination. The synod wiU be ia session for eeveraidaye.

was made public. It was thought shi had found her life work in ministering to the poor, the and the agedip ths little town of Chappnqua, but as she married a clergyman she only enlarge* the field of her ministrations. Miss Greeley has made Chappaqua her hom« for the last ten years. During all thli time nhe has never been absent from church one Sunday. The ministei may have taken a holiday occasionally, but Mi»s Greeley never. The arrange* rnent of the flowers for the attar, the care of the altar linen, the Sundayschool, all were her particular work and care in the church. During ths summer when she has accepted in vita tions to visit friends at a distance it has been with the understanding that she should return home Sundays. Consequently Saturdays would see her en route for Chappaqua to return Monday or Tuesday to her friends.

9mn& to Put Out Fires.

In connection with the equipment fot fire protection it is recommended that a gallon pail Oiled with fine sand be always placed within convenient reach of each workman. This practice might well be followed wherev«r there is a possibility of fire starting in oils ot oil-soaked materials. There is nothing which will squelch fire in its inoipiency mora quickly and effectually than sand and there are no afteiolape in the way of water damage either*.

Velocity of the Wls on Btftfel Tower. At a late sitting of the Paris Acad* emy of Sciences M. Mascart reported that at the summit of the Eiffel tower the registered velocity of the wind during a recent gale was at one time 180 miles an hour. He remarked that, had such a velocity existed at a lower altitude every chimney in Paris would have been blown down. The wind soon took a vertical and upward direction, which be regarded aa a proof of the upward movement of the air during great depression.

Chanlng Evil Spirts

A very curious custom is that called the woman's hut, whioh prevails among aboriginal tribes of Chota some1 lera.

The women put on men's clothes, take up arms and go arhunting—not In the jungles, but in the nearest village oaat of thexru They chase pigs and fowls, take as their own everything they kill and levy blackmail from the heads of the villages for the purchase of liquor, or else they allow themselves to be bought off for a small sum of money and a pig.

Toward evening the hunting party retire to a stream, cook and eat their meal, drink their liquor and then return home, having acquitted themselves during the day in a thoroughly masculine and boisterous m&nn er.

Then the village that has been visited goes on a similar excursion to the next village east ol it, and so on to the eastern border of the district. By this sories of excursions it is supposed the evil spirit of affliction is safely conducted out of the district without offending its dignity. ..

Aye You KU*h« or-I*ft Handed! Theories aa to tho origin and cause of right handedness may be divided as follows: According to one class of theories it rests on an anatomical basis, and depends on a physical cause which exerts its influence in every one of us. According to another class, man originally had no preference for either hand, but became right-handed by conventional usages, which may or may not havo had their origin In some anatomical features.

For any theory of the first class to be satisfactory it must, first, account for difference in sensation as well as in force or dexterity secondly It must account for the occasional appearance of left-handedness and. thirdly, it must not be inconsistent with the fact that most of those who have their organs transposed—the heart on the right, the liver on tho left, etc., are right-handed. fti....^S
