POSTAGE PREJ’AI D.
Only One Coupon.
. Asa large number of GAZETTE read-
ers have the mistaken idea that it is
. necessary to bring six coupons of con-
secutive dates before they can obtain a
portfolio of “The World and Its Peo-
ple by Sunlight,” we have concluded to
change the number of coupons to one.
Anyone desiring a portfolio can now
obtain it by presenting one coupon and
ten cents at the business ofiice of the
GAZETTE. ,
Eighteen numbers have been issued
and back numbers can be supplied.
An irresistible Desire.
There is something about a pistol or a
gun which seems to inspire the average
man and the average boy with an appar-
ently irresistible desir e to point the
weapon at some one and to pull the
trigger. The thousands of lives that
have been snuffed out bythis habit——
for such it appears to be—and the daily
additions to the list of casualties, point
out the nececessity for some systematic
method of dealing with this particular
form of peril. Accurate knowledge as
to its nature and origin may be difficult
to-obtain, but it is worth trying for
If the tendency, is one which the natur-'
a1 will of the posessor vainly endeavors
' to overcome, or has been inherited,then
there should be a movement toward
the establishment of institutions similar
to inebriate and insane asylums, where
people who “didn’t know it was load-
ed” could receive such treatment as
would appear to be beneficial. If, on
the other haud,the conclusion isreached
that the person who in this way kills or
maims a fellow-being does so simply
because he .or she is thoughtless and
reckless, then the offender should be
catalogued with criminals, and compel-
led to suffer criminal penalty.

New York Police investigation.
Never has any investigation into
charges of ofiicial wickedness revealed
so much of what appears to be horribly
discreditable fact as has been brought
to light by the committee of the New .
York legislature over which State Sen-
ator Lexow presides. The evidence
submitted up to this time has silenced
about all of the many who scoffed at
Dr. Parkhurst and his associates when
they gave notice of their intention to
arouse the people of New York to the
true state of afi'airs‘that decent people
unknowingly permittedto exist in their
midst. The New York Sun, which has
been a sturdy friend to Tammany, has
been compelled to view the matter ser-
iously, and in an editorial says that if
the testimony be true,==“and unfortun-
ately probability apparently points to
its truth, then there is uncovered the
foulest moral cesspool that was ever
disclosed in the history of the commu-
nity.” Stirred up by the revelations of
those whom it once deemed unworthy
of credence, the Sun says what other
papers have been loudly declaring for
years past. With a penetration born
of intimate acquaintance with Tam-
many’s organization the Sun declares
that “if it be true that the police cap-
tains and their subordinates have for
years, with method and system, levied
upon loathsome vice a horrible toll,
the responsibility has not been an un-
divided one, nor has the filthy incre-
ment been unshared.” This conclu-
sion has been reached long ago by a
great many people, but the desire to be
loyal in its partisanship may easily
have blinded the Sun to conditions that
under other circumstances would easi-
ly have been within the range of its
vision. Now that there has been dis-
closure Of the truth, the Sun speaks
with no uncertain tone. It says that
“no one, however high his place, how-
ever great his power, should escape.
And the measure of his punishment
should be stern; and to the manacles
of the felon should be added such a
‘9. weight of infamy and degradation
that there should -be no surviving it.”
Let all the country say Amen !

George _F: Atherton Claims? His
Alleged Confession is a
‘For‘g'ery. -
Also Charges His Wife With Being
Unfaithful.
Upon an application- by Herman
Frank, the lawyer, at No. 201 Broad-
way, Judge Bischofi', of the Court of
Common Pleas, yesterday granted an
order for Nancy B. Atherton to show
cause on next Tuesday why the pro-
ceedings in her suit for divorce should
not be reopened and the drvorce an-
nulled. Her suit for the divorce was
not defended by her husband, George
F. Atherton, proprietor of the Hotel
Aberdeen, at Broadway and Twenty-
first street, and the decree was granted
to her on Thursday. A portion of the
evidence presented in her suit was an
alleged confession by her husband that
he had been intimate with the co-res
spondent, Alice Carr, a guest at' the
hotel. .3
Among the papers presented to Judge
Bischoff yesterday were affidavits by
Atherton, Frederick L. Avery, Edwin
R. Keys and Lionel Weinistock that the
alleged confession was not in the hand-
writing of Atherton. In his aflidavit
Atherton claims that the alleged con-
fession is a forgery. He states that he
did not defend the suit for the divorce
because he wished to be free from his
wife. The charges in the suit were
wholly false, Atherton declares, and no
improper relations have existed be-
On ac-
count of the publicity, therefore, it
would be a great wrong to deprive her
of the opportunity to defend her fair
name and fame.
The papers in the application sub-
mitted Friday, also include an affidavit
by Mrs. Carr that she has had no im-
proper relations with Atherton.
Atherton also makes a charge that
'his wife had been intimate during No-
vember and December with a wealthy
retired merchant who lived at the hotel,
and that the merchant’s wife had begun
a suit for divorce, naming Mrs. Ather-
ton as co-respondent. It is intimated
that the suit by Mrs. Atherton was be-
gun at the instigation of the merchant,
who desired to marry Mrs. Atherton.
Mr. Booraem said Friday that the
attempt to have the divorce annulled
would be resisted in court. Atherton
had admitted his relations with Mrs.
Carr, the lawyer said. As to Mrs. Ath-
ton, the, lawyer said, she was injured in
a raiIWay wreck on her way home from
the World’s Fair, and she was ill in
bed during November and December.
She has been living lately with her
father in Bridgeport, Conn.

William H. Starbuck, the former

Company, recovered a verdict in the
Supreme Court before Justice Patter-

the company for $14,451.62. Mr. Star-

from 1886 to 1892, when he resigned.
He had served without salary, but just
before he tendered his resignation he
drew a check for the amount of his
salary for several years. This check
was not honored, hence this suit.

The McNamara Case.
In the Supreme Court at New Haven
Thursday, there came up for argument
the appeal of Rev. G. H. Beard of
South Norwalk, from a decision of
Judge Thayer who had erased from the
docket the appeal of Mr. Beard and
others from the action of the commis-
smners of Fairfield county in granting
a license to McNamara Bros. to sell
intOXicating liquor within 200 feet of
the Congregational church of which
Mr. Beard is pastor. Judge Thayer
held that it was not shown in What way
the appellant was aggrieved. .
Before the Supreme Court, the de-
fence held that there could be no ap-
peal from the decision of the Superior
Court inasmuch as there was no ques.
tion of law involved. It was set up that

judicial body, and that appeals from
their action were heard by 8. Superior

Erased From the Docket.
Forty-six divorce cases were dropped
from. the Superior Court- docket on
Friday.
One of the cases is that of Sophia V.
Perry vs. Joseph J. Hanson. She is
the Norwalk girl who became Hanson‘s
fourth wife just before he was arrested;
It will be remembered that Hanson was
sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in
states prison at the September term of
the Superior Court in 1891. Why So-
phia never had the marriage annulled
is not known.
Other Norwalk cases erased were
Eliza W. Rorke vs. Benjamin B. Rorke,
Thomas F. Kippie vs. Mary G. Kippie,
William Webb vs. Emily Webb and
Ferdinand Scheidler vs. Mary Scheid-

about his head attracted the attention
of an observer. Shining through his
thin locks and forming a semicircle on ,
the back of the scalp was a bright red
irregular line. The card that he twirled
nervously in his fingers bore the name
of Louis Parks, and an old gentleman
in the lobby greeted him affectionately
as Lou, When he went out his friend
talked about him to a circle of interest-~
ed loungers “That Wifi old Lou Parks, ’ ’
he remarked, with an inflection of" ad?

Well, gen-
tlemen, the rugged edge of a Black-
foot’s knife made that scar, and all the
skin and hair inside of it were torn
from the skull by a red scoundrel’s
muscular arm. The event occurred just
about where Pocatello, Ida, now is.
* “Lou Parks and three other'white
Some boats were deserted, the "men had gone over in'that neighborhood
to search foi- something Or other, I for-
get what, and one day Lou went out
'fromgz’eamp to kill some meat. The other
fellows heard him shout once, and after
awhile Wondered why he didn’t bring
his game into camp 0r shoot again, as
the country just swarmed with game.
Then they concluded to go out and find
out what was the matter.
“About half or three-quarters of a
mile away they saw a man lying in
some bushes and rode up to find ' Lou.
He was unconscious, and his head was
covered with blood pouring‘from a hole
about as big as. a tin cup. It Was easy
to see he had been 'sealped. No Indians
had been seen in the neighborhood, and
the boys couldn’t understand where they
had gone, because Lou’s gun and" knife
were still with him. They lucked around
for signs, and deeper in the chaparral,
about 20 yards away, found the dead
body of a Blackfoot Indian. He Was
shot in the spine, and inhis clinched
scalp. .
‘ “The boys loosened the ' Indian’s
grasp and released the thing, And, one off
them suggested the, bright idea of stick-
ing it back on Lou’s head.‘ They Washed
it in water from one fellow’e leather
bottle and washed their partner’s head.
Then they fitted the scalp back in place
and tied it on with 'stripeof .horsebl‘am
ket. When Lou came“ to hisgsenses, lie

for an elk, :which he thought he beat
below him, to cOme along, when he sud-
denly felt something grab his hair from
behind and then pull the whole top of
his head off. He said that before he
went off he saw something black-go in
front of him and pulled his rifle-’8 trig-
ger as he himself fell forward on his
face. »
“For months he lingered between life
and death, but finally recovered. When
the'blanket strip bandage was taken off,
some time after the attack, by an uriny
surgeon at a post 400 or 500 miles away,
where Lou was taken, it was found that
the scalp had begun to grow on again,
and after several years? treatment it hot
came as you see it now. Lou would give

he took the chances on scalping him
alive when he had a dead cinch on get-

ain’t after any postoi‘fice, you can bet. ”

. Artificial Petroleum.
It is not perhaps generally known
that petroleum can now be produced ar-
tificially. The process is very simple,
being the distillation, in a strong iron
vessel, under a“ pressure of 25 atmos-
pheres, of the animal fats and oils at a
‘ temperature of 800 degrees C. Under fa-
vorable conditions 70 per cent of the fat?
ty oils are transformed into petroleum,
which is 90 per cent of the theoretical
yield. The product thus obtained has
' been found to be in eyery particular iden-
tical with natural petroleum. It is sug-.
gsted that, with modifications of condi-
tions in the process, oils of different
grades may be produced.
in the petroleum industry or to say
what bearing this discovery may have.
At present it certainly appears to be of
little practical importanee, yet it is not
the less an interesting fact, and one per-
haps not to be lost sight of. The dis-
covery will~ do‘ubtlessly be further de-
velOPed, and it is not improbable that it
may. become of commercial importance.
It, as is claimed, 70 per cent of the
animal oil is convertible into a good pe—
troleum, it Would appear that Degras
, ~oil, which sells at 2 cents per gallOn,
could profitably be converted into ajsu-I
perior grade of petroleum, selling, say,
-at 12 cents. It would be no~ more re-
tions it at some future time this dis-
covery should find an important place
in the production of lubricants and il-
luminating oils—China, Glass and
Lamps. _
Too Competent.
A duchess requiring a lady’s ‘maid
had an interview with one, .to whom,
after having examined her appearance,
she said: _' - '
“Of course you will be able to dress
my hair for me?” '
“Oh, yes, ’ ’ replied the girl. “It never
takes me more than half an hour to dress
a lady’s hair. ” .
“Half an hour, my child!” exclaimed
the duchess in accents of terror. ,“And
what on earth then» should I be able to
do with myself all the remainder of the
moming?”—London Tit-Bits. . '

Mules Delirious With Pleasure. . . .
“I saw an odd sight in Luzerne
county,” said Eckley B. Coxe. “Six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings Of- a coal
shaft to and from the. foot of the shaft
flooding of the mine on acc'ount of fire.’
The mules in all that'tlme had seeu'iio
light stronger than the flicker of the lit-
sun was in its zenith when they reached
the surface, and the atmospherewasas‘
clear as crystal.
‘ ‘The astonished creatures closed their .
eyes to shut out the floodiof strong
light and kept them closed while they,
were being driven to a pasture lot a.
mile distant and turned loose. There
they'stood. trembling, as if they were
afraid something evil was about to be-
fall them. Presently they half opened
their eyes and peered around" in Open
mouthed amazement. It was clear they
couldn’t. understand it._ -.-_..
“When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight, they elevated ,their
heads and slowly swept their gene over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon
' again and again. Toward sundown
’ they broke into a. chorus of joyous brays,
the like of which was never heard from
mules before.
“After a quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums and
rolling on the sod as if they had gone
mad. For four days they spent their
time gazing at the new sights of field
and sky, refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass, and not as
much as blinking an eye in sleep.”—

A Problem In Wizardry.
We want to know why persons who
believe in ~wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards, nearly always prefer to
believe in men or women who are“ of a
race inferior to their own or in circum-'
stances which prove that their occult '
rule is not invariable, for there have
been great wizards like Paracelsus, Rog-
er Bacon, Michael Scott or Cagliostro,
who were acknowledged by those who
ways their superiors, but it is seldom
broken. 'In all the letters on country su-
perstitions which we have published,
we could find no room, the “wise” man
or woman has always gypsy blood or
some peculiarity of appearance marking
naked savage, whilef‘thOse who resort.
to him are civilized beings clothed‘car'e-
