Lincoln Among Other Men Some years ago a series of pictures was' printed showing Lincoln in many attitudes, either alone or in conipaiiy with statesmen or military men in Washington or in camp. Attention was called by the writer, who had as sembled the pictures, to the singular isolation and dignity of Lincoln when taken with any group of men. They, almost without exception, showed that they were conscious of observation, at titudes were studies, and the effort to look well in the picture was often evi dent. No matter in what company he was, the president seemed not to be conscious either of the artist, of hiin aelf or of the men who* surrounded him. He stood or sat alone, as if he were an impersonal figure representing native strength and unique sublimity of character,—Christian Register. The Almanac Trust The sale of almanacs was once a lu crative monopoly. Elizabeth granted the sole right to publish "al manacs and prognostications" to the Stationers' company, and James I ex tended the privilege to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but for cen turies only these three bodies were per mitted to issue printed calendars. The monopoly ended when the claim of tho king to the privileges of granting or withholding permission tio issue cal endars—a survival, perhaps, from days when kings asserted their right to regulate all things, including even the times and seasons —was definitely dis proved . and proclaimed nonexistent. Now anybody can say who's who any where.-—Loudon Spectator. LAWYERS' PAPER BOOKS Printed at this ofliee in best style, at lowest prices and on short notice. ALFRED R.

Fifteenth St. Bell Phone 2898R COMPLAINTS AS TO JITNEYS , ARE POURING IN ON MAYOR Royal Ban He Intends to Enforce the Recently Prepared Rules ot the Po lice Department Governing the Op eration of Automobiles Persons in the vicinity of Second and Walnut streets on Saturday nigbt witnessed several narrow escapes from serious accidents, caused by the reck lessness of drivers of automobiles, and in each instance it happened that the cars were in the jitney service. Fortu nately nobody was injured, but a little girl who had attempted to cross the street unattended narrowly missed' be ing run down, no warning being sound ed by the driver of the auto. Wit nesses said the pace was entirely too fast for that time of night at a crowded corner where four sets of trol ley tracks come together. In this connection Mayor Royal said the police are now handing to each jitney drivef in the city a copy of the recently prepared rules (/f the Police Department governing the operation of autos. "I have been loath to enforce the laws with any severity against the jit ney drivers," said Mayor Royal, "for the reason that when arrests of these reckless drivers are made there are al ways some people to raise- the cry that I am acting in the interest of the street car company and against a means of transportation that is intended for the accommodation of the public. I'll grant that this service is an accommo dation to the public, but the men who render this service should be made to observe the laws, and I propose to en force the l&.ws on any auto-car driver, no matter who he is, whether be is driving a jitney or a private car. Wants the Rules Understood "As for this enforcement of the law being in the interest of the street car company, that fs mere rubbish, and hardly worth noticing except that it creates a wrong impression. I believe that when the card of rules I am send ing out is understood by jitney and other drivers there will be general com pliance, for I have instructed the of ficers to make arrests without fear or favor. '' I agree with a good many people that the running of jitneys has assumed a recklessness that must be stopped, lu one day 1 had an experience twice with the same driver. He ran his ear recklessly, passed a street car when it stopped to let passengers off and almost had a collision. When 1 had him be fore me he put up such a plausible plea that I let him go with a warning, but on the same evening he was again re ported for reckless driving, and when I get through with that man ho will know that he cannot disregard the law and defy the rules. "It is not a pleasant thing to call these men to account, but in justice to people on the street who barely escape injury, in all fairness to the people who have rights on the thoroughfares, to say nothing of the fact that it is mv sworn duty to enforce the law, I pro pose to put a stop to the reckless n'lriv" ing of the jitney busses. Ignorance of the law will not be taken as an excuse. Receives Many Complaints "There are some people who say they do not know the laws, but no man has a right to run a vehicle, the run ning of which is regulated by law un til, he familiarizes himself "with the law. A man was arrested the other day for a particularly atrocious viola tion of the traffic, rules, and he made a plea that he did not know th-ere were traffic rules. He found out. "My determination i s not born of recent occurrences, but of a series that have been happening for some time, and I have been receiving so many complaints against reckless jitney driv ing that it is necessary now to put a stop to it once for all. Chief Hutchison will have the matter.in charge and that is a guarantee that unless men obey the laws they will be arrested, and when they are arrested, and the evidence is sufficient, I will do the rest." KILLED BY CHUM IN ACCIDENT E. W. Weihenmeyer, Rich Hagers town Youth, Victim of a Bullet (Special to the Star-Independent.) Hagerstown, May 1!4. —Struck by a bullet accidentally discharged from a revolver in the hands of Wilbourn Gerth, his companion, Edward Wake ling Weihenmeyer, son of 8. H.
