THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE
ATTRIBUTED TO TEACHER.
Woman's Suspension Asked on Chargt
That Pupils Were Under Her Spell.
Believing that Miss Elizabeth Cur.
tlss, teacher In the public school at
Roseville, N. Y., had practiced thought
transferrence upon her ptfpils for the
purpose of establishing her own Inno
cence, the school board of Staten Is
land recently recommended to the cltj
superintendent of schools that she be
suspended for one month and theu
transferred to another school.
This action explains to the bewilder
ed pupils why for several days they
saw in large, bold letters on the main
blackboard in Miss Curtiss' room this
sentence:
"I did not see Miss Curtiss strike
William and Evelyn Bogardus."
The parents of the Bogardus children
preferred charges against Miss Curtiss
the latter part of .September, alleging
that she had cut William's head with
a ruler and slapped Evelyn's face so
hard that her eye was discolored. No
tice of the charges was served upon
the teacher at once, and immediately
there appeared on the blackboard the
mysterious statement.
That legend stared the children in
the face for several days. Every time
they looked up they saw it. Soon they
were singing it and whistling it. So
when investigators of the board of ed
ucation questioned the pupils all they
could say was, "I did not see Miss
Curtiss strike Wllllam.and Evelyn Bo
gardus." Therefore the charges of the
Bogardus parents were dropped.
But Mr. Bogardus persisted. lie in
vestigated, learned of the "handwrit
ing on the wall" and then complained
to the local board.
At the trial it was charged that Miss
Curtiss had influenced the pupils'
minds by the sentence on the black;
board.
RAILROAD WIRELESS NOW.
Convincing Experiments Promiso a
Revolution In Train Operation.
The conductor In charge of the Lack
awanna limited, New York to Buffalo,
became ill when his train was thirty
miles east of Scranton, Pa., a few days
ago. The train Is tho first to bo equip
ped for wireless telegraph service. Tho
conductor notified tho wireless opera
tor of his condition, and whllo the train
was rushing fifty miles an hour and
although mountains rose high between
him and Scranton, the operator sent a
message to the railroad superintendent
at Scranton. When the train pulled
into tho station a relief conductor step
ped aboard, ready to take charge.
Forty miles from Scranton the con
ductor saw that he would need another
coach. A wireless message was sent
ahead, and by the time the train
reached Scranton tho extra car was In
waiting.
L. B. Foley, superintendent of tele
graph, who was on tho train in chargo
of the wireless testing, said:
"In my opinion tho wireless will rev
olutionize railroading. Tho time Is
coming when tho wireless telegraph on
trains will make the safety and con
venience of railroad traveling 100 per
cent greater than it Is today! And as a
preventive of accidents I think tho
wireless will prove of tho greatest
value."
CARNEGIE YOUNG AT 78.
Earth Such a Heaven He' Wants to
Live as Long as He Can.
"I'm still a young man," said An
drew Carneglo on his seventy-eighth
birthday anniversary. "I'm only seventy-eight
years young. Old ago and
myself haven't become acquainted.
"This earth is such a heaven to mo
that I want to stay on as long as I
can. If any of you youngsters can get
in option on llfo I'll lot you name your
own price."
Then to display his mental nlmble
ness Mr. Carneglo discussed world
topics.
"I do not know whether tho Mexican
situation can bo peaceably settled or
not," said the great peaco advocate. "I
know that destruction of property Is
unavoidable, as In Any war, and there
is certainly a possibility of war, much
an X dislike to think of it"
CANAL DOOMS A
CITY OF ROMANCE
Historic Cruces In Panama
Goes Off the
GOVERNMENT STATION NOW
Town Said to Have Been Gate of
Transit For Spanish Gold Visited by
Pizarro, the Conqueror of Peru, and
Morgan, the Buccaneer.
The Panama canal commission has
issued an order for the depopulation of
Cruces, one of the historic towns of
the Isthmus of Panama, nnd the aban
donment of tho littlo town, which in
the olden days was known na Vcnta
Cruz, tins already begun. Cruces is
situated on tho south bank of tho Cha
gres river, a littlo abovo tho site yhere
'will be located tho official administra
tion city of Guniboa. Most of the
buildings in Cruces are of tho native
type, with bamboo walls and thatched
roofs, the number of houses in the vil
lage numbering sixty, exclusive of tho
church nnd the schoolhouse.
"Cruces," the bulletin of tho cnnnl
commission says, "Is one of tho oldest
settlements on tho isthmus and in
early times was known as Vonta Cruz.
The origin of the town has been de
scribed as follows:
"The first transit route across the
isthmus, for the transportation of gold,
sliver and merchandise from the vari
ous Spanish colonics on tho Pacific to
Spain, ran from tho city of Panama
to Nombro do Dies", on tho shores of
tho Caribbean. It was cut through the
forest and Jungle, over mountain tops
and across mountain streams and was
roughly paved with stones. It ran
from Panama in a northeasterly direc
tion for about twenty miles to n point
on tho Chagres river, which was given
tho name of Vcnta Cruz, afterward
changed to Cruces. Thence It extend
ed northward to Nombro" do Dios.
"A line of posts was established along
the route. It was put in use In-1519
and was the solo route between the
two oceans until nbout 3D:!.", when the
Chagres between Vcnta Cruz nnd the
Atlantic, a distance of about thirty-six
miles, was made navigable for boats
of light draft, and a water route was
established between Venta Cruz and i
Nombro de Dios. Tho land route be- I
tweeu these points was not abandoned,
however, but continued to bo used in
connection with tho water route.
"So well was tho paving laid thnt
parts of It remain In position todav.
Mlfftue'enttre-trairrrom' mnama city
to Cruces is open and is used by tho
natives as a highway for pack mulps
nnd ponies."
The paving of the road referred to is
said to have been the work of Francis
co Pizarro, tho conqueror of Peru. A
tailgate is said to have been set up In
tho village in the latter half of tho
eighteenth century, nnd all tratllc be
tween tho two oceans passed through
and paid tribute to Cruces.
"According to tho report made by
Bancroft," tho Panama Canal Record
states, "on the fiscal regulations and
commercial decline of the Spanish
colonies, goods to the amount of 1,-lGO,-340
pesos de oro were registered as
passing through the Casa at Cruces,
while more than 7,500,000 were smug
gled across.
"In their march from Fort San Lor
renzo, at tho mouth of tho Chagres
river, to attack old Panama, Ilenry
Morgan and his men ascended the liver
to Cruces. Esquemcllng speaks of It
as follows:
"Thus they proceeded on their jour
ney till noon, at which time they arrived
at a village called Cruz. This vlllago
is seated In tho latitude of 9 degrees and
2 minutes north, being distant from the
Fort of Chagro twenty-six Spanish leagues
and eight from Panama. Moreover, It Is
tho last placo to which boats or canoes
can come, for which reason they built1
here storehouses wherein to keep all kinds
of merchandise, which hence to and from
Panama aro transported upon the backs
of mules. '
"Messrs. Sosa and Arce, local histo
rians, nofo that the Chagres river was
first explored from Its mouth to the
interior, probably to about where
Cruces now Is, by Cnptoln Hernando
de la Serna and tho pilot Pablo Corzo
between April 3 and 10, 1C27.
"Following tho construction of the'
Panama railroad Cruces entered upon
a period of decadence which has exist
ed until this day.
"Prior to 1011 tho vlllago had a his
toric curiosity In tho shape of two
wrought Iron anchors. According to
tradition, those anchors were brought
up tho Chagres river in boats for trans
port overland to Panama, but tho plan
was abandoned nt Cruces. One of these
anchors stood In tho vlllago about 300
yards from tho river and the other
alongside tho trail nbout -iOO yards
from tho river. Each anchor lias n
fourteen foot shank, Tho idea was
conceived by Lieutenant AVnltcr D.
Smith, formerly constructing quarter
master of the canal commission, to
send theso anchors to West Point. The
anchors were placed on a raft, which
lubsoqucntly broko looso from its moor-1
ings nnd, after floating down tho river
a short distance, collided with n log,
breaking In two nnd allowing tho an
chors to go to tho bottom of tho stream.
They were recovered later, but before
they could bo placed on board a vessel
cable messago was received by the
chairman from tho secretary of war
disapproving of tho plan. Tho nncbors
are now in the yards Of tho general
storehouse at Mount nope."

AWFUL RESULTS OF LIQUOR
Moral Enemy of Peace and Order, and
Despoller of Men and Cloud
That 8hadows Faces.
Tonight it enters a humble home
to strike the roses from a woman's
cheeks and tomorrow it challenges
this republic in the halls of congress.
Today it strikes a crust from the
lips of a starving child and tomorrow
levies tribute from tho government
itself.
There is no cottage humble enough
to escape it; no palace strong enough
to shut it out.
It defies the law when it cannot co
erce suffrage.
It la flexible to cajole but merciless
in victory.
It is the moral enemy of peaoo and
order, tho despoller of men and ter
ror of women, the cloud that shad
ows tho face of children, tho demon
that has dug more graves and sent
more souls unshrlved to Judgment
than nil pestilences that havo wasted
life since God sent the plagues to
Egypt and all the wars slnco Joshua
stood before Jericho.
It comee to ruin, and it shall profit
mainly by the ruin of your sons and
mine.
It comes to mislead human souls
and to crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels.
It comes to bring gray-haired moth
ers down in shame nnd sorrow to
their graves.
It comes to change the wife's love
Into despair and her pride into shame.
It comes to still the laughter on
the lips of little children.
It comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your homo, and It
knows it must measure Its prosperity
by tho swiftness and certainty with
which it wrecks this world Henry W.
Grady.
COLLEGES URGE TEMPERANCE
Movement to Rule Out Intoxicating
Liquors at Banquets Characterized
as Important Step.
The effort being made by friends of
the University of California to have
passed by tho student body an
amendment ruling out all Intoxicating
liquors from, the officially recognized
banquets and other social functions, is
in accordance with a movement which
Dr. David Starr Jordan characterizes
as "the most important forward step
in American universities." '
The large state unlversitlos, such as
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis
souri, Kansas, Indiana, do not serve
liquors at their class or officially rec
ognized student banquets, and how
ever much intelligent American citi
zens may differ as to the best meth
ods of prohibiting or regulating the
liquor traffic no conscientious man or
woman can fail to recognize the ab
solute folly of nullifying the work of
tho college or the university by per
mitting temptation In tho form of al
coholic drinks to bo placed In the way
of the students.
DRINKERS ARE NOT WANTED
Activity of Railroads In Promoting
Total Abstinence Among Em
ployes Is Illustrated. '
Tho following lnstanco Illustrates
tho activity of railroads in looking
after tho observance of tho total ab
stinence rule: An official of a western
railroad suddenly appeared in the
yards of tho road in an Illinois town
and began on examination, commenc
ing on the engineer.
"Let's smell your breath," he said.
He sniffed and declared the engineer
had been drinking.
"Sure," replied tho engineer. "I
have had four or five beers."
"Go homo," tho official told him.
"We don't want men to go to work If
they have had liquor to drink. If ten
drinks make n man drunk, one drink
makes him one-tenth drunk."
HE PREFERRED A POOR TRADE
Saloonkeeper Converts' Dram Shop
Into Dry Goods Store Because He
Was Afraid of Children.
A saloonkeeper recently closed "out
his business and opened a small dry
goods store Instead. One of his ac
quaintances, knowing that he was ex
changing a good Income for a very
limited one, remonstrated with him.
"I can't help It, Jim," said tho saloon
keeper, "my children nre growing U5
nnd they began to, ask questions about
tho liquor business that I couldn't an
swer without being ashamed before
them. They didn't like to see their
father selling whisky, they said. I'd
rather be in a poor trade that there's
no question about, and bo able to look
my children in the face."
Money to Labor.
When 10,000 persons spend ?200,000
for liquor, only $8,120 goes to labor,
and only $25,200 to tho farmer. If the
money was spent for shoes, clothing,
food, furniture, and building ot now
homes, over $49,000 would go to labor,
and over $120,000 to the farmer or
miner, and a great proportion of this
money would again come back to labor
through the purchase of more shoes,
clothing, furniture, hardware, farm
machinery, etc. Kennebeo (Me.)
