A PECULIAR CASE
IN QUESTION HERE

An Aged Negro Deacon of Hie Church
Believed Hie Son'e Offenee a Crime

That “blood Is thicker than water"
is a true Baying. One often hears of
families sticking together, no matter
how much in the wrong the offenders
are. The feuds of the mountains are
nothing more than blind clannishness.
Even the law recognizes the blood,
relation and in some instances does
not require relatives to testify against
one another. It is a common occur
rence to hear of a mother sacrificing
everything for a wayward son, or a
father shielding an offender from the

Yesterday there was a peculiar and
at the same time pathetic case
brought before United States Commis
sioner Lane. It was a case of a father
giving up his son to the law after hav
ing had a family consultation on the
subject. The old negro decided, with
the advice of the members of the
family, that the place for his son was
in prison, and he accordingly gave
him up.
The ease Is not a new one and the
offender, unfortunately, Is not a
stranger to the courts. On the 19th
of November last James Thompson,
colored, of Avera, Ga., was brought
before the commissioner charged with
the raising of a money order. Bond
for the negro was fixed at SIOO and
this was put up by the boy’s relatives.
Since that time Postoffice inspector
Clarti has found out that the negro
had not only raised one order but had
tampered with five or six, some of
which work was done after being re
leased on bond.
It seems that the father of the ne
gro, Jeff T. Thompson, who is aged
and a deacon in the church, was
aware of the continued wrongdoing of
the boy and w r as much worried over
the subject. Finally he called a meet
ing of the family and the whole mat
ter was presented to the meeting. It
was decided that the boy ought to be
turned over to the federal authori
ties, and the old father agreed to the
proposition. After the clan had passed
<f4| the matter James was brought to
the city by his father and turned over
to the officers. The preliminary was
held yesterday and the boy wa scorn
mitted to jail in default of bond and
will appear at the next term of the
United States court. The old man
was heartbroken, but said that it was
the onlp way to do in the matter as
the boy was a confirmed offender
and being under one charge did not
deter him from raising several other
money orders.
The action of the old man is deserv
ing of great credit and if there were
a few more of the race that had the
regard for the law as does Jeff T.
Thomson, more offenders would be
brought to justice. This is the first
case of the kind that has occurred
in this section and the strangeness of
the matter excited a great deal of
comment. The old negro was not
down on his son, but said that the

What Sulphur Does
V -
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
tts our daily dose of sulphur and mo
lasses every sprir* and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier,” tonJc and cure-all,
and mind you. this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The Idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur In a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
fui of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and experi
ment have proven that the best sul
phur for medicinal use is that obtain
ed from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide)
and sold in drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
They are small chocolate coated pel
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con
centrated, effective form.
Pew people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur arts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us wUh sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and Impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calcium
Wafers Is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
a way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
"For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from con
stipation or malaria, I have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving,
the skin clear and smooth. Although,
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers is a proprie
tary article, and sold by druggists, and,,
for that reason tabooed by many phy
sicians, yet I know of nothing so safe -
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in nil.
forms of skin disease as this rem
edy.” !f, t
At any rate people who are tired ,of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
"purifiers,” will find in Stuarfe’a,
Calcium Wafers a far safer, more pala
table and effective preparation. n

UNDERNEW LAW6Q
PER CENT OF
SCHOOL IS
GOUTY
HENCE NECESSITY FORCED AN
NAPOLIS COURT OF INQUIRY
TO PROCEED IN CASES NOW
BEING HEARD UNDER OLD. LAW.
ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 6. — (Special.)—
When the trials of the various upper
classmen, on the charge of hazing,
were started there was some mystery
as to why the court was proceeding
under the laws of 1874, instead of
the later act of congress. The rea
son developed In the Roberta trial,
however, when a number of the wit
nesses, from among the upper-class
men, declined to answer questions put
to them by the court and counsel for
the prosecution.
Explanation was made by the court
tha' they would not he incriminating
themselves unless they were actually
engaged in hazing themselves, but still
there were no answers to the ques
tions propounded.
Under the laws of 1874 It Is not
provided that those who witness haz
ing are guilty of wrong doing when
they fall to make reports of such
acts, but under the later act of con
gress it is provided that in any case
of hazing where it is witnessed by
or comes to the knowledge of any of
the students at the naval academy,
they are guilty if they fall to make a
report of the matter. Under that law
it is pretty generally conceded now
that the court of inquiry would have
to take up eases against over 60 per
cent, of the attendants at the acad
emy, hence the necessity for proceed
ing under the more ancient regula
tions.
Other facts have developed which
tend to indicate that, the knowledge
of the existence of hazing extends
pretty well up among the authorities
ai the academy as well as among the
students themselves, and that even
the “rats" are thoroughly familiar with
cases of hazing which have never
been reported and which will never
be made known to the court or the
public.

Question For Colleges to Decide.
(Hartford, Conn., Times.)
It is 'undoubtedly true that, the pub
lic wants to see what it. calls “good
football,” but ft does not. follow that
the clamor for a paid exhibition Is
a sufficient reason for colleges to pro
vide it at a loss of things more Im
portant. to their well-being. That it.
will be done at that cost, if done as
it has been, is the belief of many
graduates and friends of the colleges
and of many of the faculty In "foot
ball colleges.” The public wants the
excitement and "is willing to pay for
It. The question Is whether the col
leges can afford to furnish It..

The grading at Allen Park is about

kept on it almost the entire year.
About 50,000 cubic yards of earth has
been moved, sotrip of it a long dis
tance. All the banks have been level
ed, the material being hauled to the
low pieces. The stone riprap which
extended around the entire has n, has
been moved to the city yards. A great
many brick have been taken from the
old filter galleries and will lie used fin
the street. The oriveways have been
laid off. and the pipe for drainage Is
being delivered on the ground. The
entire cost of t.iis work for the year
has been $10,955.44.
Cemeteries.
A brick walk was laid In the city
cemetery about half way between
Third street and the main avenue

from First avenue ns far south as the

leaving the brick walk. Additional
brick walks and permanent, drains
should be laid as rapidly as practi

The old building at the colored
cemetery has h.-en used for an office

in a dilapidated condition, but was en
tirely too small for the purposes for
which it was used. During the year
