Washington, Aug. 18.—Court pro- ceedings by William Loeb, Jr., col- lector of the port of New York, are said to hang over the head of a local labor leader. Mr. Loeb has written to Samuel de Nedrey, editor of a local trades union paper, protesting vigor- ously against a recent article in the paper stating that Mr. Loeb contem- plates appointing Charles A. Stillings, former public printer, to a position of trust in the New York customs serv- ice and which concluded with the question, “Who was at the head of the audit system?” p It is understood that Mr. Loeb took offense at what he believes to be a veiled insinuation that he was inter- ested in the audit system which was inaugurated at the government print- ing office by Mr. Stillings and which, ultimately, was responsibl# primarily for the resignation of Mr. Stillings as public printer. Mr. Loeb intimates that it is his in- tention to carry the matter into the courts. The Stick For Wives. In the old Anglo-Norman marriage ceremony the gentlewoman used to promise her husband to be buxom “unto my gentil manne.” The word buxom corresponds to the modern Ger- man blegsam, meaning bending or pli- ant, and the old English was “busk- am,” all of which goes to show that things must have been very pleasantly ordered in the good old days that are dead and gone. According to the old English law, which is still unrescinded In the statute book, the “gentll manne” was allowed to beat his goode wife i with a stick the diameter of which dld not exceed a quarter of an inch.—New York World.

JAPS AND CHINESE CLASH Affair Reported to Peking by Gov- ernor of Kirin.
