Aged People.

Three lives all spent near Boston,
and literally overlapping each other,
spanncd the period from the landing Of
the Pilgrims in Massachusetts, in 1920,
to our own day. Ebcnczcr Cobb was
born in Plymouth, March 22, 1904,
aud died in Kingston December s.,
1903, aged 10 years. For the first
ten years of his life he was contcm-
porary Of Percgrinc White, the first
white person born in New England,
and for the last thirteen years Of his
life he was the contemporary Of Charles
Spraguc, the banker-poct Of Boston,
who died in 1873. Mr.. Cobb had the
rare felicity Of living in three centuries
The same il true of Francis Halazoli,
who was born in Sardinia in 1887,
and died in 1902, and of Thomas Parr,
commonly called "Old Parr" and who
very properly might be called Grand
Parr.' lie was born in Shropshire, in
1883 and died in 5S5, at the mature
age of 1872 years and nine months.
His death was FASTENED by his being
taken by the Earl of Arundel to the
court of Charles I, for exhibition. He
married at l29 years, when he seemed
to be in perfect health, and cultivated
the soil until he was 1870. There is no
well authenticated case Of any one hav-
ing got above Parr in the matter of
age, though Mrs. Letitia Cox, who
died in Jamaica in 1888, claimed to
have been young woman when Port
Royal was destroyed by an earthquake,
June 8, 1902, which would have made
her over 100.

The day is fast approaching when
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of individuals at
the expense Of the public will not be
permitted. No man is worth salary
of five thousand dollars per annum.
Where individuals are pampered and
enormously enriched, the rest of the
community has to suffer humiliation to
meet the expense. Look at the social
fabrics of West European countries to-
day. In the light of reason they are
denominations. A large fraction of the
population of rich England are tramps,
in order that few dukes and capital
lists may own all the land.

towns people. The whole was under
the direction of Lieut.. Converse, assist

lieutenant's grounds in such perfect or

Chinese lanterns and numerous colored

EXPENSIVE HAY.

H0sr u. Ss0a sc0U, a Feed Dealer, Filled
His Store ,cith Hay Which belonged to
mother Man.
Yesterday the attention of the municipal
court was occupied in trying case brought
against julius Shadewall, feed dealer at
21O Central avenue. The action was
brought at the instance of P. F. and G. L.
Dewey, commission merchants, doing bus
mess at $50 Second avenue south. The
trial developed the fact that Mr.. Dewey
purchased nine tons of hay at about noon
of a certain day, and during the afternoon
of that day he received telephone COM
munication, informing him that some one
was loading up his hay. He drove out at
once, only to find that a load of hay had
been hauled away. He followed up the
trail of the wagon and found it went di-
rectly to j. Shadewall's, the defendant
Afterwards another load was taken, and this
like the first was taken by the energetic
Shadewall, who seemed bent upon the
idea of supplying his customers with hay
which should not cost him anything, and
which resulted in the suit. There have
been several complaints relative to the
funny business Of young Shadewall,
which may be exposed at no distant day.
The case was tried and submitted.
