The Philadelphia Euening PuitetiH vouches
for the truth of the following: "He is
Philadelphia plumber and quite well versed
in his business as the story proves. A few
days ago he was sent for to make certain
repairs In a house in the neighborhood Of
Twentieth and Green. He went into the
wrong house-the one next door to that to
which he should have gone-and looked in
vain for the leak. He couldn't find 1t, so
he compromised matters by taking out a
section of water pipe, but when he had
done this mis- assistant made the discovery
that they were in the wrong place. This
was horrifying, but the plumber was equal
to the occasion, for he went to the owner Of
the house and told him what large leak
there was in it. He didn't tell him that he
had made the leak, judging, probably, that
such trifling circumstances was not worth
mentioning. He got an order to repair it,
and he did so. Then he went next door
and did the work called for in his original
order. 1t takes plumber to get along in
these hard times,

JOHNSON TARRN TO MEDIA.
He will be p'ried Next March OH the
Charge of Murder.

SAot o va AthuhuGIe
The negro johnson, who is charged with
the murder OF John Sharpless, was taken
to Media by Lieutenant Roche and Special
Officer Alexander, and was turned over to
the Media authorities to await the action OF
the grand jury Of Delaware county. The
prisoner was removed from the Third dis
trict station-house at 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon week and taken to the Broad street
station in the police patrol wagon. johnson
was an object Of much attention on the way
down to Media. He sat quietly In his seat
and had nothing to say except when spoken
to.
johnson was placed In strong cell, and
extra precautions will be taken to see that
he does not escape. 1t is not known
whether or not he will be given hearing
before a Delaware county Justice of the
peace.
The two women, ,Mollie johnson or Stevens
and Carrie Lane, who are held as witnesses,
were taken from the county prison and
conveyed to Media Thursday.
Miss Pratt, a sister of Mrs. Sharpless,
says that she does not know when johnson
may be. brought before her sister. The
latter, she says, is still very weak, but is
growing stronger. Sunday week DR.. Row.
land, the attending physician, said that he
thought Mrs. Sharpless would sufficiently
recover In three weeks time to see people.
Miss Pratt said Tuesday week, in speaking of
the counsel for the Sharpless family I:
Judge Broomall Is quoted as saying that
Sister Susan and knew johnson well by
sight. We never told Judge Broomall that,
because it isn't so. The Judge was here
last Seventh day, but he didn't mention
johnson. I think IL quite likely that John
Sharpless did not know johnson. If he did
he had only seen him a few times, and 1t
would have been possible for johnson to
come to the porch on that night and not be
recognized" !"

THE MAYoR IND HIS MEN.
How Christmas Was Observed n
the Police station.

AS amark Of appreciation Of the faithful
manner I'm which the policemen have per-
formed their duties, Mayor Rhoads, FRI
day morning, gave them a Christmas break
fast at the police station. The entire force
was present, with number of invited
guests, making 81 in all. The day men ate
first, and then went on duty, after which
the night men took their turn at the table.
The menu was unusually elaborate, and the
breakfast preparations were In charge OF
Mrs. Rhoads and Mrs. Dougherty, assisted
by Miss Sallie Glacken, Janitor Meacham
and Walter Kelley.
But while the treat was most satisfac-
tory greeting to the men, the most interest
ing feature Of the affair was the manner In
which the men surprised the mayor and the
chief. They all crowded into the room at
once, somewhat to his honor's surprise,
which was increased to amazement when
Sergeant Whelan presented him, on behalf of
the force, with q massive gold ring, studded
with diamonds, and with o large initial
letter "R on the stone setting. Chief
Dougherty was then surprised with beau
tiful pair of gold sleeve buttons, also the
gift Of the force.
The mayor warmly thanked the men, and
hoped they would continue to perform
their duties in the future as In the past, and
Chief Dougherty expressed hearty thanks
for the unexpected surprise. Then the
breakfast was eaten, with eager relish and
good feeling.
The police were further remembered by
present of 80 piece from the Union Ma
honal Bank, for service, In daily guarding
the transfer of the banks funds from the
vaults to the temporary quarters being oeeu-
pied during the improvement OF the bank
building. A vote OF thanks was rendered
the bank and also to the ladies who ar
ranged the breakfast.
The Preie Presse, William Lawton and
Samuel Hawkins each presented the force
with a box Of fine cigars, for which thanks
are returned.

SIT was Saturday night" said q gentle
man interviewed by st. Louis Post.
Dispatch reporter, land l was about to
turn into the hotel-I was stoppingin the
town of Hutchinson, ,Kan.-when looked
down the street and saw the sign saloon.
Just to see how they worked things l
went down to the saloon and asked for n
drink of liquor. Don't sell it, said the
bartender. Give you some ginger ale. ;
All right" said 'let's have the ginger
He set out some ginger ale and drank it,.
It was all right, much to my surprise, for
thought ginger ale was but synonym
for whiskey. As turned to go the bar
tender said: You can get what you want
in the drug store next door, went into
the drug store and asked for some
whiskey. How much do you want-a
pint?' inquired the proprietor. Yes, a
pint will do, said 1, thinking, as he had
given me the hint, that that was the proper
amount to buy. Well, he turned to a
book and began to fill out blank. Then
he asked me what wanted it for.
didn't answer, and he said, inquiringly,
general debility?' and said 'yes.' Then
he tore off the blank, put 1t before me fol
signing, and after had signed it put il
on hook. In minute had pint Of
whiskey and he had my money. Before
1 left asked him for one of the blank
to be filled on such occasions, and he gave
me it, and here it is. Now you can SEE
what liar man has to make of himself
to get drink. signed the blank with
out looking ut the contents, but l have
thought since that while the sale of liquors
may have been restricted in Kansas by
prohibition laws, the operation of thu
same must inevitably result in the pro
duction of crop of liars superior to tina
of any half dozen states in the country

The Sultan of Turkey is allowed for the
support of his Court $4,000, 600; in addi-
tion to this he has private income of
$4,000,000. The Emperor of Austria is
granted yearly allowance of $12, ,000,-

Queen Victoria's personal estate is esti.

estates are worth fully $l5, 600, 900 more.
Among therichest American estates ever
gathered is that of the Astor family.
Efforts are made to conceal the enormous
figure that would express the worth of the
property, but it is probable that $3.50, 600
900 is not an extrayagant estimate. The
estate of William H. Vanderbilt was 5000

time of his death fully $50, 600, 900, large
part of which has gone one way or the

Armour, the Chicago hog packer, is worth
$15, 900, 900. Mackay, whose step
daughter, the child of California camp

600, 600, and Fair, his former partner, hal
fully that amount. ID. o. Mills is wortl
