KEPT ALIVE BY TOBACCO.
Peter Coulter Claims that the Use of the Weed
Has Added Seventy Years to His Life.

rpecia, 20 the Indianapolis Journal:
NEW LONDON. Ind, Oct. 26.-Peter Coulter,
ofRussiaville. aged eli ghty-four declares that
he has been kept alive for seventy years.
ever since he was fourteen years of age, by
constantly using tobacco. and, although he
detests the smell and taste of the plant.
and would gladly cease using it, yet he
believes he would probably not long sur
vive its discontinuance. When a boy.
about the age above mentioned. he was
suddenly taken i'll with fever. and the dis
ease left a very dangerous sore on his left
side that grew quite large and annoyed
him with constant and increasing pains.
His physician informed him that the re was
but one remedy. fuse tobacco" or he must
die. To this he at first objected. but finally
began smoking. For four years the smok-
ing made him sick. and did not seem to de-
was much lessened. The doctor then recon-
mended him to chew tobacco, instead of
smoking. He did so, and the sore at once
began to show an Improvement and the
pain ceased altogether. But whenever he
ceases chewing for any considerable length
of time. the sore returns and increases in
size, and he states that to desist from chew
ing for a month would be at the risk of his
lite. He is one of the most aged pioneers of
this vicinity, and his ancestors were noted
for having lived to a wonderful age, his
grandmother on his fathers side attaining
the almost unprecedented longevity of l33
years, while ms two grandfathers and the
other grandmother lived to be more than
one hundred each. His mothers age was
also very remarkable. She died at Ames
Station, Ia, two years ago, at 110, retaining
all her senses up TO the last moment. At
the age of III she visited her son Peter at
his home, with the expectation Of making
her home with him the remainder of herlife.
But she soon became discontented,
and returned to Iowa, where she
died. Peter has lived in this
vicinity ever since 1912, and claims to have
hauled from Cincinnati the first steam
boiler and engine that was brought into
the State of Indiana. the machinery being
delivered In Wayne county. He can neither
read nor write, but his eyesight is still ex-
~cellent. and he is tall and straight. His
first vote was cast for John Q. Adams, and
one of his trite sayings is peculiar: II

Parties and dances of young people with
out the restraining presence of their seniors
should not be encouraged. These may be
conducted with the greatest decorum, but
In the social life of young girls it is bad
form TO subject them to any hazards.
Modern society Is compiler aud concrete.
1t has its meaning in all its rules. 1t Is the
result of the advanced ideas of ages of
development, and it IS consequently neither
aimless nor senseless, while its convention
al1ties are the expressed formula of civiliza-
ton.
Of course, this does not imply a blind
subservience to the capricious dictates of

their ~originators, and it is a safe rule. SO
far as dress aud the manner of our enter

such a paltry ambition to be known for
what one has or wears, rather than for
what one really is.
In conclusion. ! am sure that when Amer
lean girls reflect upon the advantages to be
derived from the presence of a kind mother
or friend in their social life, they will d.
vest themselves of the mistaken notion of
being watched or restrained, and really de-
sire the aid of such affectionate or friendly
sOlicitude.

ousIy Returned by the Thief.
On last Monday evening about o'clock
a woman known about Lawrenceville as
"Big Mary" called at the home of Mrs.
Amelia Fink, corner of Harrison and Davi-
SON streets. The woman was known to Mrs.
Fink, and she was asked to partake of cup
of coffee. While Mrs. Fink went to the
store "Big Mary" made off with Mark Fink,
8 years old.
Mrs. Fink was in despair and did not
know where to turn to recover her treasure.
Yesterday. morning, however, Mrs. Fink
notified Agent Dean of the case. When she
returned home her son had been brought
back. The lady was overjoyed on regain
ing the little fellow. A DISPATCH reporter

she could not fathom the woman's motive
for spiriting the child away. Nesting the
boy in her bosom, she said with great
pathos: 'I would not part with him for the

THEY WANT AN ADVANCE,
moiders Issue Circular Tinsing With
Political Sarcasm

molders Issue a Circular TinaIng With
Political Sarcasm.
The machinery molders of this city yester-
day issued circular that fairly tinges with
sarcasm. They are about to ask for an ad-
vance of wages, claiming that it was prom
ised them before the recent Presidential
election, and they have not secured it vet.
A meeting has been called for Saturday
evening in Imperial Hall, when the de-
mands will be formulated. They are now
being paid 81 80 to So 75 and So 90 per dav.
They will ask for an advance of
10 per cent. The circular states:
WHEREAS, The molders in this vicinity az
well as in all parts of this country. having
listened attentively to the discussion of the
tariff question in all its phases and the benefits
that would be derived from protective tariff
and if the party advocating it were elected to
power the workingmen would receive untold
benefits. They were appealed to with ali
earuestness, and were led to believe that better
wages would be paid.
The election has come and gone. The tariff
party were successful, the trade is good and IN
our line of business is not only booming in this
city but the country throughout.
We believe the time has come when We
should come together and ask that the prom
ises made be faithfully kept.

A WEALTHY WOMAN In DIXMONT.
Trial of Case Yesterday Afternoon Which

Trial Of Case Yesterday Afternoon Which
Is Exciting Much Gossip In Lawrence-
vile Society Circles Just Now.
Some of the best people in Lawrenceville
are gossiping just now about the case of
Mrs. Charlotte Wallace, wealthy resident
of Forty-fourth street, whose peculiar case
came up before Judge Collier yesterday. 1t
was an application on the part of Mrs.
Wallace for writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure her release from the Dixmont Insane
ASYLUM. Mrs. Wallace was resident of
Lawrenceville and is about 80 years of age
She was committed to the institution in Sep
tember, 1888.
She was represented by J. W. Kirker,
ESQ.,, and her children were represented by
Attorney Kerr.
DIR. Hutchinson, Superintendent of the
Insane Asylum, testified that Mrs. Wallace
was suffering from senile dementia. She
was much improved and he thought she
would be better off if cared for at home. She
was harmless but not capable of transacting
business.
Samuel Hamilton testified 10 having
known Mrs. Wallace for 20 years. She has
considerable property and is worth, he es-
timated from 500, 900 to $4,000 She has
one daughter and three sons.
DR.. Ayers and DR.. Bononiger were called
and corroborated DR.. Hutchinson as to her
mental condition.
Attorney Kerr by close questioning en-
deavored to show that Mrs. Wallace would
be better cared for in the asylum than if at
home in charge of inexperienced friends.
He asserted that the children had done all
they could for their mother before putting
her in the asylum, and that that was the
best place for her.
Attorney Kirker desired to show that Mrs.
Wallace would be in better hands if at
home with an experienced nurse to care for
her than if in crowded asylum.
Judge Collier suggested the best thing
would be to have a commission appointed to
take care of her and her estate. He re-
served his decision in the habeas corpus
case.

THE ARBITRATORs ADJOURNED.
The State Would Not Go On without Colonel
Douglas' Presence-To. Resume October

The State Would Not Go On without Colonel
Douglns' Presence-To. Resume October
15-Wm. Films Generous Action.
The State of Pennsylvania refused to pro-
ceed with its side of the Mcknight arbitra-
tion case at the close of the plaintiffs side
Yesterday afternoon. The reason given by
Attorney General Kirkpatrick was that
Colonel Douglas, of Maryland, the late
supervising engineer of the work at Johns
town, although subpenaed had failed to ap-
pear. The State declared itself unwilling to
20 on without his evidence, and the Board
OF Arbitration was reluctantly forced to ad-
iourn until October 15., when an effort will
be made to close up the case.
1t is not generally known that Mr.. VIM.
Finn is heavily interested in Mr.. Nc
knights claim. About six weeks since The
DISPATCH published the first intimation of
the dispute that had arisen in regard to the
payment of the claim. Mr.. Finn stated at the
time that on one Saturday night Contractor
Mcknight received orders to reduce his
force one-half. but did not receive any
money to pay the discharged men. he came
to Pittsburg on the next day and stated the
case to Mr.. Finn, who, with his usual
energy, routed out some bank people and
stood good for upward OF S17, 900, which was
then paid in settlement of the claims of the
discharged laborers. The failure OF the State
to remunerate Mr.. Mcknight in this par
ticular item of money paid out has some
bearing upon the case although none upon
Mr.. Meningitis credit.
Sheriff McCandless was witness at yes
terday mornings session. lie enlarged
upon the amount of relief work done with
out demur BY Mr.. Mcknight, and further
stated that the State timekeepers took no
cognizance of these details. This testimony
was reiterated by Assistant Fire Chief
Coates, who had, in the course of relief
work, frequently received men and teams
from MIR. Mcknight
Major Phillips, "the dynamiter, was an
interesting witness. He related incidents
of the work, such as the stampeding of men
when bodies were found, and stated that he
had rerated men on account of their arduous
work. He also confirmed previous testi-
mony as to the incomplete work of the State
timekeepers, and said they had no record
whatever of the work done at night Arbi-
traitors Kremer and Jones were willing to
accept Meningitis time books without fur
ther question, but Attorney Mckee, for
claimant, objected, saying the State might
try to prove Inaccuracy, in which case he de-
sired to introduce testimony in rebuttal.
Other testimony taken was unimportant,
covering the ground taken by previous wit
nesses.
