COOPER'S TRIPLETS.
Three Tiny Tots of Boys, of Whom
a Patterson Mother TS proud

Three Tiny Tots of Boys, of Whom
Paterson Mother Is Proud.
Paterson, Nj, Special to Philadelphia Press
There isn't happier man in Paterson
to-day than big, jolly Willatt Cooper,
whose stentorian voice is known to
every housewife in the place. Ae is a
peddler of vegetables. The cause or
causes of Peddler Cooper's unrestralned
gaiety are triplets. They are three of
the cutest little cherubs of boys you
ever laid your eyes on, and they all
made their debut in the merry peddler's
home last Sunday morning.
Mrs. Minnie Cooper, the trebly proud
and happy mother. consented to be
seen, and also to exhibit the three little
heaven.born Cupids," as she tenderly
called them.
Aren't they Just lovely little angels?"
exclaimed the doting mamma in rap
turOuS tones. II have been married Just
thirteen years." sha went on. '.In ten
years and three months have had nine
children, only one of whom has died.
June Il, 1887, bore twins, boy and
girl. 1t was the boy that lost, he dying
very suddenly when he was twenty-one
months old.
You see we have had to mark them
with pieces OF aforementioned ribbon
There, that little chap with the red rib
bon on his wrist was the first born. The
one with the white is the second. That
codger with the blue piece is the last
born.
I'VE weighed them Immediately after
they were born. Their total weight was
twenty-five and a half pounds. You
see, if we didn't mark them we should
have got them all mixed up. l should
never forgive myself if any thing like
that happened"
Mrs. Cooper is a large. muscular wom-
an of medium complexion. and the
bluest of blue eyes. She is still con-
fined to her bed, but is rapidly recuper-
ating.
"Oh, mustn't forget to tell you that
Alexander, the last born, is the seventh
consecutive son [ have had. am very
proud of that, but love 'em all dearly.
Wilatt is just wild with delight, as
proud as peacock. l wish you could
meet him. If you near a peddler with
a peculiarly loud voice down town you
may know that's him. He is believing
out louder than ever, too. nowadays"
IA wheeZy little gurgle broke the
stiffness of the room, and the nurse
said: II think Alexander is hungry"
The reporter withdrew and the babe re-
celved his needed Sustenance.

Killed in the Saltzburg Aims.

Vienna Letter in the London Standard.
The fatal accident to DIR. Mayer and
his son. with their gnide, in the Saltz-
burg Alps, which has elected much
sympathy in this capital. occurred while
they were descending the Krtzstein
Horn, mountain nearly 10000 feet
high. This mountain belongs to range
known as Hohen Tauern, which forms
the frontier between the Tyrol, Carin-
thia aud SaltZburg. The ascent of this
particular peak has never been regarded
as very difficult, although the upper
most portion of it can only be scaled by
wire rope. The descent. however, as
is often the case. is more dangerous
than the ascent, and it is probable that
the accident occurred owing to the late
heavy fall of fresh snow, which made
the path unsafe.
According TO another version of the
affair, the tourists were struck by light
ming, but nothing is positive is known
as to the precise cause of the fatality.
The bodies of DIR. Mayer, his son and
guide, all covered with bruises, were
found on the glacier. The three were
tied together with mountain rope. DIR.
Mayer was lawyer, well known in vi
emma. He was both ShOrt-sighted and
nervous. two effects which untitled him
for mountain climbing.
Climbing the Alps is just now more
than usually dangerous, owing to the
weather. The unusual heat is melting
the freshly fallen snow, whereby it be-
comes almost impossible to meke any
progress. Another Alpine accident
just reported took place on the same
day as that i'll which DIR. Mayer lost his
life, and was caused by the rapid melt
Ing Of the snow and ice.

SHE SAID QUAY WAS DEAD.
A Postoffice Clerk Dismissed for
Being FacetiOus.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Postmaster
General Wanamaker has directed Post
master Sherwood, Of the Washington
postoffice, to suspend Mrs. Margaret S.
Watkins, clerk az the general de-
livery window, for using offensive
language towards Richard Quay, the
son of Senator Quay. OF. Pennsylvania.
The circulated account of the affair has
it that young Quay asked for his fathers
mail at the delivery window, and some
one standing near remarked: He's
dead. 1t goes TO the, dead letter office
now;" and Mrs. Watkins, who was on
duty at the window, thoughtlessly re-
peated the remark Mir. Quay, it is
said, seemed to regard the matter as
a joke at the time. and walked
away smiling. Postmaster General Wan
amaker says that Mr.. Quay told him
that the clerk at the delivery window
said that his father was dead and that
his mail went to the dead letter Office.
He Immediately ordered the suspension
of the clerk until an investigation could
be made. Supt. Bell. of the city de-
livery, admits that he made the remark
which Mrs. Watkins repeated.

GIBBONS WHIPS CUSHING.
Nineteen Bloody Rounds Fought
on the Turf.

PROVIDENCE, Il. l., Nov. 7.-Gibbons,
of Patterson, \. j.. knocked out Cush-
ing, of Brooklyn, in the nineteenth
round near the border line of Rhode
Island and Connecticut this morning.
The Demonstrating mill was looked
forward to with lively interest by sports
of this country. 4 year ago Gibbons
had defeated Cushing in twenty-four
rounds, but Cushing had first claimed
that his ill success was due to chance
blow, and as result intense rivalry has
been manifested by both principals.
When, finally another match was ar
ranged, each found hackers ready to
deposit. Gibbons is twenty years of
age; has been pugilist since
his fourteenth year, and never been
defeated. Cushing, although twenty
four years of age, had not engaged i'll
so many ring contests. Since then Cush
ing has sought every opportunity to re-
verse the result of that meeting. He is
much smaller man than Gibbons, and
is at disadvantage i'll the matter of
weight, for he was compelled to make a
match at 1872 pounds or under to again
meet Gibbons in the square ring.
Finally mill was arranged for 1000
side. A secluded rendezvous was Sc
1tcteu near the (OuilecJlcuC anu hHOue
Island boundary line. Gibbons had
weighed iii at l29l5 and Cushing at l27.
Gushing assumed the aggressive at first,
and there was some sharp fighting
done. Several rounds were fought
tamely, when Gibbons, evidently
confident, took the offensive. The
Brooklyn boy avoided we'll the
blows and made good use of his left OH
Gibbons head. Gibbons was the vic
tim of Cushing's rushing tactics, and
had struck up to the eleventh round but
four blows, which had not weakened
Gushing. The eharpest fighting really
began at the fourteenth round. In the
eighteenth Gibbons started in with
left-hander On CuShing's chest, follow
ing it up with blow over the heart
which staggered his opponent. Cush-
ing toed the scratch in the nineteenth,
unable to resist Gibbons onslaught.
Gibbons pounded him on the face and
under the jaw. The last. given with a
LaBlanche SHIFT of position, felled him
to the floor. just as the time limit ex-
pred he partially revived. The party
was made up of New York, Jersey and
Boston sporting men.

A Long-Lost Sister Restored to

An interesting and pathetic story has
just come to light of the finding of a
woman who, for forty-fye years, was
supposed dead, and who will shortly
now be reinstated in the loving house
hold of her family, alive and well. The
case Is strange one. About the year
1879 a wealthy gentleman named New
man, residing on handsome farm near
Centerville, Md, owned slave named
Frazier, who, to gain his freedom, S aved
every penny he could get hold of. He
had child. little girl, whom he loved
better than his own life, and with his
hard-earned money he proposed to pur-
chase, with his own, her freedom. Fra
Zier was good and honest servant. and
his master gave him every indul-
gence. He worked hard, and by
the time his little daughter
Susan was sixteen he had enough
money to purchase her freedom with
his own. His master gave him small
piece OF land, on which he built himself
small hut, and, with Susan and his
wife, he intended to pass there the rest
and the happieSt days of his life. They
had not lived there long before he was
blessed with another daughter. For a
short time everything went along

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Acting Adjt.
Gen. McKeever submitted his annual
report to the secretary of war to-day.
The report says that the assertions
from the army during the past year
were 4S9 less than the number reported
for last year, and the percentage to en-
listed strength was reduced from IL to 9.
Two important measures long advocated
by the adjutant generals Office have, he
says. recently became laws. The first
authorizes the establishment of sum-
mary courts for the prompt cogniZance
of minor otfenseS, and the second pro-
vldes that when the punishment is left
to the discretion of courts martial, it
shall not, in time of peace, exceed a
limit which the president may pre-
scribe. The adoption OF well cOnsid-
cred code of DuniShmentS for all military
offenSeS, except those specifically pre-
Scribed by the rules and articles of war,
will undoubtedly remove great source
of irritation and discomfort resulting
from the present inequality of punish

ure, but committed at different times
and at different posts. At the date of
his last annual report. Gen. McKeever
says. the canteen system, while giving
puoHilSe Vi Iull REALIZATION OF CnS dHLtcl-
patiOns which had ted to its adoption,
had not been extensively developed.
Great progress, however, has recently
been made, and the preliminary details
having been accomplished, the institu-
ton may be considered as permanently
established. At present canteenS are
in successful operation at sixty-eight
posts, and during the six months
ended June so, 1890, transacted a
business of s474,625 with the
resulting profit of $SS.430 In
addition to the operations of the
general recruiting service in the larger
cities, Gen. McKeever says temporary
rendezvous have been opened from
time to time since January. 1890. by Off
GERS of the general recruiting detail, in
over forty smaller cities and towns,
whence recruiting parties have been
sent into the surrounding rural districts
and persistent efforts have been made
to obtain recruits from farming and
other communities away from the great
centers of population. Some of these
tours were very successful, others only
fairly so. The class of men thus OBJ
tanned Is believed from reports received
to be considerably above the general
average, As result Of the large de-
crease in the number of desirable appli-
cants, he says, the army is now over
1000 below its authorized strength.

PARALYzED BECAUSE OF SIN,
And Cured by Prayer After Being
Converted by Mr.. Moody


Converted by Mr.. Moody.
New York Press.
Stephen Il. Newton, a colored man re-
Siding at No. III East Eighty-fourth
street, sent a note to the Press yester-
day asking that a reporter be sent to in
teryiew him regarding his phenomenal
recovery from paralysis solely by the
efficacy of prayer. Mr.. Newton
is welI-educated man, and
does not show any characteristics
OF religious crank which
he iaughingly states he is not. He said:
For the past five years ] have suffered
greatly from paralysis, which was pre-
ceded by the most acute neuralgia.
Finally my entire right side became
wholly useless, and for a long time l
was hardly able to move or stir, and |
was also afflicted with what is popularity
called double vision: that is, everything
L saw about me bore counterfeit pre-
sentiment. In February, 1888, while [ was
a member of st. Philip church, Twenty
fifth street, had almost given up hope
OF final and complete recovery, and |
put myself wholly in the hands of God,
praying devoutly for his assistance.
For some months grew no better, and
in November, December and January
last thought was to die at once. But
i'll February l was taken to hear D. l..
Moody at one of his revival meetings.
He converted me entirely. My heart
was then and there laid open
without reserve. l took God as my
guide, and, thanks to His kind mercy, [
began to recover my powers of moving
and walking. From that time to the
present have grown better and strong
er. and my heart purer. L am con-
vinced that l was simply being pun
ished for my sins, and if all the afflicted
will follow my example, lift up prayers,
earnest prayers, to God for recovery,
am sure he will lead them back to
health"
Mr.. Newton told the reporter that the
particular passage of the Scriptures
which caused him to repent of the evil
of his ways and to place his trust in
God was Galatians. vi, z: BE not de-
ceived; God is not Knocked; for what
Soever a man sOweth, that shall he also
reap. For he that soweth to his flesh
shall OF the flesh reap corruption: but
he that soweth i'll the spirit shall of the
spirit reap life everlasting"
