the floor, glad Of a chance to sleep under
a roof once more. The old inn was torn
down a year or so ago and a beautiful
new residence is to be built on the spot.
Just across Pleasant run is the site Of
house, brick below and frame above, built
into the side of the hill. 1t, too, has been
pulled down and a modern home been built
in it's place.
The next landmark is the old house
which is still standing to-day opposite the
street car stables in Irvington-a crum-
bling, white brick, falling in on itself, sur
'32 by John Wilson, who bought the eighty
acres of woodland between the road and
creek for $500. From 1S45 until 1875 Aquila
Parker kept a tavern there. TIL house is
a typical old-time inn; a hall runs the
length of the center, and the low ceiling
can be touched with the hand; IN each room
is a broad open fireplace.
Some college boys attempted to initiate
a candidate into the mysteries of their fra
ternity in this lonely pot one night, but
only met there once. There have been
tales of buried money, and credulous peo-
pie have spent considerable time digging
around the premises, and dislodging old
deep holes have been dug but without re-
suit.

points of prime Importance in the days of
stage coaches. and wayside taverns, when
the mail coach frequently made progress

groomed by his new master until he was
sleek and handsome as a four-year-old.
Up to the time he was thirty he would
run away now and then, and was always
ready for a race on the block pavement
toward home. Not one came behind him
with that sharp click in the trot ~betokening
a desire to get ahead but Dicks ears in

lifted and away he went, leaving his COM

AS the blind man passed along the street
some one inside a doorway remarked,

was not certain whether it was a doctor
coaching a patient or a salesman working
a granger.
A little further on he heard a hoarse
voice cry, Put on yer hose" and he was
perplexed to know whether the speaker
was addressing his wife or a fireman.
Passing on he met some young ladies,
and when one of them said, ST think your
bow is lovely" he was undecided as to
whether she referred to a necktie or a
dude.
As he approached the street corner he
heard a man ask some one, did you
water the stock?" and he was puzzled to
decide whether the questioner was a hog
buyer, a milkman or a broker.
He hadn't proceeded more than a block
further when a newsboy startled him by
yelling. "An about the Fitz-Creedon

couldn't tell whether Fitz had Creedon or

was making some slang allusion 70 the

Presently. he found himself in the midst
OF a small but turbulent crowd which some
man was evidently addressing. The noise
and clamor made IL impossible for him to
catch the speakers drift, but he managed
TO hear something about grinding monop-
olies' and "soulless plutocra1s," and was
bothered to decide whether the orator was
a Pooulist. an Anarchist or a Democrat:
but when he reflected that the epithets
quoted are among the joint stock assets
OF this political triad (who have become
hopelessly mixed through sympafhy and
association) he dismissed The matter from

There have been numerous millinery
openings within the past few days and
there have been scores of visitors to all
OF them. In one of the stores a lady took
her small son and he was escorted through
aisles OF hats and bonnets. In one store
they came to a place where feathers and
birds were shown, and she tried to point
a lesson to the son about the wicked de-
structlon OF the songsters. A few days
aiterward she was seen on the street with
birds in her hat and a bird boa about her
neck. 1t is the latest agony "a very good

"It has always been one of the unsolv-
able conundrums to me, why men will
c~riticise women for fixing their hair in
public or leaving their gloves to be put on
till they are in the street car or on the

"Why?'
"For the very simple reason that men
themselves perform so much of the toilet
in public view. They sit before windows
with their collars and ties of, lather all
over their faces and a barber scraping sew
eral days growth Of beard from their
cuticle. Then dozens of them take their
seats on the street corners while they have
their boots or shoes BACKED. They think
no more of trying on coats and hats right
at the front door of the shops than they do
of entering the shops. Then look at the
scores of them who pick their teeth and
clean their nails on the street. 1t has al

A Coincidence i'm Accidents.

"An English family who lived near us
some years ago." said a lady one day last
week had the ~strangest thing happen that
/ ever heard of. One day one Of the daugh-
ters, there were only two, was in the field
where men were cutting grass. A machine
was standing there and she walked up to
it and put her finger on the knife to feel
how sharp it was. Just as she did so one
of the horses started. and her finger was
cut off at the first joint. The next year
there was company at their house and one
of the guests spoke of the hand with it's
short finger. In the afternoon the family
and guests went to 'he field where the
same process of cutting grass was going on
and the other sister stepped up to the ma
chine and was telling them just how the
accident to the sister occurred and she put
her finger on the knife, when 10, the knife
moved and the same finger was cut off in
the same place and on the same hand as
had happened to the sister. 1t was strange
10 see those two sisters with their hands
deformed in the same way, and then to
think of their having the same kind of &C
cidents."

 At MT. Childs' home on Twenty-second street it was said that there was nothing to be added to the above statement, and Dr. Da Costa positively declined to be in- terviewed. Persons who profess to be cor rectly informed say that Mr. Childs was unconscious for more than an hour after the attack and intimate that it is apoplectic in it's nature.
 It is known that he has had at least two attacks of a similar nature within the past year, and the evident desire upon the part of those surrounding him has excited the gravest apprehensions regarding the exact nature of the trouble.
