END OF A DAYS OUTING.
A Blow on the Head and the Dis
APPEARANCE Of a Watch.

Charles Rohart, Louis Hirschberg and
a U man named Burns came over
from New York on March 5 for a days
outing. After spending the day Wander
ing about they found themselves near the
Pennsylvania Railroad bridge over the
Hackensack River. AS the weather was
chilly they picked out a secluded spot,
made up a bonfire and sat around it.
When they got tired sitting there, Rohart,
as Hirschherg claims, picked up a coupl-
ing pm and knocked him senseless with
il. When he recovered consciousness with
the aid of a bridge tender, who was at
tracted by the fire, Rohart and Burns
had disappeared. His silver watch, $40
in money, and his overcoat had also dis
appeared. H~irschberg was taken to the
City Hospital and was confined there for
several weeks. Rohart was tried in the
General Sessions Court for atrocious as
sault and battery today and h.gnway
robbery. He said that Hirschberg attempt
ed to strike him with a coupling link and
he struck HIrschberg with the pin in
self-defense. He denied robbing him. 1t
was simply absurd, in fact, because he
had. nothing TO be robbed of. He and
Hirschberg were acquaintance of long
standing, having met each other when
they were inmates Of the House of Refuge
in New York. The jury convicted Rohart.

WANDERED OFF ON A BICYCLE.
Wall Street Bankers Wild Son
Stranded in HobOken.

For the past two days Detective Julius
Nelson of Police Headquarters, Hoboken,
has noticed a tall country looking youth,
in a d~ilapidated. well worn knickerbocker
bicycle suit, lettering around the lower
Hobokcn ferry. This morning the boy
was on deck again and Julius took him
before Recorder McDonough, whom he
told that he was William Treadway,
sixteen years old, of No. 600 Market
street, Philadelphia, an office boy, who
had come to New York in search of
work. The Recorder told Cap. Aldoretta
to lock him up for a couple of days TO
see if he was telling the truth.
The youth was led back to a cell and
when the key was turned in the door,
and Aldoretta was about to walk away,
he called to the Cap to let him see
the Judge again as he had told a lie.
He was brought out, and this time he
told McDonough that his name was VIII
liam Diederickson and his father was
a Wall street broker. He lives in Green
wlch, Conn, and several days ago went
off on his bicycle. He was away from
home a couple of days, and then sold
his wheel for S. and came to New York.
ken, where he tried to secure employment
but failed. He is not over intelligent.
He was led back to a cell. In one cell
adjoining him was a mad dog awaiting
execution and on the other side was an
old tramp sleeping off the effects of his
visits to outside beer kegs.
Detective Nelson called upon Mr..
Diederickson at his Office, No. SIS Wall
street, and the banker called for his way-
ward son this afternoon.

4 HUNDRED YEARS OLD
Some Sound Scientific Suggestions TO
Men and Women Who Arc Look
Ing Into the Future.

"IIow can / live a hundred years?',
Very happy most Of us would be:s1f we
only knew the secret Of the ce~ntenArian's
life and now that secret has at last been
discovered. a well known scientist who
made this discovery, has for years past
been investigating the habits of mon and
Women who have reached advanced years.
He has found that in nearly every case
the people who ehjay the healthiest and
happiest old age areHhose Wao make regu-
lar use of some pure stimufant.
After middle age he says. the ener-
gies droop and nature requires stimulating
and assisting. For this reason. old peo-
pie who wish to be strong and well should
never let a day pass without taking some
pure stimulant which can be depended
upon"
This is an interesting fact, and 1t clearly
shows that scientific men are correct when
they tell US that nothing compares with a
pure stimulant for building up the system.
They also tell us that the safest n best
stimulant is pure malt whiskey, because
1t is not only a tonic but a food for the
nerves and tissues. There is, in fact.
only one pure whiskey in existence, en-
tirely free from adulteration. 1T is
known as Duffy's pure malt whiskey and
thousands of aged men and women have
testified to its remarkable strengthening
effects.
Elderly people who suffer from stomacn
ailments or any form of weakness will
find great relief from taking Duffy's pure
malt. 1t is not an ordinary whiskey but
a pure stimulant which contains all the
properties that contribute to health and
none that can Inquire. For this reason,
in purchasing from grocers or druggists,
beware of inferior limitations and insist
on getting exactly what you ask for.
