gold headed cane. The following resolu-
ton was then presented Mr.. Mason:
1--WE. the undersigned. wishing TO give ex-
preston TO cur sentiments, which have been
crystalliZed by legislative proceedings. beg
TO say that we are unwilling that an opin-
ion should prevail that you have been ac-
tuated by any other than a desire to con-
serve the best interests of the company
of which you are the official head. There
can be contradiction of the fact that
there never was an institution where so
many are employed where greater degree
of confidence and good Will prevails.
From long and continuous associI ton
with you we have learned the mutually Of
interest existing between employer and en-
ployes. While you have rendered faithful
and Intelligent services to your company.
YOU have al the same time been a benefac~
grateful recognition. As a further test
monial Of our good feeling toward YOU We
take pleasure in presenting you with this
cane. but hope that the time for its actual
use will be many, many years distant"

of the White-river interceptor was com
pletely ruined by the recent high waters in

and a half in diameter, and cost $12 n foot
for the construction. At the point where
the washout occurred it is said that there
was low piece of ground so wet the year
round that foundation could be made
and that to overcome the difficulty piles
were driven into the ground. heavy plank

sewer built on top of this wooden founda-

is comparatively solid now. il is only a
question of time until the piling will sink

with promptitude, clearness and decision
which l never quite found anywhere else

Spoke to His Wife After Twenty
Years silence and Then Dice.

NEW YORK, March 1l.-After not having
spoken a word 10 his wife for twenty years,
William III. Jerolaman, seventy-eight years
old. unsealed his lips as he lay dying. and
he and his old wife became reconciled. The
Jeroamans lived on a farm near Kearney,
n. J. The old man was one of the directors
of a local church board. and becoming
suddenly convinced that his associates on
the board were not observing his standard
of duty he left the churuch He applied to
his home the same rigorous ideas of in
tegrity. At the time he left the church
he had some slight difference with his wife.
who dared to maintain her opposition. The
old man vowed never to address a word To
his wife again, and he rigidly adhered to
his resolve.
Jerolaman was attacked by pneumonia a
week ago. Feeling that his old frame could
not resist the advance of the sickness he
broke the long silence with words of love
addressed to the old woman who Mad faith
fully watched over him from his moment
of illness.N Husband and wife became in
separable from that moment. The old
woman never left his bedside until death

should. Do you suppose that man Is going

the other man has the right to hit him
when his own hands are occupied? Well,

hitting the men to strike with one hand

why think that the Trainer of the Marquis
OF Queensberry rules intended that a man
could hit with one arm free.
Siler to-day received a number of tele-
grams from prominent sporting men all
over the country commenting on the con-
struction of the rules he had made. One
of them, from Billy Madden in New York,
