FELL OFF THE SHIP.
Sailors Who Were Not Accustomed
to the Trolley Gunboat.

Sailors Who Were Not Accustomed
to the Trolley Gunboat.
They were two jolly tars off duty and
making the most of brief relief from
excepting ship" After a cornwall call
up the line they were coming through
Jefferson avenue on the rear end of a
motor car and smoking their pipes
while they talked with the usual volu-
bility of the sailor in port. AS lady
came from the somewhat crowded car
the little fat son of Neptune stepped to
the street that she might have clear
passage. Of course he had to touch his
cap and by this ceremony hewas delayed
just long enough to have the car start
with a jerk as his foot was on the step
to rejoin his mate. When he hit the
pavement he struck out like strong
swimmer for two or three strokes be-
fore realizing that he was not in the
water.
MAN overheard" whooped the lad
on the platform. Dropped over the
port side of the stern. Slow her down,
man, slow her down and back up," as
he excitedly grasped the arm of the con-
dustor. "Give the engineer his bells, "
and he seized the strap that registers
fares, jerked it at the rate of five dollars
per minute till it came out by the roots,
leaving the register hanging by one
screw.
Meanwhile the little fat sailor was
coming like duck in foot race, wav-
ing his handkerchief and shouting:
ship ahoy!" as if the fate of Robinson
Cruso would be his should that car es-
cape. The passengers could do moth
ing for laughing. The conductor was
vainly striving to suppress the excited
tar aboard, and he was calling upon his
eyes to be blasted and his timbers to be
shivered if he didn't scuttle the craft
if she didn't come to and rescue his
mate. He swore, too, that he was be-
ing marooned, for he wanted off to give
the fat one hand. He was released
at the next corner, where he stood,
shaking his fist while he called the con-
ductor bloody pirate till his putting
consort came alongside. Then they
went rolling toward the police station
to see what the "chief commodore
would afford them in the way of ven
geance.-Detroit Free Press.

Rowlandville Notes.

The iron works here are still idle, not
withstanding the promises of prosperity
which we heard so much about a few
months ago. However, we have lots of
faith and believe that good times are on
the way somewhere, if they can only find
US on account of rocks and hills. One
thing we are sure of, though, and that is
niullets, which have already made their
appearance, and if herring only follow
suit we will try and pull through.
The railroad company has erected fine
wagon bridge over the deep cut here, 1t
is substantial structure, one of which
the county need not be ashamed, and re-
fleets credit on the P. R. R.
On Friday night last the members and
friends of Harmony M. P. church held a

B. Hanna. All of the contestants die
remarkably well and those present en-
ioyed the event very much.

BOYS IN WALL STREET.
Their First Duties-What Is Expected
of Them,


A Wall street boy is expected to be
at the Office at nine o'clock in the morn
ing and remain there as long as his
services are needed, though he usually
gets away about four o'clock. He has
an allowance of half an hour at noon
for luncheon, but the rest of the time
belongs to his employer. He is expect
ed to be neat in appearance, clean as
to hands and face, well hammered,
truthful at all times, prompt in obedi-
ence and faithful in guarding the Sc
crets of his employers.
The duties first assigned to him are
to carry messages, deliver stocks at
other brokerage offices, and obtain
checks for them. After awhile he is
advanced to making comparisons of
sales Of stocks and taking the checks
received from other brokers to be certi-
fled at the banks.
Of late years the stock exchange
clearing house has done away with so
much of the stock delivery by boys that
the number of them on the street is
not more than half what it used to
be. Formerly it was not uncommon
to see from 25 to 100 boys waiting in
line at each of the prominent banks
to get checks certified, and nearly every
bank employed private policeman to
Keep the boys in line and in order.
a story is told of a new boy on the
street who once went to make a delivery
of stock. When the bookkeeper made
up the accounts at the close of the day
he found himself $4,000 short, and an
examination of the books showed that
one of the boys had failed to bring
back a check in return for some stock
he had delivered.
lie was perfectly innocent about the
matter, and said that he had handed the
papers in at the Office where he was sent
to make the delivery. and as they gave
him nothing he supposed there was
nothing for him to get. His employer
treated him kindly, and told him to be
careful not to make the same mistake
ogain.- He never did. That boy is now
at the head of one of the largest broker
age houses on Broad street.-Harper's

Fooled After All.

During the Peninsular war number
of English officers had established a
mess in n Spanish village, with native
cooks whose e1fo It's were fairly salts
factory to the keen appetites of the
campaigners. They were joined, how
ever, by certain peevish. cantapkerous
major, who bitterly complained that
every dish was favored with sugar
after the Spanish fashion-and quite
UNBEATABLE. Finally, he confined him
self to diet of e. gs boiled in the shell.
"They can't sugar those" he cried, tri-
umphantly. But his triumph was
short-lived. Next morning some mis-
chievous subs were at the mess-table
before the major, and empted all of the
salt cellars, replacing their contents
with powdered sugar. The major
soon appeared, and with gloomy COM
placency began upon an egg, with
which, as usual, he took plenty OF
salt" At the FIST mouthful his face
turned purple with rage. "sugared,
by Jove:" he exclaimed, and rushed
off to his tent.-San Francisco Argo-
naut.

A Century Old.

oASA'
The Oxford Press publishes the
following sketch of remarkable
case of longevity in William Nicely
who possesses all his faculties, but
little impaired at the end of 100
years:
civilian Nicely celebrated his
one hundredth birthday at the res
idence of his son, John Nicely, near
Airville, York county, last Satur-
day, March ID.
civilian Nicely was born March
ID, 1897, in County Derry, Ireland.
where the first part of his life was
spent. In the year 1923 he mar
ried Jane Frew. After living there
for about thirteen years they de-
cided to emigrate to this country
and he left his home and sailed for
America, landing here in the month
of August, 1913, his wife following
one year later. 1t will be seen that
they had many homes during their
sojourn here. They first settled
near Paradise, Lancaster county.
Their next move was to near Cor
donville, where they lived seven
years; then they moved to Stras-
burg and four years later they
bought farm in Coleraine town
ship, known as the William White
side farm, where they lived eleven
years. Selling the farm they moved
to Russelville, Chester county.
They next bought farm in Lower
Oxford township, known as the
johnson farm. After living there
a few years they moved to Chance
ford township, York county. From
there they went to Leavenworth
City, Kansas, and made their home
with their son, DR.. S. f. Nelly, for
few years, and then returned to
ChancefOId and settled down with
their son, John Nicely. Mrs. Nelly
died in January, 1898, aged eighty
six years.
"After living in this country a
number of years, Mr.. Nicely had "a
great desire to visit his birth place,
and see again where he had spent
his bOyhood days, and in May,
1876, went to Ireland, where he
spent the summer, and had de-
lightful visit, returning in October.
civilian and Jane Nicely had
ten children, six of whom are still
living, as follows: Samuel and John
of York county, Mrs. Lyons and
Mrs. Gable of Philadelphia, DR.. S.
F. Nicely, U. S. Marshal, of Leaven-
worth, Kas., and Mis-. Thomas of
Chicago. They have twenty three
grandchildren living and eleven
great grandchildren.
"The first part of William Neeiy's
life in this country was spent in
farming and dealing in stock, and
although he has now passed his
one hundredth birthday, he has all
his faculties perfect, except his
hearing is a little dull. He reads
without glasses, shaves himself and
takes bath every week. He knows
his old acquaintance whom he had
not seen for years when he meets
them and is pleased to see any OF
his friends at his home. William
Nicely had one brother who lived tC
be one hundred and three years
three months and three days old
He bids fair to live many years
yet"

FOR ARSON
Mrs, williams VIII BE Given a Preliminary
Hearing Today

Mrs. NJ r Williams, the white woman
colored man who runs the chile stand in
the rear Of POI North Main street, will
be turned over to the state this morning
charged with arson. Late yesterday af-
ternoon Mr.. P. J. Conklin, the agent of
the property, made complaint to County
Attorney Amidon and the Williams wo-
man will probably be given a hearing to-
day When seen yesterday in the city
jail she said that her husband had hurt
her feelings on Saturday afternoon. and
TO drown her sorrow she drank some
beer. She said that she must have gone
there 10 cook something for herself
Just before an Eagle reporter left her
she asked il he didn't have a bottle of
whisky with him. When given a mega
tive reply she said I'm sorroy"
When her husband was seen he said
that he had gone home after closing I'D
his shop about o'clock Sunday morning
and that they had had a little trouble
and that she had abused him unmerci-
fully by swearing at him and calling him
all kinds OF names. He said that he was
afraid OF her and got up and left the
house and come down town. He thought
that she had tried TO him out revenge.
There is plenty of evidence to convic.
the woman, in fact she does not deny
the charge preferred against her. The
only plea that she sets forth is that she
was drunk at the time. Only the promp:
arrival Of the fire department stopped
what would have been a big confagra-
ton
