The Seeming of 1t.

OF course we know Bill
Is expert with the quill
As any smart government clark.
But somehow, to our mind,
Whar his dockyments signed,
Looks like william Mckinley, his
Mark"
Some foxes that git fame
Take TO writin' thar name
So its meann' is quite in the dark,
And that may be why
His appears TO our eye,
Like civilian Mckinley. his Mark"
II do seem TO me
'Twould be better II he
In the old Hancock style would embark
And by bold stroke o. pen
Make his name read TO men,
Plain Mckinley" without any Mark.

 Theboard arrived at pier 21, New York city, shortly before o'clock. Most of the party disembarked and spent the afternoonin the city viewing the sights, while the remainder of the excursion ists went up the Hudson for very pleasant sail and returned at o'clock to take back the sghtseers. When an hour or two out on the sound the thun- der storm broke and the boat was com pelled to stop until the hardest of it was over.
 There was not an unpleasant feature about the excursion except that the weather was not of the best Socially and financially the affair was a pro- nounced success and the managing committee is to be congratulated on the manner in which it conducted the ex- cursion.

sAVIN ROCK RUNAWAY.
Marrow Escape of Two Little Children
 -C. w. stratton's Brave Rescue.


 -C. w. Stratton's Brave Rescue.
 A runaway team caused great excite ment at Savin Rock about dusk last Saturday evening. Two little children. boy Of four years and girl Of six, were in a double-seated wagon drawn by thoroughly frightened horse that galloped down Beach street, narrowly missing several bicyclists, who scurried out of the way. The bootblack "Joe," whose stand is in front of Miller's pa- vilion, attempted to stop the runaway, but missed getting hold It looked as though the children would be hurled to death and others injured, when Charles w. Stratton, who manages the Sea- side tintype gallery, next to Bradley's S lunch counter, ran out and caught the reins to which the plucky little girl held with great presence of mind.
 Stratton was dragged along and trampled by the horse, but managed to stop the animal after a running strug- gle of block or two. The buggy came within a few inches of colliding with an ice wagon near the park.
 Those who saw the affair are loud in their praise of Strattons coolness and bravery, and say he deserved a sub stantial reward for risking life and limb

BURGLARS AT WORK.

Mir. William H. Futile, who keeps the wholesale fruit store at 203 State street, was surprised on his arrival at the store early Saturday to find evidence that his place had been burglarized. Investigation showed that the thieves had quietly attempted to remove a light of glass from the rear door, but finally smashed it in, the broken glass lying scattered on the floor. They then were able to reach the bolts and lock in which the key was left.
 MT. Futile congratulated himself on not having left any cash in the store over night, and he is glad to have got ten off with the loss of few oranges This is the second attempt at burglary on State street within a short time.
