"l was thinking" said the man who had just given a deep sigh. ''of the de- pating days of youth.'
 "Ah ys." answered his companion. "I suppose that when man gets Ilt- tie along in years, say-or-like your- self, he'd give great deal if he could only turn the clock back a decade or so." l
 ''EIe would. There's no use denying it; he would. He can't help feeling gloomy over what he has lost, thOsS days when he thought that be could give Bismark DO Rts on statesmenship, if he'd only taken time to study little; when he was certain he'd be able to give Rubinstein music lessons, if hs decided 10 turn his attention to the piano; when he didn't entertain tha lightest doubt of hls ability to show Booth where his reding of Shakespsar might be improved if he wonId only take advice, and saw a sky that teemed with undiscovered planets, waiting for him ta turn astronomer.

All on Account of the Deacon

"There's another war on between Closer and Pinchem."
 "No? Whats the matterthis timer"
 "Of course you know they hate each other. Been rivals Tn business and so. ciety for years. Long ago both wanted to marry the same girl, and neitLea got her. Each planes the other for that. Mention Closer to Pinehem and he wants to fight. Mention PInchem to Closer and he'll swear in the richest vocabulary a profane man over acc inundated.
 "Deacon Worthy was the occasion of of the most recent rapture. He was raising money for some good purposes and went to Closer, who headed the list with $500 under a positive agree ment that S200 of the amount was to be immediately handed back to him. there was red splotches on the moon He denounced Closer as a miser and 8 shark. The idea of hls haviag sub scribed but $500 to such a cause was disgraceful. Pinchem put down $500 and generously told the deacon to call on him if more was needed.
 "When Closer saw the list again, he was tickled into coughing fit and had word conveyed to Plnchem of hls agree ment win the deacon. They though t for tune that thy'd have to put Pinchem in straigh jacket. the name s he called Closer would keep strong raeper buisy for week. They reacE ed Closer, and now there is to be a slander suit. Each has vowed to whip the other on sight, and it is better than circus to see how they dodge each other in their daily walks.

POLICEMAN DRISO0LL SUSPENDED
He Fights Fireman Fitzgerald ON
the street.

Chanceman John Driscoll of the Greg
DRY street station has been suspended by
Chief of Police Benjamin Murphy, and
will be tried, probably this afternoon, for
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gem
tlernan. The action of the Chief was
caused by a quarrel which Driscoll pick
ed yesterday witt Fireman James Fitz-
gerald OF Engine Company No. 2.
Driscoll and Fitzgerald have not been
friends for some time. They had had a
quarrel over money matters. Yesterday
was Driscolls day off. He went to the
engine house in Sussex street and picked
a fight with Fitzgerald, threatening to
assault him and later threatening to ar
rest him. Fitzgerald stood his actions as
long as he could and hen went to the
telephone and notified the Gregory street
station of what Driscoll was doing.
Roundsman Noonan went to the scene
of the trouble and warned Driscoll to
leave Fitzgerald alone and behave him
self. A few hours later Roundsman
Sheridan of the Montgomery street sta
ton was on a Montgomery street car.
bound for the Heights, when at Varick
street his attention was drawn to two
men who were graphing on the sidewalk.
They were Driscoll and Fitzgerald. Fitz-'
gerald was in fun uniform. Driscoll wore
citizens clothes. The men had their
hands each at the others throat and
were fighting in earnest. Sheridan sepa-
rated them. He reported the matter to
Chief Murphy. and he called 1.-The two
principals and all the witnesses before
him, with the result already stated.

sOFFOKE MUST PAY UP.


In November of last year George Sof-
feke, a well-known Union Hill ice dealer,
was ordered by the Court of Chancery
to pay to his wife Celia 50 per week ali
mony and $40 for counsel fees, pending de-
cision in the latters suit for separation.
After paying the sum of SIG Soffeke de-
faulted in his payments yesterday
Counsellor George J. McEwan, counsel for
Mrs. Soffeke, applied to Vice Chancellor
Stevens for a rule to show cause why
Soffeke should not be adjudged guilty of
contempt of court, in failing to make the
payments as ordered.
Lawyer McEwan, in applying for the
rule, said that Soffeke owed his wife s55.
Lawyer Ryerson, who appeared for the
ice dealer, denied this and said that he
was only $2S behind in his payments. This
amount was found to be correct. and Vice
Chancellor Stevens granted the rule, re-
turnable before him in Newark one week
from tomorrow. Unless SOffeke pays up
