GIRLS MOB TWO JoKERS.
Society Relies of New York state OBJ
ject to Swapping Turtles Put
in bathing Pool,


A party of pretty society girls who
have been spending the hot days dis
porting in the placid waters of the Sus-
quehanna arose in their wrath, the
other afternoon and mobbed two Jol-
let Qll.) young men who are summer
ing in the section about Bingbamto on,

nearly drowning him-all because they
placed swapping turtles in the girls

The men are registered as H. De
Laney Marvin and Ward X. Hunt. They
came to Binghamton to spend the sum-
mer and move in the best society. The
girls had found a secluded cove, where
they went daily, leaving one of their
number as guard at the roadside while
the Others took the water They sup
posed their expeditions weresecret, but
the men learned the truth and pur-
chased three swapping turtles of a small
boy, placed them in the water, and hid
on the bank. While the maidens We're
padding in the cove one of their num-
Der shrieked: "My toe! my toe!" and
rushed for the bank. Clingine to her
foot was a turtle which ii was difficult
to loosen.
The men, unable to contain them
selves, made noise, discovering their
hiding place. The girls in their wrath
forgot their lack of costume and hurled
sticks and stones at the jokers 4 large
stone struck Marvin on the head, knock
ing him in the water. He was rendered
unconscious, but was rescued by Hunt,
conveyed to farmhouse and his in
jury dressed. After the accident the
girls grabbed their clothes and fed.

indoor lives, and almost all of them
belong to the intellectual class.
Usually the loss of hair begins be-

it usually constitutes general thin

general nutrition of the body are
likely to thin the hair,

 Here is the New Testiment theory Of life--a race, constant, patient effort ana movement toward victory, toward the perfect In character and result; need ing an incentive and model and finding both in looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of the new faith.
 "It is not difficult to pick the win- ners. The lean-natured man, the et- feminate man, the selfish man, the pes simist will never win; he who endures patiently the dscomforts and discipline of the running, who never loses sight of the model who cures what is with what is to be, who keeps his faith in the fu- ture unshaken, he is of those who touch the goal. The race is not to the swift but to the patient, and to him who is intent upon the Christ-model. To attain courage is a noble achievement; to sink down in limpness and invertebrate ac- ceptance of the thing called fate, to be a moral jelly-fsh instead of highly or ganized human being, with bold power of resistance and defiance, is to be ab horrent to God. Through mistakes and tears and dscouragements and slips and falls and sins, still to see the vision of God and the perfect, and to keep on running, that Is the ideal life; its un- broken will, it's patient purpose, it's un- wavering intentness, it's splendid optim- ist are dear to God.

RATS ON SHIPBOARD.

Chatting with some friends last night, the captain of big freight steamer talk ing on cargo at New Orleans told some
 queer stories about rats. T have the
 ship cleaned out by professional rat catchers whenever we touch at Liver
 pool" he said, "and between times we
 try to keep them down by trapping but it's hard work We don't dare to use
 poison. If we did the hold would soon be full of dead ratss and the stench would breed fever Our traps are of the wire-cage pattern and considerable craft has to be used in setting them, for a ship rat is very cunning beast, and he will steer clear of decoys that his landlubber brothers walk into with their eyes wide open. If we simply baited the traps in the ordinary way and left them about in the hold, we wouldn't catch dozen a year.
 "Our plan Is this: On the first night we open trap-docrs and tie them in that position with bits of string, so they can't possibly spring shut Then we put scraps of old cheese inside and leave them until the following evening. That's, to reassure the rats that the strange
 
 and that they may enter in with cer- taintylof getting out again. Next night we renew the bait and take off the strings, and, as a general thing, we catch all that the cages will hold. have seen them so full that 1t seemed impossible to get another rat inside, which is pretty good evidence, as take it, that they can't communicate with each other and give the alarm. There is nothing new about the trick I de- scribe-it Is practised on all big ships when the rats are too bad
 "As long as the creatures have enough water to drink" continued the captain, ''they don't give the crew any particular trouble, and keep out of sight down in the bowels of the ship. But thirst makes them desperate and then they become an unmitigated nuisance, and will go boldly anywhere in search of a drink have known them to invade the focastle in such numbers that they drove the sailors to the deck, and at other times have seen several hundred make com- bined rush for the water barrel It would surprise most people unaccus- toned to seafaring life to know that water is usually kept in the hold of car go ships especially for the rats It's done to keep them below and if for any reason the supply runs short there is sure to be trouble.

THE GREAT PADEREwsKI.
His Coming Appearance in This
 City.

City.
 The great pianist Paderewski will be- in New Haven on Thursday afternoon, May 10, and will give his last and only recital in Connecticut at the Hyperion at o'clock. Only now and then can the artist retain his hold upon public favor for any considerable length of time and still compel allegiance as the years roll by. Such triumphs were Michel Angelos, Goethe's, Eryant's, Wendell Holmes and Verdi's. Very few indeed have been the great execu- tants in the world of music who have been able not only to maintain, but to increase their hold upon public favor, and to find upon each reappearance a greater cordiality in the welcome, ai greater depth in the feeling, Q louder and hustler ring to the applause. But Paderewski still triurnphs.
 The advance sale of seats opens on Thursday morning, May 3, at g o'clock The prices have been specially fixed for this recital at $2, $1.50 and $1. Not more than ten seats will be sold to any one person.

A GREEK MANDOLIN PLAYER.

Several local Greeks were entertained last night with some specially fine mu- sic on the Greek mandolin, played by Temoleon Marvromekales, who recently arrived here from Greece. The instru- ment differs greatly both in tone aud appearance, from those used here.3 The body is larger than that of our manio- lin and the neck much longer, contain- ing twenty five frets, but very slender. The eight strings apear all alike, and are of fine single wire. The player uses a pick made from a turkeys quill The music produced is softer and sweeter than our mandolin music, and lacks the pronounced metallic sound to which we are accustomed.
