NINETIETH BIRTH.
DAY.

A delightful birthday party was cele-
brated at $50 Cumberland street Tues
day afternoon, the occasion being the
Goth birthday Of Mrs. Mary W. ReInick,
mother of Mrs. Mary c. Cheney in whose
home the affair took place.
Mrs. Remick is as bright and active as
many a younger person and with the ex-
ception of being very hard of hearing, has
retained her faculties remarkably well.
A rather striking coincidence was
brought to the attention of those present
when Mr.. William C. Lord, also a ma
tive of this city who was celebrating his
s0th birthday yesterday came into the
parlor to extend his congratulations to
Mrs. Remick.
Mrs. Remiok was the recipient of many
beautiful floral pieces and other tokens
from relatives and friends.
The following named members of the
Plymouth church, of which Mrs. Remick
is devoted member, We're present and
contributed largely to the enjoyment of
the occasion; Mrs. n. W. Litchheld,
Mrs. r. H. Greeley, Mr.. and Mrs. o. W.
Fullam, Mrs. Thomas Wildes, Mrs. G..
w Sturgis, Mrs. Samuel Hadlock, Mrs.
l.. S. Washburn, Mrs. S. c. Hilborn and
H. II. Crandall.
The afternoon was passed in talking
over old times and with entertainme mt
and refreshments.

HER FRIENDS HOPE 1T MAY BE
TRUE.

Al ice Garlic, sweet singer in whom
Portland once took much pride, still re-
mains at Augusta, where she was taken
for treatment for mental trouble; but If
the report we hear is well founded there
is hope that she may be relieved. A rel
alive recalls that just prior to her mental
trouble she met with bad fall down
stairs, striking upon her head, and it is
assumed that this injury might have
been the cause of her malady, by resulting
in depression of the skull, exerting
pressure upon the brain.

Night.


Yesterday morning when the store OF

was opened 1t was discovered that the
place had been entered and robbed during
the night. The thief had gained an en-
trance { through back window. Over
this window there was heavy shutter,
secured by an iron bar. The burglar
had inserted screw-driver through a
crevice and had succeeded in lifting the
bar enough to open the shutter. Then
the screw-driver had been used TO remove
the putty from pane Of glass, which
when removed gave an opportunity to
reach in and raise the fastening of the
window.
The thief, Il was found, had got away
with about three hundred dollars wort h
of goods, including about a dozen pairs
Of opera glasses, several watches and
many articles of jewelry. The police are
at work on the case, but so far have no
clue to the guilty person or persons. II
is quite likely that some evidence will
be discovered shortly, which win enable
the officers to find the thief.
f. s. Pendexter has submitted to
Marshal Sylvester list Of articles stolen
from his store Tuesday night. 1t In
cludes two dozen opera glasses, six secret
order charms, twenty-five cheap rings,
eighteen cheap watches, silver and gold

He Stood by His Mistake.

When old Jacob Willoughby died
Kensington lost one of its unique char
acters. Previous to the Centennial
Exposition of 1876 Mr.. Willoughby
was seized with a fear that the mil
lions of visitors who were expected in
the city would deplete the food mar
kets of Philadelphia, and that a FAM
inc would ensue So firmly did he be-
come convinced of the truth of his
prediction that he Immediately laid in
an enormous stock of edibles, mostly
canned goods. The cellar of his
house was piled high with preserves.
potted meats, canned vegetables and
nearly every other article of non-per-
ishable foods. ~
OF course, the anticipated famine
did not materialize, and Mr.. Willough-
by was left with his stores on his
hands. He might have disposed of
them, but that would have meant ad-
hitting his mistake, and so he kept
them. For twenty-three years, ac-
cording to well authenticated reports,
he has fed his family and his guests
on the aftermath of his Centennial
stock, and when company came there
was great rejoicing in the family, for
then the stuff went faster. At the

there was still a portion of 1t left

NEW MACHINE.
To Run a Locomotive and Furnish
Fresh Air at the Same Time.


II all Is true that August Peters, re-
Gently of Chicago, claims for ma
chine lie has invented. he can not only
run a locomotive or n steamship but
can supply the steamer or the ira
with fresh air-with cold air for the
furnace rooms and ice for the storage
departments-and, TO cap il all, ii runs
itself, he says. Mr.. Peters to-day
showed his machine in working order.
To outward appearance the apparatus
looks like an immense ice chest, but
ms soon as the doors are opened mass
of piping is revealed. AT the back OF
the chest is a cylinder and force
pump. by means of an electric motor
air is forced through the cylinder and
force pump into a storage chamber,
and thence through "A series of pipes
surrounded with ice. To start the ma
chine in action to its fullest power, il
must be loaded with 90 pounds of ice.
After that it makes its own ice.
Mr. Peters says the machine is the
nearest thing TO perpetual motion ey-
or invented; that il will furnish motive
power to ocean steamships; that the
one he now has working at l13 Bed
ford avenue, Brooklyn, will easily run
900 horse power marine engine;
that il will mt the same time provide
fresh, dry air for ship at the rate
Of 1000 square feet per minute and
simultaneously manufacture ice at the
rate of 800 pounds an hour.
Slightly modified, Mr.. Peters says,
his machine. as ii now stands in his
Brooklyn workshop. could be fitted in-
to the Holland submarine boat and
enable the crew of that boat to re-
main under water indefinitely.
When Mr.. Peters started the ma
chine in action n strong current OF air
was expelled from the escape vent so
cold that in few minutes the temper
nture Of the shop was greatly reduced.
lie said il was an easy matter to bring
the temperature of the surrounding at
mosphere down to 30 degrees below
zero. and that he could get ii down to
200 degrees below zero inside the ice
boX. There was no ice in the ma
chine at the time of the exhibition.
BY means Of an air tank placed
above the machine sufficient amount
of compressed air was constantly be-
ing stored which would keep the ap-
paratus running indefinitely, said Mr..
Peters.
Peters moved to Brooklyn three
months ago from Chicago, where he
said he had lived for ~ years.-N. Y.

DIED AT 104.
Her Lover Killed In 1914, and She
Refused Other Offers.

Miss Elizabeth Jones died last night
on Campbells Creek, about II miles
from this city. She would have been
IOi years old had she lived until jan
uary next. For some years past she
made her home with Burley Wintree,
and her death was caused by IA gen.
eral breaking down of the vital pow
ers. Her death is the ending of a ro-
nance such as is seldom found in real
life. and the story of her faithfulness TO
the memory of her lover is one that is
not often found outside of fiction. In
her early womanhood she was engaged
To be married 10 a young member OF
the Virginia Militia, who went out in
the service of the United States in the
war OF 1912. He was killed at AleXan-
dria, Va. on August %. 1914. in
skirmish with the British troops. This
was a few days previous to the date
set for his marriage with Miss Jones.
When the news OF his death reached
her she was almost brokenhearted, and
although she shortly afterward recov-
cred her usual spirits and was a cheer
full and welcome companion to all her
friends. she cherished his memory to
the day of her death, and although
would be lovers came in plenty none
found favor in her eyes. She remained
true TO the memory of the dead. and
now, after nearly a century of separa-
tion, she has gone TO meet her soldier
lover.-Charleston, w. Va, Cor. Balti-

TERRIBLE POISON.
With Which African Savages Dip
Their Arrows.

During his last visit to East Africa.
Prof Robert Koch of Berlin, procured
some of the poisoned arrows and the
poison used Herewith by the Wakam-
la people, a primitive race settled be-
tween Kenia and Kilimanjaro. Prof
Brleger. the head of the Institute for
Infectious Diseases, has been making
experiments with Wakamba poison,
which Is extracted from plants, and
has come to. the conclusion that IL is
n heart poison. In cold-blooded animals
IL causes gradual diminution of the
hearts pulsations. and finally heart
failure. In warm -blooded animals sy mp
toms of poisoning appear within 10 or
Is minutes after absorption of the pol
son. breathing becomes difficult, cries
of pain are provoked. cramps occur,
and death speedily ensues. Prof Brie-
ger has found that the active principle
of the poison is a crystalline body Of
which so infinitesimal a quantity as
O.OOO05 gram causes the death of a
guinea pig weighing 800 grams within
20 minutes.
II is believed In scientific circles here
that the investigation of the Wakamba
poison is of the highest medical impor-
tance, as IL will probably prove valua-
BILE as drug having n specific action
on the heart. 1t is hoped that the ex-
periments will ultimately show the
Wakamba poison is OF the highest med
zeal Importance, as il will probably
prove valuable as a drug having a
