WHERE PRESIDENTS COME FROM.

The north has had sixteen
presidents and the south nine.
The executive Office has been
occupied by northen men a few
days less than slxty-three years,
and by southern men few days
over rfty-three years. This is
based On the supposition that
Roosevelt will finish out his
present term.
Only two of the southern
states have furnished presidents,
Virginia and Tennessee. OF the
northern presidents, three have
come from New England states,
SIX from the middle states, and
seven from what is now called
the middle west.
No president has ever been
elected from the territory west
of Mississippi river, and only
two men have been nominated
by the great political parties
from that territory - Fremont
from Missouri, by the republi-
cans in 1856, and Bryan, of Ne.
braska. by the democrats in
1895 and 1900.
Divided politically, nine dem
ocrats, two federalists, four
wings, and eight republicans
have occupied the presidential
Office. In the above we do not
include Washington, the first
president. 1t is unjust to as.
sign the first and only real non
partisan president of the coun
try to any political party.-Gal

BARBERS ARE BUSY MEN.

The man with the whiskers like a stable scrubbing brush straightened up in the barber Chair at big down town hostelry one day not so very long ago. and after the genial barber had 'squirted some confined air into hi: hair, ears and nostrils, said to the white-coated manipulator of the razor:
 Young fellow. you look as if yor might be pretty smart man.. Now in shaving me, how many strokes ee you think you made with your razor?'
 ''Oh, I don't Know, I am sure,' re- piled the barber, relates the Chicago Chronicle.
 ''Well, give guess. l didn't ask you to tell me just exactly how many. only want you to tell me how many you think.'
 Well, I presume about 15o, or pos sibly 115.''
 You are a good guesser, I don't think replied the man in the chair s'If 1 should break the news to you alb. ruptly you would have a fit. So I will just give you the first figure. That fig ure is seven.''
 "Then I was too high? made only 75 strokes" answered the tonsorialist
 "1ou made just 757 strokes"
 The barber gasped.
 That's just what you did. and ii you don't believe it you ask somebody to count the next time you shave a fellow. I hardly ever get shaved now when I don't count the number of strokes barber makes over my face It's never lower than 5GO, and many times the number is even more than you have made to-day. count strokes only when you make downward move. ment with the razor''
 'Hullie geo." ejaculated the barber q shave about 35 persons day" Then he picked up piece of paper and be- gan to figure. ''l'm goin' to strike that's cinch. Too many strokes for me. If l count GOO for every person that makes 21.oOo. All that for two dollars. Nit, I'm goin' to paste bills"
 The barber counted the number of strokes he made on the next customer and when he reached 775 he stopped. although he knew he had not done a good job

TORESTERS' FAIR AT CITY HALL.

The sacred concert last night was attended by one of the largest audi enceS of the season, and the program rendered Was fully deserving of the large attendance The Ideal Banjo club in their selections proved them selves even more prime favorites while the singing by the Sacred Heart quartet was up to their best record. Solos by NJ. J. McEvoy, l.. NJ. Laugh lin and James Egan were received with tumultuous applause, while the sweet singing of Miss Turner of Hart ford, Miss Nellie Carney and Mrs J. R. Scott proved once agnin that the For esters will always provide the best talent that can be obtained. The reel tation of the cDandy FiftI'' by the favorite, Miss Sadie Hollywood. and the "Dukite Snake.' (one of John Boyle OReilly's compositions), by D. F. Lhwlor brought to q close one of the best Sunday concerts ever given in the city and establishing more firmly if such q thing were possible, that the talented recitatiOniStS were away up ill the first ranks of the profession. The singing of Miss Turner was es- pecially enjoyed by those present, par ticularly her rendering of 'The Old Songs,' which seemed to meet the approval of the audience. Miss Fur ner will appear again Tuesday even- ing and there is no doubt that d crowd ed house will greet the fair singer that evening. Fifteen cents admits to all and S1 900 in cash to the lucky holder of coupons. And on top of all is the good natured contest as to who shall sing Put Me Off at Buffaloa,E at the close of the fair. -

KERR's FATHER DEAD.
He Died at His Home in Paterson
 Saturday of Broken Heart.

New York, Feb 4.-Hugh Kerr died Saturday afternoon in Paterson, N. J., broken hearted by the disgrace of his son George, who was taken to state prison Friday, convicted as one of the assailants of Jennie Bosschieter. Kerr was born in Belfast, Ireland, about seventy years ago. He learned the trade of baker, but worked at 1t only as a boy, coming to this country and settling in Paterson fifty years ago. With his brother George he learned the trade of boilermaker and worked at times in both the Cooke and Roger works.
 In 1856 Mir Kerr went to Scranton to work, but before leaving he was married to Miss Josephine Tynan, a sister of Joseph Tynan, a silk manu- facturer. From there they went to Matteawan, N. !. In the sixties MT Kerr returned to Paterson and he neT- CT left it again. He obtained the con- tract for lighting the public oil lamps. Kerosene oil was very high and MT Kerr had to figure on this in his bid, but after the cotnract had been award ed oil went down, and he benefited by the fall in price.
 Mir Kerr had this contract for fifteen years steadily. He then embarked in the general contracting business and built several large sewers in the city when there was little competition in prices. so that between the sewer build ing and lamp lighting business he was able to amnss fortune. MT Kerr was fond of horses and dogs, and at enc time engaged in the breeding of trotting horses, of which he had q string of twenty at Totowa. but in this he was not as successful as in other pursuits.
 His last business venture was at the head of the J. r. Donlevy company, whose paint store, at Main and Grand streets, Paterson, recently closed. and in this he is said to have lost $S,OOO. George J. Kerr was the manager.
 Mr Kerr's first wife died about twelve years ago. and he married again about three years ago. By his first marriage he left four children former Judge John r. Kerr. George J. Kerr. Josephine Kerr and Mrs Denner. There were no children by the second marriage. All his children are mar ried except the daughter Josephine. who lives at the old homestead, No 2G Ward street.
 Mir Kerr owner several houses in Ward and Mill streets. He was q member of St Johns Roman Catholic church.
 After the arrest of his son his spirit changed He refused to eat and sank from a well preserved only man who might have expected to see fourscorc to a helpless invalid. He never knew what Georges fate was. A telegram was sent to George Kerr in state prison.

SAVED BY UNDERWEAR.

It takes an agile-headed man to get ahead of tar-and-feather party, and such a man is Edgar Plato. q pian- ist by profession. and resident of Topeka, Kan. About six weeks ago Plato, who was divorced, married Mrs. Hamilton, an alfalfa widow, living two miles north of Topeka. After closing the store one night he and his wife started home in buggy. When they reached the outskirts of North Topeka gang of masked men stopped the horse, pulled Plato out of the buggy, beat him almost into irl- sensibility, tore his clothes from his body and then painted. him with a coat of tar.
 As luck would have it, Plato had on two suits of underwear. The gang tore of one and thought they were down to his skin. The tar was there fore spread on his garments instead of his naked body. After treating him in this manner the gang scat tered. Tn the sl<irmish the masks fell o6 the faces of three of the men, and Plato and his wife recognized all three
 According to Plato's story they were P. W. Hamilton, the first hus- 6and of Mrs. Plato; William Hamil- ton, his son, and John Wendell, a mailer of Mrs. Plato. ,Warrants Asere swofn out for the three Spen and 'te4v were arrested.
