ley AMI if they had lived to serve
out their terms, they would have

presidents more than any ether state
except Virginia and New York, and of
VirignIa's fine Tyler was an "acCi-
dency'' as were Fillmore and Arthur
five, while all of Ohio's, except Hayes,
we're elected. Since 1924, up to
which time all the presidents, except
Adams we're Vifgiguian, the Ameri,
ran people have ordered Ohioans to
the presidential chair for 90 out of Ga
years. But of all only ore, Hayes,
has failed to die 10 office and alto
gether they have served only frac-
ton over nine of the 20 years to which
they were ordered. VIM Henry

FACED DEATH MANY TIMES.
Lad Who Has Been in Imminent Peril
Frequently, but Still Lives.


Frequently, but Still Lives.
Edward Dempsey, son Of once
noted oarsmar, has been near death 9
door thirteen times, but the portals are
still closed to him. He is ID years old,
and has walked hand in hand with
death in every year of his life and never
t1inched. Saturday morning he met
with his thirteenth accident but that
he has passed the hoodoo number in
safety is affirmed by the physicians at
the Jefferson hotel.
The boy was riding his bicycle down
Chestnut street when he ran into a
trolley car at Eighth street, striking his
head against the iron part Of the fender
on the rear Of the car Leading his
wheel he walked to the hospital, not
knowing until he arrived there that he
had received a fractured skull as the
result of the accident. The doctors say
he will recover. He cheerfully bears
his confinement and seems concerned
only in the baseball scores.
Edwards father, Patrick Dempsey,
who is now employed in hotel on
Eleventh street, below Chestnut was
prominent years ago as an oarsman and
coach. When the family lived at Falls
Of Schuylkill some years back the boy
was concerned in more accidents than
a hospital ambulance. Once he shot
the falls of Wissahickon creek in frail
rowboat and it was common occur
renee for him to fall overheard whil'
rowing and swim ashore.
This remarkable lad has been the vic
tim Of gasoline accident, was hit by
trolley cars galore, chased by the an
CRY subjects Of his practical jokes and
in many other ways made the hero Of
incidents Of which he was too modest
to keep account. But the boy survived
his thirteenth accident, probably the
most serious of all, and the physicians
are certain that he will be ready for an
other one next year.-Philadelph

Confession of Mineral Poin Bank Rob-
ber-Thieves Take Old Fafmer's En-
tire Hoard-MeiicaI Law Held Valid
Expensive Fire at MonfaaSy.

The story of the robbery q the Mineral
Point Bank, for which Stewart Jelif is
now serving Il sentence in the Green Bay
reformatory, is unique in the history of
crime. Before being taken to Green Bay
Jelif made full confession. Jeliff start
ed by making a rude ladder, which was
afterward found near the building, and
then stole from the granary of farmer
in the vicinity ten or twelve grain bags
md five buggy curtains. The former
were taken to deaden the sound of the
explosion and the latter to keep out the
rain where the opening was made in the
roof With this preparation Jeliff, on the
night before the robbery, cut a hole in
the roof of the bank building and through
this put his ladder, grain sacks and cur
tains, and followed himself. He replaced
the piece cut out of the roof and put the
oil clio. h curtains under the opening to
keep out rain in case of a storm Con-
cealed in this hiding place, Jeliff laid TN
til the next night. All the food he had
was few bits of cheese. The next
nigh he tegan work by moving the bricks
from the top of the vault. He had 10
dig through brick work three feet thick,
but had finished this in an hour, when
he lowered the ladder and let himself
down into the vault. He easily opened
the vault door and then put a charge of
nitroglycerin against the safe and set it
off. A second charge was needed before
the safe would yield, and this last expo
sion closed the vault door, shutting Jeliff
out, as he had gone into the office during
the explosion. Jeliff let himself out and
climbed to the roof, coming down inside
as he did at first, and again opened the
door of the vault. Then he took the SOL
900 in gold and placed it in a grain sack
and the remainder in currency in his
pockets.
