MENTION OF MEN
BEFORE The PUBLIC EYE

New York city has its Broadway
squad of policemen, of which it has
reason to be proud, but among this
body of the "fnest," there is no one
of better physique or more manly
and commanding in appearance than
Patrolman William McAndrcw, of this
city. Like most, if not nearly all
men who are possessed of eXtraordi-
nary skill or prowess, Patrolman Nc
Andrew is exceedingly modest. and
his fine physique and great strength
are the subjects above all that he
Will not have YOU talk about.
Patroman McAndrew has been on
the Carbondale police force over a
half dozen years and his record is one
that he has reason to feel proud of.
on no occasion in handling prisoners,
and he has often been provoked to
it, has he abused the power that he
possesses, but on the contrary he
| has proven himself to be possessed of
sound judgment and admirable dis
| cretion. The patrolman stands in
! the highest regard in the community,
| in every acquaintance he can count a
| friend, and there is no mistake in
| saying that there is no more popular
|
| the town, than genial BILLY" Nc
| Andrew, as he is familiarly styled.
The peanut stands" which are
| such a familiar sight in American
| cities, often have as their owners
| dark -visaged sons of Italy, who are
| interesting characters. OF this class
| is Nicholas Medici, whose stand is
| Af,,,
| street, next to Kelly's drug store.
"Nic," as everybody calls him, is
| a ComiCal little man. He is ChoCk
full of mrth and he has a smile and
| happy saving to hestow with every
sale. mic" is also "A shrewd mer-
chant, and, while he has time for
joke, he always attends strictly TO
business. His acquaintance extends
| all over the town and he is as we'll
posted on the current affairs as the
average citizen. lie has DISPOSE
tion as sunny as the land that he
halls from and everybody has a kind
word for little "Nic." It's interesting
TO note the pride that he maintains
in keeping everything neat and tidy
about the stand. Every night when
the streets are about deserted, Mic"
| pitches in to cleaning up the space
in front of his stand, on the Sixth
avenue side. and the way he huStles
| would put Street Commissioner Kill
leen's white wings" to shame. When
the brick pave is as clean as the
stout broom in the hands of smiling
mic" can make it, the little man
gathers up his heap of dirt and hus-
ties off down the roadway to deposit
it in the Lackawanna.
| Lieutenant-C Colonel Harry Hall, of
| Carbondale canton, PatriarChs Mill
tant. who is of this week in Altoona,
attending the state department Coun-
ell, is an Odd Fellow who has
reached an eminent place in the ranks
where he has been a Jealous and ac-
tive soldier. Colonel Hall received his
present title few months ago, but
it did not come to him without his
having we'll deserved it by reason of
his constant endavors to advance the
interests of the order. Colonel Hall
Is as we'll posted a man in the odd
Fellows ritual as could he found, and
in the military branch of the order
he Is just at home. Olive Leaf lodge
and Carbondale canton are proud Ia
have his name on their rolls, and
they feel that in him they have a
worthy representative in all the high
councils that his Office may call him
| to,
