There were many moments during the
prolonged period Pierpont Morgan occupied
the witness chair on Wednesday in the
Northern Pacific Northern Securities ex-
animation proceedings, when 1t was evident
he was impatient" relates the New York
Evening Post. This was not apparent In
his tanner while speaking, but from time
to time, at the close of a sentence, he threw
himself back in his chair and looked mad
clear through His method of letting off
steam, as 1t were, consisted, first, in taking
a deep inhalation; second, in turning as
much of his back as the position of his chair
permitted upon Mr.. Lamb, the inuuisitor;
third, in expelling the overcharge Of air
through his stubby mustache, glaring mean
while with wide eyes out of a distant win
dow. He did this most often after answer
ing a question which, apparently, impressed
him as needless rather than leading or dis
committing.
Mr.. Morgan's energy was patent in his
every word and gesture, the latter seldom
varying from a nervous fumbling with an
envelope which he constantly knocked
against the table, finally crushing it in his
hand. He seemed unable to understand why
Mr.. Lamb found it necessary to ask him
so many questions to elicit one fact, saying
more than once:
Nov, IL you will let me, l will tell you
all about that
He would then begin at a point three or
four answers back, and carry the recital
probably ten or twelve questions in ad-
vance. After this, he would settle back
in his chair as II feeling sure Mr.. Lamb
could not rake up another question. His
answers were unhesitating. even when he
cut one short to draw in a great quantity
OF air, and to the point above all else. His
willingness to answer was evident, That
he impressed the attorneys who had gath
cred to question him was obvious. When
he stated his intention to go to Europe
within a short time. and hoped he might
have ample notice in case his presence
should be necessary again, the attorneys
WED with one another in assuring him,
with bows and smiles, that he should, OF
course, be consulted before being called.
And. really, it did seem that Pierpont Nor
gan was doing those attorneys a favor that
day"

Placards outside a little restaurant which
opened for business at City Hall Place and
Pearl street last week announced meals
for 1 cent" and the placard told the truth.
Inside a person might procure for a copper
coin a large bowl Of thick pea soup, hom-
my, oats or barley. The restaurant is an
experiment, which its proprietor, Bernard
MacFadden, says that he has established to
show how cheaply the human body can be
palatably and satisfactorily nourished.
Business at the restaurant opened with a
rush. The place was so crowded with per-
sons, prosperous and otherwise, that within
an hour the supply Of soup was exhausted.
There were a great many who ate there
for the novelty Of the thing and a great
many more who appreciated the low prices.
To the newsboys and the street arabs of
the vicinity the establishment appeared to
be a boon. They came in droves and went
away happy to tell others of their kind
about the new "eat joint" where the
grub was great and cost but 1 cent. They
didn't care what the intention Of the foun-
der was; they wanted good cheap, and they
got 1t.
Among the other things on the bill OF
fare-which the managers say they will
vary slightly each week-were beans, peas
and potatoes prepared with milk and whole
wheat bread, which cost a nickel.

Bertha Schilling, IL years of age, of 400
Courtlandt avenue had an odd experience
Sunday when she was knocked down by a
car and had her hair cut off almost as clean
as II by a pair of scissors. She was cross
ing Third avenue behind a southbound car
when a northbound car confronted her. She
stepped back to let 1t pass, but the side of
the fender caught her and threw her heav-
lily to the ground. In falling her long hair
fell across the rail, although her head and
body were out of danger. The forward
wheels passed over the hair, cutting it off
close to the scalp. Part of the scalp was
pulled off.
The accident was witnessed by a large
number of persons. many of whom supposed
the girl had been killed. After the car
passed by a dozen men rushed to her as
sistance and raised her up. The girl
smiled, but burst into tears when she
realized that she had lost her hair, of which
she was very proud. The severed curls
were gathered up and handed to her. With
them tucked securely under her arm she
ran to tell her mother.

Peter Murphy, a young builder of New
Rochelle, who is known as the hero Of the
Park avenue railroad tunnel collision. set
tied his claim for damages for what is said
to have been $500. MIR. Murphy said he
received something in the neighborhood OF
100000. The only thing he seemed to regret
was that his case might be taken as the
basis Of settlement with others who might
have better claims. His only permanent
injury is the loss of his left leg below the
knee. He has already ordered an artificial
limb.

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes on the Current of Life In the
Metropolis.

The shortest Legislative session New York
state has enjoyed in los years came to a
close last week with a pardonable display
Of oratorical pyrotechnics. Last year the
session lasted until April 20. Yet the ses-
sion just ended was a fruitful one, and.
from a political point of view. decidedly
favorable to the republican administration
Most significant OF the measures put
through were tax bills by which the bur-
dens Of state government are provided for
almost entirely by indirect taxation. Direct
taxation has been reduced to thirteen
hundredths Of a mill, and that amount is
likely to be wiped out next year. Besides
this splendid showing, the state treasury
has a surplus of $500, 600.

YOUNG MANS
DESPERATE ACT.
Fred Benson Tries to Fire Bullet
Into His Heart
BECAME A RAVlNG MANIAC.
Threatened 10 shoot Onlcer wilmer
And Fought Like a tIadmnn When
Taken Into custody,

His mind unbalanced by strong drink,
Fred Benson, former member Of bat
terry g, Utah artillery young man
well known In this city made desper-
ate effort to put an end to his earthly
existence last evening by firing a bullet
into his body IN the region OF the heart
That he did not succeed is due entirely
to the nervous condition he was In at
the time, which prevented him from
taking sure aim. The young man had
previously called on Dr. s. Ewing and
asked him to mark out the place d.
rectly over his heart.
Five minutes later Benson entered his
room In the operative roomlng house
OF FIrat South street took up d S
caliber revolver and attempted TO IRE
into the place marked by the physician,
lie was IN an extremely nervous state
at the time and instead Of the bullet
entering his heart II struck about TWO
inches above that vital organ and en-
tered his right side The wound was
nothing more than a flesh wound ana
not at al dangerous, The instant the
shot was fired the young man became
raying mad and began 20 shout and
scream at the top Of his voice. He
then began shooting with the revolver
and fired three shots at the walls and
ceiling.
Police Officer Miner heard the shoot
ing and dashed into the room.
Rppenu mat him a MI ppiutipn fbp frtir
at the officers head swore he would kin
him II he dared to come another step,
The officer paid no attention 10 the
threat but sprang upon the cra2ed man
and Oyerpowered him. After a lively
fight the officer secured the gun and
took Benson TO the police station where
he was l0cked UP In the womah's ward.
There he appeared to be as violent
az ever and swore he would kin him
self When DR.. King arrived to dress
the wound the young man fought and
yelled like mad man and Chief Hill
ton had TO hold him down by main force
while the wound was attended TO-
He spent the night In jail and APP
peared 10 rest very we'll Today he was
taken to the Holy Cross hospital His
name appears on the book with the
charge Of drunkenness against him,
but the charge was dismissed by Judge
Dlehl
II is said that before attempting to
take his life he called on several of his
friends and said good bye TO them,
His rash act is the result OF pro-
tracted spree and the loss Of his posi-
ton with Harry Hoyt, the theatrical
manager.
