ABOUT TOWN,

Dir. Mortimer Lampson Of Lafayette
owns most intelligent bay horse which
he uses when making his calls. In fact
it is so smart that the doctor was almost
| thrown into the street yesterday. The
animal has a habit Of starting off imme-
diately when the doctor enters the car
riage. Yesterday it started q trifie too
quickly, swung around and almost tipped
the carriage The doctor has not had
many close ''cals" like that.

Laughlin Association wore pleased
| smiles last night to see such a large
and enthusiastic meeting in the club
| rooms. 1t seemed TO bring back old times
once more, when the club. rooms used to
| be full every evening.
Manager Charles M. Austin, Of the
| County Registers Office, who has been
confined to his home, on Pavonia avenue,
for four weeks, a sufferer from sciatic
rheumatism, is reported to-day to be
somewhat improved and able to leave his
bed.
A weH dressed man, wearing high
silk hat, jumped aboard a westbound
West Side Avenue trolley car in motion
at the corner of Bergen avenue and
Montgomery street a few nights ago.
He bumped against the conductor and the
high hat fell to the street. The con-
ductor rang the bell and jumped off
to recover the headgear. The car didn't
stop until the next corner was reached
and the obliging conductor had a lively
run before he restored the hat to its
owner. He naturally expected to be
thanked for his trouble and was quite
taken back wnen the passenger roundly
swore at him, and loudly exclaimed that
he would report him at the Office for his
carelessness.

dropped into seat in Morrow & Days
restaurant and paralyzed the colored at

The waiter went over list as long
as his arm and after much deliberation
the Major finally ordered a piece of
blackberry and cup of tea"
"Did you ever notice the difference in;
hats people wear?y asked the man who
observes things going on about him.
"WTell, its lots Of fun. Just stand on a
corner and look the passing show over.
