In Railroad Wreck and Now
Company Will Buy Him
Another.

Youngstown, O., Feb. 15,-At the
wreck of the Erie flyer at Phalanx,
while assistance was being given the
injured, an incident of a humorous
nature occurred.
An old gentleman who had long
since lost all the hair on his head, and
whose dome Of thought was as bare
as billiard ball, was heard moaning
as If in great physical distress. On
inquiring if he was injured he said:
81 have lost my hat and my wig went
with it. The wig cost me $40 and
don't know how ! am ever going
to get another am willing to lose
tho hat II the railroad company will
only get me another wig"
His name was taken and after an
official of the company assured him
he would be reimbursed for his lost
wig he quieted down and appeared
perfectly satisfied.

THERESA VAUGHN
IS AN lNCURABLE
Pathetic Story Of Her Condition
In an Asylum in New
EnaIand.

Boston, Feb. IA pathetic story
about the condition of Theresa Vaughn
the once successful and popular ac-
tress, comes from the Worcester in
sane asylum, where she is confined in
the ward for incurables. Even the
attendants, hardened to the most pa
thetic sights, speak Of her case as one
of the most pitiable that they have
over observed.
She was committed to the asylum
on April II of last year upon the ap-
plication of her mother, Mrs. Mary
OFT, Of Chelsea, with whom she had
been living for over year previously
having been forced to retire from the
stage because of rapidly failing mem
ory.
Miss Vaughn, who was known of
the stage as Mrs. Theresa Haupt Is
one of the famous OFT family, hei
brothers including "Phil" and Matt
Ott and the late "Joe" OFT, of "Stai
Gazer" fame. -Four years ago her sec.
ond husband, Theodore Haupt died
and, II is said, the former actress men.
tally began then to fail through grief
She gradually became more melan'
choly. A few months before she was
committed to the asylum her brother
"Joe" died suddenly, and from thai
time the sisters illness became more
serious. Threats of suicide led to the
application for her incarceration.
Theresa Vaughn is now nearly Al
years old. She went on the stage
when child and made name fol
herself before she was twenty. Hel
greatest success was in leading rol,
in Rices 'famous "1492."

year, the value OF the ceramic pro-
duets of the state was above $40 O0O,-
600. 1t exceeded the value OF the coal
product of the state by over $5,000,000
counting the value Of the two articles
as they leave the plant and mine to
go to market.
"Ohio Is far ahead of any other
state in the manufacture of the finer
ceramic products" said Professor Ed
ward Orton. Jr., of the Ohio State uni
veisity, to the Cleveland Press yester-
day while attending session of the
National Ceramic association in that
city.
"The state has a very strong lead in
all kinds of clay products Save two.
Pennsylvania, with its immense num-
ber of blast furnaces, leads In the
manufacture of fire brick. while the
demand for common brick around
such great cities as New York and
Philadelphia causes a greater produc-
tion of that class of products than
we make.
But in the fine facing brick, fancy
brick, enamel brick, fine tile, mosaics,
pottery and sewer pipe We are easily
In the lead, and by such comfortable
margin that no other state has a
chance at the honors.
"The business is being developed
rapidly, and the Ohio product is being
sent all over the world. The manu-
facturers of the state were quick to
see the scientific side of the business.
and most plants have chemical depart,
ments and are operated on purely
scientific basis. To encourage this is
one of the prime objects of our as.
sociation. We believe the business
depends for it's success on the char
acter of work done in the chemical
laboratory.
"Ohio Is known as great Goa
state Her annual output runs from
100000 to $15.000,0O0. The Ohio
ceramic products last year were worth
$40 600 600, being far ahead of tn,

Sixty years ago the two-story brick
which we illustrate today stood on this

Jacob Shorb, the grandfather of .Thos.
and Ed. Cassidy, who now own this
fine and valuable property. When first
built this building had but two store
rooms, both on Market-onc on
the left and the other on the
right Of the hall. The hall served as
an entrance to the residence part OF
the house, and had stairway leading
up to the second story. The store
room on tho left of the hall, which was
the corner room, was the one Jacob
Shorb used for his own general store.
The store room to the right of the
hall was occupied for some time by
chandising, groceries forming quite a
prominent part. After this George w.
Sickafoose had a general store in the
room for some years. Mr.. Sickafoose
moved from here to Freeport, ILL.,,

"PEDEsTRY PARTIEs.v
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the CnlcaBo Hecoru-t1e
 Atlantic City does not propose to be to- tally ecllpsed by Newport, even if the lat ter place has tho exclusive use of Mr. Harry Lehr. As an offset to the monkey parties which have made Newport justly famous this season, Atlantic City has evolved what is known in exclusive cir cles as the "pedestry party" The game is described by one who has had access to the inner circle as follows.
 The party, composed equally of men and women, secures seclusion by renting a private parlor at one of the hotels Across the room is placed a screen, effec- tually dividing and screening the room into halves. The men occupy one side and the women the other. Of course. a neces- sary adjunct of the proceedings is 6 palm ist who Is making a speciality of foot reading:
 Suppose the women are to be the first to have their lines read. Then one of the fair sex appointed for the purpose assigns numbers by drawing. and the game is ready to proceed. The "footreader" takes a place on the mems side, and in rotation the women place their feet through an opening In the screen. The reading Is done aloud and the men are supposed to take notes. Of course the listeners do not know whose foot is being inspected and 1t is on this ignorance that the game hangs.
 Under numbers each man takes notes on the characteristics of the women as sketched by the reader" and when 1t Is all over he tries to select the owners of the numbers. The same method is pur- sued for the men. excepts that the read err shifts his position to the other side of the screen.
 After the scores have been cast the men
