cheek, but he was able to get on his
feet at once. Secretary Cortelyou
was unconscious when picked up. He
was badly hurt on the back Of the
head and cut on the face, but soon re-
covered enough to ask for the presi-
dent.
Driver Pratt Badly Hurt.
Gov. Crane was badly bruised, and
Representative Lawrence was the
least hurt Of any of the party in the
presidents carriage. The driver of
the carriage, d. j. Pratt, was very
badly hurt, and may not recover. He

dent was helped to the second car
riago, with Secretary Cortelyou, and
they were at once attended by Dr.

stopped for few moments at the
Hotel Aspinwall, where the party was
to have mnched, and made brief
announcement Of the accident to the
people who were silently gathered on
the steps He alighted rom the car
riage and walked few steps, and
was clearly under the stress Of great
feeling.
Only n Few words.
Then he retraced his steps to the
carriage, and turning, said to the
people:
1--WE have met with an accident.
One of the party, faithful friend,
has been killed. and our driver un'
doubleday fatally injured Under the
circumstance it is, Of course, impos-
sible for me to say more to you than
that ! deeply appreciate your kindly
greeting"

DON'T FORGET THE MORAL,

There was stern parent who re-
fused to ''cough up" when his male
offspring "touched" him for .'two bits''
to go to show. Instead, he handed
out ''frosty drool," packed the kid
off to his bunk and locked the door.
Then telling his Frau that he had 10
attend a mothers meeting at the
Eagles, he rubber-shoed down the
back streets to the opery house AID
got seat among the baldies. While
he was laughing at one of the enc
mems jokes and had his face ripp1d
wide open to the fullest extent of the
law, he caught sight of his offspring
in K-14 chorting fit to ''bust;" said
youth having slid down the ladder and
made borrow off the cook. Wait
ing until the show was out the stern
parent annexed his son by the left ear
aud conveyed him home. When he
had things arranged as usual in such
cases, with the boy dropped face down
across his kness, he raised his hand to
administer a chastisement where it
would do the most good, but at that
moment he happened to think of a joke
he had heard at the show, and he be-
came SO weak from laughing that he
had to renig on the spanking and his
son escaped.
Moral-When the William H. West
Big Minstrel Jubilee company comes
to the opera house next Sunday every
father should take his son and family
in fact and avoid any such scene as
above.

ANTI-C0URTSHIP CONTRACTS.
Jersey Couple Bind Themselves for Three
and a Half Years.

NEW YORK. March 5.-LemueI Nook
ems. of Fairview. N. j.. wants to be a
soldier in the Philippines for three years
and to make sure of wife upon his re-
turn he called on Justice of the Peace
George F. Seymour. of 113 Washington
Street, Hoboken, in company with Miss
Laura Morgenson. of Granton. Bergen
county, whom he intends to make his
bride.
Miss Morgenson is about twenty. and
is a telegraph operator in this city.
Mookens is twenty-five. and he will resign
a position in a New York department
store in order to enlist.
Before going to the justice the couple
had drawn up two agreements, which ex-
plain themselves. After they had been
formally signed before Justice Seymour.
Mookens and Miss Morgenson took their
departure, apparently satisfied that now
nothing could go wrong as regards their
matrimonial intentions. The agreements
are as follows:
II, Lemuel Charles Mookens, do sacred
ly vow to remain unmarried and unen-
gagged for period Of three years and six
months from date; II pay no marked at
tention to any unmarried woman or wild
ow during said period other than the at
tentions due from any gentleman; to
carry on no correspondence by mail or
communication by telephone with any
unmarried woman or widow. II wounded
on the field OF battle to receive care or
attention only from those employed regu-
larry as nurses, and to receive no atten-
tion from any school teacher who may
be in the Philippines during said period
l do further agree to save from my reg
ular pay per 10 cent of all moneys re-
ceived from the United States Government
during the term OF my enlistment.
Miss Morgenson's agreement is equally
interesting. 1t is as follows:
II. Anna Amelia Morgenson, do sa-
credly vow to remain unmarried and un-
engaged for period of three years and
six months from date; to receive no
marked attention from any unmarried
man or widower during the period of
three years and six months. Not to be
escorted to or from or to be present at
any church service, church social enter
tailment concert. musicals, picnic, ex-
ursion, outing, theatre, baseball game.
or any place OF public amusement OF
recreation with any unmarried man or
widower. or any man other than men,
bers of my immediate family. And | do
sacredly vow not to carry on any commu
nication or correspondence, by mail or
telephone, with any unmarried man or
widower. or encourage. promote. or foster
any courtship whatever during the said
period OF three years and six months
