A REQUEST FROM OHIO.
Information as to the whereabouts
of Mrs. David H. PENN Wanted.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Tribune:
Wellsville Ohio, Aug. II, 1902
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: About twenty years ago there
lived in New York city. on the corner OF
Cortland and John street, man by
the name of David H. PENN. In about
1865, or near that time, he married Miss
Clara Cassitty. My impression is that she
was formerly from Scranton. AS | un-
derstand that she lived there after the
death of her husband, but that she went
West some little time ago. 1t is very i'm
portant that we know her whereabouts,
If living. VIII you kindly, through your
paper try and find the desired nforma-
ton? l am poor, but you will get your
reward in another world, II not in this,
and if we can find Mrs. David PENN
you may get it in this, for there Is
large sum of money coming as soon as
we find out few things that we think
she can tell us. David III. PENN was
cousin of mine. Any parties that can
give this information will kindly address,
Mrs. G.. w. Thompson,

Union Hill, n. j., and asked for a
pair of shoes, the clerk noticed moth
ing unusual about his appearance.
1t will be apparent from what fol-
lows that Diehl is possessed of a
remarkably fine sense of humOr. Said
be to the oblging clerk:
Gimme a pair O. button shoes"
While the clerk was getting down
the goods DiehI unfastened his
wooden leg and prepared himself for
the merry jest that was to follow.
The c'erk had some difficulty in get
ting the worn-out shoe off the hick-
ory limb and Diehl observed it, re-
marking:
"Aw, bend yer back, why don't
yer?"
kinder sticks, don't it?" said the
clerk, pleasantly. With this he bent
his back so successfully that he car
ried away shoe, foot, leg and all
and landed on his back into the bar
gain.
When the boot seller sat up and
saw what he had done he was over
whelmed with horror.
Great g-g-g-goodness!" he gasped.
81 didn't m-m-mean to do it."
The genial Mr.. Diehl was purple in
the face, while a negro porter who
had stood by started on the run for
an ambulance. AS soon as DiehI
could spare time from the holding Of
his sides he remarked to the crest
fallen clerk:
That's all right, young feller, but
y want to be careful how you start
to pull off my leg"
Diehl got his shoes at rate that
he himself admitted was real rea-
sonable."

HIS SINS FORGIVEN.
Boss Shepherds Return TO Wash
ington Pleases the People.
He Ran the Capital Three Years ans
Made "a City of n-COngresa
Ousted Him in 1874 and He
Went to Mexico.

"Boss" Shepherd is coming back to
Washington. He has made a great
fortune in the silver mines of Mex
leo, and returns to his native city
to spend his remaining days in peace.
He is 67 years of age, and enjoys the
distinction of being the best loved
and best hated man that the capital
city ever knew.
Alexander II. Shepherds name will
live in history as the originator of
the new Washington. After all is
said and done, the work of the ex-
perts who have planned the future
Washington as city of delight had
the basis of BOSS" Shepherds work
to go upon. That is how he derived
his sobriquet of BOSS" For three
years he was the absolute ruler of
Washington, and in that time spent
$40,00O,OOO in making it what it is to-
day.
Alexander II. Shepherd. says the
Philadelphia Press, is a native of
Washington. He was born in the
44dAo OaAAudA y 4oB Aoo"s AAAS
were in ordinary circumstances. His
ancestors for $50 years had lived in
this country; some of them fought
in the revolutionary war. Shepherd
himself was for a time a soldier in
the late war. His father became
well-tO-dO before his death, which
enabled the boy to obtain a pretty
fair education. He entered Column
bian university. But the executor OF
the estate, it is said, stole the money
and young Alexander started to learn
trade to help support the family.
Then he became a shoe salesman, and
later learned to be a plumber and
gas filter. Within eight years of en-
tering his apprenticeship he was q
partner. Within the next - years
he had built more than 400 houses
in Washington.
His prominence in business led him
into politics. He was a member of
The Washington bee., 1902-04-12

H. w. FULLER,
General Passenger Agent.
The Washington bee., 1902-04-12

the board of common council of
Washington before he was 25. Two
years after, in 1862 he became presi-
dent of the body. lie was a member
of the levy court in 1867, and presi-
dent of the Citizens Reform associa-
tion in 1870. Then congress turned
Washington and the District of CO.
lumbia into a territorial government.
He was appointed governor of the
district, and president of the board
of public works. He had always
borne the reputation of being a pro-
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washington at this time was a
drOWsy, half-nOrthern, half-sOuthern
city. 1t had been laid out on liberal
lines but had never conformed to
them. 1t had no adequate building
laws. It's streets were mud holes
in winter and dust distributors in
summer. Shepherd determined to
alter this. He lad the power and
he proceeded to use it. One morn
ing the people OF the old town wax
ened to find hundreds of men at work
on the streets. It was the advance
guard of ''Boss" Shepherds legiOns.
Within the next three years, from
June l, 1871, to JyUS "A, 1874, Boss
Shepherd ruled Washington with a
rod Of iron. Men who began by
praising him ended by cursing him.
AS improvements grew taxes in
creased. Many men were financially
ruined by the burdens imposed upon
them. Newspapers in other cities
were the only avenues for the male
dictiOns of the citizens; the local
papers were bound hand and foot by
the influence of the "'bOss" or ST.
fenced by a knowledge that he was
doing the right thing in improving
Washington, although it was unpop-
ular at the time.
Nothing halted his determination.
The city became a hive of municipal
industry. All streets of any impor-
tance underwent transformation.
They were graded, severed and
paved, and it is now admitted that
the work was well snd admirably
done. Some idea of the improve
ments that Shepherd made in Wash
ington may be CLEAR I'd from these
interesting figures. He planted
more than 10000 trees, and paved 11s
miles of streets, besides laying POT
miles of sidewalks. His army of
men dug and carted away 3,34O, 900
cubic yards of earth. He had con-
Btructed 317.196 feet of pipe sewers
of - to IS inches in diameter; four
miles of sewers from 10 to 30 feet in
diameter and over five miles of sew
ers from 3 TO feet in diameter. He
laid 30 miles of water pipe and near
ly so miles of gas pipe. In addition
to this he constructed 80 miles of
roads in the suburbs of the city.

1t appeared the other morning in
the doOryard of the house where Miss
Hoover resides and fercely attacked
a large shepherd dog. The animals
engaged in life and death struggle
and their snarling and Swapping were
enough to affect the nerves of even a
man. Finally the dog succeeded in
getting somewhat the better Of its an
tagonist.
At this juncture Miss Hoover, in
stead of fleeing to the attic or cellar
for safety, appeared on the scene. She
was armed with a hatchet and, ap-
preaching close to where the dog and
wolf were battling for life, she raised
the hatchet and dealt the wolf such
a blow that it was killed instantly.

Did He Understand?
Go be con tinued.)

A Well-knoWn Edinburgh professor
often became so interested in his sub.
ject that when the noon bell rang he
seemed quite obliyious of the fact, and
kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the students
decided to give him a gentle hint. SO
they bought an alarm-clock. London
Iit-Bits tells the result.
The clock, set to alarm at precisely
II o'clock, was placed on the profess
sor's desk. AS was anticipated. he be-
gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck,
the alarm went off with startling
crash.
Even those not in the secret aDDre.
ciated the joke. There was Il round OF
applause. The professor smilingly wait
ed until the alarm and the applause
ceased, and then said:
Young gentlemen, l thank you for
this gift. | had forgotten it was nv
birthday. An aiarm-clock is something
my wife has need for our servant for a
long time. 1t is very kind remem.
brance on your part" Then he went on
with the demonstration which had been
interrupted by the alarm, and the stu.
dents were never quite able to satisfy
themselves whether the professor I'm.
derstood the joke or not.

and it cannot be claimed with any de-
gree of truth that the services rendered
are always commensurate with the com
pensation given"
The excessive cost of receiverships of
public or semi-public institutions is illus
trated by the fact that the total expenses
involved in the liquidation of the affairs
of seventy corporations during the past
ten years have been $1,666, DOS. 81.
The Governor recommends that the d.
vorce laws be amended so that a decree
shall not be absolute until six months
after it Is granted.

By this time it was II o'clock, and the
number of those present had reached
twenty. The greater portion of them
were English but there were also three
Germans, a Frenchman and four gau-
chos, all accustomed to Indian warfare.
Each man, with the exception of the
young Hardys, who had their Colts car
bines, had a long rifle; in addition to
which all had pistois-most of them hav-
ing reyolyers, the use of which, since
the Hardys had first tried them with
such deadly effect upon the pampas, had
