DEATH OF PROF. FORD

Those who were looking forward with
pleasurable anticipation to the entertain
ment which Prof. S. T. Ford, the cele-
brated elocutionist and delineator OF
negro character, was to have given at the
Opera House here on Friday night, were
shocked and panied when they read in
the morning papers Friday that Prof
Ford had died of apoplexy on a ferry
boat between New York and Jersey City.
Many tickets had been sold, the Opera
House rented and all preliminary prep
arations made for the entertainment.
He was due at Epworth Church, Will
mington, on Thursday night and was to
have come from there here. 1t is great
disappointment to the Epworth League
under whose auspices the entertainment
was to have been given.
Prof. Ford was reared in Somerset
County, Md, and the remains will be
taken to Crisfield for interment. Hon.
A. Lincoln Dryden, sub-treasurer at Bal
timore is nephew of the Professor. He
was well-known throughout the Penin-
sula and the intelligence of his sudden
taking off will he read with sorrow by
his many friends and admirers. Money
will be refunded to those who had bought
tickets by applying to Mrs. Jesse L.
Shepherd.

WIFE
SLAVE OF DRINK
Mrs. Richard Dorney, Arrested
While Staggering in Streets
of Richmond Hill, Is Sent to
Queens County Jail.

The apparent indifference OF Richard
Dorney, for so many years the right
man OF Augustin Daily. to the plight
of his wife when she asserted that she
had been waylaid and assaulted while
leaving Calvary Cemetery last spring.
has been explained by her commitment
to the Queens County Jail for three
months for intoxication. The unfortun-
ate woman Is a slave to the drink habit
The intimate friends OF Mr.. Dorney
haYe known for a long time that his
wife was gradually yielding to the So
ductions OF the bottle. but It was q
secret we'll kept outside OF a close circle.
Consequently there was a great deal OF
comment when the news of the assault
upon Mrs. Dorney was printed.
She told the police that on a lonely
road in the Blissy1lle section of Long
Island City she had been held up by
n crowd OF young q An investiga-
ton was made and several youths were
arrested. Mr.. Dorney. who was in Chi
cage at the time. hurried to New York
and looked INTO the affair.
Then came the surprising announce
ment that he would take 40 part in the
prosecution OF the alleged assailants or
his wife. Mrs. Dorney vent TO Massa-
chusetts. the prisoners were discharged
and interest In the case died away
Since the return OF Mrs. Dorney to
her Long Island home she has been
taken to her house by policemen on
several occasions. The last time she
succumhed to the habit she had con-
tracted her condition was such that 1t
became necessary to lock her up.
She was kept in the station house at
Richmond Hill all night. and notwith-
standing her pltiful appeals for clemency
in Magistrate Healey's court at Far
Rockaway she was sent to Jail for a
long term. None of her friends or rela-
tives was in court to lntercede for her.
and she has been unable to secure a
surety on a $500 bond to keep the peace.
Mrs. Dorney's maiden name was Kath-
crime Kelly. She comes from a well-to-
do family and has several children. Her
husband is one of the best known the
atrical managers in the United States.
He was not only the business associate
but the friend OF Augustin DAILY, At

LETS MCCLELLAN
CRACK THIS NUT
Mayor Low Decides to Turn the
Proposed Widening of Fifty
ninth Street Over to the New
Administration.

The old project OF widening VfftJS
ninth street. in contemplation Of IN
creased trafic on the completion Of the
new Blackwelrs Island bridge, was
again taken up to-day by the Board q
Estimate and Apportionmsnt
For nearly two years the proportions
TO widen the th~oroughfare has been BE-
fore the Board. Numerous hearings
have been had. which were largely at
tended by prominent business men.
property-owners. Taxpayers and rep
resentatives Of the Metropolitan Rail-
Dad Company. which II vitality inter
ested in the proposed Improvement.
After the brief hearing to-day Mayor
Low announced that ne was unable to
definitely determine just how the street
shall be widened. and suggested that
the matter be left over for inal action
OF the incoming administration.
The Mayor read a report by Herbert
c. Floss, designated by the Corpora
ton Counsel to make an estimate OF
the cost OF widening the thoroughfare
twenty feet by taking the needed space
from the north side OF the thorough
fare. His estimate is that the expense
would exceed $1,000, 900.
This sum. several property-owners de-
clared, was insignificant compared with
the good that would result. Other
property-owners insisted that the
needed space should be taken from. the
south side OF the street. Still others
asserted that all that WIS neces1r"
was to n the side walk narrow on
each Side OF the ~thoruughfare.
Mayor Low was not convinced that
either proposal was right, and so de-
cided to let Mcclellan settle It when he
becomes Mayor.

EASY TO ROLL UMBRELLA.

Every mar who owns an umbrella has
wondered at some time or other why 1t
is that he can never roll 1t up as corr
pactly and neatly as It was rolled when
he bought It. Instead OF twisting with
the handle. you should take hold of the
umbrella just above the points of the
cover ribs. These points naturally lie
evenly around the stick. Keep hold OF
these. pressing them tightly against the
stick. and then roll up the cover. Hold
ing the RIB prevents them from getting
twisted out OF place or bending out OF
shape. Then the silk is bound to fold
evenly aid roll smooth ana tight. When
the umbrella is rolled in this way It will
last twice as long. And until It gets TOO
old. II will always look just assgood as
1t did on tho day-it was boughSS

CLEVER FOOLS.
4 Discourse ON the Usefulness OF
some of the Types.

Into the ''clever fool class come two
very rare and superior kinds. IA the
London Spectator. one may live a life
time and not encounter more than one
of each. But tLey do exist. We mean
the learned fool is II fact glutton,' IL
we nay be allowed the expression. He
has more appetite for knowledge than
power to assimilate IT, Kept In his
place. he Is useful as a kind of index to
other men: but once let him get what
Scotch people call above himself m
he will begin to use his facts a missiles
and become a great Intellectual hanger.
The cultivated fool mas lived in the rot
house atmosphere OF a highly cultivated
clique till he literally smells OF culture
but the source OF the aroma Is not In
his own mind, and II put out to air
Phillstines for a sufficient period
ne will lose all traces OF his much
priced artinciality. 1t Is a great bore 10
be obliged to observe for any length OF
time the antics of this type of fool: but
they are amusing some times to tell
about.
