DRIVES RACERS AT NINETY-NINE.
A New England Horseman Who Refuses TO
Grow Old.

Grow Old.
Boston, Mass, Sept. 24-one OF the
most remarkable characters to be seen at
the New England fairs now being held is
Charles Taylor Of White River Junction,
Vt, the oldest driver OF trotting horses
in the world. Taylor is nearing the end
OF his ninety-ninth year, yet he handles
the ribbons over a horse with all the skill
and alertness OF a man of one-quarter his
years
The veteran driver is fond Of talking
horse. He has an astonishing memory
for a man Of his age. especially in regard
to matters pertaining TO the racetraok,
and can reel Of pedigrecs by the yard. His
memory is excellent for faces as we'll as for
facts and figures. and he seldom spends
many moments at New England fair
without meeting scores of old acquaint-
ances. The old mans sight Ia still keen
and his eyes are open to all that Is happening
about him.
At the Sullivan county fair at Claremont,
N. H., recently, Taylor drove his favorite
trotter, Robert B. Every time he passed
the grand stand he received O round OF APP
plause. which he acknowledged with q
bow. He has been racing horses since
Lexington. KY, when but is years old.
He had been trading horses for five years
then and knew the ropes like veteran.
Since his first appearance on the TRACK
he has ridden or driven raoehorsesu up and
down the coast from Kentucky to Canada,
and boasts that he has won 90 per cent
Of the contests In which he has taken part,

WOMAN SUICIDE IN RIVER.
Miss Norton q Christian Scientist-Left
Hat and Purses on Speedway.

Hat and Purses on Speedway.
Miss Mary E. Norton. "a years old, who
ran a furnished room house at 10 West
Twenty-frst street, left her home Saturday
afternoon without telling any one where
she was going. Yesterday afternoon her
body was found floating in the Harlem
River at 15sth street. There were no marks
on the body, and other circumstances indi-
Gated that she committed suicide.
A woman's hat, two hat pins and two
small pooketbooks were found on the Speed
way close to the Harlem River wall early
Yesterday. In one of the pocketbooks
was a slip OF paper on which was written
the West Twenty-f1rst street address. A
policeman OF the High Bridge station went
to the house, and from Frank Norton, the
woman's brother learned of her disap-
pearanoe. Norton identified the hat and
pocketbooks as belonging to his sister.
The police spent the day along the river
in search OF the body and about 4 o'clock
It was located near the Manhattan shore.
Norton was notified and he identified it
last night at the Harlem morgue. He
said that his sister had been i'll for some
time past.
He said that she had had friends living
near where the body was found and that
she had probably left home to visit them.
but, becoming suddenly insane. jumped
into the river. He said that he knew OF
no other reason why she should commit
suicide.
For fifteen years she ran two select board
ing houses In West Eleventh street, near
University place, but sold them out four
years ago and started the furnished room
house.
She was a member of the Christian
Science Church in West Ninety-sixth street
and was active in its councils.
She leaves no relatives except her brother,
who lived with her.

MOB THREATENS A WOMAN.
She Shot Man in Her House in self.De-
fence, She Says.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 25.-John Beller,
until recently Of Pittsburg, Is now lying
at the Johns Hopkins Hospital suffering
from bullet wound in the left side, near
the heart. Mrs. Annie Jones, aged 20
years, will have hearing tomorrow before
Justice Keplinger on the charge Of assault
ing and shooting Beller with intent to kill
The shooting occurred this afternoon at
the home Of the Jones woman. About half
past o'clock the neighborhood was startled
by the report OF revolver In the rear OF
the house. A few minutes later some men
were seen assisting from the house man
who appeared to be shot. They went
toward the hospital. The police tried to
enter but found every door back and front
locked.
Mrs. Jones appeared at the second story
window and defed the policemen. Finally
when they began to break open the door,
she came down and admitted them.
who shot that mani" inquired the SER
geant.
Il did it in self -defenoe,' was the re-
ply Of the woman.
Where is the revolver?' asked Sergt.
Arbin.
You'll have to find that yourself was
the answer.
However, she told them to raise the car
pet and they found the weapon. Mean
time thousands had gathered about the
house. and when the policemen emerged
with the woman it was necessary to use
force to dispense the crowd. Excitement
ran high and threats Of violence were made
and when the two policemen and their
prisoner reached the station it was esti-
mated that more than 900 persons crowded
the street and alleys.
To the police Mrs. Jones said that the
shooting occurred in the kitchen Of her
home while her husband was away at work.
1t Is alleged that Beller struck Mrs. Jones
over the right eye, inhicting a slight cut
and discoloring the eve. Mrs Jones rushed
from the kitchen to the dining room, where
she secured the pistol.
At the hospital the wound was pro-
nounoed serious The physicians found
that the bullet had just missed the heart
and Is believed to have settled under the
shoulder blade.

GOLF WITH MUSHROOMS.
Crop scant This Year. but Enough AVIAN.
able for Player Lunch cons.

able for Player Lunehoons.
Mushrooms are a scant crop this season
on the links Of Greater New York. yet tho
on any course In an autumn morning to
add zest to his luncheon.
Some golfers pick and peel tho mush-
rooms In the walk between shots, eating
them raw. They often carry salt In their
pocket, pinch Of which improves the taste
Of the mushroom. Other players bring
along an empty gok ball box and fill It with
the mushrooms
The season for mushrooms onsthe local
links is from June to- October. Often the
sighted golfers have taken stance to play
a mushroom instead Of the golf ball, and to
those of keen sight it Ia sometimes difficult
to find the ball quickly.
This season the mushrooms have ap-
peared In most instances only In isolated
clusters but last season and in other years
they were out some mornings IN patches
often several feet square. Certain parts
Of the links would be oarpeted with mush-
rooms and peck m easure could be filed
with them In few minutes.
The mushrooms are OF one variety,
whether found In the Brooklyn suburbs,
Staten Island, New jersey or on the West
chester county links. This is the common
field variety, with a white stalk, button
like top and pinkish radiating gills.
In the early morning the tops are creamy
white, which becomes brown as the day
grows older and after noon, save under q
cloudy sky, they become too dry and hard
to be worth picking They shrivel up
and disappear and, as the theory is that
they do no harm to the turf, no effort is
made by the greenkeepers to clear them
away.
In times of plenty, except on a special
order from a member, the club stewards
do not find 1t worth while to add mush-
rooms to the bill OF fare. but this season the
situation Is different. Beefsteak with mush-
rooms is on this account quite a popular
item on the luncheon menu.

Through two little Sits out in the front

were pressed fat upon the paper, a thing
Of beauty that appealed at the first glance
The printed matter told in words OF the
fine place whence the leaves came and Of
the reduced autumn rates and Just how to
get there.

tokened inventiveness and thought Il
was at least worth looking at. III pre-
sent the notion as tip to other circu-
