SUES FOR so CENTS
Wealthy Neiahbors in Litigation
Over Trlfle

UTICA, N Y, Oct. 15.- Arrow among
wealthy neighbors has divided the town of
Whiteshore. Mrs. Carolyn Halliday has
sued H. E. Brocy, a pillar in the Methodist
church, for SO cents. A little white calf is
the cause, and the resultant case has all
the legal obliquity of the famous Iowa
calf litigation, that went to the United
States supreme court three times.
A few nights ago bolt of hghtnmg
set fire to a barn on the Halliday prem
ises, after which white calf was missed.
Brocy. who occupies the adjoining farm,
found it and sold it to a Vermont farmer.
He did not know who owned it, but OF
fered to turn over the money received
Mrs. Halliday demanded the calf, ana
Brocy figured out how many quarts OF
milk it must have drunk, basing his COM
putation on the shortage that was notice
able in the product from the COW that fed
it, Under protest the claim was PAID but
Mrs. Halliday at once brought suit to re-
cover the half-dollar.
While Mr.. Brocy attended prayer meet
ing last evening a constable stood on the
steps with a summons and served 1t al
the end of the services. Both OF the par
ties named in the action are wealthy, but

TRAP W0ULD 'TOPEN
Hero of GaHows Miracle Soon
to Be Given Freedom


LONDON, Oct 15.-The annals of crime
afford no more thrilling or grewsome
scenes than those in which John Lee, now
about to be released after twenty years
of penal servitude, was actor. A servant,
he was convicted of numbering his mis-
tress an elderly woman of Deyonshire.
The motive suggested was that she had
reduced his wages IL cents week.
When placed on the scaffold and the
lever was pulled the trap refused to work.
Again. the. lever was pulled without avail.
Then the hangman and the warden,
standing each side of Lee, tried to force
the trap down, but failed. With the rope
around his neck Lee was marched aside,
when the trap immediately opened Lee
was again placed in position and again
all efforts of the hangman and two war
dens failed to force the trap open, and
amid a scene of terrible exciternen dur
ing which one warden tainted, the con-
demned man was again marched off, when
again the trap worked WITHOUT difficulty.
A third time this awful scene was en-
acted, with the same result, and the sher-
ifs, unable to bear the strain any longer,
ordered that the proceedings stop. On
the facts being reported to the home secre-
tary he commuted Lees sentence to penal
serVitude for life
Lee himself acted like dazed man, al
lowing himself to be led backward and
forward mechanically. The only words he
| uttered We're, 81 am innocent"
No satisfactory explanation of the fail
ure of the trap was ever given. A white
pigeon tiuttered round the scafold during
the attempts to hang him.

ROMEO CT IMBS THE [
Talks to His Imprisoned Bride
TIL Police Appear


NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Edward Carroll
and Estella Hertzman. two young people,
who dwell in Brooklyn, enacted modern
Romeo and Juliet drama, much to the
disgust of the girls parents, on Monday
night Her balcony was the bay window
of her parents home, on the third floor of
the fiat house at Broadway and Linden
street In the absence of a vine Carl
climbed up an elevated railroad pillar
and from that point of vantage held con-
verse with Esteila until the police chased
him away.
The Hertzmans did not encourage the
attentions of Carroll to their daughter,
and when they came home a week ago
and announced that they had been mar
ried the wrath of her father caused both
to flee. The father brought the girl back
and announced that she would have to
stay in the house until he took steps to
have the marriage annulled. CARROLL, who
is employed by the Brooklyn Rapid Trans
it company, is twenty-six years old, Whlle
his wife is only fifteen.
Driven to desperation over the separa-
ton from the girl, Carroll decided to COM
municate with her or die in the attempt.
From the street in front of her home he
could see her in the third story window,
but conversation at that distance was out
of the question. So he climbed warily up
on the elevated structure in front of the
house. and sat on the edge, where he was
in danger of being struck by passing
trains. For only few minutes he was
able to talk, for the girls mother diseov-
! cred the young man and called the po-
lice. He protested that he had right to
talk to his wife, but they told him to run
along, and he took their advice. Now
Estella is disconsolate.

HEARING, NOT TOUCH,
DEVELOPS THE BLIND
DR.. Heller of Vienna, ProcIaims Alleged
Discoveries He Has Made

VIENNA, Oct 15.-Dr. Heller, director
of the Jewish Institute for Blind Chill
dren, describes some highly interesting
and important observations which he has
made in recent years.
He insists that educators of the blind
are wrong in assuming from the first that
the mind Of the blind is awakened and
instructed by the sense of touch. He says
that the progressive phenomena of a
blind child develop so infinitely as to be
microscopical. Close study has revealed to
him, he asserts, that, except in those who
are also deaf, the blind are developed
mentally by hearing, not by touching.
This explains why so many of the blind,
led by fancy and Imagination, exist in a
dream life, which, while it makes poetical
beings of them, also renders them a prey
to distress and misery
DR.. Heller lays down the law that
schools for the blind of the future must
teach them to recognize by the ear what
they have learned to conceive by touch
ing-material, dimensions, form, numbers
and so on.
\ He says, too, that in teaching them
great attention must be devoted to chang
ing the passive imagination of the blind
into an active Imagination, process very
slow because the blind are nearly en-
thralled by passive Imagination. But it is
this change to active Imagination which
awal1ens the creative power in them
The change can be effected slowly by
giving blind children freedom in their
play, by letting them represent in their
own way what they grasp of nature and
life. and placing at their disposal mate
rails and tools and leaving to them what
they will make with them and how they
will set about it.
But Dr. Heller says with emphasis that
their teachers should never forget that
the hand of the blind is the organ that
at once understands and executes, and
that if they are rightly taught to perceive
their manual capacity must be the most
perfect of all.

SCORNS TO BEHAVE
LIKE ENOCH ARDEN
Wife Returns to Husbands Home Aft
err Long Absence and Starts Fight

NEW YORK, Oct. ia female
"Enoch Arden" appeared in Kings
bridge yesterday, but, unlike the fam
Gus character of Tennyson, she did not
go quietly away, leaving the field to
her successor. Instead Mrs. George
Shrady, wife of one of the chief heirs
to the famous Bailey estate, finding
Miss Ella Tucker, who she was led to
believe was another wife of Shrady,
in an upstairs room of the house from
which the wife disappeared three years
ago, seized her by the throat and, drag
ging her downstairs, was vigorously
pummeling her when George Shrady
walked in
At this the female 'Enoch Arden
sprang at her husband and a furious
struggle ensued. At it's height a mys-
ferrous man in black, who had escorted
Mrs. Shrady back to her home, en-
tered, and while he engaged Shrady,
the returned wife renewed her attack
on Miss Tucker.
They fought all over the first floor
and then out on the beautiful lawn,
which surrounds the fine old Bailey
mansion. Neighbors telephoned for the
police and the entire party was escorted
to the Kingsbridge station.
1t was there set forth that George
Shrady, who describes himself as
man of leisure, six years ago was mar
ried to the woman who yesterday re-
appeared as mySteriouSly as She had
disappeared three years ago. Her maid
en- name is not known. Neither of
them would reveal it, nor would the
mysterious man in black reveal his
identity.
It was told to the police that prior
to the disappearance. of Mrs. Shrady
Miss Tucker had become an inmate of
the house. Then one day the wife
mysteriOusly disappeared. She left no
word behind, and three long years
passed without news of her. Yesterday
while Shrady was out his wife returned
to the old homestead. She entered by
the back door and at once made her
way upstairs. In a handsomely fuY-
nished boudoir the wife found Miss
Tucker. Not a word was spoken by
either. Mrs. Shrady threw one arm
around the young woman's neck. With
her free hand she seized Miss Tuck
er's hair and slowly, resolutely dragged
her down stairs.
Then ensued the fierce struggle in
the dining room, which was continued
in the parlor where the husband and
the stranger became engaged, and was
carried on through the parlor window
to the lawn, where the police inter
fered
rs this woman your wife," asked the
police sergeant.

L married him six years ago." said
the wife.
And three years ago you left me-
interrupted Shrady. 81 have heard
nothing from you since until today
You are not my wife. 1 refuse to rec

Nevertheless, you are his wife," re-
sumed the sergeant. And since he re-
fused to recognize you or admit you tc
his home, L advise you to go to court

ly.
At the door of the police station tht
party separated, and again the wife and
the mysterious man in black disap-
peared.

HAS CHARMED LIFE
Victim of Many ''Fstsi" Acct.
dents Survives Them All /.

WINGo. KY, Oct. 15.-These things
have happened to William T. Thorn
brough, of this place:
He has been pronounced fatally in
jured five times.
He has broken nearly every bone in
his arms and legs.
His scalp has been torn from his
head.
His neck has been dislocated.
His face has been battered out of
resemblance to a human being.
His ribs have been fractured.
His lungs have been ruptured.
He has fallen into a well thirty
three feet deep.
He has been run over by a hand ear.
He has fallen from high trapeze,
dislocating his neck.
He has fallen from a second story
window, striking on his face.
He has been gored by vicious bull.
Having a great life ahead of him to
do in the accident line, the boy started
>arly.
sTsWilIie was scouting about the coun-
4vy in the vicinity of his home and
came upon we'll which had gone dry,
but which had not been filled UP or
covered over. Willie had a large bump
of inquisitiveness, and the well was
challenge to him. He climbed up on
the curb and leaned over and peered
into the depths. His eye did not i'm
medfately become accustomed to the
darkness in the well and he leaned
further over The curb had decayed
and it collapsed under his weight, and
Willie went head first to the bottom
of the we'll. 1t was thirty-three feet to
the bottom, and when Willie reached
it his bump of inquisitiveness had di-
unfinished noticeably, but he had many
other bumps to compensate for its
shrinkage.
THAT was thirteen years ago. Since
that William has had four other ia
tar accidents and lot of less impor-
tant ones, and still lives.
