ARE UNDER SURVEILLANCE
Several Persons Being Swallowed by
H United States Officers in COnnec-
ton With Chadwick Case.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 13.-At least five
persons in different parts of the United
States are under surveillance by the
federal authorities in connection with
the Chadwick affair. These persons
are being watched, and their actions
during the period of Mrs. Chadwick's
gigantic financial transactions are be-
ing closely investigated. Should the
result of the investigation be as ex-
pected, arrests will follow.
There seems to be an impression
among the government authorities
here and elsewhere that Mrs. Chad
wick was not alone responsible for her
that she had some pow
erful allies, and these are the persons

About 25 per cent. of the clerks in
the first and second-class post offices

"SHORTY" DOYLE IN CUSTODY.

A character known as "Shortyu
Doyle languished for a few days in the
lookup. He was released OF Tuesday,
having been a prisoner since Saturday,
charged with a serious offence, and it
will be funny if he escapes a term in
the county Jail. Shorty is alleged
to look upon the wine cup when red
and when he can't get it red he will, 1t
is said take it white.u The white is
synonomous of pure alcohol. In other
words when he can't get the "booze, "
he goes after the real stuff.
1t was during the escapade last men
toned that he was arrested by Con-
stable Ferris. sShortyn stepped into
two or three drug stores and tiled to
purchase alcohol. The druggists re-
fused to sell such an inebriated speci-
men of humanity and he began to use
vile and abusive language. In one
instance he fiourished a knife and is
said TO have laid it upon the counter.
This angered the druggist, who re-
ported the circumstance, and SHORTY
was apprehended later by Marshal
Ferris, who found another weapon
upon 'Shorty'sn person. He was ia
ken before Mayor Baker Tuesday morn
ing and after listening to a lecture he
departed for off shore, promising the
Mayor to stay there.

THE SIGN WENT DOWN
Thinking the Man-Eater Banner
was ObStructing his View
Gil Tore II Down.

Some little excitement was OCCASION
ed on Atlantic venue Saturday even
ing, at the intersection of the two pa
vilions Cedar ven was the objec-
tive point, and a sign, announcing the
exhibition of a ~man-eating shark, l05
feet in length and weighing 1900
pounds, was the distinguishing feature.
The sign was said to obstruct the
view of Bakers Pavilion as well as
the beach portion of Cedar venue
Was Gilbert Baker mad?
1t appears that he was. To be sure
of tiff you didn't see him jumping
around-just ask him.
"A few fell strokes, with an instru-
ment used for chopping wood, did the
work, and the man-eating shark sign
was brought down to earth; or, rather,
down in the sand.
Oliver j. Leigh, who owned the man
eating shark and had it on exhibition
did not relish the idea of having his
handiwork so ruthlessly destroyed
He soOn recovered his equilibrium
and regretted The flaming advertise
ment.
For the second time Gil. B. was
furious. "That sign will come down
again, " someone said Gil said.
In a few minutes Gil. was on the
war path ''for fair" He was, to use
a slang expression, "hot under the
collar and was about to use his ak
again when better counsel prevailed.
Someone suggested that the chairman
of the street committee of Council be
advised If the obstruction and this
suggestion was adopted, with the re-
suit that Councilman John Bright tore
the sign down the second time.
Mr.. Leigh then placed the sign on
the Casino bath houses, settling for a
time considerable bad feeling.

Heroic Mail Carrier.

A heroic girl lives in Willow Grove.
HI lame il Miss Villa Potter and her
age just past thirty. She is the mail
carrier of rural route No. 2 from New
field. From the Potter household to
NeWfield and return is several miles.
That distance coupled with the regular
mail route to Porchtown, Five Points,
Lawrence's Corner and back to the
Grove makes the route 20 miles long.
This would be a pretty good drive for
well person, but for an invalid it seems
impossible, yet Miss Potter is an invalid
of eighteen years standing, being a vic
tim of typhoid fever when she was Tor
ID years old. Her lower limbs are help
less and before she carried the mail she
was weak and pale but now she Is grow
ing fat. Her mother wheels her ont in
IA chair every morning and assists her
into the wagon. The farmers all along
the route have built boxes So hat the
invalid can deliver the mail without
getting out. She is unable to stand
alone and cannot get in or out of the
ago without help. Her father,
Michael Potter, was killed in a well at
Rosenhayn several years ago which left
his son, Frank, to support the family
He carried the mail from Newfield to
Willow Grove but was taken sick and
died. Then Miss Villa decided to help
her mother make a living. The people
urged her to take the rural route and
finally she decided to do s o two years
ago. She is probably the bravest girl
on Uncle SAINTS list of rural carriers.
She is happy in her work and stands
the long ride very well. The people,
she says, show her every possible
kindness. Her mother takes care of
three horses and cows and finds plenty
to do raising chickens, ducks and MAX
ing a living for her family. She is
ffty-six years old in years but young
as ever in mind and action.-Vineland

a story of a man who received a de-

fairly applauded. ON the train were "A

half drunken mar who talked loudly
about everything until everybody got
Disguised. Finally he demanded that
the crying baby be thrown out the win

Jumped to his feet and declared that if
anyone tried that they would find
him there. He was a little fellow and
the drunken man being almost twice as
big, thought it right to give the little
fellow a d%rubbing. The drunken
man started up the car and the little
fellow stood his ground. They
came together and what the little
fellow did to the tipsy man was a
plenty. The passengers mutually
agreed to keep hands off as long as the
little fellow had the best of it. After
the big fellow had both eyes BACKED
and several of his teeth loosened, he sat
down and never opened his mouth
again, at least until Vineland was reach
