ITALIAN ARTIST RATIFIED.
Other Flat House Tenants KtCked--Slight
Error about the ROOF Tank

For many weeks all the tenants save one
in the apartment house at 227 East Sixty
third street had used rude language con-
corning the water. 1t wasn't so tad to
battle in, they said, but when it came to
drinking it-ugh! The men blamed it on
the city and vowed they would get even
with the Mayor and Oakley at the next
election. The women screamed at the
janitor. Adolf Bence and he, innocent
soul, investigated in vain.
The one tenant who didn't complain was
Guido Bernasconi, a young artist who had
bachelor quarters on the top floor. The
janitor didn't question him. for he had
been told that artists drink no water.
Late last night the janitor crept up on
the roof to find surccase from the roasting
Of the tenants. On the roof is the tank
which supplies the house with water and
from it came a gentle sphshing and an oc-
casional gurge Tho janitor looked into
the tank. and there busy with soap and
sponge was Guido B.rle5 ,on.
VILLAIN" cried the ianitor la uing the
artist out by the hair.
rs it not saturday night?- demanded
the gay Bchem n, reGclng for a towel
which he had concealed behind the chimney.
The ladies of the house would have torn
tho artist asunder for his ablutio MS but
Policeman Donoven saved him and took
him TO the East Sixty-seve nth street station
house. where he was charged with disor-
derby conduct. He wcpt as he was hauled
to his cell.
Was it not the community t. b for the
bath" he vailed.

slStpnt Cur,

Mitchell Bradley, surveyor employed
In Chief Engineer Van Keuren's Office in
the City Hall, Jersey City, found half
starved, sad eyed NANCY dog Of the gentler
sex sitting on his doorstep at 237 Grove
street two weeks ago He felt sorry for
her and gave her something to eat She
showed her gratitude by licking his hands
She stayed on the stoop all day and night
and was on hand in the morning to wag
her tail at Bradley in a friendly manner
when he started for his work.
The dog was fed several mornings and
got the Mary's little lamb habit of follow
ing Bradley about. He started for Green
vile by trolley one forenoon and the animal
chased after the car until Bro dley got Off.
He tried to lose her on the trip back. bu,
she reached Jersey City almost as soon a.
the car did. In the afternoon she pursued
Bradley all around town in the wake of a
surveyors wagon.
The next day he made up his mind to get
rid of her and took her to New York. He
jumped on a crosst own car and the dog
tried to follow, but lost the trail while dodg-
ing vehicles.
Bradley returned to Jersey City without
the animal and concluded that he had
got rid of her for good. He felt down
hearted in the morning when he heard her
familiar whine at tho front door.
Although he was kindly disposed toward
the dog for taking such fancy to him, he
DIDN'T want to lie permanently adopted,
so he notified the S. P. c. A., and an af-
fectonate cur was put to death in the So

WRESTLING.
The Training Methods OF Hackenschmidt

Although very few persons are aware OF 1t,
George Hackenschm.dt revolutionI2ed the

In this country. His IDEAS of getting into
condition were so unique that the maj GRITTY
OF grapplers have initiated him, with the re-
suit that the majority OF the knights oil the
mat have been considerably benefited in
the way of condition. In the past wrestlers
used to get into shape by merely working ex-
clusively on the mat. They never thought
of giving any attention to roadwork or box
ing or fencing or any other exercise that
would aid them in making their muscles
supple. The result was that while they
were on the floor either acting as the agrees
sor or on the defensive, they were all right.
But as soon as they were in standing posi-
ton their legs began to tire and they were
compelled to get down on all tours once more
or suffer chance of being thrown.

Since her husbands death Mrs. Parsell
had livod alone in the Twenty-frst street
house with her late husbands cd colored
valet, who acted as a sort of So rotary to
her, and he often appeared on the street
with her. Mrs. Parsell j. a little woman.
and when she appeared in public escorted
by the negro. who wore glasses, they always
attracted attention, Everybody in the

Two weeks ago Mrs, Parsell appeared
at Trrel Court in Plainfield with her negro
servant John NJ. Hardy was already there.
He ia a man of athletic build and about So
years old Mrs. Parsell had been in Plain

tons to her began to be noticed. At first

On Tuesday afternoon Hardy and Mrs.
Parsell left Plainfield and came to this
city When they left Truell Court it was
learned that Mrs. Parsell had leased a

but the Tine Is Peaceful.


In the grand conglomeration Of noises
and lights which made up the opening
of the Pain Fall of Port Arthur at Man
haitian Beach last night sss Of the noises
were made by two Calling guns of the
Second Battery of the National Guard,
which is commanded by Major David
Wilson.
There was r1imor up in Bathgate avenue,
where the armory is, that the presence OF
the two gatling guns at Manhattan Beach
had made some friction in the battery. 1t
was said that the men Of the battery had
some notion that it was unlawful for the
arms Of the State to be loaned to outsiders
who had no, hing to do with the battery.
Major Wilson vas asked about the matter
yesterday afternoon. He said There's
nothing in that except somebody's trying
to make trouble. In the first place it isn't
a case Of leaning State, property These
guns have not been working well and they
The ammunition used in them is paid for
by the fireworks people and doesn't cost
the State n cent.
BESIDES they were only sent down there to
be used for two or three Gays. right at the
op ming A number of mel Of the battery
volunteered to 90 down with tle guns
and work them and see that they are well
handled, VINO said we were leaning State
property? Who said the men were assigned
to 90 down and were not volunteers? |
bet it was some man who citnt got chance
to 30"
The managers of the Pain spectacle sa id
Yesterday that they did not know how long
the guns were to remain at Manhattan
Beach. I'VE took them on trial" it was
said, land if they seem worth the expense,
why | suppose we will keep them down
here"
Th're were seven men working the two
guns at last night show Six of them
wore battery uniforms. One wore the
uniform of the Twenty Engineers,
When the show was over they hauled the
guns up into tho covered pavilion back
of the fireworks arena. covered them with
a canvas cloth and left them for the night.
they said that the guns had worked
v0ry well during the show losing only six
cartridges each OFT Of 200 cartridges fed
into each gun. they said also that all
the men in the detach ment had gone down
to the beach voluntarily and in considera
ton Of 81 expense money.
Wilson's battery was not called out to
do service for the State last night; there
fore the unmiltary curiosity of some per-
sons as to the method by which the guns
would nave been taken back to the Bathgate
avenue armory in a hurry had need arisen.
