"Aunt Nell" celebrated her one hun
bred and fifth birthday Monday at the
home of her niece's husband ]. w.
Brownlee, of 500 Palisade avenue, West
Hoboken, with whom she lives.
Living the simple life is the reason
she gives for her longevity. On arising
she lights pipe filled with choice to-
bacco and smokes. Then she says her,
prayers, reads chapter from the Bible
and has cup of tea and toast She
smokes between meals.
AS owner of half dozen houses, she
collects rent and walks in making her
rounds. She does not use a stick or
crutch. Healthy in body, her mental
faculties are equally strong. While her
hearing is slightly affected, her eyesight
| is remarkably good. She has never been
sick, and does not know what it is to

men many probably would have perish
ed. From a 6o-foot ladder raised in
front of the building within a few sec
onds hremen plunged into the second
and third floors, and after the hardest
kind of work in quoting the frightened
tenants carried them down on the lad
der. Women and children were so ter
r-stricken that the 6remen had great
difficulty in getting them to the Win
dows. The children refused to go down
the ladders, and the rescuers had to pick
them up and pass them out, despite their
struggles.
In this weeks issue of the Bulletin,
weekly paper published by ST. Johns
Protestant Episcopal Church of Jersey
City, appears an article from the pen
of Rev. E. L. Stoddard, rector of the
church, on "St Paul and Hats" in
which he urges women to wear their
hats at all church services. He quotes
ST. Paul, and says that the glory of
woman" her haid, distracts the attention
of men from the sermon. He says: ~The
attraction is personal and physical, which
is precisely what St. Paul objects to-
that is, the display of any personal ply
steal attractions in the church. There
fore, feel sure that the congregation of
St. Johns will not need anything more
than this gentle hint"
A general alarm has been sent out
for Clinton B. Fisk, of I6 Central Park,
West, well-known newspaper man, who
has been missing from his home since
last Saturday morning. Mr. Fisk was
obliged on account of i'll health some
time ago to go to sanatorum at River
crest, L. l., whence he returned to town,
apparently cured, about five weeks ago.
When Frederick Krugal and John
Monahan, mere boys both, were before
Captain Brennan in the East One Hun
dred and Fourth Street Station, the story
of the strangest thief chase Harlem has
known in long while was told. Police
man Lawlor saw them steal a pocket
book from baby carriage, drew his pis-
toll, and showed its muzzle into KrugaPs
side.
: you chase your pal" the policeman
directed, cor I'll blow hole through
you"
At One Hundred and Twelfth street
Krugal was neck and neck with Mon
ahan
Grab him." Lawlor shouted, "or I'll
shootp

Within IS minutes after Maud Will
liams was arraigned in Adams Street
cation the charge was dismissed, and
Patrick Hunt, the policeman who arrest
ed her. was prisoner, accused of felony
in beating her with his club and kicking
her. Two policemen held her by the
arms as she limped up to the desk. Mrs.
Williams is 2o years old and lives at 73o
Chauncey street. Mrs. Hatfield, proba-
ton officer and police matron, took Mrs.
Williams into room, examined her
thoroughly, reported to the magistrate
that she had never before seen on wo-
man prisoner such cruel bruises, which,
she said, could only have been made
with club. The magistrate ordered
that the injuries be photographed at
once. 1t was proved by others that the
woman was not intoxicated.
After being tempered with an old
fashioned spanking prescribed by Re-
corder Stanton, of Hoboken, Frank Led
ing, aged II years, is expected to wake
up from his love dream. He is in cell
in Hoboken police headquarters now, and
in the detention ward, where she can be
looked after by the matron, is Mabel
Pierce, an attractive girl of 10. They
were arrested in Hudson Square Park
after an elopement and several days OF
wandering. Recorder Stanton said he
thought the best thing for Leding was
spanking, and if the youths father would
administer it the court would permit the
brave but penniless youth to return to
the parental roof. The girl will be sent
back to her grandfather.
