ing a Job as a mechanic In this city.
Notwithstanding that after 30 years OF
success. business reversals have swept
away his once large fortune. Mr. Mum

His health is remarkable for one OF his
age. he appears much younger than many
q man OF CO. and as he goes about looking
for Job his spirits have all the buoyancy
OF youth.

1913. In youth he was employed I'm the
manufacture OF cutlery. and was inter-
ested In the plant now known as the
Ames Plow company.
He was employed In the plant OF the

New York. July 31.-In an interview in

Lady audiences are all right, but the

vious means.
Il remember a matinee at Providence

For audiences OF women the humor

UNUSUALLY SEVERE ToFAGr.
Kronrrinz wilhelm Reaches Port over
- Day Late.

New York, March 16.-After an un-
usually severe voyage of seven days
fifteen hours and five minutes the
steamer Kronprinz wilhelm, from
Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg
reached port tonight over a day be-
hind time. Special arrangements had
been made by the health officers to
pass the vessel and she reached her
dock about 10 p. m. 1T was much later
when her 506 cabin passengers left the
pier, after the usual customs examina-
tion. Among the saloon passengers
brought by the Kronprinz Wilhelm
We're: George e. Arends. jr., the arch
bishop of Montreal: Prof Francis
Brown, Lord Charles Beresford Of the
British navy; William Disston, Paul
Goldschmidt, Gustav f. Kogel, william

uel Stern, Henry Untermeyer, Felipe

Hunt, Nathan Stern, HI. r. Wolcott and
%. L. Webster.
The departure OF the kronprinz Will
helm from the other side was fifteen
hours behind her usual sailing time,
and stormy weather compelled Captain
Richter to have the engines run at re-
duced speed for eighty-six hours during
the voyage. After leaving the English
Channel the steamer encountered a
succession of heavy westerly gales and
tremendous seas, with furious squalls
and high swell. The heavy weather
damaged the vessel about decks,
breaking rails and ventilators, but the
ships engines worked splendidly. The
log of the vessel shows her days runs
as 20, 492,' 3O2, 33s, 319, 4O2, SGT. 566 and
144 to Sandy Hook, a total distance of
3,15S miles.
During the passage the Kronprinz
tmade an hourly average speed of only
17.25 knots. A large quantity of mail
was brought by the Kronprinz Wilhelm
and 6S9 steerage passengers are aboard.

doing their utmost to accomplish the

but General Kuropatkin with the rail-
way for a inc of retreat, probably will
be able to keep ahead of his pursuers.
A constant succession of delaying rear
guard encounters may be expected.
Military men here have but the haZ-
lest ideas as to where the next stand
will be made. Apparently there are no
more fortified positions in readiness,
and the retirement probably will not
: stop short of Kirin or Kuanchentzy on
the railway line; and if the Japanese
press the pursuit the Russians may re-
tire beyond and up the Sungari river,
there to begin new levies the mobiliZa-
ton of which will begin Immediately
