IN MANHOLE
WITH A
HORSE

New York. oct. is.-John Douglass OF
No l0s Beach street. Manhattan, wire
repairer for the Edison Electric company.
had the most exciting half hour OF his
life Monday afternoon at Sixteenth street
and Sixth avenue.
While he was doubled in a knot at the
bottom OF maphole horse that had
fallen in in trying to get out kicked him
with its struggling hind feet. crowd
Of men lifted the horse out with a block
and tackle hitched TO the IL" structure.
Douglass crawled into a manhole be-
tween car tracks about 4:S0 p. m. 10
inspect the electric wires. A few min
ut1 later a grocers gray horse driven
by Paul Doring. OF No. 100 Wyckoff ave-
nue.. Brooklyn. came Jogging down .Le
avenue. Through some strange prank
OF fate II turned out OF its way and tow
ard the manhole just as Douglass poked
his head out.
"Hi. get out of here" Douglass shouted
The horse shied at the cry and plunged
directly over the conduit opening.
AS Douglass ducked back into the
ground the animals mind feet came
through. knocking Douglass off the ladder
down which he was scrambliEg. The
horse wriggled and sQuirmed until IL set
tied down into the conduit. shutting out
the daylight and Douglass. crouching and
making himself as small as possible. tried
in vain 10 dodge his flying hoofs.
While the wire repairer was enduring
physical and mental tortures a crowd OF
men and women collected and, not know
ing that a man was under the horses
heels, watched the animals antics with
laughter
But Doring the driver, had heard
Douglass yell and he summoned half a
dozen policemen, who tugged In vain at
the animals front feet. ears and bride.
until the street was blocked with cars, all
the time hearing Douglass calling feebly
for help.
Finally the policemen called up the
Edison people. who despatched a repair
wagon 10 the scene one OF the wracking
crew Skinned up at Il" pillar and ias-
tened a heavy pulley TO one OF the ties.
Then a thick rope was passed through
the pulley and with difficulty under the
horse TO Douglass, who at a moment Of
quiet on the part of the animal passed
the rope under its fore legs. Then II
took only few moments for a crowd Of
men TO lift the horse out
When freed the animal gave a grunt
OF relief and tried TO go 10 sleep. When
Douglass got out he exclaimed:
Gee. that was the toughest job
ever had in my life"

SAYS THEY
welded
IN heaven

few York oct. ls--"We are married.
not according TO the laws and ceremonies
OF this world but by a spiritual pact In
heaven" declared Mrs. Isaac 7. Thomp-
son, a comely widow OF about 35 years,
In the chancery court at Passaic n. j.
She was being tried as TO her sanity be-
fore sheriff's jury.
Mrs. Thompson. who was left with
a fortune OF several hundred thousand
dollars when her husband died five years
ago. has been a puzzle for long time
TO the local authorities. She Is shrewd
I'm business. and her conduct has al
ways been exemplary, with the excep-
tion that she has claimed as husbands
two men whom no one else believes have
married her.
About two years ago she began TO
call herself by the name OF a prominent
physician OF Passaic. She wrote him
letters and is said TO have annoyed him
by addressing him on the street. beg
ging him to give her her true place az
his wife. The physician was at his wits
end. He told his patients and friends
that he never had even paid court TO
Mrs Thompson and was at a loss 10
account for her actions.
a unacy proceeding held at that time
failed TO convince n jury that she was
incompetent to manage her affairs. and
she was set free. Curious enough. her
attentions 10 the physician ceased
More recently she has been declaring
herself to be the wife Of Judge Francis
Scott. Of the court OF common pleas OF
Passaic county. whose nome is in Pater-
son. She kept an account in bank
I'm the name OF Mrs. Frances Scott. and
the bank officials permitted her 20 draw
checks under that name. She expla ned,
publicly enough. that although sh@ had
never been married according TO law 10
the judge their nuptials had been decreed
and celebrated spiritually in heaven. and
that this fact took precedence OF any
human regulation or statute.
Judge Scott was not present at the
hearing because he had been holding
court in Paterson. Medical testimony
was given describing Mrs. Thompson s
condition as due 10 a well-defined mental
md physical malady.

Mr. Thomas T.. Shea, who is this year
one Of the most prominent stars under the
MANAGEMENT OF Nixon & Zimmerman,
will appear at the Empire theatre next
week His repertoire includes THE
Bells" "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" Car
dnal Richelieu' "Banished by the
King THE Pledge OF Honor" and 9th
ello" besides his last spectacular success,
Napoleon the Great"
Mr. Shea's success with these ambitious
pieces has been OF slow growth but is
built on a solid foundation. He approch-
ed as n student, feeling his way and par
ticularly in the characterization OF Ma
thias in "The Bells" "Othello." THE
Fools Revenge" and the Cardinal in
Cardinal Richelieu." He gave particu-
lar heed TO the traditions left by his
great predecessors He did not accept
theseall blindly, however. but studied for
himself, consulted authorities. and built
up carefully these characters so that he
can convey the impression of living them
In Robert Louis Stevenson's mysterious
play, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" tempera-
ment has more TO do with a correct I'M
personation than anything else. and here
Mr. Shea is found to be at best. From
the leading critics OF the country, this
actor has received that kind OF praise
which serves and ambitious man for en-
couragement and has enabled him by
hard work and careful study 10 step from
melodramatic roles OF Othello. Richleu
and Napoleon with that perfect grace and
ease for which he is noted.

He THEATRES

William Courtleigh, who Is playing the
leading role I'm Mrs. Danes Defence at
the Imperial theatre this week, was a
member OF the cast which presented that
famous society drama at the last per-
formance ever given in the old Boston
Museum. IL was in the early part OF
June. 1903, and the event was made es-
pecially appropriate by the reading OF a
poem and several fine speeches by MEM
bers OF the company. the management OF
the house and several we'll known Boston
lovers OF the drama. Immediately after
that performance the work OF tearing
down the historic old playhouse was be-
gun IN preparation for the erection OF the
modern business block which now occupies
the site.
The beautiful toilettes of the women
OF the Imperial Theatre Stock company
playing Mrs Danes Defence at the
Imperial this week is attracting Consid-
erable favorable comment from the lady
patrons OF the house. The gowns have
been made especially for the occasion and
are according 10 the last imported crea-
tions They are said TO be the finest seen
at the Imperial this season and to com
pare favoraby with any which have been
seen here on the stage for some time.

Largest Berg ON Record.

Only a third part oT an iceberg shows
above the water This, however, is based
upon the total bulk. But sometimes
parts OF a berg are submerged to 1 part
showing. OF icebergs in the North At
lantic the largest on record is estimated
10 hay-s stood $50 feet above the water
line, which would give the berg a total
height of mile and a third. This berg
mad an estimated volume Of 5S4. 00o, coo
cubic feet and weighed in the neigh
borhood of 16, 004.099 tons.
Nearly all these bergs, being of fresh
water ice and OF snow, are of dazzling
hriIliarce in the MONDAY sun. Gener-
ally the shadows in the crevices are q
wonderful green, the general contour Of
the berg changing in marvellous fashion
us the day wakes and wanes- Frequently
q berg viii assume strange and gro
tesque shapes, now resembling turret-
ed palace, again a cathedral or mosque
and oftentimes an animal of gigantic
proportions. Oddly enough the polar
bear is a shape often woven by tho
frost magician. Once in a while passen-
gers on an ocean express will recognize
the exaggerated lineaments of a nation

Plan TO Hold the Bergs Back.

The principal Arctic current of the
Atlantic comes from the west coast OF
Greenland. skirting Labrador and New
foundland and proceeding down into
the regular steamer route where it soon
loses Itself in the Gulf Stream. So
great Is the effect of the spring zee in
Yaslon on the climate of Newfoundland
that a project is under way to stop
the inflow by a series of extensive
brcakwaters across the Straits OF Belle
Isle, making the passage of ice-fices
impossible. BY this means 1t is believed
that an immense area. now almost bar
rem waste. will be made warmer of
climate and vastly productive
So far as reported. TO disastrous COL
lisions with bergs have occurred this
season. although two large steamers
have made st. Johns, Newfoundland. for
repairs with bows fractured, and as
soon as navigation at the mouth of the
st. Lawrence opens for steamers to and
from Montreal an appalling number of
mishaps from bergs may be expected
AS an example of how an iceberg NAV
bruise and cripple an ocean iirer. the
steamer Polynesia bound for Boston is
shown in the accompanying picture with
her iron plates riven amidship. For
tunatcly for her passengers ard crew
the Polynesia was equipped with water
tight compartments and the gaping rent,
as shown. was not nearly so wide below
as above the waterline. This steamer
struck. during the night a lone berg
