Dies in Mid-Air Duel.

NEW YORK, March lon a tres
tie. not more than four feet wide, fifty
feet above the level of the river, at the
foot of East Twenty-first street, two
men battled for half an hour with their
fists yesterday A hundred specta-
tors watched the combat from below
not a man among them having the
courage to climb up the ladder and in
terfere in the struggle, which, it SEEM
ed could not end but in the death of
one man or both unless it was stop
ped.
The two men drove each other back
ward and forward along the tracks
of the trestle in fighting and wrestling
on the very brink of the height.
dozen times it seemed to the watchers
below that the two were about to
topple over the edge into the river, but
every time the pair would fight to their
feet again and resume the battle in
mad scorn of their danger.
Finally one of the men fell from
blow on the point of the jaw, and the
other stood over him waiting for him
to arise. The PROSTATE man waved
his hand feebly, as though for quarter
and got to his feet. He staggered q
few steps along the structure and foil
in a heap. The other was at his side
in a moment and signaled for help to
those below.
A dozen men scrambled up and found
the PROSTATE man dead.
The victim was Frederick Moon, 80
years old, a laborer. His opponent was
Patrick McAssey, an engineer. Meas
sey was arrested He told the police
that Moon had been annoying him all
the afternoon and at last had drawn
a knife. That started the fight.
McAssey was charged with man
slaughter 1t is believed that Moons
skull was fractured against an iron rail
as he fell.

VERDICT PRACTICALLY WORTHLESS
Council Bluffs Girl is Awarded $500
in Suit Brought Against
Small Boy.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March II.
Now that she has secured a verdict
for $500 against a S-year-old boy
Miss Maggie Hansen and her attorney
are puzzled how to collect. The only
property the boy has is few pennies
in his savings bank, and the prospect
is that the judgment will remain I'M
satisfied.
Miss Hansen was a domestic in the
family of H. A. Searle, and alleged that
one day she was assaulted by Harry
Searle, while his parents were away
from home. The boy is alleged to have
struck the woman with his fist, the
blow landing near her heart and rem
dering her unconscious. Then he is
said to have kicked her in the breast
and stomach, inflicting permanent in
juries.
The girl brought suit against the
boy and his parents, but the court ex-
cused the latter from the case on the
ground that they did not countenance
and could not have prevented their
sons act The jury returned verdict
against the boy for the sum stated.

Grover Cleveland Will be Sixtq-nine
Years Old Tomorrow
ONLY ExPREs|DENT THAT IS LIVING
HE is STILL CONSIDERED A MAN
OF STRONG POLITICAL POWER
AND INFLUENCE.

PRINCETON, N. j., March LEX
President Grover Cleveland will be
friends are preparing to celebrate the
anniversary Of his birth. Mr.. Cleveland
enjoys the distinction Of being the only
ex-president of the United States liv-
ing at the present day. Although no
longer actively engaged in politics, he
is still considered a man Of strong po-
litical power and influence. 1t is re-
markable fact that there has been
scarcely an important question that
arose since his retirement from the
presidency, concerning which his judg-
ment and advice were not sought. He
is probably a greater man now, ct
least in a wider sense, than when lie
was president, although his strength
lies not in his party affiliations.
Mr.. Cleveland has lately been
brought into prominence through the
reorganization of the insurance COM
panies after the scandalous exposures
of the investigation When the scandal
covered officials of the insurance COM
panies faced the difficult task of win
ming back public confidence, they saw
that it could only be done by placing
in charge some man who had the alb
solute confidence of the American pub
lic In that crisis they turned to Gro
yer Cleveland and finally succeeded IN
inducing him to become the head of
the Equitable board of trustees, 70
bring a new regime into the company
that the Hydes and Alexanders had
discredited
Mr. Cleveland is still hale and sound.
He is a believer in the preserving in
fuence of outdoor exercise and there is
no man more devoted to fishing and
hunting than he. His aspirations in
that line do not run to big game. He
is satisfied with smaller game and en-
joys it immensely to spend his leis-
ure time in the woods or along the
streams, hunting and fishing.

GARAGE IN EACH FLAT,

Chicago Structure With Elevator to
Take Autos to the Street.
Plans have been drawn for a seven
story apartment building on the North
Shore drive, In Chicago, which is to be
exclusively the home of automobile
owners and devotees, says Chicago
special dispatch to the New York Press.
Each Of the fourteen fats is to have it's
own garage and apartments for the
driver, with plenty of space for the
keeping Of the articles which the chauf-
feurs need to keep their charges in
good running order, and, in addition,
there will be the novel feature of q
large elevator to carry automobiles
from the street to any fat in the build
ing. Thus each tenant may enter his
automobile at his door, have it run up
on the elevator, descend to the street
and whisk away without the annoy
ance of having neighbors witness start
Ing preparations.
The novel apartment building is to
be erected by Laverne w. Noyes. an
enthusiastic autoist, who will probably
fill the building with his friends and
members of his own automobile club.
The problem of private garage has
been annoying to the owners of auto
mobiles in Chicago. If machines were
sent to a public garage it was suspect
ed that they were rented out for The
greater part Of the night. so the new
building will permit each owner to
know that his machine Is in Of nights.
He also will have some sort of idea
where his driver is. The elevator
scheme also will be extremely conven-
lent when an automobile party returns
at a late hour. 1t is intended tina.
each "auto room" shall be thoroughly
detached from the rest Of the suit, and
all will be flreproof. Altogether there
will be accommodations for twenty"
eight automobiles.

get for the verse writer's. and Miss Car
olyn Wells now lets loose at him the
following broadside of rhyme in the
BOokman:
Do you know the ecstatical. statical Shawl
His morals embarrass.
His sophistries harass,
His cryptical poppycock fills us with awe:
With a smothered guffaw,
He flicks on the raw.
Sarcastical, drastical. spastica1 Shaw.
He's a man of sporadical. radical views:
His wit is sardonic.
His style is ironic;
Upon his sub-subtleties raptly we muse
Till our minds we confuse.
And we roundly abuse
His curious. furious. spurious views.
He writes euphemistical. mystical plays
In manner pugnacious
On subjects audacious.
A whole melodrama Is crammed in q
phrase.
Yet so great Is tho craze
That we rabidly praise
His quarrelsome. moralsome. laurelsoms
plays.
His great pyrotechnical. technical works
Abound in mad mockery.
Pungent peacockery,
Marital moods that would shock even
Turks.
Yet clergy and clerks
Quote the quips and the quirks

LONDON, March 17.-Never before

generally in this city than today. The
Irish flag was displayed on many pub
lie buildings and clubs. Special ser
vices were held in all Catholic churches
in the morning, and every Irishman, as
we'll as many who are not natives Of
Erin, wore shamrocks in their button
holes. AS usual, the Irish troops in
the various garrisons were given a

Victoria and observed by her ever since
she became queen, sent a quantity of
shamrocks to the Irish guards on duty
at the tower. The shamrocks were

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March IL
Determined to stop f1irtations at the
stations with it's passengers and to pre-
vent the use Of the stations for gen.
eral meeting places, the Delaware q
Hudson Railroad company has ordered
it's stationmasters to prevent any lo1-
tering about the stations and to allow
only those who purchase tickets and
are awaiting trains to remain in the
stations. 1t has been found that young
boys and girls gather at the stations
and flirt with passengers who come IN
on the trains, and that the stations are
the rendezvous for those who arrange

GRIP IS ON NEW ENGLAND
Rivals Are Kept Out by Manipulation
of Rates on Standard Oil
Roads.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Stand
ard Oil company has found way 10
exterminate it's rivals. The scheme,
which is simpler than the secret rebate
system, is being applied with great
success in New England.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad company, which is con-
trolled by the Rockefellers, has refused
to make what is called although joint
freight rate on petroleum and it's pro-
ducts. The "nigger" in the woodpile
is that none but the Independent re-
finers have to ship petroleum into New
England over the railroads. The Stand
ard has it's own pipe line under ground
from oil fields to the seaboard and
sends the refined oil and it's products
by it's own tank steamers to distribut-
ing stations at Wilson Point, Conn.,,
and Indian Point, r. l.
The Independent refiners have made
an Intellectual appeal to the interstate
commerce commission. The commiI;ion
in a decision just rendered holds that
the New Haven roads local rate On
petroleum is unreasonable and unjust
and that the general shipping situation
is such as to work a practical monop-
oily in favor of the Standard Oil COM
pany, but the commission has no au-
thority by law, it says, to grant relief,
as the New Haven road is within its
rights.

a special dispatch from Minneapolis 70
the Chicago Tribune. The only re-
auirement is that the farmers who COM
pete for these prizes must keep two
classes Of live stock in addition to their
crop farming-that is, cattle and sheep
or swine Judges will visit the farms
and will base the award Of prizes upon
a system Of rotation Of crops, charac-
ter of cultivation, cleanliness of farm
Ing crop yield and the numbers and
quality of live stock kept in proportion
to the farms acres.
The prizes are divided in such man
ner that every farmer has chance to
compete. Three prizes are offered in
each congressional district in Minnesota
and for the eastern and western halves

is $500 In cash. the second $3.50 and
the third SIS. This makes a total Of
1926 in cash for each district, or an ag-
gregate Of $6,S25 for this year for the
farmers in the three states named. II
the number of entries and the interest
taken Is sufficient Hill will doubtless
duplicate these prizes each year for
four additional years. making a total

There are no fees or dues. Every
farmer may compete. Any intelligent
farmer on a small scale. who is relative
ly poor. has as good chance at the
prize as a richer farmer who operates
on larger scale. To win a prize does
not necessarily involve unnecessary ex-
pense. simply that the farmer shall
farm well.
