VETERAN L|FE SAVER
CAPT. WoRTHEN OF MAssAcHus-
 FITS IN SERVICE a4 YEARS.
has Witnessed Many Terrible Ship. Wrecks In His TIme, but Has Never Suffered Injury of Any
 Kind In Entire Time.

Boston.-Capt. Edwin P. Worthen, keeper of the Highland life-saving station, has the distinction of being the oldest life saver in point of years of service, not only on Cape Cod, but in the world.
 For 34 years, or since the United States life saving service was extend ed to the shores of the cape, he has made the station under the shadow of the cliffs at Highland light his home.
 He was born in Charlestown July 17, 1887, and when Q boy of eight went to sea as cook on fishing and 'coasting vessels, continuing to sail the ocean blue in one capacity or an- other until he was 35, when he was appointed keeper of the Highland sta- ton.
 Capt. Worthen Is indeed warrior Of the sea. a triumphant fighter of the stoEms that sweep the coast. life save9 who has witnessed some of the most awful scenes of terror at times of sh1pwreck and when duty has called he has risked hts life.
 In the 84 years of service as lifa saver he has assisted at nearly all the wrecls that have occurred in the region of the Highlands" yet he never received an injury of any kind In that whole time.
 Capt Worthen was appointed keep. CT of the Highland station. strange though it may seem. before the buHd. ing was erected and the first wreck that he went to after his appointment occurred before the station was occu- pied. The wreck was on Christmas night, 1872. and the captain says that he will never forget it.

Atlantic journey in four and one-half days, clipping day and half from the fastest time of the German ex. press steamers.
 The vessels will leave Liverpool on Saturday afternoons and will land passengers in New York on the fol lowing Thursday morning. Their maximum speed will be 28 knots, or 30 1-2 miles an hour, and they will consume three-quarters of ton of coal a minute, about 1000 tons day.
 The Lusitania has just left the builders hands. while the Maritania Is to be launched in few weeks. The two vessels are believed by nautical experts to set standard that will not be surpassed for quarter of cen. tury and may exist for 50 years.

a rope over his right leg and threw the other end over shaft about eight feet overhead and secured 1t. The next moment shriek of agony made the men desert their machines and stand back horror-stricken at the ghastly sight which confronted them.
 Dangling by the rope from the shaft was a human leg. and further an arm, clutching the rope with convulsive- ness of a death grip. Below on the floor lay the bleeding body of Getz. ner, horribly mangled, with the face battered almost beyond recognition. The men turned away sick at heart. The shaft kept revolving with the ghastly evidence attached to it. Final. ly one man broke away from the group and running to the engine room, yelled to Engineer Alexander Schiller:
 Stop the machinery! A man has been killed!"
 Schiller stopped the machinery and then went back with the man to the mixing room. By this time the fore man had appeared. The workmen were busy cutting down the leg and the arm from the shaft. When they had completed this work they were sent back to their machines. Then it was found that No. 203" was miss ing. Immediately the crime was fas- tened upon him.

TWO CHIMNEY BUILDERS ARE
 MAROONED l54 FEET IN AIR
Caught Narrow Plank Near Top of Big Flue-- Tear Shirts Into Strings, Pull UP Rope and
 Slide to Safety

New York.-Two men were held prisoners inside the new reinforced concrete chimney at steel plant at Mariners Harbor, 8. l., for 51s hours the other afternoon. They were on a plank six feet long by two feet wide ten feet from the top of the chimney, which is 164 feet high.
 Their rescue was effected after a long struggle by other employees and members of the fire department, who were called to aid in getting the men down. The prisoners on the chimney were Harry Towyne, foreman of the job, and Conried Briol, his assistant Both are expert chimney builders. ; The work had been practically fln- ished when the men went up to do some cementing near the top. A lad der 16S feet long in 12-foot sections had been rigged up inside the chim- ney. Towyne and Briol climbed up this at one o'clock.
 They cemented the top or rim of the chimney, then climbed down to a scaffolding that had been built .sn feet below the top, when small lad. der they had used in reaching the top dropped. Towyne and Briol began to rip up the floor of the scaffolding. They had ripped up all the timbers but one-the largest-the centerpiece of the scaffold. They stood on this as they dropped the last of the other boards.
 The last plank they dropped didn't go straight to the bottom. but struck on the side of the chimney and, glanc- ing, crashed heavily into an upright ladder some distance below the two men. The force of the plank snapped the ladder and the upper half of it tumbled in a heap below.
 The two men found themselves ma rooned high up with only a plank two feet wide to stand on. They cried for help for what seemed to them days About five o'clock the other workmen around the plant walked into the chimney ground level and heard the cries of the two pris- oners.
 News of the mems plight spread quickly. Soon large crowd was at the bottom of the biz flue. All sorts of schemes for getting them down were advanced.
 While the crowd was collecting, among them members of a fire com pany, the marooned men were trying to help themselves. They made their

MAN IN EMPIRE GOWN
 MAKES HIT AT NEWPORT
One Dudley Morgan Suddenly Finds Fame by Invading Casino Dance
 BeWitchlngly Attlred.

Newport, R. I.-At the Casino dance the other night there was a sensation which the governors of that aristocrat- ic place say will not occur again. It was the sensation of the dull season.
 A young man, dressed as a woman, appeared in the gold and white thea. ter and danced and flirted as wom- an. The young man in question was Dudley Morgan, son of William Rog- CTS Morgan, who owns a villa on Rhode Island avenue.
 The young man had been at din- ner for young people, and he entered the Casino theater with Miss Pauline French, daughter of Mrs. Henry French, and a niece of Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt.
 When Morgan. superbly gowned in white embroidered net, in empire style, with coral necklace, long, white suede gloves, Japanese fan, and

AIRY CARE SHOCKS VILLAGERS.
Inhabitants of Physical Culture City"
 Cause Bushes In Bucolic Bura.

Spotswood, N. J.-Farmers and oth- CTS who have never travelled ten miles away from the idyllic spot and who therefore have never visited the seashore and seen sylph-like maids in bewitching bathing suits have been shocked by the sight of the inhab- ltants of Physical Culture City, sev- eral of whom wander sbout clad in a sketchy and aboriginal manner.
 That many believe in this plan was evident the other day.
 A lank fellow who had been pufing vigorously about in the lake finally swam ashore and, running to a sand bank. threw himself at full length, near handsome girl gracefully clad. He wore a pair of short swimming trunks. Not far away lay the girl who for an hour or SO had been basking in the sun. She was dressed in a tight fitting sleeveless jersey and a pair of bloomers that were gathered tightly several inches above her knees. She wore a pair of leather sandals that re- vealed sun-browned toes.
 In the gymnasium the leader. an athletic young fellow. whose muscles heaved in knots under his ruddy skin. wore a jersey and trunks that had left much of the bolt of material from which they were taken. All the girls wore blOomers, and one or two of them had on stockings.
 The villagers assert that men and women scantily attired have been seen in Spottswood. Where they came from the residents do not know. Last Sunday several men and women. dressed in garb less formal than bathing suit. passed through the vii. lage. apparently on a walking match. Their bare arms and legs shone brightly in the bright sunlight, .and solemn villagers took one glance. blushed profusely and then hid their faces in their kerchiefs.

blond wig, with jewels in the hair, came in with Miss Pauline French and seated himself all eyes were cen tered on him.
 As Mullaly's orchestra started the music, Little Girl, You'll Do," for the waltz. several of the men present went toward the stranger, thinking it was some one they knew. but upon closer view the joke was discovered. and the ballroom was in an uproar. Sidney Colford, not to be baked, took the "lady" on the floor, and danced with "her" amid great laughter.
 Morgan was one of the guests at a dinner given by Mrs. Edward c. Knight, Jr., and while there it was suggested that surprise be s'rung at the dance to which all the guests were invited. Morgan was selected to impersonate woman, and the excel lence with which he played his part has suddenly placed him in the same class with Harry Lehr as the creator of Newport summer sensations.
