CENTENARIAN DEAD.
"Aunt" Ann Belts, 1O3 Years Old,
Kept Faculties Till the End.

EAST ORANGE. November 24.-"Aunt"
Ann Belts died yesterday at the home of
her granddaughter. Mrs. Chauncey Thorn
ton, 10 Church place, East Orange, of
peritonitis. 1t is asserted she was 1O3
years old on October 8 last. Mrs Belts
fell Ill day or two before her birthday
and when she was unable to take part in
the festivities she became very respondent
and said she wanted to die She failed
steadily from that time. She was born at
Gravesend. Long Island, on October 6, 1903
and was a daughter of Abram Won EN-
burgh. who was commissioned officer In
the continental army in the revolutionary
war. She married Joseph Belts, who be-
came musician In the American army
during the war of 1912.
Blindness was the only defect of her
faculties which Mrs Belts suffered up to
her last illness. She remembered Andrew
Jackson. and loved to talk about the il
lustrious men she had seen. She was one
of the few surviving pensioners OF the war
of 1912. Two sons. George Belts who Is
an inmate of the Soldiers Home at Kearny
n. j.. and Joseph Belts. who lives on Long
children and ten great-grandchildren
A few days ago Mrs Belts told her FAM
lily she had beheld a vision. In her sleep
she had seen two large floral pieces which
represented her two surviving sons and
five smaller pieces which represented her
grandchildren. Arranged about these were
clusters OF cut flowers representing the
great grandchildren. She interpreted this
as a premonition of her death.

"CABBY" foOLEDJUDeES
VANDERBILT WINS WITH A.
SYRACUSE CAB HORSE.

NEW YORK, November 2-Alfred G.
Vanderbilt has landed solar plexus blow
on that old fallacy that thoroughbreds are
born, not made He almost emulated the
inimitable Bryan G. Hughes at the New
York Horse Show in Madison Square Gar
den yesterday. He wore smile that won't
come Off as he drove out of the ring.
Four months ago Mr.. Vanderbilt was in
Syr lcuse with his friend. Charles WILSON
the same Wilson who has been holding the
reins on the Oakland farms second en-
tries. They had lunch at the Yates House
and then bolted for train.
At the door of the hotel they jumped into
a cab, calling to the driver TO hurry to the
station. The driver was willing, but the
horse-the horse pranced about like aristo-
cratic equines will before they get their
stride. But when he did get started the
horse made the dust fly.
well, isn't he a stepper?" exclaimed
young Vanderbilt. as he looked out at the
animal.
For cab horse he is the blue ribbon
wonder" said Wilson.
He is simply great" said Vanderbilt.
Look at that conformation and stride. Say,
this is a find. And I need a gray for my
new four.
Forgot Their Train.
The train was forgotten. Vanderbilt and
Wilson got out of the cab and interviewed
the driver.
Where did you get him?" they asked.
Bought him, of course" said the driver.
Best horse In Syracuse, bar nome
How much is he worth to your asked
Mr.. Vanderbilt
'Oh, about $780," said the driver.
Unhitch him, quick; here's your money.
And so young Vanderbilt obtained "Cabby."
In the most interesting and spectacular
event of the horse show-an event which
made the fashionables rise out of their
chairs and really shout-the humble SYRIA
cuse ca,o horse was the star performer.
The spectators did not know of the ante
cedents of the housekeeping gray. All they
knew or cared was that he had the grace
of a thoroughbred, and stepped off better
than any of the $1,000 beauties matched
against him. He seemed to know he was in
high society. And when he was crowned
king Of them all-coronation being the blue
ribbon-he literally waltzed out of the
ring.
Fooled the Judges.
The joke Bryan G. Hughes perpetrated
on the horse show judges Is still fresh in
the memory of those whom Kismet has
blessed with a sense of humor. Hughes en-
tered Puldaka Orphan, giving the animals
sire as Metropolitan ard the dam Elec-
tricty. The horse was kept in fancy box
stall, surrounded by attendants. The splen-
dor of the equine menage and the beasts
unusual name caused much talk.
Puldaka Orphan passed the judges. 1t
was not until after the show that Mr..
Hughes announced that the horse had toiled
in front Of a car for the Metropolitan
street railway on the old 69th street line;
hence his name, "Pulled-a-Car Often"

DIR. CRAPSEY'S FUTURE.
Announcement as to His Course May
Be Made Next Week.

NEW YORK, November 24.-The Rev.
DR.. Algernon S. Crapsey of Rochester, who
was suspended recently from the Episcopal
ministry for non-doctrinal and heretical ut
terances from the pulpit and whose SEN
tence was sustained by board of review
was in this city yesterday to consult with
Edward NJ. Shepard, his attorney. The con-
ference lasted all the afternoon, and at
the close this statement was given out
by Mr.. Shepard:
DR.. Crapsey is in New York to consult
with friends of his with whom he has ad-
vised from the beginning OF the prosecu-
ton against him. His decision as to his
future course will not be made public until
these conferences are ended and in no
event before the first of next week. No
notice has been given by the bishop Of
any action under the judgment; and the
provision of the canon requires a delay of
thirty days after such notice. DR.. Crapsey
will not, however, avail himself of any
such delay, but his conclusion WILL as I
have said be announced at latest by the
first of next week. His services at st. An
drew's Church, Rochester, will take place
as usual on Sunday.
DR.. Crapsey said last night that he had
nothing to add to that statement and that
he intended to leave this morning for Roch-
ester. He said that the statement as to
his intentions would be issued simultane-
ously in New York city and in Rochester.

The necessity for an elastic currency has
