Harry Young, a paper hanger. was Sc
riously injured and his escape from
fatal injury was narrow. He was
thrown through a window and but

cut. As II is he Is disabled by the
severing OF an. artery and 'eader in
the left arm, and the injury may prove
permanent
Young resides on the north side
and is a son OF ex-J1stice Jesse Young.
He was papering the Tate grocery a.
Fifth and Jefferson streets. At 3
O'Clock last night he had nearly fin
ished and in his anxiety to complete
the job that night moved too hastily.
His ladder slipped as he mounted TO
the top with strip of paper and he
fell.
A closed window was below him
and he fell against II. His left arm
and shoulder went through and the
arm was badly cut by the glass. The
fact that the strong cross arms did
not give way probably saved the paper
hanger from going clear through the
window and being fatally cut.
The wound was dressed by DIT. b.
B. Griffith. This morning Young was
able to be cut.

ACTORS SUPERSTlTIONs
Have Many Strange Fancies Which
 They Believe Implicitly.

From the Baltimore News
 Almost every class and profession has its superstitions and beliefs in good and bad luck; but, outside of sailors. I don't believe there is a more superstitous set in existence than actor folk"
 This statement was made over the cof- fee cups yesterday morning in the dining room of the St. James hotel by F. H. Westerton, who Is playing a number of prominent roles with Mrs. Leslie Carter.
 Do you mean that they believe in ghosts and that sort of thing?"
 Well, I don't know so much about ghosts" he laughed; yet there would be a howl If the ghost failed to walk on Sat urday night But in the matter of ordi- nary signs and omens, the generality of actors observe them carefully if not re- ligiously. A tremble goes through the en- tire cast if a mirror Is broken and if the part calls for the actor to open an um- brella on the stage, why, he would almost rather take less important part than do this simple thing. If an actor whistles in a dressing room he commits an unpar- donable offense in the eyes of his fellows, for after an actor whistles in his dress- ing room 1t is decreed by fate that the first one who leaves the room after the music will have his days shortened there by. In England (Mr. Westerton's home IS In London) IT an actor quotes Macbeth something dire is sure to happen, and over there rehearsal is never com pleted. The last few words of play are always left unsaid until the night of the production, for 1t is sure hoodoo otherwise. am not very superstitious myself but have always had an all- abiding faith in the good luck of No. 13 My wife and I once had a day off while we were in London and we went to the races. Believing in my favorite l laid 6-to-1 bet on Rougemont, who was No. 13, and. by love, you know, he wonl An other day, while we were in New York it was Friday, the 13th-I put on my opal pin and we went down to the Players club. I went in strong for bridge that day and-well. I lost nearly everything I had"
 How do you account for actor folk be- ing more superstitious than other nor 1 tals?"
 "sDon't you think it's because they are so impressionistic?" asked Mrs. Wester- | ton.
 'I guess that's only excuse you can make for it," replied her husband.
