Shock to His Friends.
The news Of the death Of Mr.. Stickney
was somewhat of a shock to his associates
at the department. Although it was known
he had been In bad health, 1t was not an
ticipated that the end would come so sud
denly. Mr.. Stickney was at the depart
ment for short time last Friday, and ap-
parently was no worse in health than he
had been for several weeks before.
Mr.. Stickney was one Of the oldest en-
1t appears from the official records of the
Navy Department that he was appointed a
clerk in the fourth auditors office, Treas
ury Department, in the year 1857. After
three years of service in the Treasury De-
partment he was transferred in May. 1861.
to the Navy Department as 81. 600 clerk
in the office of the Secretary.
In July, 1855, he was promoted to an
of efficient services, he was again promoted
disbursing clerk Of the Navy Department,
with an annual salary of $2,25O. For the
thirty-two years following he faithfully
discharged the exacting duties of that i'm
portant office and handled many million
dollars Of government money with the
strictest integrity and to the satisfaction
of his superiors well as to the satisfac-
ton Of the employees and outside parties
having financial transactions with the de-
partment. He made his financial settle
ments promptly and accurately, and. so far
as known, left all the accounts of his office
in good condition.
In accordance with the custom in such
cases an official examination of Mr.. Stick
ney's books and accounts will be made In
day or two. AS soon as Mr.. B. F. Peters,
chief clerk of the Navy Department, was
informed of the death of the disbursing
clerk, he proceeded to his office, and, in
company with Mr.. Croxall. assistant to the
disbursing clerk. and Mr. F. L. Stickney.
son of the deceased official, gathered up all
the books and papers in the office and
locked them up In the Office safe, where
they will remain until the officers of the
Treasury Department are prepared to ex-
anime them and close the accounts of the
late disbursing officer.

PRAISES THE AGENT.
President Scovel Says He is the Main
stay Of Life Insurance.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, October 23.-The seven
teenth annual convention OF the National
Association of Life Underwriters began
here today. Many questions of vital inter-
est affecting the insurance business will be
exclusively discussed during the three
day session.
About 200 delegates were present when
the convention was called to order by Presi-
dent Charles w. Scovel of Ptttsburg Pa
Mr.. Scovel spoke of the responsibility
resting on the insurance agent, and said
that he was more than the mere hired man
of the company. He, said Mr.. ScoveI. is in
much closer daily touch with the friends
and neghbors whom he induced to insure,
and his sense Of personal responsibility to
them is constantly before him. His service
to them is only begun with writing the ap-
plication: it continues year after year In the
collection of premiums, readjustment of
beneflciaries, making of loans. and so on,
until its elimination in helping to make
proofs of claim and turning over the pro-
ceeds. At every point he is the interme-
diary between his policyholders and the
management; at every point 1t is to his own
interest to do the best he can for his policy
holders. 1t Is the agent who in fact per-
soniffes the distant management to his pol
icyholders; 1t is he in whom they put their
trust.

REMAINS AT PRESENT WIDTH.
Commissioners Heed Protests Of Resi-
dents Regarding Newton Street.

dents Regarding Newton Street.
The proposition of the Commissioners to
reduce the width of Newton street from
14th street west from thirty feet to twenty
four feet was the subject Of a public hear
ing at the District building this morning. A
number Of residents and property owners of
that street were present and protested Wig
orously against the proposed change
The protestants declared that the street
is too narrow at present, and If any change
is to be made by the District officials 1t
should be to widen 1t. They stated that thu
street is so narrow at present that 1t is diff
flcult for automobiles to turn around and
that there is danger Of blockade Of traf-
f1c. An attempt was made by the Commits
sioners several years ago to widen this
street, but the residents and property own
ers protested as vigorously then as they do
now, as they feared the extension was to be
made for a car line to proceed through the
street.
At the conclusion of the hearing today the
Commissioners announced that they are
willing to permit Newton street to remain
at its present width, providing the residents
and property owners will establish uni
form building line in accordance with the
plans set by the engineer department OF the
District.

The New Brunswick bowlers, ac-

Wrestling

Harvey Parker, the little demon"
wrestler, has challenged the winner
Of the finish" wrestling match be-
tween George Bothner, the light
yeight champion catch-as-catch-can
wrestler, and Abraham Kazzi, the
young Turk, which takes place next
Tuesday night at the Grand Central
Palace. Bothner is willing to meet
Parker if he defeats Kazzi, but the
latter must also weigh in at 1873
pounds at the ring side and post a
substantial forfeit.
The championship wrestling con
test between George Bothner, the
lightweight wrestling champion, and
Abrahim KaZzi, the Turkish cham
pion, has aroused as much interest in
sporting circles, and particularly
among the Turkish and Syrian ele-
ment, as the Terry McGovern and
Battling Nelson fight. Bothner's in
tention to change his tactics and force
the argument with the sultan's idol
is solely responsible for the keen in
.erest which is taken in the event.
Fhe training methods pursued by the
champion recently have been entirely
different from what he ever INDUCED
n before, and he hopes to surprise
even his most ardent admirers by his
strength.
Although the contest will not take
lace until next Tuesday night at the
irand Central palace, both Kazzi and
3othner are practically down to the
'equired weight, and neither com
plains of being weak.
Tommy Wynne placed $3.50 against
5000 on Bothner yesterday, at the
Cairo cafe for Ascouchi to cover, and
if the latter wishes to risk any more,
ne can be accommodate by Charley
Alrich, who put up Bothner's side bet
of $500.
Johnny Dunn is authority for the
statement that Bothner will surely de-
feat Harvey Parker if they wrestle to
a finish at 1873 pounds, and he ought
to know, as he was the first man who
managed the Little Demon" here
abouts, and made the first match be-
tween them, which took place at the
LenoX Lyceum, before a packed
house.
