by Coroner Scholer two years ago,
Boshardt had to make the affidavit TO
establish himself as alive, and also to
keep the Prudential Life Insurance
company from paying to his wife $looo
which she had tried to collect on the
ground that he was defunct
Maybe 1 wouldn't kick about let
ting her have the money" said Bos-
hardt, "but she showed what she
Thought of me by letting the corpse
she swore was mine remain in the pot
ter's field, where it was buried. If she
had planted the poor devil in a decent
graveyard 1 might have allowed her to
collect the money"
Boshardt married in 1900. and dis
appeared in April, 1902. On May IA,
1904, a body was picked up in the
North river off Fifty-seventh street,
kept in the morgue the regulation time
and buried as unidentified. The clothes
and a knife were preserved. Mrs. Bos-
hardt, in June, 1904, identified the
clothes and the knife as having be-
longed to her husband. Coroner Scholer
held an inquest and on an affidavit by
Mrs. Boshardt that Boshardt was dead
he was finally wiped off the map.
Then Mrs. Boshardt, who had moved
to Springfield, Mass, demanded the
81 900 life insurance. The company re-
fused to settle and she brought suit.
The company hired detectives and they
located Boshardt in Philadelphia. He
refused to admit his identity until told
that his wife had allowed his supposed
body to rest in the potter's field. This
made him sore and he promised to re-
turn to New York and make an aff1-
davit that he was alive.

Honor Memory of Juarez.

MEXICO CITY, July 1S.-Today is
observed as holiday throughout
Mexico. being the anniversary of the
death of Benito Juarez. the liberal

fair which ended with the execution OF

DISTINGUISHED soldier and patriot. The
procession included workingmen's So

TO MAKE ALCOHOL,
Prohbitory Law is Not Expected to
Interfere.

FARGO, N. D., July 1S.-North Da-
kotans can manufacture denaturized al
cohol despite the prohibition law. That
is the opinion of the leading attorneys
of the state. No distillieries or brew
cries for the manufacture of drink can
be operated in the state, but the law
does not prohibit the manufacture of
alcohol for commercial purposes.
Plants will be established in many sec
tons of the state. If the prohibitory
law should ever be held to conflict
with the denaturized alcohol distiller-
les, it would probably result in a re-
submission vote, which would knock
out many of the features of the law
dearest to the prohibitionists, and it is
thought the warmest supporters of the
law will not inerfere with the manu-
facture of denaturized alcohol.

for repartee. But alas for the wonder
full speeches that come too hate for ap-
probation and applause! 1t was my
cue for song. The director waved
his baton, the musical prelude began,
and l stepped toward the footlights,
when suddenly from the wings a black
cat came forth and, walking between
the leader and me, sat down and. look
ing up into my face, gave a terrific
howl
You go right back. This isn't Your
cue," l said quickly, and the cat got
up and walked off as if she had been
rehearsed. l had no sooner made this
most ordinary speech than the thought
occurred to me. why didn't you dis
tinguish yourself by saying This is
not Tuesday" in allusion to the we'll
known rule at Henry w. Savage's Of
flee, "All voices tried on Tuesday,"
and l told the company about it after
the curtain came down. We all had a
laugh about 1t, and l said, "Well. Just
let that cat try it again, and I'll show
her"
The next night, at the same hour and
at the psychological moment, the cat
came back and did the identical stunt
that she had done the night before By
this time all Of the people on the stage
were watching me expectantly, and
could hear whispered everywhere: Go
1t. old man! My. but you're luckyv'
And to save my life l couldn't say a
word to that cat. l laughed until my
sides ached, but 1 could not articulate
a single word, and the cat walked off,
and never came back.-Raymond Hitch

May Get a Chance at Nelson,

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Tommy Muir
ply, the Harlem fighter, has a strong
incentive to beat Spike Robson when
they meet in the ring at Philadelphia
week from Monday next. If Murphy
is successful over the Englishman, then
Murphy is to have a chance to meet
Battling Nelson in the same ring later
on.
1t will be remembered that when
these two met a couple of weeks ago
that Robson had all the better of the
encounter and while Murphy admitted
that he was bested, still he claimed he
was not at his best, and that if he
could control his malarial tendencies
for a few weeks he would be able to
handle the Englishman in the way that
he was expected to do when they came
together
Murphy is training at Atlantic High
lands and he reports that he feels very
much improved When Nolan was ap-
preached by Jack McGuigan with a
view of Murphy and Nelson meeting he
said he was willing if the financial in
ducements were sufficient and the
Quaker manager said he would see to
that part of the matter.
