The second fatal accident on the

the window as her little brother was
struck by the car and at once cried
out: "Oh, Mamma, Eddies killed.

From the appearance Of the bruised

seems that the boy was struck firsE

the wheels ran over the body slight

Finds Agent Not Asleep.

A certain woman who wished to have some fun at the expense Of an agent who had oftentimes solicited her DO in- sure herself and family asked him on one occasion If he would insure the cat. The agent, to the astonishment and no small amusement of some friends, promptly offered to do SO, provided she paid the first premium down The wom- an, still thinking to hoax him, ex- pressed her willingness to do 90, and placed a shilling on the table. The agent quickly produced proposal, filled It in and obtained her signature while those present were on the tiptoe of ex- pectancy as to what was to follow.
 Now, madam, with your permission, may I see the cat!'
 Certainly" she replied at the same time pointing to glass case which con- tained the stuffed remains of the poor defunct cat.
 A chorus of derisive laughter burst from all present, but to their dismay the agent turned, bowed politely, at the same time picking up the shilling, and exclaimed:

A SHIPPERS WoOING.

The captain of clipper-ship In the old days of the China tea trade had lit tie leisure time to spend on shore. His ship was in and out again as fast as 1t could be unloaded, and if he had not a wife when he went out to sea, his woo ing of one was apt to be hurried af- fair. That was the experience of the captain of the Houqua as he gives 1t in his "Recollections."
 "Charley," said one of his brothers, when he came to port one trip, why don't you get married? There Is fine girl for you up h South Danvers-Miss D.-the handsomest girl in town"
 Charley had been thinking of some thing of that sort himself, so he start ed for South Danyers post-haste.
 "I was invited to party the evening after my arrival" he says, "to meet Miss D. I did not take to her at all, although she was handsome. l was h. vited to several parties, and at one of them some young ladies were asked to sing. One made this excuse, one that, until at last the request was passed to A very prim- black eyed girl, who made no excuse at all, but without word of affectation went to the piano and played and sang as long as they wanted her to. As soon as heard her voice went and leaned over the piano, and l was a goner. I said to myself, That Is the girl for me-

HUDSON AND FULTON.
Great Nautical Pageant Planned to
 Celebrate Noted Voyages.

The tendency of the age toward com bination is illustrated in the decision to combine the observance of the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage up the Hndsnn with tho centennial of steam navigation, says the Boston Tran script. Hudson entered New York bay on Sept. II, 1909, as commander of the Dutch ship Half Moon. Fulton Clermont started on its initial trip Aug. II. 1897. As it is proposed to have the celebration in the last week in Sep tember, 1909, 1t will not fall upon the anniversary of either event.
 It is worth noticing that Hudson was not the earliest navigator who ever en- tered the waters around Manhattan neither was Fulton's the first steam boat Verrazano, an Italian In the serv- ice of France, anchored In New York bay more than eighty years before the Half Moons keel plowed its waves It is probable that other explorers in the interval between NerraZano and Hud- son were off the mouth of the great river. But Hudson was the first navi- gator to ascend the river and to make the land through which 1t flowed known to the world. Fulton's Clermont had several predecessors, but was the first steamboat to be commercial success. Her trip from New York to Albany, 160 miles, under her own steam, in thirty two hours, still remains one of the great events in the worlds history Fulton was demonstrator rather than an in- ventor. The plan for the Hudson Full ton observance includes a great nautical pageant on the Hudson. Fac simile models of the Half Moon and the Cler. mont are to go up the river as far as Albany, as the originals did in their time. It Is a happy thought of the committee in charge of the celebration to invite Holland to contribute the model of the Half Moon. The Henry Hudson bridge and the Fulton viaduct will be permanent memories of those celebrities. We are glad to note that Hudson's name is given as Henry Hen dirk Is the Dutch form, which Hudson never used. His contract with the Dutch East India Company was In ex. lstence few years ago, and through. out the document his name was written Henry.

The vice pres ident, one of his partisans, performed some of the functions of the presi- dency. In the middle of June Castro let 1t be known that he would resume his office on July 9th.
