tinue the practice Of furnishing q
man to assist the shipper In unload
ing cars on team tracks.

men employed by Chicago roads In
this service, which IL q service en-
tirsIy for the benefit Of . shipper and
one which he should perform for
himself. Notice will soon be ex.
tended TO cover every large shipping
center In the United States, for al
toFnays have told the railroads that
to prefoFm such service IN one city
and TO refuse to perform In another
would be discrimination within the

EAGLE WEIGHS A TON.
BIG WOODEN FIeuREHEAD OF
THE WARsHIP NIAGARA.
Relic of the Old United States Navy
Will Be Sent to jamestown Expo.
sition from the Charles.
town Navy Yard.

Boston.-An immense eagle, ten feet
| high and IL feet long and weighing
about ton, is inclosed in great
wooden cage at the Charlestown navy
yard, and within day or two will
start for the jamestown exposition on
a special car, in compliance with or
ders from the navy department at
| Washington.
For many years this bird, which is
| carved in wood, has made it's home at
the local yard, for a good part of the
time resting on large wooden pedes-
tai in the middle of the gun park,
where it has been the wonder of thou
sands of visitors from all parts of the
world.
Carved with wonderful skill and
made in the strongest and most care.
full manner, the eagle originally was de-
signed for use as stem ornament on
the United States ship Niagara, and
for several years, or during the life
of that ship, on the active service list
of the navy the big bird proudly float
ed at the Niagara S PROV, his head pro-
truding over the water and the wings,
partly extended, resting against the
sides of the stem.
In order that the wings might fit
properly, a section of the birds back
was removed, and when the Niagara
was put out of commission and
stripped of its fittings at this yard
soon after the civil war the eagle was
removed and placed in one of the
buildings. Finally it was brought out
again, the back filled in, and it was
painted and set up on the pedestal
which had been built especially for it..
In order to make the bird still more
lifelike a pair of the largest artificial
eyes manufactured was purchased and
set in place. Probably no wooden
ship of the American navy ever had a
more striking or artistic stem orna-
ment than this great eagle:
While the local navy yards officials
are glad to be able to send so striking
an exhibit to the exposition, they are
fearful lest it never be returned. They
feel that it properly belongs to the
Charlestown navy yard, and ought to
be kept here permanently. The Nj
agara was built here, in one of the old
wooden ship houses, which was re-
Gently torn down to make room for a
modern building, and the figurehead
has long been one of the sights of the
reservation.
Besides the eagle the navy yard is
to send to jamestown the historic
steel scroll which graced the stern Of
the flagship Olympia of Admiral Dew
ey's squadron at the battle of Ma
Mia Bay. This piece has for some
time been on exhibition in the muse
UNI in the corridor of the main office
building of the department of con-
struction and repair.

RIFLE RECORD HELD A FAKE.
War Department Charges Two Com
panies with classification.

New York.-After long correspond
ence with the department of the east
and three months of careful investiga.
ton the war department has discov-
cred what is believed to be an illicit
deal between companies L and M of
the Fifth infantry in their target prac-
tice and has ordered Gen. Grant to
wipe out the remarkable record made
by these companies last summer at
Plattsburg barracks.
Moreover, the department of the
east was ordered today to deduct from
the future pay OF the men of COM
panies l. and M all additional sums
paid them since last summer because
of their craftsmanship. Col. Henry
0. S. Heistand, military secretary of
the department of the east, said to-
day that this punishment had been
melted out to the men because ample
proof of Irregularities in scoring on
the target range had been established.
The alleged deal between the two
companies to falsify the scoring and
give each other records much higher
than they were entitled to was in.

KILL FOWLS IN CHURCH.
Peculiar Case Of Dissertation Battles
Police Force.

Narberth, Pa.-Entering the Fair
view Union church to hold Sunday
school, Superintendent Charles Fryer
was Mortified to discover that vandals
had broken into the edifice and used
1t for slaughter-house for about three
dozen chickens, the blood and feathers
of which were strewn in wild disorder
over the church. There was other evil
dence of vandalism. The oil lamps
with which the building is lighted had
been pried from the wall and were
left on the floor, while hymnbooks
and papers were scattered about in
confusion.
An investigation developed that the
schoolhouse next door had also been
broken into, clock had been stolen
from the wall, and the robbers had
nearly burned the building, having
thrown a lighted match into a teach
er's desk, where a number of papers
and books were burned
The Lower Merton police discovered
that the cellar door of the church haG
been broken from its hinges while sew
eral attempts had been made to jimmy
the shutters. A cold chisel, with
which the shutters had been opened
was found. Though they spent the en-
tire day in efforts to discover the
farmer from whom the fowls had been
stolen, the police were unsuccessful
for none of the residents of the Fair
view district had been robbed.

OREGON to Be Renodeled.

Washington-The famous battleship
Oregon is to be modernized and Secre-
tary Metcalf has announced that he
had authorized the expenditure of
$1,000,000 out of the naval repair fund
for that purpose.
OF the best type of warship when
she was launched, the Oregon is al
most already obsolete and to make
her equal to modern men-of-war she
must be extensively overhauled.
The changes to be made will be
similar to those ordered for her sister
ship Indiana, the most important be-
ing the substitution of balanced clip.
teal turrets for the present round
turrets, which cause the ship to heel
heavily when all four of the big 70.
inch guns are pointed over the same
side of the ship. The alterations will
be made at the Puget sound naval sta
ton, where the Oregon has been lying
since her return from the Chinese sta
ton, and will consume one year.

FINDS MYSTERIOUS BOX.
Unearthed in Old House and Made OFF
With by Workman.

Millville, N. IA strong box be-
lleved to contain a large sum of money
was unearthed by Dominick Lascolzo,
member of a gang of workmen en-
gagged in razing an old stone building
on Columbia avenue here. Lascolzo
has disappeared with the box, and the
authorities are anxiously seeking him.
The building was built in 176S by
the owners of the old iron foundry and
cotton mill, and for almost a century
and a quarter was used as the COM
pany's store. LaScolzo was using a
crowbar against the side of an old
vault and threw aside a number of rec
ords dated 1910. Striking deeper, his
bar struck heavy box of hardwood.
Withdrawing it from it's hiding place,
he seized it, and was last seen hurry

street.

ufaeturing company, which owns the
old property, at once sent men in pur-
suit of Lascolzo, but he succeeded in
eluding them. His wife said he was
not at home, and, standing in the door
OF their home, defied anyone to enter.
The hunt for the man was continued
through the night without success,
and an officer with search warrant
discovered that Lascolzo and his wife
had fled. 1t was learned that Lascol-
20 and his wife went to Vineland on a
trolley, the man carrying heavy sack
and his wife having heavy bundle.
The managers of the mills are GER
tain that the box contained a large
sum of money, and they will make a
thorough search for Lascolzo

featured which will be as sweet and

Mrs. Cox was born in Columbia, not
far from where she new resides.
Her first husband was soldier in
the war of 1872, and her second hus-
band served two enlistments in the
civil war. Many of her relatives serv.
ed in the war with Spain, and in all
cases they won some distinction.
Mrs. Cox walks about the house
without assistance, and although small
In stature and her features much
wrinkled, she does not look the num-
Der of her years. Her eyes are bright
and she is able to read few minutes
each day without the aid of glasses.
Her hearing is remarkably acute, her
ears catching perfectly conversation in
the lowest of tones.
Her appetite is excellent and she
sleeps we'll, despite the fact that she
has never used patent medicines which
aspiring advertisers have endeavored
to thrust upon her during the last few
years.
She says that she knows tobacco is
bad for young people and she doesn't

has almost constantly in her mouth.
In her Joking mood she declares that
If there are any good looking young

her life, rearing family of six chill
