Bannaek He brought a lot of garden
seed along with him. believing that gar

pay handsomely for them and that he
would make more money with his spade
and garden rake than with the rocker
and pan. He succeeded very we'll near

A Centenarian Doctor

A month ago Sir Henry Pitman en-
tered upon his hundredth year. He is
still consulting physician to St. George S
hospital. He was born on July 4, lS0S,
and in 1S41 took his degree as doctor ut
Cambridge. Five years later he became
physician to st. Georges hospital,
the school of John Hunter. Here he
came in touch during his time with such
men as Sir Benjamin Brodie, Thomas
Young (the deeipherer of hieroglyphicsl
Sir Prescott Hewett, Timothy Holmes,
DR.. Howship Dickinson and DIR. Barnes.
After twenty years-namely, i'll 1S66
Sir Henry Pitman became consulting
physician to the hospital.
For many 4 day his position has, of
course, been purely an honorary one, and
to the present generation at st. George 5
he is known only by name and tradition.
For thirty years (1S5S TO 1850 I've
spent a public career of great usefnfhess
and distinction as registrar Of tile Royal
College of Physicians, the most ancient
medical corporation in the kingdom. A
man of singular rectitude, singular ac-
curacy, clearness of thought and direct
ness of advice, Sir Henry has attained
his wonderful age by living a methodi-
cal and laborious and unselfish life. With
a great capacity for business he had the
quality of being ever sympathetic to-
ward good causes. He was knighted in
1888 for his services to the profession
and the cause of science.-From tia

GAVE WHISKY FOR FARE.

Injuries Received on the Ride.

A novel question will be raised in a
suit against the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company which
Is to be brought at Utica. The qaestion
Is whether or not a half pint of whisky
Is legal pay for a ride from Syracuse to
Watertown. The identity of the person
who is TO institute the action against the
railroad has not been revealed, but it is
said that he is a resident of Watertown.
The facts in the case recite that sew
eral months ago this person was in SYRIA
case and was about to purchase a ticket
to 60 to WATERFOWL, when a friend told
him he could get him a ride on q freight.
II is said that the conductor on the
freight was asked if the person might
ride and answered in substance that he
could if he had a half pint. The would
and the conductor helped himself. The
passenger rode to Watertown, but on
the way the train met with an accident
and he was so badly injured that he was
In the hospital for nearly two months.
1t is conceded that if the person rode
free the railroad would not be responsible
for any injuries he sustained, but it is
urged by the attorney who is to bring the
SUIT that when he gave the conductor
the whisky the liqlor was accepted as
the fare 10 Watertown and consequently
the rs iF0a7 company was bound by the
conduct let and owed him the same
care and duty that it would have owed
him had he been riding in palace car

BIG YEAR FOR FARMERS.

a thousand million dollars greater this

nat apparently weaken the strength of
the concrete pole, since the reinforce

nv the carbon steel twisted rods, the
spiral coil binds the body of the con-
crete and at the same time imparts adj
ditional strength both horizontally and

Accurate accounts of all expenditures
for labor and material in the construc-

that under average conditions the first
cost of these reinforced concrete poles
is about equal to or slightly in excess of
the cost of cedar poles set in the ground.
With reinforced concrete poles. the re-
pewal cost incident to the use of wooden
poles is entirely removed, as the former
are absolutely indestructible.
