TO DEATH. ~ =

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. NOV. ia
Registered ct the st. James Hotel.
here, are a young couple whose remon,
tic elopement last Thursday has Just
come to light. They are Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard NJ. Pitt. Mr.. Pitt is a mem.
Der OF well known Baltimore family,
but has lived In this city for year
or two. Mrs, Pitt, whose maiden name
was Maye Lucille Mayse, was one OF
the bellies of Washington and Alex.
andria.
Their match being opposed. they
only succeeded in getting married after
an exciting chase between saddle
horse. ridden to death by the brides
brother, and an automobile In which
the lovers had Just been welded In
the open air.
Mr.. Pitt Is known as an al.round
athlete. When a student in Randolph.
Macon College he was captain OF the
football and baseball teams and lead.
er in track athletics. He has llye,l
here ut the Southern Club, OF which
he Is treasurer. He Is president Of
the Philadelphia Alumnia Association
of Randolph.Macon College.
While at lunch In Washington Lass
Thursday Pitt and Miss Mayse de.
cided to wed that afternoon. They
went to the home Of Mrs. Jesse Ty.
son. n friend Of Miss Mayse, where
an automobile called for them anil
whirled them away to Rockville. Nd.
In Rockville they found minister
who consented to marry them in their
car at the side of the road In front
of the church. The chaueqeur was
the only witness.
Plans for secret marriage were al.
most spoiled by Oscar Mayse, broth.
er of the bride. who learned OF the
elopement soon after his sister left
Washington with Pitt. Mounting n
fast saddle-horse, he spurred over into
Maryland in pursuit of the clippers In
an effort to be present at the cere.
mony. 9"
Just as he entered Rockville his
horse was overcome by the hard ride
and dropped dead. The young man
then took up the chase on foot, anil
turned corner Just in time to hear
the automobile horn toot as his sister
and brother.in-law started up the road
after the ceremony had been com.
pleted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitt returned to
Washington, where they carried the
news to the Mayse family and sent
kilograms to friends in this city. On
Friday they went to Baltimore to visit
Mr.. Pitts relatives; and came here
yesterday.
When the happy couple left the
train Mr.. Pitt engaged cab and left
for moment to look after his bag.
gage. For some unknown reason the
sabbie started on with Mrs. Pitt, fl.
nally landing her at one Of the uptown
hotels.
When Mr.. Pitt returned his wife
and cab had disappeared, and he start.
ed off to look for them, but not until
he had wandered around for nearly
three hours did he find his wife, in
tears, at the Aldine Hotel.
Explanations followed. and Mr.. and
Mrs Pitt were soon ensconced in the
st. james Hotel, where they will re.
main for few days.
1t has Just leaked out that Mr..
Pitt has purchased balloon from
Arnold seyborn. Of Baltimore. and will
make arrangements to spend por.
ton of his honeymoon In the bal.
loon.

IN THE DEATH CHAIR.

How II Feels When the Killing Cur.
rent Is Turned On.
He waited a second or an age. Then
suddenly it seemed as if he must leap
from the chair, his body was swelling
to some monstrous, impossible, inhu-
man shape; his muscles were stretch
ed, millions of hot and dreadful nee
dies were piercing and pricking him, a
stupendous roaring was in his ears,
then a million colors-colors he had
never seen or imagined before, colors
no one had ever seen or imagined. col
Ors beyond the range of the spectrum,
new, undiscovered, summoned by some
mysterious agency from distant cor
ners of the universe-played before his
eyes. Suddenly they were shattered
by a terrific explosion in his brain
then darkness.
But, no; there was still sensation. A
dull purple color slowly spread before
him, gradually grew lighter, expanded,
and with a mighty pain he struggled,
cropping his way in torture and tor
ment over fearful obstacles from some
far distance remote as black stars In
the cold abyss of the universe. He
struggled back to life, then an appall-
ing confusion, a grasp of conscious
ness; be heard the ticking of the two
watches. Then through his brain there
slowly trickled a thread Of thought
that squirmed and glowed like a white
hot wire.
A faint groan escaped the pale lips
below the black leather mask; tremor
ran through the form in the chair; there
It relaxed and was still
It's all over. The doctor, lifting his
fingers from Archie's wrist, tried to
smile and wiped the perspiration from
his face with handkerchief.-Fr

Lessen Your Food Continually as You
Grow Older.
What man or woman, growing old,
would not give a fortune for the re-
newal of youth? With little care
they might have kept it for ten or a
dozen years longer, but its value was
not realized until too late, says DR.. Co
hen, the noted London specialist.
Up to the age of twenty three or
twenty-five in the case of men and
eighteen or twenty in women, the
framework of the body is being form
ed, and the diet should be generous.
After the thirtieth year has been pass
ed 1t Is no longer necessary to eat to
make more tissues, but only to pre-
serve equilibrium of weight and
strength. Yet at that time eating is a
pleasure highly appreciated. Therefore
most men and women eat too much,
and this is the time of life when in
discretions in diet produce disease with
especial frequency.
Do not eat heavy suppers.
Drink little or no alcohol
Avoid rich meats and pastry.
Do not grow fat by eating too much.
Fat people seldom reach good old
age. The youthful old man is lean.
Lessen your food continually as you
grow older
Overeating produces all the diseases
that make one old
Undertaking shortens life.
Just enough and trifie over is the
ideal

THE most noted man In Burlington
county the past month was Gordon Phil
lips, colored citizen who was sent to the
county prison for non payment of his poll
tax. Newspaper publication of the facts
has brought forth comment from all parts
of the country, together with a fair
amount of cash. Phillips, who is a poor
man, had better home in jail than he
would have enjoyed if he had been al
lowed to remain in Burlington, and has
more cash now than he has seen for many
a day. So. instead of being punished for
his noncompliance with the Law, he has prac
tically been rewarded for his shortcomings.
On this line 1t is argued that too much
has been said In condemnation of the Bur.
lington authorities for sending this man
to jail, and they should be commended
for doing their duty In this case. With
this we do not agree. Why was this poor.
friendless, crippled colored man singled
for an examplef Was he the only man in
Burlington on the tax lists as DELINQUENT
Every year each township In the county
has long string of men who have failed
to pay their poll taxes, but how often is
the law enforced on them7 Sometimes a
great bluff is made and some poor friend
less chap is sent to jail, but the other fell
lows grin and spend more for whiskey
and cigars than would pay their poll tax
several times and that ends the lesson.
The system of requiring the presentation
of tax receipt as qualification to vote
is good one, and might be adopted in
this state benefcially, but the arrest and
Incarceration :of some worthless fellow
not only will not accomplish any good
result but makes laughing stock of
weakened officials.
