BACHELOR
A CENTURY
Single Cussedness and Booze
Have Not Kept Powers
From Living Long.


Danville, Pa, October 2S.-Is 1t true
that married men live longer than
bachelors? Is tobacco a foe to Ion
gevity, and indulgence in whiskey
certain to send the imbiber to an un-
timely grave? Perhaps-but you could
not convince Micheal Powers of the
truth of any of these propositions.
Micheal recently celebrated the CEN
tennial of his birth, and is still as
hale and hearty as many youths of
sixty or seventy. He has never mar
ried, has chewed tobacco ever since he
was a boy, and has always drank spar
ingly of whiskey While Mr.. Powers
does not recommend bachelorhood
booze and 'baccy as certain to add to
the years of the devotee he believes
that none are incompatible with a
long and joyous existence, as illus
trated in his own case.

THE PLAYERS.

We are the players OF a play
AS old as EARTH
Between the wings 'of night and day,
With tears Of mlrth.
There is no record OF the land
From whence IL came,
No legend of the playwrights hand
No bruited fame.
OF those who for the piece were cast
n the first night,
When God drew uD His curtain vast
And there was light.
Before our eyes as We come on
From age to age,
Flare up the fOoflight Of the dawn
On this round stage
In front, unknown. beyond the glare
Vague shadows loom;
And sounds like muttering winds are
there
Foreboding doom.
Yet WisIfully we keep the boards;
And as we mend
The laundering forgotten words,
Hope 20 the END.
To hear the storm-bcat OF applause
Fill our desire
When the dark PTompter gives us pause
And we retire.

Of NEGRO
MAY SOLVE PUZZLE
Atlantic City Man Now Says
Roberts Was Shot While
in Chair.

ATLANTIC CITY, \. J., Sept 5.-The
statement OF the negro, Jesse Jackson,
who was pushing the chair in which
rode Mrs Williams and Charles b. Rob
erts, when the latter was shot. has
put an entirely new complexion on the
shooting.
Jackson now maintains that Roberts
was shot while in the chair,
Jackson was placed under arrest to-
day 10y the local police, and pat under a
500 bond 20 appear ais a witness when
wanted. The bond was furnished. but
the police refuse TO name the bondsman.
and It is believed that either his EN-
ployers put up the bail or that the con-
tingency has been provided for by
either Mr.. Roberts. OF Mrs. willie"
Williams, the Baltimore society woman
who was with Roberts.
The negro says the story of q high
wayman Is false; that he saw no
masked man, and no one but Mrs. VIII
iiams and Mr.. Roberts, and heard Moth
ing before ne saw the flash of the gun
and heard the report, save the loud eX,
cIamatiOn Of Mr.. Roberts:
You have broken my hearth"
Negro Runs Away.
The next instant there was a fash
and report. According to the negro,
Roberts jumped from the chair. and
there were two more shots. Jackson
heard, bat did not see them. His back
was turned, and he was running down
the boardwalk
Mrs. Williams did not scream.
Neither did Mr. Roberts, and a few
minutes afterward, while he waited in
the mist and rain, Jackson says the
couple came down the walk Mrs. Will
liams was leading Roberts, who. in addi-
ton to his wound in the side. had a
manned and powder-burned hand.
May Have GTasped Gun.
Roberts, to have his hand injured as il
was, must either have tried 10 grasp
the weapon that shot him. or had been
holding it awkwardly in his own hand.
Roberts. having passed the crisis when
peritonitis is likely to develop. is now
believed 10 be out of danger. and bar
ring complications, win recover. The
police still insist there viii be an arrest
in the case.
Roberts. according 10 the best infor-
nation, is not doing any talking Of the
shooting, beyond to reiterate he was
shot by a masked highwayman after a
demand for money.
