"RAHR0AD jack IS
VISITING IN CITY
Philosopher of the Simple Life is
Passing Through Win
chester.

Harry Cooper, the only and orig
inal Railroad Jack" arrived in the
city from Detroit, Mich, Thursday
morning. He is on his way South
and his first important stop after he
leaves here is Atlanta, GA. His
home is at Detroit but he spends his
winters in the South and always
makes Winchester call when pass
ing through.
He is an itinerant lecturer and
eccentric pedestrian. He can give
off hand synopsis of the lives of
1900 prominent men and women in
the worlds history and can tell the
keys in which nearly four hundred
of the popular hymns are written as
well as giving the tenor, alto, So
prano and bass notes beginning those
hymns.
He travels in first class style, but
sleeps in the open air, is a strict
vegetarian and onlv eats twice day.
He has only slept in a bed twenty
times in ten years and never remem-
bers of being sick.
He lectures in schools and on the
streets. He has odd notions about
his manner of makeup. When lee
turing he prefers to wear the raiment
of a working man, but often after a
lecture he will dress un in full eve
ming costume. He also appears on
the street in bicycle uniform and
others.
In all probability he will give a
lecture at the City School Thursday
afternoon and probably on the street
night, though he says the
nights are getting too cool now for
him to work on the streets. He new
er lectures on the streets of a city
without the permission of the pro-
per officials and he has in a book
which he carries, the permits Of
every official where he has been.
Under all circumstances this phil
osopher of the simple life poses as
the very embodiment of an optimis-
tic temperament.

of the tragic death of Harvey w.

profound impression in Louisvilis,
and there was Immediately formed a

possible. Telephone communication

and the friends deputed to Ms. Ben

general to Mexico, the difficult task.
Mrs. Ridgely, suddenly ber~aved
few weeks ago of the husband who
had been Mr.. Watterson's rrotege
and intimate friend, accor p:ished
her mission, and the editor is at

HENRY WATTERSONS SON
MEETS TERRIBLE DEATH
Accidentally Falls From Nineteenth
Story of a New York
Skyscraper.

New York. Nov. u. = Harvey w.
Watterson, lawyer. and youngest
son of Henry Watterson, editor OF
the Louisville CourierJournal. plung-
ed to his death from the nineteenth
floor Of his Office building at 81 Wall
street. His body shot downward for
ITO feet and landed on the roof of a
ten-story building adjoining. Almost
every bone was broken and the head
crushed, and death was practically
instantaneous.
While there were no eye-witnesses
to the tragedy, evidently it was en-
tirely accidental. Mr. Watterson's
nat and overcoat were on his closed
desk. Presumably he had attempted
to lower the window and, either
stumbling over the radiator, which
was IN front Of the low sill, or losing
his footing in some manner unknown,
pitched head forward and down to
death on the roof below. Mr.. Wat
terson was 30 years old and married
He was junior member of the law
firm Of Wing, Russell & Watterson.
After having discussed a case with
a clerk in the office, Mr.. Watterson
remarked that he was going home,
and passed from the library through
the office of F. r. Bagg, the managing
clerk, into his private office, the door
of which closed and locked automat-
ically as he entered. Bagg was tho
last person to see the young lawyer
alive. A few minutes later the SUI
perintendent Of the building rushed
In and informed Thomas E. Wing.
senior member OF the firm, that he
believed Mr.. Watterson had fallen
from the window, and looked downs
from the window. The mangled form
was seen lying on the roof below.
The body was removed to the Wat,
terson home after the coroner had
declared that the death of Mr.. Wat
terson was due entirely to accident.
A peculiar feature CT the case was
that Mr.. WaIterson's watch and
cigaret case in one rocket and a pipe
IN another pocket were not damaged
by the fall Mrs. Watterson was
Frustrated when informed Of her hus-
bands traric death.
Mr. Wing said that Watterson had
been a member of the firm about
three years. two years after he was
graduated from Columbia university
law school He was sure, he said,
that death was accidental, since Wat
terson had no financial or domestic
troubles. The firms bus ness was in
good cond ton, Mr.. Wing said, and
Watterson had been very successful.
Mr.. Watterson was born and reared
in Louisville, Ky. When about 81
years Old lie came to New York and
entered the Columbia university law
school. During the time he was a
student there he taught in a night
school.
