Fountain Pens Not New.

IL is a popular fallacy that fountain
pens are quite a modern invention.
AS a matter of fact, an old work OF
reference published in 1895 contains
an illustration of a fountain pen, the
appearance of which is very much
like those sold at the present time.
Its construction, however, was some
what elaborate and clumsy, the pen
consisting of various pieces of metal,
which had to be screwed and un-
screwed before the pen could be used

, was not long after daybreak that
HSV. Leroy and Raymond Berdan,
two farmers, started for Paterson from
their homes on the Singac road, five
miles away, to deliver milk. They
logged along merrily together for sew
eral hundred yards, when their atten-
ton was attracted by means issuing
from beneath a large tree near Laurel
Grove Cemetery
Berdan left his milk wagon to in
vestigate. Hidden in the tall grass he
found a man, coatless, hatless and ap-
parently in great pain To his ques-
tionings, the sufferer replied in half
ineligible mutterings, and pointed to
his leg
II am August Eberhard," were the
first words he mutttered on his return
to consciousness. Il am shot. MY
aunt is dead. She was killed at Hack
ensack l didn't shoot her. I am sh9r
myself.
Here he began a TRADE against fhree
masked men, and, apparently half
delirious begged the farmers not to let
them molest him.
Quieted again by another drink from
the bottle, he told a more connected
story. He said that he was walking
along a railroad near Hackensack dur
ing a terrific storm, when someone
leaped from out of the darkness and
fired pistol His aunt fell dead to the
tracks, he said, and he knelt over her.
"Three masked men carried me
away" he moaned. "They left her
lying there. They took me for miles
and miles, and stopped at a house in
the country. They put me in the cellar
where it was dark. l didn't know night
from day, but think l was kept there
for three days. They watched over me-
They starved me. Last night | had
chance to get away. I opened the door
and ran down long road in the dark
ness.

fell, but got up again. l ran through

still ran, and there was another man
waiting for me ut the end OF that road.
He looked like an Italian. Maybe he
was; maybe he wasn't; don't know.

Sensation as Officials Accuse
Cornell Man of POcketing Brit
ish Rival in 40O=Metre Race.
ALLEGED BORING NOT
VISIBLE TO SPECTATORS
Kerr Wins Final of lOO=Metre
Sprint and Ray Ewry Captures
Standing High Jump.

LONDON, July 23.-In the final of the
4OO-metre fiat race in the Olympic
games J. C. Carpenter, Cornell Univer-
sity, came in first.
A sensation was created when the
officials declared that ii was no race.
This decision was reached on the ground
that Carepnter had "bored" Halswele,
the English runner. Boring Is the Eng
lish term for "pocketing."
w. c. Robbins, Cambridge University
was second; Halswelle, third, and j. B.
Taylor, Irish-American A. c., fourth.
Matthew II. HaIpin, manager of the
American team, says the Americans
will not run the race over.
As soon as the decision of the Of
fcials was made known, the grand
stands We're in an upPoar. the English
men cheering the announcement and
the American hooting. The boring
is alleged to have .occurerd at the
corner coming into the stretch. TO the
spectators it seemed impossible. They
could not see how Carpenter, who had
the post, could avoid coming ont
little, as the men already had started
to sprint.
Ray Ewry won the standing high
jump for America.
Americans Fight Hard.
With two Americans fighting every
inch, Robert Kerr. of Canada. showed
the way in the final offthe 200-metre
fiat race in the Olympic games today.
Cloughan, Irish-American A. A. was
second, and NJ. j. Cartmill. University
of Pennsylvania, was third. The time
was % 2-5 seconds. Hawkins. of Eng
land, was the fourth man in the final.
After his victory in the 100-metres,
Kerrs win was not unexpected, but
the Americans struggled gamely and
forced him hard up to the finish.
Things moved very slowly at the
session of the 81 mes, and only
the semi-hnals of the standing high
jump had been completed when the
lunch hour arrived.
The first section of this event was
carried off by Tsiclitiras. a lanky
Greek. who figuredin the previous
jumping events. He cleared feet /
