Among well-authenticated cases of

may be mentioned the following: In
Great Britain, Mrs. Margaret Pagan,
1O4; Samuel Goldstein, 1O6; Mrs
Mary Coleman, 1O7; Catherine, Coun-
tess of Desmond, lao. The records
proved conclusively that Sir Moses
Montefore and Admiral Wallis lived
into their second century; that NJ.
Conerbe, French farmer, Ssurvived
his 18TH birthday; that another
Frenchman, M. Soule, died at IFS; that
Pascal Vicarn, a Roumanian, lived
100 years, and that an Armenian nun
entered a convent at Jerusalem and
never crossed it's threshold to the day
of her death, ninety-eight years later.
These are well-established case, and
others might be given.

Officer Brickel Kept Busy Even.
 ings on Cherry Street.

The patience of Officer John Brickel is about exhausted by the idle crowds that block the sidewalk on the north side of Cherry street when the big shops are discharging their help evenings. There is a number of small stores and shops Tn that quarter of Cherry street and the gangs that stand in front of the doors can only be excused fer doing so by their confounding European With local laws. Last evening about 5 o'clock when the crowds were leaving the Clock shop Officer Brick el was as busy man as there was in town just then, keeping the side walk along the north side of cherry street clear of men who apparently had nothing to do. He got so mad one time that he came very near ar resting whole gang of dozen cigarette fiends. His patience is about played out and the next act in this daily drama will surely be the appearance of some one in the city court charged with blocking the side walk

ASSESSMENT BUREAU
Trolley Co.'S Attorney Brought
 Protest Last Night.

The bureau of assessment met last night and heard property owners in- terested in the proposed layout of South Main street from City corners to the town boundary Attorney Spock, representing the trolley com- pany, denied the right of the city to take their private right of way and use it for street purposes. They own a twelve foot strip of land on the west side of the street from Turner's bridge to Platts Mills, and of course they don't want to lose it, for in case 1t should become part of the street they would have to change the loca- tion of their tracks from the side Of the road to the center line of the street, something which everybody hopes to see done in the near future whether the street is widened or not
 The other property owners warf4ed the wider street, but none of them was willing to foot any of the bills. The board took an outing this after noon and looked over the whole terri tory

DEER EAT SCARECRow.
But Farmer Is Unable to Shoot Elm
 or Drive Elm Away.

East Hampton. April 24.-Peter Wilson of Haddam Neck doesn't like the idea of having his farm turned in- to deer park and has appealed 10 Game Warden M. L. Carpenter, but he is unable to get much relief under the existing law. Mir Wilson came here to see Game Warden Carpenter about the matter and said that for the past year or two herd of deer, three in particular. had made them selves very objectionable by damag- ing crops. As Mir Wilson doesn't claim to be much of q shot he thought he might he able to hire some gun ner to do the shooting for him, but as the law reads this is not permjs- sible. As the deer have become very cunning through much chasing by both maRaand dog, and the only wea- pon allowed by law is shot gun 1t is going to he rather a difficult matter to get near enough to put q stop to their trespassing.
 Last year a scareerow was made and for q day or two this worked all right. hut the soon the deer became so intimately acquainted that they fairly ate inc stuffing out of him and pronounced it very good hay at that. There seems to be only one remedy for Mr Wilson's trouble and that is for the state to pay the freight-as IT generally does

DOCTORS ON A STRIKE.
Six of Them Quit Long Island College
 Hospital Because of Food.

New York, April 24.-Six of tho eight doctors of the Long Island Col. lege hospital in Henry street. Brook lyn, and one of the largest hospital: in that city, went on strike Wednes- day afternoon. The reasons they al. legged were poor food and discour- teous treatment afforded them by DI Richard E. Shaw, the superintendent. This left two doctors to look after 250 patients. The latter declared that they would have gone out too but foi pending surgical operations.
 To make matters worse it is said that there is discord among the eighty nurses and fifty attendants left be. hind for reasons like those of the striking doctors Dr Shaw was act ing as house surgeon last night and Edward Talmage, the assistant su- perintendent, was riding the ambu- lance. This latter fact brought smiles to the faces of the strikers be. cause they say for several months tho management has neglected to replace the gong and that the surgeon clears the way for the driver by ringing a
 
 dinner bell.
 According to the story current last night complaints have been going lc the superintendent for a long timt about the food. and at yesterday luncheon the butter came in for par ticular discussion. Finally the eight doctors marched to Dr Shaw's ofiee with sample Of it. and it is said that he told them to get out in no un- certain language. Later he sent word that none could go back to work un- til they saw him. When they inquir- ed for the superintendent they wers told that he had gone out for dinenr
 Dr Shaw returned at I o'clock and the doctors demanded an apology. but when none was forthcoming it is said that the six walked ont. Their naTues are Grover C. Elder. Frank Soiier Arthur l.. Carroll. Francis l.. Guar ino. Francis J. McMinamin and George S wolss

THE POLICE COURT.
Officer Ncagle Had Experience With
 Woman Prisoner Last Night.

 Woman Prisoner Last Night. The dangers of policeman's life seem to be on the increase. Matri- mony is the latest added tu the long list. Officer Neagle was asked by woman last night to marry, no doubt because it is leap year, but more probably because she thought it the only avenue of escape from the city court to-day. A woman complained to Officers Neagle and Dodds last evening that her sister was carrying | on at home and the officers arrested her and man who gave his name as Ben Chason for disorderly con- duct. The woman was Martha Cole sky, and when Officer Neagle placed his hands on her she fell upon him and kissed him and wanted him to marry her right away.
 Why, you're married already" said the officer jokingly.
 And the woman said she was, but sixteen years ago her husband left her in the old country and it was all right now, and she was at liberty to marry again The officer said this was too sudden and wedding finery costs too much since the trust got hold of it, and anyway he had wife and family of his own in the north end and it would be rather incon- venient in view of the laws on big amy to marry under ,he circum- stances. This morning Judge Peas ley fined both man and woman $7 and costs each and issued capias for the arrest of Anthony Kalsky for not responding to the subpoena.
 Joe Zeolo and George Dudonis were committed to jail for thirty days each for yagrancy.
 William Nuhn created disturb- ance at his home on Burton street while intoxicated last evening. The evidence was. to the effect that Nuhn has not worked in four years, teav- ing the maintenance of the house on his two daughters. He was commit ted to jail for thirty days.
 Andrew Leks was fined S10 and costs for refusing to pay for his sup per in John Gillas restaurant in Brooklyn last night.
 James Tedesco was charged with non-support of his wife and child. Mrs Tedesco said she can find work. but somehow her husband cannot. He lives on the proceeds Of her labor and spends some of her earnings in pool playing and gambling and in shows. Not only that, but he beats her frequently. According to the evidence of MT Atwood of the charity department and neighbor. Tedeseo is desperate character. Last sum- mer he was arrested in rorrington for theft of money and when taken to jail he told where the money could be found. under a carpet in his house, and it was found there. He has been out of jail since Febru- ary. Sixty days was his portion.
 The case against John Corcorkry for breach of the peace was contin. ued for thirty days.
