93 YEARS YOUNG.
William Perry is Guest of Anthony Ames, Another Youpester of 94.

William Perry, young man 93 years of age, now resident in a town about 75 miles west of Chicago, is visiting with relatives and friends in Daniel son and Putnam.
 MT. Perry left Ballouville about 50 years ago and has since made his home in that section of the country. He was employed in thatVilIage as a dresser tender in the mills and it was at that place that he became &C., quainted with Anthony Ames of Spring street who was also employed at l3allouVille at that time as an account ant in the mill office.
 Few men have eyer lived in this country who reached the age of 93 and retained their faculties in such remarkable degree as Mir. Perry. He is not the kind of a man that lives well along towards the century mark and just merely exists. He gets as much enjoyment out of life as he did 75 years ago. He does not look and he does not act any different from a good, active man of 60. He has the vim, the physical strength and the mental capacity to get around as spry as. the proverbial kitten and he sees things through the eyes of an opti- mist. His yearly trip of more than a thousand miles to visit old friends and old scenes in the east does not worry him little bit and he makes it in comfort and with pleasure. He brought his son, Cassius, with him this year, a boy now beyond 60, and re-intro- dueed him to his former schoolmaster, Anthony Ames. MT. Anies is another youngster of s4.
 Mr. Perry likes to get back to old Connecticut once in a while and also likes an annual shore dinner, which he never fails to get at some point on the Providence river. where they serve their shore dinners in the good old-fashioned way.

First to Beoin New Sidewalk.

Andrew Gurley of Prospect street is one of the first to fall in line in the matter of improving sidewalks in ac- cordanee with the recent edict of the common council. He is having the walk on the Bellevue street side of his property paved with Futile hardened brick. His brother Albert is doing the work, the latter having inspected side walks recently in several cities, decided brick was the best material. In in- stances where trees grow close to the curbing and at times when repairs are to be made bricks can easily be re- moved instead of tearing up most every other kind of material Mir. Gurley said yesterday the special committee on sidewalk Improvements were pleased and he had their sanction to go on with the work
