JUMPING CRAZE HAS
 HIT NEW YORK
Two Hundred and Thirty-Five Per
 sons Want to Leap Seven Miles Next June.

New York, Feb. 10.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican. 1.-The longest jump, or rather series of jumps ever made, aggregating 35,25O lacking is the consent of the proper may take place here next June Fur thermOre, this remarkable Jumping feat will not be in distance, but in height. in which class the record is now less than six and one half feet. The proposed jump, therefore, will ex- ceed the existing mark some five thou sand fold. This remarkable jump, if it really takes place (and all that is lacking if the consent of the proper authorities, will not occur as a part of any athletic games, but in connection with the opening of the new Black wells Island bridge over the East river, on June 12. A mania for jump ing off this bridge at its opening seems to have seized New York, since no less than 235 persons have already made application for permission to make the jump into the river at the opening ceremonies. As the clear space between the bridge and the sur face of the river is 150 feet, the total
 
 feet. The classification of the 235 per sons who have expressed a desire to make this jump at the carnival in connection with the opening of the bridge reveals some rather interesting figures. One hundred and sixty y-eight of the applicants are professional jumpers and divers, looking for free thirty-four are freaks. twentyfour are persons whose only avocation is jumping whenever and wherever the opportunity offers, while | nine desire simply to commit suicide | Thirty of the applicants are women. whose ages range between IS and 32 | So far the committee in charge of the | bridge opening has not become enthu- | siastic over these applications and it | is possible that all may be denied and | New York deprived of a spectacle re- a human storm.

The most wholesale deportation of Chinese ever attempted will take place this week when the largest and at the same time the most curious passenger list in the history of this port will be- come a matter of record with the sail ing of a British steamer for the far east. In point of numbers there will be 5000 of these passengers. far more than the largest boat now afloat can accommodate. In point of curiosity the passengers are probably in their en- tirety the strangest cargo which has ever left any port. Not one of the 5000 will either eat or occupy cabin or steerage place. since each and all of them are dead. Some indeed have been dead for several years, and all of the 5000 are Chinamen whose remains are being taken back to their native land

The fable of the hare and the tor toise received a severe setback this week whn a turtle at the Zoo broke all speed rcords within the municipal limits either by bird. beast or machine In fact Adam, a 900-year-old turtle from the Galapagos islands in the Pa cific, who weighs 300 pounds, and has never before succeeded in covering more than a mile in an hour. actually travelled unaided a quarter of a mile in nine seconds, or at the rate of more than 100 miles an hour. Inded. for the first time in the history Of the species, a turtle came near being arrested for exceeding the speed limit. The whole affair came as a result of Adams es- cape from the reptile house at the Zoo which was discovered less than an hour after it happened. There was no excitement over the escape for Keeper TwOmey explained that the old party travelled about a mile a day, so that his capture would be easy. As a mat ter of fact, Adam was tracked through the snow by two keepers, who shortly came upon him at the top of the parks steepest and longest hill. Adam got there first by about a second and the next thing that the keepers saw was the ancient turtle sliding down hill at a rate which before his course was stopped, became almost two miles a minute. Once the slide was over it was an easy matter to capture him, but because of his 300 pounds weight it was necessary to bring the turtle back to the Zoo in an automobile, thus giving him in addition to his speed record that of being the first turtle to ride in an auto.

Hereafter the tailor's bill is to take its place on an equal footing with the coal bill, the grocer's accounts and the
 butchers charge as obligations that
 must be met with reasonable prompt ness. That at least was the decision of the Merchant TaiIor's National ex- change. representing leading merchant tailors in all parts of the county at it's annual convention here this week. The tailors declare that many men. even among those of wealth and business prominence, have made it their habit to let their accounts with their tailors run for months, or even years, al
 though they could not think of doing this in the case of any other necessity that they might purchase. Even the comic papers. they complain, have made jokes of the way in which trust ing tailors are "stung" by delinquent customers. To put their business on an equality with other important in dustries in this respect the national or ganizatiOn of the clothes builders has an extensive credit bureau which will make a business of securing the prompt collection of the bills of it's members and their protection from professional beats" of whom it is said there are several thousand in the coun- try. These men make it a practice to change the scene of their activities frequently, running up heavy bills in each place they visit. HencefOrth their operations will be restricted, if not stopped entirely. by the fact that the tailors' credit bureau will warn its members against them. Now that the tailors have adopted the methods of a age, about the only remain ing victims whom the man who dislikes to pay bills apparently are the doctor and the minister.
