Popular Pennant-Winning
Manager.

Manager Jack Tlghe of the Islanders
has at last arrived at the heighth of
fame, as a cigar has been named for
him and is now enjoying big sale n
this city. The cigar is one Of the best
5-ceAters made by a local manufac-
turer and outside of the name it would
be a good seller, and with the Jack
Tighe" sign on it, it has a double sell
ing pull. The box lid contains a half
length picture of the pennant-winning
manager. It is an excellent likeness
of Big Jack and his friends are con-
graduating him on his picture and
name having been placed on the box

dentally Jack gets a royalty from the
sale of the cigars.

To GUST HEYDLER
Purchase of Philadelphia Ma.
tional Club Has a Polit-
ical Bearing.
FIVE AGAINST EXECUTIVE
Appears TO Have Been Engineered by
c. w. Murphy of Chicago
$4,000 Paid for King.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 27.-In the
most sensational deal known to major
league baseball Horace S. FogeI. Phil
adelphia's well known sporting writer,
purchased the Philadelphia National
league baseball team yesterday.
Moreover, the transaction has ua-
tional importance, for the transfer If
stock to the new ownership means the
overthrow of John Hey6!er as presi-
dent of the National league. Involved
in the sale is the most cunning coup
known to fast-set baseball for the in
terests supporting the candidacy of
John Montgomery Ward for the Ma
tional league presidency virtually
spent thousands of dollars to buy a
club to make his election an assuritv.
Prior to the sale four clubs were for
the retention of Mr. Heydler and four
clubs were against him, but under the
rules he could hold office if majority
of the votes were not cast against him.
Pays $4,000 for Killing.
Mr.. Fogel said last night that he had
mailed a check for $4,000 to the Chi
cago National league club for the pur-
chase of John Killing.
This deal is a further indication of
the close relations between the new
Philadelphia ownership and Charles
Murphy of Chicago. 1t is generally
understood that Killing will come TO
Philadelphia in the role Of manager rs
well as backstop. The deal will IT
stand if the National Commission re-
fuses to reinstate King The National
Commission suspended King for a
period of three years for failure to re-
port to the Chicago club last April
and for the additional offense of play
ing with an outlaw club.

over the line Dec. 10, but they find it
will be impossible to do this. Feb. Is

OF course steam, and not electricity,
will be the motive power in the initial
run. Good progress has been and is
being made on the line, but there still
remains a section of about 10 miles on
which the steel is not down and there
are several bridges not completed
some, in fact, being held back by the
impossibility of getting the material on
the ground till the track is laid to
them.

of the Inconvenience of former days
and how little the present generation
thinks of the Injuries of the railroad
train. For a part of his early life Mr..
Van Ness lived at Pompton Plains. His
place. of business was in Newark. now
ever, and although there were no
stages running which Mr.. Van Ness
could get, he was obliged to reach
Newark on time on Monday morning.
Accordingly, he walked; and when his
work was lone on Saturday night, he
walked back to Pompton Plains. Again,
when in 1910, it was rumored about the
country that Daniel Webster, the great
statesman and orator, was about to
speak at Trenton, people from outly-
ing towns, such as Pompton Plains,
We're forced to go to the nearest rail-
road system, a long distance, and after
reaching there, were forced to ride to
Trenton in cattle cars If they wished to
hear Webster speak. The cattle cars
of today are Pullman" in comparison
with the cattle cars of the ~forties, he
says.
Among those who were present at
his birthday celebration were Mr.. and
Mrs. Giles Van Duyne, of Elizabeth
avenue; Mrs. Abraham Ryerson, of
Lincoln Park, and other Newarkers.
Mr.. Van Ness has three daughters and
two sons. fifteen grandchildren and
eleven great-grandchildren.

&. Dan Ness Cast Els
First Dote Seventy-four
Years Ago for the Charter
of Neua,k-- Tells of Mcon-
bencies of Years Ago.

John ]. Van Ness, who, seventy-four
years ago, cast his first vote for the
charter of Newark, has just celebrated
his ninety-ffth birthday among his
friends and descendants, at his present
home in Butler. Morris county, N. j.
Mr.. Van Ness is physically healthy and
while too feeble to walk to any great
extent has lever lacked the ability to
eat as heartily as n of his great
grandchildren. He attributes his on
gevity to his care of his digestive or
gan and claims that to chew food long
and carefully Is one of the most inn
portant rules of living.
While his friends and relatives were
having a jolly time celebrating the old
gentleman's birthday, he Joined in the
spirit of the occasion with all hearth
ness, and when asked. as he repeatedly
was, how he felt, he would reply that
his health was all he could hope for.
II am going to live to be 100 years
Old" he says.
The story of Mr.. Van Ness's long life
Is one of hard work and persistent en-
deavor. His trade was that of carpen-
ter and builder, and many of the
bridges whose firmness m solidity are
often remarked, and which are found at
various points through Essex and Nor
ris counties, over the Morris canal, are
mute witnesses of the skill which Mr..
Van Ness possessed in his younger days.
The old Quinby carriage factory, which
used to be located Pal the present site
of the New Jersey Central railroad sta
ton. was also one of the early jobs on
which Mr.. Van Ness worked.
Mr.. Van Ness's birthplace was a
farm located at Millbrook, N. j., and
after spending his youth on the farm,
he decided to learn the carpenter trade
In Newark, and accordingly started for
his place when 10 years old. He soon
gained the reputation of a carefui
worker, and when he reached his ma
jority he was making good money and
was pointed out as n of the indus
trious young men round town. HIS
first vote he cast for the adoption OF
the Newark city charter; his first ma
tional vote was for William Henry
Harrison for president. Since that
time he has never missed a vote until
last year, when through inclement
weather and his feebleness hes was un-
able to get to the polls.
