.HARR|GAN? THAT'S
NOT Me- CRIES
SHER|FF's DOUBLE
Thomas G. Hawthorn's Resem-
blance to Official Keeps Him
Busy Establishing Identity.

why, hello, sheriff! You're looking
fine and dandy. How're things at the
Officer"
MY dear sir" says Thomas Could
ing Hawthorn, for the nine hundred
and ninety-ninth time for one day,
more or less, you are mistaken. ]
am NOT Sheriff Harrigan. My name is
FORE
"Oh, I'm on to YOU" says the adj
mirer of the Essex county sheriff. You
can't kid me, sheriff. Why, I'm a
member of your grand jury. That, you
know h adds, placing his crooked
finger in Mr.. Hawthorn's coal-lapel
buttonhole. rather gives the game
away, doesn't il, sheriff.
And for fully a half hour, sometimes
less, but generally more, M. Hawthorn,
head of the National Varnish and Color
Company, of s. Vesey street, this city,
has to carefully explain to this type
of man just who he is and just how it
is that he Is not Sheriff Harrigan.
The reason is that between Sheriff Har-
rigan and Mr.. Hawthorn there is hard
ly an iota of difference physically.
Their ages are practically the same,
and for them to pose as twin brothers
would be a most easy thing.
Mr.. Hawthorn, who is a newcomer
to Newark, was startled when he first
came here some time ago at the nu-
merous invitations and requests for his
presence he received from every source
Drivers of huge trucks would rein in
their horses to bespeak him; men. 50
it seemed to Mr.. Hawthorn, would but
tonhole him on the street, in the the
atre, everywhere, in fact. that the
genial temperament and equally genial
c~ountenance of the popular sheriff has
become known. An amusing incident
is told by Mr.. Hawthorn of how he
was the guest of honor at the ball park
during the past season because of the
impossibility of explaining to several
hundred people all at once that he was
not the sheriff, and did not even know
the sheriff.
II remember there was not a sea- to
be had at the box Office" said Mr..
Hawthorn today to a reporter for the
STAR, "and I had secured standing
accommodations for the grand-stand.
No one had I topped the stairs, how
ever. when a young man, spying
me, rose and respectfully offered me his
chair.
Its a pleasure. sheriff he assured
me, and | want no thanks
And with that he went up the stairs.
When / had finally succeeded in i'm
pressing upon him thai l was not the
sheriff. he told me to keep the seat on
general principles anyway. And that's
a common occurrence"
Another peculiar Incident that came
as a direct result of the remarkable
resemblance between the two men oc-
Cured at a lodge of which Mr.. Haw-
thorn is a prominent member.
Great cats" whispered some one as
Mr.. Hawthorn entered and gave the
high sign of the order. you can hang
me IL ! knew the sheriff was a member
of this lodge!'
Another remarkable thing about the
double identity case is thai both men
walk with a like stride, and have a
habit of wearing their mats at about
the same angle.
They have not as yet been introduced,
but friends of both are expecting to
introduce them to each other soon.

TURKEYS
SOAR TO THIRTY CENTS
Cost Per Pound of Popular Fowl Leaps to Highest Price in
T~wenty-six Years, the Cause Being Scanty Supply,
Due TO the Warm Weather.

ton Of being the birthplace of real tur-
key aristocracy, will not be as well rep
resented on Thanksgiving tables as in
former years, owing to the blue-biood

that State not to overstock the market,

RICH MANS SON
SECRETLY WEDS
SHOW GIRL HERE
Millionaire Contractors Son Is
Now Driving Auto Stage
to Support Bride.

Although a search of the records of
the city clerks Office failed to show
any record of the marriage in this city
of George III. Mulligan, jr, son of
George H. Mulligan, a millionaire con-
tractor of Morris Plains, to Bessie Van
Ness, a show girl, it is likely that the
couple were married in this city by a
justice of the peace, who failed to file
the return of the marriage.
Mulligan gave up a prosperous busl-
ness and braved the parental storm to
marry Miss Van Ness. who was with
1.-THE Beauty Spot" company. He Is
now driving a Fifth avenue auto stage
in Manhattan to support his bride. At
the little fiat at POI West Eighty-fourth
street, Manhattan, last night, where
Mulligan and his bride are living, Null
ligan said:
tits hard lines, but works work, and
I guess it does moi matter what kind
of work a fellow does. Father, you
know. was enraged at my marriage.
When I was married I was president
of the New York Auto Company at 94s
Broadway, and was making a lot of
uoney on Sightseeing vehicles. Father
held notes for the money with which
the cars were purchased. When ] mar
ried contrary to his wishes he called
in the notes. I was ruined. Father
own the company now"
Mulligan met Miss Van Ness at an
outing of 1.-THE Beauty Spot company,
followed her to Chicago, returning with
her to this city, when. it is said, he was
married by a justice of h peace.
III IT, ., Fa1I- l.aat nd chat tho
parents thought that the marriage at
least should have been performed by
a clergyman, they went to Paterson
September q and were married again
by the Rev. DR.. David Stuart Hamil-
ton, pastor of st. Paurs Episcopal
Church.

suddenly in Chicago yesterday, will be
brought here, and his funeral will take
place from his brothers home, 262 High

best not to state a definite date for
burial until its arrival.
Mr.. Finkelstein lived in this city until
three years ago. when he went to Chi
cago to TAX UP the duties of secretary
to the commissions of livestock in that
city.
He has many relatives who survive

SHE COMES; He GOES,

On ticket her husband had
sent her, Mrs. Ell. r. Wright,
about 35 year of age. arrived in
Columbus from St. Louis Friday
afternoon, only to find that Mr..
Wright, who was to have met
her here, had disappeared, leav-
ing no trace of himself, beyo
a forwarding address in Chicago,
left at the local postofice. She
said he was a printer; he had
worked in Indianapolis up to a
short time ago, after leaving St
Louis, and she only knew of his
coming to Columbus when she
received a letter at st. Louis,
mailed here Nov. 10. She got
two other letters from him from
Columbus, the last Nov. 80. en-
closing a ticket to Columbus,
and urging her to come. Al
though he had written her that
he was working here, upon her
arrival Friday, ND place where
he worked or lived could be
found. Neither could any per-
son be found who recognized the
post card picture she had of him.
The woman was without funds,
and the case being reported to
the United Charities, that or
ganization promptly supplied her
with a ticket to ST. Louis, and
she left yesterday afternoon, to
go back to her work waiting on
tables in a boarding house there.
She bore every evidence of
being a hard working, deserv-
ing woman, and she seemed
greatly upset by the inexplica-
BILE conduct of her husband.
