Jay Gould and the Physician

A CASE of resemblance that bothered New Workers
1 for years was that of Jay Gould, the millionaire
railroad magnate, and his innocent double, New
York physician The physician was taking stroll
one morning at an American winter resort, when he
suddenly confronted in the path by dwarfsh,
swarthy, wien faced man. wearing a brown check
suit.
"Mr Gould, believe?' the physician murmured
Gould stared at his counterfeit presentment."
e! am not quite sure that am he exclaimed Il
wish you wouldn't wear clothes like mine.
Shave off your beard, and won t. snapped the
physician
These men were for years constantly mistaken for
each other and if the physician had not been honest
Gould might well have feared for his millions; for
the physician might have presented himself almost
anywhere Gould, and raised on his face" almost
any sum of money.
Ambassador and Judge
A MOTHER amusing that of Sir Edward
Thornton. once English Ambassador to the
United States, and Judge Poland of Vermont. At a
wedding in Washington a young man went up to
Judge Poland, greeted him, and held out his hand.

''Is it possible asked the young man, that
you don't remember seeing me with my father in
Mex;co?"
Il don't recollect ever being in Mexico
why, surely you are Sir Edward Thornton"
"By no means l am Judge Poland of Vermont. ;"
A week or so later the baf1ed young man caught
sight of Judge Poland, he thought, and deter
mined to smooth over his recent b1under. That

he said, my taking you for old Thornton

was the query.
"Why, Judge Poland of Vermont of course
'My name is Thornton!" Numbered the Ambas-
sador, turning on his heel.
The Case of Martin Guerre
DERHAPS the most remarkable case of doubles in
all history is that of Martin Guerre French
who was born near Bayonne, in the first half
of the sixteenth century In the crowd of witnesses

conflicting changes this case is without rival in

Bring the Doubles Together

0NE reason of course, that so many mistakes
~ made in the identity of persons is that the
reputed doubles not often brought together
for comparison and critical examination. Thus,

said to have his exact counterpart in the Car of

appearance Viewed apart, there was undoubtedly
a certain facial resemblance but close inspection
the difference obvious to permit any mistake
of identity. And the was true of the reputed
resemblance between Du Maurier and Alma Tadema.

fusion which was Immediately dispeled by confront
ing the two persons resembling each other in the
trial of Johann Hoch, the Chicago Blueteard.

his power to avoid.
When Edna May, the act

much annoyed by a double
who borrowed money in her
name. This unknown person
made a practice of going to
shops or exhibitions where
the actress would be likely to
be known, and suddenly an

privately; but remained still

BY FIFTH CAVALRY

at Lellehua yesterday the Cavalry beat
the Marines by score of 9 to 9 after
an eleveninning game. At the end OF
the eighth inning the score was 3 TO
. In favor OF the Leilehua boys, but
the Marines made one In the ninth and
tied the score.
In the tenth neither side scored. but
the Cavalry In the last inning did
things In style. No less than six men
got home safe and the game was as
good as over. Hansen was the one
who started the ball going. and II was
a great swat that took him to first and
Butler to second. Then the cavalry
got busy and as before stated, six
troopers came dashing oyer the plate
The Cavalry and Marines are now
tied for second place, and It is pos.
sible that the two teams may play on
for the honor.

SPORTS
Where Modern
Polo Was
Started

Probably no sport of worldwide
fame has been blessed with such
mass OF misinformation from the
pens Of would-be historians as has
been polo. Polo has been credited
to the Hindus. to the Tartars, TO the
Persians, and to about every other
Oriental people known to have in
dulged extensively in horsemanship.
To trace the origin of polo would
be about as simple a matter as to
trace the origin of baseball. Prob
ably the husky lads Of the stone age
amused themselves by betting rocks
about field with clubs. Probably
the first man who ever backed II
horse amused himself by whacking
clods Of earth with an elongated
stick. The Englishman attributes
baseball to the ancient game Of
FOUNDERS" by the same line Of
try directly to Hindustan. But the
mounted hocky of India bears just
about as close a resemblance to the
game of polo as baseball does to
FOUNDERS" or two old cat"
Modern polo had its birth in Eng
land about the end OF the sixties. &"
A group Of hussar officers were fight.
ing ennui In the officers club at Al
rershOt. One of them was reading a
sporting paper in which appeared IN
article by an officer In India, telling
of game which he had witnessed
played on horseback. with mallets
and balls.
1T soundeth like a goodly game, :"
said the officer In question. Il move
that we try It," .....
Horses were sent for and party
started TO rigNup mallets. Ancient
billiard cues were secured, blocks Of
wood were fastened to the ends, and
the first game OF polo was played In
England with ivory billiard balls.
There was no 'fourtcen-two" rule,
and the first game was played on
cavalry chargers.
The snort took on at once, rough
rules were formulated. and soon a
real game was evolved. From then
on the progress OF the game was
steady, and in due time II was trans.
planted to America.

Death of Mrs. M. y. Harrington.

Mrs. Mary ]. Harrington, who for
years conducted millinery store in
this city and for a number of years
past has engaged in the same business
in Durand, was found in her rooms
in Durand, Monday, in a dying condi.
tion. While it is not known how long
she was sick it is believed she was tax
en- early Sunday morning and was too
weak to summon assistance. Not com
ing to her store as usual Monday one of
her employees went to her room and
found her in the condition stated, death
ensuing at II o'clock Mrs. Harring-
ton was rs years of age, born in New
York state but had spent most of her
life in this county. She is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Emma E. Retain of
this city, and one residing at Atlanta,
GA. Funeral services were held We'd
nesday, Rev. N. G. Karr officiating.
Mrs. Harrington had been member of
the Methodist church for sixty five
years.

An Incident of Picking Siege.

The late DR.. W. S. Ament was one of
the brave missionaries who went
through the Boxer siege of the legations
at Peking in 1900. Among those who
experienced the terrors of that time
was an American woman with her hus.
band and young child. The mother
narrates this characteristic incident of
that trying time:
Let me tell you about one act of DIR.
Ament's the day the siege began. We
had reached the British legation com.
ing from the Methodist compound when
I discovered that in our haste l had not
taken any of the prepared food for baby.
spoke to my husband about it, but he
said he could do nothing, that we were
fortunate to get to our present place of
safety alive.
8" But baby will die I said, with
out that food.
" / am sorry, but anyone would be
killed who tried to go back for the food.
We must trust the Lordp
''Dr. Ament had heard our converse
tion, and without saying a word. he
suddenly left us. Later learned that
alone, carrying his rifle, he had wake ed
back to the Methodist compound, fol-
lowed only by a Chinese whom he did
not know, but who evidently knew
him. The gates of the compound he
found locked Climbing up on the wall
he looked down on the inside on a doz-
en- Boxers each armed, and their guns
pointed toward him.
Z" If you won't shoot, 1 won't, he
said, and truce was formed. He
found the baby's food, and loading him
self down with that and other articles
of food, he rode back to the legation
upon bicycle, followed by his un-
known friend.
Wnen the other missionaries saw DR..
Ament return they said that if he
could go back to the compound they
could, and soon a string of men could
be seen carrying food, clothing and
other articles into the legation grounds
AS long as they could go with safety
they continued to go, and only stopped
when the fire from the Boxers on the
city wall warned them that their lives
were really in danger. There is no
doubt in my mind that our boys life
was spared by the heroism of DR..
Ament, and that all of the adults, as
we'll, owed much of their comfort to the
example which he set-in fact, it is
doubtful if there would have been food
enough in the legation to enable us to
hold out till relief came. Michigan

Young Boy Killed by Grand Trunk

While riding his fathers bicycle
Tuesday evening, Franklin Glenn, soc
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Knick erbocker,
600 Alger Ave, was almost instantly
killed by the westbound Grand Trunk
train at the Ilenwood Ave. crossing.
The boy had just learned to ride the
wheel and had been riding about the
vicinity for some time and finally
started around the block reaching the
crossing just as the train came along.
Glenn either did not hear or see the
train or else was too frightened to at
tempt TO dismount or turn out of the
way of danger. The side of the engine
struck the wheel throwing the boy a
number of feet and injuring him 60
that death resulted in a few minutes.
Coroner Cole was at once notified and
took charge of the body and will hold
an inquest
Glenn was very bright, active boy,
ten years old last Saturday, and great
favorite with his playmates. His par
ents have the deepest sympathy of the
entire community. Funeral services
were held Yesterday afternoon from the
Corunna Ave- NJ. E. church, Rev. p b.

Good Appointments.

Mayor Burke has added two more
good selections to his list of appoint.
i've officers by naming Seth @. Pulver
for city attorney and DR.. G. l.. Cramer
health officer. Mr.. Pulvers appoint
ment was urged by many of the best
people of the city who believe he will
be an active, careful and successful
attorney, willing to give the time neces-
sary to properly advise city officials and
the council and will not hold the posi-
tion simply for the salary allowance
but to protect the city's interest and
make record for himself.
DR.. Cramer has given good service
as health officer and will do so again
although the salary will be but $500 at
which figure it was placed Monday
evening by the council after fee plan
was defeated.
Both men were unanim ously confirm.

Joe Rose Brought Back from Indiana

Joseph Rose was arrested the latter
part of last week and brought to Owos-
so from South Bend, Ind, to answer a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, on complaint of Claude Day
and is now in Jail awaiting hearing.
Day claims he was member of a
suit club, paying "$2 down and 81 a
week" until finally each member was
to receive suit. After paying $26. so
Day had not received suit and Rose
had gone from the county. He claimed
Rose said he was acting as agent for the
Cooperative Furnishing Co., but does
not believe such company exists.
Roses family left some time ago for
South Bend, Ind. Rose having gone
before and began working in piano
factory to support his wife and children.
Walsh & Pardee have been retained to
defend Rose and his examination set
for next Tuesday, with bail fixed at
$500 with two sureties.
Mrs. Rose and three children are in
South Bend with little money. She
writes that Rose was getting so week
and hoped to get better place, save
up enough money and pay back the
losers in the suit club. Some of the
goods he had ordered for the members
arrived, but he had used the money
collected for the needs of the family
and could not take the packages from
the express Office. He had no other
source of revenue and therefore left the
city without explanation to club mem
bers.
1t is hoped Rose may find some way
to square up and get back to work.

Large Acreage of Peppermint.

The Owosso Sugar Co. will grow on
its ten thousand acre Prairie farm this
year six hundred fifty acres of pepper
mint. Two hundred were grown last
year and the crop proved highly profit
able. About nine hundred acres will
be devoted to sugar beets, with large
acreage devoted to spring crops and
hay. The dykes about the farm were
not injured by the high water last week
and it is believed that they are now in
shape to protect the farm at all times.
If this proves to be true it will be hard
to estimate the value of the farm as the
land is very rich and suitable for crops
of almost any kind.
