All SING WAS FRESH.

All Sing is one of luckily very rare
type of local Chinese He is fresh and
thinks it funny to make himself a
nuisance. He was doing this same
thing about the time that night clerk
A. K. Nawahi was on his way to the
police station to go to work, to wit
about 10:45 last night.
Nawahi demonstrated with All Sing
and asked him to be good. All Sing
made very rude gestures, so Nawahi
displayed his badge and took All Sing
by the collar. He dragged the fresh
youth to a police box but meanwhile
the dragee yelled "Haulin'' several
times and Nawahi was surrounded by
a crowd Of the tougher denizens of
pakeville. But he called for the patrol
wagon.
When the patrol wagon arrived on
the spot one Kawaa was just introdue-
ing new and very refined jag which
he pushed in front of him. Also he
wanted to paste Nawahi on the mush.
Apana sprang from the hurry-up wagon
and nailed Kawaa before he could do
any damage All Sing was bailed out.
Kawaa is probably still sleeping off his
beautiful and erudite jag.

JAP CHALLENGES
FOR MARATHON

Nothing definite has been decided
with regard to another ten-mile race.
An offer was made to Kaoo on Mon
day evening, and he said he would be
around at nine O'clock yesterday morn
ing to give his decision, but he did not
show up.
In the meanwhile Tsukamoto has
come through like a little sportsman
and challenged Jackson to a race over
any distance he likes to name, prefer
ably the regular Marathon distance of
20 miles 3S5 yards.
The challenge states that the race
should be run at the Athletic Park at
any date and time of day to be ar
ranged after the challenge is accepted
jackson stated last night that he would
accept the challenge under one condi.
ton, and that was that the race, if run
at the Athletic Park, should be under
the management of the owners of the
park, and not by any outside manage
ment.

masters Clerk Gee of Major Rays of
fee was one of the clerks who handled
some of the money while it was at the

Col Rogers turned the 100000 over
to the chief discussing officer at Ha-

 But what Mr Osborne lacks in the matter of a coat he makes up in his hat He wears, it constantly. He puts it on the first thing in the morning, and takes it off the last thing at night, No incident during the day can cause it's removal, and he never goes to church because he might 1e requested 10 take it off

Got Marriage Licenses.


Mary C. Franklin OF sis West iO2d street
who applied yesterday with Charles
Goulden Of 2en West Seventy sixth street
for marriage license. wrote on the blank
that abe was @ovsr forty City Clerk
scully refused to accept the form. The
law. he said. provided that the age OF the
applicant ahould be specifically stated.
Mrs. Franklin, who is q widow. said that
she knew better and that she would not
give her age even II she had to 60 to some
other State to be married. Mr.. Scully
finally decided to issue the license
About an hour later William Griffith Of
80 Washington Square and Florence G.
Vernon Of So West Fifty seventh street
applied for a license, and In Missy vernon' q
form 1t was found that she had filled out
the age line "over 49, This time Mr..
Scully was obdurate. not being up against
q widows might He told the couple that
unless the age Of the lady was given they
could not have license.
Miss Vernon said there was no reason
why abe should betpompelled to make
her age public mefefy because she was
engaged to be married. Mr.. Scully was
obdurate and Mr.. Griflath and his hanoee
went apart to talk it over. Mr.. Grinith
evidently persuaded the lady that the
only thing to do was to give In, because
she walked back finally into Mr.. Scully's
oflce and wrote in her form that she was
born In September, 1878.
These are the first cases since the bureau
was established In which women have
refused to state their ages.
