Body of Girl in Bali Gown Cast
Up by the Waves at
Atlantic City.
HER ESCORT is MISSING
EXAMINATION By PHYSICIAN
SHOWS GIRL WAS EVIDENTLY
KILLED AND DEATH BY DROWN.
ING NOT CREDITED.

Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. 14-With
her ball room gown frozen to her flesh
the body of handsome eighteen-year-
old Janet Adams, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Adams, Of this city, was
cast up by the sea early Sunday morn
ing and was found by a trolley crew Of
the Longport service two miles below
the city.
The girl disappeared mysteriously on
the night of February 4, after attend
ing dance on the Million-Dollar Pier
in company with w. NJ. Seyler, a mar
ried man.
Left Last Monday
Seyler disappeared last Monday when
he learned that Mrs. Adams. the girls
mother had warrant issued for his
arrest. charging him with eloping with
her daughter.s He deserted a wife and
two children. and the wife is now ill
in bed from shock and fear. because of
the accusation of the dead girls moth
er that her husband was in some way
responsible for the death of her daugh-
ter.
There is deep cavity over the girls
left eye, apparently made with blunt
instrument
When County Physician Souders to-
night gave out the result of his autop-
sy he declared it to be his conviction
that the blow was delivered by a sec.
ond person with blunt instrument. 1t
caused hemorrhage of the brain
which resulted in death.
The body could not have been thrown
overheard from the pier. Such are his
deductions. No water was found in
the lungs, and the drowning theory by
an accidental fall from the pier is thus
ruled out.
She Wants Probe.
The mother of the girl who has been
i'll since the night Of her daughters
disappearance. identified the body and
insisted that she wanted the police to
sift the mystery to the bottom. In the
meantime the police have sent out a
renewed call for the arrest of William
Seyler, who was last in the company of
the dead girl, and his brother, Arvis,
neither of whom can be found.
The Seylers, the police say are want
ed to shed light on the last movements
of the now dead girl.

He GOES TO PRISON

Today Sheriff Linus Meredith took
Frank Coffin, who plead guilty 20 a
charge of embezzlement in the criminal

the Right Way to Govern
Their City.

THEY HEEDED ADVICE
Furnished by Statistics Bu-

City Compliment.

Mayor Hoover and City Clerk
Schrader of Sullivan, Indiana, were i'll
Richmond today securing ideas on how
city should be run and for the pur-
pose of becoming familiar with the
city form of government. The visitors
stated that Sullivan had recently
graduated from the ranks of a town
into a city and they were after new
ideas. They declared that they wrote
TO Indianapolis for the purpose of
ascertaining what city to visit to Sc
cure the best ideas in respect to mu-
nicipal government, and were referred
to Richmond by the officials in the
statistics department in the capital
city.
Got Good Advice.
The Sullivan officials state that
they were told by indianapolis author

van would do we'll to follow closely the
example set by Richmond and make

in the state of similar size, and that
the police and fire departments were
of high degree of efficiency.
The visitors state that they felt

which will be of benefit to them
Chief of Police Gormon stated that
in his opinion Richmond was the best
regulated city of its size in the entire
country. He declared that while he
did not mean that wings were sDrout-
ing out of the town clock, he firmly
believed that there was not another
city in the United States of similar
size where the moral standard was
better than that of the Quaker City.
The fact that Richmond was referred
to as an example for Sullivan to fol-

evidence which tends to show resi-
dents of this city what a privilege it
is to live in such a town..

The Gun Charmers.

Among the more superstitiously In
clined of the sporting Cingalese are
gun charmers, who allege that a gun
may be charmed In different ways and
by different methods. An essential
part of the process, however, appears
to be the muttering of certain formu-
lac.
A gun, the charmers say, may be
charmed in any one Of the following
four ways: ~ SO that 1t will wound
the animal fired at, but will not kill
outright; (2) so that he who carries 1t
shall find nothing worth shooting; 81
so that it will not kill anything flying,
but will kill animals that run. and
az so that it will not kill anything
that runs, but will kill anything flying.
No gun can be charmed at all IL the
owner takes the precaution Of rubbing
some pork fat on the barrel or at
taches piece of the outer skin OF the
rat snake to the stock In such a way
that 1t cannot be seen.

The Rich.


1t Is a great mistake to believe that
the rich are holding us down. As a
matter of fact, they are pulling us up.
II there were no rich people to keep
our eyes glued upon the great gulf
between having and not having none
of us would hustle. We have to have
the rich mans mansions prodding us,
his power scourging us and his auto
mobile butting us to get anywhere at
all. We have to see his wife and
daughters in silks and jewels and
realize what our own wives and daugh-
tiers without these things think of us
as providers to peel our coats off and
get into the game None of us can go
out driving with such as we have and

A Railroad Mans Dream.

Railroad men are strong on dreams.
One morning an engineer came down
to the train masters Office and declared
that he would not go out on his run
that morning and asked for a layoff.
His superior asked him what the trou-
BILE was, and when he said that he
had had a dream in the night that
troubled him he was laughed at and
an effort was made to induce him to
take his run out. But he refused and
was urged to tell his dream.
81 dreamed last night that my broth
er was killed in head-on collision
near Topeka" he said, land later
dreamed that old Cos blew up" AS
COS was his engine, he resisted the
laughter of his friends and would not
take her out, and another man was
sent for to take the job.
That afternoon the boiler Of COS ex-
ploded on the road, killing the sub
stitute engineer and the fireman. A
week later the engineers brother was
killed in collision, as he had dream

"Tom," said a father to his son,
whose school report showed him to
have been an idle young scamp, what
have you been studying this term"
Logic, father" replied Tom. Il
can prove you are not here now"
Indeed! How so"
"Well, you must be either at Rome
or elsewhere"
Certainly"
"You are not at RomeT
mo"
"Then you must be elsewhere"
"Just So"
"And If you are elsewhere you clear
~ can't be here.
For answer the father took up a
cane that lay near and laid it smartly
across his sons back.
"Don't!' cried Tom. "You are hurt
ing me-"
mot at all You have just proved
conclusively that l am not here, so l
can't be hurting you"
Before his stern parent had quite
done with him Tom felt that there
must be- after all, flaw somewhere
in his logic.-London Tit-Bits.

The Cocoa Plantation.

A traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks Of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which IL very strong is
fatal to them. To secure this protec-
ton the planters shield them by ba-
mana trees and plaintain trees, the
broad leaves of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which Is given by trees known as i'm
mortels," or, as the planters call them,
"the mother of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has a sort of
canopy.

The sun was shining brightly down
on the farmyard, and under a large
willow tree a number Of rooibekkjes-
small, red beaked birds-were feeding.
Suddenly a Kaffir appeared and fell on
his knees about ten yards behind the
birds. He crept yard nearer, but If
| had not been watching him very
closely | could have sworn that he did
not move. The man seemed to be all
In one piece. He moved entirely, not
In sections of knees and legs and arms
and upper body. Then he winked at
me, so certain was he Of the success
of his exploit. l am certain some of
the birds saw this alien figure, yet so
imperceptible were his motions that
they did not suspect he was human
being-and foe. Nearer and nearer
he drew. Suddenly he lay still, meas
ured the distance with his eye, and
then, with lightning motion, he
stretched forward and grabbed. The
birds arose, alarmed, shrieking shrilly
all but one. And that one was fiut-
tering, terrified and helpless, in the
Kaffir's huge hand.-London Standard.

Iha Skin of Nv Taeth.

In the book Of Job appears the SEN
tence, 81 am escaped with the skin of
my teeth" which is modernized "by
the skin of my teeth" and gives the
idea of narrow escape, one so close
as to be just by the thickness Of the
skin ON the teeth, which is SO thin
that no microscopic has yet been able
to find it. ITO cast in the teeth"
means to throw defiant reproaches or
insults spitefully, as one would cast a
stone at the exposed teeth Of snarl-
ing dog. Tooth and nair denotes the
manner of an action full of frenzied
fury, typified by biting and scratching,
as when two belligerent cats make the
fur fly.

PARTIES AND ELECTIONS IN U. S.


self with the professed principles of
each candidate. Every candidates
name appears with equal privilege
upon the ballot, whether he has re-
ceived the endorsement of any machine
organization or not. II we had the
Australian ballot coupled with long
term Of Office Especially for all clerical
Offices and for the recall, there is no
doubt that the present party machines
would be completely broken up.
The Australian ballot is objected to
by the organization leaders in that it
would destroy party solidarity and dis
cipline. +" Undoubtedly it wouldTin
the present use OF the word party"
No one considers that it would do
away with parties until we all became
OF one mind; but we would have parties
and elections directly on the issues on
which the people are divided. We
would get the expression of the popu-
lar will. The present system is han
dicap to the popular or progressive
party of the country. 1t gives the con-
servative party, which is always the
party OF wealth, the ability to direct
legislation in their own interests thru
hired machine macipulators, and it
must be admitted that for intellectual
sleight OF hand and clever word Jug
glery the American politician has ex-
celled anything that has ever been pro-
duced in the halls of Bagdad or the
courts Of Machiavelli. The time is
ripe for this change. The public re-
sents appeals to loyalty to the grand
old party" He loses votes today who
boasts of party loyalty and talks about
his devotion to the principles Of his
party when the public wonders what
those principles are. The old-fashioned
appeal, Nov is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of our party

broad smile on the face of the aver

Help Your Town

Help to make the town attractive,
Help to stop the ones who sheer;
1t will pay you to be active
Since your interests are here.
Would your backyard stand inspection?
What about that vacant lot?
Rubbish helps to spread detection,
Neatness brings the cheerful thought.
Help to make the city fairer,
You can do it if you try,
And you'll be a profit sharer
In the splendid by and by;
Don't forget while you are grumbling
That you might be something more;
Let there be no future stumbling
Der distractions at your door.
Help to make the town more splendid,
Do the part you have to do;
There is much that may be mended
Through little aid from you.
Help decrease the dirt that's blowing,
Help to purify the breeze;
When it happens to be showing
Clean your sidewalks, if you please.

A curious way in which fire in the
heart Of a coal pile keeps itself from
being put out is noted in mining
journal. Such fires often start in the
interior of large piles of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which is prevented by the size of the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around 1t into coke. which is
nearly impervious to water The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting out the fire, which it
never really reaches. The only way
to deal with the situation is to drive
into the pile sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal,
and then to couple hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

Ryron's Bride of Abydos."

1t was after Lord Byron arrived in
Greece that he wrote that beautiful
poem "The Bride Of Abydos" and that
exquisite song the Maid of Athens"
which, says a Paris contemporary,
every Englishman Of culture knows by
heart. Documents enable us to estab-
lish the true identity of the heroine
of this poem. She was one of the
three daughters Of Mr.. Black, English
vice consul at Athens, at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet Theresa Black
married an archaeologist, NJ. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty. her charm,
her elegance conquered every heart,
including Byrons. In 1873 the hero
Inc of the poet was an old woman Of
upright figure and still showing signs
of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The London Times,
moved by her distress, opened at this
epoch subscription In her favor. She
died in 1875.-London Globe.
