CUPID IS THE
KID WHO CAN
Not Be BEAT
LOVE IS OFTEN TICKLE, BUT
1T is EVER AND EVER
PERSISTENT.

Judge H. H. Atkinson tells a
stgpy that is one of the best that
Has come to light in Tonopah for
some time. Several days ago a
foreigner announced to his tndge-
ship that he intended to commit
for better or for worse and
as consequence made an engage
ment with the judge for that even
ing, at which time the Judge was
to tie the knot. Neither Of the
contracting parties, however, APP
peared at the appointed time, and
the Judge was compelled to forego
the pleasure of making two hearts
beat as one"
Bright and early the following
morning the prospective bridegroom,
fearing that he had committed a
bTeech of law by not appearing
at the time appointed, skunk into
court to offer apologies and to adj
wise the Judge that his almost
bride had become inebriated on the
evening previous, also that she had
made several former matrimonial
Iembarkations, nons of which had
proven success; to the effect that
the near-bridegrooms had decided
that She was poor risk. :
Upon departing, however, he
stated to the judge: Never minda,
judge, | goa away and coma back
in few day and | bringa along
fina de gal and then / getta de
marry ala de right"

BLACK HAND
Man SUICIDES
IN PRISON
HANGED HIMSELF WHILE TRIAL
is PENDING ON CHARGE
MADE BY AUNT.

PHILADELPHIA, April with
a deed of ownership to a ceme-
terry lot in his pocket, Charles s,
Davis was found hanging to the
bars covering his prison cell in
Moyamensing yesterday morning,
having committed suicide during the
night. He had been sent to prison
by the federal authorities on a
charge of misusing the mails, the
specific accusation being that he
had written Black Hand letters to
his aunt in this city.
Nothing is known about Davis
connections except that he came
here from New York and that his
aunt, on his maternal side, is Mrs.
II. M. Tully of No. 2400 North
Broad street.
Shortly after he had come to
Philadelphia Davis was arrested by
Chief Postal Inspector Cortelyou's
men at the instance of Mrs. Tully.
The woman had received threat
ening letters just prior to Davis
arrest and it is believed that the
writer, Davis, according to the al
legation 'of the postal authorities,
had sent them to her because he
wanted a share of the insurance
money which the aunt. received as
beneficiary named in policy OF
the life Of his mother and Mrs.
ITully's sister. Davis had paid part
of the premiums.

South street, was struck and in
stantly killed by trolley car in
front of his home yesterday after

scream she started to his assist

over his body she fell to the pave
ment in a dead faint. The mangled
body was removed to the Polytechnic
hospital, where physicians said that
death must have been instantane-
GUS. The mother is confined to her
home, in a serious condition.
With a number of other children
Edward was playing on the pave

car approached at fair speed, Ed

and a goyerness, Miss Jane Fowler.
Bottomly, who was So years old,
had just left the Worley Mills in
Cardington, where he was employed,
and had walked down to the spot
where he received fatal injuries.
Bystanders told the police of the
Thirty-eighth district that touring
cars are in the habit of driving at
great speed along City Line and
that the two which confused Bot
tomley were going at pretty fast
pace. He seemed to lose his pres
ence of mind when a large car
narrowly missed him and toot
from the horn of the Minor ma

SCHEFTELS DECLARED

NEW YORK, April THE ref
cree who has been probing the af-
fairs of the firm of B. H. Scheftels
& Co. in regard to determining
whether they were bankrupt at the
time an involuntary petition was
filed against them by creditors, has
found that they were solvent at the
time their office was closed by the
government. Consequently rec
ommendation will be made denying
the petition of the creditors that
they be declared insolvent. This
has nothing to do with the case
of the government against the firm.

RUFF GIVES
UP ALL HOPE ]
OF FREEDOM
NOTIFIES ATTORNEYS TO MAKE
NO APPEAL TO THE FED
ERAL COURT.

SAN FRANCISCO, April r.
Abraham Ruef win not appeal to
the federal court in an effort to
effect his release from San Quentin
penitentiary At least that is the
present order of things as outlined
in directions given by the former
boss to the members of his coun-
sci in this city.
Despite the final decision of the
supreme court, rendered last week,
although it was expected and al
though the appeal had been taken
primarily to lay a foundation for
action tefore a United States tribu-
nal, Ruef has suddenly determined
that he will stay quietly and work
out his freedom in the iute mill
The theory upon which this ac-
tion is based is that federal ap-
peal would take at least two years
to be decided and in the meanwhile
Ruef would be ever before the pub
lie eye as a man whose case had not
yet been determined. When de-
cision was finally rendered if he
lost, the general public would think
of him as but just beginning his
term of punishment. Whereas, by
using his money for prison reform
and for aiding and comforting his
fellow sufferers in captivity, Ruef
believes that he will gain a greater
satisfaction as he really has come
to the conclusion that he can hope
for nothing from the courts.
