who, with his son, Stephen, was
drowned in the Atlantic ocean when

a storm back in 1856.
Mrs. Jeffries was born In South

days at school, spent in a little log

boarding school for young ladies at
Midtown. Mrs. Jeffries had personal
charge of her extensive real estate
holdings until the advanced age Of

REJECTS PART
OF FOUNDATION
Building Inspector on Job
Hyme Co. Building.

A portion of the brickwork on
the new building being erected for
the Hyme Company, at the south
west corner of State and Smith
streets, has reached the ground
level. A slight delay was caused
when Building Inspector Michael J.
Mcnamara rejected a stretch OF
concrete foundation. The material
was mixed and put in a trench after
5 O'Clock one afternoon and upon
an inspection made later by the
building inspector, it was found to
have set improperly. The official
found 1t was not hard enough, evil
IDENTIFY caused by mixing the mate
rails too dry. The material was or
dered removed and the contractors
said it would not be used again, but
removed from the premises.
The excavating work has practi-
cally been completed for the big
building and it seems only a ques-
ton of a few days when the first
floor beams will be in place, and af-
ter that the construction work will
go ahead at a rapid rate, it is pre-
dicted. Peter McKeon, of the firm
OF Graham & McKeon, which is do
ing the e~xcavating, said today that
his work would be completed in
about three days.

FREDDIE GOES
TO PROCTOR'S

Say, you know the trouble with
being a reporter is how to begin
your article. I have to sit and think
the longest time, but once I get
started, well, / can get on fine. I
wonder if all reporters have this
trouble. I guess III ask some.
Anyhow the show at Proctor's is
pretty good. They've got a man
there that bills himself as Rafael
giving Ventriloquistical Spectacular
Surprises'-wouldn't that jar you?
Well, let me tell you, he has got
some act. He came down in the au-
dience while he was singing and
you couldn't see a muscle move in
his face. Don't you call that classy?
He uses a lot of mechanical figures,
too-and what gets me, he uses
some real chickens and they sit on
the gate post during the whole act.
Now what I'd like to know is, what
keeps them on there?
The Curtis Trio, two men and a
girl, is pretty fair. The girl is rath-
er pretty, sings a song called Land
of Harmony" and one of the fell
lows sits in the box and joins in
the other fellow rattles the piano
keys and is some RATHER.
The Nautical Trio is a sure fire hit
and funny-welI, does a fish
swim? It's the best all round com
edy sketch that's been at Procjor's
for a long time, and let me tell you,
those two people in It, man and wo-
man,-don't know their names
are the real stuff-in other words,
they know how to act. The sketch
is about a girl, or rather a widow.
sailing fo' Europe and the scene is
in one of the state rooms. She gets
seasick, sends for a doctor, and at
the same time a fellow mistakes her
room for his, and before he can get
out she sees him, thinks he's the
doctor, and he pretends he is. The
only medicine he has is a bottle Of
whiskey, and he gives her some Of
that-well there is some fun, sure
enough. Well, If you want to
laugh, just run up and see this
sketch-that's Freddie's advice, and
maybe you think he don't know.
Guess I've written enough this
trip-frst thing you know the ed
itor will be asking If l don't want

COLORED BOY
is CURIOSITY
Negro With Red Hair Is At
tracing Attention.

For three years there has lived in
this city a little, bow-legged colored
boy with hair of brilliant hue. He
played in the front yard Of his cosy
home at 265 Washington street, un-
heard Of, untalked of, and far from
fame. Today, Frederick Ira Lin
coin holds a prominent place in the
neighborhood over which he may
some day rule, as hundreds have
tramped to that section of the city
for n glimpse of a negro boy with
red hair.
Proud Son of Proud Father.
Freddie is the proud son of a
proud father, Charles Abram Lin
coin, called ABE" by his many
friends in remembrance of the great
President who set the colored man
free. But back to the little auburn
haired laddie. Freddie came into
this world on July IS, three years
ago, and was the fifth child to bless
the Lincoln home. Another, a little
girl, has now sUpplanted Freddie as
the baby of the family" but the
little youngster continues to thrive
regardless of the fact his nose has
been broken so to speak.
When an EVENING NEWS re-
porter called at the Lincoln home
yesterday, he found a large part of
the family building air and sand
castles in the front yard. Freddie
played an important part in the pro
ceedings and showed more ability in
this work than older ~playmates. The
youngsters big black eyes watched
the reporter continually, not be
cause he wouldn't trust the scribe.
Oh, no! But, as his mother after
wards affirmed, the frey topped boy
is very sensitive and bashful.
DIR. Ramsay Gives Tip.
DR.. William E. Ramsay, who in
formed the reporter of the oddity
in this city's midst. said he Is the
most perfect specimen he has ever
seen. To be sure, he added, he has
only seen one other red-beaded ne
but the little youngster on
Washington street, rears head and
above the other case As
semblyman Ramsay mentioned. In
fact, DR.. Ramsay is taking a great
interest in little Freddie Lincoln, |
and on several occasions has made
personally conducted tours with
out-of-town guests, proudly display
his protege.
Explanation Is Given.
Mrs. Lincoln explained the I'M
usual occurrence colored boy
With red hair. The lads father has
IN aunt in Bermuda with hair of
hue, and a like instance
lolds good on the mothers side of
family. Mrs. Lincoln believes
has inherited the pecrIiar
of his great aunts. The moth
r was born in Bermuda, of Indian
%escent, where red haired colored
eople r very common. Mr.. Lin
DIN is American born.
No advance agents of theatrical
roupes have visited the Lincoln
ONE, but such a course is highly
robable. and, to make sure of see
1g this oddly, you had better visit
'reddie today. The address is 265

SWAYzE FINDS
HUDSON FRAUD
Supreme Court Justice Claims
Graft in County lob.

Jersey City, n. J., Aug. 8.-Justice
Swayze of the supreme court here has
given an opinion in which he asserts
the disclosures in the investigation of
the building committee of the new
Hudson county courthouse and power
house prove there was fraud in the
purchase of the power house site.
The site was sold to the county for
$4,000, although it originally cost only
$4,000. The Justice says he believes
members of the building committee
We're parties to the fraud. The justice
also says the $4,000 used in the first
purchase of the property probably was
advanced to William Maxon, the orig
inal purchaser, by Egan, county col
lector. That, Swayze indicates, made
the county the owner Of the site from
the moment Maxon bought it.
The justice asserts Egan used the
funds of the county temporarily in
lending various amounts to the mem
bers of the building committee.
Hugh Roberts, architect of the build
ing committee, however, is found limo
cent of any participation in the alleged
fraud, The justice says he cannot find
Roberts received money or any valu-
able thing from the contractors.
The opinion says it was wrong for
the committee to adopt plans for a sep
arate hall of records and to order for
Roberts, architect, a payment on the
bill of Gill, a contractor, when it was
known the metal furniture contract
had not been fulfilled. In ordering fur
niture the county clerk and the surro-
gate and committeeman "were extrav-
agant, if not lavish" says the justice.
