WALTZES BEFORE GUESTS
ON HER DIST BIRTHDAY.
Elizabeth Kiley Surprises
Friends by Her Agility.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Mrs. Eliza
beth Kiley, who lives with her married
daughter, Mrs. James Campbell, at sos
West 127th street, celebrated the
ninety-first anniversary of her birth
at the Campbell home last night. All
day remembrances had been arriving
from friends. The flowers they sent
were banked around the parlor. After
the birthday supper the young folk
danced for half an hour.
Then the little orchestra, hidden be,
hind a screen of flowers, struck up a
waltz that was popular when Mrs.
Kiley was a girl. As the first strains
Of the air was played Mrs. Kiley's
eyes frightened and her head swayed
from side to side in time to the music.
The guests smilingly matched her.
Presently she rose from her chair ana
went to the centre of the room. Curte-
sying to the little circle she grasped
her skirt with one hand.
The next moment she was swinging
to the rhythm of the music of her girl
hood. AS she moved lightly over the
floor the merrymakers appIauded en-
Enthusiastically, Mrs. Kiley nodded in
acknowledgement, but did not halt her
dancing till the waltz was finished.

AGED RECLUSE WOMAN
A PLENTY OF CASH.
Despite Her Wealth She Went
Out Washing.

1t was learned today that Mrs. Mary
Ems, an aged r~ecluse, who was found
unconscious last night and died in ST.
Barnabas's Hospital, was a very eccen-
trio woman. Although 60 years of age
and plentifully supplied with money,
she persisted in going out to wash and
performing other hard manual labor.
Mrs. Ems had lived at 8 West stree.
for the past twenty-five years. Visitors
seldom came, and it is declared thai
the only relatives are a son at Rock
away, N. j., and a son in Germany.
The husband of the woman died some
fifteen years ago and then her only
other companion was a boarder named
Andrew Ghun. Ghun died three years
ago and at his death left a life interest
for the woman in his property. AT the
death of Mrs. Ems the property re-
Verts to his family. Neighbors who
We're friendly with the aged woman say
that h never spent much money and
there is no fear of her being buried In
p~otter's field. She has several pieces
Of property and money in the bank,
they declare. Mrs. Ems was twice
married. Efforts will be made to To-
cate n son in Rockaway by the po-
lice.

SAYS BABIES CITIZENSHIP
RIGHT SHOULD BE GUARDED,
"Colonize Women Whose Chill
dren Would Be ImbeciIes."

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE legal rights
of babies as citizens were emphasized
yesterday in the address of President
Charles h. Henderson, Of the American
Association for the Prevention of In
FAINT Mortality. at the opening session
of the association here. Among other
things, Prof. Henderson said:
The unlawful and abandoned baby
has a legal right equal to that of a
lawful baby to be registered as a citi-
zen at its birth and to have a continue
Gus legal record thereafter.
Babies must find in the state a pro-
tector when all else fails.
INSURANCE funds, not charity, must
provide for expectant mothers when
the family income is insufficltfient, as
a baby's legal right.
The state must decide by legal
process when girls and women can be
mothers of only feeble-minded or
crippled children. M must confine
them in colonies of celibates at useful
occupations"

MILWAUKEE, Nov. II. mar
begged food at a house in Appleton,
Wis, and the woman of the house had
him arrested.
IL am a brother of the late Ward Nc
Allister," said the mar to the police
magistrate. surely you have heard OF
him. He was the leader of society in
New York"
Hearing this. the woman who had
caused his arrest, said;
"Oh. let him go, judge; you see he
looks refined; he is no ordinary hobo
81 don't care who he is" retorted the
judge, nor who his brother was. I'm
dealing with him, and | sentence him
to ten days imprisonment for va
grancy."
Society people in Appleton became
much agitated when they heard that a

Ward McAllister had one brother, a
distinguished lawyer of San Francisco,
whose practise brought him 500, 600 a
year. Their father, Judge Matthew
Hall McAllister, of the United States

many ahead of me. Even as reacned
for that grip on the decreasing, which
meant the right to squeeze inside, the
door clicked shut before my face, ana
two dull clanks of the gong sealed my
disappointment. l ran wildly along the
train, trying to overtake the relay of
sliding doors and jangling bells. but It
was of no use. hen for an infuriating
minute or two the train stood still,
locked and inviolable, while the sta
ton alarm chartered overhead, and
through the cleaning window l could
see my nan sitting calmly in his place.
AS it creaked out into the darkness,
another express growled In behind me,
and 1 had still presence of mind enough
to slip aboard. My one chance was
that we might overtake that local in a
favorable spot.
Seventy-ninth and Eighty-sixth
streets blurred past without a sign.
Then a little beyond the latter 1 caught
sight of the local, n gradually we
drew alongside. He was still there,
drumming idly or the window-pane
with his white fingers, and looking dis
interestedly straight across at me. j
had a momentary impulse to conceal
my face, until ] remembered that he
had never seen me. SO for a second we
stared at each other, pursuer and pur-
sued the one utterly unconscious of
the other. My train passed forward
with increasing speed, while / count
ed the cars-one-two-three-he was
in the fourth. Either he must come
into Ninety-sixth street or get off at
Ninety-first, and the chances were in
favor of my finding him still in the
train at Ninety-sixth.
1 got out there, crossed over to the
local platform and waited. When the
train came in / was opposite the fourth
car. The centre seat was empty, and
/ sought in vain among the passengers
thronging to the door. Then l hurried
back ahead of the crowd, and from
before the ticket window ran my eyes
again over the platform to make sure.
Well, he had left the train at the last
station; it was a question of seconds.
] was in the street above in less time
than it takes to tell it, and swung my
self recklessly aboard a passing south
bound surface car, but a stream of
trucks and automobiles blocked the
track, n before we passed the next
corner / jumped off and ran. Three
blocks I went at the top of my speed,
my breath growing shorter at every
stride. And then, nearly a block away
to the westward, / caught sight of
the silk hat against the reddening
sky.
1t was an easy matter enough to
overtake the man. He walked along
slowly n rather heavily, glancing
upward at the numbers of the houses;
and presently he paused to verify an
address in a pocketbook. ! might have

q pretext. His name was what l
wanted first; and in my ignorance OF
the circumstances 1t would be safer to
settle one thing at a time. While i
debated with myself, he went up the
steps of a house neal West End avenue.
Since 1t was evidently not his home,
nothing could be lost by a little patient
consideration; SO lighting a cigarette,
OF which by now | felt considerable
need, l strolled to and fro before the
house, While I ~pondered my e move.
Five or ten minutes went by, and |
was on the point of ringing the bell and
asking who 1t was that had just come
in when the electric brougham purred
around the corner, with my friend
Thomas sitting stolidly at the wheel.
At the moment | happened to be near
ly al the other end of the block, and
before | reached the spot where he
b ougham had drawn up my man had
come out of the house, | could hardly
question his servant before his face.
And the next minute he had clambered
in and driven decorously away.
/ ran as far as the corner, looking
about in all directions for a taxicab.
None was in sight, and to follow afoot
for any distance was, of course, i'm
possible. 1 should have to be content
with the number of the brougham n
, such information as inquiries at the
two houses / knew the man to have
visited might yield. Then a boy came
by on a decrepit bicycle, and l caught
at his handles.
LET me take your Wheel" / painted.
He twisted his face into position for
q howl. Nonsense, kid, I'm not going
to steal it. Look at me. Here 1
thrust a bill into his hand. That's
more than your machines worth, and
Ill send it bach to o in an hour.
Where do you live?"
He told me in a dazed sort Of tone,
and l was wavering on my way almost
before he had finished. The wheel ran
abominably hard, and was so much
too low for m that my knees barely
cleared the handle-bars; still, it meant
ali the difference between losing the
brougham altogether and being able
to follow it easily. All the way down
