THREEPENNY DAY.
A Curious Old Custom That Is OBJ
served at Eton College.

~ N0TIodS Slo SoStoHI ttot 10 W.
served at Eton College.
On "threepenny day" a new three
penny piece is presented to each Of the
pupils in the famous Elton college in
England. The custom was founded
nearly 400 years ago by Roger Lupton,
who was provost of the college from
1902 to 1886. Lupton arranged with
the fellows for an annual distribution
of money on the anniversary of his
death. The provost received %. 3d.,
the fellows, headmaster and Lupton's
chaplain Is. i'd, the other chaplains
and usher eightpence. the clerks six
pence and the scholars and choristers a
penny each.
The scholars still get this penny In
the threepenny pieces distributed to
them on Feb. q, the other twopence
being from the gift Of Provost Bost,
Lupton's successor as provost. There
was a tradition at Elton, which has
been disproved, but which subsists to
the present day. that half a sheep is
what the colleger is really entitled to
and that the colleges evade their obli-
cation by giving the value of half a
sheep in the middle ages. Some time
in the middle of the last century a
boy named Charles Henry BranWell
on being rendered his threepence' by
Bethel, one of the fellows, said:
"No. thank you, sir, want my half
sheep"

their first day audience, were given
an ovation by the members of the

the concert going public, for, no mat
ter in what part of the world Sousa
and his band have appeared, in large
cities or smaller towns, the same
standing organization with most emf
nent soloists, have been heard.
One never hears of "a" Sousa Band
1t has always been the" Sousa Band
Consequently. when a Sousa concert
is announced, it has been received by
all with confidence in the character
of the entertainment. Sousa's person
ality is unmistakable, and his face
and figure are familiar everywhere. OF
course, as time goes on, nature will
cause grey hairs to appear in spite OF
the fact that Sousa's wonderful ener
gy and grace, with the vim and dash Of
his conducting, continue with unabat
ed vigor. For years Sousa has had {
following unequalled by any Other
man, and when he appears here OF
Sept. 80 at the Gennett he will be re
ceived as an old friend.
The soloists with the band are Miss
Virginia Root, soprano, Miss Nicotine
Zedeler, violiniste, and Herbert L
Clarke, cornetist.

HELEN GOULD WRITES LETTER

SUGGESTS, If SHE HAD MARRIED,
SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN
so USEFUL

Grand Junction. Colo. July 25.-
When the Rev. Elmer V. Huffer. Just
resigned as pastor Of the Christian
church delivered a sermon recently
advocating the exile of old maids to
barren island as waste humanity,
he anticipated local resentment, pos
sibly, but hardly expected to find
himself at issue with Miss Helen
Gould of New oYrk. In letter he
received yesterday Miss Gould de-
clared that many preachers would be
without jobs and without wives and
homes were it not for old maids.
Miss Gould's letter follows:
"Glancing over a Denver paper
notice an item concerning your SER
mon on Love. Courtship and Mar
riage. one part of which especially
notice saying that all old bachelors
and bachelor maids should be isolat-
ed on an island so they could not
hinder the progress of civilization.
do not know why you made this state
ment. but ] feel that 1t is a great in
Justice to the bachelor maids of our
country Theerare, I admit, many
man haters in the world but great
many bachelor maids are not living
alone because they so choose, but be-
cause they have unable to find suit
able companion.
4 must admit that I am speaking
from the standpoint of the bachelor
maid. I feel that such people as my
self are not hindering the progress
of civilization, but advancing it. If
I had found a suitable helpmate 1
might have spent my money in diff
ferent way, and a way which might
not have done as much good as It
has. Please think this question over
and before preaching on this subject
again, make up your mind that there
are is some good in living single
life"
Another portest was received in
letter from Miss e. L. King, of Mon
terey, Calf. It reads:
Il noticed in a paper not long since
that you favored sending old maids and
bachelors to some isolated island, as
they are menace to civilization and
do no good What you forgot to men

women as Helen Gould, Anne Morgan,
myself and various others have done

MURDER CASE HAVE REACH

New York. July 25.-Efforts to dis
cover the identity Of the men who
plotted Gambler" Herman Rosen.
that's death have been baked for the
time being by the failure of the police
to round up the gang to which they
are thought to belong. With the ex'
ception of Harry vallon, not one Of
the gray automobiles passengers
has been arrested since the killing
nine days ago.
The grand jury planned to continue
today its investigation into the gamb
ling charges made by Rosenthal and
probably will recall otto Aversiy Ttias the
chauffeur who drove Police Leuten
ant Becker around town the night Of
the murder. It has been learned thai
Aversi, after his recent testimony be
fore the grand jury, hurried to Becker
and told him all that he testified.
Police Inspectors Hayes and Lahey
and Captain Daily are under subpoe-
ma to appear today. There are no in
dications that Police Lieutenant
Becker has decided to waive immu-
nifty.
District Attorney Whitman today
scored what he believes to be two
important points in the Rosenthal
murder case. The first he counted
when John ]. Reisler, otherwise
known as "John the Barber" previous
to his arraignment on a perjury
charge made an affidavit regarding
Bridge" Webber's connection with
the case. The second, even more
important, came in the announc-
ment that William Shapiro, chauffeur
of the murder car" would turn
states evidence. telling all he knew
about the case, this afternoon. Sha-
piro's statement is expected to do
much toward fixing the responsibility
for Rosenthal's murder.
Reisler's affidavit stated that he
and his wife were near the Hotel Me
tropole on the night of the killing.
.I went over to where Rosenthal's
body was lying and observed
Bridgie Webber running away from
the scene Of the crime" said Reisler.
IT asked man known as Kid Lewis:
What is Bridgie' webber running
away for?. I did not catch Lewis
reply"
Lieutenant Becker who was invited
by the grand jG-y to appear and give
testimony. made his appearance in
the criminal court building and an
nounced he was ready to testify. He
went to the district attorneys office
and there waited with Heutenants
Costogan and Reilly, who also had re-
sponded to invitations to be escorted
by District Attorney Whitman into
the grand Jury room.
