When mcfarland took the stand
he gave his age as 80. He said that
he was born in Tomason, Me, and
hat he was % years old When he
married.
what were the circumstances Of
your MARRIAGE MIR. McDermitt
asked.
ssWhen | was in Rockland I boarded
with the Crockett family, and | be-
came acquainted with the daughter
of the house, and in a short time we
got married.
AT the time of your marriage were
any furniture or household goods
given YOU
81 had a lot of furniture from my
cd home at Tomason. Before my
father died we had a pretty swell
house there, nicely fitted up, and |
had a lot of the furniture left. At
the time of the wedding we got a
lot of silver and other junk like that
about three or four hundred pieces
of silver. Much of it was sterling.
siIverware Only Plated.
But the silver in question (poi nting
TO a small chest of silver among the
evidence on the table), I made a pres
ent of to my wife some time after we
were married. 1t -isn't sterling, only
plated ware. and, perhaps, that is the
reason it has stuck to us through our
wanderings. as it wasn't worth much
to obtain cash."
What schooling did you have?p
Il went to several schools in Maine
and to the high school at Thomason.'
Ibid you ever study chemistry
Yes: we did a few experiments at
The high school. but l was always
dabhling in chemistry since | was a
small kid. A friend of mine was the
son of a man who owned a jeweIr1
shop. and FUSED to go there with him
and see his father use cyanide.
He would put some furnished met
ais in it and take them out bright,
and | got interested and took some
of the stuff home. There 1 used It a
lot to clean articles around the
house: my sister had q lot of chairs
and other ornaments and I cleaned
them all up, and then she went and
got the neighbors' ornaments and
cleaned them up. too. But after a
few days the wonder of It dropped
and I let the stun alone.

KEARNY SCHOOL BOARD
TO CONSIDER INSURANCE.

With a view of getting uniformity
IN the matter of fire insurance. the
Kearny Board of Education will to-
night confer with local agents on the
matter. The insurance Is now placed
through the Kearny men and the
dates of expiration widely differ. II
is suggested that many changes
could be made, thus enabling the
school board to get better rates. Sug-
gestions along these lines were con-,
tained In a report submitted to tina
board by a New York underwater.
The insurance men will meet tonight

CHINESE WOMEN IN PUBLIC
They Will Give Entertainment
for Famine Sufferers.

To raise funds for the famine sufferers OF
China the Chinese women OF New York will
again step into the limelight Of publicity,
from which. through the habit of centuries
they shrink A few months ago they gave
little play at the Young Women's Chris
tian Association for the relief of their suf-
fering compatriots and now they announce
another entertainment for the same cause.
1t will be given on the evening of March
25 at the Chinese Church. in East 31st
street Miss Ying j. Chang. grandniece OF
Ii Hung Chang, who took the lead in the
earlier performance, will be one Of the en-
tertainers on this occasion.
The plans were made last Saturday at a
meeting which was preceded by hot debate
on the question Of woman suffrage. Miss
Mabel Lee, daughter of the Rev. Lee Towe.
Of the Methodist Church for the Chinese. at
No. 49 Mott street, was the principal speak
er in favor of the right Of women to vote.
She outtalked ali at the meeting, and was
declared the winner.
To prove that n woman may do just as
good work as a man. Miss Lee took charge
Of the service at her fathers mission last
Sunday, when he had to be away TO ar
range terms of peace between the Hip
Sings and the On Leong tongs.
Inspired by the stories and pictures Of the
young Chinese women in the recent revolu-
ton, and having seen the good work done
and good time had by their brothers. the
New York Chinese Boy Scouts, some Chi
nese girls are now considering the possibil-
ity Of having a patrol of girl scouts in
Chinatown. Ralph Chant, master Of the
Chinese Boy Scouts, has promised to assist
in the organization.

SPRING HATS EXHIBITED
John Wanamaker's Display
Shows Novelties from Paris.

Many women who have been familiar
with the creations OF the best French mil
liners In the past have believed it impos-
sible for them to do anything more wonder
ful than they had already done Visitors to
the John Wanamaker exhibition of spring
hats this week have been convinced OF the
falseness OF such an opinion. The sim
plicity OF the new headgear makes neces-
sary a perfection OF line which can be
achieved by nothing short of genius. and
when decorations are so few the effect OF
color and detail must be studied more
carefully than ever.
In the French hats shown in the Wana-
maker millinery salon the colors are al
ways remarkable In some way. Either one
is struck by their brilliancy or by the ex-
quisite harmonies brought about by the
blending of rich dark tones. Then. again,
It may be the delicacy of the tints, relieved
by some color contrasting sharply with
them, that appeals to the eye. One hat,
notel in shape because though in front 1t
looks like tricone II has really four
corners. is in the beautiful dark red which
has been named Durbar This is trimmed
with one OF the high cocardes. made OF
shaded flowers or ostrich feathers. which
are seen on so many OF the smartest hats.
An example OF brilliant coloring is a
wide hat which may be described as a real
American Beauty creation. The crown is
draped with satin in this shade, and
American Beauty roses are laid all around
the brim. The new amber and tortoise shell
shades are wonderfully effective. with
touches OF blue in different shades or with
ecru laces.
Ono thing that makes this display OF
French millinery especially interesting TO
the woman I'm search of exclusiveness Is
that models from one Of the most famous
Paris makers are to be found here, and
here only in this country. Not only is this
true. but no copies OF the hats are made in
the shop, and they are carefully guarded
from the gaze Of outsiders who might wish
to reproduce them.
Many chic little English tailored hats also
add to the exhibition. These are especially
charming for young girls, though they are
not 10 be regarded as belonging TO them ex-
clusively. Not far from the French hats
may be seen domestic productions Inspired
by the more costly imported ones
