DIAMOND PIN
To SERGEANT
tunes MulIigan 25 Years on
Police Force Today.

Police Sergeant James Mulligan,
OF 1877 Washington street, today
completes twenty-five years of con-
tinual service on the police force OF
this ct'~. Despite the fact hat he
is the oldest sergeant, being slight
ly older than Sergeant CIarkson
Durham, who recentlJ celebrated
the SlXty-second anniversary of his
birthday, he declares he is sprightly
and feels as though he could be act
i've for year, to come.
In honor of the occasion and as a
means OF showing Serge8 = Mulligan
the appreciation OF his / low ofie-
ers for services rendered, the Po-
licemen's Mutual Benefit Society
presented him with a handsome dia-
mond scarf pin at their meeting in
police headquarters last night. The
president, Patrolman Hartung. pre-
sented the token in the name of the
organization and in so doing gave a
touching presentation speech. In
the name of the policemen of the
city he wished the sergeant long life,
happiness and prosperity. Sergeant
Mulligan replied and heartily thank
ed the policemen.
The presentation came as y huge
surprise OF Mr.. Mulligan. He was
aware of the meeting of the society
and had intended to be present. At
forwards he recollected that some of
the policemen had taken special
pains to see that he did attend.
Mr.. MulliGan came to this city
from New Brunswick on May 30,
1875. His first position here was
as car bumper on the local division
of the Lehigh Valley railroad. He
rose to a position on the coal docks
and later became a brakeman which
he followed until May /, 1887.
Three days after that he began duty
as a patrolman for the city, having
been appointed as such by former
Mayor Growney. At that time the
force was composed of Chief Albert
Jackson and Patrolmen Patrick J..
Burke and James O'Brien. With
the exception of the chief the force
worked nights only.
In 1892 Mr.. Mulligan was pro-
noted to ~roundsman and in 1899
he became a sergeant. He now
works on the night shift from IL
o'clock at night until 7 o'clock in
the morning.
Mr.. Mulligan says the two proud
est moments of his life were when
he shook hands with Abraham Lin
coin and when he received the dia-
mond sticlIpin as q token from his
fellow officers last night. While he
highly values the pin because of its
cost. he deems ii especially precious
because it was a gift from the police
men of the city, some of whom he
has worked with for many years.

SECRECY SHROUDS SHIP

the Beginning of Construction.

London.-The new battle ship, the
keel of which was recently laid at
Portsmouth dockyards, the first of
the five armored ships of the 1911
1912 programme, will be known as
the secret ship 1t is generally
known that it is to be the largest bat
tie ship built for the British navy,
that it is to have an anti-torpedo
battery of siX-inch instead of four
inch guns, as in older ships, and that
there is to be a grea Improvement
in the compartments to prevent sing
ing in case it is torpedoed.
Beyond this, however, the members
of the admiralty are introducing
changes which are to remain a secret
for the time being at least.
Usually the laying of the first keel
plate is attended with some ceremony
and naval attaches and others are in
vited
on this occasion, however, only
the dockyard officials. Miss Evelyn
Moore, daughter of Admiral Sir Ar
thur Moore, who performed the GER
emony, and a few others were pres
ent. Newspaper men and photo

The ship is to be completed in two

TAKES 65 YEARS TO
MAKE AN OLD MAID
This is the Opinion of Woman Law
yer, Who Disasrees With Chi
cagO Judges Opinion.

st. Louis.-At what age does wo-
man drift into old maidship?
Asked this question more than a
score of women ranging in age from
IA to 40, and then some, became
peevish.
The younger set refused to reply,
undoubtedly in silent defense of old
er sisters, and the older set lost its
temper somewhat, for obvious rea-
sons.
But one was brave enough to
speak. Miss Caroline Thummel, at
torney and school teacher, declared
a woman was not an old maid until
she has passed 65 years. She also
added woman can make herself an
old maid at almost any age.
Justice j. F. Boyer of Chicago sets
the age of entry into the old maid
class at 25 years.
He is off in his judgment" said
Miss Thummel. "Why, no woman
should marry until she is more than
% years old and is sure she has sense,
It takes woman of experience to
pick a tolerably satisfactory man
nowadays, and few women have prac-
teal experience until they are much
beyond % years old.
There can be no age limit placed
as an entrance to old maidship. Ser
iously speaking. I think it wrong to
advise the marriage of the young.
Girls should remain at home as long
as they can and most men are really
in need of a guardian until they arc
well past %. They begin to show
sense at 80, and if they are not mar
ried by so it is again time to call in
the guardian"
