WEOs 50 he WON'T
LOSE HOUsEKEEPER

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 22.-Rather
than lose his housekeeper, Daniel A.
Kersey, a Chatham county farmer, has
decided to marry her. This much the
bridegroom to-be told court officials
when he applied at the court of ordin-
airy for marriage license early today
The bride-to-be is Miss Clara Ro-
Gen, age SO years, who, Kersey says, is
a good housekeeper, and one that he
does not want to lose. While the clerk
was making out the license Kersey
asked that it be fixed so that it would
be good two weeks from now, as il
might be several days before the cere-
mony takes place. He was told that it
would be good any time he wanted to
Use it, which seemed to satisfy him.
Kersey stated that he was now liv-
irg in Chatham county, but was going
to move to Bryan county in the near
future; that he found it necessary to
engage housekeeper, and that he de-
sired the services of Miss Roden.

 ON THAMES STREET
But He Did Not Give His Name to George Hurst-Had a Masonic Ring.

The identity Of the man who hung himself in the woods of Wauwecus Hill and was found suspended from a tree there Wednesday afternoon remained hidden on Thursday. The body was seen Thursday morning by George Hurst, who keeps a rooming house at 3 Thames street, and he found that it was a man who took a room with him ten days ago. But he knew the man only by the name he gave of John. The last he saw of John, until yester- day morning, was on Monday after noon at 3 o'clock. He told MT. Hurst that he had been in the candy busi-
 ness in Jersey City and that his wife
 died three years ago. He said he had
 relatives in Buffalo. He wore a Ma sonic ring that showed he belonged to
 a blue lodge somewhere. Mir. Hurst thought that the man had been specu- lating and had had hard luck. He ap- peared to be an intelligent man, but he would not tell his name. although he told MT. Hurst that he had been with Farragut on the flagship Hartford ir the Civil war. MT. Hurst thought the stranger was about 65.

ENCOURAGES BOYS TO STEAL.
Judge Colt of New London Strikes Heavy Blow at Junk Dealers Prae- &ioA

Tn the New London police court Thursday morning Judge William B. Colt showed that junk dealers must obey the law, especially in that par ticular which prohibits the buying of junk from minors. when he fined Jacob Cohn, junk dealer, $40 and costs and then added a sentence of 30 days in jail.
 Judge Colt took the opportunity of serving notice that all junk dealers must keep books, showing every tram saction they are a. party to and must report weekly to the captain of po- lice as prescribed by law. Judge Colt requested Prosecuting Attorney Cronin to notify Captain Haven of the po- lice department to see that the dealers follow these instructions.
 Cohn was charged with buying lead from two Italian boys of the Fourth ward, the lead having been stolen from Antonio Caracausa's building on the corner of Shaw street The amount was but eight pounds and the price paid 16 cents, making a very small transaction, but important in the eyes of the court as indicating the willingness of junk dealers to buy stolen property from minors.

 "One thing that encourages boys to steal" said Judge Colt in sentencing Cohn, ''is the case with which they can dispose of their plumber to just such men as Cohn."
