DECEASED LEAVES
 OWN DEATH NOTICE
Sidney OldershaV Prepared
 Record of His Own Life

The death of Sidney Oldershaw, one of the city's pioneer business men, as noted in yesterdays Herald, has called forth many fond remem- brances from those who knew him well during his many years residence
 in this city. Although MT. Older shaw was an Englishman by birth, 1 he was an American by choice and to a few days before his death, at the ripe old age of eighty years, he took an active interest in the timely topics
 of the day, principally those dealing
 with the welfare Of the human race and the United States.
 What may seem like 8 voice from the dead is a short letter found by
 MT. Oldershaws son, Olin I. Older shaw, among his fathers personal ef- fleets a short time after he died In this letter MT. Oldershaw prepared his own obituary notices and it seems of sufficient interest, especially to those who knew him, to reproduce in part as follows:
 The autobogra phy of an individu- alist with the obituary notice included.
 'The writer was born July 23, 1886, in the quiet village o1 Stapleford, County Of Nottingham, England, about half way between NJ and Derby. Tradition says that his an- cestors were of Norman extraction, of humble birth and came from Cas- tie Donington. On his fathers side they were lace manufacturers On his mothers side but little is known except that his grandpa was a stock ing hose kritter cn d hand loom and kept an apiary
 Born July 23, 1896. Migrated April 6, 1S4S. Was shipwrecked on the vessel Ivanhoe and was six weeks on the water. Settled In Mansfield, Ct, moved to W from thence to N. B. in 1851.
 Education limited to the primary public schools of his native place re- quiring the attendance at the Church of England and studying the ritual which was compulsory.
 Attended school about three terms in N. B. under Profs. Camp, Stone and Guion, in the intermediate school"
 The remainder of MT Oldershaw's own obituary deals with his various activities durng his long span of life. According to the story from his own pen he at various times worked as ! cotton buffer, as 0 mechanic. as 8 stock breeder and trader of horses as @ dog and cattle trainer and also IS a chicken fancier," and last but rot least public servant--a store Old MT. Oldershaw's clos ng paragraph of his life states He s now becoming acquainted with the pest masters of literature and sci ,nce"

the fog and sleet and unfamiliar sur rOundings that it was being treated rather roughly, and so the grin gave way to howl which surpassed the fury of the surf and which did not stop until it saw it's mothers fearful face smiling above it in the Persist ance. In this one inquisitive look around there was doubtless erected in the child's mind, one of those i'm perishable memories that we all have, imperishable none the less, because they may have been associated WEh the dropping of small cats out of fourth story windows and with at tendant and neighborly difficulties.
 In the lowering of the women and children, American humanity showed itself somewhat defective, not so much so as it is in some places, at present, but only in so far as it was color blind, on this foggy morning off the Jersey coast. When the efficiency experts give us their analysis of tears. they may find the various shades of grief, but none that go to make the r difference in race.
 The women and children were talk en through the surf to Barnegat. and to New York by railroad to Pier 12, where the men eventually arrived amidst confusion and newspapermen, off the Revenue Cutter Mohawk, at nine o'clock Tuesday night.
 | On the trip up and while entering the Windward Passage we were hailed or rather signaled by the British freighter Celia" During the half hour it required to maneuver her alongside it was seen that she was equipped with wireless. Her be- ing so equipped and maneuvering to | mega phone gave rise to all sorts of conjectures abroad, tho limit of which, was a secret notification of a declaration of war by a present bel lgerent and the possibility of her be- ing a fugitive "---' raider. She megap phoned, Lost wireless operator overheard one day out of New York. Have been out of com munication for four days. Report to New York for arrangement for oper- ator, at the Canal, destination Syd- ney."
 These conjectures, are a fair sam pie of the hysterical invention we see and hear so much of nowadays. A large proportion of which is calculat- ed to cause us Americans to lean with our power and wealth toward the promised and anOinted hand where the self appointed and self applaud ed, humanity and International Law hold forthwith printers ink They do not face their self imposed task like the nocturnal men who prowl about the Jersey coast, so ably eX- citing their non-newspaper variety of American humanity. Is it not coin cidental that one of our greatest hu- manitarians comes not far from where old Barnegat Light still shines across the waters to the ships that do and do not pass in the night?

ABOARD THE SUMNER ON BARNEGAT LEDGE
Robert E. Kuper of This City
 Writes Graphic Description

Robert F. Kuper Of this city, ser geant on general service in the United States regular army, was aboard the army transport Sumner that went aground Tuesday night off Barnegat N. J. Sergeant Kuper has written the following interesting description of the events following the stranding of the vessel for the Herald:
 While on detached service I had occasion to be aboard the United States Army transport Sumner when she went aground off Barnegatt Light House, Monday night.
 There were thirty women and chil- dren aboard amongst whom were the families, including four children of two negro petty officers on furlough off the cruiser Charleston, at Colon, also one hundred and ninety casual soldiers, some discharged through ex- ! piration of enlistment period, some furloughed to army reserve, and some on furlough from the canal zone, to the States.
 We struck at eleven o'clock, going 1 about two lengths in the sand, which brought the transport to an easy 1 stop. An effort was then made to | back off with her own propellor but 1 without success. At midnight there i came out of the fog and sleet and l the roar of the breakers a half mile 1 to port, the hail, Standby with a
 line" It was the Rarnegat coast
 guard, saddled and girdled with cork,
 and fifteen strong, in their powerful ] motor boat "Persistance" As there
 was an off-shore wind and sea they
 stood by during the night
 At eight o'clock the transport had 1 taken a decided list to starboard and
 tho lowering of her boats began.
 The women and children were then
 taken over the side. A rope was fas-
 tened to each Woman's waist as she
 started down the ladder. As each
 arrived at the lowest rung which
 was dangerous jumping distance to
 the Persistence, they would receive
 the command from below, Let go.'
 This order meant exactly that and
 nothing else, and so many a flutter-
 Ing feminine heart took the leap into
 the sturdy arms of these NOrsemen of 1 the Jersey coast.
 A mess kit cleaning boiler, the size
 of clothes basket was then got in
 readiness for the children, all under 1 three years of age. As the first l about two years of age, was started l over the side, well smOthered in l blankets, so that she would not be- l come two inquisitve about her des- 1 tination, there was many a f1irt and 1 futter of masculine hearts from l above to join those below.
 The second, a girl of two, the pret-
 tiest aboard with blonde hair and 1 blue eyes and an optimistic grin as ] old as itself, was then started over. 1 At half way down, the bottom of the i boiler came in contact with one of 1 those unexplainable things, about six 1 inches long, and with hole in it, l which stick out from all ships.
 There was a struggle within the l boiler, as it took a dangerous tilt, but 1 nothing came forth from out the 1 depth of blankets, but smiling face | and a pair of blue eyes to see in l what manner their posseSsof was. be- 1 ing manhandled. It did see admidst

Men who know tobacco chew Penn's Thick for the genuine en- ioyment it gives them. One of these is Geo. Nixon, popular retail tobacconist of Fl Centro, Cal, and what he says is worth reading. Here it is:
 I have used different tobaccos for years, but one year ago I tried PENN'S THICK Chewing To- bacco and have been using it ever since. I have recommended the brand to several of my friends, and can truthfully say that all of them are using PENN'S THICK Chewing Tobacco. I consider PENN'S THICK the greatest quality plug on the market"
 Penn's Thick is made of the choicest White Burly grown the tastiest, me11owest leaf for chewing.
 A trial of Penn's Thick will open your eyes to real chewing enjoyment. The guarantee pro. tects you. Penn's Thick must en- tirely satisfy you, or your money back. Your dealer has Penn's Thick in 10c cuts-try 1t to-day.

Other business was attend ed to and at the close, the president presented Miss Eleanor Lynch, a Presbyterian missionary to China who has been visiting in Morenci for sev- eral weeks. Miss Lynch has lived in China more than six years and has mastered the Chinese language during her stay. Her talk to the ladies was a most interesting one, and covered many things of interest in Chinese life outside of her descriptions of the great missionary work being done in that land of celestials. Miss Lynch also displayed many gifts and souv- enirs given her by Chinese friends during her stay. At the conclusion of the meeting the ladies enjoyed a most pleasant social time and many congratulations extended their guest on her delightful and instructive talk.
