OLD TIME STAGE DRIVERS.


In the days Of the stageeoaeh
the driver Of the stage vas the big
gest man in the place where be hv-
ed, barring none He vas always a
man Of great strength and bravery,
aggressive, resonrceful and veil IN
formed on all topics because Of bis
continual contact with people and
his life in the channels Of eommuni-
cation His services commanded
good pay, and the man whose
daughter could lead the stage driver
into matrimony considered himself
lucky. When married the driver
usually established his home some
where conveniently on his route, so
that he would have a chance TO stop
IN and see his family on each trip,
with an occasional stay for a day or
so at the home

~The wagoners ate at the table
with other guests, travellers, gentle
men, ladies and what NOT. for they
were just as good as anybody else. "
Mr.. Wilson was referring in this
more particularly to the drivers Of
the freight wagons that operated
over the same roads and at the same
time with the passenger stages, but
what was true Of this class Of driy-
ers was true Of the stage drivers as
vel.
The freight was carried IN huge
Conestoga wagons covered with sail
cloth. Each horse carried bells at
taehed TO an iron bow connecting
the names over the withers. and
each driver had his own peculiar
bells, 50 that It vas easily possible
for the people living along the
route TO tel from the sound what
particular drivers outfit was pass
ing.

no driver could pass another who

The same rule applied to those in

MARRIED SHORT TIME.

The young wife is described as tall viva
cious and extremely attractive. Mrs. Harry
Ernst, in this city, said she saw her only
once, when they visited their parents at
North Marshall street. last Christmas. Her
son, Mrs Ernst says, had a jealous dis
position. The couple evidently had not been
happy together. They had been married
only short tlme,- but separated some
months ago.
One Of the pathetic incidents of the trag.
edy is the fact that young Ernst and his
wife, before separation, had adopted a little
girl baby. Mrs. Ernst, In this city, had
welcomed the news by mail last March, A
little later, she said, her daughter.ln-law
had written her that willie was not well
and had been unemployed ior some time.
Only recently, however, Robert Wilson,
plumber of 7th street and Columbia ave-
nue., friend of the Ernst family went to
Pittsburgh with the Stonemen. Wilson said
he met willie" on the street and that he
had walked part of the way with the pa

lier than usual today and went to a nearby
store to purchase newspaper. HI put
it in his pocket strolled back to the touse
and started to read the latest news While
awaiting his wife's call for breakfast The
first thing that caught his eye in the pap II
was the fact that his 24-year.old son, will
liam H. Ernst, ls under arrest In Pitts
burgh, accused of killing his attractive
young wife.
The father hardly could believe his eyes
at first. He almost collapsed and hardly
had recovered from the first shock when
the door bell rang and telegram from
Pittsburgh with details of the tragedy was
handed him. His wife realized at once
that something was wrong She became
hysterical and is now under the care of
neighbors. Her condition is critical.
Can it be true?" she walled pitifully.
Willie did have "A bad temper, and | heard
only recently that he and his wife had been
separated, but l cannot believe that he
would do anything like that. They say
even that he shot her five times while she
was in her mothers arms" This is the
second severe shock Mrs. Ernst has had in
the past few years. her youngest son died
of convulsions in New York on the street
only year or so ago
After the first news of the Pittsburgh
tragedy steady stream of information con-
tlnued to arrive.

Young Ernst was employed as a freight
conductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad
His father works at the Reading coal piers
In this city. While accounts of the shoot
Ing are not definite as yet Mr.. Ernst be-
lleves that his son was driven insane by
the thought that his wife had gone to the
theatre with another man. He bought a
revolver, it is said. and awaited the couple
at the theatre exit, but missed them in
the crowd. He then went to the home of
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emelia Walsh S44
Estella street, Pittsburgh and awaited his
wife there. Young Mrs. Ernst had been
living with her mother since leaving her
husband some months ago
As soon as he saw his wife coming up
the steps, Ernst drew the revolver, one re-
port says, and shot her five times as she
was rushing into her mothers arms He

INSURANCE AGENT MEMORIZED STATISTICS
 IN HIS RATE BOOK

There is hope for the man who simply cannot remember to mail that letter for his wife; likewise for him who never could remember figures, 9 and that other individual whose flor gettery'' is well developed. Here comes a. man who says he can end all the ills of memory and make every one a walking bureau of statistics and general information.
 Henry J. Sutton, an exponent of the BeroI method of memory training, has undertaken what in the minds of most of our readers, will appear to be a gigantic task, namely that of nak- ing the men of Bridgeport remem Der. While yet a student of memory train ing under M. William BeroI the ex- ponent of the system, MT. Sutton was in the insurance business, and gave the method a severe test by memor1z- ing his rate book.
 On Monday night Mr. Sutton wilY give a lecture demonstration in War ner hall, Y. M. c. A., at which he says he hopes to see a lot of people from Missouri The demonstra>- ton is free to all. Men, women and boys over 16 will be admitted It is expected that he will meet there a goodly number of Bridgeport people who are ready to tsbe shown"

RECORD CROWD IS
 EXPECTED AT STAGE
 EMPLOYEES CONCERT

That the Stage Employees will have no cause for getting all puffed up over the fact that they are to have a crowded house at the Plaza next Sum- day night when their second annual grand concert will be staged for the edifcation of Bridgeport's theatre-go- ing public, is realized by the majority of those who are purchasing the tick cts for although the stage employees are doing everything in their power to make it a success the aid given them by the New York booking office in making the concert purely profes- sionaI is invaluable and enough to as- sure any purchaser that the concert is to be out of the usual order of half finished entertainments.
 The proceeds of the concert will ero to the sick fund of the local and there is little doubt but that last years high mark will easily be passed.
 No expense has been spared bv the boys in arranging the program. which will be the most colossal and deligbt- fully varied ever staged in a local tbe- atre. In addition to many novelties a hve-part Bluebird feature, stNa ked Hearts" will be shown.
 Tickets are now on sale at the Plaza box office every afternoon and even ing.
