TRAIN KILLS BOY IN SIGHT OF HIS
MOTHER

Gaten Fratano, 10 years old, of 1902
North Tenshh street, Philadelphia,
jumped aboard the excursion train re-
turning to Philadelphia at the Andrew
avenue station last Monday, in an en-
deavor to secure a seat for his mother,
father and sister. The crowd forced
him back and a sudden lurch of the
train threw him between the cars and
in plain sight of his mother and sister,
who were powerless to save him. Six
wheels of the second coach passed
over his body, killing him instantly.
The wheels passed across his chest
from the left side below the ribs to
the head from the body. Coroner In
gersoll was summoned Immediately
and took charge of the body. A cOron-
er's jury was impaneled in City Hall
ON August I'd, and found a verdict of
death by accident" The jury con-
sisted of E. Laurence Chalmers. fore
man, Frank Barker, Harold Smith,
Willard Campbell, William E. Forcum
and Oakford Cobb. Then next day,
Wednesday, the body was shipped to
Philadelphia for interment in the Holy
Cross Cemetery. The parents of the
unfortunate boy are Frustrated.
Enough excursion trains come down
to take care of the excursionists, but
about 200 more people go back on
them very often than come down, and
the result is that there is often a
scramble for seats, such as the n
that caused the death of this boy. 1t
is remarkable that no mor of these
regrettable accidents have happened.
This terrible example should serve as
a warning to people not to jump on
the train until it stops.

ENGLISH as It Is Spoken.

In a town in Pennsylvania, which
boasts of its Pennsylvania Dutch" ex-

long run a tavern. There was a time
when the tavern was a success imam
cially. but national prohibition reduced
the profits. Recently an old-time
neiehbor visited the old home town
and. after greeting his friend at the
tavern said, "WeI, Sam, how is bust

WOMAN WANTED IN RICHMOND
CAUGHT IN WILDWOOD

At four o'clock ON Wednesday of
last week Captain Crawford received
a request, accompanied by a descrip-
ton, to hold Helen Hilton, colored,
wanted for abortion and felony in
Richmond, Va. At six o'clock of the
same day the woman was in the Wild
wood lookup, and the Richmond au-
thorities notified. Saturday, Norman
Smith, a headquarters detective from
Richmond, arrived and took charge of
the prisoner. Though she is a small
woman, it took the combined efforts
of Captain Crawford and the Rich
mond detective to get her on the train.
It seems that an officer connected
with the Richmond police had hired
her to perform an illegal operation
upon his fifteen year old sister-in-law,
which she did. She has a criminal
record, and is known as a pretty hard
boiled character. At the time of her
last offense she was out on parole I'M
der a three years sentence for killing
her first husband. A large scar on her
face helped to identify her. She would
not divulge how she came by the scar,
but it is believed to have been gotten
in an old-fashioned colored. azo
party.

RAIN DAMAGES BALL PARK

The miniature flood on Tuesday,
continued in a lesser degree on We'd

He'll, president and businesshmanager,
respectively, of the Wildwood Baseball
Club considerable grief. The entire
outield of the Beach Ball Park was
covered with water a foot deep in
some places The fence toward the
ocean was washed down by the high
tide which accompanied the deluge-
This resulted in the cancellation of
Tuesdays game with Camden City and
also Wednesdays conflict. The man
agement hopes to have the park in
good shape, however, for today's en-

IN THE CHURCHES
First Baptist Church

There will be a special soloist at the
Sunday evening service.
The third Sunday in August is An
niversary Day at the Baptist Church.
1t is also known as Dollar Sunday,
because each member of the congre-
cation puts a dollar on the plate to
commemorate the anniversary of the
church.
The Rev. Mr.. Bidlack, pastor of the
Methodist Church in Loekhaven, Pa,
preached at the evening service last
Sunday. 1t is a curious coincidence
that both Mr.. Bidlack and Mr.. Fisher
were companion pastors in the first
church that each of them had in the
same town at the same time, 20 years
ago. Mr.. Fisher was the Baptist min
lister and Mr.. Bidlack the, Methodist
in Laporte, Pa, at that time. They
hadn't seen each other since. Mr.. Bid
lack happened to drop into the even
ing service and recognized Mr.. Fisher
and made himself known. Mr.. Fisher
Immediately asked him to preach,
which he did. Mr.. Bidlack is vacation
ing at the Royal Inn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Collins and
son, Of Millville ARE spending a few
weeks at the home of Mr.. Fisher. Mrs.
Fisher left for MillvilIe Monday on a
pleasure trip and will return on Fri
day. She is visiting her brother.

NOT REALLY DUMB" ANIMEL
What is Called Instinct In Horse cIose-
ly Akin to intelligence In the
Human Race.

AS proof of the rare intelligence of
a horse, l wish to relate an incident
which occurred during the last winter,
and which, l am sure, made a lasting
impression upon the minds of every
passerby who witnessed it.
The day was an extremely cold one,
and the streets of the city were COW
cred with thick layers of Ice. One
street in particular presented a very
dangerous appearance. The children
were continually drawing their sleds
back and forth upon its icy surface.
and 1t was as smooth and polished as
a mirror.
1t was late in the afternoon when
a horse, drawing a coal cart, which
was piled high with coal, started to
make his way down the slippery sur-
face of the street. He was making
driver climbed down from his seat and
tried to aid him. In order to do this
the driver had to grasp the rein and
walk almost In front Of him, coaxing
and encouraging him to go a little
further. They had almost reached
the foot of the slippery incline wheE
the drivers foot slipped, and he fell
to the ground; rolling almost in front
Of the horse. The horse raised a front
foot, ready to make another start
down the street. The pedestrians,
myself included, watched with abated
breath, too much frightened to shout
to the horse, and all fearing the worst.
The horses foot was lowered until
1t touched the limb of the driver. AS
the hoof touched the bags which were
bound around the drivers limb the
horse gazed at the man in a curious
manne as though he knew that some
thing had gone wrong. He immedi-
ately raised his foot from the limb Of
the fallen man and carefully stepped
Over to avoid any injury.
By this time several Of the pedes-
TRANS had regained their breath and
some one called to the driver to roll
out of the way Of the horse, which he
did very quickly. When he managed
to rise from the ground he made his
way to the horse and was patting
and petting him when I started on my
way homeward.
Now, If this horse had been as
dumb as some persons think him,
would he have been intelligent enough
to a from injury the Woodworking
colored driver7 He sensed the danger
as soon as his hard hoof touched the
soft burlap bags, and he had horse
sense enough to know that he should
tread upon the hard surface OF the
icy street. Could you really call such
an animal dumb?-Bertha N. Tribull
In Our Dumb Animals.

"cost Plus" In Peru.

An Illuminating story is told of. the
present leading hotel in Lima, Peru.
An American who had secured a room
with bath at double the usual rate dis
covered that the water system would
not work. He went down to the desk
and complained. NO." the clerk ad-
mitted. After we put the tub in there,
we found that the city's water press
ure was not sufficient to pump water
to the third floor" THAT'S all right"
protested the American. But you call
II a room with bath, and you charge
me double for the BATH" Certainly
said the clerk. Look at our trouble

SEA GULLS ON JAG

Fully a hundred c~apricious sea gulls
were seen staggering about in mid air
in the vicinity of Hand avenu on
Tuesday evening. The stunts those
gulls performed would have filled
many an aviator with envy. Matter of
fact, one could almost hear an oc-
casional "hic" drifting out of the
zone. The birds appeared momen-
tarily to have lost all sense of direc-
ton. Their peculiar actions would
lead one to believe that they must
have run across a key or two OF
"hootch" in mid-ocean. Anyway, local
fishermen who witnessed the perform
ance ,are not at all averse to keeping
a weather eye peeled when they run
up against a flock of e gulls.

CAPE MAY BOAT BURNED

The pleasure boat, Polly Page"
running between the Crest boat land
ing and Cape May, was badly damaged
by fire last Monday morning when the
fumes from gasoline ignited. Clinton
Johnson, one of the owners OF the
boat, was in the front part packing
goods under the deck with a lantern for
light. Helpers were filling a gasoline
tank in the rear of the boat and it is
said they spilled some gasoline which
fioated to the front of the boat and
the fumes ignited. The fire penned
Jesse Matchner under the rear deck
where he was working and he had to
be released through a hole chopped
in the deck.
The new siren fire alarm of the
Crest was sounded, but all thought it
was only being tested and did not
respond. A phone call to the first
ward house of Wildwood took Driver
Holmes with the chemical to the scene
in quick time, and the blaze was o
under control, but not until two
chemical tanks had been emptied and
a stream of water played for some
time into the boat. The loss was about
$1,000 with no insurance.
The boat is owned by Clayton Harris
and Clinton Johnson. Work was inn
mediaetly begun on rebuilding the
craft and it is expected to have her
running again by next week. Service
on the Cape May line was not inter-
rupted. one of the Anglesea boats was

A celebrated statesman in reviewing the
success of the Allied Arms and the causes
that contributed to it, struck upon a
happy truth when he remarked: 1.-The
War was won on the cricket fields of
Elton and Harrow" In no country is it
truer than in America that the college
men and school boys constituted the
back bone of many a good company.
What was the type of the college man?
He was clean-minded and clear-thinking.
His soul was fearless, his mind alert, and
his body sturdy and strong. EnShrined in
the heart of Eli is the name of Johnny
Overton, the track star, who made the
supreme sacrifice Princeton points with
pride to Johnny Poe, one Of the eleven,
who glorified the teachings and traditions
of Old Nassau. Notre Dame, with the
swelling pride of mother, can boast no
greater hero than Arnold MCInerny of
South Bend who learned the lesson of
