An old woman who seemed to be lost
attracted attention Friday evening in
the Pennsylvania Railroad waiting
room in Jersey City. Her clothing was
very tidy and she wore an old-fashioned
poke bonnet and spectacles. Policeman
Boyle spoke to her. She said she was
Mrs. Polly Boseler of Gettysburg, Pa.,
and that she was 85 years old. She
lived there with her son-in-law, but he
died two weeks ago and she was obliged
to seek another home. She was on her
way to South Norwalk, where she has
some relatives, but her money gave out
when she reached Jersey City. Mrs.
Bossier said that she was an echitness
of the battle of Gettysburg, and she
Winted to tell the policeman all about
it, but he had no time to listen. She
was provided with food and money to
pay her fare to South Norwalk and ‘she
resumed her journey to this city.

James McArdell, John Bolan and an
Italian were driving Thomas Glynn’s
team down Main street, Saturday morn-
ing when a portion of the harness broke.
and the horse started into a run. As
the animal increased his speed all three
men jumped out and were considerably
hurt by so doing, especially the Italian,
who was badly cut and bruised about
the head and shoulders. The fright-
ened horse finally collided with Mr. Os-
born’s team, which was standing on
Main street, and both wagons were bad-
ly wrecked, that of Mr. Osborn being
completely demolished. Freeing itself
from the vehicle, the horse ran over
to the old car barn and stopped. Be-
fore Mr. Glynn purchased the animal it
was used on the old horse cars, and it
has not forgotten the fact.

The funeral of James Morris Allen
who died on Friday wlll occur from his
late residence this afternoon, and the
burial will be in the ancient cemetery
at Greens Farms,‘ where lie his ances-
ters for many generations. He was
about 50 years of age and leaves a wife,
and married daughter, Mrs. Landon K.
Allen. He was a son of the late Harry
Allen, known for a generation as a ship
rigger. The deceased was his yOungest
son and early took to the water. He.
was a capital pilot and a few years ago
had command of a schooner. Of late
he had given attention to oyster grow-
ing and shipped . of his own ‘stock
more, so-called “mill ponds” than any
other citizen. He won the favor of
Eugene G. Blackford of Fulton Market,
New York by reason of the fine quality
of the oysters he furnished that famous
dealer, and it was through deceased
that “Mill pond” oysters gained the
reputation which they now maintain all
over the country, especially In the large
cities. ' 4

'TI-iE MOONSHINER’S LIFE.

He Is Vastly 'Diflerent‘from. the Man;

-. ‘Plcturfed fi‘i‘i‘Névjels. 1'2: ,
' He is neithef afbanditnor ahighyyay-
man, a. disturberrof the peace, nor‘in re-
spect to'formularies other'than the rev-
Least of
all, perhaps, is he a desperado. Within
a‘ month _of theprcsent writing, a. trav-
eler of one of the Tennessee rsilways
entered the smoking car of the train.
In the rear seat sat an officer in charge

of a “covey” of moonshine-rs, flushed . -

by him on the mountain the night be-
fore. There were 12 in the party. They

had yielded without resistance to one,

man, and, most singular circumstance
of all in the south, the deputy had not

found it necessary to put them in irons,
At their trial the members of this

party will doubtless plead guilty to a'
man, though a. little hard swearing

would probably clear half of them; they -
will beg for mercy or for light sens ;
fences, and those of them who promise '

amendment will most likely never be
again brought in- on the same charge,
for the mountaineer is prone to keep
his promise.

A venerable judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered by a. generous ad-
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have made
his name a word to conjure with among
the dwellers in the: waste places, tells
a. story which emphasizes the promise-
keeping trait in the mountain charac-
ter. A hardened sinner of the stills,
Whose first and second offense were al-
ready recorded against him, was once
again brought to book by the vigilance
of the revenue men. As an old offender,
who had neither promised nor repented,
it'was likely to go hard with him, and
he begged not for libert-y,‘but for a
Commutation of his sentence which
would send him to jail instead of the
penitentiary, promising that so long as
the judge remained upon the bench
he would neither make nor meddle with
illicit Whisky.

He won his case and was sent to jail
for a term of 11 months. This was in
the summer, and, six months later,
when the first snows began to powder
the bleak summits of Chilhowee, the
judge received a. letter from the con-
vict. It was a. simple-hearted petition
for a “furlough” of ten days, pathetic
and eloquent in its primitive English
and quaint misspelling. Would the good
judge let him off for just ten days?
Winter was coming on, and his wife
and children were alone in the cabin
on the mountain, with no one to make
provision for their wants.- He would
not overstay the time, and he would
“certain shore” come back.

His petition was granted, and, true
to his word, the mountaineer returned
on the tenth day and gave himself up
to the sheriff. He served the remainder
of his sentence, and, after his release,
kept his pledge to the judge as long as
he remained on the bench. —- Lippin-

ASTRONOMICAL PROBLEM.

Evolution as Applied to the Stars and
the Universe. '

Prof. T. J. J. Sec, of the’astronomicnl
department .of- the University of Chi'é
cugo, is reported to be at work on the
problem of evolution, not simply that
of the earth, but that of stars and uni-
verses. His leading line of thought. on
the subject is directed to the effects of
tidal action in a. gradual alteration of
the orbits of bodies, this being con-
sequent to the investigation of changes
in the distance of the moon from the
earth due to tidal action at- the sur-
face of one or both. Darwin (:1 son of
the author of “The Origin of Species")
has led in this investigation, the results
of which are stated in popular form
by Sir Robert Ball in his “Story of the
Heavens.” ,

It is shown that the formation of
tides on the earth causes the effective
centers of attraction to be some dis-
tance away from the center of the un-
disturbed spheroid, for which reason
the line joining the effective centers
of gTavity in the two bodies forms :1
small angle with the line that other-
wise would be the one along which the
two bodies would tend to fall toward
each other, and the movement is cor-
respondingly different from what it
would be in the undisturbed orbit.
This tidal movement accounts for the
widening out of the distance between
the earth and moon and the lengthen-
ing of the lunar month from a few
hours to about four weeks, and it. is
easy to see that the process is far from
being ended.

Prof. See is applying this line of ren-
soning to some of the double stars, and
proposes to extend it to all of them
it“ results seem to justify it. He has
computed from observed perturbations
the probable existence of a yet unseen
star connected with a “binary” in the
constellation Ophiuchus, but the fact
hardly justifies the assertion that he
has “discovered" it. Perhaps the stran-
ger may be seen through the new
Yerkes telescope when that instrument
is put into active service, and, if so, the
work of the computer will deserve to
rank second ’only to that by which
the existence of the planet Neptune was
made known about 50 years ago—Chi-
cago Tribune.

Not Much to It.

The sweet girl paused before her fa-
ther’s chair, an appearance of inde-
cision amounting almost to dread upon
her face.

- “How do you like it?” she asked, hes-
itatingly.

The old man pushed his spectacles up
onto his forehead and examined her
critically. .

“So this is your new bicycle cos-
tume," he said. “It wasfor thisthat you
begged and begged until you made my
life a. misery. And it was this that cost
me $50. Well! Well! I don‘t see much
to it."—Cliica go Tribune. .

And they are for kidneys only.

How can we prove it ?

Because N nrwalk people say so.

Here is a case in point.

Mrs. White wife of A. C. White the

Mr. White says, “My wife took Doan’s
Kidney Pills.” '

“l‘ook them for backache.”

“Found them just as represented.”

“Is much improved.” ‘

“Dean’s Kidney Pills did the work.”

“Got them at Hale’s drug store.”

Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers; price 50, cents, or mailed by
