Joseph conducts a saloon that is kept open as long as there is any money flowing into the till which means that Joseph is up early and late. This state of affairs has been going on for some time so that Joseph is sometimes real tired before the last of his customers have imbibed sufficiently to warrant his going to bed. About midnight Thursday night, Joseph was behind the bar as usual and a number ofgood spenders lined up in front until late at night. One by one they departed but three of the patrons still remained telling their troubles to one another. Officers Connell and Linnen were passing some time later and seeing a light burning at such a late hour thought that something might be amiss and accordingly went to investigate.

On entering they saw one man helping himself to the contents of the cash register while another was packing up some whiskey bottles for further use. The officers seized them both but one succeeded in getting away. The one captured gave his name as Joseph Maloskey. When the captured man had. been securely handcuffed the officers awakened Joseph who slept through all the trouble and did not hear the merry tinkle of the bell of the cash register.

LONG WALK FOR AGED MAN. A journey on foot of one thousand three hundred miles was completed when Stephen Story, aged seventy four, trudged into the rooms of the Relief society, after being on the road for almost four months, says a St. Paul, dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle. The old man told an interesting story of his long trip. "A year ago," he said, "I left Princeton, where I had been living with my daughter, and went by rail to Chautauqua county, N.

to visit another daughter. Things were not as I expected when I arrived, however, my daughter's husband being poor and scarcely able to provide for his own family. So I left them and went to work on a farm, where I stayed until this fall, but all the time I was homesick and longing to get back to Minnesota. "So' in September I left the farm and with only twenty five dollars In my pockets to buy food I started to 'foot if to Princeton. The first part of the trip was pleasant, but along in November the cold began to bother me and I was forced to go slower.

I got along fairly well until I reached Chi qago, where, while asleep in a lodging house, I was robbed of what little money I had left. From there on I have been forced to beg for something to eat and a place to sleep, but everyone was kind to me and I have not suffered much. "When I reached La Crosse, I lay over for three days at the Jail, where I rested up and ate three square meals a day. The walk from La Crosse to St. Paul was the worst of the whole trip, as the snow was drifted and I could hardly wade through it, but I kept 'hoofing' along, and now I am here and that's all there is to tell, ex cept that I am hungry, as I haven't had anything to eat since morning." Secretary Hutchings gave the aged pedestrian a substantial meal and shelter over night and provided him with a ticket to Princeton.

THE SCR ANTON REPUBLICAN. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1905. ROCKEY GLEII RACES Great Sport was Enjoyed by a Large Crowd at That Popular lie sort Yesterday. ALICE WAS THE VICTOR An innovation was introduced yesterday at Rocky Glen in the form of horse racing on the ice. The meet had been well advertised and a tremendous crowd assembled to see some of the best horses in this section compete for prizes.

The affair was a huge success and so thoroughly appreciated by all that another meet has been arranged for Washington's buthday, when many more horses will compete. The track was laid out from the point of the turn on the lake to the end of the pavilion, aggregating just one third of a mile straightway laid out on a fine portion of the ice, taken well in hand by numerous policemen, who guarded the entire course and kept the crowds pretty well behind the ropes. The first heat was the 2:25 class, purse $100, in which seven horses were entered. Aline the fast little mare of Rob Lee, won all three heats in a walk. At no time was there any probability of another horse taking the honors from this lucky little mare.

May Coburn, Al Turner's mare, took second place in all heats, taking second money. Moxie, Frank Scutt's horse, run fourth in the first trial heat, second in the second trial and final, winning third money. Glftmont, George Mulley's horse, took fourth money. The free for all, purse $100, was taken by Callie Dr. Snyder's mare, which won ail three heats.

Tinker, Dr. Haggerty's horse, took second prize; Allen property of Levi Patterson, took third prize, and Chimes, the property of Dr. Hill, took fourth money. It took five heats to decide the 2:40 class, in which ten horses had been entered and two scratched. Town Di rectly, the Carbondale horse, won first money, coming in first in three heats.

Russel Dunn, the property of George Dunn, took second money; Vel ma, George Lewis' horse, took third money, and Pop the property of Liveryman Belles, took fourth money. A. D. Simrell, Edward Jermyn and George Stevenson acted as judges; Elwood Smith, starter, and A. J.

Schnell. time keeper. While running the fourth heat of the 2:40 class one of the reins of Town Directly, driven by Patterson, broke, causing the horse to pull for the side. Mr. Patterson showed remarkable self control and succeeded in bringing the horse to a stop in a few minutes, although Henry Clarke, colored, and Martin Cummings were hit by the horse in his plunging.

Clarke was hit on the side of the head and thrown to the ground, bleeding from the forehead, but was not seriously hurt. Cunningham, In trying to get out of the way, was struck on the forehead. Just previous to the final heat in the 2:40 c'hss, Silver Chimes and Nellie McCory, the two fastest horses on the ice, trotted a trial heat. The horses came into the stretch neck to neck, giving one of the finest exhibitions of horse racing seen in this section in years. Bit by bit Nellie McCory edged her way ahead until she passed the pole a full threee lengths ahead of Chimes.

The heat was run in forty five seconds flat, the fastest time of the afternoon. Nellie McCory was in the pink of condition yesterday and would have given a great race had she been allowed to run In the free for all. In all probabilities she will enter the free for all next Wednesday. The meet was a huge success from every standpoint and many voiced the sentiment that such meets should have been started earlier in the season, when a card for the whole winter could have been drawn up. Aline the winner of the 2:25 class, is one of the finest mares seen in this part of the state, and should she receive the proper care and attention she will make some of the fastest in the section look well to their laurels.

Next Wednesday, Washington's birthday, the management of Rocky Glen offer a big list of prizes and a list of races that will surely the best ever witnessed. In all four hundred dollars are offered as prizes, to be divided as follows: $100 cash purse to the 2:40 class. $100 cash purse to the 2:24 class, $100 cash purse free for all, $50 farmers' class, and $50 running race. Ice racing is a new sport for this region and the first time thnt any running races will be seen here on the Ice ought to draw a tremendous crowd. Races start promptly at 2 o'clock.

United Mine Workers of America, returned from Hurrisburg yesterday and Immediately issued a call for a meeting of the executive board for today at 11 o'clock In the district quarters on Spruce street. Mr. Nlcholls has been asked by President John Mitchell to have all preparations made for the meetings which he will hold during hie visit to this region, so that everything will be In readiness for him when he arrives.

"Children's questions," he said, "are always curious, always Interesting. 1 have no sympathy with those who consider them a bore. Indeed, I have more than once seen the Ingenious and simple question of a child electrify a whole roomful of languid people as a cannon shot would do, "Such a question I once heard asked In a crowded parlor by a little boy of seven years a charming little fellow In a blue velvet suit. he piped.

THE LAST CALL FOR MR. PIPP'S EDUCATION The Justly Famous Gibson Girls Will Be Seen at the Lyceum This Afternoon and Evening. Digby Bell will come to town today as "Mr. Pipp" and will present at the Lyceum theater this afternoon and evening "The Education of Mr. Pipp." Big houses are assured, as nearly all of the seats have been taken.

There are a few left for the orchestra for both performances. In' selecting the company which will produce this successful comedy the managers found it impossible to secure more than three or four well known players who could fill Charles Dana Gibson's rigid requirement; that the people who were to represent i his characters must look like original drawings. This Is why there are a few comparatively unknown actors who will be brought before the limelight of the theatrical world for the first time. The full cast follows; J. Wesley Pipp, Digby Bell.

Madame of the Paris hotel, Edith French. The Rochester Post Express prints the following criticism of the play, which was produced on Wednesday and Thursday nights. At both performances the houses were crowded. The criticism is: "Human nature is stronger than Gib sonian artificiality. Augustus Thomas and Digby Bell have between them succeeded in making a diverting comedy, light and effervescent, with a champagney actuality and a real story.

Mr. Gibson gave them the excuse and the characters, or, to speak more correctly, he sketched a few suggestive outlines an)l the playwright and comedians have clothed them with flesh and blood. Pipp himself is a real character, a man we all know and like. He Is Mr. Gibson's one creation; but the rest are illusions In black and white, phantoms with Gibson features and a single quality or idiosyncracy for character.

In a way this is well; for Augustus Thomas, feeling himself unembarrassed by any preoccupation on the part of the artist, had a free hand. He could do pretty much what he pleased. So he sent the Plpps to Europe, according to the Gibson prescription, put them into the hands of European fortune hunters and rescued them by an appeal to Anglo Saxon virtue. The only1 parallel to this task so successfully undertaken by Mr. Thomas is that of "Trilby." But in that case Du Maurier wrote a story as well as sketched the characters.

Here Mr. Thomas has only his gallery of lay figures. Truly their stage embodiments are far more human than the pictures would lead you to expect. But that is not Mr. Gibson's fault.

Once the surprise Is over of seeing the wellknown drawings realized by tailor and modiste, with the assistance of a single comedian of brilliant talent and a group of players of lesser light. Mr. Gibson disappears from thought and the play proceeds just like other comedies. "The Education of Mr. Pipp" will have a fair measure of success, but not because It Is a Gibson play.

If the Gibson element were removed all save the really striking figure of Pipp himself the play would be Just as pleasing. Miss Kate Denin Wilson is good as Mrs. Pipp and Miss Murion Draughn and Miss Janet Beecher have Gibson profiles and profile Is about all a Gibson girl ever does possess. But the Gibson young men seem to have played the giraffe in a zoo In another life. One or two of them never had any previous Incarnation as actors, that Is sure.

W. S. St. Clair is good as the croupier count and Frank Powell is true to life as the English butler. You will admire Digby Hell and Augustus Thomas and forget Charles Dana Gibson." Birth Rate in Prussia.

Stntlaticnl returns issued bv the Prussian ministry of the interior show that there has been, during the last thirty years, a remarkable decrease In the birthrate in all Prussian towns with populations exceeding one hundred thousand. From 1875 to 1880 the nveraitA blrth rnte rer thousand Of the population of Berlin was forty five; from 1881 to 1880, tnirty eigni; rrom 1SR to 1900. thirty four: from 1891 to 1895, thirty one; and from 1896 to 1900, twenty eight. The birth rate at Breslau decreased from forty three In 1D7S to thlrtv alu in 1900. and at Kre feld from forty six to thirty during the same period.

There has been a similar diminution In the birth rate of nineteen other Pruslsan towns, while no Increase of the birth rate In any Pnmlann town Is recorded. It Is note worthy, however, that, while the birth rate has decreased, the marriage rote In all the Prussian towns Is still as high as It was thirty years ago, and In some rases in higher than at any time since 1875.

DEFENDS ADMINISTRATION The South Side gave Edward Eisele, who on Tuesday next will be elected city controller, a rousing reception In two different places last night and thua endorsed Mr. Elsele's candidacy. In Athletic hall, where the South Side Republican club held their rally, there were fully two hundred and fifty Republican voters present who enthusiastically received the speakers and they were applauded with much enthusiasm. President. George Nape presided.

Mayor A. T. Connell was the first speaker and he ably defended his administration which has been so attacked In a childish manner by the evening Democratic journal. Said the mayor: "I opened every book in the city hall to the inspection of any accountant and I offered to pick out two of the best Democrats in the city and let them choose the best accountant in the state and if that accountant discovered that I had misappropriated two cents, I would resign In disgrace. "They my offer and are most thoroughly auditing the accounts In the department of public works and when they are ready to report I am positive that they will find nothing wrong.

What did the board of control do when the Taxpayers' association wanted to audit their accounts? They said and then went ahead and used over a thousand dollars of the taxpayers' money making an audit which is a farce and of which there are over a thousand copies in the school boards' rooms which nobody wants." The mayor Is a favorite on the South Side and every time he appears there he is given a rousing reception. The reception which he received last night was no exception to the rule. Attorney W. S. Diehl, chairman of the city committee, was the next speaker and dwelt thoroughly on the campaign issues.

"They say Mr. Eisele is honest," said Mr. Diehl, "in one line and then come out in another and say that he will be governed by the city hall gang and if he is governed by any man he won't be honest. When you vote on Tuesday vote for Mr. Eisele and In that way down that Fourteenth ward gang who compose all that is left of the Democracy in this city.

"Don't be afraid of Mr. Eisele's honesty. He is now in a position to take all the. money he wants, but if you audit his accounts in the city treasurer's office you will find every penny accounted for. They say that he didn't stop payment on the fraudulent orders which recently have been discovered.

He had no right to stop them for they bore the signature of City Controller P. AV. Costello, who now is a candidate for reelection. The controller is supposed to know that all orders which he countersigns are legitimate. Edward Eisele had no right to stop a payment on any of them.

W. Costello has held up orders of several of the firemen who were justly entitled to two dollars a day and gives as his reason that they are otily entitled to one dollar and sixty six cents. For ten months he countersigned orders which gave the right of the substitute to receive two dollars, but in December he claims that they are only entitled to one dollar and sixty six cents. Is that the kind of an official to have In the city controller's office? Put Edward Eisele there and then every man who is entitled to two dollars a day will receive that amount and every man who is entitled to one dollar and sixty six cents will receive that amount and not one cent more. You will never regret the vote you gave Mr.

Eisele when he assumes his office after April 1." Former Mayor John H. Fellows followed Mr. Diehl and said: "Mr. Eisele Is fully qualified to fill the office which he seeks, and if he is put there, and I have no doubt but that he will be, he will be another J. George Eisele and you all know what that means.

If you don't, I will tell you. That office with Edward Eisele as city controller, will be run In a business like manner and that means a great deal." Edward Eisele said: "I take quite a delight in reading the editorials in the Times about being honest and In another place about being dishonest. I Just wish that the man who is responsible for such editorials will ask those of my employers who are alive, how honest I have been and then perhaps he would know better. But those things are not hurting me, in fact I believe that they are doing me good. Don't be afraid of me being dishonest, but get out the vote on Tuesday and then put me In a position to display my honesty.

17. According to a letter from John Glnder, street commissioner, a shark attacked him while he was bathing in the surf at Palm Beach, with Walter Phares and F. P. Holz, also of this city. Hols and Phares, being expert swimmers, made for the shore, but the shark made for Ginder.

Seeing he could not escape he dived and seized the shark by the jaw. Being a Hercules in strength he broke the jaw of the shark and carried the "man eater" ashore. The jaw has over seventy teeth.
