A BACHELOR A'- 00.
He Lives Alone and Knits His Own
Socks.
Front the Huston Globe.
Enfield, N. H., Dec. 23.—Now Hamp
shire raises a lugger crop oi old pcoplo to
the square mile than any other State in the
Union. Scattered all over its hillsides aro
hundreds of men and women from 80 to 100
years of age. Many of them are as hale
and hearty and rugged as their neighbors of
middle age.
Ope of the mast remarkable old men in
New Hampshire is Thomas Murphy, aged
89, living on what is known as George hill
in this town. To-day 1 drove out eight
miles from the railway station to uis l ouse,
and had an hour’s chat with him. He '.ices
all alone in one of the best farmhouses in
town. There is a large barn, and the other
outbuilding* are of the most substantial
character. When I reached his place he was
in the barn harnessing his horse, which, by
the wav, is 11 years old.
The man himself was a great surprise,
standing about 5 feet 10 inches, he is as
straight as an arrow. Ho has a full head
of dark brown hair, with hardly a tinge of
white. His Galway whiskers are of the
same color, and were neatly brushed. His
eye is of light blue and as bright as a but
ton, his skm soft and clear. He has a full
set of natural teeth, remarkably even and
■white. His voice is full and does not trem
ble in the slightest degree. He never wore
glasses in his life, and can to-day readnews-
E alter print readily. Ho writes a full, round
and. ’ j
“Step into the house,” spid the old man;
“it is warmer there.”
In going from the barn to the house it is
necessary to pass up a flight of a dozen
steps. These this morning were covered
with a thin coating of ice. The old man
went up these stairs without touching the
side rail, and he reached the top several
steps in advance of me. He turned around
and smiled, and said that he probably aver
aged going over the stairs twenty times a
“You know,” said he, “that I live all
soul alone here. There is not even a cat in
the house to keep me company. I do mv
own cooking, washing aud mendiug, and
knit my own socks.”
There was a cheerful fire burning in the
kitchen stove, and 1 took a look around the
room. A cleaner kitchen could not be
found in New England. The stove had evi
dently just been blacked, and it shone like
a junk bottle. The floor was white, and
the walls and windows as clean as soap aud
■water could make them. The table had the
appearance of being set for the noonday
meaL The dishes were clean, and in the
centre of the table was a loaf of brea 1. Mr.
Murphy noticed me looking at it, and he
got up and brought it to me.
“Yes, I made it. Taste it. •’
I did so. It was as white and light as the
driven snow. I praised it and he looked
pleased. All the other rooms of the house
looked as tidy as the kitchen.
“I have 40 acres of laud, and I cany on
the farm all alone, except during haying
time, l hire a boy to help me three or four
•lays. The past season I raised 45 bushels
of potatoes. 18 tons of hay, 15 bushels of
beaus, besides wheat and oats. This fall 1
have vat and hauled to the barn 20 cords of
stove wood. I have done it all alone, too,
except the work I hired in haying I churn
ail iny own butter, and have some to sell.

Charlestown until 1818, when I came up to
New Hampshire, and I have lived in this
State ever since, i worked for a time on
the State House at Concord while it was be

the Canterbury Shakers many years. I
remember very well the ‘cold Friday.’ I
■worked all that day cutting wood tor the
Bhakers. There were two persons frozen
to death in the town, but I didn't call
it any colder than many other
days. After leaving the Shakers I worked
farming in Gilmanton, Loudon, Plainfield,
aud otuer t was of the State, and led a
quiet farmer’s life. 1 came to Enfleld thirty
years ago, aud have iiaid taxes here ever
since, although I have been away a portion
of the time. About ten years ago I thought
it about time to have a home of my own, -o
I bought his place. It has been owned and
occupied summers by Mr. Hullo way. lather
of Hon. A. W. Suit iway, President of the
Northern railroad. I was never niarrie,.
“I have always been temperate in my
habits, have used a little tobacco aud less
rum. For more than seventy five years I
have spent the rac*t of my timeout in the
open air, und for many years when I was
cnoppi g wood in the winters I slept in
shanties away from the farmhouses, carry

shouldn’t live to be 199. I certainly never
felt better in my Life. 1 have no stiff
joints and my muscles seem t > be as hard
and firm as ever. My appetite is always
good, hut I am very careful not to eat too
i&ucb. My food is ot the n.ninest kind. In
summer, principally fruit and milk, with
occasionally a little fresh meat. I try never
to be idle lam busy about something
nearly all the time while awake. 1 read a

the Globe. The Globe is my lavonte paper.
I go to lod in summer about 8 o’clock and
get up about 5. 11l the winter Igo about 7
or 7:30 and get up about 6. I own this
farm and have got a little money at inter
est. I should have no fear of the poor
house if I hadn't a cent, for I can go out at
day’s work and earn my living any time.
No. I don't call mysolf a very <ld mau.
Why should I?”
Driving back to the station 1 stopped at
Mr. Murphy’s nearest neighbor’s. The man
I mot here said that be had known the old
man for more than thirty year..
“He is certainly a very remarkable man.
1 met a few years ago a man who knew Mi-.
Murphy way back at the time he worked
for tne Canterbury Shakers. There is not
the slightest question about his age. Ho is
one of the best of neighbors. The amount
of work be can do in a day is wonderful.
Why, I would about a* soon have him ia

THE WESTERN GRETNA. GREEN.
Jeffersonville, Ind., is Famous for the
Many .ove Knots Tied There.
From the Philadelphia .Votes.
Jeffersonville is Hie Gretna Green of the
West, and there are probably more eloping
couples made happy at this place that at
any other on the American c nitinent or in
the world. The celebrated Justice, Ephraim
Keigwin, alone has celebrated no less than
1,800 marriages in the last ten years, cer
tainly a not despicable record The num
ber is doubled by two other justices who re
side here—Lee and Ware—the three
’Squires together having coupled not less
than 3,900 souls in marriage during the past
decade. The ministers of the ntv also are
frequently called upon, about three couples
per week asking them for assistance in get
ting rid of single blessedness, another 1,500
being thus added to the sum total of eloping
marriages, making at least 5,400 weddings
during the ten years past, or at an average
of 540 weddings per year. Non-, as a mar
riage license in Indiana costa $1 25, and the
'Squire’s or minister’s fee is seldom less
than f3, and often three times as much or
more, it will be seen that there is much
money in marrying—for Jeffersonville.
The majority' of the victims of Hvmeu
come from Kentucky, but Ohio. Indiana and
sometimes Tennessee or Illinois add to the
contingent. They are not always bona-fide
elopists, so to speak, from reasons of econ
omy, secrecy or prudence. Probably one
half belong to this class. It staudf to rea
son that it is cheaper to get up an alleged
runaway match, pay the railroad fare, $1 25
for license, $2 for the ceremony, which, by
the way, is carefully graded according t.o
purse, and go home quietly, than to give
an elaborate wedding feast witli all it* c n
comitants. which may run up into the hun
dreds of dollars.
Thus it will be seen that candidates for
wedlock can do no better financially than
run away to Jeffersonville aud get married,
if marry they must.
That such a strange industry as this can
not exist without some odd phases go s
without laying. So, for example, it has
created the matrimonial runner, a shrewd,
discerning young man, generally, who knows
the candidates dv sight, just as a report >r
knows a good bit of news The M. R. is
oppossed to violent exertion, and conse
quontly prefei-s to spend his tima at the
landing < f the ferry which connects tiie
blissful shore of Jeffersonville with Louis
ville.
When he sees a shyly happy couple come
up the river bank, or spies a hired ba k
with two passengers, he generally succeeds
in insinuating himself and tenders his ser
vice* He procures a license, swears to the
age 9i the parties, or gets some idler to do it,
aud lands the couple in the ’Squire's office,
who divides the fees with him. It may not
be a very remunerative nor useful occupa
tion, but it has the element of picturesque
ness and unconveiltionality.
There must have beeu atone time and an
other a respectable amount of hypothetical
sweari g done, in order to assure the Coun
ty Clerk as to the age of applicants for
license, and sometimes an infuriated par
ent arrives here just too late to stop the
ceremony, breathes destruction ami law,
then simmers down, accepts tko inevitable,
and fails to prosecute the bold, bad man
who presumed to know the age of a daugh
ter better than her parental progenitor.
It is not easy to stop an eloping marriage.
People here are general.y ill sympathy with
the smitten hearts, and police con
fess to somewhat of a tenderness. Nor ean
elopists be arrested and held just because
they have eloped. It is no crime. A prom
inent Kentuckian, whose daughter had Leu
spirit, and away .by an enterprising lover,
found that out a few days ago. He tele
graphed from Bardstown to arrest the cou
ple, the County Clerk was warned, and
everything cocked and primed to blow up
the anticipated marriage, but lo! the young
toup.e would not be held, aud they quietly
slipped to New Albany and were married. ’
There is plenty of romance in the busi
ness, and a novelist could probably not do
better than visit Jeffersonville and study
the escapades of these lovers. They corne
at all hours of day and night, in all sorts of
conveyances or on foot, and have all sorts
of adventures.
Sometimes the surly Kentucky maiden
goes to singing school or to cnurch, delud
ing the viguant father into security, whilo
her swain has horses or buggy ready to
drive to the nearest railway station or
straight through to the marital Mecca.
Again, as in tue case of Nimrod Conn, o.
Boston, Ky., a few days ago, the bride es
capes at midnight, with ail the accompani
ments of ladders, lantern aud danger. In
some cases the fugit.ves are hotly pursued,
but rarely overtaken before the knot is
tied, when the objecting parents invariably
cool down and accept the situation, and the
groom, atier more vigorous but unavailing
kicking, for no matter how easily the Indi
ana nuptial kubt is tied, it don't untie quite
so easily.
One of the most exciting experiences,
probably, was that ot a M.t lis©;i couple,
telegraphed the News at the time,
ihe elopers were accompan.ed by
the groan’s stepfather aud the
bride’s aunt. They escaped to Kentucky
ill a skiff, but, arriving on iaud, tae bride
was taken ill aid the waole petty com
pelled to seek shelter and syiujiftny at a
farm bouse, being delayed these several
days. When ac last they reached Jefferson
ville the stepfather aud aunt persuaded the
groom and bride to obtain a Uoelfte, which
was dmy transferred to the prop sr parties
and the wedding celebrated b r Justice
Keigwin. This is only one of nia uv tricks
resorted to to obtain the necessary legal pa
pers, and goes to snow the iugenui kof in

TIIE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1887.
MRS. CLEVELAND AT HOME.
Receiving Visitors—She Ltktos the
White House—An Early Riser.
fVom the Epoch.
Those who are fortunate enough to have
the chance to meet Mi's. Cleveland at home
are received by her in the Rod Parlor, the
most home-like of apartments on the semi
public lower floor of the White House. She
meets her guests with a charming welcome,
unconstrained, yet dignified. She talks
freely- and frankly about most subjects
but politics. Touch politics, and she
laughingly diveits the conversation
to books, or people, or perhaps to
the drama, for she confesses to a liking for
the theatre so strong that she is sure she
must curb it. She has also a great fondness
for the opera. If she knows how to be sar
castic she does not show it. She is not
critical. With much of the tact of Dorothy
Madison, she evidently- prefers t make
friends rather than enemies for her husband
and herself. So she seeks to win, not to
provoke. While she addresses y-ou, you are
the person in whom she is most interested,
Mrs. Cleveland likes the White House.
She has never joined in the chorus of de
traction of the building that it was once
regarded as proper to ; nise whenever it was
mentioned. She is interested in its history,
in the fact that Martha Washington, who
never lived in it. saw its foundations rising
while her husband was yet President.
When she refere to the somewhat limited
privacy that she einovs, Mrs. Cleveland re
calls Mrs. Ahigail Adams’ written amaze
ment, on her arrival at the house, when it
was to l>o occupied for the first time, to find
upon what “a grand and superb scale” it
was constructed, her reflection that it would
require “about thirty servants to keep the
apartments in proper order,” and her fear
to light -‘the great castle” wouid aione be
“a great tax.”
but Mr . Cleveland does not have much
of “the great castle” to herself, nor are
t hirty servants required to i eep it in order.
She lias a boudoir and four or five other
rooms ou the second floor for her own use
and for the bestowal of guests. Her boudoir
opens upon a central corridor, comfortably
furnished for and used as a family sitting
room. There are some good paintings of
American scenery by- American artist-, on
the walls, a porta-ait of the President, some
bric-a-brac, a pervading air of hoine-hka
ness, and, occasionally in the evening, a lit
tle good tobacco smoke from the President’s
after-dinner cigar. All the bed chambers
open upon this corridor sitting room. The
afternoon sun enters it through a semicir
cular window, fil ed with stained glass and
screened with growing plants. In summer
the fragrance from the conservatory just
below ascends through this window to fill
the house.
An early riser, like the President, his wife
is also, like her husband, busy during the
day. She does not assume management of
the house, beyond such occasional - super vis
ion as may- be Accessary to maintain order
aud regularity The morning brings to her
a volume, of letters that lias been constantly
growing. A thoughtless writer it. an other
wise friendly paragraph wrote a while ago
that Mrs. Cleveland personally responded to
all letters received by her. An
avalanche followed. She had been re
ceiving more letters than she could
answer. Now there were more than she
could take time to open. Most of them con
tained requests for scraps of her wedding
dress. Distressed women, anxious to save a
homestead, wrote for loans of $5,000 to
SIO,OOO, to “save the old place.” One
woman wrote to ask for a specified number
of yards of velvet, that was to be mazarine
blue in color, and in addition she wished to
have enough material for a wrap. Of ap
pbcatious for autographs and photographs
there is no end.
To attempt to answer all these letters
would be out of the question. To read
them all is unnecessary. If Mrs. Cleveland
undertook to respond favorably to all who
w: ite to her, she would keep a stenographer
and a photographer constantly at work; she
wouid gradually rob herself of her ward
robe, and she would bankrupt the President.
So a large part of the correspondence is
turned over to one of the executive clerks,
to be answered with a printed form, signed
by Col. Lamont. Mrs. Cleveland personally
responding only to letters from her per
sonal friends.
The afternoon is short at the White House,
and the time is well occupied. If Mrs.
Cleveland has opportunity she reads. Kind
friends, authors who wish to have her see
their books, and publishers send her new
volumes. She get* from three to dve a day
In her ambition to know something about
each of them she finds that she is beeo ling
spoiled as a reader. She reads some light
literature She also fl ids time to read some
thing in the newspapers, to scan a magazine
or two, and to enjoy the Epoch.
Out of the season of formal recepti ;ns
and dinners at the YVhite House, the after
dinner hours are usuilly quiet and restful
to Mrs. Cleveland. Toere is eldom a day
that the Presid -at do s not have a guest or
two to dine with Lint. The wives of Cab
inet officers f.eqne tly call later, with or
witnout their Husbands, for they are like
members ot the YV into House family. An
occasional theatre party, in which thb
President joins, varies this programme.

P. P. P hTf g. Go.:
Gsnti.kmkn—About nine months ago I
was a. utexed with Inflammatory Rheu
matism in toy feet, back, shoulders and
breast.* The pains were excruciating
aud continuous. For six weeks I was
coqflned to ray tied, and part of the time
had to be assisted to turn over. At times
I could not sit up, if to do so would nave
secured a fortune. My feet wi re swollen
and the bottoms of them so tender t hat
walking was a constant source of the
liveliest misery Tt- would be impossible
to express In words the agony 1 endured.
1 tried a number of remedies, sivcalled,
and some of them afforded temporary
relief, but it was only temporary, and I
liegan to despair of lindinga cure. I had
had heard several gentlemen speak of a
new Rheumatism cure manufactured at
sVycross,and while 1 Opened I doubted.
Finally I met two or three part ins who
had tried this n-w medicine and had
been cured, and 1 decided to procure a
pint of it and test its virtues This I did,
and was satisfied I had lieen benefited.
Well, to make a lung story short, I con
tinued to take the medicine until 1 had
used three and a hair quart bottles, im
proving all the while in my general
health, and noticing a steady decrease
In the Rheumatism. When the half of
the fourth quart was finished, 1 fell as
well as I ever did in uiy life, with only
an occasional touch of Rheumatism,
and since taking the first quart I have
been able to attend to my duties in the
office, not having lost a moment since
on account of mv funner enemy.
I shall take two or three quarts more
of P. K I’.. beginning about t’/o months
from the time I left off taking it: and I
am eonfld int that the last vestige of the
dreadful malady will tie driven from ray
system.
I <lo not say that P. P. P. wrought tills
wonderful cure, but I do assert, m< sit
emphatically, that i derived no perma
nent relief until after I took the first

To the Public.
Prop*tins fur Spring and Summer 1888.
The unprecedented trade in our Millinery Business dur
ing 1887 is owing to the constantly adding of Novelties and
the immense increase of our stock, which is doubtless the
Largest of Any Retail Millinery in America, exclusive of
New York, and our three large floors cannot hold them.
Already our importations, Direct from Europe, are ar
riving, and on Our Third Floor we are opening Novelties
for Spring and Summer in Ribbons, French Flowers and
Feathers in the Most Beautiful and Novel Shades. We
are sorry to be compelled, for want of room, to close our
Winter Season so soon, which has been so very successful,
and from to-day all our Felt Ilats, Fancy Feathers and
Trimmed Hats will be sold at any price. Our Ribbon Sale
will continue until further notice.
