Man Meets Friends Dragging
River for Him.
Thought Drowned Ho Had Reached
Opposite Bank in Series of Long
Dives and Was Paddling
Back In a Canoe.
Richmond. Va —Whether through
thoughtlessness or purpose, Charles
Harding caused a sensation among
bis relatives and had It spread
trroughout the city that he had been
drowned. Those who fell for the
story and took the trouble to Investi¬
gate it were a bit sore and preferred
to believe that it was a put-up job
rather than an exhibition of expert
swimming.
Harding, who is known as one of
the most expert swimmers in Fulton—
and there are some swimmers In Ful¬
ton—went out recently with a number
of others. First he swam over to the
Chesterfield side of the river, and, aft¬
er resting for a while, started hack.
When about midstream, far from
any of h1s companions, he disappear¬
ed. and. as far as they could see, never
came to the surface again. They
waited for some time and then sent
out the alarm that he was drowned,
ilis relatives were notified and a
searching party was being organized
when Harding was discovered calmly
rowing up the river in a canoe In
which he took passage soon after his
remarkable disappearance.
Tt turned out that Harding, when fn
the middle of the, river, took a notion
fo do some fancy diving. He ducked
under the water and let himself go
with the current as long as he could
hold his breath. Coining up but a
moment for a new supply of oxygen
he took another dive and still anoth¬
er, until, when he finally tired of the
stunt, he was nearly a mile from
where he left his clothes on the
bank. It was then that he chartered
the canoe and returned to the grief
stricken relatives and friends wfco
were about to drag the river.
One of his kinsmen. Fireman Will¬
iams. connected with No. 4 engine
house, was among these who bit. 11
knew.” said Mr. Williams, “that he
would not be drowned unless taken
with cramp, but anyone is likely to be
taken with cramp, so when I got the
message there was nothing to do Nil
get a short leave of absence an<* *ee
about it."
Though he would not say that It
was a premeditated fake, Mr. Will¬
iams was very dubious.

MOVING PICTURES PRODUCE
WONDERFUL THINGS.
The million dollar motion picture
spectacle. “The White Ghost of Dis¬
aster”, which is booked here for the
first time in this city, at the Lyric
on next Monday is unquestionably a
marvelous liliu. The films present
the story of the Titantic in Actual mo¬
tion, and bring right before the eye
the collision with the giant iceberg
as well as everything that happened
before and after. We see tlie explo¬
sion of the big bailers, the disturbance
among the passengers, and the water
gushing into the different compart¬
ments of the ship. The wireless room
is shown and all that took place with¬
in. The principal characters are re¬
cognized all the way through the films.
In fact every detail in this, the great¬
est marine tragedy, is worked out with
greatest care and the patrons of the
Lyric Theatre are assured and unus¬
ual attraction in the “White Ghost of
Disaster.”
' PA.!) FCR HIS LESSON.
ft Was Double Price, at That, but H
Taught Him a Lot.
Mr. l’otterton prided himself upon
icing a man of a philosophical turn ot
mind. Coming home one evening, he
discovered that a thief had taken his
•cnrfpin. an heirloom. .Mrs. l’otterton
was for sending out a general police
alarm, besides asking the departments
of Yonkers and Patcbogue to help In
the search. But Mr. l’otterton had
>ther views.
'I will advertise for its return, Mu
fiu,” lie declared. “The sum of $10.
fvttdi promise of no questions asked,
will get the pin hack. The $10 is less
than I would lie obliged to pay the de
rective as a tip. and the detective
would not recapture the pin. Cheaper,
quicker, safer.”
Mr. l’otterton advertised. An answer
came. Mr. l’otterton was to be on a
certain corner at 0 o'clock that even
dig. He kept the appointment faith
fully, and a man came up to tr\i. hand
*d out the scsrfpin. took fir. $10 and
uirned away.
"But hold, my good man. ' said Mr
Potterton. “! mean you no harm, hut
I am so i urious to learn how it was
that you took rile scarfpin without mj
noticing the—er er-thief that i
gladly pay you $10 more to have yot
show me how it was done."
The man looked at Mr. Potterton’*
face. It was transparently honest.
“Dut the | in buck in your tie.” h<
commanded.
“Now.” be went on. "do you remein
tier that the other evening in tlie sub
way a man. holding a paper in one
hand.-lurched against you? That man
was 1. Inst as my hand struck yout
breast I extracted the pin. I left tlie
train at the next station. If you wil'
remember I struck von just so "
Tlie man tapped Mr. l’otterton as h i
had done in the sub va;,.
"Your skill is truly marvelous.” said
Mr. l’otterton. "Thank you. mv good
man. Good night.''
Arrived home. Mr. l’otterton describ¬
ed to Maria the success of his efforts
and how tlie thief had taken tlie pin.
‘ His light tingeredness was truly
astounding." lie declared “lie show
ed me his method. He struck me jus
here"- .vml Mr. l’otterton illustrate!*
