“Slow,” but He and Violet
Fool Them.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.— Nobody in
j Kearny, N. J., thought there was any-
1 thing very speedy in the love-making
e about John Decker, who used to
live in Kearny, but now lives in New
ark, N r . J. He had been calling on
Miss Violet Kenton, of Kearny, for a
dozen years or ho, and twice a week
Was his limit.
“Land sakes?" said the old ladies.
“I wonder when Jack’ll get enough
gumption to pop the question!”
Married Five Years.
Now. gosh hang it, it seems Decker
and Miss Kenton came over to New
York about five years ago and got
married. Ho most of the time Decker
has been witting in Miss Kenton’s
front parlor nights lie’s been calling on
his own wife.
“Well, lawsey me,” say those same
old ladies, “how under heavens were
wo to know that? He called regu
larly on Sundays and Wednesdays,
and always went home early. They
didn;t act like they were married. It
wasn’t fair!”
Aunt Won't Talk.
Her aunt. Miss Margaret Kenton,
with whom Mrs. Decker lives at No.
130 Davis avenue, Kearny, refused to

Decker had nothing to say. either.

Woman To Be ‘Officer/
Not Merely Matron
MUNCIE. IND . Dec. 13—Mrs. Thomas
F. Hart, wife of the manufacturer says
when she assumes her police position in
the next city administration she will be
a policewoman and not police matron,
ar the newspapers have said, and inti
mates that while her attention ehifly
will be given to girls and women win,
need help, she may find it necessarv
to exorcise her police powers on male
offenders as well.
“A police matron is limited in her du
ties to women prisoners only,” said Mrs
Hart, “but a policewoman has all the
powers of a policeman.”
SAVANNAH. Dec. 13.—Dr. Ralston
Lattimore, president of the Medical As
sociation of Georgia, and Dr. W. F.
Brunner, City Health Officer, who was
in charge of sanitation on the Island of
Cuba after the Spanish-American War,
have started an active campaign among
physicians of the State, to have the Leg
islature appropriate a sufficient amount
of money to maintain a bureau of vital
statistics.
Addressing the Savannah Medical As
sociation. Dr. Brunner said that the cit
izens of the State were constantly men
aced with possible eDidemics that might
spread from some of the infected coun
ties because of the fact that no report
of it was made, and the physicians in
one county did not have any idea of
the disease in the county next or wheth-
< ” visitors were not bringing smallpox,
meningitis or a number of diseases.
"No records are kept in this State of
the diseases or death:; from diseases in
ai } places but Atlanta anci Savannah,”
-i id Dr. Lattimore. “For this reason, it
it impossible to study the cause or the
origin of the epidemics, or know where
to begin fighting them. The smallpox in
Georgia of recent years has been of a
very light character. It might any sea
son become malignant Without a bu
reau of vital statistics, we are con
stantly facing an epidemic of this or
some other contagious disease.”

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—Dr. F. H. Os
good, speaking on th* "Care and Dis
eases of Horses” at the Harvard Med
ical School, declared not only that the
tired horse should be given a course
dinner, but that he should have an al
coholic stimulant before he eats, as a
cocktail, and some hay as the usual
hors d’oeuvres, before he tackles iiis oats
as the piece dc resistance.
Mayor Woodward Saturday made
public a vto on the resolution of the
City Council providing for a special
committee to inspect the new fire
alarm system, with a view to agree
ing upon a purchase price which
contains an ultimatum to the Okinite
Company of New' York, which bui:t
the system.
“I can see only three ways for that
! company to attemp to secure any
| standing whatever. One of these
! would be the mandamusing of me t*»
| make me sign checks in payment of
that contract. Under the .Supreme
Court’s decision I see no chance of
success for them along that line. An
other way open to them is to bring
individual suit against different me i-
bers of the General Council that went
on record as voting for that contract
in 1912. The law is very clear on
that line. The next and surest way
of ending this matter would be to r»-
fer the matter to the people to be
voted upon as a bonded indebtedness.
Under the last-named mode of pro
cedure, I would very heartily ap
prove.
“If the people feel disposed to vote
that his matter be paid full amount,
it will meet with my hearty acqui
escence. Until one of these three
courses have been determined satis
factorily, or the price of that plant
materialy reduced. I shall pay no fur
ther attention to this matter. I shall
refuse to sign any checks in payment
until some satisfactory legal course
has been arrived at.
“I am absolutely opposed to the
plant as it exists, on acc-oun of its
excessive expense to the city in ma
nipulating the alarm system, and also
T regard that the price is excessive
by the reason of all parties being
aware when the contract was entered
into that it was illegal and was of
long payments on the installment
plan, and naturally, from a business
standpoint, would carry an inflated
price. Besides the excessive price of
this plant, it is well know that It on’v
covers the old city limits, and no
where enters into the newly acquired
territory."
NEWBERN, N. C„ Dec. 13.--The
United States revenue cutter Pamlico,
in command of Captain C. W. Joynes,
who came here several days ago from
Key West, Fla., lias left for a cruise
of several weeks on Pamlico Sound
and around the waters in this section.
Always at this season the Pamlico
is sent out on these cruises and dur
ing the time that the vessel has been
stationed here she has rushed to the
aid cf countless mariners, who have
been caught in the grasp of storms
and heavy seas. The vessel was nev
er in better shape for doing patrol
duty up and down the coast than at
the present time.
Up to the present season the vessel
has not been equipped with a wire
less station, but recently the boat was
taken to Baltimore and on her was
installed one of the most modern sets
of wireless apparatus that could be
secured.
Frequent trials have been made
since the vessel returned to Newbern
and the operator has shown that he
can. with ease, pick up a message at
a distance of 200 miles.
