He Was Not to Be Agitated, Even by "Percy, Dear." It was moving day for tlio summer colony along the North shoro of Mas RnehusettH. On tho morning train from Kockport, bearing many well known Hostonlans to their town houses for tho winter, rotlo a stormy old gentleman from tho west. At Pride's crossing a family of three father, mother and daughter boarded the train, bearing respectively tho family treasures: Ono pet poodle, ono gray cat In a blue blanket, and ono traveling clock in a much worn leath er case. The party had no sooner found seats ncross from tho western er, than It became apparent that tho oxcitemont of boarding tho train had caused a commotion nmpng tho pots. Tho cat wns chided for talking aloud. "Calm yourself, Hobby," said his mis tress. "I3o yourself onco more wo are now on our way home." Where upon Hobby grew calm. Tho poodle became restless In tho company of his master on n sent In front nnjt signified his yenrning for Hobby's company by climbing up tho back of the seat and casting goo-goo eyes nt tho Tabby. Tho sympathetic mistress understood at onco and said: "You may come over hero and sit with us, Percy, denr. on one condition you must not agitato Hobby." This was too much for tho stormy westerner. With a loud snort ho reared up, pawed Ills hand-bag from tho rack above his head, and pranced Into a conch ahead. His Sole Limitation.

Of thta number 114 victims were killed outright or died afterward: 150 suf fered fractured skulls; 02, amputation of limbs; :i91, broken limbs, and 1,375, other serious injuries. It is estimated that tho year's record of fatalities aie around 500. Thoso figures represent a careful canvnss of tho territory mentioned by agents of tho public service commis sion. For purposes of comparison with the preceding year, 1907. a report on tho last six months only Is avail able, the work of tho commission hav ing been begun in July. In that half year 24,209 casualties occurred, and from them resulted 2S8 deaths. Owing to tho organization, practice and experience of tho force making tho count, it Is probable that tho re port for 1908 Is much moro thorough than any other ever mado In tho city, even for the six months of 1907, and yot tlio total uumbor of fatalities in this year do not reach tlio llgures for tho year preccedlng. Coming Out Party THE Sunday night dance which tho Jackson Gorauds gave at Martin's a couple of weeks ago was entirely outdone early the other morning by n "society circus" that Harry Perry Dls becker gave in honor of his pachyder mia lady friend, Rosa, the elephant at tho hippodrome. Harry's affection for Rosa Is well known. Christmas he presented her with a ten-pound box of candy and n magnum of champagne. His latest evi dence of affection was to present her formally to society with Mrs. Jackson Gourautl and Mine. Verona Jarbeau as her chaperons. Some two hundred of the lively liv ing set responded to invitations which Disbeckor issued in the shnpe of cir cus posters. They were advised, In tho posters, to appear in "rural rai ment." And they did some of tho women as genuino Westchester county dairy maids, others in Bilk Watteau shepherdess gowns with skirts of Parisian cut and delectablo Wife of Society Man Sues for Divorce t vgtBSr- t MARY BLAIR HROKAW, through her lawyers, has obtained an order from Justice Maddox of the supremo court at Mincola permitting her to serve her husband, W. Gould Ilrokaw, tho well-known society man, with no tice of a suit for separation nnd main tenance. According to tho complaint submit ted, Mrs. Hrokaw had her lawyers pre pare papers to bo served on her hus band early last October. When the process solver arrived at the Hotel Netherlands, Hrokaw, who seemed to have sensed the coming squall, went out, ho snid, "to seo n man." Ho put on false whiskers and boarded an automobllo around the corner. His wife has seen him only onco Blnce. That was a few days later, when he telephoned her to meet him nt tho Laurel houso at Lakowood, N. J. She wont there nnd took a process server with her. Ilrokaw, she swears, came out on the porch, saw her with tho process server, ran back Into tho Last Year Bad One CUPID had a bad year in Now York Btato In 190S. Tho uumbor of marriages decronsed moro than 20,000, as compared with 1907. And for this condition this bridling or tho little god of love tho marriage license law which went Into effect about a year ago la blamed. Figures given out by tho state depattmeiit of health show that tho total number of marriages in UCENS& (MMfrr i p.tj a-J )mrr $ Hy comparison with the tablo for the last six months of l'JO", It appears that tlio number of street and track accidents have decreased since tho public service coiuiiiIhhIoii oi tiered the overhauling of lolling slock and the repairing of tracks, which would In dlcate that with tho operating ap paratus In better order tho railroad employes have been better ublu to avert accidents. In October, lflOS, there weio 77 car collisions, against 'JIM for l'JO". and SS2 persons and vehicles struck by cars, against 1,115. In November. tOOS, there were 81 car collisions, nnd 929 persons and vehicles struck by cars, against 1G0 and 977, respectively, for the year preceding. In tlio summer months of lt!08, both these totals were increased, but tho rolling stock, tracks and controlling nppnratus was In repair, and the num ber of accidents was kept below the llgures for the year when the public service commission was not In con trol. In August, 1908, for example, there were 121 car collisions com pared with 81 for November, but even this total was less than MO for August of 1907. Hoforo these repalis were started by the commission, tho "run In" hooks of ono surface line In Manhattan alone showed that 300 cars a day were brought Into the barns crippled In some way. After the overhauling was completed this number of "dead" cars had droirpod to 71. for Elephant Latest brevity, and most all of tho men went as "Rubes." The stage of the Hippodrome was set under a "big top." At 12:30 o'clock the "grand parade" began. Wells Hawkcs, as ringmaster, led. Then came Harry Disbeckor. driving a trained pig; Jackson Gouraud and an assistant United States district at torney, D. Frank Lloyd, on, horses; and then a barred cage In which two fake lions fought u wild battle with two imitation trainers. The lions were Melville Ellis and Addison Mlzner, former brother-in-law to Mrs. Yerkes; the trainers were Joseph Herbert and Eugeno Waugh. Wilson Mlzner, ex-husband of Mrs. Yerkes, appeared as a threo-card montc shnrp .offering the "Rubes" chances to double their money. Then behind him appeared Mrs. Jackson Gouraud, doing her famous "wiggle" dance. J. II. Taylor, as a country con stable, arrested both. Others in line of performers and spectators included Anna Held, Ethel Harrymore, Blanche Ring, Attorney John F. Mclntyre, Jessie Lewlsohn, Ednn McCaulcy and all tlio most widely known press agents, wine, agents, show girls and folks about town and tho elephant. Tho "society circus" at dawn had totally eclipsed tho Gourautls' affair hotel, climbed out of tho back window nnd down a Are escnpo. Ho mndo his way to tho Country club and thence to his estate In North Carolina High Point, where tho defendant has a hunt ing preserve. Mrs. Urokaw alleges that her hus band has been there ever since. Sho says that process servers have been trying to reach him, but that he has a habit of evading subpoenas. Mrs. Hrokaw avers sho was married In Chlttenango, county of Madison, New York, September 10, 1907. She charges cruel nnd inhuman treatment nnd abandonment in her complnlnt for separation. In addition, Mrs. Hrokaw claims that on several occasions her husbund, when under tho inlluence of drink, struck her, Inflicting black and bluo marks on her body; accused her of flirting with strange men, commanded that sho must not take her meals In a public dining room, and that slie must never wnlk out unaccompanied by her maid. Mrs. Hrokaw estimates her hus band's fortuno nt ?4,000,000 and his In como at 200,000 a year. Within a few weeks after tho wed ding the Polllon sisters got nfter W. Gould Hrokaw. Katherino Polllon sued him for $250,000 for breach of promlso to mnrry and tlio suit wns settled out of court. for Cupid in State 1908 wns only about 74,000, while In 1907 It was 9C.21C. The largest falling off Is noted In counties situated near the border line, whore, before enactment of tho now law, couples from other states having a maningo license law found it con venient to be married. Deaths in the state last year totaled a fnw moro than 138,000, the lowest slnco 1903, whllo tho death rato for tho year was lfi.2, tho smallest in 20j years. Tho average rate for tho last live years was 17.2. The decrease In tho nunihor of denths is attributed to sonio extent to uso of antitoxin In cases of diphtheria and to better sani tary rules which limit epidemics ot typhoid fever. Cancer, however, is In creasing rapidly as a cause of douth. BIG OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE YOUNG MAN AND YOUNQ WOMAN OF TODAY TELEGRAPHY BOOK-KEEPING SHORTHAND Offer Brilliant Possibilities for Ad vancement and High Salaries Hundreds of thousands of bright young men and young women nro today arriving at that ago when they become interested in llieir future in their pros poets for u successful career, with tho ability on their parts to cam good sala ries, no independent, nnd amount to something in tlio world, nnd for tlieso young persons tliero nro many profes sions nnd senii-professionni occupations which olTcr golden avenues to important and high-salaried positions. Among tlieso professions aro Telegraphy, llook kceping, Shorthand, etc Tako. for instance, tlio tclpcrapner probably every president of a great railroad, today, secured his start as a telegrapher working his way up hy careful attention to his duties, nnd hy grasping his opportunities and making tlio most of them. Then tako tho pro fessidn of book-keeping nearly every head of a great rnercantilo or ilnaiicial institution of today began lifo either in that institution, or in somo other, as a book-keeper. And what is truo of tho profession, of book-keeping is ooually truo of that of stenography. What thoso other young men nnd young womon litivo done, any young man or young woman can do if they will. All that is necespary is a few dol lars invested in a correspondence courso, in ono or tho other of tlieso studies tho devoting of a few sparo moments now nnd then (which would othcrwho ho wasted) to tho study selected and a determination to learnt mid to succeed. s Among thoso educational institutions which today instruct young men and young women (as well as persons of as agos) by correspondence, in tho person's own homo, ono of tho most prominent and best known is tho Michigan lhisi no ss Institute, nt Kalamazoo, Michi gan, which lias, during tho past twelvo or iiftcen years, graduated many hun dreds of young mon and young women, in each of tho lines of professional work aoovo rororrou to. This famous Educational Institution of Michigan is nt all times glad to an swer inquiries from young men nnd young womon (or others) who feel that thoy would liko to tako up any ono of those studies, in their own homes, at small oxjrcnso nnd a lottor nddrossod to K. P. Sumption, President, Michigan iHisincss insuiuio, u insw iiug Kalamazoo, Mich., will roccivo prompt and courteous attention. It may bo well to add, also, that in taking up a Courso of Study with this Institution, tho student is not roquirod to pay anything nt all lor tho tuition until lio or sho has graduated nnd has secured a satisfactory position, on sal ary. This arrangomont is so generous n ono that no person desiring to perfect themselves in a good-paying profession can afford to neglect taking advantage of it. BRINGING HIM OUT.
