THE END OF "BATTERY DAN. "
His Best Monument the Little Park
at Manhattan's Point.
New York , March 26. "Battery
Dan" Finn is dead. Daniel E. Finn ,
city magistrate , his name appears
when used olllclally , but In New York
and throughout the state It was sim
ply "Battery Dan. " The end to the
politician came this afternoon after
a long Ulness.
This Tammany leader of "de Foist"
was brought up among the people , and
he got snatches of mental training
from the public schools. The streets'
and the water front , the ships that
came from over seas and the foreign
folk who either gravitated or flocked :
to the wharves had much to teach ;
young Dan , and the youngster was
an apt pupil.
It msv bo due to the memory of
Lyric Sketch Makes Hit.
The Lyric Comedy company outdid
themselves this week in their comedy
sketch , "A Stranded Opera Company. "
The scene is laid In Norfolk and Ha-
dar , where the company was stranded.
Six Norfolk boys composed the com
pany and the largest house the Lyric
1ms ever had witnessed the sketch 1 > ,
which the company consider their big
gest hit. L. Barnes , one of the com
pany , who goes to Chicago in a few
months to attend the dramatic school ,
)1.h
is writing the next comedy sketch ,
. which will bo put on at the Lyric next
week. "My Wife's Gone to the Coun
try , " is the name of the new play.
Harold Davoy. another member of note
company , will also go to Chicago to
those strenuous days that " ry
Dan" had such an outward dislike for
the tactics of certain policemen , who ,
as has been demonstrated , cannot get
a prisoner to the magistrate's court
before they call In the services of
ofh
an ambulance surgeon. There is nothing : -
her
ing that has como to him in after
years that brought him the pleasure
that one fight did which ho mode at
the top of State street on Capitol
hill. This Is where he won his spurs
as "Battery Dan. " It seems that n
certain congressman whoso habitat
was Richmond , was greatly interested
in n bill that would swoop down on
the open reaches of the batter and
give all of that region to "corpora
tions" for docks and wharves. Now
that was getting close to Dan's homo.
Dan fought the bill. The congressman
did not succeed and today one of the
flrst parks In the country Is that Bat
tery park and as the boys and girls
say down there , whether visitors or
from the Italian , Chinese or Syrian
colonies In the First Tammany dis
trict , the finest man In the country
Is Battery Dan Finn , who saved the
park and the sea wall for the poly
glot people of his bailiwick , and others
) f course are welcome. That's why
Battery Dan preferred to be called
Battery Dan than Magistrate Finn.
Die mayor made Dan Finn a magis
trate , but he earned and coined the
Battery Dan title by his own efforts.
It was In 18SO that Dun had en
trenched himself solid enough In the
favor of the bosses that the Bherlff
selected him as a deputy from "du
Foist. " While Dan was a deputy sher
iff he certainly was busy. Dan never
ran away from a fight. The police
found him a fierce opponent , because ,
as Dan remarked In these later days
when his voice had softened and his
lioad had become gray and his fea
tures molded Into a composite of dig
nity and peace on earth to men of
good will , " 1 would not stand for them
Lo bent up Inoffensive young men , and
I would not stand for nn Insult to a
woman. "
In 1'JOn Mayor McClellan made "Bat
tery Dan" a city magistiate. Finn
was C4 years old.

WHO BUYS WOODEN SHOES ?
Chicken Pickers , for One Class , the
Dealer Answers.
; . . Kansas City Star : They were rest
, ing Inside the show window of a shoe
store on lower Main 'street.
"Now. what right have those things
to be there ? " demanded the person
of the untamed curiosity. "It's prepos
terous. No one ever wears them ex
cept the people'on Delft tiling , and
there aren't any people like that
around here. Surely , I must be nils
taken. "
"Not at all , " answered the mnnagei
when the question was put to him ,
"They're real scow-like wooden shoes
and we carry them as a stock line. "
"Implying that someone buys
them ? "
The manager laughed.
"I should say someone does buy
them , " ho said. "There isn't a week
that I don't sell thirty or forty pairs. "
"An curiosities ? "
"What do you think I'm running , '
he inquired , "a novelty counter era
a shoo store ? "
"Shoe store. But say , wouldn't you
call wooden shoes footware ? "
"Certainly. Footwear. People wear
them on their feet. Singular of feet ;
foot. Wear ; wear. Footwear. "
"Where do they wear them. I never
met anyone wearing them. "
"Oh , they're used in picking chicken
"
en
"Keep the chickens from biting ? "
"You are very clever , " said the man
ager , "but you are wrong there.
| I Chicken pickers use wooden shoes to
keep the scalding water from burning
'
their feet. Similarly , we sell lots of
clogs to creamery and asphalt workers
and to men who labor In the Ice cream ,
ifactories. . The creamery men use
them because they keep the feet dry ;
the asphalt workers , because they
I keep the heat of the asphalt at a
respectful distance , and the men who
work in Ice cream factories , because It
keeps the salt water from giving them ,
s'rheumatism. ' . You know wood is the
host non-conductor in the world. "
| "I know , " replied the other with un-
concealed pride. "I read It In a serial
story , where the hero piled up wood
to keep the angry flames from devour-
I ing the heroine. It was very fetch-
.ing. "
I "We sell them to actors , also , " said
the manager.
You do ? " '
"Oh , yes. Every once in a while
some actor or actress that's doubling
up with a clog dancing turn pounds
on the boards too hard and breaks
a clog. Then he comes to us. Some-
times , too , wo sell ten or twelve pairs
SIn a lump to someone who's giving a
Dutch party or something. Only last
week I shipped twenty pairs to a
Htle town In Missouri for an enter-
Lalnment of some kind. How'd they
know we handle them ? I don't know.
I guess we've had a kind of monopoly
ely on the business around her so long
that people have just got to knowing
about it. I get orders from Kansas
and Nebraska , and all over. Lots of
virtue In wooden shoes , I tell you. We
buy most of them in Milwaukee. We
don't Import any of them. "
"Non-conductors , aren't they ? "
"Sure. "
"And foot-ware ? "
"Why , of course. F-o-o-t , foot , mean
ing foot. "

ON THE
Stage
"Polly of The Circus. "
A packed house at the Auditorium
iiHt night saw one of the greatest
scenic shows that has ever come to
town. "Polly of The Circus" was
everything that had been claimed for
It , and more. The circus scones In the
ast act , realistic to a line degree , wort-
stage pictures that will long linger
n the memories of those who were
hero.
A real sawdust circus ring and a
real bareback horse galloping around
the stage while a girl in Huffy skirts
turned somersaults on bin back ; real
clowns who slapped one another In
the face and who could turn somer
saults In the air as easily as they
could laugh ; a regulation ringmaster
cracking his regulation circus whip ;
a real trapeze performer overhead and
real , genuine circus acrobats doing
lllpllops on the side all these and
moro were there In all their glory.
There were the roustabouts and the
circus band and the spieler and there
was the big headline event , the leap
of death , that sent a thrill through the
audience.
But the scene out in the dressing
nts behind the "big top , " out" * where
the acrobats were "warming up" for
their turns In the performance , by
turning handsprings and somersaults ,
and where the clowns were loitering
about in commonplace fashion , just as
If their faces weren't painted ; out
there where the ringmaster came to
deride Polly for her poor work an
act , he said , that would make her
mother ashamed to own her , because
It failed to come up to the mother's
old time daring feat on the horse ;
yes , and out there where the church
deacon who had had so much to say
about circuses , came prowling about
to get a glimpse of the circus girls
there was the realism that lifts "Polly
of The iCrcus" up out of the atmos
phere of ordinary attractions ami
makes it a unique stage production , all
iii Its own individual class.
Never has a show carried more
special scenery , or more expensive
scenery , Into the Norfolk Auditorium
than this. And people liked it.

WOMEN TO HAVE POCKETS AGAIN
At Present the.Receptacles Are Placed
Only on Tailor-Made Suits.
New York , March 28. Not for years
nave women's frocks possessed pock
ots. In fact , so obsolete is the fashion
that many members of the younger
generation regard It as a myth. Yet
attlcs'in every part of this broad land
contain { dresses equipped with an eas
ily ( ] accessible place for storing trllles
and when such gowns are resuscitated
they will certainly seem absurdly vol
umlnoiis in comparison with the clinging
J1
ing ' ' effects which have marked the
first decade of the Twentieth Century
The modern pocket does not hide
Itself among plaits and folds. On 'the
contrary , it boldly advertises itself li
the shape of a largo square patch set
on one or both hips , and by its dec
oration of piping , braiding or embroid
cry. At present the pocket appears on
ly on the more simply made of the
tailored wash frocks , notably on those
having i.either tunic nor plaits. They
arc occasionally put on the sides of a
polonaise , but seem best of all adaptet
to the coat shaped belted frock whlcl
appears to be in one piece , but actually
consists of a scant , gored skirt and a
plain blouse , both opening directly In :
front and fastening from throat to'
feet with a double row of fabric cov
ered buttons and elongated , prominent
ly bound buttonholes.
HAT IS SNARE FOR CUPID.
Man Falls in Love With Woman Who
Made It.
Lincoln , Neb. , March 22. Because
he stopped before a millinery shop
window about a year ago to admire a j
prettily trimmed hat , and because ills
curiosity concerning the price of the
hat ' prompted him to enter the store
and ask how much the creation cost : ,
Edwin M. Abbott , of 1420 II street , is
today enjoying a honeymoon witli the
young woman who made the hat , Miss
Mary L. Jackson , of 24f. . South Fif- |
eenth street , formerly of Jacksonville ,
Jl.
The ceremony was performed by
iev. Harvey H. Harmon , pastor of
he First Christian church , Saturday
tfternoon at ! i o'clock at the home of
the groom on D street. The couple
eft on the G o'clock train for Omaha ,
where they began their honeymoon.
The couple will be at home after Ap-
11 1 at ; :4 : South Twelfth street.
About a year ago Mr. Abbott hap
pened to be strolling leisurely by a
nlllinery shop window when his eye
fell upon a hat that struck his fancy.
: Ie was always an admirer of the
beautiful , and this partlclur headpiece
seemed to him to be nearly perfect ,
lie stood looking at the hat for some
time and began to wonder how much
thejthing cost. He bad none to buy
the millinery for , as his first wife was
divorced from him , but he became fas-
Inated witht he ornament and enc -
clnated with the ornament and entered
the store to price it.
Miss Mary L. Jackson , the manager
of the store and the woman who made
the hat , came to wait upon him. He
found her even more interesting than
the hat , but he managed to ask her
jrh
concerning the price of that which ;
first attracted him to the store. She
took the mass of ribbon and feathers
In her hand and was explaining its
beauties to Abbott , when one of his
married friends happened to come Into
the store to make a purchase. She
looked at Abbott , and , knowing him
well , came up to him and asked him
what lie wanted with a woman's hat.
She Introduced the man to the nretty
tym
milliner and continued to "jolly" him
about pricing the hat , as he had not
given a satisfactory answer to her
question. She told him that he had
no one to buy the hat for and , seeing
his embarrassment , continued to tease
Abbott. In his desperation he muttered
itto
tered that he didn't have any one to
buy the hat for , but that ho ad
ho had. Miss Jackson then took adm
hand In the conversation and told him
that It scorned a shame that such a
nice man as ho should wish In vain
for someone to give the hat to.
"Most men don't like the idea of
niylng hats for their wives , " she said
vlth a smile , "and of course that tinrth
ny business. I must say that I really
admire a man who Is different from
.ho general run. "
TlilH was pretty good , Abbott
bought , after getting into such a mess
localise he tried to satisfy his curi
osity. Ho talked awhllo and It was
joon apparent to botli the milliner and
the piano tuner , for that is Abbott's
irofesslon , that they were going to
bo friends. She Invited him to see
icr 'and ho accepted the Invitation
, vltli pleasure. Ho was in the habit
of calling quite regular , but a joke
> n last Monday night brought the mat
ter to a crisis and precipitated the
couple- Into matrimony.
As Abbott was about to leave after
nn evening call ho got up courage
enough to jokingly remark to his
sweetheart : "It's a shame I have to
leave you. I wish things were fixed
so that I didn't have to. "
Miss Jackson blushed and , lowering
her eyelids , said : "Well , why don't
you fix them then ? "
"Do you mean that ? " he nskod ,
thinking it too good to be true. v
"Well , then , let's get married. "
"Of course I do , " he replied.
"AH right , " Miss Jackson respond
ed ; "when ? "
Abbott was getting anxious to close
the deal before his loved one could
change her mind , so he said : "How
about next Saturdaj night ? "
"That suits mo as well as any time , "
replied Miss Jackson , and prepara
tions were Immediately made for the
ceremony , which took place Saturday
night.
Miss Jackson is connected witli one
of the best families of Jacksonville ,
111. , and for some time has been mana
ger of a millinery establishment in
Lincoln. She is considered to be one
of the most skilled milliners in the
city and has a large list of friends.
Mr. Abbott has lived hero for nearly
fifteen years and is a piano tuner by
profession. The wedding was quiet
and only a few intimate friends were
present at the ceremony.

SCHWICHTENBERG SIDE OF IT.
Claim Napper Ran Right up to Horses'
Noses , Forcing Them Off.
A telephone message from the
Schwichtenberg home to The News
gives the details of the accident as
viewed by people In the carriage.
They were returning home from the
Kayl j funeral In Norfolk when they
met Napper's car near the Uecher
farm. The horses were right at the
edge of a culvert , they say , when Nap
per's car jammed up to the animals'
noses and the horses , to escape being
run over , had to Jump off the grade ,
overturning the carriage. The occu
pants were thrown Into a wire fence
and Mrs. Schwichtenberg dragged and ,
aside from the rib fracture , was se
riously bruised. They regard her con
dition as critical. She is 52 years old.
There were two daughters In the car
riage , besides the son. The horses
were so gentle , they say , that they
stopped in a short distance. They say
the team was not afraid of the car ,
but was forced off the grade because
Nappor , running at high speed , came
onto them.
NAPPER CLAIMS GAVE ROAD.
Machine Was on Edge of Culvert , But
He Stopped the Car.
Mr. Napper was not at home when
The News telephoned Monday , but
Mrs. Napper , who was with him in
the car at the time he met the Sch-
wictenberg carriage , says the machine
was on a culvert when they met and
In spite of the danger of going off , Mr.
Napper turned to the very edge , giving
more than half the road. She says
the carriage driver did not hold up
his hand to request the machine to
stop. In driving down on the grade ,
the buggy capsized. She says Mr.
Napper feels very sorry the accident
happened , but did all he could and
was in no way responsible for it. If
no bad gone any further to the edge
of the culvert , the car would have cap
sized and the occupants likely killed ,
she says.
When his machine'was new last
fall , Mr. Napper ran into a bridge ,
sending a beam clear through the
front end of the car.

SWAMP FEVER IN HORSES.
Government Telia How to Treat Dls-
ease Prevalent In Nebraska.
The United States department of
agriculture continues to receive reports -
ports Indicating the prevalence of robe
swamp fever or infectious anemia ot
' horses In sections of Minnesota , Kan
sas , Nebraska , Wyoming , Montana ,
North Dakota , and Texas , where con-
Bldorablo losses have resulted. The
disease occurs mainly In low-lying and
poorly drained sections , although U
has been discovered on marshy pas
tures In altitudes as high us 7,500 foet.
It Is also more prevalent In wet sea
sons than In dry ones.
The disease begins to manifest It
self by a dull , listless appearance and
general weakness , the animal tiring
easily. This stngn Is followed by a
Maggc-rlng , swaying , uncertain gait ,
the hind legs being mostly affected.
The temperature generally remains
high for several days and then drops
to rise again at Irregular Intervals ,
The horse may Improve for a time , but
usually this temporary Improvement In
followed by a more severe attack than
at first. The quantity of urine passed
Is sometimes enormous , death finally
occurring from exhaustion. If the dis
ease Is uncomplicated It will run a
chronic course and usually terminates
fatally In from two months to a much
longer period.
Although the treatment of the dis
ease has not been In all cases satis
factory , an antipyretic of 40 grains
of quinine , 2 drams of acetanllld , and
ItO grains of powdered mix vomlca
four times dally has greatly reduced
the mortality. In the last stages with
weak heart , alcohol should bo substi
tuted for acetanllid. Cold-wator
sponge baths may be given and In ad
dition frequent copious Injections of
cold water per rectum , to reduce the
temperature and stimulate the bowels ,
which usually show a tendency to be
come torpid during the fever. Giving
purgatives should bo avoided unleso
absolutely necessary on account of
their debilitating effect , but laxative
and easily digested feed should bo
given instead. Sometimes a dirty , yel
lowish tinge of mucous membrane is
observed , In which case 20 grains of
calomel in from 2 to 4 drams of aloes
In a ball , or 2-drnm doses of lluld ex
tract of podophyllln may bo given.
After the fever has subsided a tonic
of the following drugs in combination
should be given : Arsenlous acid , 2
grams ; powdered mix vomlca , 28
grams powdered chlnchona bark , 8J >
grams * j ; powdered gentian root , 110
grams. These should bo well mixed
and one-half tablespoonful given at
each feed.
The healthy animals should be sep
arated from the sick , and the Infected
stable , stalls , litter , and all utensils
thoroughly disinfected. The disinfectant
tt
tant t may be made of the compound
solution of crcsol , carbolic acid , or
cblorid of lime , mixing G ounces of
any ono of these with one gallon of
water and applying liberally to all
parts of the stable.
