FIGHT DUEL TO DEATH
■* ’ OVER GIRL tN HOTEL
ERIE. Pa., May 25.—Two men, one
armed with a razor and the other
with a butcher knife, fought a duel
to the death In the basement of the
Colonial Hotel, a rooming house on
Ninth street. One is dead and the
other dying in Mamot Hospital.
The fight started over a girl em

was killed in the duel, came home
from work and accusel William
Burke of trifling with the affections
of the girl, whose name the police
refused to divulge, then drew a raz
or, it is alleged and slashed Burke
several times across the face.
Burke managed to get hold of a
long butcher knife lying on a nearby
table and plunged it into Haley's
back. The knife broke at the hilt,
the 9-inch blade remaining in Haley's
body.
In his dying agony Haley slashed
Burke across the wrist, almost sev
ering his right hand. Haley came here
from Brighton, Mass., and was 38
years of age. Burke is a native of
Scranton and is 40.

SIX SHIPS SINK UNDER
SAILOR; STICKS TO SEA
NEW YORK. May 25.—Stewart
Sgringer was eighteen years old when'
he sailed from here on Aug. 6, 1914.
He has returned an old man, broken
in health and with shattered nerves.
Few lads of twenty—and few grizzled
veterans of the sea, for that matter—
can boast or bewail the experiences
thru which he has passed since his
last vTsit.
Spring is cook of the British freigh
ter Pearlmoor, now docked at Mon
tague street, Brooklyn. Back in Car
diff, Wales, he has a wife.
The ship on which he last left New
York was captured and sunk by the
Karlsruhe. After forty-eight days
aboard the raider he was landed with
other prisoners at Tenerift'e. His next
adventure came on May 1, 1915. He
was aboard a French bark bound for
England when, off the Scilly isles, he
witnessed the sinking of the American
tanker Gulflght by a submarine.
On July 22 fpllowing, he was a
member of the crew' of the British
freighter Aldenwing, which struck a
mine in the Bay of Biscay and went
down. The next month he was- on a
French freighter, again in the Bay
of Biscay, when she was torpedoed.
Shortly before Christmas, 1915
(Springer had shipped on the Norwe
gian freighter Frankstream, She was
torpedoed in the English Channel. A
few weeks later found him a member
of the crew df a British transport at
the Dardanelles dfring the evacua
tion. The transport was torpedoed,
and the captain was compelled to
beach the vessel finder fire from the
Turkish positions. Two machine bul
lets struck Springer in the knee.
His last experience was aboard a
transport in the North sea at night.
This time the. boat struck a mine.
LEARN TO SAVE
Acquire tha Habit af Spending Laaa
Than Yau Earn.
Americans are not as thrifty aa the
|»eople of many other nations. Hav
ings hank statistics show this. Our
money comes too easily, even in nor
mal times. We feed the garbage [tails
too well. We Ignore the little short
nits of economy. We forget the com
ing rainy day in our enjoyment of the
present fair day.
And If savings hank reports are not
enough, turn to the figures of the acui
ties. See how few men. for instance,
reach the period of natural retirement
witli enough of an estate accumulated
to keep them through the, remaining
years of their lives. See how many
are compelled to toil for a dally pit
tance lieyond the time when they
•diould hare the privilege of retiring
to ease on the income of tiieir savings
nr are left stranded because unable to
work.
All industry is built on the savings
of those who at some time have learn
ed the wisdom of putting aside some
portion of their earnings as an invest
ment. Abolition of thrift would mean,
the abolition of organized business. It
would hardly lie an exaggeration to
«ay it would mean the abolition of civ
ilisation itself.
Save-save a little. c«ei me uaun
of spending less than your Income.
Make some banker your friend. Have
a stake in tbe community. Stretch tbe
pay envelope a little farther than
merely to tbe next pay day. Buy a
home. Don't float: anchor!
Trite words, these. Certainly. But
It is astonishing how many people
there are in the United States who
have never taken them to heart.—
Cleveland l’lain Dealer.
MAN AND HIS NECKTIE.
The Mystery Thst Cloaks tho Fats of
Discarded Cravats.
Every morning we stand before tbe
mirror, flap tbe large end over and
around, push it behind and up draw it
carefully through. It liecomes a habit,
and yet. like dining. It has a certain
fascination. The keen pleasure of a
new and uncroased cravat helps to
make a whole week brighter. And that
dread day when a w hite spot appears
in tlie center of the front of our favor
ite green one or when the beloved
brown parts internally and while ap
pearing the same without tells us that
it is gone forever- that U/iy our coffee
is bitter and tlie mercury low.
Rut we never cruelly desert a faith
ful friend. For a couple of times after
the white spot appears we try to tie it
farther tip or low down, usually with
pathetically ineffectual results. And
then we pasture it back somewhere on
the rack with the bow ties that are not
to our taste any more and ♦ lie selec
tions made by a worthy aunt at a re
duction sale and let it enjoy a quiet old
age.
Somehow eventually it disappears.
We <U> not know how. Perhaps a care
less maid drops it in a wastebasket or
a plotting wife makes way with it.
But most probably, like old watches
and college textbooks, it has some un
seen heaven of its own whither it is
wafted after i*s life among us Is over.
—Atlantic Monthly.
Got His Answer.
She was a demure little woman, with
a baby. As the car was crowded with
shoppers, she did not put up the little
one, who was old enough to sit up, on
the seat beside her. She carried it on
her lap and made room for a fierce
looking big man, with a newspaper.
The child kicked its tiny legs In delight
at the strange things it saw while rid- .
lug along, and its shoes rubbed the
man’s trousers.
"Perhaps, madam," be exclaimed,
"you imagine that this conveyance is

"Ob, no; 1 don’t,” was the prompt re

Poor Economy.
“When I bought my phonograph I
bad an Idea that we’d snve money by
hearing good music at home.*
“Well, didn’t yon?” ;
“Not a bit of it. Every time we get
a record that we like my wife Is never
satisfied until we have gone to a con
cert or the opera and heard the same
music at first band, and every time we
do that she hears a lot more music she
wants records of.”—New York World.
