SEVENTY YEARS A TEACHER.
Oldest Instructor Back at Desk on '
Eighty-Eighth Birthday.
Dr. Zephaniah Hopper, who has
devoted more time to the profession
of teaching than any other man in
history, celebrated his eighty-eighth
birthday by teaching a class at the
Boys' Central high school, Phiiadel*
* " * ' ' ' * ? ~ Vv /\

a professor for fifty-five years.
The venerable educator has been
connected with the schools of this
city for exactly seventy years. During
that time he has taught thousands
of boys who later became lawyers,
doctors, engineers, mayors governors
and statesmen.
To-day when he mounted the platform
at the Central High school he
was cheered by the boys and congratulated
by some of the most prominent
of Philadelphia's citizens.?N.

MISTOOK IT FOR CANDY.
Many Children 111 from Eating Tablets
Scattered by Wreck.
Mount vernon, umo, kjvi. o.?oc?eral
hundred Mount Vernon children
are ill to-day as the indirect result of
a Baltimore and Ohio freight train
wreck near here yesterday. A large
shipment of medicine in tablet form
was scattered from one of the cars
and the children filled their pockets.
The tablets fqund their way into
the hands of nearly every child in the
city by the time school was out yesterday
afternoon. To-day practically
every local physician was kept busy
treating the children. Several of the
cases are said to be critical.
When the Ice Broke Up.
Every year the famous ice-bridge
at Niagara tempts hundreds of people
out upon its beautiful, although dangerous,
highway. The bridge is formed
by the piling up of the ice-cakes
that conje thundering over the falls.
These cakes, together with the snow
and ice and frozen spray, soon form
a solid bridge across the river below
the falls. Three lives were actually
lost on the breaking up of the
ice this winter, and narrow escapes
occur almost every year, for the
bridge rarely given warning 'of its
collapse. The incident described here
occurred several seasons ago. It was
a usual winter's day, and to. the
crowd the bridge seemed quite as
oofo o c over
OU&V M>tf v/ T V*
Sudenly a warning cry rang out,
as the great mass of ice was felt to
tremble. A great gap appeared in
the middle of the bridge, then more
cracks; soon cakes began to split off
and go whirling down the river. The
terifled people who, a moment before,
had felt themselves in perfect
security, rushed panic-stricken toward
the shores. They scrambled
over the hillocks of ice, or leaped
across fissures which opened sudenly
at their feet. In spite of the difficulties,
however, all but three managed
to reach the shore; a man and
woman and a boy were left on the
ice.
The man and the woman were hastening
to the Canadian^ide of the riv'
er; no one knows what had delayed
them. The ice was breaking up rapid.
ly now, and the couple toad a hard
time keeping on solid ice. They had
almost reached the shore, when suddenly
the woman seemed to give way.
For an anxious moment she wavered
on the brink of the water; as she
started to fall the man sprang to her
side and bore her back. They pushed
on, the man supporting the woman..
Hand in hand, they made a
desperate leap on to ant ice-cake, and
thence to the shore. They were safe,
but only by the narrowest of margins.
They had already sprung from
the ice-cake, when a great mass of
. ice bore down on it and smashed it
into pieces.
The boy, meanwhile, was in an
even more precarious situation. He
had started for the American shore,
become confused, and at the last moment
turned back to the Canadian
side. His change of mind was costly,
for the ice was now going to
pieces on all sides. -Suddenly the
piece on which he was standing broke
' away, was seized in the full grip of
the current, and whirled rapidly
down the river. The water was full
of thundering, crashing cakes, which
threatened at any moment to smash
the peice on which the boy was. With
the greatest difficulty, he managed
to maintain his position, and by good
luck, his floe kept free from the rest.
On toward the bridge they swept
with ever-increasing velocity, toward
a jam which had formed by the
bridge and the projecting shore. It
cqotoq/? incn-5 + oVilo t Vl Q t tVlO

would be hurled against that jam;
already the horrified onlookers could
see the catastrophe. But the boy had
not lost his presence of mind. Crouching
on the ice, he waited for the
shock. It came, with a terrible
splintering crash, but a moment before,
the*boy had leaped high up on
the jam. He managed to secure a
hold, and to draw himself up out of
the reach of the ice. From there
willing hands lifted him to safety.?

ENDS GANGSTER'S CAREER.
"Big Jack" Zeelig Slain on New I
York Streets.
New York, Oct. 5.?"Big Jack"
Zeelig was shot and killed to-night. f<
The East Side gang leader and pros- ii
pective witness in the trial of Police r
Lieut. Chas. Becker, for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, a
which will begin Monday, was seat- w
ed in a 2d avenue open surface car r
when Philip Davidson, who says he s
is a fruit dealer jumped on the run- n
ning board and fired the fatal shot. v
Davidson leaped from the car and a
ran away, but was caught, pistol in n
hand. He admitted the shooting and a
declared it was for revenge, the po- s
lice say. According to the prisoner, i:
Zeelig, had held him up at the point d
~e ? .nvftimr loto +n_r1av in an East s
VJ JL a ICVUlY^l x C4.IV/ WV M? __
Side hallway and robbed him of e
$400. The police received reports that
Zeelig had been lured to the p
scene of the shooting by a telephone U
message and this is being investigated.
Zeelig, mortally wounded, was j,
rushed to Bellevue Hospital, but died n
in the ambulance. On his body, the h
police say, only $2.34 was found, al- t.
though a well-dressed woman, whose T
identity was not learned, visited the ^
Bellevue morgue not long after Zee- H
lig's death and asked the authori- "
ties to turn over to her $500, which ^
she said Zeelig had in his possession r<
when he was shot. The woman was ^
detained by the morgue authorities,
they stated. The police also detain- ^
ed Hyman Giverth, an East Side res- c
ident, as a material witness. Giverth c<
says he saw the shooting.
Little is known about Davidson. He ^
told the police, they say, that he came ^

five or six days ago. He had been a Q
fruit dealer, he said, but was not now
in any business.
Bats East Mosquitoes.
There is a man in Texas who has >
found out a new way to fight the mosquito.
His name is Dr. Charles R.
Campbell. He is official bacteriologist
of the city of San Antonio. ^
His idea is to employ bats as mos- b
quito fighters. The neighborhood of J
San Antonio is especially plagued by n
mosquitoes?malaria is more or less i
rife in the vicinity?and for a long t
time past the inhabitants of the Q
municipality and its suburbs have ^
eagerly sought to find a soliition of e
the problem. Much benefit has been c
obtained by keeping minnows in cis- *
terns and ponds?these small fish r
being greedy devourers of mosquito e
larvae?but such measures have not E
altogether met requirements. ?
Bats, as is well known, are insect t
eaters, and are particularly fond of 1
mosquitoes. In the twilight, when
they rove abroad, they destroy immense
numbers of the pestiferious in- isects?their
manner being to dash g
back and forth through the swarm u
and gobble the victims up by the ?
wholesale.
In view of which fact, it occurred c
to Dr. Campbell that it might be a ^
god idea to establish in and about
San Antonio a number of "bat a
roosts" as he calls them?that is to say,
structures so contrived as to in
- tt ^
vite bats for sleeping purposes, no
has already put up two of them, and
proposes to erect others, those al- \
ready In operation having proved v
highly successful. *
The question which naturally suggests
itself off-hand, on what plan
or pattern should a dormitory for
bats be constructed? And again, when
once it is built, how are the little
winged mammals to be induced to
take up their residence in the quarters
so kindly provided for them.
There are no windows, but opportunity
of entrance is offered to the
bats by a series of horizontal openings
so arranged as to resemble the
slats of ^n ordinary window shutter.
The whole building is thirty feet high
the upper twenty feet being the inclosed
portion, and the slatted ar- L
rangement runs up each of two sides j
for a distance of sixteen feet. g
FOUND WITH THROATS CUT.
Mother Thought Responsible for
Death of Self and Baby.
Scranton, Fa., Oct. 5.?in a gas
filled room the bodies of Mrs. John
Walsh and her baby were found at
their home here to-day with their
throats cut. It is believed that Mrs.
Walsh, after cutting the baby and
herself, turned on the gas to make
death certain.
Several other members of the family
were*overcome by the gas.
Xot Quite Ready. I
A friend of ours is thinking of buy- v
ing an automobile. But he isn't quite s
ready yet. The other day we propounded
unto him the following s
query: *
"Why don't you quit borrowing au- c
tomobiles from your friends? Every v
time you borrow one you smash it. *
Why don't you get one of your own?"
"Veil, I tell you. I can't drife a
