1 ? that Joseph De Dong had reached
the Bfl of 100 and had done most of
it in Williamsburg.
Thi? is a real nlce llttle thing to
Rcromplish. hut Mr. De Long lose. tWfl
marks because he never saw a caharet
show or tried to oross the street ln
front of a l'nited States mall automo?
bile truck.
And this is a good paragraph to use
in making an apology. The reporter
ivho went over to No. 62 Devoe street.
Williamsburg. on this story ls a new
man and didn't realize that instant dis
charge follows a failure to learn
whether a centenarian has dusted off
ihe IOO mark by drinking and smok?
ing nll his life or doing neither. It ifl

a story appears, detailing that great

5f thelr children. And whenever one
Df th'- other kind is prlnted it encour
Iges a PBraen Of habits to sneer at the
water wagon and Dr. Pease.
But the reporter didn't find out any?
thing about this feature. and tt is to
be hoped that this omisslon won't
break you all up.
Excitement? Oceam of It.
The old gentleman knew on Monday
night that hls sixty-six lineal descend
ants were eroing to stlok a page Into

Hghtfl and stunts and parades yester?
dav-, sn instead of assuming a horizon
tal position beneath the quilts at his
scheduled hour of 7 r- Bfl*. he tried to
wait up like a child Eor Santa Claus.
And he had everyhody in thnt frame
bOUflfl of hls busy trying to conceal
Japanese lnnterns and flags and bunt
.: c and a big birthday cake with the
guceess that usually attends such nerv?
ous efforts. Realizing that he'd spoll
the whole show unless he communed
ivith the mattress, he went to bed at
10 o'clock.
Daarn fuund him waggingr his pointed
beard above the sheets and wondering
when the excitement was going to be?
gin. He was as UllUUfl ns < harlle
Murphy reading a newspaper, so he
got up and looked around tr. see what
the night had brought forth. Ix>oklng
from his window he saw that Japanese
lanterns blossomed on every house
front on the block and that his birth
_ay had brought out as mnny flags
Bnd deeoration. as if he had reduced
the cost of living.
He got through the rrrorning wlth
put dolng any handsprings ln his ex
cess of happiness, and he went through
bis noon meai wlth fervor and lnten

?wlth such evident enjoyment that the

tFoon appeared a brass band with

"Die Wacht am Rhein" so vigorously

Xiver in the face of such a gale.
lt iame time for the parade. It was
called a parade because lt couldn't be
called anything else. You can't call a

but a parade.
When the enthusiastlc brass bandits
?no offence. professor?had carried
themselves on theli own music to a
secure stand at Lorlmer and Devoe
streets. and had begun to create
pockets in the atmosphere, Mr. De
I.ong, smiltng like a dental advertise?

CROWD ATTACKS RECTOR

Women and Men Mob the Rev.
A. C. Wiison After Accident
?Police Rescue Him.
Hvman Solomon, slx. nnd his brother
Joe, s* vrn, of No 11? Amboy street,
Brooklyn. bought frankfurters and rolla
on their departure from Public Schooi lifi,
Graftnn street nnd Sutter avenue, yeater?
day afternoon and started for th.lr home,
eating the food.
CrOflHri?g the street wlth a number of
other chiidren, they did not notice the
approach of an automobile eontainlng the
owner, the Rev. Dr. Andrews chaimers
"Wiison, rector of St. Paul's Protestant
Episcopal C-?Kh, <'linton and Carroll
6treets, and hls curate, the Rev. Dr. Peter
Rose.
The maehine. guided by Dr. Wl'son,
made Its way alowly along flrafton street,
Dr. Wiison being very careful because of
the numerous chiidren and pushoarts. but
even thls rare was not availing, for
Hyman, his eyes on what he was eating,
stepped suddenly into the street. and be?

the machlne body, Jammed his head

The clergymen sprang from the maehine
and had lifted Hyman, when an ex'Mted
man pulled the boy from their arms and
ordered that a physician be summoned.
Dr. Wiison and hls asslstant, to get aid,
entered the auto and started off. but thelr
action was misconstrued and a cry was
ralsed that they were _r*JJ___ to csrape.
Immediately men and women ran to the
car, and while the women tried to
scratch the faces of the clergymen the
men struck them and attempted to tear
off thelr clothes.
Policeman Price came in time to pre?
vent any real trouble. He held the crowd
off and summoned an ambulance surgeon,
who found that Hyman was dead. The
clergymen went to the Prownsvllle StSv*
Uon, where th.-y satlsfled the Iieutenant
that the accident was unavoldable.
SURROGATE MUCH ANGERED
Cohalan Rakes Litigant Over
Ooals for Criticism.
Surrogate Cohalan yesterday resentod
an Intimatlon that he had declded n eaae
eontrary to law and that he was a'-tuated
by rellglous motives Willlam K. Irving,
who nu.ved wlth hls wife. Ethel, to have
Charles W. Irving. a brother of William,
removed as executor of the estate of thulr
father, Wllllam Irving. was th? person on
whom the Surrogate vented hls lndigna
tion.
"When this proceedlng waa on before
me before, and after I had decided in
favor of the other side," eald th? Surro?
gate to Irving, "you atated to a number
of people that I had be*n "reached ' Ato
you still of that opinion0"
livlng denled maklng the atatement
even after the Surrogate said that he
had made lt "all over Fordham." The
SurroRate said It came to hlm as "matter
of common rumor from flfty souroee."
Irving asserted he didn't belleve the ac?
cusation against the Surrogate and in
sisted he had never utttred lt.
"There was lota of talk about the case,"
aaid Irving, "but I never said you had
been 'reached.' "
The Surrogate asked just what Irving
dld say. and he replled:
"I said it looked funny ln the face of
the evldence, and that is all I did say."
The Surrogate, asked:
"What did you mean by that?"
Tho stummeied reply of Irving was not
satisfactory to Surrogate Cohalan. Ho
said that Irving shouid have appealed if
he thought the Surrogate was wrong, but
he had no right to constitute himseif the
Court of Appeals or the Appellate Dlvl
Bion.
Finally Irving said. after the Surrogate
declared he must publicly withdraw his
statement:
"I withdraw any statement I have made
that. rctlects on the court in any manner,
ahape or form I withdraw anything."
Surrogate Cohalan then refused to hear
the case further, sending it to Surrogate
Fowler. He added:
"l do not want. after deculing a case,
to be crlticised by every blaekguard that
walks along the st're.t. lf a rnan fOOS tO
