CONGRATULATIONS FOR LYNCH Baseball Men Flood New National League Head With Messages. New Britain, Conn., Dec. 20.—Thomas J. Lynch, elected president of the Na tional Baseball league in New York, is receiving congratulations from all over the country, many of them from base ball friends of bygone days when he was umpiring in the major league. Some were from some of the worst CONEY ISLAND. THOMAS J. LYNCH. kickers in the league at that time over decisions which were given. Jim O’Rourke of Bridgeport was one of the first to wire President Lynch. The message was brief and to the point: “Sincere congratulations and good cheer.” John M. Ward said, “Accept my sin cere congratulations on your election.” Jacob C. Morse wired: “Rejoiced at the good news. Success to the new ad ministration.” Robert W. Brown of Louisville, who received four votes in the contest for the presidency, offered this: “Congrat ulations to you with all my heart.” le Millions it Takes In Mostly In j Nickels and Dimes. ! During the season last summer seven to eight million people made 20,000,000 •trips to Coney Island. They spent there $45,000,000, mostly in nickels and dimes, and the total sum was three times what this nation paid to Na poleon for Louisiana or six times what we paid Russia for Alaska. There are in Coney Island peanut stands the size of a broad top desk which rent for $1,500 a season. The men who sell frankfurters pay enor mous sums for the right to stand where they do and get their money back in the nickels of the twenty mil lions. On week days the attendance is large, but on Sundays and holidays it rises to a point where each visitor has room only to be happy standing ' still. On the Fourth of July 400,000 , people crowded into the little island, I bathed, shot the chutes, were photo- ' graphed and ate “redhots.” It was believed then that Coney would not hold a single additional visitor, but on Aug. 15 a new hundred thousand came, making half a million in one day. It is a w o n d e r f u l b u s in e s s , t h is C o n e y Island, but a very risky one. The 000,- 000,000 nickels depend upon the weath er. When the mercury drops, profits fall to nothing. If a plague should break out and the island be quaran tined, boats would stop running and the people would stay in their city homes. The Coney Island farmer 1 must harvest his crop of nickels while I the sun shines.—Success Magazine.

Fair; continued cold; moderate west erly winds. Mr. Hewlett and America. Maurice Hewlett has never been in America. “I have never been and I : do not know that I shall ever go,” is ’the way Mr. Hewlett puts it recently. “It seems to me that it would be a terribly upsetting journey, and I hate to be upset. I know that 1 should loathe New York just as I loathe Lon don, which I hate so much that I al ways write there, because there is nothing pleasant to distract me.” ■ When Mr. Hewlett is writing he lives in the exclusive Northwick terrace, hard by St. John’s wood, in a house of white stucco, brass trimmed and bor dered with flowers. He has, however, a favorite country place near Salis bury, where, as he puts it, “the life is so adorable that I have not strength of mind sufficient to give it up and tie myself to my desk.” The dislike of travel may be at the root of Mr. Hew lett’s disinclination to come to Ameri ca, or something else may be. “You raging Americans,” he said to a com panion recently—“you raging Ameri cans do not conceal your feelings well. There is no reason why you should.”— Argonaut. P a c ific’s F irst C o n c r e te P ier. The first co n c r e t e p ier on the P a c ific coast, and a big one it is, has been completed recently. Extending in a straight line 1,600 feet out into the Pacific ocean, this latest example in wharf construction is at Santa Monica, where the longest wharf in the world —the Southern Pacific railroad’s pier af Port Los Angeles—is already locat ed. So far—and the piles of the land ward end of the new pier have been in position for several months—the sea has not made the slightest impression on the concrete posts. Teredos', those sea worms which make the life of the wharf builder a continuous nightmare, are powerless to penetrate the new piles. Barnacles cling to them in small numbers, but can do no damage, while the strongest waves of the sea break aimlessly against the smooth concrete and without deleterious results to the wharf which they support.—Cassier’s Magazine.

Y., Dec. 20.—After a desperate battle with three safe blow ers whom her husband, a Long Island railroad employee and a Nassau coun ty deputy sheriff, had surprised in tht general store of Thompson Bros., Mrs. Dorothy Golden, young and pretty, saved William Golden from almost in stant death by putting the thieves to flight with a club. So vigorously did the woman wield her weapon after her husband’s re volver had been knocked from his grasp that only one of the burglars -escaped. One, shot by Golden, is now in the Nassau hospital at Mineola. Another, knocked unconscious by the plucky wo man, is in a cell at Oyster Bay. The third was hotly pursued by a sheriff’s posse. Golden after his wounds were dressed joined in the hunt. Awakened by the sounds of the bat tle, neighbors found Mrs. Golden stand ing over the unconscious forms of her husband and the two “yeggmen.” Wo manlike, she fainted when help ar rived. Wheu she revived her first thought was for her husband. Not until she was sure that he was but slightly hurt did she tell the story of the fight. The wounded man is Thomas Fitz patrick, thirty-nine years, of the Bow ery. The other prisoner is Peter O’Connor, also of the Bowery. Am a l.
