"Oldest Woman" Dies in Philadelphia
at Age of 109 Years A Remark
able Record.
Philadelphia Dispatch.
Philadelphia today challenges the
country to present a parallel to the
case of its oldest woman inhabitant
who died recently at the age 109
years. Mrs. Freda Vidietzky had
never been sick in bed and she died
without enduring any suffering. Her
great grandsons today present papers
to the city authorities which prove
beyond doubt that their grandmother
was 109 years of age. So far as is
known she was the only person living
who had personal recollection of Na
poleon Bonaparte.
According to her great grandson,
Philip Narmin8ky, 830 Pearce street,
at whose home she died, more than
200 direct descendants, including sev
eral children, eleven grand children
and seventy-four great grandchildren
and seventy four grand children in
this country today are mourning her
death. Narminsky says there are
three children, twelve grand children
and at least ten great grand children
living in Russia.
Mrs. Vidietzky was born at Shem
mingov, Russia, in 1804. At six years
of age her parents went to live at
Smolensk, a small town from the out
skirts, of which she watched the re
treating soldiers of Napoleon on their J
return to France. She says she was
nearly rundown by Napoleon himself,
on horseback, when she ran across
the road.'
Mrs. Vidietzky came to America af
ter the death of her last husband
when she was 99 years old. She made
the voyage in the steerage. She was
married four times, having divorced
her first three husbands. The aged
woman up to the day .of her death
aided her great grand daughter-in-law
with the housework. She read Rus
sian and Hebrew without the aid of
glasses and her hearing was excellent.
Up to two years ago she had lost none
of her teeth. She learned ya speak
English fairly well after she came to
America, and often expressed the wish
to live until Pennsylvania granted wo
men the vote.

Curious Facts About Money.
Carmi A. Thompson, Treasurer of the
United States, in Leslie's.
The average lifetime of the differ
ent denominations of United States
paper currency differs considerably;
that of the $1 silver certificate, for in
stance, being but a trifle over one
year; the $5 silver certificate, 1.9
years; the $10 gold certificate, 1.68
years; $20 gold certificate, 3.18 years,
etc. The number of pieces of United
States currency in circulation is
gradually increasing and numbered
327,329,159 on June 30, 1912. There
were 273,426,336 pieces of United
States currency redeemed during the
same period, which exceeded by 6,
218,415 the number of pieces issued
during the proceeding year. The in
creasing growth in redemptions, is
due primarily to the growth in busi
ness activities, the publicity given to
uncleanliness and alleged insanitation
of soiled notes, and the consequent de
mand for cleaner money; the grow
ing practice of payment of wages in
factories, shops etc., weekly and bi
weekly, as compared with monthly;
and growing popularity of paper mon
ey in sections where silver was for
merly in the greatest demand.
The Postmaster General.
Houston Post.
Postmaster General Burleson stands
up for what he claims to be his official
rights in the matter of changing the
rates and regulations for carrying
packages under the parcel post sys
tem. He has the support of the
Inter-State Commerce Commission in
his attitude. Chairman Clark, of the
commission, is quoted as saying: "I
am convinced that the postoffice de
partment can, ought to and will ex
tend the parcel pest until it will carry
all packages up to 100 pounds." Why
not? Secretary of State Bryan said
upon the occasion of his big blowout
that was given him upon his return
from studying transportational and
other problems in Europe, that the
time would come in his opinion, when
the government would do the trans
porting. The functions of the postal
service have like other functions as
sumed by th6 Government, been
steadily enlarging for many years.
Maxton Boy Gets Verdict of $10,000
for Mashed Foot.
Scottish Chief.
In the case of Clarence Johnson, of
Maxton vs. the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Co., for injury to foot, tried
in Lee county Superior Court last
week, Johnson was given a verdict of
$10,000 damages, the defendants tak
ing an appeal to the Supreme Court,
Johnson, who is only a boy, will have
to go through life without the full
use and strength of the injured leg,
and we hope to see the lower court
sustained, as the boy was in no way
responsible for his injury.
TALE OF A DOLLAR BILL.
A farmer went to town to spend
Some of his hard-earned dough,
And in a merry jest and just
To show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent that dollar that same day,
Down in the village store,
He thought 'twas gone forever then
An he'd use it no more.
But long before the year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbor's' order, and received
That same one dollar bill
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and friends
The most amount of good.
Four times in two years it came back,
As some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in town today,
But just two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
I know have got it still,
For 'twas to a mail order house
He sent his dollar bill. -
No more will that marked dollar
Come into the farmer's hands,
And never more will it help to pay
The taxes on his lands. '
He put it where it never can
Its work of life fulfill;
He brought about the living death
Of that one dollar bill. Ex.
