A court martial -was being held on board the Hlbernla at Malta for the trial of a gunner who had been drinking not wisely, but too well. The evidence had been taken, the finding de cided on and the court cleared to consider the sentence. The court was re opened and the prisoner ushered' in Ilardly had he crossed the threshold when, to the astonishment of the mem bers of the court, he threw himself face downward, uttered a wild shriek and pleaded piteously for mercy. Ev ery one looked at the president, and the reason for the prisoner's strange behavior at once dawned on their per plexed minds. The president's hair on top was conspicuous by its absence, and in private life he invariably wore a black skullcap. Now, the Hibernia was one of the draftiest ships in the navy, and the deliberations had been somewhat long, so in the prisoner's absence the president had covered his head with its usual protector, but on the man's re-entry quite forgot to hide it by putting on his cocked hat. The unfortunate gunner, whose nerves were somewhat unstrung as a result of his recent debauch, jumped at the conclusion that the wearing of the black cap by the president signified that he was to be hanged for his offense, instead of which his punishment turned out ot be a few days in the cells. London P. T. O. Robbing the Mail. General Post Office, Dec. 17, 179G.

BODY UNIDENTIFIED

Indiana Harbor Man Says Remains Are Not His Brothers, The body of the floater found Monday afternoon in Lake Michigan off Eighty-sixth street, still remains unidentified at Lulinski's' morgus, S324 Superior avenue. Yesterday a woman by the name of Mrs. Schrader, spent several hours In the morgue in an effort to identify the body, and finally sent to Indiana Harbor for her brother, who arrived in South Chicago during the afternoon, but failed to recognize the remains as those of his brother, who disappeared seven weeks ago. Although there might have been a marked resemblance in the two men, Mr Schroeder was positive that the body in the morgue was not that of his brother and late in the afternoon returned to his home. Owing to the badly decomposed condition of the body. It will be impossible to hold the remains only a few days, awaiting any possibility of identification. At the coroner's Inquest yesterday afternoon over the body, an open verdict was returned. During the inquest a small cut was found on the head and for a time there seemed aj possibility that the verdict might be delayed until this could be investigated more fully, but later it showed that it was caused from coming In contact with a rock while in the water. CAUGHT Ifjjl CHUTE Eugene Peterson is Almost Strangled Mother Rescues Him. One of the narrowest escapes from death on record throughout the East Side was recorded yesterday morning when Eugene, the three-year-old son of Ellis Peterson, 10358 Avenue L, nar rowly escaped death by hanging in his father's barn. The little youngster was playing In the back yard when he took a notion to go into the hay loft where he accidently stumbled Into a trap-chute rtat is used In conveying hay to the horses Deiow, as the little youngster fell through the loft he became caught and for fully two minutes hung suspended In the air by his waist collar, Mrs. Peterson hear ing his screams ran into the barn and rescued the little fellow. Had she not come when she did undoubtedly the boy would have strangled to death as he was purple In the face when she re leased him. Mrs. Peterson was so frightened that it was not until this morning that she was completely over the shock. Mr. Peterson is a plumber and has relatives In Indiana Harbor and southern Lake county.

ASSOCIATIONS TO : BEJpUETTED South Chicago Business Men May Pull Off Big Stunt Shortly.

Not only will this evening by the ' regular meeting of the South Chicago ; Business Men's association, but It will ! be the first meeting held for some time by the Cheltenham Improvement as- ! sociation. The Cheltenham Improvement asso ciation at one time was one of the most prominent associations on the South Side, but during the last few years the Interest seemed to slack up and the club disbanded. A few days ago some of the more industrious business men in that neighborhood got busy and scouted through the territory to see what the businessmen thought of reorganizing. The result was that nearly every one was in favor of It. This evening has been set for the first meeting, which will be held at 253 Seventy-ninth street. Of ficers will be elected for the year of 1908 and resolutions will be drawn up. IVanta Improvements. Cheltenham wants numerous im provements which will be announced later and the business men think that the only way, or the best way to get them will be to organize an improvement association which will be used as the "Big Stick." The new organization will not In any way conflict with the South Chicago Business Men's association, but will be conducted on the same principles. A different meeting night will be set so if any of the members of the Chel tenham club are members of the South Chicago Business Men's association they can arrange to attend both meetings. From a conservative point of view there seems no doubt as to the success of the new organization, as the majority of the old members will be Interested in the new club and with their previous experience will be In line to send the club to the front as one of the leading improvement associations of the south side. Active Dovra the Line. Since the East Side Improvement as sociation was formed numerous Improvements have been secured and the members are now working toward still more. Some time during the next three months it is the intention of giving a grand banquet and smoker for the dif ferent business and improvement asso ciations through the Calumet region. This will be a monstrous affair and will bring South Chicago to the front again. The Lincoln building will in all prob ability be chosen for this affair, owing to its excellent facilities to accommo date a large number of people. His First Lesson In Astronomy.
