A WEALTHY POLICEMAN. DRIVES TO DUTY IN A MOTOR
CAR.
A Chicago polleeman, (says the "Central News), recently married the wealthy widow of a brass- founder whose fortune is estimated at £200,000. He continued on duty in the force and every morning he drives up to the station in a fashionable motorcar to answer the roll-call.
He lives in a big mansion, and has servants to polish his buttons.
When he is off duty the wealthy constable patrols his estate as a country gentlema... He has been granted leave of absence this sum- mer to accompany his wife on a trip to Europe.
Follow-members of the force aay the possession of a big bank bal ance has given him no "side."
"SEVEN SİSTERS" SAVED.
The Seven Sisters cliffs at East- bourne and the downs behind them have been saved from building operations as a result of a loan of £5,000 from Mr. W. C. Campbell, of Eastbourne. To enable the land to be purchased in the cfipulated period £18,000 was required, and the Pre- Committee had raised Bervation £13,000. Mr. Campbell had previ- ously given £2,000,
The land has now been conveyed 6.46 from the building syndicate to Mr. 6.47 Campbell, who will hold the deeds 6.47 until the outatanding £5,000 is sub- 6.47 scribed, when the land will be 6.48 banded over to the National Trust.. 6.48 The transfer was announced at a 6.48 meeting at Eastbourne of the com 6.49mittee of the Preservation Fund.
