Red Bank Comuilsstoners-The Points of the Case. - There will be no crossing over the railroad track at Oakland street unless the courts compel the railroad to con ' struct and maintain a crossing. Tbi was made plain at last night's meeting o »\ the commissioners of Bed Bank. Some time ago the commissioners noti- fied the railroad company that a cross ing must be put down. In order not to incommode therailroad duringthe heigh of summer travel, the commissioners fixed the date for the construction o the crossing and the erection of gates after the summer schedule of trains had been replaced by the fall service. The matter came up before'the com missoners last night. John S. Applegate was present to represent the railroad Eufus Blodgett, the superintendent o the New York and Long Branch railroad was also present, as was atyo George V. • Sueden, who is chief clerk in the rail road office. Mr. Applegate claimed on ttehalf of the railroad that Oakland stree was not a properly laid out and trav eled road when the railroad was built and that therefore the railroad was noi required to construct a crossing. Mr Applegate afterward admitted that the road was laid out when the railroad wa built, and that inthe railroad's purchasi of its right of way Oakland street was mentioned as one of the streets 6f th< town. He claimed that the railroad bought to themiddle of the street; tha the road at that time was not traveled as a highway, but only as a by-road, th same as many other roads were then traveled in that part of town. He claimed that under these conditions th railroad could not be required to con- struct and maintain a crossing. Mr. Blodgett stated that to build tin crossing would cost about $500, and tha it would cost about $500 a year to main tain the crossing and pay a flagman He raid the railroad was not willing to go to this annual expense, but that i was willing to pay its proportionate share of an underground crossing. cost of such a crossing would be borne partly by the town and partly by thi railroads. He said further that a grade crossing at Oakland street would' be of very littli value to the town, as it would have to he closed and the gates kept down the greater part of the time on account-of passenger trains standing on the crossing every time they stopped at the station. He said the only way to avoid.blocking this crossing with passenger trains when they stopped at the station would be by cutting passenger trains-.in two at the station and conneoting them afterward, when the train was ready to start. Such a plan was impracticable. He also said that on aocount of both the danger to the public and the expense of mainte- nance, railroads would not construct grade crossings unless compelled to do so by the courts. Edmund Wilson, the counsel for the board of commission^'''!, said that if Oakland street was iy.. ;! a.' bighwuy at the time the railroad «': built, the rail road could refuse to bLud and maintain a crossing. If Oakland street was a public highway at that time, then it was the railroad's duty to construct the crossing. The commissioners declared that Oak- land street was a highway for many 'years before' the rnilroad was built' Clerk Harrison stated that he had used the street from Shrewsbury avenue to Maple avenue for his milk business long before the rnilroad was built, and- the road wus a regular highway at that time. After tho conference tho commission- ers intimated that they would iproceod with thomatter da soon as the season of summer travel was over, and that if suit woro necesRary to bo brought to compel tho railroad to build tho crossing, then such n suit would be begun.

He Will Build the Newlittle Stiver Schoolhonse-The Building Will Cost 95,908: and Must pe Com pleted September SSth. A school meeting was held at Little Silver yesterday-afternoon at which one thousand dollars was ordered raised, in addition to tbemoneyheretofore voted, to buy a lot and build a new schoolhouse at Little Silver.

' " Remlved, ThattnaBoardof Education of Shrews- bury township be authorized to purchase a lot from the John Barkalow estate, situated on tlio road leading from Little Silver to Red Bank, containing % of an acre, and the cost not to exceed 880(1. Resolved, That the Board of Education of Shrews- bury township be authorized to sell tne school building and lot situated at Little Silver, the amount realized to - be used for township schoo purposes. A Bchool meeting was held at Little Silver May9th at which the voters or- dered $5,500 raised to buy a lot and build a schoolhouse at Little Silver. The lot was to cost $500, and thia left $5,000 for the building and the school furniture. Plans for the new schoolhouse were drawn by William A. Shoemaker of Shrewsbury. The plans were very satis factory to the board of •education, but when the bids for the erection of the schoolhouse were opened it was found that the lowest bidexceeded the appro- priation available for the building by about a thousand dollars. An effort was made to cut out some of the items of ex- pense in the building, and so bring the cost of the schoolhouse within the sum available for this purpose. A sufficient reduction in the cost of the building could not be made, however, without making the building smaller. The build ing called for in the original plans was as small as would accommddate^JliB- school children, and the only recourse for the trustees was to ask for more money. A school meeting was accord ingly called for yesterday afternoon. Only ten voters-werev present a t th< meeting yesterday. Nine votes were cast in favor of raising the money and one vote was cast against it. Immediately after the school meeting was over the board of education held a meeting and awarded the contract for the building to John Youmans of Oceanic, who was the lowest bidder.

A QUEER OWL PARTY.
The Solemn Birds Respond to theWoodman's Call,
, "West Virginia seems t<vbe a favor-ite region for owls," said John Locblin•of Pittsburg, «and I was a highly
• «muBed( participant once in what theycall an owl party down there. I wascamping on a trout stream in theCum-oerland mountains, attended by JimFrazier, a grizzly old woodsman andmcnntaineer. Just as it was getting>dark one mnggy, clondy day, I was sit-ting in the cabin door smoking, andJim, after an inspection of thu sur-roundings and conditions with hisweather eye, said:
" 'This is gdinter be a fit night foran owl party.. Shell I git ye up one?'
"That was the first I heard of snch athing as an owl party., " 'I don't know what yon mean,
Jim," said I." 'This is gointer be a fit night for
an owl party,' be repeated. 'Shell I gitye up one?'
"Jim had a way of doing things andexplaining them afterward, so I knewthat if 1 wanted to learn "what an owlparty was I would have to wait and see.
"'Certainly,' I said. 'Get.me npone, of conrse.! . - •
"That was all that was said or doneabout it at the time, bnt when darknesshad settled down Jim stood np in frontof the cabin and sent oat on the nightwind a good imitation of the mournfulcry of" the hoot owl. After half a min-ute of silence he repeated the cry. Pres-ently from away off in the woods some-where came an answer, mournful andprolonged:
" "Too-whoo! Too-whoot Too-whoo-
" 'That's one old chap that'll be to•our party anyhow,'said Jim, and againhe repeated the cry. It was responded
•to by the owl, this time nearer, andnis notes had scarcely died away in thewoods when from another direction asimilar cry was heard.
" 'Two of -em,' said the old hnnter."And so be kept on simulating the
notes of the owl until his calls wereanswered from every part of the sur-rounding woods, each answering birddrawing nearer and nearer at every, re-sponse. In ten ruinates' time, from thetrees over oar heads, in front and all.around the cabin, a dozen pairs of fieryeyes were glaring down at us from thedarkness. When the old woodsman ot-tered his cry softly, a chorus of soft,cooing responses net it from the owlsin the trees. If he hnrled it in resound-ing volume at the ghostly assemblage,from each throat beneath a pair of blaz-
, ing eyes would come a collection of themcBt unearthly sounds that a hnmanbeing ever stood still and listened to.Short, staccato yelps, like the fright-ened barking of a dog; blood curdlinggurglings and gaspings, as of a personbeing strangled'; load snapping of thebooked mandibles, and a hair raisingfinale of too-wbooa, too-whoos.
"For an hour thiB exhibition waskept np by the old woodsman's deftmaneuvering, sometimes with varia-tions that were .convnlsingly ludicrousand sometimes with accompanimentssufficiently demoniacal to scare a maninto fits. After he had ceased to pro-voke the owls to farther - performancesthey remained in the trees a quarter ofan hour or more, snapping their billstogether and giving voice to variousuncanny sounds. Then they began toflit away one by one in the darkness,until they had all disappeared.
" 'Givin' owl parties is a trick that'sas old as the hills' down in this kentry,'eaid Jim. 'Owls ken be called jest likethat 'most any night, but a muggynight like thie one is the best. I don'tknow what they think they come for,bnt if tha's an owl within sound of yervoice when ye give the call—and anowl can hear considerable furder thantwo miles—it'll answer yeandgradu'lymake its way toward ye till at last itsyer company come to visit. I've had aamany as elx dozen of 'em hodnoddlnwith me all to wunst. Owls will put offeverything else they've got on hand andset and visit with yo all night if ye'llonly keep on talkin to 'erri, and they'lljaw back as fast and as eassy as ye kenjaw at them.'
"Jim, just at dnsk one evening, gotme np a whippoorwill party. By imitating the plaintive call of that noc-turnal bird bo toon had a score or moreof them fluttering noiselessly about thecabin, never lighting, but swoopingabout and keoplng up the curlouB clat-tering and snapping of their hairy beaksthat are characteristic of their kind.
" 'I couldn't do that if it wasn'tJuno,' said Jim. 'The whippoorwilldon't whistle 'cept in that month, andit's always thu ho feller that does it.That whistle is his lovo coll, and allthorn whippoorwills I hadcnperin roundhero so was of t'other BOX and WOBepeotin to Oml n mato hero bonrin thocall.'
"Jiin asanrcd mo that I could get upan owl party or a whippoorwill partyjnut as well aa lie could, but variousporeistent trials proved that ho waa•wrong. It ueumed to mo that I imitatedtlio crloa of tho owl and tho whippooi''will aa olouoly aa lio did. bnt not a roflpoufio could I rocoivo to my invitation.No oooner would Jim pipe up or hoot,though, than tho anaworu would boglnto como. It wnn moot amazing, andfrom tho way old Jim grinned I imnglno ho induced tho tent jiiot to showmo that you had to h» born in thowoods to call n») owl." "" - - -

DUMMY ALLEN'S TURTLE.
The Soup It Furnished l^or Albany'sOld Thne Epicures.
A local paper half a century ago pub-lished the following sketch, which haslost none of its amusing flavor in theintervening yeara:
"The early history of the first at-tempt at'tickling the palates of Albanyepicures with that delectable' chaos offlavors known as turtle soup was made,we believe, by the celebrated AndrewJackson Allen, better known as DummyAllen, who for many years acted asEdwin Forrest's costumer and need topersonate Caleb Quotem on the stage ina'etyle peculiar to himself. At the' timewe speak of be kept a restaurant In thevicinity of the old Green Street theaterand was a prime favorite amongylh'ebloods of the day, who made his'placea customary-resort. -.,(
"Albany was then, as now, a veryqioe village, bnt still there were somethings in Dummy Allen's cookery booknot dreamed of" in our philosophy. Hetherefore resolved to afford our ancientepicures • taste of bliss in a guise hith-erto unknown to them—to wit, turtlesoup. Accordingly publio announce-ment was duly made of the felicity instore for the lovers of good eating, and,in order that appetites might be fullywhetted, far a few days before the ac-ceptable time a sizable, alderrnanic look-ing green'turtle was allowed to prom-enade at the end of a long string uponthe sidewalk in front of Allen's estab-lishment. In due time the repast cameoff and proved a complete triumph ofkitchen art. The new and delicious giftto appetite became the town talk andshowered upon the immortal Dummyvast reputation and much gold.
"Once more and while the months ofepicures were still watering .with mem-ories of recent blisa the potent an-nouncement was reiterated; once morea decent looking turtle, 'very like theother, divulged his ample neck on An-drew Jackson's premises, to the greatadmiration of beholders; once more fas-tidious palates enjoyed select morselsof paradise from Allen's marvelousboilers, and once more did vast renownand much lucre fall to the share of theinspired costumer of the inner man.The governor's first business in themorning before proceeding to state af-fairs was to inquire whether Allen eervedup turtle eonp that day. Tidings of themiraculous food would agitate1 the sen-ate, disturb the house and drive the lob-bies wild.
"Turtle eoup became all the rage,and week after week it was eagerly de-voured. At length some sharp and per-haps envious observers thought theyremarked a striking similarity in all ofDummy Allen's turtles.

He Caught the Congregation.
How to interest and hold the atten-tion of an audience is often a. source ofmuch work and thought, but the fol-lowing incident astonished me by itspower and effectiveness: The majorityof those who worship in my congrega-tion are as attentive as any audiencein the-west. Indeed I think they areexceptional in this respect.
One Sunday morning I preached asermon on "The Good Fight of Faith."As I got warmed up my hands keptpace with my tongue. The attentionwas far beyond the ordinary. Everyeye in the house was fixed on thepreacher from start to finish. And I—ploaso do not accuse me of vanity—thought, "Surely the sermon is a goodone, or it has struok the right chord."And I felt splendid.
The service closed, and the audiencewas dismissed. As I went down fromthe,pulpit =a brother whispered a fewwords to me; then another. One ladyinvited me to her house as soon as Icould get away. A dozen or more re-peated the first brother's words. Theexceptional interest in that sermon wasdue to the faot that the seam in the armof my coat had parted, revealing a star-tling flash of whiteness at every gesture.
If. attention lags, part a seam.'

Pawnshops and Banks.
The original pawnshop is difficult tolocate. From earliest times and withall peoples the system of pledging effectsas security for advances in money hasexisted in some form. In this earlyperiod all 'those who' accepted pledgesas, security for loans were not pawn-brokers in the sense that we today usethe term.
Of the antiquity of pawnbroking weare assured, but are without a clew asto what may have been its process ofmetamorphosis from the time of theJewish law to that of the Roman. Itsanalogy to banking, the fact that thepawnbrokers later became bankers,would lead to the conclusion that pri-vate pawnbrokers existed long beforethe state took cognizance of the busi-ness. It seems probable that the con-Btant taking of articles in pledge, whichof necessity demanded their safe keepingto secure the repayment of the loan,suggested the like deposit of money andvaluables. In this case the progenitorof the present banking system was orig-inally a pawnshop instead of a bank,which, later took up the pawn business.

Railroad Crossings.The conference between the Red Bank
commissionera and the representativesof the New York and Long Branch rail-road last night made it plain that therailroad would not construct a" crossingover Oakland street unless it was com'pelled to do so by the courts. It wasalso made evident that the rights claimedby the town and by jthe, railroad wereconflicting; both parties laying claim tothe ownership of the street at the point
. in question. 'In such a case as th!s the duty of the
commissioners is to ascertain at once theexact rights of the town to, that street.When the right of a community to one
. of its highways is disputed by a corpora-tion or an individual, that communitycannot act too quickly in settling 'thedisputed question. Indeed,- one of theclaims put forward by the railroad lastnight was that the railroad had heldpossession of Oakland street for twentyyears, and that this fact alone would besufficient to give the railroad absoluteownership of the street, even if it hadbeen a public highway and a traveledthoroughfare when the railroad wasbuilt. In other words it was declaredthat the leniency of the town in' con-ducting its transactions with the rail-road, and in not heretofore compellingthe construction of a crossing on Oak-land street, had lost to the town all itsrights in that street.
The people of the town will supportthe commissioners in contesting such aclaim as this. The construction of agrade crossing on Monmouth street maybe inadvisable, as the railroad asserts.But no question of this kind should beallowed to interfere with the town gaining possession of every highway to theownership of which it is entitled. If ademand for a crossing on Oakland streetis the best method of bringing the matterbBfore the courts, that action should betaken, and the courts should be asked tocompel the construction of the crossing.Proceedings should be begun at once,•without waiting for summer travel tocease : for with all the delayB consequenton legal proceedings, the railroad trafficfor the summer of 1899 will have ceasedlong before the courts give a decision inthe case.

TOWN TALK.
Some of the men who^have been en-gaged in the fight against Mayor Packerof Seabright have given up the fight andhave sent word to Mr. Packer that they arethrough. The investigation which wasbegun in the hope of discovering some-thing detrimental to Mr. Packer is turn-ing out to be a thorough vindication forhim. Such of the summer residents ofSeabright as allowed themselves to beled by the nose by persons who had pri-vate and malicious ends to gain are appa-rently sick of the position they havetaken. The testimony at the last sessionof the investigation was convincing tothem that Mr. Packer's administrationof the office of mayor was, honest andupright, and they have notified Mr.Packer to that effect and have withdrawnfrom further prosecution of the case.
* * #The fact that the investigation has re-
vealed nothing discreditable to Mr.Packer, has, however, only made morevindictive than ever those who are pur-suing him and persecuting him for per-sonal ends. The effort was first made todefeat him for mayor at.last spring'selection. Money was poured" into thefight without stint, and according to re-ports which were brought to Red Bankon election day by parties who hadbeen to Seabright that day, as high asfifteen dollars a vote was being paid tovoters to induce them to vote againstPacker. Even with all this money,combined with threats and intimidationof various kinds wb.ich were reported,Mr. Packer, without spending a dollar tobuy votes,' was elected.
*r * »
Then came the contest to depriveMayor Packer of the office to which hewas elected. The election was contestedn the courts and an effort was made
to prove that Mr. Packer's electionwas gained through illegal votes. Thisscheme fell through, for the courts de-cided that Mr. Packer was legally elected,even without requiring him to produceany testimony. Not only wasMr. Packerdeclared legally elected by the courts, butt was not made necessary for him to pro-
duce any evidence concerning illegalvotes cast for the opposing candidate,nor was it made necessary for him tomake charges nor produce evidence con-cerning the reported bribery of voters.
* * *When Mr. Packer was a candidate for
mayor those who opposed him sought tocompel him to withdraw from the con-test by declaring that they would makecharges against him before the courtsand would cause an investigation of hisadministration to be made. Knowing;tiat he had nothing to fear, Mr. Packerrefused to withdraw. After his electionthe same influences undertook to causehim to resign, or to>make no fight againstthe effort to declare >his election illegal.Again Mr. Packer refused to be bull-dozed and again his course was upheld.Then it was asserted that if Mr. Packerwould allow those who had been fightinghim to select a man to make an investi-gation of the absconding collector's de-ficiency they would not demand an offi-cial investigation into his acts, Thiswas refused. The commissioners of Sea-bright, who had been elected to conducthe affairs of the borough, properly re-
fused to be dictated to by outsiders, andthey appointed a reputable accountantof their own selection to make the ex-amination of the affairs of the borough.
4 # #Having failed in the election before
he people, in spite of their money andtheir power; having failed to get thecourts to oust Mr. Packer from the officeto which he had been elected ; andhaving failed in their efforts to bulldozethe commissioners, these enemies of Mr.Packer could make no further progresswith their schemes except by an appealto the courts for an investigation. Therewas absolutely nothing on which todemand an investigation. No specificcharges of wrong doing were set forth ;but the demand for the investigation wasmade with the hope that something dis-creditable to Mr. Packer would be dis-covered, In making tho appeal for theinvestigation before Judge Collins,Thomas N. McCnrter, a. lawyer and asummer resident of Senbrlght, declaredthat instead of a deficiency in tho col-lector's accounts of about $1,500, ns hadbeon stated, thodeflciency of the boroughreally amounted to about $0,000, Therewas absolutely no foundation for such astatement, and tho -investigation hasproved that this declaration waB whollyuntrue ; but itBurvcd its purpose nndthoinvestigation was ordered,
,, * * *The investigation isi now nearly com-
ploted and nothing to the discredit ofMr. Pnokor lias boon learned. Mr.Paokor lmo an yot put no wltncaHpa ontho stand, but uven without having doneBO, and with only tho testimony of hieacoiisorn on record, nothing him beonHhown against him. It Is now uaid thattho noxt object of tho invcotigntorB willbo to clone tho invouljlgatlon aH BOOH nopoiwlblc, and without permitting Mr,Puokor to put wilnosM'B on tho ntund, In
the hope that some inuendoes and inain-utations which have been made duringthe investigation will be allowed-tostand as facts. In this scheme the man-ipulators of the plot are likely to be dia-,appointed, for in case such a proceedingwere attempted an immediate appealwould be taken to Judge Collins.'-whowould refuse to be a party to sucb aproposition. '
•• • • # • • •
The men behind the investigationscheme know that Mr. Packer will comeout of the investigation triumphant andtbey are already preparing a new planto get him out of office. This is nothingelse than a scheme to do away with theborough govermententirely. They failedto defeat Mr. Packer in the election,even with all the means they had atcomnand; they failed to defeat him inthe contest in the courts over the result ofthe election ; they failed to bulldoze himand his fellow commissioners when theyattempted to dictate the course of publicaction ; and'they have failed to besmirchhis character in i;he investigation whichthey have been conducting. Had any-thing been discovered which would havewarranted it, they would no doubt haveattempted his impeachment. Nothinghaving been discovered to warrant anyaction of any kind against him, it is.nowproposed to get him out of office by dis-solving the borough goverment of Sea-bright.
* * * i
Nothing more contemptible can beimagined than this long-continued andvaried attack on Mr. Packer by some ofthe summer residents of the place, aidedby a few of the permanent inhabitantswho have private interests to subserve.The decent people of Seabright, whetherthey be summer residents or all-the year-round inhabitants, have abundant, causeto ' be ashamed of their neighbors whohave engaged in this crusade.

B u l b R e l e a s e — T h i s prevents any jar to the camera and keeps the camera always set. Acut off prevents accidental exposures.
R e g i s t e r — A register or counter works automatically every time a plate is exposed and this
shows the nj£imber. of exposed plates. " • ,U n l o a d i n g — B y a door through the bottom of the camera all the exposed plates can be re-
moved without disturbing those not exposed.P l a t e Holders—These are made of alluminum, the lightest metal known, and reduce the

LOCAL HISTORICAL WORK,SCOPE OF MONMOUTH'S HIS'
TORICAL SOCIETY.
An Address Last Thursday byGeorge V. Beekman of Freeholdon Vntcritten Chapters • in theHistory of Monmouth County.Tfie Monmouth county historical so-
ciety held a meeting at the clubbouae atWater Witch Park last Thursday. Alarger number of members of the so-ciety were present than at any previousmeeting.. $• '
Getarge G. Beekman of Freehold andMrs.' Murray-Hyde of New York hadbeen invited toaddress the meeting andboth were present. The routine busi-ness of- the society occupied an hour ormore, and at the conclusion of this workMr. Beekman made his address. The ad-dress was principally devoted to outlining what should be the work of the society. He began with the discovery ofNew York harbor and Sandy Hook bayby Hendrick Hudson in his sailing ves-sel, the Half-Moon, in 1609, and he pre-dicted that in 1909 the tri-centennial ofthe discovery would be celebrated withfitting ceremonies. He believed that thecelebration of the event would be underthe direction-fif the Monmouth countyhistorical society, and he declared thatten years would be none too much timefor the society to prepare for the eventf.
Mr. Beekman showed how rich in his-torical facts Monmouth county was, andhe laid out several lines of investigationand research which he said should bepart of the work of the society. Prom-inent in this work was the gathering offacts concerning the many wrecks.whichhad occurred on the Monmouth coastsince Hendrick Hudson, the Dutch navi-gator, sailed into the bay in September,1600. He said that while a great deal ofthe facts were lost to history forever, itwas still possible to gain informationconcerning many of the wrecks by athorough examination of the papers ofNew York in the early days of thecountry, and by further investigation ofthe maritime records of the countriesfrom which those ships had sailed. Hetold of the heroism of the coast men andfisher folk in those days, when theywent out in the storm in their frail fish-ing boats to save the lives of strangers.The history of these early wrecks shouldbe compiled in connection with the his-tory of the life-saving service. When:
the local historians had done their work,and had compiled these facts, then wouldcome along a mighty story-teller likeWalter Scott, or Macaulay, and wouldweave these facts into more thrillingpassages than adorned.any of the ro-mances of the middle ages which toldof the heroism and chivalry of theKnights. In connection with his ..re-marks about the heroism of the fishermenin saving life and property, he spokeof Capt. Morris Brown, father ofThomas P. Brown of Red Bank, whowas a noted man at Manasquan and inthat neighborhood fifty years ago. Hesaid that the work of Capt. MorrisBrown had resulted in saving more livesthan it had been the good fortune of anyother man to save in the state of NewJersey.
Another chapter of history which hasas yet never been recorded is the workof the Monmouth militia in the Revolu-tion. Mr; Beekman told of the sturdymanhood of the Monmouth militia dur-ing the Revolutionary war, and of theirexcellent work in gaining liberty fdr thestruggling colonies. He Bujd that thesoldiers of Monmouth were plain farm-ers, and not men who made war theiroccupation; and because of this facttheir work and their value to the countryliad never been made known. He toldhow, in one fight between the Britishand the Monmouth militia, on theShrewsbury river near where the Nep-tune clubhouse now stands, more menwere killed than were slain in the battleof Lexington, and yet the story of thatfight was not found -in any of the his-tories of the country. This was duo to
• tho fact that tho Monmouth militia werenot seeking glory, nor military appoint-ments' and promotions, but wero-simplydoing their duty as patriots.
Tho pino robbers, and their raidsamong the farmers of Monmouth, andtho attacks of tho refugees on thopatriots of this county, formed anotherchapter of Monmouth's history of whichtho records wero incomplete. Much oftho accounts of theso niidii and attackscould yet bo discovered wero tho workproperly pursued. Theae formed a darkchapter of Monmouth'o history, but itwan ono whloh should bo written. Of
. lato ycara noraq attention had been JJIvonto tho gathering of theso talcs of out-
rage, and robbery* and murder, but theaccounts were still far from complete.
Still another duty and anotherjine ofwork for the society to prosecute, accord-ing to Mr. Beekman's ideas,-.was the mark-ing of the graves of Monmouth's Revolutionary patriots. Many of these gravesare not now-known; but the societyshould discover, from church records andfamily records, the locations of thesegraves and have them properly marked.In this connection Mr. Beekman ;statedthat it was believed by many that RobertMorris, the millionaire patriot of theRevolution, was buried in Monmouthcounty. He described ho* Robert Mor-ris gave his immense fortune of a millionand a half of dollars toward supportingthe American soldiery: After the Revolution, when Morris was a bankrupt, bebought a place near Farmingdale, wherehe lived for several years, in order toavoid "Wing thrown into prison for debt,which was the law then in New York,and in tither states a9 well. Accordingto some historians Mr. Morris was buriednear Farmingdale, while others say thathe was. buried near Philadelphia. Ineither case his grave is unmarked. Mr.Beekman said that the historical societyshould learn where Mr. Morris was buried,and if his grave should prove to be inMonmouth county, the society shouldmark his last resting place with somesort of a monument, even if it were onlya fifty-cent block of stone.
Still another line of research whichthe society could profitably prosecute,was that pertaining to the churches ofthe county. The first Baptist churchsouth of Rhode Island, the first Presby-terian church, and the first Mormonchurch of the country were organized inMonmouth county. Mr. Beekman toldof other work wliich the society shouldtake up, and his address was the mostinstructive and interesting which hasyet been made before the society.
Mrs. Murray H. Hyde followed Mr.Beekman with an account of the captureand execution of Capt. Joshua Huddy,this story, whiph is onB of the best knownof the incidents of the American Revolu-tion, was specially interesting from thefact that the' meeting of the society wasnear the spot where Huddy was hung.The occurences which led up to Huddy'scapture and execution, and the incidentswhich grew out of it, local, national andinternational, were all treated of in Mrs.Hyde's paper.
At the close of Mrs. Hyde's address re-freshments were served, and after a voteof thanks to Mr. Beekman and Mrs', Hydefor their addresses, and to the WaterWitch Club for their hospitality, themeeting adjourned. The next meetingwill be held the last Thursday in Augustat Mrs. Henry S. White, at Red Bank.

TAINTED THE SPRING.
Bow Whlahv Gap, Wvomina,Oot ItsPeculiar Name.
i One of the historic places in the westIs Whisky, Gap,' Wy. The old tlnwdwellers of mountain and plain—themen who "fought Indians and huntedbuffalo out; west" during the overlandtrain days of the early sixties—haveshrugged their shoulders at the men-tion of Whisky Gap for nearly 40years/ This Is the place, according totheir belief, where real "firewater"gushed out of the rocks; In a beautifulmountain spring to quench the thirstof a whole company of Uncle Sam'strained Indian fighters. "It was noth-,lng but pure spring water," they say;
9 "a, veritable fountain of youth."Colonel C. C. Coutant, the author of
a history of Wyoming and the pioneer.days of the west, has learned the true
' story of Whisky Gap to be somewhatdifferent from the fountain of youthfable. According to historical recordof the early days along the govern-ment overland trail, Whisky Gap re-ceived its name in 11362 during thebuilding of the overland stage routefrom Denver to Salt Lake City anJthe Pacific coast. A
The people of Denver had long beenworking to secure the regular overlandstage route, then connecting the eastand the west. In 1862 Ben Holllday,a veteran stage man, became proprie-tor of the great overland line, and heagreed upon a route running throughDenver to the west He decided to dis-continue that part of the road runningup the North Platte and the Swertwa-ter rivers and across South I^ass, Wy.The many Indian difficulties experi-enced on this route were the Induce-ments to abandon It
The new trail led by way of Jules-burg, Colo., to Denver, and on over theestablished wagon road to Fort Lup-ton, and north across Laramie plains,then due west through Bridge Pass,Wy., jotnlngF the old trail leadingacross the country to the Pacific coast.The change was made during the sum-mer of 1802. All the rolling stock,horses and other property of the com-pany were gathered at the station justabove Devil's Gate, In* central Wyo-ming. Company A of the EleventhOhio cavalry, with Major O'Farrell Incommand, was the detailed escort atat the time.
During the first day the long line ofcoaches, wagons, horses and mulesmade 11 miles from the station where
.the property had been gathered. Thejroute chosen was directly south fromthe Sweetwater river. The camp se-lected was In a gap in the mountainswhere there were a fine spring andplenty of wood for cooking purposes.
Shortly after going into camp themajor discovered that quite a numberof his soldiers were intoxicated, and heat once sent for Lieutenant W. H.Brown, who was officer of the day, andinformed him of the condition of manyof the men and gave It as his opinionthat some one was selling whisky injthe camp. The command was doingiescort duty not only for stage stockland stores, but also for a number ofemigrants who had availed them-selves of the opportunity for safe con-duct over the plains.
Lieutenant Brown received ordersto search alj^wagons, and if he shoulddiscover whisky to destroy it. Takinga corporal and three or four men, he'commenced the search for the contra-band article and found at last a barrelof whisky In an emigrant wagon. Theofficer ordered his men to roll the bar-rel out of the wagon, knock in the headand empty the contents on the ground..This was doue, but It chanced that thespot where the whisky was emptied,was just above the spring, and the'fiery liquid went pouring down Intothe water supply of the camp.
The soldiers saw what was goingon, and they rushed forward withcups, canteens, buckets and camp ket-tles to save what they could of thocoveted "spirits." Many a man stoop-ed over the spring and drank almostwithout breathing until he was drunk.
One soldier who had succeeded Ingetting a full canteen from the springpaid his respects to Major O'Farrellat the headfluarters tent, assuring h!scommanding officer, with maudlinmien and many a "hie," that that wnsthe finest spring he had ever seen and'the very best water he had' ever tasted.
Major O'Farrell was 'apprehendingan attack from the Indians thai; night,'and the condition of hls'meh fairly dls-| heartened him. Ho saw at a glancethat even a small band of savagescould make a successful raid on his'camp, consequently tlie doberand less'intoxicated men were "kept on the alertjail night. Fortunately, no Indians put|ln an appearance, and by morning the.'debauched men had slept off their Initoxlcatlon.• Thus the gap In tho mountainswhere tho enmp whs mado receivedtho namo of Whisky Gap. For mauyyears It w«s tho favprlto campingplaco for tile more credulbilB of thoold freighters iind emigrants of, tho,"trail days," but tlie little spring was1

That's a hair raising ex-petlence.' You don't know; by what,means the knowledge that it was open-ing was first conveyed to you, but, yousee It now, opening slowly and steadl"-ly and silently, and you get up andgrasp the chair in which yo°u havebeen sitting and stand up, with tinstable between you and him for fur-ther protection, and wait for him, buthe doesn't come.
"Then you go around to the door. Ithas stopped now and Is standing dead.It yleldB with no resistance except thatof its own weight when you open Itwider, and, holding to it, you lookaround the door Jamb into the hall.Silence there, perfect and complete;nobody there; those were ghostly fin-gers, If any, that turned the knob.And so you shut the door securely andgo back to your reading.
"Presently you find the door openagain, but this time there is an air ofvacancy about it, and now you realize-what It all means. The back of thocatch bolt that you turn with a knobis worn off a little, • rounded, or themetal frame around the socket Intowhich the bolt enters may be worn, orboth. Or it may be the door hasshrunk or the jamb has drawn awayfrom it, so'that only.the tip end of thebolt catches in the socket' and has aconstant tendency to work free. Theslightest shaking or jarring starts it,and gradually it works itself clear ofthe socket, and then, if it happens tobe hung just so, the door slowly opens.
"And there you are, and it Is all verysimple when you come to know aboutit, but lfs never- altogether agreeable.You never really get used to the doorthat opens."-

THE RED SHIRTS.
Convicts Who Wear Them in thePenitentiaries of California.
There are men in the penitentiariesof. California who are favored withred shirts, but they are not made par-ticularly happy thereby.
When a convict has once worn thecrimson shirt, he hopes as ardently asa convict can hope for anything thatthe warden will never make him Wearit again. It means that he has triedto escape and failed.
But that la not alL Henceforth heIs a degraded man In prison circles.His time credits are gone. Solitaryconfinement, dungeons and bread andwater may be his portion. He iswatched, suspected by the officers,pointed out and "explained" to visitorsand newcomers. Among the 700 con-victs in the jute mill his rea back maybe distinguished at a glance. If he beaway from there a njpment, the guardsknow it. Then the prison bell rin.gs.the officers assemble, bloodhounds areunchained, and the hunt begins.
Some of the red shlrters at SanQuentin are among the most daringfellows that ever .scaled a prison wall,arid every man of them has run thegantlet of guard and Gat ling gun. Any-body, in stripes who breaks for libertyis liable to be riddled with lead within60 seconds. The convicts know this,but they also know that beyond thogray stone walls there are green hillsand deep ravines and—possibly—free-dom. The man who is sentenced to dieon a prison cot is willing to stake hislife for liberty. His days and nightsare spent preparing for the game. Ifhe wins, the "cons" he leaves behindore jubilant, and many are the talesof pluck and luck they will -tell inmemoriam. As a rule, no class ofpeople stand by each other like veter-an "cons."- " • ' •. .

A HISTORICAL RIDE.
It Was Worth TJtree Stars to theAmerican Flaa.
The ride of Marcus Whitman wasever snow capped mountains and alongdark ravines, traveled only by savage,men. It was a plunge through Icy riv-ers and across trackless prairies, nride of 4,000 miles across a continentin the dead of winter to save a mightyterritory to the Union.
Compared with this, what was thefeat of Paul Revere, who rode 18 mileson a calm night In April to arouse ahandful of sleeping patriots and there-by save the powder at Concord?
Whitman's ride saved three stars tothe American flag. It was made in1842. ' . .
In 1792, during -the first administra-t e ot Washington, Captain RobertGray, who had already carried theAmerican flag around tlie. globe,,dis-covered the mouth of the Columbiariver. He sailed several miles up thegreat stream and landed and took pos-session In the name of the UnitedStates. . ' . . . .
In 1805, under1 Jefferson's administra-tion, this vast territory was exploredby Captains Lewis and Clark, whosereports were popular reading for ourgrandfathers, but the extent and valueof this dlBtant possession were veryslightly understood, and no attempt at
'colonization was made, save the estab-lishment of the fur trading, station ofAstoria In 1811.
Strangely enough, England, too,claimed this same territory by virtueof rights ceded to It by Russia andalso by the Vancouver surveys of 1792.The Hudson's Bay company establish-ed a number of trading posts and filledthe country with adventurous fur trad-ers. So here was a vast territory, aslarge as New England and the state ofIndiana combined, which seemed to bewithout any positive ownership. Butfor Marcus Whitman it would havebeen lost to the Union.
It was in 1836 that Dr. Whitman anda man by the name of Spaulding, withtheir young wives, the flrst white wo-men that ever. crossed the Rockymountains, entered the valley of theColumbia and founded a mission of theAmerican board. They had been sentout to Christianize the Indians, butWhitman was also to build a state.
He was at this time 35 years old. Inhis journeys to and fro for the missionhe soon saw the vast possibilities ofthe country, and he saw, too, that theEnglish were already apprised of thisand were rapidly pouring into the ter-ritory. Under the terms of the treatiesof 1818 and 1828 it was the tacit be-lief that whichever nationality settledand organized the territory, that nationwould hold i t If,England and theEnglish fur traders had Deen success-ful in their plans, the three great statesof Washington, Oregon and Idahowould now constitute a part of Brit-ish Columbia. But'it was not destinedto be.
In tie fall of 1842 it looked as Ifthere would be a great fnpouring ofEnglish into, the territory, and Dr.Whitman took the alarm. There wasno time to lose. The authorities atWashington must be warned. Hastilybidding his wife adieu. Dr. Whitmanstarted on his hazardous Journey. Theperils, hardships and delays he en-countered on the way we can but faint-ly conceive. His feet were.froten.'henearly starved, and once he^came verynear to losing Ills _llfe. He keptpuslilng right on, and at the end of fiveterrible months he reached Washing-ton.
He arrived there a worn, bearded,strangely picturesque figure, clad en-tirely In buckskin and fur, a typicalman of the prairies. He asked audienceof President" Tyler and Secretary ofState Webster, and It was accordedhim. All clad as he was, with hisfrozen limbs, just in from his 4,000mile ride, Whitman appeared beforethe two great men to plead for Oregon.
His statement was a revelation tothe administration. Previous to Whit-man's visit it was the general idea incongress that Oregon was a barren,worthless country, fit only for wildbeasts and wild men. He opened the,eyes of the government to the limitless wealth nnd splendid resources ofthat western territory. He told themof Its great rivers and fertile valleysits mountains covcred'wlth forests nndits mines filled uith precious treas-ures. Ho showed them that It was acountry worth keeping and that Itmust not fall Into the hands of theEnglish. He epoko as a man inspired,and his words were heeded.
What followed—the organization of.companies of emigrants, the rapid Bet'tlement of'tho territory and'the treatymade with Great Britain in 1840 bywhich 'tho forty-ninth parallel wmado tho boundary lino west of thoitOCky 'mountains aro matters of his-tory-

A GOOD ENDING.
The date, July 3. 1868; place, Vicke-burg; dramatis persons, 81,000 south-ern soldiers and. myself. ! '
The hot, dusty summer bad draggedits slow, pestilent length, until, surfeit-ed wHh the carnage, it stood blood red,feverish, giving its victims opportunityto do a little quiet writhing—to letconscience get in its work and gnawawhile. We had been penned in like BOmany animals since early May, if yonrpeaenre the period by the deliberatecalendar—for an age, if I may be per-mitted to base a calculation on my per-sonal experiences. We, at least I, badbeen growing thinner, raggeder, hun-grier, every week, every day, hour andruinate. Tbie slump into the depths ofjpbysical helplessness and sartorial dis-•xepntablenees by no means surprised•me. A man cannot wear one suit ofjelothes two yearefeat in it, sleep in it,l<&ade rivers in it and right in it andshow up fit to have a tintype made of:himself. Jft wonld have wrenched myfaculties to have fixed upon the datejwhen a tailor bad last run his tapearound me and noted the points of hissurvey by French cbalkings, and whenjl started out to slay my quota of Yan-ibees the rait I wore was discarded forone much inferior in quality, although'at the time H represented to me some-thing infinitely beyond computation in'dollars or comparison in texture. I.wae, however, a little nonplussed overmy appetite. True, I could not havestated on solemn oath or affirmation
_,when my legs had been stretched underbountifully laden mahogany. But whyeven a semblance of an appetite wasspared me waa a gastronomic puzzle.
Fora month my eyes bad met eachsights as men in the clammy throes ofdeath, men mangled by Bbelle, men withbleeding Btumps of legs and arms andcarcasses of animals rotting in the sun.|The air was foulness itself. By day the{burning sun swung.its scorching torchover this cesspool, creating odors inde-scribable. When night fell, the slimeand ooze from the ponds blown over tbecity received poisonous aids in the sul-phurous spit of the screeching shellsjfrom Porter's besieging fleet. Besides,we lived in caves or holes in the ground.;We had to. The rain of lead was terri-ble. And the ventilation of our abodeswas not up to modern sanitary require-ments. I am quite certain on thia point.Spite of all this, I had an adult appe-tite. I have never been so hungry since,nor was I ever eo hungry before.1 He was a very discerning and phil-osophic roan—or, was it a woman?—who said that clouds have silver lining.Oar cloud was even finer than tbe phi-losopher's. It was silver mounted—top-ped off with ornaments of the politicalmetal of such massiveness as to defy tbecorroding tooth. A courier passedthrough tbe camp heralding the newsthat "Old Pern" had grown weary—whether of commanding 82.000 skele-tons with ravenous appetites, or ofshrieking shells,, or of living undergrcund, or of all combined was notvouchsafed, bnt. be b,ad..grown weary,and we were notified, to prepare to sur-render— rag8,__arjp)?titeB and . all—thefollowing dajxl cannot say what emo-tions stirred me^hen I heard this an-nouncement. My amhition bad suffereda collapse. The dream of my youthvanished like a niciiel on a hot daywhen exposed to tbe X raya of a large,cool schooner of beer. There was eaineconsolation, however. The light of zuylife had not been entirely extinguished.From'tbewreck and ruin, tbe chaos ofthis disoBter, I bad saved my appetite.If I could but work that off on someYankee and sit down and see him wres-tle with it, the spectacle wonld in partcompensate mo for the overwhelminghumiliation under wbicb I labored.
The next morning I was up betimes,So also were tbe other 81,000 skeletons.There, was nn air of unusual animationin enmp. We seemed to be impressedwith the fact that we were about to in-augnrate un epoch—two or threo epochsperhaps. We were to lot tho world intothe secret that wo bad reconsidered ourformer reeolvo to wado chin deep inYankeo gore. -Wo wero to give it outflat that it was a physical impossibilityforono southern American.to annihilate)Hovcn northern A inoricans.

As a company ofYankees swung down tbe line to adddue impressiveness to tbe solemnitiesmy attention wae arrested by the bearing of the officer in command. It wasnot bis dreea that caught me, for, truthto say; that showed tbe effects of cam-paigning, and, while not.so tattered asmy own, was decidedly rusty. But thewnUi, the swing of tbe arms, tbe .car-riage of (be head, .were familiar.. Pass-ing, where I stood, cmr eyes met, andmy rage, appetite and utter despairwere entirely forgotten. It was CharlieCady, my old cbnm and the beat friendI ever had on earth. Charlie and I hadmet at college. When our Bchool dayswere at an end, we settled in the samecity and roomed together. His friendswere mine; mine were bis.
In all ways but one our habits, tastesand inclinations were alike. The excep-tion was political. He had been bornand laised up north, while my firstglimpse of the light was through themagnolia trees in Pixie. This differenceof opinion did not disturb oor relations,however. Nothing could have donethat While both of us were headstrongand determined on the question, neitherfor an instant doubted the sincerity orhonesty of purpose of the other. So itcame about, that when tbe sectionscalled upon their children to come totheir aid .Charlie loyally shouldered agun for bis, and I as dutifully, did thesame for mine. We parted in sadness,but only as friends can part. At theend of the line, bis duties being endedtemporarily, Charlie at*once made hisway back to me, and I shall never for-get bis greeting. He grasped my handwith .each fervor and emphasis andpulled me to him and hngged me witheuch ferocity that speech was out of thequestion until his affectionate demon-strations had partially subsided. Helooked me over from head to feet, andI never knew him to laugh more heart-ily-
"Jim," said he, finally catching hisbreath, "thie thing of busting up theUnited States government isn't as softa Bnap as it's cracked up to be, is i t?"
'.'No, captain"—"Charlie, if you please.""Well, no, Charlie, it isn't. Least-
ways, I've discovered it-isn't, my forte.If you can get me some place where Ican hoe potatoes and eat a square mealevery week or two, I shall be perfectlycontent to let thie government go rightalong doing business at tbe old standthe balance of my days."
We held half an hour's conversation,devoted mostly to matters and thingspertaining to our earlier and better(lays. I asked about Marion Dayton.Was she alive, and if so did he thinkshe could ever forgive me for runningoff south and kicking up such' a rowthat Charlie was compelled to go andcapture and lock me tip to make me be-have? Marion Dayton! What delight-ful memories were aroused at mentionof her name. We used to call her onrsweetheart, though I Borne way felt shewas more Charlie's than mine, being anorthern girl and of a loyalty so pro-nounced an to be with her a religion.She was as kind, as gentle, as graciousa girl as ever walked in the Bu.nlight.And mentally as bright- and witty asshe waa'gentle and gracious. It was re-freshment to be in her company, evento be where one could now and^ thenlook into tbe peaceful, lovable fcice ofthe dear girl. How natural it came toask Charlie what she would think ofmy conduct.
"Why certainly, ebe'll forgive you,.Jim, Marion conldn't harbor ill feelingagainst nnybody, much lesB you or me,Jim. Yon know that as well as I dp.Bnt enonp;h of that just now. Youwill go north in a few d»ys. My com-mand will be in charge and I hope to beable to arrange matters so that if youwill.agree to behave in future therew'illbe no gfea'tdifficulty in the way ofgetting you .otrt of this pickle. Justkeep your own counsel, obey orders andtruet to me."
He pressed my hand 'and was away.AH he disappeared 1 made a mental re-solve to the' effect that Charlie Cady—well, that Charlie and Marion were thebest und dearest people in this world ofBin and sorrow.
Ten days later we were, iif a north-ern prison. One morning an orderlycame in and beckoned me to follow him.In an outer office I was put throughthe form of swearing on my honor as asoldier that until properly exchanged(which I hoped would be never) I wouldnot attempt to overturn tbe UnitedStates government, and tbe door tofreedom opened for me. On leaving myescort placed n noto in my hand. Itwas from Captain Cady, informing mothat ho lay ill in St. Lonia and askingmo to call on him. I lost no time incomplying wHh tho roqnost., That even-ing I pat by bio cot, forgetful of nil mymisfortunes in ministering to hie com-fort. Campaigning had broken liim inhealth. It wnu plain to BOO that unicesbo could bo relieved from duty ho wasnot long for this world. I waa thoroforoglad to learn tbn$ hie. application fordiuchar'go' had already boto filed andpiuiaed upon fnvornbly hnd tlirit no eoonas tho Burgeon dudmvd hia removal eufoho wonld ha reatorod topflvnto life andhis frlonda. For n month I remainedwith him, overjoyed lit tho end of thattlwo to emerge from tho h,ofl|Jlfnl withmy dcurvfit friend on my aim. All thatho. now required waa. qnlot and, rent-With fundB which ho furnished—I Vana hopoioon flnnnclnl wreck—I hmjtlod
arou23 "and "secured apartments In aprivate family on a clean, quiet streetin tbe west end and we settled down toa resumption of an easy antebellum ex-istence. I had written for the press be-fore the notion seized me to go outwith grim visaged war and whoop up
'things, and bad little difficulty in se-curing employment.'
Charlie gained health and strengthdaily, meals -were coming with raonot-onoua regularity, and, to cap it all,Marjon, whose family had removed tothe city,,was.located only a few blocksaway. It was not long before Charliewas in charge of the books in a bank;Our situation, all/in all, was so roseate,so replete with, all the elements that goto make up "on'e glad,' sweet 6ong,"that when I gave it the benefit of delib-erate contemplation I reached the con-clusion that we were in clover headhigh. Beaidea^hftd I not eased my con-science by expressing to Marion my re-gret at havirjg ever tried to set up agovernment in opposition to tbe one she.loved so well, and hadn't that delight-ful youUg wfliiiifcn laughjagly forgivenme and admonished me to be a goodand loyal boy in future? We were trieold, affectionate trio again, each con-stantly doing something to enhance tbehappiness of the others. So the mouthsrolled by, Charlie won promotion at thebank, but in spite of all this he be-trayed a restlessness at times which itwas useless for him to endeavor to bidefrom me. Thia was not to my liking,and I determined to make him aware ofthe fact at the first opportunity. Onechilly, disagreeable evening in the fallwe were detained indoors by a depress-ing drizzle of rain. Charlie could notentirely banish bis "blnee," and I tookhim in hand. In an hour I had learnedenough to satisfy me that he y|as des-perately in love with Mjeiiton, but thathe could riot make up bis mind that hehad sense enough to make her under-stand his passion. I led him ofi into apolitical discoBaion and by retiring timehe wae glad to drop asleep and "leavethe world to darkness and tome." Andthen I planned. •
The following evening I made an ex-cuse to leave him and posted off to callon Marion. It was the first time I badever presented myself at her home un-attended by Charlie. I eaw at once thatshe made a mental note of the occur-rence. The evening passed pleasantly—it conl(J_have passed in no other way ineuch a girl's society—and I was aboutto take my departure.
"Marion," I said, "you have been asa sister to me. The deep respect—nay,affection—in which I hold you embold-ens me to speak to yon in confidence ona sobjecfc in which I am profoundly in-terested." •
She looked at me very, very seriously,but said never a word. I proceeded:
"You and Charlie have been veryqniet about tbe matter. I did not thinkeither of yon would treat me.in thatway."
Why, how you do talk, Jim! Whatin tbe world is the matter? Goodnessine, what ba.ve we—what have I done?"Her-manner waa amazement itself.• "Why, Marion, you two rascals haveit all arranged very nicely, so yonthink. Yon are to slip away and getmarried, then leturn and just knockme speechless with the news."
"Well, did I ever hear such talk inmy life?". She was making the bousering with her merry laugh.

To Get a Vacuum.Professor Dewnr's achievement In liq-
uefying hydrogen has led to the dis-covery of an easy method for obtain-ing an almost perfect vacuum, andthat in a single minute. WTien a gla,sstube\ filled with air and closed at oneend, has its open end dipped into a cupof liquid hydrogen, the Intense coldcondenses the air into a kind of snow•which settles to the bottom. If, then,the upper part of the tube, from whichthe solidified air has fallen, Is removedby heating and sealing it off, it be-comes a vacuum chamber BO free fromair that It Is difficult to force an .elec-tric current through it. j

A Snap Shot of aJbrtnk That Killed' .,- . . ' . , • Tieo I f e n .
"The most remarkable snap shot pic-ture in the world Is owned by a friend,of mine In a town In Georgia," said anenthusiastic. amateur photographer."Its story' is extremely curious. Itseems that he went onh day to a black-smith shop to get a shot at the men atthe forge. The smlthjfras engaged ona difficult, piece of ironwork and hadtwo helpers. Just behind them on ashelf was a pint flask full of yellowish•white liquor, evidently the «nn whis-ky for which, the native Georgian hasa peculiar liking. V*
"As my friend was preparing to takehis picture one of the helpers caughtsight of the bottle and communicatedhis discovery by dumb ,Bhow to hiscompanion.« The smith's back wasturned at the moment, arid the flratman reached stealthily for ifie prize,while my friend, unnoticed In the cor-ner, quickly aimed his camera. It wasa comical scene, and in his mind hnhad already named the photo 'TheStolen Drink.' ,
"The helper uncorked the flask andtook a swift gulp, and his comradesnatched it and did likewise. Then fora brief, breathless instant they lookedat each other, and as they did so theirfoolish grin gave way to such a stareof questioning horror as I never sawbefore upon a human face. I knowbecause It was then that the cameraclicked, and the picture Is as clear "uscrystal. The flask contained carbolicacid. Within an hour both men weredead. .
"When my friend took one print, hebroke the negative so as to make thisphotograph absolutely unique. Itshows the forward end of the shop.In the foreground Is the anvil, withthe smith bending over his work. Be-hind him are the two helpers, one stillholding the flask, looking at each oth-er. 'Sou can see tragedy in their eyesas plain as print. It is a frightful anddramatic tableau that could not beduplicated by any sort of art."-
THE HEATHEN CAN WAIT.
A Squatter's Idea of Where CharityShould Benin.
The other day an old squatter cameto the city and attended divine servicesat a fashionable church. The old fel-low listened with rapt attention to thesermon, occasionally nodding In ap-proval or shaking his' head In uncer-tainty. When a man with the contri-bution box approached, the squatterasked: .
"What's up?""We are taking up a collection for
the heathen, and as you seemed to beso much interested in the sermon Ididn't know but you would like to givea few dimes."
"What's the matter with theheathen?"
"Why, he doesn't know anythingabout the gospel, and -we want to raisemoney enough to send it to him."
"Wall, I tell yer, I don't think he'llspile afore mornln. I've got a hossswap on han, an ef I ken get 'Huff bootcome aroun an we'll sorter look interthe matter."
"But, my friend, the heathen chil-dren need clothes."
"So does mine, by jingo. Bill ain'tworn nuthln but a shirt for six monthsan hnster stay outen perlite society.Ike's got a vacancy In his "britches blg-gern yer hat, an Jack baster stay un-der the house when a stranger comes,'case he' got his clothes scorched dorlnhog klllin.

Yachtlng on Salt.Save during the rainy season Lase
Lefroy, In WBtern Australia, is quitedry. But as the water evaporates asthe hot- weather approaches a smooth,glassy floor of crystalline salt is de-posited. . Those living on the shoreshave found a means of utilizing this.
All boats which sail on the lakewhen possible are, during the rainyseason, fitted with four wheels, andthus are enabled to continue theirtravels. As Lake Lefroy has an areaof 100 miles, and the surrounding coun-try Is extremely rougb, this means agreat saving in expense, labor andtime. The speed attained by thesewheeled yachts is very considerable."" m i m.

A PAIR OF BIG TEET.
They Brought Woe to France anaChanged the Map of Europe.
The Princess Bismarck changed thepolitical history of Prance-unwittingly,and but for her the Franco-Prussianwar might never have1-been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly, to France,but the Empress Eugenie |b.oped withher beauty to lnfluenca him BO that thelittle trouble with France and Ger-many might be smoothed over. Shetherefore invited the German princeand his wife to visit the court ofFrance, nod the Prince and PrincessBismarck arrived in great state at theTuilerles..- _ •",
That evening filer* was a»grand re-ception, and Eugenie received theguests in a gown which made her soraviehtagly lovely • that even PrinceBismarck, German, stolid and in lovewith his wife, stood andWiaed uponher with admiration:/Arid Eugeniewas not gjow to observe tne effect ofher beauty upon him. She called himto her side, and Bismarck came withhis wjfe upon his arm. '
Now, tbe Princess Bismarck wasrtalland gaunt and ugly, and her feet weregenerous. ,'As she walked she showeda great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking withEugenie an audible titter was neardalong the Bne of ladies. Bismarck,who was quick as a flash, followed theglance of their eyes and saw them restupon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi-cal history of France was altered fromthat moment.
A year later, when 'Paris was be-sieged, Bismarck hlmseif flred a can-non over the ramparts, and those whowere near him heard him snout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin-cess Bismarck!"

A Case Mn Which the CoincidencesWere Ramarkable.
(From the St. Louie Democrat.)
On an occasion during the civil warI dreamed that I was standing besidea road when there came marchingalong 'it a strong column of prisoners,with guards at intervals on theflanks. I asked one of these' guardswho the prisoners were and wherethey had been captured. He Informedme that they had been token In an en-gagement with the enemy on thoday before and that there were 1,900 ofthem. I then asked some bystanderwhat day of the month it was and wastold that It was such a day of a certainmonth, some six weeks later than thedate of the dream. The whole dreamwas extremely distinct, and It made astrong Impression on me. I related itto a number of my comrades withinthe nest few days and then thought ofit no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning ofthe very <lay that had been mentionedhi the dream as the date when thecolumn of prisoners had passed'beforeme, I was on picket two miles distantfrom the point where I had seemed tobe when I saw them. It was soon aft-er breaWast, ana I was stanSing bythe side of the road at the fire talkingto tbe officer of the picket when anaid to the commanding general cameriding down the road. He had been aschoolfellow of our officer's at "WestPoint and reined up when he recog-nized his friend. He-told us that hehad good news, that there had been asharp engagement with the enemy theday before and that our people hadcaptured 1,800 • prisoners, who hadJust passed the headquarters thatmorning on their way to the rear.'

There used to run over a Vermontroad—and also, It may be remarked,over a Wisconsin road—what wasknown as the "huckleberry train,".'thejest being that it was so slow thatpassengers could Jump off at the frontend of the train and pick huckleberriesfor awhile and then get on at the rearend as It came, up.
