It did not have the full endorsement of all tho pub- lishers, but it pleased the Governor and tho publishers agreed to accept it. There waB not the slightest indication in his manner nt any tlmo until after ;ho passage of tho bill tbnt ho was not iiitireiy satisfied with the child of hia >wn creation. There ia little doubt, lowever, tiiat the Governor was more »r less insincere, when he said that the )ill was "the entering wedge for tho •eturn to an old system" for within tbe laino week ho signed a bill which taunted §10,000 In taxes every year to :ho Steel Trust. The Intter bill had all :he ear-marks of "an entering wedge" ind meant absolutely nothing but a direct financial loss to the people The Governor has offered no explanation for his approving this bill and what Is noro he will not do so. As the matter now stands, only a few lundred people in New Jersey, most of hese lawyers, will know the truo char- acter of the bills passed by the Iat9 Legislature and approved by the Gov- ernor. The rest of the people can get information on the subject in any way they please, but the present Republi- can administration does not propose to help them get that information. On the wnole, the action of Governor Uurphy in his relations with the pub- lishers, looks a little peculiar, tosay the least. But, aa Editor Kilgore sug- gests, the chief magistrate should be pitied rather than censured, for he, ap- parently, dare nob follow his own In- clinations even in approving bis own .cts. anrt wild cherry. 10 pints 10 content all groceries.

Whon Governor Murphy refused to alga tho bill, untinlmotisly eniictcd by the last Leglfllntnro, providing for tho publication of tho iww laws In synop* sis form In certain nowapapers of the State, ho gave fia nn oxen HO that It waa tho "oponlng wedgo for tho roturn to an old system." Possibly thU has fmtlsflcd n few of tho Republican pub- lishers In Now Jorsey but to thoso who do not RCO through a glass dnrkly it lias proven ono thing and that irj that tho Governor of tho great Stato o Now Jersey is not his own boss. Ho is supposod to bo tho servant of tho people and to do what ho thinks beat for their In to rent, but ia this pnrtfculnr enflo ho hiis proved thnt ho Is directed by u HLionuur and milliter hand. AH Editor Killgoro of tho Ilunterdon Domocrnt puts it: "No ono who hoard Govornor Murpby talk to tho Com- mittee of editors in hia ofllco but believea that Governor Murphy, in vetoing tho bill, which he proposed limself, was being controlled by some itronp hand, and for tho Governor of New Jersey to be controlled by any man against his own convictions, must bo humiliating', and he becomes really subject of sympathy rathor than censure." Georgo C^uick, an employeo nc the Edison coment works, wliuso homo IH on Warren street, was committed to the county jail Tuesday night on the charge of attempting ta kill his wife. Besides this, additional charges wero preferred in the complaint. The charges wcro for unbuilablo offenses and ho was placed undor tho Sheriffs keeping until tho next Grand Jury meets. : The complaint WBH sworn out by Susan D. Quick, his wife. Her etory Is tbnt Quick, who was about the house on Tuesday, started in early to "raise (Jain." He is not a drinking man, but was inspired by pure HendlahneBS. He gets that way quito often, Mra. Quick savB, and during theso periods tnoso raombers of the family who chance to come in contact with him are liable to be either killed or badly hurt. Mrs. Quick recently bad anow dresa made nnU it was a very handsome af- Air, It was BO elaborate, in fact, that }ulck, during hiB rampage on Tues- lay, declared in a vehement manner ;batho wouldn't tolerate it about the house. He made a dash for the ward- robe, got hold of the objectionable drees, along with some other garments belonging to his wife, and, piling them in a heap, touched a match to them. He watched tho flames at work with all the gloe of a boy at a forbidden bon- fire. After thia fiendish work Quick quar- relled with bis wife and used her in most brutal fashion. He chased her with a rnzor in his hand and made several vicious Blashes at her, luckily none of which struck her. He finally got hold of her and kicked her In the body most cruelly. Afcer the man's passion had eubsid- jd to a degree, Mra. Quick went to the office of Justice LIndaberry and swore out a complaint, The--warrant ^waa served and the accused man was given Arrested For The 'Steenth Time. Daniel Keating, awell known dan< jerous character who has known the interior of the Warren county jail tima and again, is again a viBitor there, laving been aent over last week by laBtice W. G. Creveling. Daniel had jeen doing a little light work about the electric light plant and was thus made aware of the fact that Manager Ward owned a protty good wheel. On Tuesday evening he paid a visit to the back porch of Mr. Ward's home, but instead of getting the good wheel, ee- surod an inferior one belonging to Mr. Vard'a brother, Percy. This he se- creted back of the Weller property near Gullck's bakery and during the rain later transferred it to the barn back of 'Wyckoff & Shields' grocery store. Several persons saw Keating make the transfer and so Policeman Shrope had no trouble in proving that Daniel had stolen the wheel, The Jus- tice sent the prisoner to the Belvidere ail to await the action of the Grand ury, which meets in September. Criminal Court In Session. At the session of Criminal court, which began yesterday in Belvidere, the first case called was that of Al- phonso DeMillier, of Washington and. Alpha, indicted for keeping a disor- derly house at the latter place. The evidence rather favored the State and Judge Shipman's charge waB against the defendant, but the jury found him not guilty after being out about half an hour. The next case waa that against Eob- ert Lott of Phillipsburg, charged with assault on a little girl, Anna Brotzman. The case was not concluded when court adjourned last night. The evidence pointed strongly to the guilt of the prisoner. Wm. Smith, wife beater, from Phil- lipsburg, retracted...his plea:: of.:not guilty and" entered "one of non volt, Judge Shipman announced that he had decided to postpone the next session of appeal courb from May 14th to May 22d.

Periodically he comes to Washington, and showed up here a few days ago for the first time in several months. He got hold of his wife'B gold watch and notwithstanding her threats, refused :o give it up. She finally resorted to tho law, making complaint before'Jus- tice Lindaberry.

LUXDY MAHRIKS AGAIN Victim of Mob Takes Another Life Part- ner in Mr?. Lavina Andrews. Aged Negro Anticipates s Happy Future Aflei Ills Many Trials. David D. Landy, tho colored man whoso name baa become familiar by reason of having bcon mado the victim of mob proceedings, comes beforo tho E ubllo this week in tho rolo of a merry ridf>groom. On Thursday evening ho was joined In Hymen'd bonds to Mrs. Lavlnla Androws, a. woman after his own heart and color. David's hair Is hoary with tho frosts of seventy-two bli/.zirds wliilo hia dusky bride has gathered trailing arbutus and yellow- faced dandelions tbe beet part of tbo past seventy-four Bpringa. Tho courtship wan brief but Mrs. Androws had laid her pinna well nnd won tho oluaivo David without un apparent etrugglo. Less than .... months ago the old fellow was cutting up capers with a notorious young whits woman who posed in his homo as a housekeeper. Their ictlons made both extremely obnoxiotia in the eyes of the respectable whlto people who Ived in tho neighborhood. Tholr be- havior became intolerable nt last, and one evening laat December a posse of town men and boys went to the house, and, without intending to commit a lawless net, proceeded to tench the old negro and the young white woman a lesson. Some reckless young blood in bho party manifested itself and when :he party left an hour later, Lundy'B little home was a heap of kindling wood, hia household effects were strewn over half a block and tho old man, who had shown some fight, was in a neighbor's bouse wlthone eye gouged 30 badly tbat It had to be eventually removed. Here was where Mrs. I/i- plnla Andrews began to got In her fire work. She came to Lundy's side, nursed him and sympathized with him nnd said "yes" in a hurry when David fired the old, old question at her. On account of toe legal proceedings which were instituted against Lundj 'a assailants, and which required consid- erable of the old man's time, the mar- riage was deferred for several Wtielte, but last Thursday night, both "partiPs being free and willing, the Rev. J.: W Randolph, pastor of the A. M. E churcb, was called to the home of Og- don Smith, who is Mrs. Andrews' son, and there the ceremony was perform- ed. There were relatives of both par tiea present and a right smart and merry time was had, in which both bridegroom and bride joined as well aa their age and infirmities would permit. Tbey are nowBtaying at'the home of Mr. Smith but after the honeymoon IE passed they will make a visiting tonr among their numerous children. This plan was suggested by the new Mrs. Lundy with the Idea of saving enough money out of David's 512-a-month pen- eion to enable them later on to Imy new goods with which to begin house- keeping. Landy has been married several times and is the father of eighteen children. His bride has also been mar- 'ied several'. times and has countless children still living. David says that he has sown all his wild oats and Intends to settle down. There will be no more swell dinners to colored male friends on pension day and he will discard whitg vests and plug hats. He says he seea ahead a long life of ease and domestic felicity. The Iron Industry Iu Oxford. The fires in the Pequeat furnace were lighted on Monday evening and the first cast made last night. The capac- ity of the rebuilt furnace is about ninety tons of iron per day and about sixty men are being given employ- ment. It Is believed the plant will run without interruption as long as the present great demand for iron keeps up. The situation ut the Empire Steel & Iron company's furnace in Oxford is unchanged, but a considerable force of men is at work slowly cutting away the great maas of iron which chilled in the cupola a few weeke ago. The ef- fect on the industrial condition of the village, however, has not been bad, for nearly all the furnace men have been given employment in the cupola. The Only One TV ho Dare Tell It.

I In 1873 Mr. Harris wng made.;an at- torney and in 1876 was made a coun- sellor. His acquaintance with the law brought him prominently before the public and his ability waa readily recognized by the bar and others. In March, 1877, Governor Bedle appointed him Prosecutor of the Pleaa of Warren county. In. the fall of 1880, Mr. HarriB was sleeted to Congress over Gen. Kilpat- rick, by a majority, exceeding 4,000. Two years later, upon being renom- inated, he waa defeated by Benjamin P. Howey, on account of hia relations with the River and Harbor bill, which measure the people at tbat time re- garded flB a great waste of money. While in Congress, Mr. Harris was as- sociated with many men of national reputation. He and the late Gen. Geo. M, Robeson were very intimate friends. Upon retiring from Congress he aban- doned politics as a busineBs pursuit- and devoted his time "and talents tp his profession, and for years enjoyed a large nnd lucrative law practice.

Dear Sirs ; There was a time when It paid a painter to paint lead and oil, and tight sby of anything else. That was when the market was full of poor paints, and zinc was unknown. Now zinc has come In, lead and oil must give way—it is too short lived. There are two ways to use zinc; you can mli it In with lead in atub, or buy Devoe lead and zinc, which is ground together by machinery. If you mix your own lead and zinc, you gain something; If you buy Devoe you gain more, because machinery does better work than hand mixing. Experience is worth something.

Aller Pcrpelrallnn Oulrajc, lie Sctks to Es- cape Punishment by Skipping. Bert Young, nn elghtccn-ycnr-old scamp of Port Murrny, Is a fugltlvo from Juttlco. H o is charged with criminally assmltlng Grace, tho nine- year-old daughter ot'Q. Wesley Gard- ner, a farmer living along tho Morris Canal between Port Colden and tho urra cotta works. The crime of which Young is accused according f> tho story told by the little girl, is of a most inhuman character. The young man, who has always been recognized as one of the most dissolute boys in the neighborhood, lost hia job it the terra cotta works on Wednesday of last week through carelessneBa In permitting one of the company's horses to run away. He was loafing on Thursday and in the afternoon went to Samuel Mowery's, whose home a in a secluded spot In a wood west of the terra cotta works. The Youngs and Mowerys are related and the ;otmg man was alone at the house while the family was attending the Mayberry funeral in Port Murray. Different children of Mr. Gardner rcquently visited tbe Mowery honso. On Ttmrsday afcernoon Grace, aged nine years, and her sister, Aliie, aged five years, came to tbe house. They were unable to open the gate and Young let them into the yard. They were no sooner inside than the young brute began behaving in a most in- decect manner.. The abhorrent sug- gestions and loathsome invitations fbich he directed to the eldest girl an not be told comprehensively within Lhe bounds of decency. When he found that he could not make her nnderetand his desires, he used hia superior strength in subduing the girl. On account of her extreme youth and undeveloped nature he was nnable to accomplish his purpose. He then resorted to a still more despic- ab l<>. revolting" and unspeakable method to satisfy his carnal desire, which crime is in the same category as as that of sodomy. All this waa done in plain view of the other little girl, Allie. The two children told the story upon jturning home and Mr. Gardner waa it first undecided how to proceed to punish the fellow. Young heard that )roceedings were to be taken against nim and on Saturday; night he and his aider brother, George, boarded an east )ound paseenger train at Port Murray. One had a ticket for Eoboken and the other paid his fare on the train. George reurned the nest night, and nothing has since been heard from Bert. The girl's father came to Washing- ton on Sunday and swore out a com- plaint before Justice Lindsberry. Constable Sbrope took the warrant and went to Port Murray after the young man but learned that he had left town the nigbt before.

Ib Is truo t ha t tho bill passed by t heLegislature was one proponed by thoGovernor, himself. I t did not havethe full endorsement of all tho pub-lishers, but it pleased the Governor andtho publishers agreed t o accept it.There waB not the slightest indicationin his manner n t any tlmo until after;ho passage of tho bill tbnt ho was notiiitireiy satisfied with the child of hia>wn creation. There ia little doubt,lowever, tiiat t he Governor was more»r less insincere, when he said tha t the)ill was " the en te r ing wedge for tho•eturn to an old sys tem" for within tbelaino week ho signed a bill whichtaunted §10,000 In taxes every year to:ho Steel Trust . The Intter bill had all:he ear-marks of "an enter ing wedge"ind meant absolutely nothing but adirect financial loss to the peop le TheGovernor has offered no explanat ionfor his approving this bill and what Isnoro he will no t do so.

As t he ma t t e r now s tands , only a fewlundred people in New Jersey, most ofhese lawyers, will know the truo char-

acter of the bills passed by the Iat9Legislature and approved by the Gov-ernor. The rest of the people can getinformation on the subject in any waythey please, bu t the p resen t Republi-can administration does not propose tohelp them get tha t information.

On the wnole, the action of GovernorUurphy in his relations with the pub-

lishers, looks a little peculiar, to saythe least. But, aa Editor Kilgore sug-gests, the chief magistrate should bepitied ra ther than censured, for he, ap-parently, dare nob follow his own In-clinations even in approving bis own.cts. •

Whon Governor Murphy refused toalga tho bill, untinlmotisly eniictcd bythe last Leglfllntnro, providing for thopublication of tho iww laws In synop*sis form In certain nowapapers of theState, ho gave fia nn oxen HO that Itwaa tho "oponlng wedgo for tho roturnto an old system." Possibly thU hasfmtlsflcd n few of tho Republican pub-lishers In Now Jorsey but to thoso whodo not RCO through a glass dnrkly itlias proven ono thing and that irj thattho Governor of tho great Stato oNow Jersey is not his own boss. Ho issupposod to bo tho servant of thopeople and to do what ho thinks beatfor their In to rent, but ia this pnrtfculnrenflo ho hiis proved thnt ho Is directedby u HLionuur and milliter hand. AHEditor Killgoro of tho IlunterdonDomocrnt puts it: "No ono who hoardGovornor Murpby talk to tho Com-mittee of editors in hia ofllco butbelievea that Governor Murphy, invetoing tho bill, which he proposedlimself, was being controlled by someitronp hand, and for tho Governor ofNew Jersey to be controlled by anyman against his own convictions, mustbo humiliating', and he becomes really

subject of sympathy rathor thancensure."

The complaint WBH sworn out bySusan D. Quick, his wife. Her etoryIs tbnt Quick, who was about the houseon Tuesday, started in early to "raise(Jain."

QuicksavB, and during theso periods tnosoraombers of the family who chance tocome in contact with him are liable tobe either killed or badly hurt.

Mrs. Quick recently bad a now dresamade nnU it was a very handsome af-Air, It was BO elaborate, in fact, that}ulck, during hiB rampage on Tues-lay, declared in a vehement manner;batho wouldn't tolerate it about thehouse. He made a dash for the ward-robe, got hold of the objectionabledrees, along with some other garmentsbelonging to his wife, and, piling themin a heap, touched a match to them.He watched tho flames at work withall the gloe of a boy at a forbidden bon-fire.

After thia fiendish work Quick quar-relled with bis wife and used her inmost brutal fashion. He chased herwith a rnzor in his hand and madeseveral vicious Blashes at her, luckilynone of which struck her. He finallygot hold of her and kicked her In thebody most cruelly.

Afcer the man's passion had eubsid-jd to a degree, Mra. Quick went to theoffice of Justice LIndaberry and sworeout a complaint, The--warrant ^waaserved and the accused man was given

LUXDY MAHRIKS AGAINVictim of Mob Takes Another Life Part-

ner in Mr?. Lavina Andrews.

Aged Negro Anticipates s Happy Future AfleiIlls Many Trials.

David D. Landy, tho colored manwhoso name baa become familiar byreason of having bcon mado the victimof mob proceedings, comes beforo tho

Eubllo this week in tho rolo of a merryridf>groom. On Thursday evening ho

was joined In Hymen'd bonds to Mrs.Lavlnla Androws, a. woman after hisown heart and color. David's hair Ishoary with tho frosts of seventy-twobli/.zirds wliilo hia dusky bride hasgathered trailing arbutus and yellow-faced dandelions tbe beet part of tbopast seventy-four Bpringa.

Tho courtship wan brief but Mrs.Androws had laid her pinna well nndwon tho oluaivo David without unapparent etrugglo. Less than ....months ago the old fellow was cuttingup capers with a notorious youngwhits woman who posed in his homoas a housekeeper. Their ictlons madeboth extremely obnoxiotia in the eyesof the respectable whlto people whoIved in tho neighborhood. Tholr be-

havior became intolerable nt last, andone evening laat December a posse oftown men and boys went to the house,and, without intending to commit alawless net, proceeded to tench the oldnegro and the young white woman alesson. Some reckless young blood inbho party manifested itself and when:he party left an hour later, Lundy'Blittle home was a heap of kindlingwood, hia household effects werestrewn over half a block and tho oldman, who had shown some fight, was ina neighbor's bouse wlthone eye gouged30 badly tbat It had to be eventuallyremoved. Here was where Mrs. I/i-plnla Andrews began to got In her firework. She came to Lundy's side,nursed him and sympathized with himnnd said "yes" in a hurry when Davidfired the old, old question at her.

On account of toe legal proceedingswhich were instituted against Lundj 'aassailants, and which required consid-erable of the old man's time, the mar-riage was deferred for several Wtielte,but last Thursday night, both "partiPsbeing free and willing, the Rev. J.: WRandolph, pastor of the A. M. Echurcb, was called to the home of Og-don Smith, who is Mrs. Andrews' son,and there the ceremony was perform-ed. There were relatives of both partiea present and a right smart andmerry time was had, in which bothbridegroom and bride joined as well aatheir age and infirmities would permit.Tbey are nowBtaying a t ' t he home ofMr. Smith but after the honeymoon IEpassed they will make a visiting tonramong their numerous children. Thisplan was suggested by the new Mrs.Lundy with the Idea of saving enoughmoney out of David's 512-a-month pen-eion to enable them later on to Imynew goods with which to begin house-keeping.

Landy has been married severaltimes and is the father of eighteenchildren. His bride has also been mar-'ied several'. times and has countless

children still living.David says that he has sown all his

wild oats and Intends to settle down.There will be no more swell dinners tocolored male friends on pension dayand he will discard whitg vests andplug hats. He says he seea ahead along life of ease and domestic felicity.

The Iron Industry Iu Oxford.The fires in the Pequeat furnace were

lighted on Monday evening and thefirst cast made last night. The capac-ity of the rebuilt furnace is aboutninety tons of iron per day and aboutsixty men are being given employ-ment. I t Is believed the plant will runwithout interruption as long as thepresent great demand for iron keeps up.

The situation ut the Empire Steel &Iron company's furnace in Oxford isunchanged, but a considerable force ofmen is at work slowly cutting awaythe great maas of iron which chilled inthe cupola a few weeke ago. The ef-fect on the industrial condition of thevillage, however, has not been bad, fornearly all the furnace men have beengiven employment in the cupola.

Thu week beforo the Health Departmentof Now York adzed a quantity of stuff bo-ng aold for bafeinpr powder which they

found wati made from alum mixed withground rack, and dumped It Into the river.

Tho Health authorities arc thus taking•Jldctivo means to prevent tho Introduc-ion into our markets of Injurious substi-

As alum costs only two cents a pound,tbero is it great temptation for thosemanufacturerstvtiomnko substitutes andImitation goods, to uso It. Alum bakingpowders enn be detected bv the healthLUthorltles by chemical analysis, but theordinary housekeeper, whoso assistance In

protecting tbe health of the people Is im-portant, cannot make a chemical exami-nation.

AB the people continue to realize the im-portance of this subject and consumers In-sist on having baking powder of establish-ed name and character, and as the healthauthorities continue their vigorous -cru-sades, tbe alum danger will, it Is hoped,finally be driven from our homes-

Dear Sirs ; There was a time when Itpaid a painter to paint lead and oil, andtight sby of anything else. That waswhen the market was full of poor paints,and zinc was unknown.

Now zinc has come In, lead and oil mustgive way—it is too short lived.

There are two ways to use zinc; you canmli it In with lead in a tub, or buy Devoelead and zinc, which is ground together bymachinery.

If you mix your own lead and zinc, yougain something; If you buy Devoe yougain more, because machinery does betterwork than hand mixing. Experience isworth something. We've had 146 years of

Bert Young, Port Murray Lad,Commits Heinous Crime.

VICTIM NINE YEARS OLDYoiin|?, Who is Eighteen, Took Advantage

of Her at Home ot Relatives.

Aller Pcrpelrallnn Oulrajc, lie Sctks to Es-cape Punishment by Skipping.

Bert Young, nn elghtccn-ycnr-oldscamp of Port Murrny, Is a fugltlvofrom Juttlco. H o is charged withcriminally assmltlng Grace, tho nine-year-old daughter ot'Q. Wesley Gard-ner, a farmer living along tho MorrisCanal between Port Colden and thourra cotta works.The crime of which Young is accused

according f> tho story told by the littlegirl, is of a most inhuman character.The young man, who has always beenrecognized as one of the most dissoluteboys in the neighborhood, lost hia jobit the terra cotta works on Wednesday

of last week through carelessneBa Inpermitting one of the company'shorses to run away. He was loafingon Thursday and in the afternoonwent to Samuel Mowery's, whose homea in a secluded spot In a wood west of

the terra cotta works. The Youngsand Mowerys are related and the;otmg man was alone at the housewhile the family was attending theMayberry funeral in Port Murray.

Different children of Mr. Gardnerrcquently visited tbe Mowery honso.

On Ttmrsday afcernoon Grace, agednine years, and her sister, Aliie, agedfive years, came to tbe house. Theywere unable to open the gate andYoung let them into the yard. Theywere no sooner inside than the youngbrute began behaving in a most in-decect manner.. The abhorrent sug-gestions and loathsome invitationsfbich he directed to the eldest girlan not be told comprehensively within

Lhe bounds of decency. When hefound that he could not make hernnderetand his desires, he used hiasuperior strength in subduing the girl.On account of her extreme youth andundeveloped nature he was nnable toaccomplish his purpose. He then •resorted to a still more despic-abl<>. revolting" and unspeakablemethod to satisfy his carnal desire,which crime is in the same category asas that of sodomy. All this waa done in •plain view of the other little girl, Allie.

The two children told the story uponjturning home and Mr. Gardner waa

it first undecided how to proceed topunish the fellow. Young heard that)roceedings were to be taken against

nim and on Saturday; night he and hisaider brother, George, boarded an east)ound paseenger train at Port Murray.One had a ticket for Eoboken and theother paid his fare on the train.George reurned the nes t night, andnothing has since been heard fromBert.

The girl's father came to Washing-ton on Sunday and swore out a com-plaint before Justice Lindsberry.Constable Sbrope took the warrant andwent to Port Murray after the youngman but learned that he had lefttown the nigbt before. Mr. Gardner_t._j. _..*.=__ i,. b r a t e b e _

A Uood Idea."Legislators who have appeared attbo

State House during the last throe or fourdayB," says a Trenton correspondent, "arediscussing a possible change In tbe rulesgoverning the tinal disposition of billswhich have met the approval of bothHouses. Tho talk revives tho old proposi-tion in regard to the holding of Dills forthirty days after tbe sine die adjournmentif tbe Legislature, and leaving tho mem-bers no redress In tbe ovent of a veto.

It Is not reasonable, eay tho agitators, toallow one man, even though ho be Gover-nor, to bave the final say as to the disposi-tion of bills that both Houses bavo passed,without giving the Legislature an oppor-tunity to bring the matter up again for con-sideration. Some of the objectors to thopresent method favor a recees at the closeof the active business of each session, theSenate and Assembly to be called togetheragain thirty days after the close of the Bes-Blon, to consider any message tbo Gover-nor may have to ssnd In, and to take action

0 vetoed bills."There would bo no discourtesy to the

Executive in such a plan," said one of thomen who are talking up tho proposedchange. "It would, on tbe contrary, ro-Heve him of much of tho onus of vetoingbills which may not moet with his approv-al and would glvo the members and Sena-tors an opportunity to bring tbo matter upagain, without having to wait for anotheryear. This proposition has been discussed)Gfore, and It Is more than likely thattbore will bo some action taken in thatdirection at tbe next session of the Legis-lature."

New Order System.The Lackawanna has instituted a new

system of delivering orders to engineerswithout stopping trains. They use thefamiliar "19" order on double truck forconferring train rights (tbe "31" form oftrain order will invariably be used torestrict train rights) and without stoppingthe train. When the "19" order Is readyfor delivery the operator will go on theground with two hoops provided' for thepurpose with the copy of the order and aclearance card attached to each, and, ifthe train order signal has been properlyacknowledged by the engineer he will de-liver one each to tbe engineer and con-ductor. Hoops are used which engineersand conductors catch with their arms.They aro not allowed to catch the hoopswitb their hands. The idea Is novel and Isproving popular with tho employes.

JUDGMENT IS REVERSEDCelebrated Warren County Case Retried la

New York, Lasting Eight Days,

Eaton Devore Secures Heavy Judgment forAccident at Hope Crossing la 1892,

Judgment was entered last Tuesday inNew York on a verdict of $20,000 againsttho Delaware, Lacftawaona & WesternR. R. Co., in favor of Eston E. Dovore,who was Injured at Hope Creasing, nearBrldgevllle, tbls county, ten years ago.

William Devore, a poor farmer, andMary Devoro, his wifo, resided in Walpaik,Sussex county; and, on the 22ad da; ofNovember, 1S92, took their babe, agod 14months, and drove 26 miles away to Belvt*dere where tbo father had boon sub-poenaed as a witness. They left Bolvidoroat six o'clock in a storm. It was intenselydark and tho wind was blowing hard fromthe west. They were unfamiliar with thoroad and drove thoir old farming horsewith great care, over mindful of tho factthat they had two railroad crossings topass before they could roach their Someand their BIX other children. They drovealong so slowly that William B. Bunnelltestified tbat be followed tbo buggy onfoot and kept it In sight all tbo way lo bisfarm, half way between Bridgovlllo andBelvidere.

The unfortunate people groped through:ho darkness and storm and were -on thetracks at Hope Crossing and struck by tbomall train bound north before tbey saw orbeard It. Mra. Dovoro ia tbo only livingwitness and she remembers nothing, afterthe collision] until the followtog day whunsho found herself in bed at Josoph Emory'ihouso near tbo crossing.

Mr. Devore died within an hour after tbeaccident; and his wife was btdly bruised,stunned and shocked and suffered excruci-ating agony from broken and dislocatedbones. But more griovous was Iho Injuryto the baby that bad been peacefullyslumbering in her arms. On tbe rightBldo of its little head was an ugly cutabout three Inches long. Afterwards Itwas learned tbat this extended to tbo brainand that the skull had boen forced into tbebrain.

Within a half hour after the catastropheDr. William C. Albertsoi of Belvideresummoned by tbe Bridgevllle stationagent, Mr. Kenny, was attending tbedying man and later tbe dazed, stupifledwoman, The child teemed so far gonothat little or nothing could be done for it.Its little cap was so embedded In tbewound and attached to the blood and dis-cbarge from its head that tho good womenEresent, Mrd. McRina Emery and Mrs.

[ary Sbulcr, had not tho strength andcourage to tear It loose. ?.'

A day or BO later, Mrs. Devore with herbaby undertook to reach tbe once happy,though very bumble home 23 miles distant.With the assistance of several women,they reached Blairstown by train andthere the suffering woman and the still un-conscious child were lodged over an under-taker's shoo. They were attended anctreated by Dr. Carhart. There still aoemedto be but the merest flicker of life in tbebaby and Mrs. Devore continued to sufferas she bad tbe night of the accident, whenthe doctors finally were compelled to giveher ether to temporarily ease her pain.

On Christmas Day, over a month later,she reached her ngad father's home, nearPlatbrookville, still in pain and wretchedbeyond words and Btlll cborisbiog tbelittle spark of life in the child with all thecare and solicitude that marks mother-hood the world over.

How the six other little children at theWalpack farm, fatherless, forlorn and unprovided for, pot along during this intervaand how Mrs. Devore and the baby, Estonendured tbo distress and privatiou of ill-ness and poverty during all the ton yearswould fill a volume and touch every human

During the following spring Mrs. Devoreand Eston reached home, but ft was manymonths later before the child could evenspeak the few words ho knew before theaccident. Then it was seen that his leftside was paralyzed; that ic did not grow:and that hfB left arm hung bent audwithered and forever useless.

The most eminent neurologists lo tbeState of New York had tbe child forweeksunder examination In the Cripples' Hospi-tal in New York city, in 1900 and lflOl, auddeclared that he would never have the useof his faculties, Dr.J. P. Torrlberry, theexpert, who testified at the trill andwhose prescriptions have been followednow for some three years, said that thechild's entire leftside was paralyzed per-manently; tbat one half of the sight wasgone forever, and that the boy's brain wasso affected that ho could never be taughtthe simplest thing, This eminent surgeonsaw the boy in one of bis frightful spasmsproduced by thjq brain injury, ana deB-cribed It to tho jury. While in New Yorkfor the trial this spring he had over thirtyof such violent and dangerous spnsms andono in the court room. These spasms in-crease in violence as the boy grows older,though not quite of so frequent occurrenceas formerly.

Single handed and crippled, the bravemother struggled with tne wolf at thedoor all tho time. Then came the burningof her home and all tbe contents, vflhethen had nothing in the world but theclothes she waa wearing. So she and thechildren went to Strbudsburg, Pa., whereshe got occasional employment at house-work and tbe young children earned pal-try sums In a factory.

McClougban, who attended ber and tbebaby for many months at Flatbrookvillo,traveling some 12 miles over the mountainsfrom Swartswood, N. J., Mrs. Devorowrote to William D. TyndaU, a lawyerpracticing in Now York and Now Jersey.Mr. Tyndall was a Warren county boy andonce resided at Hope, within six miles oftbo fateful crossing, and as well at Blairs-;town. In both places hi& father, Re?.JacobTyndalljWaa pastor of the MethndlHchurches. Wf

Though his client barely bad mor>,y:

enough to pay postage, much l e s s e elawyer's fees, Mr. Tyodall, at hla awncost, hunted up witnesses, took photo-graphs of tho dangerous croaking aJidstarted suit for Mrs. Dovore'a injuries Inthe U. S, Circuit Court at Trenton.'< By apeculiar coincidence tbis suit wns de-

" tbe late Plavol McQeo, alBO for-^*,j ~- .barren county, where his fatherwas. for a generation, pastor of the oldBrick church. George S. Shipman of Bol-vidoro was his assistant counsel. Tho rail-road contested every etop from the serviceof the summons; and there wore long andblttor and exponsivo struggles bo&weonthe opposing lawyers before the aotualtrial was reached in tho fall ot 1895.

Mr. TyndaU,, Becured tho witnesses,subpoenaed th&m, took thorn to Trentonand paid all their expenses out of his ownpocket, as Mrs. Devoro bad nothing what;ever: and, BO far as money goes, friondlessbeside. Thocago came up before 'JudgeGreen In tbe Federal Court. Tbe witnesses:told thoir stories just asjthay have twicesince told them, Mrs. Devoro, as to thecare taken whilo approaohingtho crossing,

_ non-auit and roused to submit tho quoi.tlona of negllgonoo and of contributorynegligence to tbo jury. ,

However, with this result of tbo timeand effort expondod, Mrs. JJovore'fl llttlohope of any redress for all flho bad sufferedcompletely left ber and she returned toher borne without heart for tbo futureAlthough confident that tho court hadorred and tbat tbe Federal AppellateCourt at Philadelphia would reverse JudgeGreen's ruling, yet the loss of tlmo andmonoy bore boavlly upon Mr. Tyndall,and, injustice to bis own interests, ho wasreluctantly compelled, for tho time, todovoto his tlmo and eflbrta along tbo linesof bis regular practice

Later on Mr. TyndaU again took up thematter with all t,no courage and confidenceand skill tbat be possesses, but in thomeantime he had lost track of bis client.He huntt-d about tbo Blue Mountain townsfor Mrs. Dovoro. Milford nnd Matamoras,Pa., Port Jorvla, N. Y., Yulan, Pa,, andBarryvilie, N. Y., aro a few of tbo placeswhore Mrs, Devoro nnd her llttlo broodlived for short Intervals. Finally he locat-ed bor la Sullivan county, New York, milesfrom any settlement or post-ofllco. Shebad remarried, another farmer; his name,Heater.

"We will sue for tho boy," said Mr.Tyndall, The suit was brou^nt for $50,000in Sullivan county. New York SupremeCourt. Hamilton Odell, one of tbo leadoraof tho Now "iork bar, appeared lor thoLackawanna, He removed tho caso to theFodoral Court in New York city, therebyentailing the coat of 100 mllca travel forMrs. Heator and tbe boy plaint IS", EstonDevore, and tbe Brldgevlllo witnesses bo*side thoir maintenance Iu tbo city foreomo 30 days while waiting for tho caso tobe reached.

The usual tactics wero employed by thedofense, but in June, 1901, tbo caso was nt'BBt called for trial. Nearly nine- yearsafter tbo tragedy by the roadside! Mr.Tyndall's now partner was culled Into tbeproparation and trial of thocano. He isMr. Walter R. Barton, son of a prominentnaval otlicer of Washington, and a grad-uate of Harvard and Columbia.

Besides denying geuorally tho state-ments In the plaintiff's complaint, the de-fendant set up tbo New Jersey statute RBfound In tbe "Railread and Canal" lawwhich seems to limit tho bringing of act-ions againat railroads for personal Injuriesto two yoara after they occur. Tho de-fendant further maintained that Mrs. De-vore had lived in New Jersey for two yearsafter the accident and that consequent! •

_ as to prejudice tbe juryWitnesses irom Flatbrook-

the child had lost its remedy by suit. Thiscontention was made regardless of thogeneral statute of limitations of New Jer-sey which exempts, from its rigorous pro-visions, lunatics and persons under ago.

Judge E. Henry Lacombe, tho U. B. Cir-cuit Judge who beard the caso, declared itwas one for submission to tho jury and tbojury rendered its verdict for $10,000, find-ing for the Infant upon every point raised.Tbo railroad company of course appealedand the cost of printing tho UMimony andphotograpbB alone was some $500. To tbosurprise of every one, the Circuit Court ofAppeals of tho United States reversed thejudgment given and ordered a now trialupon the ground that the judgo had madea technical nrror in charging tbe jury.

The new trial came up again OH tbe 22ndof April, before Judge Arthur C. Coxe, theFederal Judge just appointed for NewYork by the President. The general coun-sel of the Lackawanna came on with hisstaff from Chicago to try the cause. Overfifty witnesses were la court for the rail-road. Everything possible for ingenuityto devise had been done to defeat tbeplaintiff. A dozen witnesses were calledto prove thHt Mr. Devore was drinking allday in Belvidere aud left there so intoxi-cated he could not get into the buggy un-assisted. A half dozin others swore thatMrs. Dovore told them right after tbo acci-dent, when they picked her up and carriedber to tbe Emery house, tbat her husbandwas drunk and drove right into tbe train.

This line of testimony wns produced fortho first time at tho re-trial. An attemptwas then made to belittle the character ofMrs. Devoreagainst her. _ville and Stroidsbure wore called to swearthat one VanGorden lived with her. On re-buttal, Mrs. Devore's counsel showed thaithis man WUB a veteran soldier of tho civilwar, a pensioned cripple, ar.d that forfouryears after her marriage to Heater tbo oldveteran continued to live nt her house anddied there a fow weeks before tbis trial.

Beside the persons before named, GeorgeM. Bartow ot Bridgovlllo, and John H.Burnett, Jr., of New Providence, testifiedfor tbo plaintiff with respect to tbe meas-urements and the general character ofHope Crossing.

Beside the engineer and tho entire ttalncrew, the rttilioad company had two em-ployees who claimed to be possengors andtwo other pa-jieneers on iho question ofsignals. "Nels." Teeter, a Uolvldere con-stable, swore to having eight or ten drinkswith Dovore. "Jake" Forman, tho host-ler at the Warren Horse, Bolvldero, BawDevoro drinking. So said Theodore 1'.Hopler, of Belvidere.

Martin Hull and Jacob Colo came all theway from Flatbrookvillo to testify toltheresidence question; as did also R. O. Brownand Seoly Rosecranz, Stroudsburg mer-chants,, Theodore H. Meltnor, a Strouds-burg policeman, had his siy on the stimopointy, i

From Bridgeville cimo Station AgentKenny and his son, Benj. Fltts, Wm. B.Bunnell, Joseph Emory, irfwajzo J.'Craig.-Also George K. McMurtno of Belvidere,and" Billle" Banghnrt, tho erstwhile de-tective for the company.

The jury, after delivering their verdictfor $20,COO against the road, after eightdays of the trial, expressed thoir fuvorahloimpression of the truth of the plaintiff'scBse. Tho child's side and wounds wereexhibited to the jury, and tho jury was outlees than an hour.- It Is believed that tbo railroad.will againappeal, and that this remarkable litigationwill not bo concluded until tlie U. y. Su-premo Court at Washington hp.9 beard thearguments of the lawyers.

Meanwhile, Meesra. TyndaU & Bartonare preparing for tho trial of two suitsarising from the siuno casualty, nnd thesocases will bo tried in Montlcolio, Sullivanoounty, N, Y., within two weeks.

NEW COUNCIL ORGANIZES

Collector antl Assessor Placed on SalaryBasis in Lieu of All Fees.

First Meeting as a Borough Held MondayNight—An Exceptionally Stiff Pay Roll.

The first meeting of the CommonCouncil under tho general boroughnot on Monday ni^ht was not just ex-actly a success, but a few things wereaccomplished and uo doubt bettar re-sults will follow when the membershave become more accustomed to thenew conditions. On the night in ques-tion, the very deliberate city oflleialsstarted out to <b buaineaa as a borough,but when about half way through theyconcluded they were getting In toodeep and the rest of tho meeting wasrun as in the good old days beforeCharley Miller began the study of law.

Mayor JohnBton was in the master'schair at the head of the table when themeeting came to order at S o'clockp. m., but the only other members tbatanswered at roll call were Messrs.Hance, Gnlick and Shurt3. In a fewminutes thereaftar another member•was added to the Hat. The first actionof the Mayor was to take out a pack-age of papers and from one of theseread that tie had appointed Peter R.Wellerto fill the untspired term ofJoseph Bell DeRsnier, wno had movedfrom town. The appointment wasconfirmed by council and the newmember took the oath of oillce and hisBeat at once.

From his fat bunch of document3,the Mayor made another draft, as soonas Councilman Weller was seated,drawing forth two type-written ordi-nances, one fixing the salary of Asses-sor at $300 per year and the other nam-ing $400 as the Collector's salary, theseto be in lieu of all fees. They wereread for the first time and at the nestmeeting will.be put on second readingand doubtless passed. These changesare made necessary because of the factthat the borough law declares that allsuch officers shall be pair! by salary,On the nomination oi Mr. Johnston,Mr. Wtn. L. Hoff, for many years man-ager of the Western Union Telegraphoffice here, was made Borough Asses-sor to fill the unexpired term of thelate Capt. Win. Weller. The Mayoralso nominated Albert B. Thompson tobe a Chosen Freeholder, because of thefailure ta elect at the proper time thisspring, and this nomination was like-wise confirmed.

The next paper presented by theMayor was one headed "A ResolutionChanging Name." It read as follows"Be it resolved by the Mayor aud Council

of the Borough of Washington tbat theborough now known aa the Inhabitantsof the Borough of Washington, in thoCounty of Warren, be hereafter known

:--r:as i'ThS:Soroush-_of;.>y(>.'ih!ncrlon»'J.nndthat the latter title bo and tho same ishereby adopted as the corporate nameof aaid borouch, pursuant to the pro-visions of an act entitled "A general actrelating to boroughs (Revision 1S97)."This resolution was just about to be

, put to a vote when Borough AttorneyJeffery,called attention to the fact thatif this resolution went on the minuteeit bound the town to the borough lawswithout redress. He stated tbat therehad been no written decision renderedas yet as to the standing of the com-munity and he had not been given asingle reason for the announcementmade some weeks ago by Judge Fort,in Newark. He mentioned a numberof disadvantages that would come withour passing under the borough lawsand asked council to lay the resolutionover until next meeting. Up to thistime < he Bession had been that of aborough council. From this point itwas conducted as a, town council.

Having settled once more back intothe old rut, the Clerk read an applica-tion from Chae. N. Shrope to bo TownMarshall or Policeman, as the lawmight demand, for the period of oneyear. The Chief took the ground thatthere was ^nothing in a name and hesimply wanted to keep his present job.

; He was allowed to do so by an unani-mous t-vots. John F. Reynolds Post,Ko, 66, G. A. R., was giveVcthe regula-.

'~ tiori $50 for Memorial l)ay,"and Charlest>eremer was voted a license to keep a

a popcorn wagon on the atreet.

As the borough law had put TownTreasurer John B. Scott,.out of busi-ness, he was present with his books'and asked that his bondsmen be re-leased. HiB books were inspected bythe finance committee and pronouncedO. K. During the evening the follow-ing bills were audited and orderedpaid: x-1

from Atlantic City, conveys the good newsthat our friend, Judgo Aloxander Elliott,Jr., will soon bo with us in the flesh, as weknow bo has boon in spirit very often sincethat dreary day when ho wan stricken,and we believe tho Judgo felt, during allhis troubles, that unexpressed, but tendersympathies wore being tondorod wlih allthe solicitudo that honest emotions arocapable

Largo bodies movo slowly, is an old say-ng but true, and for proof, just think howong tt lias taken the Board of Freeholder*:o get ready to build that little turnpikesrldge ovor Merrill's brook, a short dis-tance west of Sh Winger's mill.

As yet; tho proposed now cement plantnear Stowartsvilio haa not materialized,but tho prospect Is thoroughly good.

Samuel B. Metier of Still Valley died onSaturday, May 3, at tho ago of 73yoarP,andWas burled on Wednesday from his late,residence In Old Qreonwlch cometory.Tho deceased man was ono of the mostpopular in tho county and for 40 years ormore was proprietor of the hotel at StillValley. It la safe to say that few publicmen In North Jersey havo not enjoyed thegood cheor of tbat famous old hostelry,ilr. Metier was largely instrumental In tbemprovemont of horsos In this section ando tho introduction of such a noted sire asho Duke of Wellington, can bo traced tho

foundation of a race of good, strong,sturdy animals for road and general pur-poses. JBut above all was his kindly audnaturally charitable disposition; littlechildren sought him, and many an oldman and woman will mourn tho death oftheir frleod, Sam Metier, our friend as longas wo can remombor. He Is survived by aWidow and daughter, Miss Lillian, and>rother, Hadoram Metier of Bloomsbury,boaUU-a nieces, nephews and grandchildren.

What funny things happen when sailingjndor assumod colors! Wo mean it hap-pens to the flag flyer, and it Is sometimesunfortunate for reputations, particularlyIf a fellow claims to have been on tho staff3f a reputable newspaper, and wasn't,lomebody lBsuro to call down the claim

and then! Oh, well, nobody Is hurt buttho craft sailing under false colors, and yetthe roportorlal seas are full of buccaneers,is were the mercantile seas whon the brig-intine bark ruled tbo Spanish Main.

From what we can learn with reference:o the action of Greenwich township for' Good Roads," It might better have beenleft undone. As a plain matter of fact thetownship did not apply for, neither does Itwant, a little strip of good road on tboturnpike on the outskirts,which was aaked[or In conduction with other miles of goodsroads. Oar Freeholders tell us that theentire matter rests with Mr. Budd, andthat gentleman says It rests with the Boardof Freeholders. So, between Mr. Buddand the Board of Freholders, we are reallybetween the devil and tbo deep sea. Theapplication can be suited to the personality.The people of Greenwich township look tothe Board of Freeholders for the GoodRoad System as voted for by an enormousmajority of taxpayers, and afterwardsspecially petitioned for and promises weremade, but now It appears that all tbat lathought about is a little strip of road onthe old Morris pike not one and a halfmiles on the outskirts of the township,that not one vote in one hundred in Itsfavor could be obtained. We should cer-tainly look to our Freeholders; we do—but how will It be ? However, the peopleare up In arma, and they have it In theirpower to decide against the Board of Free-holders as now existing.

FOR FIVE YEARSWE HAVE SOLD THE-

Automatic Oiistoves,Wickless, Valveless, Blueflame,

Certainly nothing like the AutomaticBluetiaihe has been conceived."O WICK to trim and adjust.

S'O VALVE to open and close, or to leakor to clog—no overflows.O SOOT or smoke—cannot.

NO DANGER—Nothing to explode ortake fire. Fill while burning if youwant to.O RHTORT or pressure tank needed,but the oil burns as pas from the surfacesupply.

SO SOLDERED OR LEAKY JOINTS,all parts being securely fastened andbrazed.

It burns common everyday kerosine oil,•..as used in lamps.

Some Advantages of the Cabinet Style:Protects from drafts and s-ove will stand

anv reasonable amount. You can use Itwith windows and doors open,

Sits down on the floor where It belongs.-No dirt hole under the stove.

Solid tray that will hold a large amount ofoil, if necessary, without drizzling onthe floor.

Top and Drum removable, making allparts of the stove easily accessible forcleaning.

We have them in Two Sizes: 2 Holes, SS.oo; 3 Holes, $10.These stoves are much more economical than coal stoves, and'

safer than gasoline and more economical also. You use fuel onlywhen you are cooking or baking; you barely notice the heat whenthe stove is burning and are entirely rid of it when through with*'our kitchen work. Let us send one on trial.

What You See in the Windowsnly gives a mere hint of the waves and billows of Dress Goods and-

Stomachs on §Nff&" The man who puts on stilts does not In-crease his actual stature bv the bread Lh ofa balr. He feels taller while he's on thestilts, and when he's off them he feels

' shorter than he everfelt. Stimulants arethe stilts of the'stom-ach. They make aman feel better for thetime being, but hefeels s great deal worsefor them afterward., The need of the manjwhose stomach is"weak" is not stimu-lation but strength.Dr. Pierce's GoldenM e d i c a l Discoveryperfectly answers thatneed. It cures the dis-eases of the digestiveand nutritive systemwhich make the stom-ach "weak." It en-ables the digestion andassimilation of food, sothat the body receivesthe nutrition on whichdepends its strength.

"That afternoon we pulled ap neartliree sliantles on a woodslde, and agang of .Chinese* all squabbling andmuklng noises like dogs growling over"bones, fought with one another to geton a platform where a boiler waschained. There was a scuttle. One.Chinese was pushed backward andfell. His head Jilt the metal andcracked like a nut lie gave a wiggleand died. The Itusfritins who saw thoaccident were affected. The Chineselaughed. He lay for an Jiour in tbesun until I undid his .sleeping rug andspread it over his face. lie was soonforgotten. A Chinese threw some hotwater over a growling dog and madeIt howl. At this there were shrieks ofmirth.

"The engine puffed and groaned andjerked the wagons Into progress. Thelast I saw of this spot ws two China-men pitching tnud nt the same dog tokeep' It from sniffing at the body of thedead."

tionTOnly eeven States of the union have

courts of chancery. They are New Jersey,Delaware, Vermont, Alabama, Tennessee,Michigan and Mississippi, but tbe ojBteinsdiffer. That of New Jersey approximatesmost nearly to the ancient system thatEagland discarded long ago. WhenLirdChief Justice Coleridge was visiting thiscountry he remarked with wonder the re-tention by New Jersey of a jurisprudencetbnt belonged to the judicial lumber roomof Great Britain,

The Boston Boot & Shoe Company is inthe bands of a recelvor. It was formedseveral years HRO with a cipital siock of$100,000, but It is claimed that It haa beenoperated at a loss for a lonjr time. Someyears aero a mortgage for $20,000 was givento the Boston Trust Co. and bonds issuedfor tbat amount. These fell due a fewdays ago and were not paid. Aside fromtbat indebtedness the concern owed over$70,000 to other creditors. The trust com-pany asked tbe court to let some oneother than tbe company's officers straight-en out matters and on Tnursday H. J.Steele was appointed receiver. :

It is a program for tho ap-pearance of Mlsa Laura Keene In "OurAmerican Cousin," In Ford's Theatre,Washington, D. C, April 14, 1865, at

Senwe In Proverb*.There is a deal of sound sense in the

proverbs of a nation. Karl Ilussoll de-fined a proverb as lieltitf the wit of. onemail and the wisdom of many, and theaptness of this Is well KIIOU'U In thefollowing from tjje Spanish, "Since wecannot gt't wliaf we lil:e, let us UJtewhat we get." The thought Is as oldas the race of mankind, but ages pnss-ed before one man hit upon the happyexpression of it. Tills saying from theChinese Is a whole homily on pride inone sentence. "When a tree Is blowndown, it shows that the branches arelonger than the roots."

For a concise expression of the loftynspfrntlous of youth itnd the soberachievements of riper 'years take thissentence from Henry D, Thoreftu, "Theyouth gets together his materials tobuild a bridge to the moon, or perchance a. palace or tumple on the earth,and iit length the middle Jiged man con-cludes to build :i wootlsued with them."

. HIM Fluent Fount of Tears.There are funny Incidents In the life

If a photographer. A man came ID therther day and loolted over nK the sam-ples, asking the price of each.

"Do you want a sitting?" I asked."I'.don't see nothln' like what I

want," he replied.

I told him If he would Indicate whathu wanted I might arrange- It.

"You see, It's like this," he began. "Ihad a girl that I loved, and we was go-Ing to git married. She had her thingsmade up, and we was all hut ready,when she was taken ill and died. Andwhat I wanted wns a picture of me alt-tin' on her grave weenluV ' . '..

I was touched nt the homely story ofgrief and told him I could send a manwith him to the grave nnd have thepicture taken as he desired.

"It's some distance," he said. "It'sover in Ireland. I expect It 'ud cost alot to scud over your traps for what Iwant?"

I said It would."I thought," he answered, "that

mchbe you could rig up a grave here inyour shop and I would weep on it andIt would do just as well. It's no troublefor me to weep anywhere."—EdinburghScotsman.,

To Whip Cream SuccessfullyTbe cream must be sufficiently thick to

hold the air, and must be very cold, andkept cold during the whipping. A smallchurn made from tin will whip one quartof cream In two tniimtea.

Did Sot Know What Wan C.nlnK On.There is n fact it bout the French rev-

olution more wonderful lit Its way thanany which can be discovered in oldnewspapers. It is the fact, gatheredfroru private letters of the period, thatIn those stirring times, when nil theworld wjis ringing with the events inI'iiris, there were actually people inthat city living in absolute Ignoranceof the horrors around them. Therewas no reifin of terror for them. Theylived veritable recluses in their quietsuburban houses, he;! ring nothing,reading nothing of the turmoil whichstartled ami terrified the nations. Onewonders much what manner of peoplethese oysterJfke folks might he. Noth-ing sounds more lucrediUle today. Vetthere are many things In history nothalf so well authenticated, though his-tory is curiously silent on so strange acircumstance.

The Rlnff of Choopw.Cheops was the builder of the pyra-

mid which boars his name, and, as ifto make the structure perpetuate hisdeeds for all time to come, the verystones and bricks of which it is com-posed are stamped with his name.Cheops lived nearly 2,500 years ago, hiagreat pyramid being an antiquity Inthe days when the great nations of oldwere In their youth, and yet we of thistwentieth century can have the satis-faction of looking upon the very ringhe wore so proudly upon his finger!The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi- ggoutely accurate and beautifully execut- U / T / l / i p Qed. the ring Itself being of llnest gold * * * • * ## V Oand weighing nearly rin ounce. Theoval signet bears the name of Cheops,which is in hieroglyphics In perfect ac-cord with the stamp on the bricks ofthe groat pyramid. This remarkableantiquity was found in a tomb at Ghi-zeh. It now reposes iu the museum ofthe Sew York Historical society.

Temperament nnd Eserclac.Careful tosts aixl observations made

at the Yale psychological, laboratoryhave demonstrated the Importance ofstudying Individual temperament be-fore prescribing a system of physicalexercise. A nervous temperament, forexample, requires a different treatmentfrom that required by a phlegmatictemperament; without regard to thephysical condition of tlie subject

The meui.il factors are more neces-sary than the muscular In the develop-ment of strength. A nervous personshould never be required to take heavyexercise. A phlegmatic person, on thecontrary, requires it. The phlegmatictemperament indicates reserve energyIn both muscles and nerve cells, whilethe nervous temperament has less re-serve power, hut greater ability to usetho energy at hand.—Philadelphia Rec-ord.

A Couple of Joker*.' Judge Joseph Aspinall's reputationas a humorist on the bench is prover-bial, but when off the bench he rarelyjokes. Ilence it was that AssistantDistrict Attorney .Martin \V. Littleton,the after tliuuer spellbinder, was takenby surprise when the judge calmly in-quired:

"Martin, you are interested in ath-letics. Tell nio the name of the cham-pion shot putter."

"I'll have to pass that, judge.""Well, then, what's the matter with

cannon?" .

Mr. Littleton reeled from the impact,but, quickly recovering, replied:

"Ah, yes, very neat. But. by the way,I see you are ouo of the entries in thebig paper chase."

"Paper chase? What paper chase?"said the Judge unguardedly.

"The chase for greenbacks, judge.Good day. Glad to have met you."—New York Times.

Uovr to PlNtinK-tilNli Tender Beef.Meat, to be wholesome, must come

from a healthy animal; to be nutri-tious, from a -.veil nourished one. Muchused muscles absorb niuch food mate-rial, making rich, juicy meat. This is,however, tougher than that of partsless used.™.bqcause~thc"'coiiuective'tis-~"sue and fiber increase as well as thecontents of the muscle tubes.

The loan of good beef is firm, elas-tic and when tlrst cut purplish red, thesurface becoming bright red and moistafter exposure to the air. The tender-er outs are iliio grained and well mot-tled with fat; a thick layer of Ilrm,light, straw colored fat extends overthe rib and loin cuts; the kidney suetis white and crumbly.
