During his stay hi Honolulu Mr; Yat­man preached thirty-six'sermons All of his services have been .veil attend­ed. Tho papers of Honolulu warmly supported him in his work in that city. Hf:: meetings were held ln the First M. E, Church, Rev. G. L. Ptarson, pas­tor.. The “Commercial Advertiser" thus speaks of his work::: “To give1 an Idea of his work done, here: He Arrived in the city on Mon­day, February 27th, ahd he will have preached his thirty-sixth sermon to­night He -believes in ■ obeying tho command literally—‘Go y« into all the world- and preach the gospel to -;yery creature.’ He has largely Obeyed that command, here' in Honolulu—he has preached to the English speaking peo­ple, the native Hawaiian, tha Portu­guese, the, Japanese: and the ’ Chinese. All th a .1 services: have been well at-' tended, and ho doubt a great deal of good lias been accomplished. He lias had only one great central object ir* all these services, which, to use his Own words, 'To make bad people good and to make good people better/ and he has faithfully stuck to his text.; To show the'unselfishness of the man he told fcis congregation Monday aight that the first and most important thing in. life was to become a Christian— ■‘Seel: ye first the kingdom Of God sail His righteousness,’ and then ■ soon as they became Christians join the church at .̂oicc—any church where you can be of service r,nd do something. If you can do, better service in the Episcopal church, unite with that ehitrch at once; if you can better serve the Master in Central Union Church, that.Is the place for you; or If. you prefer the Methodist Church ,we ask yoi! tp unite here, and when you isaye united with tho church of your choice be faithful and loyal to that church; and be in your place all the time, for I do think Of all the tramps'In the world tit- church tramp Is about the worst—one, who runs here, there and everywhere, and is no account' ar,y- where. ‘B« thou faithful unto death,’ ”

RESTRICTING BANKING PRIVILEGE

The comptroller Rules that Rational

Banks Have Ho Power to Kalntala Branch Offices.

(Communicated.;ABbury Park, March 30, 1899.

To Our Ocean Grove "tttroris:• - Under a ruling ot the Comptroller of , tho Currency,-It wbb decided, tta t ae nations: ban!; could. maintain a branch office or a branch bank. This decision, has ca.used considerable agi­tation among banks throughout, the United States, as the closing of tha branches in aost Instances caused much IncOnvenlence to the bank pa­trons .However, the Comptroller, Las a© ruled and, as s. result all national banbe, Including the Flre National Bank of Asbury Park, are temporarily discontinuing their 'aaslitess at branch offices pending, and anticipating favar- able legislation. Accordingly the First National Bank has decided to discon- tinuo its branch in Ocean 1 Grove the 31st of this month.'

I t Is with *ixtreme regret that they- take this action, Inasmuch as their list of valued patrom in . th e . Grove has constantly increased, especially this past year, evidencing the public’s appreciation of the , stability . Of this in­stitution and'the • uniformly courteous attention received at the hands of tie efficient, manager, Mr. T." A. Miller. The bank s managers are deeply appre­ciative of the.'patronage of their Grove customers, and solicit a. continuation of th« same at, the home office in ABbury Park, 'where, every- convenience ai : courteous, consideration' " i l l be ex­tended, ,

We feel confident the friends of the bank in Ocean Grove, appreciating the necessity which requires this - fcank, with other national banks, to withdraw temporarily this ’source of convenience to patrons, wlli continue to favor, them with their business patronage.

The law certainly seems an :ucjust one, and we b'elleva that during the coming. year Congress ’w ill bo amend it as to permit national banks to main­tain braachea' wherever it seem ces- essary to accommodate their patrons.

WILL BUILD A SAMPSON BRIDGE

A Local Inventor’s Model to Be Bollt Across the Hudson at Alban?.

In tno Times some weeks ago waa mentioned the fact that Mr. W. L. Sampson, of Ocean Grove, bad invent­ed a new typo of drawbridge, upon which ho hail been granted a patent Mr. Sampson has just learned that the first bridge under Mb patent is to t» erected at Albany, N, Y„ across tho Hudson.

Tho cantllovc; spanB of this bridga are constructed to travel toward and from each other on foundations ex­tending above the water level. Iii or­der to impart this movement to tha spans a rope, or chain, passing through a tunnel or conduit tn the bed of tbo river is connected wiUi tho ends of the spans and with a drum on shore, driven by suitable machinery. When tho spans are in closed position their two inner ends abut against each other, and the outer or shore ends abut on the aprons; and since the apronB are ln turn hinged to the abut­ments a continuous bridge is formed from shoro to shore. The aprons at their under sides are provided with wheels to travel up the inclines of the spans. An engineer stationed in a power house on shore can readily tnovo tho spans from, the abutments to close the waterway, in which latter positions the aprons wilt be raised. Tho Inner ends of the Bpans are adap­ted to be locked In placo when the bridge ’s plosed. The special advan­tages of Ibis bridge aro the elmpUcIty of Its construction and the time saved in opening and closing the draws. -

Mr. Sampson was granted a patent on his bridge on January 10th. On February 4th a detailed description of IL appeared In the Scientific American, through which paper the patent was procured. It has engaged the atten­tion of civil engineers and bridge builders everywhere.

From the Frying Pan to the Fire.

Middlesex county -na£ adopted a unique method of getting rid . of tramps. Formerly the county arrest­ed aii tramps found at, large, chained them together and made them work on the streets. But the county authori­ties found it would be cheaper to get rid of theas altogether. To accomplish that result the authorities permitted the tramp lodging, house to become so bug-infested that in time not even a tramp would consent to sleep in them, and now the hobos give the county .a wide berth in pure' self-defence.:

A FINE OPENING.PORTO RICO A MAGNIFICENT FIELD

FOR ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.

The establishment of electric tram­ways throughout tlio Island of Porto lUco,; from east to west along the central range of mountains,, in desir­able, easy* and relatively inexpensive. A n electric line, starting from Nagim- bo or llumaeao at the east end, touch­ing the interior tmviis of .Ttmcos, Cagaus, Aguas lUieuas, Sabatm del Palmar, Ha iranquLas, Karros, Juyuya, Utuado, Adjuntas/and Maiicao, nml terminating . at Mayaguez, with branches from the main line to the vil­lages along the coast, would serve better than any «tlier system ,to move the rich products of those districts and to accomodate the great number of passengers who now have no means of convenient travel.

The coal problem, and many other expensive Items of railroad building, need, not be a consideration in tho operation and construction of such a tramway system, as there- exists, throughout the whole mountain range natural water powers available for any class of machinery. The many and powerful waterfalls having their- sources m the mountainous inland region, nnd the rivers which run through this territory in various di­rections, seem.to have been created by nature especially to aid man In the cul­tivation of the rich Holl and the market­ing of its products, .which, because of the high altitudes and necessarily heavy grades of high-roads, if these should be built, would otherwise be very costly. The interior of the Island Is extremely mountainous, as may be well seen from some of. the illustra­tions. Around the. entire extent of its coast, however, is a flat belt of rich lowlands .suitable for tho cultivation of sugar hud tobacco.

MAP OF Till. ISLAND OF I'OKTO KICO.The highest village of Porto IUco;

Aybonlto, situated at an altliude of 2.!’»00 feel, above si*a-b*vel; Is on the line of the central highway whleli runs from Ponce to San: Juan. This flno highway, littlll originally by the Spanish government for military pur* )>oses, has no grade greater, than 14 j-er cent., which would be ilu* maxi­mum also to In* met. wilh In the con­struction of a .* tramway along the mountain range.

The ballasting of rockbeds, in what­ever direction llie -lines might run, would cost but little, as there is more than chough material for this purpose on the ground; ami throughout the whole extent of llu* proposed lines there is to be fnuttil wood of excellent quality for cross-ties. The labor rc- c/nirM' for such a conslruellon Is abundant and e«»mparailVd.v Vheap. as the laborers In this region, accustomcd to tlie hardest; work* have never ca ru­ed more Ilian 7~> m ils ii iJay (Porto Itlcau curreney); and It would be an exceedingly . easy matter to i>rocure 2.000, o.oiio. or -1.000 men for any. kind of an enterprise.

Skillful stone cutlers are easily to be had; and on the ground along the route Is found an ample supply of stone, suitable for bridges, culverts, and other-constructions of a.similar nature, lu short. It is 'not neeessary to seek* elsewhere Ihe materials for tlie -.eons!ruction of a tramway..or railroad,. as all, excepting'* the rails' and other metal parls. are to be had along Ihe mountain range. With abundant and well-distributed water* power, from streams lhat do not fall even In the. dryesi seasons; with Ihe materials lor ballast and ties at hand; >*lth labor ehcap. good, aud plentiful— the building of electric railway lines will certainly be attended with ;bnt little cost compared with the substan­tial prolils tha i such lilies' may be ex­pected io earn.,’

t Ion Is not so great, a s a n ot her st ea m railroad which funs; in the same .•.'di­rection for lialf the dlslaneei or to Hlo Piedras. thus dividing with-it the traf- jlc of that region. Still another line, 35 miles long* runs from Aguadla to Hormlgueros. Another short line is Jn operation between . .Ynuco and Ponce, a distance of 22 miles, with two stations on the line at Guayanllla nnd Tallaboa. Tills railroad has an average aunual income of $2,7(10; per mile, but it should he noted that, be­cause of-the high freight rates, $2.25 pgr.ton for a 22-mile haul, or. ten cents

..per. ton-mlie, a great part of the frfelght-carryiug between Yauco and Ponce is perfonied by ox-earta, in sue; cessful competition with the railroad. The. freight rates of the ox-carts are Mi>t much lower than those of the rail­way, and; the speeds are about the pame. Besides this excessive charge, the railway does riot offer the facili­ties which should obtain In this dis­trict, as It does not reach to the har­bor of Ponce, where the great bulk of business Is done. Bulk must be broken and the goods transferred, the transportation of merchandise and

fruits from the railroad station to the harbor front by carts being a very costly item, as • well as a source of great Inconvenience.

The territory which produces the most coffee is in tho high and moun­tainous parts qf the island,‘along the central range, and here It Is that* the greatest heed Is felt for transportation facilities, the only existing means of communication being by liorse roads or mule- paths bunt by the residents. From the plantations where the coffee Is gathered to the nearest towns on the coast, whence the berries may bo carried In ox-enrts to the markets, carriage is affected, at the; present time, on the backs of horses and. mules, which can take only 200 pounds a trip. These horses bring back an equal- quantity of provisions and merchandise for the subslstance and necessities of the laborers and other inhabitants of the Interior. For this- transportation on. horses and mules $1 a hundred pounds, each way, is paid from the points most distant, and GO cents from the ncarer points.— The Engineering Magazine.

INuitiaBt In Sloep.The position affects sleep; A con­

strained position generally prevents re­pose, while a comfovtao.o oiie woos sleep. Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for themuscular ’system* \

This fs the position assumed in the most exhausting diseases, and it is gen­erally hailed as a token of revival when a* patient voluntarily turns on the; s id e . • r- '■ !.':'■.'■■■'.- ,■ ;v * ; • . .

But there are several .disadvantages in the supine posture which Impair or embarrass Bleep. . Thus In disorder­ed conditions of the stomach the blood seems to gravitate to the back of, the head and -to produce ,troublesdma dreams., .: ■

Nearly ail who are inclined to snore do.so when lying on the back, because tlie soft palate and uvula hang oil,the. tongue and that organ falls, back so as to partly close the top of the wind* PIPC. •' ■

It Is better; therefore, to lie on the side, and in the absence of special disease rendering It desirable to lie oil the weiik side, so. as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is well to use the right side; because when the body is thus placed the food gravi­tates more easily , out of. the stomach aud llie weight of tlie stomach does not compress the upper portion of the’ iu- tesiiites. ’

Board of Trade for Eatontown.

There Ib talk of Organizing a Board of Trade at Eatontown. A meeting has been held to discuss the project. The question of factories and the best means of inducing capitalists to Invent and locate at Eatontown has been free­ly discussed for several weeks. Several, business enterprises, it is said, want to locate at Eatontown, but nothing will be decided until the formation of a Board, of Trade..

The report that a shoe factory would soon, begin business there is prema­ture.. The promoters of the Board of Trade say that they have a number of "good things’’ in sight, but will wait until a-trade organization is perfected.

The hat factory at Eatontown brings in considerable cash to the merchants there. What the business men want is more of the same kind. ;

The second business enterprise of this kind, the establishing of a shirt factory, is soon to be launched In the Wolcott building. Joseph W. John­ston, is at the, head of , the enterprise. Although plans are still incomplete, It has been learned .at Eatontown that the new enterprise was an assured fact. It is proposed to manufacture night shirts. The promoters propose to put in between twelve and twenty machines, and start business early in April. . . ̂ :

Trolley Road Improvements.

In the work of improving its prop­erty and facilitating its operation the Atlantic Coast Electric Railroad will shortly put in longer switches to re­place those at present in use on its line between Asbury Park and Belmar. The roadbed will be leveled, and other improvements tending to the increased comfort of the line's patrons will also be made. Tho material for the con­struction . of the handsome new steel trolley bridge over Shark river will Bhortly be on tho. ground, and the structuro will bo completed on or be­fore June 1, 1899. Tho bridge will cost about.$16,000, and whon completed will he a credit to Belmar and vicinity and to tho liberality and enterprise of the Coast Electric, Railroad. v

Ue Frefcrs the Grove.

Mr. A. C. Wilcox, who.deals in in­vestment securities, with offices in the Drexol Building, Philadelphia, was in the Grove last Saturday. When he left for homo he carried with him a lease for the “Laurel,” on Broadway, which ho will occupy as a residence for his family the coming summer. Ho had heard the praises of Ocean Grove sung, and. before renting property nt Atlan­tic City, as he first intended, he con­cluded to como hero and investigate. He was not long in making up his mind'that the Grove was the place for his family and himself to spend the summer.

000.000. oldrstyle copper pennies some­where. Nobody knows* wluit has be­come of -cm. txcepi that once in a while ii single specimen turns up lt> change. A few years ago 4,500,000 bronze two-cent' pieces were set atlout. Three million of. them are still out­standing, but are never seen. A mill­ion of tliree-cent silver pieces are scattered over the United States, but it is yery' seldom that one comes across any of them* Of the 800,000 one-half-cent pieces, not one has. been returned to the government for coin­age or is belli by the treasury.

W onde rfu l Nerve.

A woman shoplifter . was caught stealing-an umbrella the otber.day In a Philadelphia dry goods store. But It was decided not to prosecute her if she would pay for the umbrella; valued at i?2.50, which she did. The next day she returned and requested to see the manage r. When that surprised person could recover himself suftieieut- Jy to ask her business the woman calm­ly told him that she had been pricing umbrellas in other stores aud fouud ,slie could purchase one like her own for $2. nnd she wanted to know if lie wouldn’t ■ refund lier 50 cents. As a tribute to lier monumental nerve the 50 cents was handed her in silence.

As an example of .how a story grows It is related that a report recently reached Ottawa, Kan, to ^he effect that, tlie coal .nibiers at Itutisomville had found a petritied snake (iO feet long and nine inches in. diameter. Prof iYates of O tta wa-col lege hurried to Itausomvllle. in fear that some other fossil collector would get ahead of him and found that tlie’alleged snake was a bit of petrified root 18 inches long and a half inch lii circumference.

said to be lost .lu ParlsK According to these statistic!?, one person in every four loses -his umbrella. The police •say that ladies are much more careful with such articles than men, for the number of parasols taken to the lost property ofllce annnally to only about; one hundred.

A MODERN JONAH

the Remarkable Slory of a Wideawake Whaler’s Crew. .

The following story, htch appeared . recently in the Great Yarmouth Mer­cury, deserves to be reproduced.

Some years ago the whaling ship Star of tho East, was ia the vicinity of, the Falkland Islands searching for

' whiileK, which wer.e very scarce. One morning the lookout sighted a whole about threo miles away on tho star-, board quarter. Two boata wero man­ned. . In. a Bhqrt time one of tho boats was near enough to enable the tanr- pooner to send a spear Into the whale, which prove to bo fin exceedingly largo ono. W ith the shaft In its side the animal sounded find then sped away, dragging the boat'after him with ter­rible speed.

He swapu straight away about flvo miiea, when he turned and name back almost directly toward the spot whero ho had been harpooned. The second boat waited for him, and when but a short distanco away from it he rose to tho surface. As soon as his back showed above the surface of the water tho harpoonor in tho second boat drove another Bpear into him. The pain ap­parently crazed tlie whale, for It

: threshed about fearfully and it was feared that the boats would be swamp­ed and the crews drowned.

■' Finally the whale swam'away, drag­ging tho two boats after him. He went, aboiit three miles and r ounded or sank, and. h is, whereabouts could not be exactly told. The lines attach.

. ed to the harpoons were slacked and the harpoonera began aiowly. to drag them‘ in the tubs, Ac soon as they wer« tauteu the whale arose to the surface and beat about with ids tall ia the maddest fashion., The boats at­tempted to get Beyond the reach of file animal, which wa-x apparently ia it=i death agonies, and one of them

■ succeeded, but the other, was less for­tunate. The whals struck it with his nose and upset it. Tie men were thrown into the water, and before the crew of the other boat could pic!: them up ono man was drowned and James Bartley had disappeared.

When th ■ whale became QUlet tram ... exhaustion the waters were searched . for Bartley, but he could not be found, and, under the impressioa that he had

■■ been struck by the whale’s tail and sank to the bottom, the survivors row­ed-back to. the ship. The whale was dead, and in a few hours the great body was lying by the ship’s side and the. men were busy With axes and. spades cutting through the flesh to se­cure the fat. 'They worked all day and a part of the night.: They resum­ed operation® the next forenoon, and were soon down to the stomach, which was to be hoisted to tha debit.. The workmen were startled while laboring

. to clear it and to fasten the chain about it to, discover something dou­bled up in it that gave spasmodic signs

, . of life. ■ ■■ ■ The vast pouch was hoisted to the deck arid cut open, and inside was found , the missing sailor, doubled up and unconscious. He was laid out, on

. the deck and treated to a bath of seawater, which soon revived , him;, but his mind was not clear, and he was placed'in the captain's quarters, where he remained lo r a fortnight a raving lunatic. He' was carefully treated by the captain and the oillcers of the ship, and he Anally began'to, get pos­session of bis senses.

A t the enu of the third week lie had entirely recovered from the shock and resumed his duties. During the! brief sojourn in the whale’s belly Bartley’s sldn, where it was sxposed to' the ac­tion of the gastric Juices, underwent a striking change, His face, and hands were bleacher! to a deathly whiteness and the skin was wrinkled, giving the

r man the appearance of having been ■parboiled.

Bartley affirms that, he would prob- ably have lived inside his house of fieei: until he starved, for he !ost his senses-through 'fright and not through. Seek o ' air. 'He sayt. timtThe remem- bers rthe sensation of being lifted into the-air by the nose, of. the- whale, and of falling into the water," then there was a fearful rushing sound,, which he believed to be the beating of the wa­ter by the. whale's tail; then he was encompassed by a .fearful darkness, and he felt himself slipping along a smooth passage of . some sort that

d seemed to move and carry him for­ward. This sensation lasted but an instant. Then-he felt that ho had •.core room, He felt about him,- nnd his hands came in contact with .a yielding, slimy, substance that seemed ta shrink from bis touch.

It Anally dawned upon him that he had been swallowed by Jhe whale,' and he was overcome .with terror at the situation. He could broatho easily,: but the heat was terrible. It was not ot a scorching, stifling nature, biit it' seemed to open .the pores of his skin and to draw out his vitality. He be­came very, weals and grew sick at the

. stomach. He .knew that there was no irope of-escape from Ms strange pris­on; Death stared him ln the face, and ha tried to look at it bravely; but the awful quiet, the fearful darkness, the

. horrible knowledge of 'els environ­ments, aind tho terrible - eat Anally overcame him, anil ho must • have fainted, for the next he remembered was being in the captain’s cabin,

Bartley is not a man of a timid na­ture; but he -ay: that it was many weeks before he could pass a night without having his sleep disturbed with harrowing dreams of angry whales and the horrors of his fearful prison. Tho skin on the face and bands of Bartley hns never recovered its natural appearance. I t Is yellow and wrinkled, and looks dike old parch­ment. The health of the man does not oe«m to have been affected by bis ter­ribly experience. . He is in splenddi spirits, and apparently fully enjoys-aii the blessings of- life that come In his way. Tho whaling captains say they never knew a parallel case to this be­fore. They say that it frequetly oc­curs that, men are swaliowed by whales Who become infuriated by tB* paia at the harpoon and attack tho boats; but they have never known a. man to go through the ordeal that Bartley did and come out alive.

. Women or Forty.

At forty, if ever, the ladies know how to’make the most of themselves, which Is untrue of a vast majority in the twenties. PerhapB at no other age is tho best type of woman more strik­ingly beautiful. She understands how to exercise her;gifts and charms In the most effective fashion. The grace of perfect self-possession, often wanting, in young women, is-hers. If she was diffident, awkward and inexperienced, contact with society . has removed these imperfections. If she was, gush­ing, emotional; affected a id too: talk­ative, she has corrected' these faults and is warily winsome, where before she was positively Wearisome.

In the normal evolution of lasts sh^, hie acquired .the' rare art of dressing faultlessly,' and of avoiding- the -de­tracting infelicities of. earlier years. Her selections o£ style, color and ma­terial harmonize with, her figure, com­plexion and "the occasion, and she doesn’t look “a day over thirty.”

The woman; of forty is Infinitely more attractive 'to*men 'than' she will be In later life, when her flne com­plexion. fades-., wrinkles leave . their- marks across her brow, silver threads her. glossy hair,, her eyes, lose their luster and. her step, its sprightliness. She-may always be agreeable, but never again.so fascinating.

The; woman of forty? She dr dis­tracting, delightful, divine! Her so­ciety is a. sojace which-robs remem­brance of all remorse, and poverty of all pain. Tlie spell of her dark, depth- less eyes wakens, latent emotion into ecstatic, life, while the- music, al her voice thrills and Alls the soul with joy unspeakable.' Grace, goodness and gentleness Supplement the rare and ravishing Agure, and her welcoming smile is a precious prize, beside Which wealth-and learning and kingdoms are bill dross. Luxurious nature In the in­finite plentitude of her blessings has bequeathed to man naught else so in­toxicating nnd Incomparable as the woman of forty.—-Troy Press.

She Has Her Money Laundered.

"The demand for new bills for shop­ping is ob the .increase among wo­men,” said a local battle teller, "and is getting to be a, nuisance. A great many women won't handle any cur­rency that is hot absolutely fresh and crisp, and in the North all the banks that make a specialty of catering to women’s custom keep a supply con­stantly on hand for th a t . particular purpose. Sometimes the bills are hat d to get, especially thase of certEiin de­nomination:;, arid gold is unpopular.cn account of the danger of confus|p the {2.50 coin with a bright penny,

•“Ii is not generally known, but bills can be washed and ironed as easily as a pocket handkerchief. A wealthy wo­man of my acquaintance has aii her money, laundered before sho uses it. She turns - the - notes over to her maid, who washer, them, thoroughly in hot water with ordinary soap suds : and spreads them out on a table’ to dry. Then she dampens them slightly and. presses them with e a medium hot smoothing iron. If the bill is riot frayed..thift process will make it as bright and crisp as when it first left the Treasury. It is astonishing how dirty money gets.. If one could ear tlio water in which a dozen commonly, cir­culated bills were, washed it woo 1(1 give them a permanent aversion 10 the trade of teller.”—New Orleans r.'mc-s- Bemocrat.,' ' ‘ '

JUDGE NEVIUS’ ARM.

How He Lost That Member During: the

Civil War.Vc-ry few people in Red Bank l.now

how -Judge .Henry M. Novius, of lied Bank, lost his left arm. in '.he. Civil War. Judge, NeviuB was a member of the Twenty-fifth New York ■ Cavalry. A recent issue of a, Washington news­paper .contained the, following story concerning the battle in -which Mr. Nevius lost his arm:

The memorable battle. o£ June 12tli, 1864, when the Sixth Army.Corps met Early and drove him’ from the holds, was .participated in by this regiment, but baa it not been for the Individual work of the men there would'have been no-battle the next: day arid no capital to save. A few days previous there was a big fight near -Baltimore, and Early- secured information that Washington was unprotected: Leav­ing part of his men behind he took Rhode's division and .by. a forced march appeared before the city. The Twenty-fifth New York .was stationed at City Point, Va., and: was hastily loaded on the cars and brought to Washington; They reached there on the night of the 10th, and found the city: defenseless. There wero no trained soldiers there, nnd ahe only' pretense of defense that could io made was that by the militia and % few government clerks who were under arms.

Immediately upon their arrival they were sent out Seventh street to Bright- Wood, and on to Fort Stevens. II ere they Intrenched themselves behind the; earthworks that had been thrown nt, and prepared for the serious duty before them. At, the fort the taii lorra of Abraham Lincoln, wearing a linen duster and a aioiich hat, and the fami l­iar figure of Secretary of War Stanton appeared before them. -The President talked to the oillcers of tills little bant! of not more than Seven hundred, and cautioned them to cell their me n if they wero captured not to betray the doienselcss condition of the city.

The captains nnd lieutenants of the regiments had to assume Acid posi­tions; rind so it happened that Order­ly. Sergeant, and now Judger Henry M; Nevius, of Red Bank, N. J„ was in command of his company. When he told his men of the words of the Pres­ident, he added. “Tell the Johnnies, boys, if you aro caught, that you are the skirmish line of rhe Sixth Army Corps, which is behind you ln the works;” .

There was a long conference, and. each knew his duty. There was hope that thb Sixth Corps would come up at any time, arid safety only lay in making a feirit and trying a piece of strategy. So it was decided that when Early advanced the regiment was to leave: the works and advance in regu-. or line of battle.

This was the only engagement ever fought during the war under.the-eye of the President, and none was more, cool or more collected than he. Speak- ing of this. Mr..Nevius said :.

“The President-went about .cheeriag the trieii and cautioning them , to be Careful, Every man of us determined to die.before the eneiriy should pass us: arid get within reach of. the- capital arid bur President. We knew that no mercy wbnld. 1)0' shown iis ' with • the capital in the.hands of tlie enemy, and we preferred death rather than turn our backs upon the face of the enemy' In tlie, face of • the President. Each man had sixty rounds of ammunition, and when the skirmish line of the en­emy, with 30,000 men behind them ad­vanced, we jumped over the fortifica­tions arid advanced also. We could scarcely believe our eyes at the result. Across that field we went; straight iri line, opening Are and retiring the en­emy. Our Are was returned,, and some of the boys dropped. On we treat, and-in a few moments later that army, the flower of Early's command, stop­ped, arid then: slowly began to retreat. We pursued them in battle array sev­eral miles, and when' the sun went, down they, had retreated. The reason for thisrwas, as published by the lead­ers, on the other side after the war, that at Arst they .understood there wits- nothing in Washington but militia, biit when they saw us come out Gen­eral:. Rhodes called Earley’s attention to the; fact that , wo Were veterans— troops who moved as if they had known svhat fighting was. They Im­mediately concluded that the Sixth Corps and other reinforcements were behind us, and that wo were endeav­oring to entice them into battle so as to entrap them. This was tho very idea we lipped to carry, and it was the only hope we hart for safety. Had Early surmised the truth ho could have wiped us out of existence. Whori they left the Acids all our ammunition was gone.”

The Sixth Corps'did come up that night, arid; the big fight came oft the following day. Sergeant Nevius was wounded -'in, ;;ne arm about 2- o’clock, but tied it up and remained with the men two or three hours. He fainted twice,, and was then taken behind the works. President: Lincoln held , cat his.harid to shake that ot Nevius, but tho' sergeant, said; ,

" It Is all bloody, Mr.-Lincoln.’•'Never mind,'' replied Mr, Lincoln,

"It is tho blood of a hero.”The President promoted him to

lieutenancy of his company on the spot, , and said he would hold the majorshlp open for him until he was able to take it. But Lieutenant Mev- iuo' arm .vas amputated, and did not heal until 1868, and,ho was unable to again enter the r.ervico. His hand is now !n tho mediea museum, and is numbered 2,921.—Red Bank Standard.

How lo take Out Spots.

If tlie spot wero made by paint, and disfigures cloak'or gown; wet with benzine and rub with a woolen cloth, then wet and rub again.-

If there is a grease mark on your prettiest, frock, break an egg and touch tlio spot with a bit of tho yelk delicately, then lay a piece of white' ribbon over tlie fabric; repeat witli; fresh water threo or four times, d’ako away tho linen and rinse the spot with cold water.

If you have dropped ink on white paper you can take it out witli a camel's hair brush dipped Iri a* solu­tion of oxalic acid.

If you have dropped ink on a white apron you should wash it with oxalic acid and then with warrii water.

If the ink is on tlio carpet, try jav- elle water.

If it iB a fruit stain that spoils the apron, rub with yellow soan, put on wet starch and hang In tho sun several days.

If it Is a case of Iron rust, dip In tartaric and hang In the sun.

If tar, has dono tho mischief, rub wltlr spirits of turpentine.

Finger marks yield most easily to javelie water.—Housekeeper's Weekly.

Jusl How Thick a Bubble Is.

The capacity ot human comprehen­sion is not a little tasked at the con­clusion arrived at by scientists, who, I t now ‘appears, have succeeded in measuring the thickness of the enve­lope of soapy water enclosing the air 'ol the bubble when it has .become so -thin aa to produce rainbow dints. Thun, when showing the shade of vel­vet, it was 'onerfourth the fbiekness of the length* of nn ordinary violet wave- of light—m o sixty-thousandth of an inch—a thickness that Is eijnal to 1-240,000th of ah tacit.-. As the buh- ble continued to expand a black patch former; adjacent tr.- the pipe from which .the bubble was blown, amd tho thickness of this patch was found to bo only one-fortieth of that of the lei. section, or juat about 1-1,000,000th of. an inch.

WHAT TIIIC h o a r d o f t r a d e ltA S . DONE .

I t will no ilonbt prove intereiitih; lo

many persons to know. just*, wliat has been done by the Bonrd of Trade: on tho lines laid down nt Its organization Inst fall. Differing from other towns in respect to tho urgency or uocesslty foi- tlie location of manufactories in

Ocean Grovo, the work of the Board lias been purely In the way of adver­tising, iri exploiting tlio charms of Ocean Grove, in tolling ot Itii many

attractions, in giving to tlio peoplo of tho country some idea of tho place we desired to bring to tliolr notice. Tills has been accomplished liy a number of citectlvo measures:

1. Tho distribution of free station­ery, envelopes and writing paper. Tlie

envelope, of a special design, at once attracts attention; It is handsomely gotten up to serve its purpose. , It is

unique, and for this reason Is doubly effective. The paper bears upon It tlie “Eaeta About Ocean Grove,” tersely.; telling .the story of tlio .place. This

. stationery has boon liberally distrib­uted during the winter throughout the

Grove, and a supply has been kept constantly on liaml at tlio_hcndquar- tera of tlio Board of Trade for nil who called for it—:and tlieir name lias been legion.

2. The Ocean Grovo booklet. A tlilrty-two page, Illustrated, descrip­tive pamphlet of lmnlly pocket size,

which tells the Hlory of Occan Grovo fvom its Inception to the present day. T.\|s book is worthy of preservation.

Its compilation involved hn immeriso n Mount of labor and no llttlo expense. Great quantities of these booklets havo already been distributed. Many of tlio hotels and cottages ,' iiavo purchased

them in .large numbers, and by placing

their announcements on the cover havo one of the most effective forms of ad­vertising ever Issued.

3. The monthly illustrated Record.

As many its ten thousand of these pa­pers have boon sent out in a month.

Tho columns of tlio paper have con­tained special articles on Ocean Grove,! all of them brief and to the point.

.Tlie illustrations have been pertinent

to tlie subject matter. The paper has reached every State in tlie Union.

■ 4. A. tour-iihgo. pamphlet, "Ocean Grovo Facts.” These pamphlets con­tain Interesting opinions of many prominent persons concerning the

, placo as a summer resort, ns a relig­

ious centre, as "a place of permanent 'residence, etc.: Reasons are given also why It Is .preferred to other places by the thousands of visitors who como here. These pamphlets are for gen­

eral distribution. Thousands of them

havo beenvprintod.All of tills advertising matter. lias

been, placed where it will do the most good to tlio greatest number. None of it has been wasted. It lias reached overy section of tho United States, and somo of it has penetrated into foreign

lands.There is another direction in which

tho Board has been, particularly ac­

tive. That is .in soliciting the rail­roads for concessions in the way of

. better train service, lower fares, etc. As one result ot the effort put forth by the Board of Trade in this direc­tion we are to have eight excursions from. Pittsburg and intermediate sta-. tions the coming summer. The rate will he low enough to induce hundreds of people tp make the trip—people who

have never been bore before.Many inquiries have resulted from

the advertising done by the Board. One prominent hotel keoper tolls tho Tlmea that he lias already hod more appli­cations for rooms and rates than over before in the hlBtory of his house at this timo of 4ho year.

The Board is working out other

plans that must result in great good. These plans aro not in slmpo yet tb give to tho public. This is, in brief, an outline of the work accomplished

by tho Board of Trade. Tho oxpense of all this has been small. Every property owner and every hotel and cottage keeper in .the Grovo, as well as every person who has at heart the welfare of the-place, Bhould Join the

Board of Trade.

: V NATIONAL BANKS.

Probably ho law ever placed on tHe statuto books by the United States

Congress ever received more intelli­gent and careful consideration than the national banking act, under which practically all of the important bank- ing institutions of this country are now operated. I t was framed with particular care that the financial In­terests of the people mlght .be fully protected, and contained all essential provisions, so far as diligent study on the part of the makers could discover,

to meet every requirement of the bank­ing public: . .

Unfortunately, however, the framers of this measure to some extent over­looked the needs ot small but thriving communities, where it would be im­practicable to provide the fifty thou­

sand dollars . necesBnry to establish a bank, but where banking facilities were absolutely required, if tlie pros­perity of the territory was to be fos- tercd and the convenience of tlie pub­

lic, conserved. In order to meet these conditions, and enable people to trans­

act their business without the Incon­venience of traveling a long distance to the main institution, many national

banks opened branch offices, where do- posits were received, checks cashed and other items of banking, business, excepting the discounting of commer­cial paper, were carried on. While there was no provision in : the law either authorizing or forbidding tlie operating of these branch institutions,

the Comptroller of tlie Currency now rules that, in tho absence of specific authority to conduct tliem, it is advis­able that they be discontinued, and in consequence-ail. national banks that, maintained branch offices for the con-: venience of their patrons are closing them up. While this order-may effect

a financial saving,to the banks, it will, work serious inconvenience to the business people of many communities. Ocean Grovo being among the number, for, with its usual desire to promptly comply wltli. every requirement or rul­ing, of the Comptroller, the First Na­

tional Bank of ABbury, Park will closo Its Ocean Grove, branch; In the Asso­ciation Building today (Saturday),

The necessity for this action will be very much regretted by our people, for this institution has not only been a most valuable, aid in building up the

town, but tlte care and,fidelity with which it has executed tlie trusts com­mitted to its'care,, and tbe courteous

manner in which all business with the. general public was transacted liy its manager, have developed a strong fcei-

ing of confidence and friendship, that

will survive the temporary Inconven­ience occasioned by tho closing of the Ocean Grove ofiice, and cause them to welcome tho expected legislation that

will enable those close and cordial business relations to be resumed at the old stand in the Association Building.

Tho banquet to bo given by the Board of Trade next Wednesday even­ing promises to be a “rod lettor” event in the'annals of Ocean Grove. Enough tickets to guarantee a large attend­ance have been disposed of. Thore will be. In addition to an elaborate menu, speechmaklng by peoplo prom­inently identified, past and present, with this, place. The speakers will be confined to ten minutes each, so. tbat no one will monopolize the time.

There are two Important questions that will probably never be correctly answered—who, blew up the Maine? Who lynched Mingo Jack?—, Long Branch Record.

There is also more or less uncertain­ty as to who assaulted Billy Patterson.

Now for the Easter reunion. Extend the hand of welcome to the visltora;

It is authoritatively stated tliat Pres­ident McKinley and Vice President Hobart wlll be candidates together for renonjinatlori before theRepublican national, convention In ; 1900. Well, thatvtlcfeet-is worth, repeating. It is good enough for. any. man to vote. There will be no change in tha tnli of the ticket,- say the knowing ones; it must, lie McKinley and i Hobart or nothing. If the McKlnleyltea nomi­nate their candidate they wi'l also be

Instructed to Insist upon tlie. lenoii’ I- natlon of Garret A. Hobart. Good enough!'

Ocean Grovo should don its best bib and tucker next week. Our residents should bco to it that their yards are

put In prescntablo shape, all debris re­moved, bUBhes tied up, and that thero

Is a general clearing up all around. A grent deal depends upon making a good impression with our visitors. .This Is wortli more than pasBlng no­tice.

Councilman Harvey, of ABbury Park,

who advocates, divorcing that place from Ocean Grove, ia assured by. the Times that in the event’ of such a de­cree being granted, the alimony will re­main bn this side of the lake. Come

over to our banquet, Mr. Harvey;

The 123d legislature of Now Jorsey reached fliml. adjournment last Friday night, after being in session cloven! weeks. In all there wero B49 bills in­troduced. ; ., .

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS

Roth Houses Finished Business and Closed. up Shop Last Friday.

At 9:15 last Friday night the New Jersey. Legislature: for 181)3; adjourned sine die, although tho hour .fixed for final adjournment waa 3 o’clock that afternoon. Just before 3 o’clock the clocks 'In the two chambers were stopped.> A number of bills , wero passed in

the two houses in the afternoon, and then a series of recesses were taken In order, to give the. Governor time to sign all bills before the.session came to an end. This is an innovation In New Jersey Legislature.proceedlngs,;as' heretofore the Legislature has adjourn­ed and left in the Governor's hands from one hundred to two hundred bills to lie disposed of by him.

During the long recesses that were taken tho members ot the two houses amused themselves, and, likewise, the spectators In the galleries, by indulg­ing, in singing, making funny speech­es, etc.

When the formality of the sino die adjournment took place tho members of tho House, headed by Speaker W at­kins and Messrs, McKee and Murphy, the Republican and Democratic lead­ers, entered the Senate chamber. Speaker -Watkins, addressing Presi­dent Reed, announced that the House had adjourned sine die, and then the President'of the Senate made the an­nouncement that the hour of 3 o’clock; having arrived, he declared the orjo hundred and twenty-third Legislature of the State of New Jersey adjourned.

When the final adjournment took, place Governor Voorhees had complet­ed consideration of all bills. There were about thirty-five measures which failed to receive his approval, and these'.will be filed with the State Li­brarian, and will fail to become laws.

Among the more Important bills signed by. the Governor last Friday wero these: The appropriation bills; the bills codifying the daws relating to townships and to banks,-trust com­panies and safe deposit companies; the Passaic pollution bill; tlie measure to establish a State Board of Children's Guardians for Dependent Children, and the bill placing building and loan associations under the supervision of the Banking and Insurance Depart­ment.::! .■ • ■ ■.■■-.!■

In the House Assemblyman Murphy, the leader of tho minority, In a, com­plimentary speech, presented Speaker Watkins, on behalf of all tlio mem­bers, with a. gold watch and chain.

The. Senato. held an oxecutlve ses­sion, nnd confirmed all the, nomina­tions received from the Governor nnd; unacted- upon, with the exception of the nomination of William H. Morrow as a member of tlio State Board of Ed­ucation. The board is bi-partisan, and Mr. Morrow was nominated as. one of tho Democratic members. , He was a gold Democrat i n -1890, and his con­firmation wob objected to by. Senator Foster (Dem.), of Hunterdon, wlio is a silver man; and who claims that Mr. Morrow, because of his gold leanings, was not a Democrat. Under the rules the confirmation had to go over for n day, and as the session ended on Fri­day Mr. Morrow could not be confirm­ed. He will probably be appointed ad interim by the Governor.

Among the bills passed In the Sen-- ate were. these: Houbo bill No. KG, permitting Jersey City to establish free baths; House bill No, 179, provid­ing that withdrawing shareholders of building and loan associations shall receive at least as much as they have paid in; House bill No. 318, allowing municipalities to grant a rebate for prompt payment, of taxes; House bill No. 310, providing that horse flesh sold as food shall be so labeled; House bill No. 181, the Teachers’ Retirement Fund bill amended so as not to make it compulsory for new teachers to join the fund. ,

Among the bills passed by the House were these: Senate bill No, 1B2, estab­lishing n State Sewerago Commission; Senate bill - No. 228, establishing u State department for tho. supervision of legislative bills so supersede the present engrossing departments of the two Houses; the several township codification bills and Senate bill No. 227; which permits corporations other than railroads and canala to lease their property and franchises to each other. This latter, bill was opposed in the House by the Democrats, they charging that Its purpose was to per­mit trolley, electric and gas companies of North Jersey to consolidate House

"bill No. 10: (With the amendment), placing all building and loan associa­tions under the supervision of the Banking and Insurance Department.;

The House also passed House bill No. 311,, tha anti-trust bill, but tli,o measure /ailed,, to.-como up lu 'the Senate.' " V • ■ I

The morning session of tho Senato was given up almost entirely to dlacui -

sions, In which ’ Scndlbft/ t’&ltnc/y' an I McDermott took'leadlng parts.

Sonator McDermott tried to again bring up his bill to permit contractors for furnishing water Bupply tb con­demn property. Tbe bill he Bald was to facilitate tho furnishing of a water supply for Jorsey City by the persons who now have the contract, and was designed to lessen litigation.

Senator Pltnoy said the Dill was In the Interest of contractors, mid he and Mr. McDermott became involved in a bitter debate.

The Senate refused Mr. McDermott’s request to a ga in b r ing the Dili up.

Senator McDermott made another ef­fort to got bis riparian bill out of com­mittee. President Reed sustained tho committee’s right lo withhold the tt 'l. Mr., McDormott appealed from the de­cision of the chair, out the cbalr waa sustained by a party veto.

EASTER.

The Proper Way to Sit.

A proper Bitting position requires that the spine shall be kept straight, and that the support. needed for tho upper part of the body shall bo felt In tlie right place, says Caroline La Row in the Ladies’ Homo Journal. There­fore sit as far back as possible in the chair,' so that the lower end of the spine shall be braced against tho back of the seat. If thlB back is straight tho shoulders will also rest agalnBt it; If not, they will have no point of sup­port, and it will be found that they do not need - it. ■ • This position makes no strain upon the ligaments of the spine. It allows a proper position of the Bhoulders, consequently of the chest, consequently of the lungs, stomach, and every other organ of the body.- Their work is carried on ; naturally and: comfortably, as is also the circu­lation of the blood, which In a tfrong sitting position ia seriously interfered with. W ith the feet resting squarely upon the floor, '>;he hands resting' eas­ily upon the lap, perfect equilibrium and consequently perfect rest of the body, is secured. There is no strain upon any part of the body; no musclo or organ Is required to do more more than its legitimate amount of work. The arms should never be folded; for, this position not only' causes -a strain upon,the.spine, and all the other evllB already referred to, but. In addition, Places the weight of the arms upon tho stomach and {lie diaphragm, there­by increasing the labor of digestion and respiration. Placing the hands behind the back, or folding the arms behind tho back, if possible,, is a good attitude to take occasionally, giving, ob It does, the fullest expansion to the whole upper part of the body.

A Difference of Only $4.50, Bui—Tho Stato Boaril of Taxation has

been petitioned by Armour & Co., Long Branch, for a reduction of the taxes imposed upon their personal property at that place. At present they are assessed for $4,000, anil they say this amount Is excesslve-i-that It should not be moro than $3,000. | A re­duction of the taxes woulfl make a difference, of only $4.60, $3 on general tax and $1,60 for water tax.

OCEAN GROVE TIMES— SATURDAY, APR IL i, 1899.

SOCIAL STUDENTS,

A Visit lo tbe stock Exchange Furnishes Material for Discussion.'

Tlie twenty-first meeting of ihe Sc- d a l Students waa held at tho home of Mrs. B. Henrietta Held, 38 Nejv /oil: •avenue, Ocean Qrove, oa Monday even­ing. . ' .. ■ :■ •.

The exercises began with singing,; Mrs. Stauffer at'the organ,' after which Miss A llen, and Dr. Bird rendered a flute' and meloharp solo.

Under "Foreign Oorrespipdence" a letter from Mre. Morehouse woe read, deacrlptlveof her first visit to ' the Stock Exchange, where sht witnessed suchrio tous conduct as made her think she had reached veritable Pan­demonium; -infi giving, account ’ of a homs for colored people, with its nssd- em appointments and endless conven­iences. She also referred to that dread­f u l ' calamity—the ..burning' of tho •Windsor hotel. ' - I

This letter called out- eimBlderable discussion, Such a fire is- a sombre .esjectacle when', seen from the earthly side. But the' light of heaven touches the tarth»r border, and the goals are bom into brightness transcending the beet of earthly scenes, As to the msin­ner of death, it is well'for all to culti­vate tbe habit of not appropriating to themselves the supposed agony ot the victim It* many cases suffocation ocean before the fire reaches them. And suffocation by ssnoks or drmming is not so very terrible. A-chim that soughs its breath away in whooping- cough, • nd becomes unconscious, has suffered ns much. And, besides, fright is nature’B anaesthetic. . In the great ■fires at Beslltigo, .Wls„-the same night’ Chicago was burned, people while running for their ilves, and to save their friends, sometimes trapped to the ground without having been conscious of a:moment’s suffering. One of,the. speakers had talked with a number ot them. .

Members ot the. StacP Exchange— dignified, well dressed, awe-inspiring* Yesi in society and on' tha street; but at'the Exchange in.business hours they, are Selfish, grasping, overreaching* and no better than swine with their noses in the trough!

Miss Allen gave a biographical sketch of Garfield—courageous as a’ boy, when pinched by poverty; bravo as a lad, working on the iow-path; earnest aa a student in college; glor­ious in war; powerful in Congress; greatest as President; struck down in the zenith of his life, by an assasslr.; patient and. enduring through the v>ceks of suffering; oaehrlned in tho hearts of h!a fellbw-cltlzens; crowned by tho Lord he served so well. Roqul- escat in pace!

Dr. Blru gave a review <>f a par! of Drummond's "Naturai Law n the Spiritual World.” The bool, does not appear, to bo true. to its- title, but Is mow like spiritual law in the natural -world. The style is. heavy rand tire­some. There is a preface of twenty pages, and, an Introduction ot fifty- seven. There are separate chapters, not closely connected,. Biogenesis, or life from life, 1. e„ not spontaneous, Is tho first chapter. Spiritual life does not inhere In natural any more, than plant life in mineral."Other chapters are headed ''Degen­

eration,” "Growth,’' "Death,” "Con­formity to Typo,” etc.

The author appears to teach anni­hilation of non-ChriBtiai! souls Im­provement of character by effort is not growth. Eternal life ia not to Jive, but to know. Everlasting is but an inci­dent ot eternal life

Thesa and, other points 'drought out some lively discussion, and, on the whole, th>: boolcwas badly wrecked. Of course all sales -will stop now that the Social Student's have frowned upon it

'Do Idiots .go to heaven? No! not. as, idiots. Idiocy is often caused bj some physical deformity. .When the body dies the mind Is sot free, and begins its freedom in heaven, on a par, with others of aqual education/

Mrs. Hanlon, in the Banner, said that a part of the “lost” art of con­versation consists ia listening. Also, that lemonade is a very healthful- drink, good for sick and well alike, as she would prove at the Well; In the .Reformed Qimreh lair next week; It is far more beneficial whea paid for at the rate o f. five cents a glass.'

Whey a young woman liecdmes en­gaged to'be married she fancies every ­body knows it; and, 'as-a matter of fact, it isn’t a difficult thing to detect., Probably 'tha reason why people are so liberal iri their praise of men after they are dead Ilea in the fact that flattery ia not' likely to give a .dead man the big head.—Boston Transcript,

Bloodthirsty Dogs.

A brood of young chickens owned by Daniel- Minton;' of Fair Haven, were killed by a isos owned by James Van Brunt.' Mr, Minton saw the dog as It was killing the last of the chickens. He got his gun and killed the dog.

Last week at Kednsburg Mrs. Susan Brown died, It is. aaid, from the effects of a terrible, beating which she receiv­ed ' on Tuesday at the, hands' o f her husband, Olive; Brown.

“ PUN IN COREA.”

Stone Fights Which" Arc as Funny and Almost as Dangerous. as Baseball.

'Kite-flying, which la universal in this country, oeascs suddenly on tlie 15th ot tho flrst'Cofcnn month, and tlie next day stono fights tako its placo as tho chief public amusement. In tlio eastern part of Seoul, the cap­ital, there aro large open -spaces’ that have not been built upon, and horo occur the most serious nnd interesting fights. One section ot the city Is pit­ted against another, hut nny ono can take a hand.oh either side at pleasure. Thero are nn recognized !c:iders, but tho masa ot fighters readily follows tho lead ot any one who shows hlni- sieif to bo a little more reckless than tho rest. Two mobs, couslsling of fifty, seventy or a hundred.-men each, aro drawn up against each other, with

■ na interval of perhaps fifty yards be­tween them. Thero is nn incessant shower of stones, and each man’s busi­ness Is to' hit ns many men: as ho can. and especially to avoid all'the stones directed at him. From .ten to twenty men on each side are armed with stout club;., and wear thick wadded helmets. These'form the skirmishing line. They aally forth from their re spectlvo Bides, nnd, meeting in mid career, strike out viciously at each other’s heads each man holding up his cloak with his left haiid as a shield lo ward oil the blows nf his adversary. After tho cliib fight has lasted about thirty seconds, one side or the other begins to givo way, which Is the sig­nal for a rush of tho.others Almost invariably tho other side breaks and runs, and sometimes are chased Into their houses, but generally somo of the pursuing party press lo» closely on the fugitives. Then tbe latter sud­denly turn nnd deal a few staggering blows, which check the pursuers, and In n few seconds the tables aro turned, and . tlioso who a moment ago wore flushed wltli victory are now in full flight with their enemies. Thus the battle goes bnclt and forth across the fields,.while the neighboring embank­ments aro crowded with spectators. Tiio effect of tho thundering cheers of the spectators upon tlio combatants Is marvelous.

They charge upon each other as If in actunl battle, and show what would he bravery If exerted in some useful cause. Near the river arc numerous villages numbering from 100 to 000 houses each. They arc situated a ion;;

:the banks nt Intervals of about a half a mile. Thoso keep up a continual se­ries of fights amon ; themselves during the season, ono village being arrayed against another. The defeated party fly across the marshy fields to their own village, followed by their ene­mies, Who enter after them, seizing anything on which they can lay their hands—Iron,' dies, doors—to mark their victory. Then the whole, village rises ngninst the invaders, nnd they fly, glad if they get back without broken heads. The first stono fight of tbe present season was rather more disastrous than usual. It is reported that six men were hilled; but this Is probably an exaggeration. A rom- -p&ay -of soldiers was ordered pu l, to stop It, which they found some diffi­culty. in doing, even with fixed bay­onets.-—Corcnn Correspondence of n Japanese Paper. .

Business Prospects. In ih: Philippines.

Tho retail business of the Philip­pines, as well as the smaller wliole- salo houses, are in the hands of Chinese merchants. They have trad­ed with the natives for renturies, and havo carried on their business In every centre ot the population. Intermar­riage wjth native's nnd the consequent assimilation of races have given the Chinese a superior advantage with tl-.o Filipinos, which they have utilized to <ho utmost. Tha bciwlleence of « gov­ernment instituted by the United Stntes will afford them an opportunity to extend tlielr control to the largest undertakings. Content with the smallest profits and wages, able to live In comfort on fifteen cents a day, tboy have intrenched themselves in the business affairs of the Philippines loo strongly to bo displaced.. They supply tho Islands with all kinds of gords. for which there is a demand, and the prox­imity of this , market to Clilnu and Japan eliminates the freight rate us a factor, while the greater distance that separates us from Manila makes the same charge an almost unsnrmount- ahle barrier, 1 know It Is argued .that accessibility nnd not distance should determine tlie commercial value of a possession, but so long as steam con­tinues to bo the motive power for ves­sels. and railroads tlio timo between San Francisco and Manila will con­tinue approximately as It is how, arid' all American gooiiu sent to the Philip­pines for sale will be burdened by, 'raffle charges almost great enough in themselves to bar us‘ out of that, mar­ket.—From Material Problems in the Philippine Islands, by Samuel W. Hel­ton!, in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for April.

What a Horse Can Do.

A horso will travel 400 yards in four and a half minutes nt a walk, 400 yards in two minutes at a gallop. T)ia usual work of a horse Is .taken at 22,600 pounds raised one foot per min­imi for eight hours per day. A horse will carry 250 pounds twenty-five mileB per day of eight hours. An average draft horso will draw 1,600 pounds twenty-three miles per day on a level road, weight of wagon Included.

The usual weight of a horse is 1,000 pounds. His strength is equivalent to that of five , isien. ,jh a horse mill moving at ilirea feet per: second, track twenty-five feet In. diameter,, ho exerts ■with the machine' the power of four and. a halt hordes. Tho greatest amount a lmrso can pull in a horizon­tal lino is 900 pounds, but ho can only do this momentarily; In continued ex­ertion probably half, of tils is ih* limit. He attains Ills growth In five years, w ill.live twenty-five, -average sixteen years. A horso wlil live twen- ty-flvo days on water. ■without solid food, but only five days oa solid food without drinking.-—Tbe' Human World.

USES OP THE UMBRELLA

Asa Weapon of Defence It Is Not to Be Despised.

"An umbrella Is ono of the most useful articles that a man can carry with him," said Lamar J. Saunders, front Jackson, Miss. One can bo-used In a dozen different ways. When the sun is shining hot or when it is rain~i ing, a man without an umbrella must either remain indoors or suffer. As a weapon of defence there ia nothing better.: You can keep a man at his distance with onp better, .than you could with a stick. You . remember what a conspicuous part tlio umbrella played in the tragedy at Homestead, la tho hands of the infuriated women; N extto ’a shotgun or a pistol, there Is no morq. dangerous weapon.

“I reifiember one' timo I was In a hotel -that caught afire early in ' the morning. The guests were awakened by tha stifling; smoke an4 noise. My room'was on the second floor, and by tho time. I isati slipped,on my pants the firo lmd. gained sueh headway that all avenues of escape were closed. ,But there was my umbrella and a window, and the rest of tho way was easy.

“Another time I - was walking thro,ugh a pasture When a bull, With 'his eyes ablaze wlLh fire, inado for n't':,I kept my sense, and when he got within about fifty yards of me I ran towards him, opening and dosing the umbrella as fast,as I could, The bull wheeled around and ran from mo fast­er than he ever ran before in'his ..life.' “And for frightening dogs I had: rather liavo an umbrella than an ar­senal."—St. Louis Republic.

Walking In a Circle.

The fact that-people lost bn a desert or in a forest invariably walk in. a eir- clo is due to slight inequality in the length of- the legs.. Careful: measure­ments -of a serieo of skeletons have shown that only 10 per cent, had the lower limbs equal'in length; 35 per cont. had tlie right limb longer than the left; Whllo In 55 per cent, the left leg was tlie longer.

Tho result of one limb being longer than the other will naturally be tliat a person will unconsciously tako a longer step with tho longer limb, and consequently will trend to the right or it the left, according as the left or right log is longer,'Unless the tendency to deviation is corrected by the eye. .

The left leg being more frequently tlte longer; as evidenced by measure­ment ut' the skeleton, the inclination should .tako place more frequently, to tlio right than to tha left, and tills conclusion is quite borne out. by ob­servations made on a number or per­sons wliea walking blindfold.

Further, on measurement af the arms it .is' found that In 72 per cent, tbe right arm is longer than tho loft., while in '24 per cent, the left arm is the longer, showing that a consider-, able majority of persons are right- handed and left-legged. - The inequal­ity in. tlio length of the limbs is not conflncd to any particular sex or -acc, hut seems to be universal in all re­spects.—Pearson's Weekly.

Suspicious People.

People who suspect everybody arc very unhappy, and wo know of no remedy, for their discomfort except self-iniprovomont. Let thsni root out of themselves whatever vicious pro­pensity they suppose to have its coun­terpart la the breasts -if all mankind, and their opinions of their felllow-mon will at once change for the hotter. People who have no faith In their l.ind aro dangerous poisons to deal wltli. Taking It for gr.mt.rd that everybody with'whom they conie In business con­tact la bent on overreaohins them, their object .is to spike the enemy's Ar­tillery by being the first to overreach. damlor is jost upon them; they c on­sider,it refined liypoivsy. Favors they look’ upon as cunningly devised lures; intended to. lead them into' a trap, and while. receiving , them willingly, chuckle inwardly at the thought that they are old birds,- and cannot be caught by any such devices. Nobody will Ioso anything by avoiding such peoplo.—Now York Ledger.

Some Simple Home Remedies.

For sore throat, beat the white of an egg stiff, with all tho sugar and lemon it will hold, and tho juice of one lemon,’ , :

For chafing, try fuller's earth pul­verized; moisten the surface first when applying it. Oxide of sine ointment Is also excellent.

A good dentrifice is made of two ounces of pulverized borax, four ounces of precipitated chalk and two .ounces. <>‘ pulverized castile soap.

For a cold, boil one ounce of flax seed In a pint of water, strain and add a little honey, one ounce Of rock candy and the Juice < three lemons. Mix and boll well. Drink as hot as possi­ble. -

A remedy for a cold in the head which is highly indorsed is; Trini- trato of blsmut.li, six .drams; pulver­ized gum arable, two drams, and hy- drochlorato of morphia, two grains. This Is used as a snuff, creates no pair,, and causes the entire disappearance of tho symptoms In a fow hours.—Good Housekeeping.

EASTER . MONDAY EGG-ROLLING

Thousands of Children Spend a Joyous Day in the. White House Grounds,

Clifford Howard, in writing of tho annual Easter Monday egg-rolling }n the White House grounds at Washing­ton, gives, a fine glimpse of the sport in the April Ladies’ Home Journal. "The chief paints of attraction,’* he says, “are the mounds or hillocks that rise ih the gentle slope from the lawn in yarious parts of tho grounds. Their sides are richly carpeted with soft, thick grass, and here it is that- the llttlo children roll their egga. They clamber iip the hillside with their baskets, tlie llttlo tots crawling up an hands and knees, and then turn and roll the eggs one' by one down the green slope But the children'-do not confine themselves to rolling eggs. Many of them taka more pleasure-In sitting about in groups aiid picking eggs with one another. This is done by striking two eggs together oh their points. The on? whose egg. is broken iii this encounter is the loser, nnd gjves up his egg to the other,: This game Is particularly enjoyed by the colored children, for it gives them a good opportunity and a good excuse to eat eggs, and there/is nothing they like .better. Preparatory to ar. encounter, each little follow tests the hardness of ills egg by knocking it against his teeth. If It can stand this test i t is considered a good one for picking, and the owner sallies forth with - a broad: grin,, confident of success. The boy wlio owns a goose egg or a turkey egg is a prince amoiig his fellows. Occa­sional!;/ stleh a boy appears. In all probability iiis shoes are torn, his clothes are patched, arid his woolly head is adorned with an antiquated and moth-eaten fur cap.- But lie could bo no prouder nor command more re­spect if he were adorned with regal robes. He is'immediately surrounded’ and followed wherever he goes by a band of admirers, who adopt him as their champion and defy anybody to- pick an egg with him.”

He Meant Florida.

Comedian Billy Crane recently at­tended lu New York one of those mad­dening social functions known aa a 4 o'clock tea.

Among those present were two sis­ters whose resemblance to each other was so close that It would mildly per­plex a new acquaintance to tell them apart. '

The first sister, is a. widow whose Jiusband passed into tho eventful un­certainty about two years ago, the- sec­ond if! the wife of one of the best known hotel- men In Florida., Mr. Crane was acquainted with these facto in a vague way, hut1 didn’t pay particular attention, to them. In. the course of events the comedian was captured by. one of the fair ones; and with the serene conviction that he was talking to the bride of the Florida nittn, he did, in the patois of the pro­fession, "his prettiest.”‘ “Dear me,” siio said, • during a se­quence of strikingly original remarks, "It's warm, isn't it?”

“Yes," sighed Crane, “but net half so hot as where your husband Is."

She rose with a .highly refrigerated air and stalked awav.

It was. the widow.—New Haven Register.

Exchanging; Passwords.

The Alliance in a certain small town in Weakley county Is in the habit of mooting in tho same hall as the Knights of Pythias. One night not jong ago a member of the Alliance saw a light in the-hall, and supposing his order was in session, sauntere.l up and knocked on tho doer. The doer was opened and an Inquiring face ap­peared;

"I plan-. I hoe, 1 spatle," solemnly remarked the Alliance man.

“Tho devil you do!” replied tho man on the inside, closing the door.

Tho Alllancc man told the story lo his follows. They were nlavme I. “Why, you have given away our pass­word!” they exolal mod. ■

“ Yes," complacently responded the hero of the story, “but 1 found out theirs."—Nashville American.

MIRIAM^_DEEAM.

"You won’t really go at this time of tho year, will you?"

"Rather! I ’d go In December If Dick were at the ond ot the journey."

‘‘Woll, I would not cross the Atlantic in tho mlddlo of November for a dozen sweetheartB.”

Miriam laughed gleefully. She and Dick had beon separated for three years, and now ho has fallen tato a good berth in Toronto, and had writ­ten to her to decldo whether they ehould both Bpend their winter In lone­liness or whothor sho would go to him and settle down at once as his wife.

Miriam did not hesitate a moment, she tet aside tho shortest time possible, for winding up her affairs In England and arranged to sail in the “Slvonlan”

-from Liverpool to Halifax.“But you'll have a dreadful overland

journey after that; It must bo a long way to Toronto,” said her friend Nora. “I don’t know how you’ll get through; all by yourself.”

"Ah! but I ’m not going to! Dick has been sent by his firm to New York on Eomo business, and he intends to take a borth in the Meldrum, a coasting steamer, which'will bring him to Hall- fat about the same time that I get there.”

Miriam, was in a fever of joy, ahd waa altogether, oblivious of Buch Bmall matters, aa Intense cold, a pitching, roiling ship and battened down hatches.. Tho good Bhip fought gaily through a stormy Ice-threatened sea, and at last a morning broke, when the sun! shone fair, and tho waves,, sank Into a comparative calm. Passengers swarmed on deck, congratulating each other on their escape from prison, and the anxious captain sighed with reller to think that the worst was over. He was upon his bridge, stamping up .and" down to keep the, blood circulating in his feet, when' ahead of them he saw. a strange speck dancing on the waves.

As It drew nearer he found It to be an apparently empty boat; and he Bent off ono of his boats to tBw the stray to tho steamer. When it reached tho side, liowever, tlio limp form of a Bail­or was lifted from It. Under care and good treatment tho blood began to run again through his stiff veins, and ho waa ablo to tell what had befallen him. Hut beforo that happened his boat had been hauled on deck, and the name up-

'o n it, Meldrum, made known."How funny!" cried Miriam, "a

6teamer sailing from New York to Hal­ifax is named Meldrum.”

“Ay! missle,” said a sailor, omnious- ly, "and thlB is ono of hor boats."

“But how can it be? How could It have got loose out here?". " If that poor chap livfts he can tell us that, and no one else perhaps.”

After some time the sailor’s words began to beat into Miriam’s stupefied brain;- she tried to speak .io someone Btatidlng near, but her tongue would not move, only her knees ' shook so much that she nearly fell. ' Her neigh­bor drow her to a seat.

“Is the Meldrum wrecked?” Miriam asked with tragic eyes.

“I do not know; but I hope not; that poor fellow will toll us if ho lives."

That ovening It was known that the "Meldrum" had collided with1 another vessel In the otorm, and that-though all boats had been lowered they had, ono after another/been swamped. The rescued sailor had just jumped into one when Its ropes Bnapped, and he was therefore, tho only person saved.

The stewardess took tho tidings, with a cup of tea, to Miriam, aB sho lay in­ert and despairing on hor sofa, and she let tho woman gOBsIp out hor nows without uttering a sound. At last, the stewardess went away, and Miriam lay still, not thinking, only Buffering.

Later Bhe crawled Into her bed, where through the night, visions of Dick, as a boy, as a youth, as a man, -rushed through her mind. Sometimes she saw his face shining through the darkness, but when'she clasped him round tho neck he was cold as Ico and wet with salt water. ‘ : .

When she'awoke sho was out on tho upper deck and not alone. By her side stood someone—a huge man, a giant, who seemed to reach to tho «ky. His

clothes changed their color from light to dark, from black to brown. His great body undulated all the time,,and when he put his arm round her ho seemed to bo surrounded with a dry suffocating Warmth. Then ho pointed a long arm to the northeast, and seem­ed.to slip farther away, though he still stood by her side; the monster length­ened Into miles. Miriam followed him with straining eyes, when a flash of lightning lit,up the sky and sea.. It played for a moment round a distant spot, which th e , giant Was touching, and ln that moment she saw a picture which Bhe never forgot. .,

In the little circle of light a boat rocked helplessly upon thb waters; un- dor. a sail were crouched some dozen people, trying, by huddling together, to keep the warmth in their bodies. She knew that Dick was there, and called his name shrilly; thero was a sudden movement in tho human heap, a white face peeped out; and then the vision passed.

Miriam lay In her berth, the new dawn already lightening the sky. Then feverishly she got up and went on deck, to see nothing but the grey sky and greyer sea, to ■ hear' nothing ■ but, the throbbing of ’the engines 'and the sough of wind and waves. Breakfast time came, but Bhe heeded It not; for hours she, stood immovable, gazing to the northeast over the bulwarks. What did that, dream of hers mean? Was Dick, floating somewhere helplessly, with other passengers?

It was noon wlfen.the wind, veering, sent a cloud of smoke over her head and a shower of black smudgea upon her hands; with them came a passing sensation of warmth. This slight in­cident awoke some vague memory con­nected with her dream;

The black column of smoke changing at Its edges to brown, thinning out un­til she could see tiie gray sky'through , it, starting ever from her side, and yet reaching far into the distance, caught

. her eye. ■Inspiration followed quickly. The

smoko was the giant of the night be­fore, and whero It pointed lay, Dick and his companions! sight danced Into her eyes, hope beat strongly ln her heart. She turned a glorified face to the ship. What could she do? How save them?

She saw a foot surmounted by blue cloth moving methodically on the deck above, and in a moment flew up the stairs leading to the'captain’s bridge. The captain turned, round sharply at the. sound of strange footsteps and per­emptorily ordered her down; Clutch­ing his arm she cried:

“Captain! They are out there under the line of smoke! ;A dozen-survivors of the Meldrum are drifting helplessly and nearly dead!"

The captain glanced In the direction indicated. How should this frantic young woman have seen what his prac­ticed eyo could not discern? Then Ue guessed that she was the', perspn who, they said, had lost her leaver in thb wreck.

“My dear,’’ lie cried, . patting her hand, “go to your berth and lie down. You are in great trouble."

But the.haggard hopeful eyes Btared brightly At him.

"For' the love,of humanity, captain', use your glass. You will see them. I know you will.” '. ,

To humor her he took a careful sur­vey of the horizon, upon which the sun was shining. At first ho .shook his head, then he stood for a long time examining the spot under the thin edge of the line; of smoke... He rubbed, his glasses well and. looked again, then said, quietly:■ ■ .“Something is . there!. S it . down in that corner and wait!” . . .

The course of tho steamer was alter­ed slightly, a boat lowered once more to gather in the ocean's drift. To his intense surprise the captain saw that the distant object was really a boat, without Ball or oar. How could this girl, have known it? Then the group of people became visible, all evidently in the last stage of exhaustion, and .lie went over to Miriam and told her to look through ills glass, and see if her friend were there. \

Sho took it from his hand with a wild sob, nnd gazed leng and steadily at tho coming boat, then gave the glass back, in the midst of a passion of weeping, nodding her head to signify that she had seen Dick. Then she set herself to regain self-control by the time the,boat came In. When It did she was waiting' in the hospital for her beiaived.

For the next twenty-four hours she shared the duties of nurse, with one of the stewardesses, and saw Dick’B eyes open with the flrst.gleam of conscious­ness In them. With a. contented look at her he fell asleep, and on. the ship’s arrival at Halifax he, with all those who had bee:: saved, were well enough to be moved to more comfortable quar­ters on shore. .

Tho captain made, frleuds with Mi­riam during those, few hours, and learned how It was that she knew the boat was afloat. He could hardly be­lieve, it, and he could not explain It, hut was contented to accept the fact as it stood, and to be present at'the simple ceremony which made DIclc and Miriam man and wife.

.TESTS FOR INSANITY.

Rale o f Thumb Methods W hich Very

Frequently' Fall. ;

Most people imagine, said a nerve specialist, that doctors have some In­fallible test by , which, they can de­tect Insanity immediately. Of course, that's all nonsense. There are many odd methods of diagnosing Buch caseB, however. In locomotor ataxia .the patient cannot walk with his eyes shut. In incipient paresis there Is difficulty In articulating particular letters, and one famous scientist used to make his patients any ‘national Intelligencer. A man with an incipient case of the dis­ease can’t pronounce these-wordB dis­tinctly to Save his soul. Another very eminent: practitioner employed 'truly rural’ for the same purpose. If you have paresis I would advise you not to try to say ‘truly rural’—at least not in company.

"The ‘knee-jerk!, test is well known to physicians. To apply it. the legs are crossed nnd a sharp blow struck just below the kneo of the limb that Is swinging loose. . I f the subject; Is all right there will be a prompt reflex action; In other words, bis foot will fly up In spite of nil efforts to keep it quiet I f not, there is something wrong, and tlmt reminds me of a tragic incident which oecured In a southern court not many years ago. A man wns being examine.. for insanity, and one of the lawyers made the experts the butt of a, great deal of ridicule; He scofTcd''particularity at tiie knee-jerk test and asked to have it applied to himself. There .was no reflex action, aud tlie fact had a powerful effect on tiie Jury, especially as the lawyer hap­pened to lie a man ot brilliant .'attain­ments.' After the trial was over he got to thinking about the matter, and in spite of his skepticism concluded to submit to a thorough private examina­tion. I t wns made and discovered un­deniable ■ signs of locomotor ataxia, dooriiiug him to a certain aud lingering death. . ; ' •'

■■ Queer Beliefs! About Seven; •••;■

So numerous, are the queer beliefs concerning the number seven that a narration of them all would fill a vol­ume, but wo may mention a few of them. I'’rom the very earliest ages tho Beven great planets were known and ruled tills world nnd tlie dwellers ln It, aiid tlieir number entered into every eonceivnble matter that couccrned man. There lire seven days in the Week, “seven holes In the bead for the master starB are seven,” seven ages both for man and the world in which he lives. There were seven material heavens, nnd ln the underworld de­scribed by Dante the great pngnn dead who were not good enough for heaven or' lind enough for hell reposed In n seven-walled and seven-gated city, 'ihoro are seven colors in the spectrum aud seven notes in the diatonic octave, and the “loading’’ note of the scale Is the-seventh.', Be it noted that the sev­enth son Is not always gifted, with beneficent powers. In Portugal lie is believed to lie subject to the powers of darkness and to be compelled every Saturday evening to assume the llke- uess of an ass.

From Our Regular Correspondent

Washington, Monday, March 27. President McKinley had decided to

return to Washington early thiB week before ho got the news of the begin­ning of what there Is every reason to believe will be the final campaign against' the organized • Filipinos . by General Otis, but it is probable that the fighting so victoriously started by the troops of General Otis on Satur­day, and continued on Sunday, would be continuous until Agulnaldo’s forces have been crushed, would have caused him to do so anyway, as It is perfectly natural that ho should wish to be in Washington while the fighting Is go­ing on. This Ib , hot because of any Jack of confidence In General Otia. He has so much confidence In him that he has refused to Interfere with the order issued by General Otis putting a stop to the negotiations by agents of Spain for the ransom ot Spanish prisoners held by Agulnaldo—but because ot his belief that it la the duty of the Com- mander-in-Chief of the army and navy to be at headquarters when hla subor­dinates are fighting. Acting Secretary of War Melklejohn and Adjutant-Gen­eral Corbin, who have beon at tho War Department almost continuously since the fighting began, are highly pleased with the successful manner In which the plans of General Otis have so far been, carried out, and they are both, confident that Agulnaldo’s army will be .a thing of the past In a few days, and that, with the exception of a little bushwhacking on the part of those who may succeed ln escaping to the interior, the end of tho war ln tho Philippines is in Bight. -....-

“Are you a dollar man, or a‘ ten dol­lar one?" That question. Is. asked of every prominent Democrat who has shown his face In Washington since the ridiculous controversy between Bryan, and Belmont over the $10 Jef­ferson dinner in New York, and Bry-: an’s acceptance of an invitation to at­tend the $1 JeIferson> dinner. In the samo town, has been before the public by every one who Is on terms suffi­ciently /familiar to justify a little “Kidding.” Democrats are; as a rule, not willing to ta lk , for publication’ about the silly and ridiculous affair, but Mr. Bryan would bo crestfallen If he could hear the diBgusted manner In which many of them talk about It among friends. Republicans are sim­ply amused. They did not regard the chances of the Democrats to win next year,, with Bryan or anybody elBe, aB, sufficient to make . their lessening, which this controversy will certainly do, a cause for any particular rejolc- lng. . . . v -“"J: .- ’ \

Senator Quesada, . who represented tlie. alleged Cuban republic In Wash­ington, although never officially' rec­ognized by this government, from al­most the beginning of the Cuban revo­lution until deposed by the-Cuban As­sembly the other day, is still in Wash­ington. Ho takes a hopeful view of the situation in Cuba, and believes that everything will come out right In the end. He said: “I think we aro going to get a fair deal. I think that the United States will do well by Cuba, and that Cuba is worthy of the sncriiiccs that have been made In her behalf by tho United States." He thinks the question of annexation is ono that should be and will be loft un­til Cuba iiaa a government and Con­gress properly elected by Its people to decide whether It would prefer main­taining an independent republic or be­ing annoxed to the United States. He says he is, perfectly satisfied that tlio people bf the United States would not consent to the annexation of Cuba

.upon any other basis than the request of a majority’ of the people.

The: Military Court of Inquiry Is again sitting In Washington. It . Is ex­pected that it .will finish Its work in a' few days and. make its’ report. All statements of tlie nature of that report are guesses. .

Ex-Representative.King, of Utah, Is a Democrat,, but the following re­marks made by him in Washington In­dicate his ability to size up the polit­ical situation without-prejudice: “I am Inclined to believe that the Re­publicans will renominate and elect McKinley. The hero-worshlppers In the Democratic party are determined upon Bryan’s nomination, whether ho can be elected or not.”

Senator Hansbrough, who has earn­ed a reputation as a careful observer, of the political drift of the country, gives this summary of past, present and future: “The mistakes in the con­duct of the war were all minimized by glorious success every where. Tlio Dem­ocrats will go a-mouthing beforo the people ail of the complaints about the little things, . They never size up to the great things. The war was so short that.lt was over beforo the faults and wickednesses were ulscovered. If the war had been prolonged all of tho misdoings of contractors would have been discovered, and they would have been punished. McKinley’s adminis­tration has brought success, at .every point and prosperity to every part'of the. land. Of course he will be renom­inated and rerelected."

How the Fan Originated.

The beautiful Rau Si, daughter of a powerful Chinese mandarin, was as­sisting at - the feast of lanterns; At last she became overpowered by the heat and was compelled to take off her mask, but It was against all the laws, written or unwritten,, ot the Chinese for a woman to expose her taco to tho Idle gaze of the public. So the charming Rau Si held her mask before her face and gently fluttered It to and fro to cool herself. Tho court ladles present noticed it, and In an instant a hundred other muskB wero waving back and forth. This was tho birth of the fan, which today takes the place of the mask In China.—Chi­cago Herald. ,

One Thins the Monkey Cannot Do. ■

The monkey's Intelligence has never' been able to arrive at a point which enables that animal to achieve thei un­tying of a. knot. You'may tie a mon­key with a cord, fasten with the slm- pliest form of common knot,--and un­less the beast can break the string or gnaw.it In two he will never get loose. To untie the knot requires observa­tion and reasoning power, and though the monkey may possess both, he haB neither In a sufficient degree to enable him to overcome tho difficulty.—Globe- Democrat ' ,

GROWING GOLD

The Mystery Explained by a Chemist’s Experiments.

I t Is generally supposed that the nag gets which arc found Jn tb» v’.ra gravels of Klondike and other aurifer­ous regions have been brought down by the .rivers direct from tho reefs ia Which tho gold originally lay.

Many practical miners and ecicnttda men, however, have long been of thq opinion that this cannot be tbe case, fox' no masses of gold of bo large a size are ever found la tbe reefs themselves They believe, on tho other hand that the nuggets have grown whore thes? are now found, .inn as a crystal ot salt will grow is strong brlns; but with bo Insoluble a substance as gold it la difficult to understand how suclt growth could take place. Experiment* carried out iri. Australia iittve shown that decaying ■ vegetable matter will cause - the deposition - of gold from solutions o f gold salts, but theso salts aro not known to occur in reefs.

Tho mystery Is now solved. A Sift” onlc chemist named Zzlgmody has iust Bhowsj tlmt gold itself enn ox Ip . In soluble forsn. By acting on a sllghtlj alkaline solution of ft gold salt with formaldehyde and submitting tha pro­duct to dialysis he has succeeded In ob­taining gold in a collodion! condition, In which state it is soluble in water nnd may be precipitated by the addi­tion of common salt. I t Is washed out by the rain, carried awny In solution liy tbe rivers, and deposited in the river gravels whereevor there is any­thing containing salt to causc its pre­cipitation. In tbe course of ages a large nugget may be formed in this

Courageous Animals.

i". North America-one of the largest of Hie weasel,family is tlie “Usher,” n very large, long-furred polecat, living m'aluly iiy the waterside, and. like many Others of the tribe very partial io fish. It weighs about .sixteen pounds, and its long, richly colored fur in exported in gren.t quantities, to dif­ferent parts oi’ Europe, though not often used in this country. A trapped "Usher” will attack anyone who cornea in reach of the trip chain, and when free will beat off any dog of twice Its size. But perhaps the most • striking example of the Courage of the smaller species-yet recorded is that known, as the fishing cat, which, though ao, reia: tlon, to the Canadian “Usher," is. quite nsj courageous. One of these, which, was: kept in - a menagerie, broke through inti* .the next cage, and there attacked and killed a leopard which was three tiriies Its own size.

The Indian mongoose possesses nil the courage of tlie polecat, together

'with amiability and a “regulated” mind.. I t turns its ;duck and prowess to good ends, nnd we imagine it to stand nt the head of tho list of tbo smaller animals'if quality aa well aa quantity Is demanded as a innrk ol Intrepidity. There is no doubt that tbe mongoose realizes the deadly nature of the cobra's bite, its intense excite­ment is strong evidence of this. But a mongoose has been known te iight just as bravely against other foes. One was seen to ottael; and drive offa. large greyhouuO which It fancied was hostile to I t
