WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.WASHINGTON. June 22,

No man iu public Uteia nearer to the Amer-ican farmer to day than the Hon. J. H. Brig-ham, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,whose valuable services as Master of theNational Orange have brought him in closetouch -with that great class of citizeus. Hisviews upon conditions and prospects are in-teresting to all, but especially BO to that bodyof men and women to whose interests be hasdevotf rf so much tlino and thought.

Talking with your correspondent yesterdayabout the progress of the work being done bythe Republians here, he Bald;

"The Administration has been eamestljadvocating the early passage of measures thaiwill correct the evil results of the Wilson low-taritr-free-raw-materlal law, — a measurewhich is expected to give adequate protectionto the agricultural interests and with a tend-ency to remove the present existing depres-sion. There has been less delay than in anyprevious legislation of the kind. The woolgrowers and wool buyers are waiting withsome Impatience the passage of the bill regu-lating the duties upon imported wool andwoolens, "Wool Is now ready for market, andthis suspense is very detrimental to both sellerand buyer, as they do not know just whatrates of duty will be fixed. The farmers arevery earnest In demanding adequate protec-tion on all farm commodities grown here incompetition with similar products grownabroad and sometimes imported into thiscountry, and the Administration is fully com-mitted to this policy of giving ample protec-tion to agricultural products,11

What do you think about the revision oftho tariff schedules in the Senate?"

'The new tariff bill as it passed the Houseis believed to be more In the interests of agri-culture than the bill as amended la the SenateCommittee. Now that the measure Is underdiscussion In the Senate there is good reasonto believe that it will be properly amendedbefore It becomes a law. I t Is very cheering

nute the breaking up of old partisan lineson this question. The old tariff-for-revenue-only slogan, so long relied upon by the lead-ers of one of the Ereat political parties, haslargely lost Its influence, and the representa-tives of agricultural districts, without fear of;he old-time leaders, do not hesitate to BUD-port measures calculated to give some portionof the protective system to their constituents.

believe that no party which advocates freeraw material and protected manfacturedgoods can ever again secure a strong follow-lug among the agricultural classes."

What do you say, Mr. Brfglmn, la regardto the delay in the Teturn of prosperity f1

'I Is hardly fair to expect beneGU from aprotective system before the law has beenmacted. People should not forget that we

are still living under the Wilson low-tarlff-roo-raw-umterial measure, and thatatpres-mt the only advancement or improvement in

conditions la the anticipation of the goodeffects of the new measam. Progress on the>ill is much greater than has been expected>y those well informed and familiar with tar-In! legislation, and the measure will undoubt-edly soon become a law, and not by the votesif one party alone. But the bue and cryigalnet the delay in the coming of prosperity

is not properly chargeable to the Ignorance ofthe farmer and workiogman on this subject.They are pretty well informed. This crycomes principally from the cheap politicianswho are striving to make capital out of thematter. There 1B no sense in asking for this•romfsed prosperity before the passage of anil which will cut off the enormous importa-

tions of foreign stuff, and give the country achance to right iteelf. When the remedy Utried and fails it is time enough for people tosay that we ore mistaken and unable to brlagirosperity."

"Wliatdo you think of the proposition forn export bounty on farm products, which

was rejected by the Senate P"There might be nome temporary benefite,

nit if it stimulated production the effectwould be disastrous to the faimer, Whattroubles the farmer now and makes low

iices for bis productions is tho fact that heis now producing moro than the market willreadily absorb of certain commodities. Bolong as he cootinuee to do this he must becontent with low prices. If the bounty shoulditimiilate the production and increase thesurplus in the markets of the world, it wouldhave the effect of decreasing the price re-ceived by the farmer rather than increasingit. I t is a departure from the policy of thosewho believe in protection. The protectivepolicy advocates the encouragement of pro-duction in those lines where we are now notproducing enough to Bupply our own people,but are dependent to an extent on foreigncountries for our supply. This propositiondoes not have such a purpose. It proposessimply to donate to the farmer certain boun-ces on products exported, and it is doubtfulwhether it would, at the most, havef morethan a temporary bentficlal effect, with atendency to bad reactionary results.11

. Drowned In tbo Canal.Harry Moore, aged nine years, foster Bon

}f William Forrester, wholivesinMaVarlan'spark, was drowned bta last Monday after-100a while bathing in the canal a short dis-

tance east of what is known as as Young'sick. The young boy, who could not swim,'as with several companions about his own>ge who, it is reported, ran away when they

saw their companion carried beyond hisleptli, it is supposed, by the swirl of the

waters when the gates of the lock were opened.'he body was shortly after discovered by a

boatman who saw it resting on the bottom in•he, shallow water on the north Bide of thecanal. The boatman notified Constable)ebler and the latter had the body fetched

across to the south side by a boy who was in'wiuiming nearby. Coroner C. B. Gage waslotifled and on viewing the body and learn-ing the circumstances of the drowning, grant-d a certificate of death by accidental drown-

ing. The body was removed to the home ofKir. Forrester and was yesterday talton toWashington, Warren county, for burial,'ho boy's father is Charles Moore, of this

city. Since the death of his mother, some'ears ago, he has made his home with Mr.

Forrester, who is his uncle.

Photographer Cotter's Olnllery Damaged by l i r e and Water.

Photographer Cotter's gallery, ou Sussexstreet was discovered to l>o ou fire nhorUy be-fore 7 o'clock last Saturday morning andalarm was promptly turned in, only to ceasequite as promptly when after a dozen oimore strokes of tbe bell the bell rope broke.The Sre was discovered by a domestic at tbeMansion House who saw smoke Issuing fron:the rear of the gallery. The interruptedalarm sufficed to b.log a number of flrurueito the scene and two streams were quicklybrought to bear upon the flames. Mr. Cotteiwas hiniuelf present and tried to direct tinefforts of the firemen with a view to prevent-ing unnecessary damage by water. Quickwork on the part ot the firemen kept theflames from spreading and prevented a con-flagration that might have become disastrous.In twenty minutes after tbe sounding of tbealarm the flre was extinguished. The originof the lire is not known, but Mr. Cotter thinksit was started by sparks from a neighboringchimney. Mr. Cotter's greatest loss -was innegatives of old hltUugs, hundreds of which,the accumulation of years, were stored iu theroom where the fire burned most His liis practically irrei>arable, and can't be ex-pressed in dollars and cents. The damage totbe contents of the gallery, aside from thedestruction of negatives, amounted to severalhundred dollars and was covered by insur-ance. The damage to the building woa alsobetween two and three hundred dollars andwas fully covered by insnranco. The cloth-ing store adjoining the photograph gallerywas also damaged to the extent of about $75,which loss has since been made good throughthe agency of D. R. Hummer, who placed theinsurance on both the gallery and clothingstore.

He knew where hewas when hogotoff the train for he recognizedthe station. After shaking handfl with thetoys over there he Btarted to find McDavifsHall and in a very short Bpace of time hadaecome utterly bewildered and was hopelesslylost. After wandering around for a half houror so, he bailed a boy and giving him a half a[oiler and said; "Here Johnny, I want to get

toMcDavit's Hull and I've lost my way. Itied to be a Councilman in this blasted town

and then I knew all about it, but stace I leftthey've pulled the throttle wide open, slipped

They hod ono of Edison's singing machinesin the Stanhope M. E. Church on Thursdayevening of last woek.

The "voicewas tho voice of Esau." If it were not forthe vo'ce tbe machine mightbo a groat savingto the vocal organs of modern singers if theycould learn to wind it up aud haveiboiFsome-where where nobody could seo it. As it is,the singer who would sing in tbat kind ofvoice would bo hissed ofF the stage. It wasvory well done for a machine, though. Thereis improvement in all sorts of machines, eveniu the locomotive. I hope Mr, Edison hasnot exhausted himself.

On Monday evening tha Odd Fellows ofOlive Lodge, No. 41, of Netcong, invited theirwives and children aud some friends whoknew not "the mystic tie" that biuds OddFellows together, to their hall to see howgood and pleasant It Is for brethren to dwelltogether in unity. Tho hall was filled withan appreciative audience. Tlioy sang theopening ode, Mr. Mauony, of Netcoug, pre-siding at the organ. This was followed by anexcellent extemporaneous prayer by the Chap-lain of the Lodge, Brother Cha» les Parks.Tost Grand William A. Btryker, of ManufloldI/>dge, No. 42, was the principal speak"or. Tho acting N. G., in introducing Mr.Stryker, said: "If lie were not present Imight say a good many nice things abouthim; as it is I do not wish to get him rattledIxjforo he begins." Brother Stryker, who istlio ox-Prosecuting Attorney, of Warrencounty, managed to beep that audionce quietfor half an hour, and thoy wero sorry whenhe sat down. Ho told how, iu spite of thohard tinios, the order got into its treasury$8,000,000 a year and spout it; all, savo run-ning expensos, to bury tboir dead, rolieve tbodistressed and educate the orphan. This IBmore money than Eugene V. Dobs expectsthe people of this country, who have moneyto burn, to contribute to his socialistic what-do-you-call-it?

Can you imagine how much money thereis In eight millions of dollars? Twenty-fivecents every time the clock ticks. I do notpropose to report brother Stryker verbatum,not because his talk was not interesting andinstructive, but because thore is a limit tothis letter and your space.

Edition's singingmachine did Tory well for a machine, butthere never yet was any mnehino invented toequal the human voloo divine—that is mysinging machine, I mean. The singing wasfollowed by short addresses by school teacherMyers and brother G. H. Lunger, of Net-cong, who accused tho acting N. O. of callingon bald headed men to do tbe speaking:. Inorder to vary the order and show the folkathat men with hair on their heads could talktoo, brother George "W. ZeeK was called upon,but ho oxcused himself because he was notbald headed. All the same ho can talk. Theevening's entertainment was brought to aclow by singing the closing ode, and a closingprayer by the Chaplain Parks. Anybodyreading thin might think the reporter meantthat brother Parks'prayer was Bung as wellas the closing ode; but those who were thereknow that that is not BO. Brother Parks ac-.quitted himself well. He was not on theprogramme and it was not the original in-tention that he should take any part, exceptthat of a listener. But those to whom thelodge look for the openingand closing prayersdid not put iu an appearance and so the Chap-lain was "Jack at a pinch," but he was equalto the occasion. P. G. W. S.

On Tuesday evening our friends, theburglars, paid a visit to ftoothnoy's hotel atNetcong and got some cigars, a couple ofwhiskeys and the money drawer— they didnot wait to count the contents—which wasonly a dollpr or so. They found their wnyinto Mr. Mowder's butcher shop also. andtook his money drawer also. When theburglars found it contained only eleven centsI think they must have wished thoy had goneto join Debs' army, which is going to capturethe State of Washington first and then thereat of the country at their leisure, "And if,in defiance of the Federal Constitution, theysend Federal troops to suppress us in the ex-ercise of our constitutional rights, thoy willbe kept busy on their march across tho coun-try, and when they reach .the Stnto lino thoypill find 000,000 patriots ready to receive

"Tlio Homo of thcCliIiioso."That the people of Dover appreciate a rai

treat was evinced by the large audiouce whichassembled at the First M. K. Church to hearthe Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard deliver bis Iceture upon "The Home of tho Chinese." Foione and one-half hours the eloquent and bril-liant speaker held his audience spellbound,and when he closed all agreed that neverbefore had such a lecture been delivered inour city.

Dr. Leonard spoke briefly of the goographyof China and corrected many mistakes thatAmericans usually make in reference to th«extent and climate of this great empire. Oithe folBO notions regarding the classos orcastes of the Chinese, lio had a great deal ofinterest to eay, and when he had finishedupon this subject, many people, for the firstime, knew just in what class "John China-man" belonged.

In describing the snporstioim common tfthe Chinese, Dr. Leonard was especially in-teresting. He Bpoko of their idea that the atwas "full of spirits," and said it was not aiuncommon thing to be awakened out of isound sleep by what might seem a Chhiosimob yelling and hooting and making thenight hideous in every way, who were after a"durl." Frequently walls were built beforethe doorways to keep these spirits, whom thiCulneso say cannot go In other than a per-fectly straight line; but should a devil getinto a home a priest, for HO much nionoy,comes with his retinue of servants, and byconcerted yelling and howling chases thedevil into a corner, catches him and pats himinto a bottle brought for that purposo. Thasuch superstition Is extant IB no wonder,when we consider that nations far bettercivilized than tlie Chinese have superstitiontbat are as groundless as this one.

Of the education of the Chinese Dr. Leon-ard Bpoke briefly. Of course, there is nosystem of public education. A man learnedin tho classics of their religion gathers a fewboys—girls are not considered worthy- imedueatlou—and starts a private school toteach religious views mainly. However,whatever of practical education tho Chinesechildren receive must bo given by mission-aries,* The three religions of China tho lecturerdiscussed at length. He told how, tbat anyday a Chinaman might have been seon goingfrom one temple to the other, as if deter-mined to worship gods enough.

The glowing account of the success of mis-sion work was especially interesting. Speakinp of his own church, tho Doctor said:"While it took our missionaries ton years toconvert a single coolie, yet tho work has sogrown in the past forty years that now wohave 20,000 members la our church in China,two annual conferences and tbroo univer-sities, the one at Peking being the best in alltbe Chinese empire.

In closing, Dr. Leonard reforrod to theawful opium curse the - English nation hasforced upon China, and which was hinderingChristian influences at every point, but hoexpressed the opinion that if Christians didtheir duty toward China oven this cursocould be wiped out and the empiro entirelyChristianized.

it he is doing something for himself when10 is riding a wheel, and there Is a great deal'. satisfaction in ths.t"The New York Sun says: "A year ago

lomparatively* few wheelwomen venturedipon trips greater than twenty or twenty-Ive miles In length Thla year a ride of fifty

miles In a day seems to be & common per-ormance for them. Bicycle dubs in the pastlave excluded women from club runs because;he strain of keeping pace with the leaders

thought to be greater than they couldwell bear. To-day, however, unless thewomen were allowed to take part In the runsif clubs to which their husbands or brothers3elonged, ' the attendance upon the runswould greatly diminish; and, as a remit,women are officially welcomed by the mostprominent cycle clubs of tbecity, and 'ladles'Tins' are the order of the day.

DAVID S- ALLEN, President.I. W. SEARING, Sec'y-The above letter, which tells its own story,

is a confession and an arraignment. It is nconfession on the i>art of the Dover ElectricLight Company thut thnt company ia with-out authority to operate a gas plant, fromwhich it follows thut the grant of. a gas fran-chise to it is of necessity void. It is an n.r-raigmnent of Councilman Baynor, Carhartand Stuiupf, who are by the above letterconvicted of having ucted irregularly, to putit mildly, when they voted to grant a fran-chise to the Dovur Electric Light Com-pany. When the first application for ngas franchise was made it was signed"William H. Fritchnion and Associates."Manager David Young, of tlm Dover Electrie Light Company, who was at that timchairman of the Firo ami Lamps Committee,declined absolutely to consider the applica-tion, giving ns a reason that there was noth-ins to show that the persons applying hadany authority to operate a gas plant, and iiwas not until a new application was receivedfrom the Dover Gas, Light, Heat and PowerCompany, a duly incorporated company, wasreceivod, that Mr. Young's Committee tookcognizance of the matter.

The above letter affords the members of theCity Council an opportunity of setting them-selves right before the public. Let them takicounsel from the action of former Council-man David Young and declare off all thaihas been done in the matter of the DoveiElectric Light Company's application. Thiswill clear the way for beginning anew. Theby advertising for proposals for a gas plantas is now being done In the matter of tinproposed new water supply, Council witmerit the approbation of all good citizens olDover.

A CDBHENCT commission whichshall fram<a plan for the general revision of the currencysystem of the United States seems likely to bithe next step of the new Administration,after the passage of the tariff bill, which willprobably tako place before the end of themonth. It is understood in Washington thaithe President will, as soon as the tariff billpasses the Senate, send a special message tcCongress urging the creation of a commissionwhich shall devise a plan for the general re-vision of the currency sys'em of the countryin time for consideration by Congress whenilmeets in its regular session five mouths hence.

JAPAN has sold to people of the UnitecStates in the past decade goods amounting tc313milliou yen, the value cf the yen beingabout equivalent to the dollir, while she hasbought from us goods valued at only 78 mil-lion yen. This simple fact disposes of all tbihumbuggery which the free traders are in'duiging in about the alleged probability thaiJapan will retaliate upon the passage of thinew tariff bill by shutting out Americangoods. Her statesmen and financiers are toewise to cut on" ope dollar's worth of markdfor American goods, when by doing BO thejwill destroy four dollars' worth of marketfor their own.

THE Philadelphia Record (Dem.)) ineditorial headed "Sigas of Business Cheer,1

remarks: "There are other grounds for com-mercial cheerfulness. Business failureslessening in number and importance. Commerclal loans areexpandtug; bank clearingsare increasing, and the transportation com-panies are earning more money. The end ol

• tariff uncertainty is drawing near; the fm-portaat crops all over the country give prom-ise of abundant harvests; productive costs inthe great industries have been crowded to theapparent minimum; tliero is less reason tcfear further important price shrinkages; tbistorekeepers' shelves, as a rule, hold no un-wieldy accumulations of stocks, and labor Isbecoming more generally employed. The;are favorable conditions fora sustained re-vival of business. The season is opportune,therefore, to encourage optiniistio views ofthe situation. When business men shall fee]strongly convinced that the time for im-provement Is ripe industry and trade will beaura to stride forward."

: SOME people can be fooled onco or twicebut very few more than that. Mr. Bryan inbis speeches last fall asserted that the 43 mil-lion dollars necessary to keep pace with thegrowth of population in the United, Statescould not be produced since the suspension offree coinage of silver, and quoted SenatorSherman in support of his theory that thisamount was necessary to bo added to the cu:rency of the country each year. He WSB un-doubtedly right in his quotation of SenatorSherman, but both inaccurate and mtsleadiocIn assuming that this amount of currencycannot be and la not addod to the circulatingmedium of the country by means of its pres-ent facilities. The coinage of the mints ofthe country in the year which ends with thethe present month will be, in round numbers,100 million dollars, three-fourths of it gold,while that of the calendar year 1890 wag 99million dollars. Add to this the fact thatthemoney In circulation to-day is $138,000,000more than it was a year ago and it will beBoon that Mr. Bryan's statements in this,well as in many other things, ware, to say theleast, misleading. -

THE trade reviews and the daily papers of1 the country unite In the assertion that busin-ess is brightening in all parts of tho UnitedStates. More men are employed, tho volumeof new orders is Increasing, and tho amountof work done is steadily gaming. With thefinal action on the tariff bill, which may beexpected during tho present month, on in-creased Improvement is confidently expected.

C o m m e n c e m e n t Exorc ises hold In theBaker Opera IIOUBO Lust Night .

The Baker Opera House was illled to thedoors Uust night by the friends and relativesif the graduates of the Dover Business?olk'ge who were about to be launched on;tie sea of business life. The house was liund-jniely decorated with flags ami buutiug,bile the stage was a bawer of ferns and

potted plants. The exercises were presidedaver by the Rev. W. H. McCormick. Theapeniug prayer was delivered by the Rev. W.H. Shawger, after which Misses Mary Drum-mer and Mabel Waer entertained with a piano

Section. Oscar S. Boyd followed with anessay, taking for his subject "Bookkeeping."Next came "Profit and Loss," delivered in amost pleasing manner by MissNeille 51 urphy.

"Shorthand and Typewriting" was thombject of an interesting essay by Miiss StellaB. Connors. She said in part:

During the post twenty years a new pro-fession bos been born, chrlstenod and comeinto the full possession of its powers. It isthat of an amanuensis. It has at lost dawnedupon the comprehension of men to whomtime is valuable that there is a shorter andbetter way of conducting business corres-pondence than through the laborious processof hand and pen. Ambitious young ladies insearch of something to do improved tho eitu-ition to their advantage and the profession

belongs almost wholly to them. They arugenerous, however, and do not hesitate togive the boys a chance If they are smartenough to improve it. In every large officebuilding there are now employed dozens, andIu some cases hundreds of women. Tho im-portance of shorthand and typewriting as avery valuable and constantly increasingmeans of making a livelihood is acquiringrecognition. Parents who have children toeducate should not forget that it is their dutyto give the daughters as well as tho sons thatkind of an education which will be of prac-tical value to them. If tho law gives a womanthe right to hold and control property sheshould be educated to sustain and protect herrights. It is very apparent that youngwomen are coming into favor with businessmen, for in 1870 there were only seven fen: alestenographers in the United States and thereare now over 21,185."

Miss Maggie Baker was the next essayistand "Penmanship11 her subject She said inpart:

'Penmanship is a very important elementin commercial training. It is not the mostimportant part of a business education, butof several applicants for a situation, theyoung man or woman who has a good busin-ess handwriting will receive a decided pref-erence over his or her competitors. Goodwriting is an indlspensab'e qualification forone who seeks success in the field of commer-cial enterprise. Can any one learn to write!Yes, any one that bos good sense and will try,Any one between the ages of ten and fifty,possessing ordinary intelligence, one handand good instruction can, with proper ap-plication, learn to write a nice, easy, rapidand legible business hand in from six weeksto four months' time. To be able to write abusiness letter, well worded and -withouterrors, is to-day one of the most importantand really necessary accomplishments of ayoung business man or woman."

" Business Life" was tho subject of ErnestB. Smith's essay and he was followed by MissEthel Q. Williams, who took for tor subjeel"Womenin Business," which was both in-teresting and well rendered. Then came anaddress by Joseph P. Lukeman on "The Valueof a Business Education,11 which was bothinstructive and entertaining.

Richard Jennings next stated the "Aim olthe Dover Business." A brief excerpt fromhis essay follows:

"To supplement the work of district schoolby directing the information tliero acquiredinto such channels, and combining it withsuch technical knowledge of business formsand customs as to make it of direct practicalinterest to every young pereon,

lTo give such a practical knowledge olbookkeeping, stenography and typewritingas shall enable our students to enter at onceupon money-earning occupations.

"To offer to persons of neglected educationan opportunity to amend their deficiencies inthe most important points.

"To give to all our students, by lecturesand by personal instruction, such valuableideas and practical knowledge of life, nudespecially of business, as shall make themmore valuable assistants and more successfulin whatever they undertake.

"To use our influence in assisting to goodpositions in business all of our students winhave proved themselves deserving.

"To do all this in the shortest time amwith the least possible expense consistentwith good work.

"To train our students in such a marine]that they will be better fitted to battle withlife and to become honored and respee'ed cit-izens In the community In which they live.

"In fact, the Dover Business College willmerit the patronage and confidence of thepublic by honest methods and good work. Itis an honor to tho city whose name it bears—'Dover.1"

The class poem was read by Miss LouiseDehnert. Instrumental music by the MissesMay Brown, Mabel Waer and Mary Drumtner followed. Addresses were next mode bythe Rev. W. J. Hampton,' Rev. Dr. DavidSpencer, Rev. Dr. SV. W. Halloway, Rev. T,A. Reeves and Professor J. H. Hulsort. Thidiplomas were presented by the Rev. CharleS. Woodruff. The class song was sung andthe Rev. C. M. S&nford pronounced the bene-diction.

After the exercises at the Opera House thigraduates and the teachers repaired to theMnsion'House, where Manager J. S. Melickhad prepared a most excellent lunch, to whichfull justfcb was done. Several addresseswere mode, after which Robert Jenkins aroseand in ft few well-chosen words presented toPrincipal Wildrick a fine office chair, a pres-ent from the graduates. Mr. Wildrick wasso surprised that he had to ssk Rev. DavidSpencer to thank tho donors, which tho latterdid in a brief address.

: i i l ldrcu's Day In Grace M. E. Church .Stress of circumstances last week prevented

,he publication of tiie subjoined report of theChildren's Day exercises in Grace M. E.Church.

The announcement that Children's Day ex-ircises would take the place of the usual

evt'uiug service served to crowd thothurch to the doors, and, literally, beyond,'or many were unable to gain admittance•ven, nfter every inch of staodiug room hadseen appropriated. Tbe church was beauti-ully and artistically decorated with flowers

and potted plants. 'I he arch uvorhead andbehind the pulpit was druped with daisies,

bich hud been strung by tbe little ones of;he Sabbath school and arranged by the com-nittee, who understood the art of displaying;bem to the best advantage On and around

the platform were placed flowers, ferns,and potted plants in greatest profusion.

At the back of tho platform was a huge blue[lag upon which were the words, in large

•bite letters, "Our Young People's Repub-lic;" and at the left a cross draped with thecolors of the Epworth League.

Tho exercises commenced with the doxol-ogy, followed by the opening hymn, "A Gar-land for Jesup," by the school. Prayer wasthen offered by the pastor, after which sev-eral children were baptized. This was fol-lowed with exercises by the little ones, thofirst being the introductory address by LibbioDavenport. Then followed by turns: Arecitation, "Uive Us a Chance," by threescholars; singing by the infant class; recita-tion, "Do Tour Best," by Nellie Parker;recitation, "Cyrus the Great," by EthelWorman; motion song, "Qod'b Loving Care,"by nine children; recitation, "The Town ofUeed-to-Be," by Ellena Baker; recitation,

o All That You Can," by three little girls;recitation, l%The Master Is Coming," by Sid-ney Vought; singing, "A Call to Youth," by

quartette. Then followed an exercise inwhich seven of the older scholars took part.SKss Edna Vought as "Liberty," the patronof the "Young People's Republic," advancedthe proposition of forming a model republicto be known by that name. Her plan wasadopted by the school and theyat once beganto form tbe constitution for an ideal republic.The first star of tho new republic, whoseimblem was "Law," was preseuted by Ber-

tram Chamberlain. He said that every gov-ernment, every community, and every churchmust be under law, and every young personmust bring his conduct under the reign oflaw, aud ho would therefore ask that thisstar of "Law" be one to deck the flag of ournew republic. The school accepted the starand It was then placed on the flag, afterwhich the school sang "Obedience." Miss IdaVought said that the second star we wouldhave to shine upon the brow of our new re-public is "Intelligence," and proposed thatthfs be placed as a guiding principle of therepublic. This star was adopted and placedon the flag. Tho third star, "Fraternity,"was presented by Hiss Lena Bartroni, andwas adopted by the school and placed on theflag. Then followed singing by the school,

Ho Moved Amid Our Human Ways /Charles Blessing- presented tho fourth star,'Temperance," and insisted that this should

be a leading feature of the republic. It wasadopted by the Bchool and placed on the flag,The fifth Btor, "Uprightness," was spoken ofby Miss Lily Ike, and Ellas Chamberlain ad-vocated "Patriotism" as being essential tothe success of the republic. These were ac-cordingly placed on the flag, which com-pleted the constellation and the new Repub-lic was formed.

"Liberty,* then addressed the audience.She said in part: "Every principle in thisnew constitution represents the highest valuein character and conduct. Every star uponthis fair flag of blue shines with resplendentlustra. This cluster of stars fully sustainsthe wisdom of the acrostic which It forms,The Epworth League will be glad to see thaithis combination Is a part of their own noblemotto,'Lift up,' and to 'lift up1 the youngpeople of the whole land will be the worth;mission of 'The Young People's Republic.The school then sang "O Happy Republic.1

Next camo responsive Scripture reading aman address by the pastor. After the collec-tion the school and congregation sang "ThiGolden Republic," which brought to aclotione of the most entertaining, instructive ansuccessful exercises over hold in the church.

STOPPING AN UPROAR.

How Coant von B«tut Vorecd Waffaar t*Leave VIMBM.

When Wagner was at tbe height of hlipopularity, lio vlBlted Vienna. Baron vonBeust, then chancellor of the empire, waainformed that the Prussian party Intend-ed to give him an immense serenade—sserenado which would have tbe air of Gar-man protest against the tsndensr of theministry to make the onion at Hungaryand Austria more Intlmat*. Tl» demon-stration promised to arouse strong (wllng.

"Your excellency Is warned," said thechancellor's advisers. "It U Impossible tostop tbls manifestation unless Wagnar goesaway, and he loves orations too well.Nothing will induce him to depart."

"You think sor" said Beast, with m•mile.

An hour later Wagner was lnvltsd todine with the chancellor. H« was flat-tered by the invitation, and aooqitsd ItAfter dinner, at which Beurt was delight-fully affable and entertaining, tbechanosl-lor remarked: "Hen Wagon, an yon In-terested ID autographsf I have some veryouriona ones to show you." And be openeda portfolio where'wers letters of falmer-ston, Bismarck, Napoleon EL, Heine andothers.

Suddenly turning to • paper, dated1848, be said: "Ah, look at this. It Isvery curious. What would your Mendhis hlghnosa tbe king of Bavaria say Ifthis paper, which would b* significant Inconnection with the pollUoal serenadewhich the Germans are going to give you,should be published tomorrow In the VI-onna papersP"

The composer examined the paper, andrecognised with surprise an old proclama-tion of one fllohard Wagner, who, an ar-denorevolntlonlat In 1848, had proposed tothe youth of that time to set Ore to thepalace of the king of SaioDj. He saw hisautograph, and that It might be the meansof getting him Into serious trouble.

"Tory curious. Is It not, Herr Wagnerf"said the minister.

"VerycurlouB, your eioellenoy," repliedhis guest.

Tho next morning Rlobard Wagner leftVienna, recalled to Balreutb by urgentbusiness.—Strand Magazine.

The Abate of th« Datraut .It may be broadly stated, as the result

of exhaustive statlgHcal study, that fully50 per oent of the patlanta who apply forfree mctlloal aid are totally undeserving ofsuch charity. Tho main reason for this Isthat no effectual means are taken by themanagers of these Institutions to correcttho abuse. For the sake of donations andthe ostensible good aooompllshed by thetreatment of a large number of patients,those oharltios are managed on the usualbusiness principles of proving their lightto bo and to prosper on tbe assumed basisof demand and supply. In New* Yorkalono there are 118 dispensaries, eaoh oneof which Is vying with the other In prop-agating tho worst form of pauperism.

Iho publlo is being tauglit that nothingis more freely given than modloal advlee toany who may ask for it She Institutionsin question are crowded dolly by hundredsof well to do patients, who are encouragedto defraud tbe really poor and to cheat thecharitably disposed doctor of his legiti-mate fee. All this goes on in spite of pro-tests, and In cpen deflanos of all the lawsof ordinary deoenoy and fair play. Ihomanagers of these 90 called charities, whovirtually have the.matter In their ownbands, while openly pretending to doploropreseut oondltlons, aro oovertly oom batingevery effort at reform, on the ground ofIts impracticability.—Dr.OeorgoF.

CITY COUNCII*

Subject of Gas Adroitly SUle-trackedMayor's Two Vetoes.

" The committee xcoultl like to hear fronthe said company, should they have any further proposition to make and, if so, xvoulibe pleased to consider the na»ic,

The above was the concluding sentence oltbe recent report of the Fire and LampsCommittee of the City Council ou the appli-cation made by the Dover Gas, Light, Healand Power Company for permission to laygas mains in the streets of Dover. The In-sincerity of the above rflquGKfc was manifestwhen at the same meeting, a t which tbe report in question was submitted, a gas fraachise was hurriedly granted to tho DovciElectric Light Company, despite tho fact thaithat company was, and is still, withouiauthority to operate a gas plant, which fadrenders all action of the City Council in tbpremises void ab initio.

But, if further proof of the insincerity othe committee's expressed desire for "anyfurther proposition " was needed it was fur-nished by Chairman Baynor's adroit shuntiug of a communication from the Dover GOB,Light, Heat and Power Company on tbeoccasion of Monday night's special meetingof tho City Council.

The communication was as followa :To tlie Mayor and City Council:

DOVBR, New Jersey,Gentlemen-—In pursuance of a request contained in re-

port filed by your committee on the propositionsubmitted hy tho Dover das. Light, Heat andPower Company, we beg to inform your hon-orable body that we will be pleased to appearbefore you at your next regular mooting andBubmit a new proposition fnr your action re-garding the construction and maiutainance ofa gaa works in your cfty. Wo do this in tlie he-lief that we are the onlycompauy that has ap->lied for a franchise to construct and main-

cam a gas works In your city, that ia logollyorganized for such purpose

Afaia stating t h a t u t your next meeting'ou will hear from ua, we bog to remain

By A. B, Wiuaus, J B . , Treasurer.City Clerk Baker informed Chairman Ray-

nor that he had a communication from tboDover Gas, Light, Heat and Power Compauy,but Chairman Baynor declined to bave i tread on the plea that no other business thanthat stated in the call could be considered,

nder the rules,[It may bo well to state here that this rulo

if the City Council ia more honored ia theireoch than In its observance. At no otherpecial meeting of the present City Council,

and there have been- a number held, nor a tny special meeting1 of tho preceding City

Council was there any refusal to tako upeneral business when the special business forvhich such meeting bad beeu called had been.isposed of.—EDITOR. ]The special business stated iu the call re-

lated to proposed changes in the form of theadvertisements for proposals for a publicwater supply and for broken stone, and alsoiue appointment of a Health Inspector in thelace of Dr. P, B. Hann, whose resignation

was in tha bands of tbe clerk.

Tho reading of the minutes gave rise to a)rief discussion, Councilman Lyon takingixceptdons to" a statement contaluod in themo the effect that Mayor Piorsou had secondedlis motion to lay the Doyer Electric LightCompany's application for a gas franchise>ver for two weeks.

"He said," Councilman Lyon went on toxplain, ' " I second-^11 that Mr, Lyon has

said,(vmeaning by ttiat . thatho approved ofhat I had said antfej move tbe minutes be) amended.11 After Rome further remarks> was so ordered.At this juncture Chairman Raynor asked

or a recess of 15 minutes, pending the arrival>f'Councilman Carhart; who had sent -word•hat- he would be on hand shortly after 8:30'clack. He did not; conie a t the stated time,owever, and business was resumed, tbe first

matter to come up being the appointment ofsuccessor to Dr. Hann. Councilman Lyon

tamed formergChief of Police James Hagan,,nd Councilman Stuutpf named L. C. Wil-•ick. The result was, of course, a foregoneinclusion, Hr, Wlldrlok being appointed by

ihe grace of Councilman Raynor and Btumpf,lman Lyon being ia a hopeless mln*

irityof 1. • .,, /

Next came the proposed amendment to theidvertisement for proposals for crushed[tone. Its purport was to give preference totone taken from the Kockaway river. Chair-

an Raynor passed a type written sheet con-ining the proposed amendment to Council-

nan Btumpf. Tho latter looked at it a mo-oinent without saying anything, upon which

Chairman Raynor, turning to City Clerk3aker said: ''He m o w that preference begiven to atone from the Rockaway river,"ouncilman Btumpf concluded to let it go at

that, and as Councilman Lyon seconded thelotion thua vicariously made, the matter wasjickly disposed of, the three Counciltneu

ireaent voting "aye.", 'r- . .Next it was proposed to change tho form of

the advertisement for proposals for a waterupply, and Chairman Raynor again passedtypo written sheet to Councilman Stumpf,

rko\ after scanning it for a moment, passedover to Councilman, Lyon. The latter

landled it somewhat gingerly and after read-passed it back to Councilman StumpC with-

out a word. How long this pantomime would,ve continued there's no telling, but Chair-

nan Raynor put an oiid1 to it by suggestinghat a motion be mode to direct tbe Cleric to

read it. So Councilman" StumpC handed thepaper over to Mr, Baker, who proceeded toread - it. Tho amended clauses widen tbecope of the advertisement, whicli iu itslew form will be found on pago G of,his Issue. :. • '

This out of tho way Councilman Lyonoved that the ordinance committee be di-

ected to prepare an ordinance gorornf ng thorestoration of the public streets and highways

hen trenches have been dug in them. Thisrasu't mentioned iu the, call for the meeting,ut Chairman Raynor concluded to let i t go

through and the ordinance committee was di-ected to draw up tuo proposed ordinance.

fact that the meeting Was a Bpecfaline prevented the presentation of the sub-jined vetoes of tho tax and salary ordinances,respectively, by Mayor Piersou. Prom, hisratio of tbe salary ordinance i t will bo seen

at Mayor Piersou doea not put as high aionoy value on tbo cervices of tho Council-ten as tlie latter, barring Councilman Lyon,).

In this veto ot the tax.. ordinance, Mayor?ierson urges economy,in public expandi-ures and his argument wilt doubtioss appealrongly to tho taxpayer.Following are tho vetoes named:

TAX OTIOINANOE VETO.*o Tns MBMDEHS OP THE Cirr OOVSOIL OP DOVER,

NEW JEUSBY:Gentlemen:—There has been presented to me for approval or

reto, an Ordinance passed byyourllouoarblo bodyprovide for the raising at money by taxation in

tills City, to provide revenue cor the running ex-pense of our Government for J807-1898,

You have asked for the sum of Three thousandollarsfor the llRhting of BtroeU in this City. Ai

.here la a surplus now In the hands ot Hie Cityreasurer amounting to over the sum of Blx thouind dollars, and also of outstanding taxes, that

are collectable tlie sum ot fifteen hundred dollars,lie cnarges for lighting our streets should be Uilcen'rom thfs surplus, and uot bo raised by taxation.

You also desire to raise by taxation tho sum otthree thousand six hundred dollars for the expenses

or street liydranU for the extinguishment of fires.I have ascertained the cost of hydrants amount* tcthe sum of twenty nine hundred and eighty dollars,with about tho sum of twenty flFsdoUors addedtor tbe fountain by KiUgore'u Drug Btoro, makinin the aggregate the Bum of three thousand and flvidollars. I therefore suggest that the sum of {8101be raised Instead of the sum of f 8000, u aet fortlto yaur ordlaanoa. This would make a saving ofive hundred dollarB in this one item.

I would recommend that instead of the aum oleight thousand fife hundred dollars, the eum oseven thousand dollars be raised for the expenses olregulating, cleaning and keeping In repair the pub-lic streets of UUs City, Inasmuch as our Btrvatimay be opened to allow the laying of water onigaa mains, I would suggest that no macadlmlzlnjbe done, but that where necoaauy, the roads shoulbe graded and couered with o top dresalng of mao<adatn, to give said rood a smooth surface. I havascertained that last year the sum of seven thou-sand eight hundred dollars was expended on tbestreets, i t seems to me that U the sum of seraithousand dollars Is judiciously expended ft wilikeep the Btreete In good condlUod and leave ajiDflJJ balance to meet any contingencies arising byrf aeons of a washout, or mishap of similar nature,iDd It not used this way can be applied to the ex-

penditures of the following year.

In referenc to the general Incidental ezpencefl othe cfty taoludiag salartaa ot officers, and torwhlnhyou desire to raise the sum of fifteen hundred toaddition to license fees, I think the Bum of nlnhundred dollore is sufficient, because of my follunto approve the salaries of the Council at tho sumof four hundred and titty dollars. In my opinion thieum of throe hundred dollars being sufficient, thustaking from the above tUe Bum oE sir hundreddollarB.

If the above suggestions are followed this willmakeaBariogottheBtimot$iOWto be raised bytaxation, leaving the Bum to be raised $14000, in-stead of (80300, as by your ordinance suggested.

For the above reasons lam compelled to veto UUsordinance.

Dated Dover, N. X, June 1S07.SALARY ORDINANCE VETO.

TO TQB JtlftllllKRS or TUJE CtTr OOUHOtt, Of DOMotiniB COUNTY, NEW JKRSBY:

Gentlemen;—There has been presented to me for approval an

trdlnance passed by your Honorable body In referjuce to providing compensation for the members3f the City Council and myself. Owing to theresent depression condition of finances, the fact

•bat many of our citizen are out of employment,id the further fact thai your Council waa dividedreference to the amounts to be paid. I am com'

elled to veto the same. Because of our presenthigh rate of taxation, it seems to me that all expen

should be curtailed, expending only so muchas will Insure to the citizens of our City a safe andhonest government.

I do not, however, think that the sum of threetundred dollars per annum to each of the Council-

would be excessive.

The top is used, by being•aisoil or lowered, to regulate the tempara-;urowhictaiskeptatfromS8to31 degrees be-owzero. When the door is dosed propBrly;ho box is airtight and a bell is connected ininch a way that it will ring as Boon as theloor is shut tight. If the bell does not ring

" I donmml tho payment of tho $10,000in e<»ld," e;iid Miss AIiiKi'iidor, a littlo tostIly mid quito determinedly. " I owu thisto wy nioce, who is about to ho murriod.AH you know, I inn her gunrdiaii, and Ido not wisli to diminish hvv loRiioy by imyoversight on my pnrt just now, wlien noODD knows jiiHfc wliat ulTt'uti a possible sJlver victory way Jmvo upon tho flnnnohiloonditionof tho country. Onoo married,Iior husband may do us JIG likes."

"Very well, Miss Miigrudcr," BaldCiiHhior Holt. "Your request will be hon-ored if for no other ruison than to showto you that thin bunk is amply nblo toincut all demands."

Thu lady whom ho addressed as MisaMagruder was n spinster of uncertain ago,regular features nnd a determined andbusluosfillko manner.

Cnsliier Holt, a middlo ngeil man withv tintlvko beard nnd ourly, flux colored hair,had triotl vainly to (lomonstruto to hiashrewd clleub that her money would bosafer ! • tho vaults of tho bank than in horhoiieo.

Now ho giwo a. whispered order to thoonly clerk the bunk afforded. Tho lattorturned an inquieltivo fucu upon thu bpliiaturand Jier companion, n pretty country girlof SO summers. When ho returned, fromtho vault, ho carried in hia hand a leathersatchel, "which ho placed on tho counterbeforo the cashier.

"Hero la your 510,000," Bnid Mr. Holtwhimsically. "Remember my warning!Tako good care of tho inouoy."

Miss Magrudcr was not so easily satis-fied. Sho oponod tho satchel, took from ita buokskln hag and counted tho money,which was in $50 coins. Then sho pushedit all back, looked tlio bug and left tbobank, accompanied by tho clerk, who car-ried tho satchel and deposited it unclor thobuggy Beat. AB tho ladies entered theirconvoyanco they woro aooosted by a tramp.Tho follow looked anything but propossesa-ing, and Miss Magrudor curtly denied Liraaid.

During tho drivo from Now Brunswickto tho littlo hamlet which was tholr homo,Miss Magrudcr guvo vont to her annoy-ance over tho cashier's hositanoy to payher niece's legacy In gold. His warningagainst robbers was especially distastefulto tho spinster, who had novcr been afflict-ed with foar of anything. Norn . WilsonliBtenctl to nor aunt in silonco. Sho wasnot at all inclined to share Jier gtiaidlnn'sconfidence that their IIOUBO was as snfoastho bank vault, but out of deferonco to thooldor woiuun she rcfrainod from express-ing her opinion. Even when tho moneyWOB safely stowed away under Miss Ma-grudor's bed, Nora felt unoasy. When bed-tlmo cam'o, sho herself oxaminod everywindow and door, to eco that they had beenBeoui'oly fastened by tho servant. .Anxlonadreams disturbed hor slumber, which showooed In vain for n long time. In themiddle of tho night tho girl awoko with astart. Sho was not certain nt first whetherhur imagination had pliiycd her a trlok, orwhether sho had really beard n stiflednoiso In tho next room. Sho hearkenedwith bated breath, and was soon convincedthab what had disturbed hor wero stealthyfootsteps.

Without n moment's hesitation the girljumped from hor bed. A door Jed fromhor room to her aunt's chamber, hut thisBbo would not opon. After all, it mightonly havo been tho vivid play of hor lra-aginntinn, and she- dreaded Misa Magru-der's ridicule. So sho imlatohed the doorthnt opened out into tho corridor andgroped her way to her nunt'a room. I twas ajar.

Nora Wilson scarcely breathed as shelistened. Sho oould distinctly hear tborespiration of two porsons. Ono broathedregularly and quietly; tho other's breathcamo in short, stifled gasps. A sweet,pontitrating odor camo from the room.Then all her doubts wcro dispelled.

Thero was a robber in tbo room. Howas searching for tho hi del on gold. Norawad a courageous girl. Sho pressed herlips firmly togother, advancing carefullywith outstretched arms. Almost instantlyshe camo In contact with a human body.Tbe man—for it was a burglar—olutchedhor around tho waist and held a epongasaturated with choloroform to her noso.Nora tried not to breutho, to keep from in-haling the noxious vapor. Tho girl's florcostruggle, mado tho burlgnr resort to othormeans to ovcroomo her. Ho dropped thospongo and plunged his hand into hlabreast pookot.

"Ho has n plntol and bo is going to killraol" thought Nora. Quick ns n flash shoseized his hand tho monionfc ho withdrewit. Her fingers closed over tbo handle ofa largo bowlo knifo, not tho butt end of arevolver,

Tho marauder dragged Nora from thoroom, down tho stairs.and Into tho lowercorridor. There he hissed into her cor thatho would kill her if sho mado nn outcryand did not release- tho knifo. Gatheringall hift strength, ho thrust her into thepantry, the door of which stood wido opon.

Miss Wilson mude no reply, but with analmost aupohuman effort attempted towrench the weapon from him.

Snatching hla loffcarm from her wnist, ho atruok hor a fear-ful blow with his fist.;i Realizing that she could no longer cope*,with tbo robber, Nora turned quickly nnddashed past him toward tho door that ledout Into tho yard. I t was opon, but on thothreshold tho girl stuinblod and fell pronoto tbo floor, whon sho awoke a few mo-ments nfterward from tho stupor causedby tbo fall, two inun wuro bending o?erher. ^hey wcro grappling, and bv theirToioes MIES Wilson recognized In ono of

' them her aunt's garden or. Tlio girl, braveas ever, came to his assistance.

Their combined orlos for help broughtono of fchoir neighbors to tlio scono of' thestruggle. The marauder was soon over-come, and when tho serving maid appeared

• with a lamp Nora and the gardoner recog-nized In him tho tramp who had aocostod

' them In tho afternoon in front of tho bank."Take him to prison," commanded Miss

Wilson. "My aunt and I will lodgo com-. plaint against him in tho morning."

Whilb the two men carried off thoir pris-oner Norn hurried to her aunt's room. Bythis tlmo tho effoofc of tho chloroform haddisappeared, nnd Miss AJngruilor was ao-

. qnalnted with tbe events of tho night.Tho littlo satobol, with its precious con-tent?, wag_nipiea a .gonflhlprnblo dJstaiuo

Iu the iucitntimo thu prisoner had u pro-Jlminnry hearing hofore tlio judga. MissWilson ile])nsed thnt sbu had met tho maniu tho afternoon; that hu hud Bucn thesatchel whloh they carried from tho bankK to wed awuy undor thu buggy eoat. Shothen narrated liur struggle with tho in-truder and his final arrest by a neighborand her aunt's gardoner. Tho latter cor-roborated her statement. Tho prisonerfirmly declured his innocence, even in tiietu.ua uf thoso gravo cliurgcs. Ho deniedhaving struggled with the young lady inhor uuue's room, und said that he hadBought shelter in Miss Magruder's wood-shed for tho night. Whon he heard ilissWilson's cries for help, ho thought a firehad brokon out, and rushed from the Bhodto aid in suppressing it.

Without u word Nora Wilson pointed totho prisoner's right hand, which wasbandaged with a dirty rag. Tho judgounderstood her moaning and asked thotrump how ho hud Injured his hand.

His answer was tbat ho had cut himsolfwith an us, an he cleared tho place in thodark to find a comfortable spot to liodown in.

His statement was not credited, and howas remanded to jail.

An hour lutcr Nora and her betrothedwore on tho way to tho bunk. They hudwith thorn tho satchel of gold, ready toagain iutrunt it to tho custody of tho bunkcashier.

"Good morning, Mr, Holt,*' aald thegirl. "Hero is tho money 1 You woreright; eomo ono did try to rob us lustnight."

"Ah, hal" cried Mr. Holt, coining closoto tho cashier's window to roceivo thomoney.

A penetrating odor of chloroform wasnoticeable. I t camo from tho clothes oftho cashier.

'Oh, James 1" cried tho girl, still paloand norvous from hor torriblo exporionooof tho night.

"My name ia Cliff,*'eaidJaincfl. " l a mHi 63 Wilson's Ha nee. Permit mo to loadher to yondor couch. She Is nob woll. Alittlo rest will soon restore her,"

Holt ivae not inclined to grunt tho ro-qucst to admit the two young peoplo tothe back room without opposition.

'It's against tho rules of tho bank," heremarked stubbornly.

Juntos Cliff paid no attention to him,hut pushed tho door open und led theyoung girl to tho leather sofa in the backroom, Nora was far from fainting. Hermind had nover worked more quiokly andto tho point, -A sudden suspicion that notthe trump, but another, had tried to robthem of her fortune flashed througii herbraiu. There- was tho odor of tho chloro-form, and, besides, tho cashier held hishand concealed in his coot pocket.

1 What is tho matter with your hand,Mr. HoltF" she askod.

'My hand? I sprained It last nightwhilo trying to move a heavy place of fur-niture I havo boon bathing it with ar-nica and must keep It bandaged."

" Won't you let mo BOO Itf"Tlio cashier hesitated, but when ho

pulled tbo band from tbo pocket at last,the bnndago showed othor stains thanthoso of arnica.

With a bound the girl stood before him."Tula is blood, James," sho orlcd. "A

sprain could not havo cauaod thorn—theell of theohloroform, his voice, his look,

and tlie hairs wrapped around tho buttonof his coatl Do you not recognize them?"

Hor lover snatched tho ovemoafc thrownover the baok of the ohalr in tho room Inwhich they were.

'They are yours, Nora," said JainoBCliff, carefully loosening thorn from thobutton that hold them con fined. I wouldreoognizo thorn anywhorol"

'This Is tho man who broke into ourhouse, with whom I Btrugglud, nod In thostruggle ho out his hand," said Nora firm-ly and monaolngly.

" I wish I had killed you!" mutteredHolt, now blind with rage over the girl'sdiscovery,

Tiioy called tbe clerk and sent for thosheriff, but James Cliff was compelled tokeep the desperate bunk cashier at bay attho point of a rovolvor.

At his home woro found a bottlo halffilled with chloroform, a blood Btainedcuff, a bowlo knifo, a bunoh of skeletonkeys and other paraphernalia belonging tothe light fingered gentry.

Tears afterward, when Nora Wilson andJamea Cliff celebrated tholr marriage an-niversary, they learnod tho cause for theorlmoof the bank cashier. He had boonIn lovo with the pretty country lassie, andas James Cliff was then an impecuniousattorney he thought If he robbed her ofbor fortune the young man would notmarry hor,

"But yon know better, dear wife,"'hispcred James Into tho pretty matron's

ear. She nodded her head in silonoo iindwound her arms around his neck.

THE 860 DAY YEAR.

Why It Had to Give Way to the SytftcmNow CBcd.

There is a story in Plutarch whioh mustconvince every reader that ono myth atleast rotates to an alteration mado in thoEgyptian (julunthif to extend tho longth oftbo year from 360 days to SGB. A year of800 days csltited in Egypt at an early peri-od, and may possibly huvo been arrived atin tho way suggested by Mr, P. L. Griffith.Tho lunar month, from new moon to ~owmoon, being 20>i days in length, tbu CUD-von lent round number of SO days was tak-en ns n standard, und 12 months, of DOdays each, nmdo up tho year. Tho solaryear is more diHioult to observe than thelunar month, the intervals being longer,nnd a year of U0O days was a very con-venient and rcneonublo approximation toit. At any rnte, the year of 000 days cameInto use, and a curious custom at Aoan-tluR, near MomphlB, Eocms to allude to it.A perforated vessel was filled with waterby 800 priests on oaoh day of tho year. Inthe island of Philm, again, SCO pitcherswore placed around tho tomb of Osiris,for making funeral libations, nnd worefilled every day by tho priests with milk.With 860 days in tho yojir, the ooliptio cir-clo of tho hcnvcnB, as represented in thecharts, would ho divided into 800 equalparts, nutl we must regard it as a relic ofthis timo thnt tho olrclo Is still mudo toconsist of 800 dogroes. But so erroneousan UBthnataof tho length of the year wouldsoon be corrected by experionco.

I t is evident that In about 73 years acyclo would be accomplished in whioh thoNow Year's day would swoop through allthe months, remaining only six yours ineach, Tho samo month, so far as Its namewas concerned, would now bo in tho inun-dation time, now in the season of sowingnnd anon in tho time of reaping, and theagriculturist must havo been perplexed.A text in tho papyrus AnastaBl makes ref-erence to such porploxity, and may receiveits explanation hero. Goodwin translatedit: "May Aiuon deliver mo from tho coldsonson, when tho sun docs not sblno, thewinter comes instead of the summer, themonth is stormy, tho hours shortened."Similar confusion would overtake tho re-ligious festivals, tho New Year, for exam-ple, coming five days before Its propertime, and then ton dnys before, and so OD,and it might be thought thnt its observ-ance at tiio wrong eeason would dlBplcasotho gods, Tho yenr of 860 days had to giveway and ultimately did so in favor of onoof 805days. Thopreoleodate of tho changeIs not known, but it Is referred to in in-scription H of tho time of Aineneraha I(circa S400 B. O.), and Jinsy of ooursehuvo beon introduced much e.irllor. Whenthis was done, the original months werenot altered, but a "littlo month" of fivedays was interpolated nt the end of thoyear between the month Mesori of onoyear and tho Thoth of tho next.—West-minster Roviow.

LAKE HISTORY.

Most of Eastern Utah Was at One TimeUnder Water,

Lako Bonnovillo occupied nearly all ofeastern Utah in tho plelocono period. Thislake hud four periods in its history. Intho first period of rainfall tho lnko grad-ually aoquired an area of 10,000 squaremiles—filling the whole of the depressionof oastcrn Utah with -water to the maxi-mum depth of 1,000 foct, until an outletwas found in tho north in tho Snake rivervalloy, and through tho Snako into thoColumbia, and thus to tho Pacific. Thentbo ollmate of tho country changed andevaporation exceeded rainfall, and thelake steadily Bhrunk until it became- dry.That was tho second period. The thirdwaB when the rainfall again increased un-til the lako assumod Its old extent, andevon exceeded it, and then had its outletagain to tho north. After this came an-othor period of minimum rainfall, whontho lake aguln dried up, and Salt Lako Isono of tho remnants of old Lake Bonne-vilto, but only one-twentieth lbs size. Attho left hand side of tho Wasatoh moan-tains the HncB of the old lako Bhoro can beseen for many, many miles.

Tho Yellowstone lake is a rook basin.Not very long ago from a geological pointof view it hud a drninago toe other way,Tho old outlet led southward across toOceun paBs, down through a comparative-ly insignificant river, into tho Paolflo. Itstraces aro still clearly visible*, whereas thepresent outlet Is north by .way of tho Tel-lowetono river into the Missouri, and thusInto tbo Atlnntio watershed. This la duoto a change in tho movement of the earth'scrust, and tho basin Itself is partially dueto ntmoppherlo disintegration.

Lako Qeorgvi is an IOQ basin—not a meredam of marlntt material or anything ofthat kind. It ia yot more beautiful nndpicturesque than Lako Ohamplaln. *

Schroon lnko, In the neighborhood ofthe Adlrondaoke, is a rock basin, duopartly to folding movements of tho earth'scruet, purtly to the gouging out of tholooso soil by the action of tho great loosheet.

Home IJfe Among theOno would hardly suppose tbat there

could bo particular rules us to tho mannerof sitting upon the ground. But hero asin ovcry other part of Indian lifo there Is arigid observance of custom. Men mayproperly sit upon their heels or cross leg-ged, but no woman may assume tbeso at-titudes. Sho must sit Bidowiso, guthorlngher feet woll under her, and make a broad,Bmooth Jap. When -working, sho maykneel or squat, and when resting sho aawell as tho mon may sit with legs extend-ed, but at all othor times mon and wom-en must obsarvo the etiquette of posturodistinctive of sex.. To xlso without touch-ing tho ground with the hand, springingup lightly and easily to tho foct, is a bit ofgood breeding very difficult to one not tothe manner born. Careful parents areparticular to train their children in theseniceties of behavior. • • . •

While among tho Siouxa mother with a good sized family of boysand girls propounded to me tho questionwhether whito women did not find theirdaughters more trouble than tholr eons.Sho was euro sho did. "Look at thosegirts," said she. " I have their clothes touiake, their hair to braid, and to see thatthoy Jcatn how to bohavc. Now, my boysaro no trouble." Aslglancodat tho groupof children, tbo glossy braids of tho girlsfalling over their single- smock, and theboys, .naked but for tho broooh clout, tholrminiaturo scalp look ornamented with abrass sleigh boll surmounting a snarl offrouzy hair, I recognized tho kinship ofmaternal perplexities tho world over,—Mrs. Alice C.

PASSENGER WHEELBARROWS,

Tlicy Carry Six Person* nnd Arc IQx-teuslvcly Uved^lb Clilua,

The wheelbarrow affords one of thechief means of travel and transport inChina, especially in the northern partof tho empire and throughout the greatplain. The Chinese form is a decidedimprovement on tho types used in west-ern countries, for It is so constructedthat the load, which sometimes is verygreat in bulk and weight, is carriedover the wheel, and not between it nndthe man who propels it. The high costof timber and the bad roads throughoutthe country necessitate Hie wheelbar-rows being both rude and sjrong, withaxles nnd whcelB able to bear the strninswhich they experience, flie wheelbar-row Is generally constructed of oak, ata cost of nbout 10 shillings. Its weightIs 120 pounds; extreme length, six feetsix inches (including shafts); extremebreadth, three feet, t-wo inches, nndheight, three feet six inches. The wheelIs three feet In diameter, nnd hns anIron tire 1% inch wide by one-fourthInch thick. To aid'in steadying andpropelling the vehicle the wheelbarrowirjnn wears a strap across his shoulderswhich Is nttached to the shafts on eachside. Boxes, bales of .goods, or what-ever the ; loads may consist of nre so-,cured to the wheelbarrow by ropes. Thecharge for carrying ap«jiver.age load Isabout one shilling arid five pence permile, but vnrieB nccordlng to the londand the state of the road to be traveledover. The. wheelbnrrow hns seatingaccommodation for four people/two onench side, and the fnre for four peopleis S'4 pence per mile. Passenger foreBaro lower than, those for merchandise.on account of the avoidance of labor inloading and unloading. * A cushionedBeat is provided for the passenger whogenerally site with ono leg resting, onthe front of the barrow and the otherhanging over the side In d rope loop,whlc-h series as a foot reat.: Thus n na-tive Is wheeled for miles over tho roughroads of. the counti-y, with severe jolt-Ing, accompanied by n peculiar squeakof tho axle In the case of most barrows.Immediately behind tHo. wheelbarrow,between the shafts, there Is a long, ob-lonjj-ahaped basket, in which the wheel-barrow, man keeps his few belongings.On.-the great plain wheelbarrows are oc-casionally seen with a Ball set, when afair wind proves a great help to thetrundling of the barrow over a levelw a y . • ' "•• : ; • - . # • .;' • :.

..Since.the Institution of cotton millsit..Shanghai (foreign settlements), thewheelbarrow has been extensively usedas, n passenger vehicle, especially forcarrying work women to and from themills. One man can wheel six womenfor a distance of about three miles,inorning nnd evening, tho charge beingoneshilllng and five pence per month.The average earnings of. a wheelbarrowman'are about 8% pence per day. About1,000 licenses are issued monthly to theuurae number of wheelbarrows plying"for hire in the streets of the foreignsettlements at Shanghai, where, beingunder the municipal regulations, theynre perhaps, tho best In China: The feefor a license is 11 </a pence a month, andno wheelbarrow Is allowed, accordingto the regulations, to carry more than1%- chests of tea, or 8»/s boxes of kero-jeno oil, or 20 % boxes of soap (30pounds each), or ten boxes of soap (63pounds each), or two bales of Americanpiece goods. The width of the packageslniist not exceed four feet—that is, twofeet on ench side of the barrow—and nowlieelbarrow is allowed under any clr-ciuustances:.to carry more than. G00pounds of dead weight. ;Thcso regula-tions are, however, not strictly udheredto. Sometimes in tho streets of theforeign settlements at Shanghai about'CO wheelbarrowB may be seen travelingone behind tho other, each carryingtwo barrels of English Portland cementtnd' push ed by ono man. Very f requent-yV.'-hjrareyer, a lond Is carried on one

^ide of the barrow only, so that the edgeof the 1',4-lnch. tire cats into,tho ma-cadam roadway lilio a knife. The balesBoraetlmcs project three feet on eachaide, tho man pushlngthebarrow beingalmost invisible from tho front. Themunlclpnl ronds are chiefly of macadam,tiud the dninngo they BUstain from thistraffic is very great. I t hns been found,after repented experiments, that granitebroken to pass through a thrce:guno,;terinch ring and rolled In f.ie usual man-ner is the only kind of macadam road-way that will stand this Bevere traffic.It is extraordinary to see a Chinamanskilfully balancing nnd propelling aheavy load on one side of n barrow, and,considering that there are about 4,QO0 ofthese vehicles traveling through thestreets of tho settlements,. In additionto a large traffic of other kinds, the up-sets nnd accidents are remarkably few.—Iron Age. .

LONELY PLACE.

A Desert Isle With Ninety-four Inn»bit-ftnts In the 80 nth Atlantic.

Anybody who fools an inclination tolead a really quiet life should emigrate toTristan da Cimho, nn Island, or, to boquite accurate, three islands close together,la tho south Atlantic, so far away fromauywhero that rcully they are quite out ofthe world. Tho group waB discovered andnamed by the Portuguese «way book intbo time when Portugal was somethingznoro than a namo on the map, but now,of .course, 16 belongs to England, havingboon appropriated by hor, In 1810, one daywhen sho didn't happen to be busy grab-bing Btray bits of land more valuable thanthJsojio, For awhile some soldiers werekoptthore boonu BO of a vague suspicionthat Tristan da Gunha might be made thobase ol operations in the interest of St.Helena's terrible guest. After Napoleon'sdeath tho whole garrison departed excepta corporal and two companions, who hadn tuate for solitude and asked to be leftbehind. Slowly tho population grew, atfirst from wrecks and afterword In theordinary way, and now thore are 04 peopleon tho Island, divided into 16 families..According to a recently, published bice

book, the colony Is an abode of completepeace ana moderate bappineu. The peoplehave no money and no private property.There are no doctors, lawyers or clergy-nion on the island, and yet health, safetyand piety prevail, and such few needs asthe soil docs not supply are met by traf-Uoking with an occasional whaler. Oboea your an KngllBh warship visits the Ii-land, distributes a few newspapers andletters and goes away again.

The only, serloas calamity that everovertook ; the Islanders V&B when, duringour olvll war, tho Shonandoah landed 40Federal prisoners there, ana left them tobe fed or starved, as the Inhabitants sawfit. This suddan demand on their resourcesoauie near dostroylng both hoBts endguests, but they managed to. strugglethrough the difficulty. The islanders aregood to shipwrecked mariners, and tlioonly chargo brought against them Is thatthey Boll extremely tough poultry to cap-tains calling there for tKBh provisionsand toy to get at) much cloth for old geeseas for young once.

It wafl usually hi tho afternoon thiitTennyson would delight us, und .my ofthu otJior guests who thronged hie house,by reading to us some uf bis poeiiJH. Jhave hoiird him road "Guinevere" nndnijtiiy other of liia pot'tiis. He rt-nd in utort of recitative, somewhat monotonouslyut times uud always rhythmically, hutwith Buoh deep omotluu thut tho elleutwas Indescribable. I once asked him torend "BUHUUMJU," becauso of its singularlysonorous lilt, and ho did so, though hu didnot regnrd it us much moro than aii ex-periment in language and motor.

Two of Ills leadings aro impressed onmy memory with special vividness. Onowas "Tho Kovcngo," which lio read to adistinguished company whom hu wet utdinner at iuy lioutu) at Westminster.Among them was my purishioiHT, thu la tolorO cliuneellor, Lord Hatherley—0110 oftho best and truest men whom I evurknow—toward whom Mr, Tennyson seem-tad to be iinuieiliiitfc.y drawn. Tho effectof his reading of thut noblo piece was llkoUnit of u vivid picture, as his Wuli. eono-roos vah-o rosa and fell with thu changesof the impassioned story.

The others were muoh longer readings.Ho road us tho whole of "Queen Mary"bi'foro it wns published.. I t litis neve* beenamong tho more populnr of bis works, und1 belluvo that on tlio etago, even with SirHenry Irving to holp, it was not a draiuat-lo success, but as the jioofc interpreted itby his sympathetic reading I ban neverbefore BO deuply felt tbo trngedy of tho lifeof that lulserablo queen, with her diseasedbody, her dlsuppointod love, lior blightedhopes nud tht> eour, gloomy, cruel, iiupol'mrwt\ fanaticism which BIIO took (or roll'glon und tho eervloo of her God. AB horead, breadth on breadth of gloom seemedto bo falling, fold after fold, upon tho lifeof tho unhappy woman, and his own voicewas often broken by emotion. I specially,however, remember tbo ring of triumphwith whioh, uf tor tho successful repressionof Wyatt'e rebellion, the queen is firstniudo to say, "Itly foes ore ut my feet, andI tun queen," and with BtUl inoro raptur-ous pueaiou, " i ly foes uro at my foot, undPhilip king."

I also enociiilly remember his reading oftho poem of "Akhbur'sDream." Ho toldruo much about Akhbar whioh was onHrc*ly new to uio. For breadth and wlfidoinof thought this poem must ahvayH tuke avery high placo.—Hov. Jr. \V. Furrar InKow iTork Independout.
