LABOR ENTITLEDT0 ITS REWARD

Court Holds failure to Nego­tiate Loans . No Excuse

for Withholding fees. ■Judge Wllhu. A. Helaley has just de-

elded a case which will prove of con­siderable interest to real estate men of Ibis vicinity. I t is that of George W. Pittenger of Asbury Pars against Richard BL Woodward and John J . Troutman of Long Branch, executors of Nathaniel W. frontman, deceased,

Action was brought before Magistrate John A. Bsrden some time ago by Coun­selor James D. Carton, representing Mr. Pittenger, for $175 commission and ex­penses in procuring a loan.of $3,GOO,

After being put to considerable trouble and expense Mr. Pittenger discovered Jiiat according to the will the executors could transfer but could-not mortgage the property. The executors immediately called the matter off, but suit was brought and judgment secured. On the appeal Judge Helaley reaffirmed ,the verdict of the lower court, holding that the execu­tors were liable, notwithstanding their In* ability to negotiate the loan.

Another case directly in line with the aboye wag that of Clarence E. Hetrick against Barnabas Burr and Lottie M- Burr, his wife, for services In procuring a

loan of §5,000 on the Bnrrlngton Hotel, beard recently by Justice Borden,

A contract was entered Into, but In searching the title a forfeiture clause In the; original deed from Mr. Bradley was found. This Mr. Bradley refused to re lease until Mr. and Mrs. Burr agreed to tear down tbe spite fence separating their property from tbat next door and also re­move their obstructing sign. This they refused to do and no mortgage could be secured.

Justice Borden gave Judgment for tbe plaintiff, who was represented by Coun­selor James D. Carton. Counselor Samuel A. Patterson represented the defendants.

shop in Shrewsbury avenue, Red Bank, and had started toward th® buslness'feen- ter of the town to make some purchases. There Is a flagman at the Chestnut street crossing, and he shouted to the occupants of the wagon warning them of the danger at hand. Either Wolcott, who wag driv­ing, did not hear the warning, or thought he could reach the other side of tha cross­ing before the train arrived. At any rate, tbe train struck the carriage.- Walcott's right arm was cut ofi at the shoulder, his right leg was severed just below the knee, and his bead was badly c u t Dr. Edwin 8. Field, a hospital, surgeon, was on the train, and be had the injured man removed to the baggage room near the station. The next south bound train car­ried Woicott to the hospital.

BULLOCK BEGGED T0BE KILLED

Wanted His Captors to Blow* Out His Brains—May

Recover.Although his condition is critical and ery day that passes without an opera­

tion being performed lessens his chances at life, William- Bullock, the colored desperado who was shot down by twe dstectlves Wednesday night, Is still alive aWd conscious in Portsmouth, Va. I f he gcovere he will be taken hack to Hew

.mated that he would refuse to go with- oat the papers.i Sheriff Davis yesterday afternoon tele­

graphed the jail officials that the man tfken by the detectives lb Bullock.'

The wounded prisoner told one of the detectives after his capture that he waa to have a new trial, and he did not appear to fear returning to New Jersey. But when he was first captured, and the detectives ihowed him the picture which established Sin identity, he seemed to realize fully tbe late In store for him, for he begged them to blow his brains out.

There was so question about Bullock’s identity after Sheriff Davis saw him.

“Hello, Bill; are you badly hurt?” asked the sheriff, Bullock’s answer waft4 happy smile. He was glad to see his probable executioner.' Sheriff Davis Immediately did every­

thing possible to secure the comfort and recovery of-his prisoner. The very best surgeon obtainable was summoned. I t la a question whether Bullock will be taken north fry steamer or allowed to spend two •faioBtlw in hospital in Portsmouth If he survives the operation. . s ■

The London papers note th a t the supply of ostrich flum es'in th a t city, the center of the trade, ha*, been great­ly curtailed by the South African war. I t is said ,that t^ere.jwill be a.d^flcl^nfsy of nearly ’ $270,($0 w orth of. feathers a t the next sale in itincing lane. To these sales, which take pla?e pix times a year, buyers come from every part of the continent/ aiid even from A m er-! ica. Over $4,000,000 w orth of feathers 1 are-sold every year, making an average of $675,000 a t e^ch sale. -Since the cap­tu re of 'the Khartoum there has been a steady supply of ostrich feathers from Barbary and, though the South African, f ^ t^ e r s , §till qo&jpanfl ;.tj& higher price, their supremacy is threat- ened by: the Barbary, feathera. At Minc­ing lane the cost of the f eathers rangesfrom $7.50 .to\'$75.°r „fp°. J><* . {^p-nd freight. The te s t w ing 'feathers give about 110 tp 1?0 to the pound, and s t tlie liighest price this works out a t less th an 75 cents, each. As many of the w hitefeafhT rs scarcely need cleaning, and as dyeing and curling are very in­expensive, either the middleman or the m illiner must reap handsome profits from the fashionable weakness for these beautiful feathers. The smaller feathers from the tail and body of the bird are used for bpas. <'

LATEST THING IN HOSIERY.

We Sprlna I n n Mad.A good deal of pleasure appears to

have been elicited by the proofs .which a German professor ha* made public to show vth a t we are no t descended toomv apes, says London Trrith. li vrould seem tha t the apes branched oft frqm the direct line of descent [(bout th e Jlme th a t we did, and th a t they, are, consequentiy, our cousins agood many tim es removed and no t our remote grandfathers. Personally i t is a m at­te r of perfect indifference to ine wheth- t‘r l~desceuil fronraiTBpe or wnether th e ape is only my cousin. D uring the period that covers the life of a planet, or, I suppose, of a star, there is a com­paratively brief period when the heat and the humidity produce vegetation, and the outcome of vegetation is ani­mal life, if, indeed, there is any cleat line of demarkation between animal and vegetable life. We and the apes alike descend from protoplasmic mud, one of the most recent discoveries be- ng th a t all molecules are a self-con­tained ejectric battery .

Wheh a woman ralWes her sk irts nowadays the passer-by w ith sharp eyea will notice .what appears to be a Stocking slipping down, beyond phys­ical-and m oral support. She is in .no ' danger of losing it.. I t wop’t tu rn down even over her foot, I t is merely the mousquetaire stocking, the la te s t ofj feminine folly's fads, says the Chi­cago chronicle. J u s t a s a long glove would wrinkle over my lady’s w rist aiid arm, so her long stocking now Wrinkles over her,leg . This probably yvss devised by th e g irl w ith th in lower, extrem ities for the consterna­tion of, he r stout friend, whp could not afford to add anything to the cir­cumference of th a t p a rt of her body.

CRITICISING OTHERS.One of Two S n lo u Defebta o f Char-

To. crlticlBO o thers is one o l tlie commonest of faults. We are a p t to a ttrib u te i t to mere 111-nature, and sometimes iti ia due to this. B ut It often has another cause, lying fa rther back. I t is 'due quite as much to the epiriti of .self-exaltation as to an un­kind disposition to decry. We like to ehpw tf ia t we know w hat ia righ t, th ^ t. we have a high standard which othetjshave failed to equal. Criticism of ,their failures is involved in our as-, sertion of our own superiority, • but; tie -p rim a ry sin on our p a rt is pride quite as o ften as simple ill-nature, nor, does th is fac t make our sin any th e less. , . ■- >■•■

To make th e best of others; to see ip, them , whenever possible, a good purpose, whatever failure of perform ­ance there m ay have been; to reali2e and insist upon th e ir good qualities, whatever the ir defects—this is to win th e ir respect and aiTectlon, to encour­age them to overcome their weakness­e s ,'an d to help all-w ho know , them to .do them justice more willingly. I t i» to rad iate moral sunshine and

MODERN PAGANISM.

People W ho Are In Our C hri.lian Civ- lH satlon slut Hot of It—D irarf-

ln a the S p iritua l Life.'

I t is quite possilfc to be a pagan in modern times and In Christian coioi- m unities; i t is possible, in o ther words, to be in a Christian civilization bu t not of it, to use the Immense bene­fits which organized Christianity has conferred upon society and never darken a church dopr, to share the incalculable privilege of the Christian Sunday and £ive the whole day to amusement. A pagan is not a bad m an; on the contrary, be may be a very good m an; he may be entirely tru s t worthy; honest, honorable and kind. He lives, however, as if Christ had no t lived, and he dies as if Christ had no t died; in hiR beijt e s ta te 'h e ignores religion and lives a d rtn r life entirely bounded by im mediate in ter­ests and pleasures. The spiritual life dites not, exist for him ; he h a j no tim e and rilakes ho room for it ; he is often a fliie physical type, w ith wholesome appetites, great energy, an‘d love of out-of-door activity. He gives the whole of Sunday to golf or tennis or the wheel; he takes long walks which make church attendance impossible; on tbe m aterial sice his whole lif t is vigorous, manly, healthful.' ,

There are hosts of such men, and th e ir num ber is increasing. One finds among them many of the mo£t influ­ential men in the community, leaders in the professions and in finance, They w ork hard flv« or six days in the week, and play hard one or two days. .They are stronger men than their fa-

-thersi because they have learned how- to play.} . they are carry ing heavier burdens and are under greater pres­sure th an the ir fa thers; they need more out-of-door life; they, m ust have more activity, oxygen, freedom and variety. The trouble~doeS\3iot lie In w hat {hey are doing, bu t in what they iirfe leaving undone. I t is righ t and wise th a t they should build up th e physical life, but i t is wrong and foolish th a t they should dw arf the spiritual life.—N. Y. Outlook.

S p n k ln c tbe Truth..While the tru th is always to be

spoken, if anything-is said, it Ib no t always necessary to say anything. We may feel very keenly about certain m at­te rs and be thoroughly convinced th a t our view is the correct one, and yet haVe regard to timeliness and the feel­ings of others in the expression offDur opinions.. I t m ay no t be Cowardice a t all, but simply the self-restraint which comes from a wise judgm ent of.oppor­tun ities and conditions, or a regard for others, th a t seals our lips. In house­hold1 life: one has frequent occasions’ to act' bfi th is principle. The Inopportune declaration of w hat you th ink or'knbw m&f ’alienate tho closest friends and BOW’ discord fl never to be uprootdd. ( I t i» rid defense whatever>to say tlia t you spoke w hat yon thought, o r that w hat you sald 'waB triie. N either the latv o f (rankrieek nor veracity "puts youiinder any 'obligation to outrage o thers’ feel­ings. Pdul declares th a t we are to “speak the t r u th in love." By heeding the qualification' “in love” we shall be saved from a m ultitude of errors. Speaking the tru th to p u t others in th e wrong and exult over them, to magnify ourselves, to make others despicable or ridiculous—w h a t,a chasm there ia be­tween those things and “speaking tho tru th in love.”—B artonW atchm an.

‘How. will God w rite it, papa?” asked little Eve. ■ 1 -‘ r!: ■■■-■■:.

‘W rite1 w hat?” asked h e r father, looking off liis reading .1 ' 1 ,

Eve got1 up frorti tlie'low stool'w here Bhe had ,been sitting w ith her book and. came across to him. .

I t was Sunday evening/and these two were keeping house while m other was a t church; ■ ;; ■’

“See w hat i t says,” said she, resting th e book o t ' his knee and pointing. Then she read i t 'out: “And His nam e shall be in. their, foreheads.” “You.see i t ’s out of the Bible,” added she, “and I know i t means God, because of th a t big H. Ho.w will God w rite it,-pfcpa?” '

H er fa ther pu t down his book and took her on his knee.' “God will not' w rite a t all,” said he.

'Not w rite i t ! ” exclaimed Eve, in astonishm ent, “Then liow will i t come there?” s

“Some things w rite themselves,” said her father.

Eve looked as if she did no t under­stand. But, of course, i t m ust be true, since her fa th er said it; so she waited fo r him to explain.

‘When you looka t g randfather’s sil­ver hair," began her father,' “w hat do you see wriVten-there? T h a t he is an old, old gentleman, don’t you?” contin­ued he, as Eve hesitated. “Who wrote it there?”

“i t w rote itself,” said Eve.F a ther nodded.“Right,” said he. “Day by day arid

year by year the white ha irs came, until a t la s t i t Was w ritten quite as plainly as if somebody'had' taken pen and ink and put i t down on paper for you to read. Now, when I look in your mouth, w hat do I see w ritten there? I see, ‘This little g irl is not a baby now; for she has a ll;h er teeth and can ea t c rm ts.’ T hd t h as been w riting Itself ever since the llrs t tooth th a t you cut, when m other had to ea rry j'ou about all night because i t pained you so.”

Eve laughed.“W hat a funny so rt of w riting!”

said she.“Wheri little girls are cross and,dis­

obedient,” her father w ent on, “where floes it .write itself? Look in the glass next time you are naughty and see.”

“I know1," said Eve. “In th e ir faces, doesn’t i t? ”

“And if they are good?”“In th e ir faces too. Is th a t w hat

the te x t means?”“That is w hat i t means,” said

father. “Because, if we go on being naughty all our lives, i t w rites itself upon our faces so th a t nothing can ru b .i t out. But if we are good,the -angela will—read upon—ornr^foreheacis th a t we are God’s. So you m ust try , day by day, to go on w riting i t .”— Children's Paper.

I t you have not already begun your holiday advertising you can’t begin U a riilnute too soon. ■ The purchase of Christmas presents Is often planned a long time In advance, and the merchant who Is first,' or among the first to offer helpful sugges­tions through good advertising, will win out a long way ahead of those .who neglect this lmportantwork”, because It Is so easily put off. -

Don’t get the Idea that yon will do just about so much business whether you advertise or not, and that, at most, all you need do Is to print a long list of gift arti­cles, ■without a price or a comment. That Is wrong. This Is the time of all times when ad readers want price and particulars, and -the more fully and faithfully these are given the better your business will be. And don’t forget to make your windows do their share by dressing them attractively.

See that the holiday spirit of helpfulness and good cheer Is infused Into your selling force, then get all you can of It Into your ads, says the highest authority on advertising. Urge the advantages of early buying, while stocks are unbroken and store crowds are not large, offer to lay purchases aside on payment of a small deposit, for delivery at the purchaser’s convenience, and to exchange such goods as can be exchanged without Injustice to yourBelf or other customers, if returned In good order and within a reasonable time. Offer “money back,” too. Do everything you can to make gift buying easier and more satisfactory at your store than at any other store In your town. Then advertise In the JptnurAi, and tell briefly and clearly in your ad jnst what you are doing. I t you do this your Christmas Eve count ought to be very satisfactory. \

How Jersey Lawyers Fare.Tbe Increase in the number of lawyers

In New Jersey is a problem that is being freely discussed by the practitioners throughout the state. The addition of the three classes of this year brings the nnm ber of lawyers in the state up to about 2,000. The court record shows, of the lawyers now in service, tbat of 2,000 that are living only 1,600 are In practice. Of the 1,600 In practice there is not a thou­sand wbo are active.

OLEO BILL_P4SSED,Vote S tood 196 to 92 F o r the

G rout Measure.

BEVENCE REDUCTION BILL REPORTEDWayK nnd Means Committee Agreesto $40,000,000 Deeienat-Tke Mont

Annoying and Vexation* of the War TUes to Be Abolished.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The house festerday passed the Grout oleomarga­rine bill by a vote of 190 to 92. The substitute offered by the minority of the committee bn agriculture, which imposed additional restrictions on the sale of oleo­margarine to prevent its fraudulent sale as butter nnd increased the penalties for violators, was defeated by a vote of 113 to 178. / : .

The bill as passed makes nil articles known as oleomargarine, butterine, imi­tation butter or imitation cheese trans­ported into any state or territory for consumption or sale subject to the police power of such state or territory, but pre­vents any state 6r territory from forbid­ding. the transportation or sale of such product when produced and sold free from coloration in imitation of butter. The bill Increases the tax on oleomar­garine colored in imitation of butter from 2 to 10 cents per pound and decreases the tax on oleomargarine uncolored from 2 cents to one-quarter of a cent per pound.

A long and interesting debate preceded the vote, in the course of which those who favored the Grout bill claimed the additional tax on colored oleomargarine was the only effective remedy for pre­venting. fraud upon tho public, .while those who opposed it contended, that fraud would be prevented by the substi­tute aud that the real purpose of the Grout bill was to destroy the oleomarga­rine industry.

Chairman Payne of the ways and means committee late in the afternoon submitted tbe report of that committee signed by all the Republican members in favor of the bill reducing the war rev­enue taxes about $40,000,000. The re­port says in part:

“While the war for which these addi­tional taxes were levied is ended, the train of extraordinary expenditures has not terminated with the close of actual hostilities. We find it still necessary to maintain an army of 100,000 men until law and order is fully restored in all our possessions. We find it also necessary to provide troops to man the fortifications which we have been building the past few years and also to provide a sufficient force in the navy to mSin the vessels we have recently added. The increasing navy, too, brings new necessities, all of which call for a greater drain upon our resources.

“In making the reductions in tbe bill reported the committee have sought to remove the more annoying taxes in the war revenue act by the entire abolition of those -which were most vexatious and by a reduction of those which seem to have proved a great burden upon the several branches of trade to which they were applied.

The report then gives the changes in­detail, with estimated amoiyit of reduc­tion, which has heretofore^ appeared. It, continues:

“The 2 cent-stamps on bank chetks,’ certificates of deposit, drafts, postal money orders, etc., are very annoying to a large class of people, and much com­plaint . has been-mfade to the committee,

Central’s IIncreased traffic on tbe New Jersey

Central Railroad haa necessitated the ordering of two new ferryboats and 0,225 new cars. Of the latter twenty-five are to be passenger coaches of the most ap­proved type. Exclusive of this latest order the Jersey Central has purchased within the past two years 4,500 freight

especially from the smaller towns and7 from farmers.

“Another source of annoyance has been the. tax of 1 cent on express receipts and telegraph messages. Then; is no doubt but that this taxation has caused more widespread annoyance and trouble than anything else in the act. The committee, therefore, have stricken these tnxea from the law. The tax on deeds and convey-; ances has been qnite burdensome in nu-. merous instances, as well as the tax upon insurance and leases. The tax upon promissory notes and mortgages has been very onerous upon the debtor class. I t has seemed to them thqt it was enough, to pay interest without paying a tribute* to the government upon every transac­tion of th iB kind. These are the principal items in amount that are stricken from tbe schedule, while the other taxes of like character are small in amount and present*an obvious reason for their re-, peal.

schedule B excepting the tnx upon wines.' This includes the tax upon proprietary medicines and articles of a similar na-' ture. There has been greater protest- against the enforcement of this tax than any other in the whole law. It would ap­pear that the tax was much greater in, severity than congress anticipated when, the law was enacted.”

After giving the reductions in detail,' aggregating $40,000,346, the report says:

“In making the foregoing reductions; your committee believes that the bill goes as far as it is safe to go in reducing the revenue. They also believe that they have made the reductions so as to do away with the most annoying and vexatious taxes under the act and nlso to relieve such business as Is best entitled to relief iftider all the circumstances. While re­gretting that they cannot at this time make a report finally disposing of the war taxes, except-such as congress may deem it wise hereafter to keep upon the statute' book, yet they congratulate the country that they are able to report a bill strik­ing off 40 per cent of this kind of taxa­tion.

“After this reduction of $40,000,000 shall take effect, leaving a revenue of $65,000,000 under the war revenue act, that sum will be barely sufficient to meet the train of extraordinary expenditures which follow the close of actual hostili­ties. We are certainly justified in main­taining the war revenues up to a point equal to the extraordinary expenses en­tailed by the war.”

Mr. Payne sold that he would call up the bill in the house next Tuesday after the legislative till Is passed. No; pro­gramme for debate has been fixed.

Morrow's Men Also In Action—Sev « n l Minor Eagagemeata.

MANILA, Dec. 8.—More activity is Shown in the operations in northern and southern Luzon. The reports from the former district come in moro quickly, andvtelegraphic interruptions' are fewer.

General Funston, with Troop A of tho Fourth cavalry and a score of scouts, last Thursday encountered i00 insur­gents posted on the opposite bank of tho Nehico river. The Americans charged across the stream, and the enemy retreat­ed, firing from cover. They left four dead on the field, A native who was captured reported that Fagin, deserter from tho Twenty-fourth infantry, who has been active with the Filipinos, with a party of two cavalrymen, had' been wounded.

Lieutenant Morrow, with 60 men from the Forty-seventh regiment, attacked and occupied Bnlacan. Whilo returning these troops encountered Colonel Vlcto- ris, occupying an Intrenched position with 30 rifles and 300 bolomen. Lieu­tenant Morrow’s force charged and drove the enemy from their position, it is believed with heavy loss. Preceding the fight the expedition had captured; Major Flores and several of his follow-' ers.

An engagement is reported to have oc­curred near San Roque, in which, accord-- ing to natives, 50 rebels were'killed.

Several minor encounters and captures are b I b o reported. The American casu­alties have been very slight. The island of Bohul has recently been the scene of more activity on the part of the insur­gents than formerly, and a company has been sent to re-enforce the battalion sta­tioned there.

The members of the Philippine com­mission and several military officials are a t Dagupan today as gnests of the rail­way management. Their families ac­companied them. They will return to­morrow.

French War Preparations.PARIS, Defc. 8.—The sjfiate adopted

the naval biU after, a skt/tt discussion. Senator Combes, Progressive Republican, representing the Charente-Inferieure, urged the building of 20 additional cruis­ers to prey upon Great Britain’s com­merce in case of war. The minister of marine, M. de Lnuessan, replied that the number of cruisers projected in the pres­ent bill would suffice for France’s needs. General Mercier then rose and alluded to his speech of Dec. 4, when he urged training the army in embarkation and dis­embarkation drills so as to be ready for an invasion of England. He said he was unable to understand the sensation his re­marks had produced. He did not desire war with Great Britain, but he thought it the duty of the government to provide for such an eventuality. He repudiated enjr intention to appear aggressive to­ward Great Britain.

To Prohibit Polrgamy,WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Representa­

tive Tnyler of Ohio, who was prominent­ly-identified in the movement to exclude Brigham Roberts, of Utah from a Seat in congress, has introduced a measure In­tended to bring about federal prohibition of polygamy. I t proposes a constitution­al amendment for uniform laws on mar­riage and divorce. Mr. Tayler says, how­ever, that bis aim goes considerably be­yond a mere uniformity of Buch laws and is expressly designed to reach polygamy and put an end to it. He regards this form of remedy as tbe most effective and farreaching. ,

Experienced w orkers in o u r social settlem ents are practically unanimous In declaring th a t in devoting them ­selves to the service of th e poor they receive m ore than they give—In. wider comprehension of life, in deepened sym pathies, in the moving daily ex­am ple of obscure heroic lives and of the marvelous generosity of tbe very poor to each other. Nevertheless, the life has its difficulties and drawbacks. Of some of her lesser trouble* 4 se ttle ­ment w orker recently made humorous complaint, says Y outh’s Companion.

One of them was th e names. She had1 in her d is tric t many foreigners, chiefly Poles and Russians, and to keep track of them all was, she mourned, aa troublesome as counting a hundred active chickens in a barnyard. I t waa no t easy even to learn tbe names by ear. The m ost of them were long, and filled w ith jsvl’s, ts ’s and zcb'» in d istractingly ca ta rrhal combination.

Then. ju s t as they were m astered r whole fam ilies would e ither translate their surnames, or, dropping them a l­together, select any American name th a t took the ir fancy. Often while they were about i t they changed the ir Christian names a t the same tim e.

R eturning a fte r an absence, she once wished to find her llt.tle friend, Eudtada Slombodinsky. She waa inform ed th a t (he family had moved to B lank street, near th e avenue, bu t on going there and m aking inquiries of tne neighbors she-w as told th a t no such name was known to them . She mentioned th a t the peopleahe sought were newcomers; bn t no, there were no newcomers there, except, indeed, the Joneses, n ex t the corner.

^Slombodinsky—family—h ad —suddenly- transform ed themselves into Joneses, and. th a t her' protege, Eudoxia, was now plain Maggie Jones.

Their ears being no t yet trained to the niceties of our language, such as­piring foreigners often m ake odd ex­changes of name. T hus a sta te ly S tan ­islava may reduce herself to Jane, and » melodious N atalia to Minnie; while one polysyllable damsel proudly re- christened herself Betsey Budge.

Accident also contributes to change. Some families 'accept a mispronuncia­tion or corruption in place of th e ir true name. One Httle g irl alw ays known to th e settlem ent as Annje Valenka was addressed in the presence of a worker as Annie Balenka.

‘Which is your real name, Annie?” she was asked.

“Oh,” w as the reply, “our rea l name was Balenka; bu t the m an who made the doorplate go t it wrong, and1 he was going to make fa th e r pay 50 oente if It was changed, so he wouldn’t change it, an d we’re Valenka now.”

LISBON, Dec. 3.—In consequenct' of. the action ot the Portuguese government in withdrawing the exequatur of Herr Pott, the Dutch,consul at Loisrencf?

Dr. Van Weede lias already left here. ■' i - 1 ;. :

Horr Pott bIbo represented the Trans­vaal at Lourenco Marques up to a short time ago, when Portugal withdrew his exequatur for the same r&ason as was gives when his Dutch credentials were eanceled two days ago.

The TreUHe Bi:clitln«a,LONDON, Dec. 8.—The Lisbon corre­

spondent of The Standard, in a dispatch giving the history of the Pott dispute, says; ' ., /

"Portugal’s first request td HcSiand to wlthdrav/ Herr Potts was made Not. 17. Holland offered on Nov. 27 to give him a three months’ leave of absence, and Por­tugal accepted this solution on condition that he should be withdraws at the expi­ration of his leave, Holland did not reply until Dec. 4, when she claimed the right to make ft, prior investigation at Itouren- co Marques, Portagal considered this impertinent and withdrew Herr Pott’s exequatur. Thcrcnpoa .Holland ordered her representative to leave Lisbon, and Portugal followed suit.”

_thlng-ont o f plumS. Still, a good tailor ought to know when a garm ent fit.*, and should either be able to correct its -unfitness o r not le t I t leave the shop. Speaking of th . cutting part, I remem­ber nn incident th a t occurred once a t a convention of cu tte rs held in Cincin­nati. The subject for discussion was the cu tting -noS fitting of garment*, and a testy old Scotchman had the floor. He said in effect th a t if. a ce»t were c a t to se t rig h t upon thed«ltoid muscle th a t th« wearer would alwiiya find i t comfortable and well fitting.

*' Tn fact,* said he, ‘th . deltoid mus­cle determines the fit of s coat.’

*' ‘Will the gentleman sta te w hat aad, where the deltoid muscle is?’ iked % cu tte r on the o ther side of the chain-.' b t r . ,

“The Scotchman turned o s him sharply. —•

“ ‘Sir,* he gald, angrilyr‘do y6irclajm -to ^b eT cu tter and no t know where the deltoid muscle Is located? Don’t you know, sir, th a t a knowledge of the hu­man antomy ia as im portant to the tailor aa I t i» to the surgeon? Do you expec t to cut a garm ent to fit an object whose every line and curve you do not know ? You m ight aa well try to fit a plug to a hole w ithout knowing the size of the hole. No, sir, the gentleman will not «tat« w hat and where the deltoid muscla is. I t is your duty, sir, to know the deltoid muscle; no t mlae to in­s tru c t you.’

"The discussion ended there, simply because there wa* nobody present to carry i t on, for I don’t believe u, man in the place except the old fellow knew anything about deltoid muscles, I kmow I didn’t, bu t aa soon as I go t to a dictionary I looked'it up.

One day subsequently Mr. Combs re­ceived a le tte r from Judge Cutler con­veying- the happy news tha t the hounds hs<l been recovered. Judge Cutler writes th a t they were found ia .the m ountains several miles from where the Oaklanders had been hunting by a miner, who had1 heard them barking for several days.

Margaret often, wondered of what uira she hud been in the world,; For 12 years she

i had lived among the solitudes of the plains, away from all her kind. From her cabin door she could look out over the blue line oi hills to the snow capped range beyond. Foi 12 seapons she had watched the plains turn from'brown to emerjid and from emerald to brown, , In; summer the sun shone with for*, uittanty upon the slanting, roof, ahd!

d»or. During these shut in .pW'Od^ ^hsn her work was done, Mar K‘">r»t *ften pondered over her life.: Ovei th*t p u t, co full, so rich, so happy*, w her she had lived in the old home village ib her pretty cottage side by side 'With

waste of plains that ,'aay. "Aa," snejcneo, in'exaltation, “not that verse, but the on< next it.” Then she repeated in a firm, clear, joyous tone these words: “And God; said let there be light, and there wan light.” And to-morrow would be Thanksgiving day.— The Home Magazine, W^^'Pifctony^ ’i \

SJHe Used to follow Margaret: aboul her work, and sit by her side when!’it was finished. Margaret often told him Bible Btorief,,in,a clear and simple way, that he could Understand, for slie was ever .a pious, saintly soul, anxious to be used.•' i ^Malfcaret/ihi the* KMle: cabin on the plains, used to shut her eyes and fancy she heard the elear/Eweet, pleading tones again.; "Let me fn, Aunt Margaret. I want to heait ,about Daniel - h the lion’s den todajf." Then how gladly she would rise from her eeat and .opsn th^.door to the eager, brown' »y«d child without. 7 • <-

After that came the crash that took their 831, the breaking up of the pretty, com­fortable house, the Sittings from one fdace to another, until they drifted out upon tW plain—then the loneliness and the silence, r

.Margaret used-to look out over the plains in the dull gray days of autumn, when the itoOW feli fiteadily, steadily, and think o< that virse in Genesis, “And the earth Tiritliqut form j and:, vojcl.” Just so her life seemed to her, these sad, sad days.' Empty, uprooted, formless. "And yet God know« best,” ,she used to whisper. "If He will 'only-let:tiiei little I have done resound to Hia honor and glory, I shall be satisfied, for I can do nothing now.”

She looked out of the cabin window. The wind swept across the plains, the moun­tains were .hid in, a thick gray mist, and it was the day before Thanksgiving. At that moment, John, her husband, came in. He patted her kindly bn the shoulder as he passed her. “I have to go to town, Mar* garet/' he began, "the gray mare has cast 4 sfcioe, and besides I want fco get you some* thj^ig foi:‘your Thanksgiving dinner. Per­haps there’ll be a letter for you, to^/’ he went on.

Margaret brightened. The post ofBee brought .this only sunlight to her life.

l4Perhaps there will be,” s&e answered, /'but you must hurry, John. I t is storm­ing in the mountains now.”

A few minutes later John set off, Marga* ret watehed him ride away in the gray mist that soon enveloped and shut him from her view. Almoet insensibly her mind re­verted to the old verse in the first chapter of Genesis._ “And the earth was without form and void/*

Oh, the dullness, the monotony of these plains. If tlie light would only come. -

She turned away and began , to make hei slender preparations for t% morrow. As

worked with the currants and the rais- ins, it brought to miiid tfie old anJ^Tia p- pier Thanksgivings in the gray cottage with little Cyrus by her side. Twelve long years. She ,had been 30 then. She was 42 now. What a time she had been in learning the Lord’s Prayer, she thought, as her nimble fingers kept busy at work. “HoW old was he? Why now he must be 17. Seventeen. Just think of it. My little, brown-eyed boy. I wonder if lie still remembers Aunt Mar­garet, and if his young feet are firmly set Zionward. God grant it.” ;

At seven John came home. "We’re going to have a white Thanksgiving after all, Margaret/’ he said, as he shook the snow from his coat. He laid some bundles on the table. Then he took from his pocket a let­ter and a flat package and handed them over to her.

41You did get a letter after all, Margaret,” hr. added, cheerfully, “from the old home, too. I ’m glad it came to-day.”

Margaret took the letter, laying the pack­age in her lap. She opened it, glanced at the

_agnaturp--at-the-erid-of th/vclosely writtensheets. Then' a great wave, of color swept over her face.

“Why, John.” she cried, “it’s from Cyn­thia; dear old Cynthia.”

She settled, herself to read it with a shin­ing face. "Outside the snow fell steadily, but Margaret heeded it not. When she had finished it she turned to her husband. “John,” she said, in a tone that thrilled him strangely, “you remember little Cyrus? Cynthia’s youngest child; My boy J used to always caM him.”

John nodded. - . ..“Weil, he’s going tof^e a minister, Cyn­

thia writes me, and John, (with a little break in her voice)* she says it is all through me. He told his mother that evei since I related to him those old Bible stories, he has had his thoughts in that direction. Cynthia say a she is the happiest woman in the world, and she owes it all to God and me. He starts to the Theological seminary next week. He sends his picture, she says. This must be it.”.. She lifted the package in her lap with

quivering fingers and opened it. The wrapping fefT apart, revealing to her a bright, boyish face—the face of,her old time favorite. The( same child’s face,: yet some­how changed. The eyes‘still clear and fear le*s, looked into hers. The mouth was still a* sweet1 and pure and tender1 as a little' child's, yet' the seal of a grand purpose was there. Margaret looked at' it and her eye* filled with tearp. ^Let.me iij, Aunt Mar­garet/' a little voice seemed to say, "1 witit to hear about:Daniel again.”

She turned it over.v Across the back waf wTitteh in a firm, clear liand these words:

DIZZINESS-■ .•:!( iSC) -i!, r %A plain, straightforward statement regarding

Ripans Tabules is herewith made by a middle-aged lady living in Memphis, Tenn. J have been a great sufferer for years. About twelve months since I became a victim to dizziness or vertigo. So badly was I affected as to fall and become1 insensible. I consulted several prominent ■ physicians, but their prescriptions did no good whatever. All my life I have been bitterly opposed to patent medicine. Am t h t widow of a surgeon and p'hysician. I chanced Jo read your advertisement and sent for fifty cents' worth of Ripans Tabules. I took one Tabule three, tinjies daily, and when all were gone found myself free jffpm that horrible affliction, although I had 6e^n afflicted for months.

S everely PanlHh B o x e n ,PEKING, Dec. 8 —Li Hung Chan*

hat informed General Chaffee that he and all the people df theprovince oI Chi­li are extremely pleased aud gratified at the behavior cf tfep American troops to­ward the Chinese: This is considered ao light matter. From all sectipns of thftt portion of the city nnder American su­pervision come words ©f praise, thank­fulness and eommeiidation regarding the behavior df the Americans?.

Mr. Conger, the United States minis­ter, and the other foreign envoys re­ceived a letter signed by Kan# Yu Wei, the well known Cantonese reformer, Vfho •was formerly tn •ulvlscr of Bmperot Kwang Su and who has always been favorable to foreigners. •

Kang Yu Wei- says that great calami­ties have befallen China .through the em­press dowager and also in consequence of her advisers! Prince Tutus, Prince Chlng, Yung La, Yung Li, Chno Shu Chiao, M usas Rvt, Meyn Kuen and Hriong. He says he is thankful that the foreigners held out in the legation build­ings in Peking and that all the Chinese who understand ths law of nations re­gret tho mnrder of Baron von Ketteler.

He then says he desires to maka sug­gestions which “will insure the just pun­ishment of the real culprits, satisfaction to the different countries and a perma­nent settlement of the International' re­lations of China.” He urges:

First.—That the empress and her ad­visers should not be allowed to negotiate the peace.

Second.—That the emperor, who is a friend of foreigners, should be restored.

Third.—That all reactionary officials shoukl be arrested and that a careful watch should be kept ovtr the so1 called friendly viceroys in the south.

Unless,.Yung Lu, Prince Tuan and the others are severely dealt with, Kang Yu Wei Contends, ,they will Continue to say that the foreigners are powerless.

“The foreigners should not rely upon the viceroys-v' continues the Cantonese reformer. “They send men, money snd n; moments to the empress tsnd are her iilicdlent servants. Should the emperor In- restored, the empire would rejoice. Tin- emperor’s party consists of the most enlightened men, who are friendly to for- i"^ncrs and desire to incorporate western c-iviliiptiaa and culture in an ancient country.”

Kang Yu Wei points out that he wa. appointed for the task by a secret edict nf the emperor in 1898 when he made his appeal on behalf of the emperor to the foreign powers, “an appeal which, had they listened, would probably have pre­vented what has happened.”

Sir Claude Accused o f L oo iiac ,BERLIN, Dec. 8.—The Peking' corre­

Home lias arrived in Havana aftc specting the proposed route of the Cen­tra! railroad. The company of which Sir William is the head now owns the line operating between Santiago and San Lu­is and is planning to construct a Hne from Santa Clara to connect with it. the dis­tance being 335 miles. “Our company is making a purchase of a strip of land 41! meters wide along the entire contemplat­ed route,” said Sir William. “The titles are being rapidly passed, and we expect the road to be finished in about 1.8 months. We shall probably employ 5.(100 workmen and are now making arrange­ments to brinj: in Spanish immigrants and their families with a view of coloniz­ing.” _____ __________

BIDDERS PLENTY.Zlnny C om panion W an t to Share In

$80,000,000 rfrvral C on stru ction ,'WASHINGTON, Dec..8.—Never since

the birth of the newjtavy has there beeu such a gathering Bt shipbuilders and metal kings as was assembled in the office of th* secretary of the navy at noon yesterday to witness the opening of bids for an amount of naval construction which Secretary Long denominated as the greatest industrial event this or any t>ther gauntry had ever seen, involving the mcing of contracts for nbout $50,- 000,000. The secretary left the cabinet meeting for the purpose pf presiding at the ceremony. Associated with him were the chiefs of the great naval bureaus, Admiral Hichborn, Admiral Melville, Admiral O’Neill and others. Among the spectators were Henry Scott, G&aries snd Edwin Cramp, Mr. Trigg o h 'tlw Richmond Locomotive works, Presidenl- Morse; Manager Newman gnd John Lind­say of the New York Shipbuilding com­pany, the naw Delaware rivet concern; Manager Clarke of the Miles Tool com­pany, ' Louis NIxor ot tjthe ■ Crescent works;' PresWent Olcott, Judge .Pnysob and Manager Post of the Newport News works, F . O. Wellington and K. T. El- well of tht- For® River works of Massa­chusetts, the Moran Bros, of Seattle, President Taylor, and Mr. Tarbett of the Risdon Shipbuilding company, Joh» Dia­logue of Camden. N. J., ssnd a number of others identified with shipbuilding.

There were eight bidders, snd most of the bids were well within the limit ot cost allowed by congress, for the ships. The notable feature was the attempt on the part of the younger end smaller con-j cems tQ, break the line of the old organ­izations which have constructed all of the heavy vessels of the new navy up to this time.

While it is not possible a t this moment to forecast results accurately there are .indications that in a t least one instance and perhaps two instances these attempts will be attended with some degree of suc­cess, for it looks as though some of the work will be bestowed upon the Fore River company, which appears £pr the first time as m bidder for constructing armored ships.

The Pacific coast, too, presents a likely candidate in tho Morans' bids. Because of changes made in the specifications by the bidders, the general tendency of which is to reduce considerably tlse equip­ment of the ships, it is not possible yet to tell which of tlie bids are actually the lowest.

Secretary Long expressed himself as pleased with the result of the bidding, so far as he could perceive it from the hasty reading of the bids. He felt that on the whole the latter were very liberal.

TRADE CONDITIONS.C onservative ProgrcM G enerally

N oted-A n A dvance In Cereal*.NEW YORK, Dee. 8.—II. G. Dun &

Co.’s weekly review, of trade says:Business is progressing along conserva­

tive lines. It iB without excitement and without great speculative activity, but with a confident undertone which is to be explained largely by the fact that leading concerns in moHt of the great in­dustries have orders booked to employ their, machinery at nearly full capacity during months when curtailment is usual. This situation should quiet fears, of bad shocks such as some previous seasons have seen..

No net reduction in working force has appeared in the last fortnight, and a re­adjustment of wage, schedules in some branches of the steel/trade is effected without trouble. Prices or commodities *re generally steady, a nd holiday trade-is- brisk at all points. The south is partic­ularly cheerful, with cotton firm and the rice crop coming in a t very full prices.

Bank clearings make excellent compari­son, At New York this week the gaia is 21.8 per cent over the same week in 1899 and 45 per cent over 1898., For the lead­ing cities outside New York the gaia is 3 per cent over 1809 and 20 over 1898.

There is no cause for alarm in the small volume of new business at iron and steel centers, With the first sign of higher prices there came forward such a flood o? contracts that mills and furnaces booked orders .sufficient to keep their full force employed for months. Hence there has come a more quiet condition, with less bidding for products.

For the first time, in many weeks the cereals exhibited strength, and some ad­vance was to be expected nfter the ex­tensive deeliue. Wheat was.started -up­ward by foreign markets, and prompt re­sponse here compelled covering ot con- "troctsr Greater tfti-ength wns sh

which brought out receipts of 4,009,- 100 bushels against 3,450,772 last year, but foreign buying was brisk even at quo­tations 7 cents higher than last year, At­lantic exports for the week aggregating ti,330,710 bushels against 3,703,273 in 1890.

Failures for the week were 287 in tlie United States against 221 last year and 25 in Canada against 33 last year. r

The Steinbach stores are all bustle and excitement €hese ante-Christmas days. Holiday goods galore greet you at every turn and new consignments, are arriving by every express. Such a showing of gift goods was never before attempted in Asbury Park, so you cannot imagine what the display will look like when the last case has been unpacked and the last bundle opened. We; hope to have all the Christmas goods in place this week, but already the stock is larger than ever, so you can come in at any time and do your Yule-tide shopping.

The featuring of the Christmas stock means that the regular departments must be turned topsy-turvy in order to make room for the new arrivals. Plan as best we can, the necessary show space cannot be had. so it has been decreed that another price-pruning on the Dress Goods, the Clothing^ the Cloaks, the Notions and ill the other staple goods be made at once. In this way we hope to gain mpre room for Christmas selling, for the new goods must be properly displayed. • You know all about the always low prices at our stores* so this price-pruning announcement means money saved for Christnfias gifts to those wise enough to take advantage of our cramped-for-room dilemma.

The special pricing on the crowded-out goods goes into effect immediately^ so “ the early bird and the worm story” should be borne in mind by those look ing for unusual values. " : ,. - " / ■ - r-Usr The Christmas tableau m the show window of the Ocean Palace will be readyjthis week* The display at the Mammoth will be on exhibition early next week.
