OBJECTING TO THE SEWER.-A COMPLAINT TO THE STATE

. SEWER COMMISSIONERS.

A Charge That the River is Being InJurcd-A Visit to Be Made to RedBank To-Morrow to View theRiver and the 8etvpr Outlet.Last Saturday a petition was presented

to the state board of sewerage eommis--sioriers, asking them to stop the town ofRed Bank from sewering into theShrewsbury river. The petition hadabout 125 signers. About a dozen resi-dents of Red Bank signed the petition,

• and most of' the summer residents alongthe river were also among the signers.Nearly one-half of. the signers weremade up of residents of -Fair Haven.Several persons signed the petition twice.

. This double signature was probably dueto the fact that several petitions hadbeen circulated for signatures.

The petition and the signatures to itare as follows^: i

To. the State Sewerage Commission of New Jer-sey r'- • . ' • • - . " .

The undersigned, residing ID tbe village of RedBank, N. J,, and upon ana soar the banks of tbeNaveslnk or NorthSbrewsourrrlver In ItsImrnedl-ato vicinity, beg to call your attention to tbe facttbattne rillacje of Red Bank'Is polluting and per-mlttlDg the pollution of the waters of tbe said riverSowing past tbe said village, and tbe property, ofyour petitioners to the Atlantic ocean, such pollu-tion being to the injury of your petitioners in tbeirhealth, comfort and property. *•

Tbe pollution ol the river has proceeded to suchan extent tuat the waters emit an offensive odor:they are discolored aud tilled with Coating paper,animal and other objectionable sewage matter.The tides carry and deposit upon .the Bbores (of tbe

• river at tbe property of some of your petitioners of-fensive matter proceeding from these sewers. It isnot only unpleasant but unsafe to bathe ID tbeWafers of this river, which your petitioners hereto-fore have been able to do. This action ol tbe vil-lage puts at a risk tbe health and lives of your petl-

- - tlonere and their families, and there is danger of anepidemic of disease being produced thereby. This.sewering Into the river Dy the village of Red Bankrenders it also dangerous to use fish, oysters or crabstaken from tbe said river, Tbe property of yourpetitioners Is in danger of becoming untenantableand having its valuedesiroyed.

four petitioners have heretofore protested to theauthorities of said village against the use of thewaters ot the said river as a cesspool, representingto them tbe dangers therefrom, and the authoritiesnave stated that such use was but a temporary one,looking to the obtalntnent by tbe village of en un-objectionable and a permanent system for the dis-posal of its sewage matter. But a* long time-has•elapsed since such statement was made, and thevillage authorities are not only continuing to usetbe said waters in the objectionable) way, but seemto propose to adopt the present system as a perma-nent system by arranging for the use of the sewersexisting In the village to a greater extent than atpresent by the inoabltante thereof. The conditioncalls for attention by your honorable body, and werespectfully request that such 'action may bepromptly bad and token.Fred W.Hope, • O.A.Ubaire.J. L. Terhune, Allen Tucker,-'

. Abo Bennott,Tlie state sewerage commissioners will

pay a visit to Red Bank to-morrow after-nooh rind will inspect the sewer outletand viow the river. Under the revisednewer law, as passed last winter, thoflewertige coininissioriora have tho rightto order a change in the methods of sew-ago disposal in any town, city or town-Hhip.in tho state. If tho municipality inwhich tlioy interfere is not satisfied withtho dooialon of tho soworago commie-

\ slonere, the municipality hits tho rightof'appeal to tho courts. Tho aoweragocommissioners, in caeca where a munic-ipality has adopted a certain mothod ofoowngo diHpOBal, cannot order thatmethod discontinued utoncc, but mustallow a romionablo time to mnko changes'in tho plan of nowago diH[)oaal. Tholongest time thut enn l>o allowod to acity or municipality to.make a ohunge' in Its mothod ot sewage disposal la five..yi'ftrtj. Tho ttoworngo commissioners can

compel a change to be made in one yearif they consider it wise to give such anorder.

Most of the people who live along theriver sewer directly into the river. It isclaimed that under recent decisions ofthe court of errors arid appeals of NewJersey a man who owns property on theriver can sewer directly into the river.The sewerage commissioners, however,have the power to stop any person fromsewering into the river, if they deemthat course advisable, JBefore they canact a complaint must be made and itmust be shown that such'sewering intothe river is productive of damage, '

WAI. BULLOCK ESCAPES.DUO OUT OF JAIL LAST THURS-

DAY NIGHT.

An Iron Skewer Enabled STim tonta Through tlie Floor of BisCell Into a Passage it'av and theRest Was JEasu- ]William Bullock, who shot and killed

James Walshr last November, and whowas confined.in the bpuri ft

of his cell last Thursday night and es-caped. He hasnotantebeenheardfrom,though a reward of $500 has been offeredfor. bis capture, ji . •

Bullock was confined in a cell on theground floor of the jail. Part of his cellwas over an ^underground passage way,in which were the wafer, sewer and gaspipes. The passage yay had been builtin order to make it ieasy to get;1at thepipes to make changes or.to:'repairleaks. This passage jtay was not generr•ally known, though tnere was no secretfabout its construction. The floor of thecell over the pas3age':way was of brick,and the cell floor was covered with a thincoating1 of cement. ? Bullock in someway had learned^fehai this passage-wayexisted; and he had also learned its exactlocation, for the hole :Ee had made inhis cell led directly into it. He had se-cured an, iron skewef, and with this hehad chipped off the coating of cement.When he had goY through the cementit was an easy matter to remove thebricks and: make an'entrance into thepassage way. '

It is believed that: Bullock had helpfrom outside the jail, for a hole hadbeen dug at the end ,0f the passage waywhich led into the jsjil yard. This dirtat the entrance of this hole indicatedthat it had been dug from without andnot from* within. A ; high board fencesurrounds tha, jail yard. The jail yardgate is not as high as-the fence and thiscould readily be scaled. There weremarks on the gate which showed thatBullock had got out''by climbing overthe gate. After leaving the jail yardall trace of Bullock was lost.

Searching • parties secured the woodsand fields near Freehold, but nothingcould be found which could show theroute he had taken. ;3f he had outsidehelp in his escape;*biff"hssistants proba-bly had a wagon at hand in which togive him a good start on his way towardfreedom. Many rumors have been afloatto the effect that he had been seen invarious places, but investigation provedthese rumors to be without foundation.Reports have also been.many, declaringthat he had been captured, but these re-ports, like those declaring that he hadbeen seen, had no basis in fact'. On Sun-day it was positively announced that hehad been caught near Philadelphia, butinquiry proved that Bullock had notbeen, seen nor heard of there. Yester-day it was said that Bullock had beenseen near Lakewood, and a number ofofficers went there, but their search waswithout results.

An odd incident happened in Red Bankon the night Bullock esoaped. J. FrankPatterson is the night marshal. Aboutthree o'clock in the morning he wastalking to W. H. Hamilton in front ofthe Sheridan hotel when a colored manwent to(the fountain and took a drink.He had evidently been walking a longdistance over the dusty roads, for hebathed his face and hands in the foun-tain. On seeing the man Mr. Pattersonremarked to Mr. Hamilton: *

"If I were not sure that Bullock wassafe in the county jail I would say thatthat man over there was Bullock."

Jack White, the night watchman, alsosaw this colored man, but he Bays he didnot think it looked anything like Bul-lock." ,

Bullock has been tried threo times forthe killing of James Walsh. He wastwice convicted of murder in tho firstdegree and sentenced to bo hanged.Each time the trial was upset by the.higher courts on thd ground that therehlid been errors in the cuso. In one ofthe Bullock trials the jury disagreed.

Bullock would have been again triedfor'inurder at tho coming, term of courtif ho had not escaped.

The spectators were kept waiting un-til eleven o'clock for the cake walking tobegin. In the meantime a musical trioplayed selections and sang coon eongs,The participants' had a good time danc-ing but the spectators grew impatientover the. long delay in starting the mainattraction of the affair. The delay WBBoccasioned principally by the fact thatthe walkerB had not selected their part-ners, with whom they were to walk inthe event. ' .

Seven couples competed for the prize.The judges decided that Mrs. RosaBich-ardscm and George Brown of Bed Bankand Miss Mary Lang and Albert Richard-son of Keyport were the two best couplesand requested these two couples to walkagain to decide between first and secondprizes. The judges decided in favor ofthe Red Bank couple and they got a sil-ver water pitcher and tray and a glasstea set as.prizes. The Keyport couplegot a gentleman's dressing case and aglass candle holder as second prizes. .'

Some of the men at the cake walk•wore fall dress, some -wore shirt waistsand others wore ordinary suits. Oneman danced in a bicycle suit and anotherdanced in a sweater. The dresses, rib-bons and " fixings " worn by the womenafforded a greater variety of color thancan ordinarily be found in the ribboncase of a dry goods store.

Sweeney ona day's outing'last Friday on his yacht.A landing was made at Sandy Hook andeach member of the party gatheredabout a peach basket of beach plums.A trip out to,sea was made and on thereturn trip a landing was rSade nearSpermaceti coye for a clambake.

While the clams were being eatensomething was noticed flopping in thewater a short distance away. It lookedlike the flange of a screw propellor. Acloser inspection revealed a big shark.Captain Haviland and Wallace Bennettput off a row boat, hoping to scare theshark ashore. The'shark made for deepwater but Captain Haviland hit it acouple of blows with an oar before it gotaway. Ho said that the effect was aboutthe same as though he had struok theoar on a rock. To those on shore theshark looked to be about severl or eightfeet long and about as big around as aman's body. Captain Haviland says itwas twelve feet long and as big aroundas a cow.

The sailing party had plenty to eatand drink on board, the weather condi-tions were favorable, and the day wasvery pleasantly spent.

, OLD STAGE EFFEQTSr '

Scenes That Used to Thrill Audi-'t encea Years Ado.*' "Great Soott, how a modern audi-

ence would gibe at tbe stage effectsthat used to thrill folks thirty or soyears agoP said aa old theatrical man-ager who was. in the city recently earoute 'to Frisco. "Take the famous•wolf scene in 'Davy Crockett,' for in-

• stance, that made a fortune for dear•old Frank Mayo. That was consid-ered one of the most realistic things ofIts day, and It stirred audiences to ab-solutely frantic excitement You re-

. member how it went: Davy and the.heroine have taken refuge in'a moun-tain cabin, and suddenly they hear

• si long -/drawn wall — Ow-o-o-o-o!Ow-o-o-o-oo! It sounded yice a tom-•cat on a moonlit fence and was emitted

1 fby the 'prop' man, standing in thewings. Davy springs to bis feet. Helistens with his band to his ear. The•orchestra plays tremolo. 'The wolves!'Jie cries, and the house begins to boldits breath.

"Meanwhllo the prop man puts on: more steam. The beasts are nearlng.

Davy glares around .distractedly,. Mer-•••clful heyingsl He has burned up the- door bar for fuel! The prop1 man

howls at the top of his voice. Davydashes up hts sleeve. He springs tothe door, rams his bare arm through

-the' empty staples, and two stuffed•^olves' heads are poked suddenlythrough a hole at the bottom I Then

• the curtain drops, there Is more tremo-lo, and It'rises again to discover Davyfainting at the portal with a couple ofstreaks of red paint around his goodright arm to show where the staples

:plnched. That scene would excite de-rision* today, but it kept the wolf from!Mayo's own door for many'a long year.Incidentally It was responsible for.

• some ludicrous mishaps. '"On one • occasion, while touring

•through Iowa, the special scenery was>. delayed by a railroad wreck and a localr stage carpenter •undertook to 'fake up'

the cabin interior. By some mistakehe made the staples several Inches tooemail, and when Mayo, who wasrather portly, rushed to the rescue he•was horrified to discover that he cojildnot get his arm through the Irons. Hepushed and squirmed and. sweat blood,but it was no go, and as the wolveswere supposed to be advancing on adead lope the situation was decidedlycritical! It so happened, that the

-.actress who played the heroine thatseason was very spirituelle, not to sayscrawny, and while ^poor Davy wasstill wriggling at the door some gallery

. god suddenly piped out: 'Break away,fatty, and let de lady try!' The audt-

•once roared and Mayo signaled for aquick curtain. - -_--••

"Fire effects are regarded with dis-favor nowadays;" continued the man-ager, "because if too realistic they are

. apt to create a panic In a crowded thea-ter, but in the old melodramas therewas no danger of mistaking them forthe real thing, and they were greatdrawing cards.' Back ia the earlyseventies Joe Murphy, the Irish come-dian, toured the country in a playcalled 'Help,' ^whlch contained a flrcscene that was regarded as the mostremarkable ever produced on the road.

"The curtain rose on a barnllke in-terior, supposed to represent an opium•den in San Franclscor Presently aChinaman passed an open door In theback, carrying a lamp, and a momentlater a crash was heard, indicating thathe had dropped It A red glow Imme-diately came through the chinks In therear.wall and grew rapidly brighterand brighter, while there was a Soundof excited footsteps, lndlBtlnct shoutingand furnlture'bemg dragged across thefloor. All that, occurring out of sight,worked the audience to a high pitch ofnervous tension. Then smoke beganto ooze through * the cracks, the redglow continued to increase, and all ofa sudden the entire back w&U totteredand sank forward on the stage, dis-closing a dim- perspective, with flamesshooting up here and there and firemenrushing pellmell in every direction.- "That spectacle created a tremendoussensation wherever it was' put on, yetthe entire effect was produced by afew shovelfuls of red fire burned inthe wings and a little lycopodlum pow-der, which flashes into a big, harmlessblaze and was concealed In tin boxesattached to different parts of the set-ting. The back wall was let down ona couple'of piano wires, which used toget stuck occasionally and suspend Itin midair. There was a celebrated flrescene In Ohanfrau's play of *Mose,' butit was admitted to bo inferior to theonel have described, and the cruditiesof both ore very laughable when com-pared to modern attempts along thosame lino. •' ,' • .

"The last thing of that kind I saw wasin'London a few years ago, It repre-sented the burning of a tonement.Smoke and flames poured oat of .thocascmonts; linmonso beams crasheddown, scattering showers of sparks;walls crumbled, poc-plo leaped from tho

.windows and were caught in note, andfiremen sent streams of real water ln-

, to the blazing rulna. As I watched thomimic conflagration my mind revertedto the days of Ouanfrau and Murphy,and I Btnolo wovoral smllcfl a yitrd widorfnd all teeth."

" I WIN" AMD "I liOSE."

Sporting BLen Ignore Their Tensesand Seem Pleased.

'Have you ever noticed the satisfiedmanner of gamblers While twistingtheir tenses into the 'I win' and Tlose"common to the fraternity?" remarked1

a man who has a fowlness for Investi-gating the peculiarities of hie fello'ws."I hove thought of that for a longtime—ever since that form of expres-sion came Into common use. amonggamblers. Watch the first' sport youhear talking in .that style and noticethe pleasure he seems to take In roll-ing hie method of expression. Thetense-he uses evidently carries himback, and he enjoys again In the pres-ent the pleasures of the act when hespeaks of i t Even if he says he 'lose*It gives him gratification, according tothe philosophy of Charles Fox, who Isauthority for the, statement that thegreatest pleasure in the world, next towinning money, is to-lose i t

The ungrammatlcal fashion amonggamblers dates back about 13 years.It seems impossible to conceive anyreason for the custom other than theone I have mentioned. That form ofspeech Is still growing in popularity.Th« so called.'sporting men' have ex*,tended the scope of the presenttense toall their verbs. It jare on me some-times, but even then I find consolationn the knowledge that If the 'sports'

did not affect that particular style ofspeech 95 in 100 of them would do evenworse, and their present picturesquedefiance of grammar is a relief fromthe possibilities of such expressions as'I seen1 and 'I done.'" ;

HAM SMELLING A BUSINESS.

Peculiar Occupation For WhichOnly a Few are Qualified:

The ham smeller's only tools are along steel trier and his nose. He standsin a barrel to keep his clothes from be-ing soiled by the dripping brine, andthe hams are brought to him, and heplunges his sharp pointed trier intothem, withdraws it and passes it swift-ly beneath his nose. The trier alwaysgoes d6wn to the knuckle Joint

In testing meat in that manner theman with the trier Judges by the slight-est shade of difference between thesmell of one piece of meat and anoth-er. The smell of the meat is almostuniversally sweet, and that is what besmells. The slightest taint or devia-tion from the sweet smell is thereforeappreciable. It is not the degree oftaint that he expects to find, but theslightest odor that Is not sweet

When he defects an odor, be throwsthe meat aside, and if It Is not un-wholesome It is sold as "rejected"meat, but if It is tainted tt goes to therendering tank. The ham tester smellsmeat from 7 o'clock In the morning un-til 5 o'clock at night, and his sensemust never become Jaded or Inexact orhis usefulness would be at an end.

Ham testing'is not a pursuit danger-,ous to the health, as tea testing Is sup-posed to be, but the ham smeller witha cold In his head Is like a piano playerwho loses his arm in a railroad wreck.

A Test of Accuracy.Drawing from memory Is one of the

moat difficult things In the world to do.Even professional artists find that theymust rely largely upon basty Jottings.made upon the spot as suggestions fortheir pictures. Those who are not art-ists need to look keenly, and closely atwhat they wish to recollect, for theymust depend upon their memory tobring details back to them. It is an ex-cellent corrective of superficial observa-tion to sketch a scene as we think wesaw,it and afterward return to thescene and take another view. It is atraining both In accuracy and humil-ity, for we learn how easy it Is to de-ceive ourselves as to what we haveremarked-

She Got a New Fair. -Sarcasticus and his wife were going

to the theater."Will you please go .in and get. my

goats off tbe dressing table?' said Mrs.8. ;.. - . . . .

''Ypiir goats?" queried tbe puzzledSarcasticus. "What fangle have youwomen got now?"

"I'll Bhow you!" snapped the wife,and she sailed away and soon returnedputting on her gloves.

"Are those what you mean? Why, Icall those klda,"

"I UBed to," replied Mrs. Sarcastlcus,-"but they are getting so old I amashamed to any longer."

He took the hint-

STICK TO SIMPLE FOOD.

The Ameribati Business Stan's PaceDemands Easily MHgested lOtahes.

"There was In the old days for lesswear and teat upon the. nerves, and,under such conditions, digestion wasmore completely performed," writesMrs. S.' T. Borer of "Why I Am Op-posed to Ptas," In The Ladles' HomeJournal. T h e mothers of today mustlook more carefully to the building oftheir bodies and brains than theirmothers and grandmothers did. In-deed at the pace at which we Ameri-cans are going we use our brains atfull speed nearly all the time., Whatman can build brain and brawn onpies, lnyer cakes or preserves or anyother mass of material which from itsvery complexity requires labor andtime for digestion, drawing the bloodfrom the brain to the stomach duringhis working hours? Observe those whoeat their complex foods carelessly andhastily and you will see at a glancethe conditions that necessitate a'com-plete reet every now and then, or onearly nervous breakdown.

"In my close observation In tbe last20 years I find very few people in ourcommon struggle for existence who canfor any length of thne eat carelessly ofcomplex foods. At 40 or 50 a maa mayperhaps have accumulated wealth, butnot health, and o€ what earthly use Isthe flrat wtthout the second? Manypersons to the generation gone beforehave eaten pies at least once a day,but they have-not had meat three timesa day, nor have they rushed at ourpace. .They gave more tlnie to the di-gestion of the pte. People who recom-mend these rich foods rarely know any-thing of their complex conditions andstill less of the complexity of diges-tion."

Economy."What's this?" exclaimed tho young

husband, referring to the raomornndumsho had given him. ** "One dozen eggs,one pound of rnlslna. a bottle of lemonextract, a tin of ground cinnamon andhalf a pound of sugar— what do .youwant with all these things, Belinda?"

THE COLLAR BUTTON.

Its Blessings Realised Only by TlioseTF7to Have Lived Without It, ' ~

"In looking over a trunk .full of oldtruck the other day,".said the elderlyown, "I came across a lot of old shirts'nith the buttons sewed on, and as Ilooked at them 1 realized anew whatthe collar button means to humanity.There . have been greater Inventions,surely, but not many that have con-ferred a more unmixed blessing onmankind.

"The younger person of today, ac-customed to the collar button always,cannot realize what It was to be with-,out It He can never know what ttwas to have shirts' with the 'buttonssewed on—or hot, as the case mightbe. Not so very many years ago, whenthe collar button was yet comparative-ly new, before persons had come tokeep, as everybody commonly doesnow, a lot of buttons on hand, the manwho had lost his collar button thoughthimself entitled to the sympathy of hisfellows, but wrung as he might be bythat loss *e could -not even guess atthe anguish that in the sewed on but-ton days filled the heart of the manwho, when-he came to put on his lastclean shirt, found that key button, theone on the collar bond, most Importantone of all, gone entirely or only justhanging by a thread I "

"I knew a man once who had thishappen to htm and didnt swear. Thatwas the only great thing he ever did,but I have always thought that thatalone was enough to stamp'him as amost extraordinary man."-"~ "" '"

Baldness.It bos been found on study of 800

cases of loss of hair that baldness pre-vails most with unmarried men, whichIs contrary to the general belief. Theworries of the bachelor may be fewer,but they are more trying to the scalpthan are the multitudinous cares ofthe man of family. Most bald peopleare found to lead Indoor lives, and al-most all of them belong to the intel-lectual class. Usually the loss of hairbegins before the thirtieth, year. Inwoman it usually constitutes a gen-eral thinning; in men it affects the topof the bead. Diseases that affect thegeneral nutrition of .the body are like-ly to thin the hair. Heredity is afactor. If one has baldheaded ancestors, all the drugs of the pbarmaeopteia will not bring out flowing locks.

Four to One.

An English officer in Malta stoppedin riding to' ask, a native the way. Hewas answered by a. shrug of the shoul-ders and a "No speak English."

"You're a fool then," said the officer.But the man know enough English to

ask: . '"Do you understand Maltese?""No.""Do you know Arabic?""No." \i*t(i"Do you know Italian?" . ^ j i ^"No." . . '"su"*!,:"Do you know Greek?""No.""Then you four foolB. I only one!"

Without the third,nothing can bo well done, and withouttho fourth opportunities of great ad-vantage ore lost, which It la lmpoa<elblo to recall.

NIGHTMARE.

The Sensation TJiatAltcays Slakesa Stan a Coward.

"Strange that we are always so cow-ardly in nightmares," remarked a NewOrleans lawyer who has a taste forthe bizarre, "I dont believe anybodyever Irred who stood up and made asquare stand against the amorphoushorror that invariably pursues us insuch visions. When I have a night-mare and tbe usual monster gets onmy trail, my blood turns to water, andmy conduct would disgrace a sheep. Iam beside myself with stark, down-right fear, and I have no idea left inrny head except to run like a rabbit.All pride, self respect dread of ridiculeand even the Instinct of self defenseare' scattered to the winds, and I be-lieve, honestly, I would be capable ofany infamy in ortler to escape. I haveno hesitation• In confessing this, be-cause, as far as I have been able tofind out, everybody acts exactly thesame way in the throes of nightmare,and I feel certain I would not makesuch a pitiable spectacle of myself inreal life, no matter what might befall.

1 think that the explanation! of thenightmare panic is to be found In thefact" that the dream Is almost tnvari-aMy accompanied by a seaee of suffo-cation. Jt is' Well established thatchoking—the *Bhuttlng off of one'swind,' to use a homely phrase—has aneffect upon tbe mind which Is entirelydistinct and different from.that pro-duced by any other rorm of pain orperil. It fills the victim with such hor-ror and distraction that he Is for tbemoment insane. He will do anythingto get relief. This has been broughtout on more than one occasion In thedefense of men who have been chokedand killed their assailants, and. Judgeshave held > that tbe circumstances ofsuch an attack should he ghren specialconsideration as extenuating the deed.In dreams the entire nervous system isrelaxed, and it is natural to supposethat the mental effect of suffocationwould be intensified. At least, that isthe beBt apology I have to offer for mysprints through nightmare land."

WEDNESDAY,' SEPTEMBER 13, 1900.

Mr. Howell Re-Nominated.Last Wednesday Benjamin F. Howell

was nominated by the Republicans foranother term in congress from this dis-trict., Mr. How«?H has always voted•with his party on party measures, buthis aim has been to represent his districtfaithfully without taking politics intospecial consideration. Democrats aswell as Republicans have found in Mr.Howell a representative who w.as anx-ious to do for his district whatever couldbe done to advance its interests. -

For this reason many Democrats makeno secret of their preference for Mr.Howell over any Democrat that can benamed. They will support him heartilybecause they have found in him a friend.Mr. Howell's labors .have "been who'lyirrespective of the question of the politi-cal preferences of those who wished hisoi&cial assistance in carrying through

.legislation intended to benefit any. partof the district. The uniform courtesyand the unfailing attention which Mr.fiOvVeli- has given to those who havehad official business with him havegiven him a popularity in the districtwbioh few congressmen have possessed.

Every indication points to the electionof Mr. Howell. It is doubtful if there isin the whole district one Republicanwho will vote against him. It is certainthat hundreds of Democrats will votefor him. His reflection will keep inoffice an official whose work has meritedsuch a recognition.

TOWN TALK.

For a presidential :year politics'isvery quiet. Around here it seems to betaken for granted by both sides that notight is to be made in Monmouth by theDemocrats. About half the Democrats Ihave mot say that McKinley is sure tocarry the county. The other half don'tsay anything. They probably think so,too, but they don't like to say that theythink so, for fear, if their sayings shouldbe repeated, that they, might IOBB castewith their party.

• • • • • • ' . « * • . . • , . .

Occasionally, however, one meets aDemocrat who is full of enthusiam forhis party and who actually believes thatBryan is going to win. These men aremet with very seldom, but without thempolitics would be a dreary, monotonouswaste this year. They are the only,people who. put any change whatever in-to tbe political landscape. The Repub-licans and nine-tenths.of the Democratsfeel so certain that McKinley has'^gota walkover, especially in this state ofNew, Jersey, that they don't think it'sworth while to talk about it.

< j . . • . ; • • • ' . # # # •

Everyone concedes,' of oourse, thatMcKinley won't get the vote he got in1896 in'Monmouth. Fred Frick tells methat lie has heard about .twenty farmersflay in the Sheridan hotel that theyvoted for McKinley in 1896, but thatthey are going yft> vote for Bryan this

, The Sheridan hotel is the stamp-ing ground of local politicians, and morepolitics is heard there than in any otherp]apeinRed Bank,. Men from many^fthe near-by townships are seen thereevery day) and the tWeftty men whofiald they had dbanged their rotes proba-bly represented four or five townships.McKinley can lose a great many timestwenty votes and yet have a very largemajority in the county. '

• » *

Down at Long Branch it is said thatthe Germans among the laboring menare going to change to Bryan this falland that the Italians, of whom thereare many in Ocean township, will alsobe for Bryan this year, although boththese classes of voters were for McKin-.ley in 1806. The well-to-do Germans atLong Branch' are principally for McKin-ley. Thia condition is said to exist inother parts of the county. Most of thesevoters, however, are said to be naturallyDemocrats, who are now simply return-ing to their party. A prominent Demo-Tat of Freehold stated the other day

that about half .of. the Democrats in thatsection of the county who voted for Mc-Kinley four years ago would vote forBryan thia year, and he- estimated-thatMcKinley would carry the county byabout 900. This is about the estimatewhich most-Democratic politicians givewhen they are not talking for publica-tion.

Allenhurst people are doing the rightthing by their town. This town is anew borough. a short distance north ofAsbury Park. The town is being laidout on a liberal scale, and on Saturdaynight, at a meeting of the propertyowners of the place, it was decided torecommend to the borough authoritiesthat they purchase the entire oceanfront. This will give to the town theaaino now built, the swimming pool,

and, the other improvements on thebeach front,

* * *The entire beach front, including the

improvements,, can now be bought for§75,000. In a few years it will be worthfour or five timeB as much as it is now.The Allenhurst people are wise in buy-ing the property before it reaches anenormous figure, although such proper-ties had better be bought for the public,even at enormous figures, than not tobe owned by the public at all.

* * » - . 'The ocean ought to be free to the

people of a town which borders on it.It ought to be free to everybody, in fact.Bat ia order that this should be so thepublic should own the water front.While the ocean may be really free, it isactually not free if there is no way ofgetting to itf The state of New Jersey,through the operation of tho riparianlaw, has sold to private individuals thewater front of its rivers and sea, thuspractically depriving tho people of thestate from tho use and enjoyment of thepublic waters; since if there is no wayof getting to the publio waters exceptover private land, there ore few whocan enjoy thorn, •

• • *Every town ought to follow tho lead

of Allonhurflt in this matter, It will costa good deal of inonoy to get theuo ri parlunlands back, but they ought to be gotback at whatever coat. Tho rightful wnyof doing it would be to pass Iv law, ap-propriating tho property for publio UBO,und allowing each community to pnyback to the privnto individuals whonow own'lt whatever they may havepaid, In addition to tho coot of whateverimprovomontB they may have put on it,If BUOII property JH not noedod by,tholml>Ho> andJt,fo flooded forjwiyatp.uao,'tlio p'ropci1imitliodWduid' bo"toloiiao it

for a term of years. In this way itwould be kept jn possession of the pub-lic, and the public would get an incomefrom itduringthe time it was in privatehands. . " • •

_, - *_ # « » ,I should like to see Red Bank begin

the operation; of getting back its' riverfront into, public possession,, A- begin-ning should be made by getting into pub-lic. ownership the lands fronting onevery street. This would of itself givethe public free access to the river. Atthe present time, although there are anumber of streets that run to the river,there are only two or three where the•water frontof the street is owned by thepublic. I believe that the: entire riverfront should be owned by-the publio,and I further believe that1 some day, a'good many years hence, maybe, the en-tire river, front will get back into publicpossession, .

- . ' * . . # # • # ' '

It no doubt was a scheme on the partof the corporations who wanted togobble up stretches of the public waterfronts, when they had the law passeddeclaring that all money raised by thesale of riparian lands should go into thepublic school, fund. They figured outthat no legislator would like to opposetheir scheme, because if he did theycould make an outcry against him andcould declare tjiat he was opposed to thepublic . schools. Such an outcry hasbeen raised every'iJme any effort, how-ever slight, has been made toward get-ting back; these lands into public pos-session. But if, instead of selling theselands at a few Cents per foot front, thewater fronts had been leased and the'money thus obtained put into the public•school fund, that fund would, now be agreat deal larger than it is, the publicwould have retained possession, and theland could be jused for publio purposes,if it were BO needed, at the expiration ofany lea.se.

Habit in a Horse's' Work."When I retired from the contract-

Ing business a short time ago," said awell known man, "I had a number ofhorses that I was anxious to disposeof. Among them was one named Jer-ry, which for several years had beenused, to working on a drum. In suchwork a horse becomes accustomed tolifting his feet high to avoid strikingthe hoisting ropes. When the horses'were put under the hammer, Jerrywent to a Harlem grocer.

"About a week later the purchaserof Jerry called at my house and toldme that he had a lot of trouble withthe horse. He said that'Jerry wouldgo a short distance, when he' wouldstop short and lift his feet high, andafter doing this would go a little far-ther, only to repeat it again. I told thegrocer why the horse stopped shortand lifted his feet and also advisedhim to look up some contractor andsell the animal to him for hoisting pur-poses. He did so, notifying me that hereceived a larger pric§_than he no idme for the horse." • ' . ~~"~':

How He Got It. . .In- one of Chauncey M. Depew's

stories he told of meeting a man asfunny as himself. •• "One day," said Mr. Depew, "I met

a soldier who had been wounded In theface. • Ho was a Union man, and Iasked him In which battle he hod beenInjured. *

" 'In the last battle of Bull Run, sir,'he replied.

"'But how could you get hit In theface at Bull Run? I asked.

" 'Well, sir,' said the man, half apol-ogetically, 'after I had ran a mile or.two I got careless and looked back.'"

RED BANK LOTS SOLD.FIVE PROPERTIES CHANGED

HANDS XiAST WEEK.

A Residence Bought Bu Dr. W. C.Attimtrona—Sale of two lots onPeters Place- General John Slice-han Sells a Lot on Beach Street,A number of lots in Red Bank have

teen sold during the past week. Themost important of these sales was thepurchase of the Hoenemann house andlot On Wallace street by Dr. W. C, Arm-strong. When Dr. J . E. Sayre sold his

, Broad street property to the Mercantilebank he moved his house to the rear ofthe lot and fronted it on Wallace street.He practically rebuilt the house, andsoon after the work was completed hesold it to. Prof. W. B. Hoenemann, who'•was then principal of the Oakland streetschool. Mr. Hoenemann occupied thehouse for a tittle. A couple of years agohe got a position in Newark and he hasmoved there. His house and lot wereoffered for sale and last Saturday it wasbought by Dr. W. C. Armstrong for$8,500. Dr. Armstrong will occupy the- house as a residence and office. The lothas a frontage of 46 feet on Wallacestreet, it is 55 feet wide in the rear, andit is 75 feet deep. The sale was tnadabyTheodore F. White. '

After the first sale of lots in a new lo-cality, and the knowledge that a fineclass of houses will be built there, pricesalways go up. This has proved to.bethe case with the lots on Peters place.When this street was first opened, lotssold at $1,000 each, A number of. fineresidences will be built this fall, and theprices of the lots remaining unsold haretfeen put up, The lots which were firstsold are. also held at increased figures.The first lot on this street to be resold isthat owned by George F. Norman, whobought one of the lots on the Peterstract. He paid $1,000 for it. Last weekit was sold by Theodore F. White toHerman Koch of Shrewsbury avenuefor $1,200. This is $200 more than Mr.Norman paid for it, but he pays thisyear's taxes, the cost of conveyancing,etc., and the-interest on the purchasemoney also forms an item of expense;but his profit on the transaction will beabove $100i Mrs. Heitaan Koch,- whobought a lot oh' Peters^>lace some timeago,, contemplates building a doublehouse that will cast about $4,000 on herlot. •' . " ' - • • ' •

Mr. White has also gold a lot-on theSchroeder tract' on Peters place to MissMinnie Cooper, daughter of the late

•• George F. Cooper of Front street. MissCooper pays $1,200 for the. lot and shewill build a residence' on the property. .

When the sale of ,the^ Duffy propertyin Texas took place several months agoGeneral John Sheehan bought five lotson Beach street, The lots were about50 f-<et front and they- were all in oneplot. Mr. Sheehan paid $80 each forsome of the lots and $75 each- for theothers. He has rearranged the' lines 6fthe lots and has made six lots out of theplot. Last week he sold one of theselots, 40x128i feet, to Mrs. Laura E.Davis, wife of Ivins Davis of Red Bank,for $150. Mrs. Davis will build a houseon the lot which she will occupy as aresidence.

The Broadmeadow house and lot onWest Front street, between Bridge ave-nue and the Southern railroad, has beensold to Mrs. Mary M, Brown, who nowlives on a farm at Newman Springs, ad-joining the Ridgwny place. The lot isCOxlOO feet. The house contains seven1'rooms. The price paid was $975. Mrs.Brown bought the property as an invest-ment, The sale was made by FrancisA. White.

Still it is notalways possible to have a mantel In everyroom of the house, for. the regular mantelmeans a chimney as weil, and it is onlythe superior class of modern bouseswhich are supplied with open fireplacesin every room. It is an added expensewhich many feel they must do withouteven when building a1 new house, or theremay not be a chimney convenient, and anextra chimney.' means extra money, andthis perhaps is the reason why manteldealers keep on hand- a good stock ofor-nameotal shelves with mirror* and cabi-nets for decorating walls.-'

The Kitchen.The possible, ideal and already existing

kitchen has a hard wood floor and round-ed cornera, and .the walls are white tiledfive feet op and either soapstone, plasterfinished or enamel painted on up to theceiling, says the Philadelphia Press. Buffis tiie best tone to use. The windows ofa kitchen should run. up almost to theceiling to allow the hot vapors ot .cook-ing; to escape.

*"7 "Jt payo to advortioo In THE

. Points In Building1.One rule follow In choosing your plan

and building—have a square hall andflights of stairs; with right angle' turns.There can be no diversity of opinion onthis point •' Have no straight, stairs andno winding: ones; Waiiiscot the wallson. the staircase,1 .of the handling oftrunks and furniture will scar and marit' so that repairs will cost more tljanWould the original proper building. . .

Have jour- bqiler,; coil or tank "wrap-ped." That 'means,' have it plastered Inafter the new method by a nonconduct-ing plaster, nnd keep the heat in. You'llalways'have hot water- if you do.-

Concerning Hedegs.Dp away i with . fences. • Establish n

hedge. Avoid tbe: osage ordnge, as itaro6ts stretch out wildly, robbing the lawnof nutrition. The hemlock and spruce iotew instances are successful, too fre-quently the undergrowth dyifig out. Se-lect the California privet, rapid ingrowth and obedient to the hedge cut-ter's shears. The privet hedge is beauti-ful In summer time, but the charm of thogreen and violet mass when lighted bythe late afternoon, sun of a day in earlywinter Is beyond the possibility of mereverbal description.

^ . »'Walks and Drives.

Haying established the house and otherbuildings on your premises, lay out thedrives and walks, says the PhiladelphiaPress. Do not have a straight line oreven a true arc in the whole plan. Takea long rope and throw it with a snapfrom point to point between the placeflyou would connect, and you will haveundulating, restful curveB, nothing stiffand wearisome by reason of Its stiffness.WalkB must be dry. Drain them and lettheir foundations be porous, mada ofbroken stone.

The Open Fire Place.The majority of men will probably like

to have at least one good, large, openfireplace In the house. This will be asource of great joy nnd comfort. Muchart and Ingenuity may be expended onthe fireplace. It Is not only, healthful, bueconomical, for in the spring and fall onecan light a fire here night and morningand save the cost of lighting the fur-nace. It is an obvious economy to haveell too smoke go up on» chimney

, Closet Arrangement.The average height of women Is 5 fee'

2 inches, but rarely does one find a houseIn city or country to which any attentionhas been paid to this fact in arrangingthe closets. Sometimes the hocks areplaced fully six feet from the floor.

Building Bites.Building sites should be clean and dr?

and ought also to allow abundant freinair to all occupants of tbo structureserected there. Grovel and other porousnails, with permeable Bubsolls, are^to bopreferred. ' _ ~"

SALE OF CONOVER LANDS.PART OF W. W. CONOVER'S ES-

TATE PUT UP AT AUCTION.

The Homestead Property at BedBank Bid up to $8,800-l<red IF.Hope Buys Ptne hands-Charles

ULast Thursday a number of the prop-

erties of. the late William Wv Conoverwere sold at auction at the Globe hotel,When Mr. Con.over.died he was'probablythe largest land owner in the county ofMonmouth. He owned, land in everytownBhjp and in almost every village inthe county. His largest holdings werein the eastern part of the county. Someof the land he owned was of little value,but other tracts were in the best situatedand most valuable parts of the county.He himself had no^idea of the. amountof his holdings of land, and after hisdeath, in straightening put his affairs,line entire records of deeds in the countyhad to be gone over to pick out the landswhich he owned. A search of, titles wasmade and an abstract of all lands boughtby Mr. Conover was compiled. Thenanother search was made and an al>-stract of all lands which bad been soldby him was made. Through this meansit was possible to get a list of the landsowned by Mr. Conover'. ,'Even this listwda not accurate, for Mr. Conover hadbought some lands and had neglected toput the deeds on record,; and the pur-chasers Of some of the lands which hehad sold had failed to record their deeds;thus adding to the confusion of hia realestate. The real estate which he ownedat the time of his deajth, and the recordsof which were straight and unimpeach-able, was appraised by the persons whomade the inventory at nearly $400 000.The real estate which he owned, wheredeeds had not ' been recorded, weremostly small tracts of pine lands, thevalue of which is probably not above$1,000 or $2,000. :'..

A number of the properties which hadbeen advertised for sale were sold atprivate sale previous to the auction.Among these were the Allaire house atRed" Bank, which was bought by Mrs.Harry C.'Badeau ; ivyo: houses and lotson Grand,avenue atLoipg Branch, whichwere bought by Sigmund Eisner of RedBank last Thursday morning for $3,050;two acres, of land at Fair Haven, on theOceanic road, which rwere bought byAndrew Gleaaon; several lots in what isknown as the sand fields at Fair Haven;several tracts of pine. wtwdland; andthree acres of land on the east side ofKemp avenue., at Fair Haven, whichwere bought by John A. Schumann.

There were still a great many prop-erties left to be offered at the sale.Jacob C. Shutts was the auctioneer- andthe bidding on some of the tracts wasbrisk. Themnst valuable property putup was the homestead house and lot atRed Bank, on the river bank. It wasannounced that there was a mortgage of

1,000 on this property and that thismortgage could remain »n the propertyif the purchaser wished. If the pur-chaser did not desire to have this mort-gage on the property it would be paid

•off by the executor and the propertywould be deeded to the buyer free andclear. The property was started at

,000 and was run up to $8,800. Atthis price it was knocked down to Williana Applegate, Jr., of Red Bank.

The lots at Fair Haven were sold atpric6s ranging from $100 to $142.50.George W. Brown bought one of theselots at $105 ; John R, Reevey and P. J.Mulligan each got one of the lots for$100; and Charles P. Irwin of Red Bankbought one of the two corner lota for$120. The otber corner lot was largerthan any of the other lots sold and thiswas bought by John Bailey of Red Bankfor $149,50. LotH in HUB locality badbeen sold nt private sale for $140 to $1COW. Tabor Parker, who had the sule ofthe property in chnrge, stated at thesalo tliut while they would lot lots go atthe figures tlioy brought at tho Bale,they would not qell them at private saleat these figures. Thero is a small housoon ono of tho lots in tho Band fluid atFair Hnvou and this was bought by Rev.J. II. Christmas, pastor of Fisk chnpol,for $100. All of tho lots aro In thoneighborhood of Fislt chupol, nnd areone block noutli of tho Rod Bunk aiidFair Havoh road.

Nino acres of land nt East Ocounic werebought by J. L. Ecolou, a summer resi-dent of Oocnnic, who linn a country scatin that locality, Tho property IH on thonorth side of tho roud • loading fromOceania to Scnbrlght, and it is junt emit,of tlio Rivereldo hotel. TIKI plot has nfrontago of 1)90 foot on tlio road nnd inabout 700 foot; deep., Mr. Purkor stated

that be had had several offers to buy lotson this tract from various people, butthat it was preferred to close it out inone traot. The bidding began at $50 anacre, and the price wont slowly'up untilit reached $202.50 per acre, at whichfigure it went to Mr. Eccles.

A plot of 1 0 ^ acres near NavesinkPark; which is covered with a fine second•growth of chestnut, was bought by Ben-jamin John Parker of Shrewsbury at $48per acre. The property has a frontageof 260 feet on Naveeink Park and it ad-joins the Hartshorne lands; -

John Bailey of Red Bank bought theproperty at Old Woman's Hill. Thiscontains five acres. This property is nearthe same ridge as the Tillotson property.The Tillotson tract is small, but it is di-rectly back of Atlantic Highlands, whichadds greatly to its value. The Tillptsonspaid $17,000 for their plot. There areseveral fine houses on this ridge. OldWoman's Hill is at some distance fjomthese fine houses, but the property alongthe ridge is continually being developedand in a few years Old Woman's Hillwill be in demand as a site for a fineresidence. The property commands afine view of the bay, and it is fairly wellwooded, Mr. Bailey got it for $120 anacre, and some of the Middletown town-ship real estate sharps say that the pur-chase of this tract was the great bargainof the day.

Edmund Wilson of Red Bank boughta lot near the railroad station at LongBranch for $180. This lot is 26x100 feet.Another lot near by was bought by Wil-liam Applegate of Red Bank for $200.This lot is twice as large as the lot boughtby Mr. Wilson. Another lot at LongBranch was bought by William Brownof Keansburg for $72.50. This, lot, is onButtonwood street. Benjamin JohnParker of Shrewsbury bought a lot onJoline avenue for $175.

The tracts of woodland went at verylow' prices, and any man could have be-come a land owner at this sale withoutmuch money. The tracts of woodlandare "in the pines and are valuable onlyfor the standing timber and cordwoodthat is on them. Some of these tractshave been cut over and burned over un-til the turf is. entirely burned off andthere are no trees and, no wood left.These lands, when the turf has beenburned off, soon become a sandy waste,and this WEB the oondition of some ofthe tracts offered. Some of the otbertracts contained good timber, but thetimber is inaccessible, on account ofswampy lands, and on others there isa good lot of timber that can be readilycut and marketed. *

The finest tract of woodland sold was.a piece of thirty acres in Howell town-ship. This tract is still a primevalforest, no timber to speak of ever hayingbeen cut off. There are oaks of 200 or800 years' growth and there are equallybig pines and white cedars. This pieceof woodland was sold in a lump for $200to W. A. Thompson. Several personshad intended to go as high as $200 forthis tract, but Mr. Thompson was thefortunate man who bid $200 and noneof the others would go a cent higher.

Fred W. Hope of Red Bank boughtthree tracts of pine land, comprisingabout 33 acres. He paid $1.50 per acrefor 2'3 acres and he paid $3.10 per acrefor ten acres. Dnniel H. Cook boughteleven acres for $2 per acre, and Mr.Cook bought several- other tracts ofwoodland at private sale a few days be-fore the auction.

The Couover estate was interested inthree tracts of woodland in companywith other owners. Two of these tractswere withdrawn at tlie solo on accountof complications that hud arisen. Theother tract, .which comprised 8D& acresof land in the southern part of tho town-ship, was owned jointly by Mr. Cono-ver's estate and by John B. MorriB ofLong Branch, euch being the owner ofone-half of tlio tract. The timber hasbeen cut almost entirely off the tractexcept in a small part where awainpylands make it impossible1 to get tho tim-ber out. Mr. Morris was present at theBuki und ho said that ho hud owned hishalf of tho traot of land for twenty yearsand had novor neon it, Ho bid $10 forMr. Conover'a half of tho tract nnd'thonstopped bidding. Tho bidding was keptup by other purlieu, moro oa a sort ofutnUBoment than for any real desire togot the property, and it wne finallyknoolcod down to ChurleB P.

"Why, I rememberone that makes mf.tbeed spin emerytime I think of It Let mo see—yee, itwas back to 1680. Just about that timeI had arrived ttom the west aad ventIn for racing with both feet A. friend•of mine owned a fast 2-yem>-old mald-«n. Tbe bowe- bad a good pedigree and

''was Tell trained, but eomebcw wasnever in' tbe money. My friend had agreat deal of faith In the boreo andbacked tbe animal every time it ran.He lost, and wten It became monoto-nous be came to me.

"'Jim,' be said, rather sadly, 'I'msnearly brokst If I keeji on dropping•.my money as I nave done for the past;two months/1 "don't Unaw what willbecome of me. I guess I will wind upin the poorboose.'

"'Why, what's tbe matterr I said,drying to cbeer him up. Don't be flown-.hearted, oH boy. Wbcn you ore short,you know 700 can always find me.'

• goes through I'll have all tbe money Iwant. The scheme Isn't strictly hon-•cst, but that's the only way I can get.the coin Just now. I've been on the.square long enough.' Saying this, hedisappeared, and I did not see or hearfrom him for 6 long-time.

"One day bis horse came m. second.I was very, moch pleased, and when Ifound Jim I extended my hand to con-gratulate htm. To my surprise, hewaved roe aside and hung his head. Icould not for the world make out what'

" 'I know I have not been carrying onright, Prank,' he said, "but If you wentthrough what I have during tbe pastten boars yoq' certainly would not"blame me, Frank, I cannot look anhonest man straight in tbe face aftertoday. I stood to wta $50,000, but I'mjennlless now. It's all because I wasgreedy find refused to part with an ex-tra $10. «Aa yon are no doubt aware,my horeo ran second today.

"Then be went m and told me thefollowing storyi He bad toH all tbeother jockeys rntbe race that be de?

's ired to win and rarfolded Ms scheme.Seven horses ran, and tbe Jockeys hadtheir Instructions, -They were to letmy friend's borae win.' Ail ot theJockeys with tbe exception of one re--ceired a ticket on tbe prospective win-iner. My friend's horse was quoted at20 to 1, and tbe six jockeys bad ticketswhich called for $200 to p.0. Some-low or other the Beventh .Jockey got

' -wind of this and approached the traln-• <er of my frieod*a horse about t t The

trainer told bnn to see Jim, wblch hedid. Jim told bnn to go to tbe devil.He Said: 'Go away, boy, and don'tbother me, Ton haven't got a chance'to beat my horse, and I am not afraidof you anyway. I got $10 left, but you.shall not have It ' The Jockey•perslat-od thai: he could win if he tried andtold Jim that be ought to be let In onthe deal, Jtm was obdurate and re-quested tbe Jockey to go about hta busi-ness. Jtm somehow bad scraped un-beknown to me about $5,000. His

^agents backed tbe horse all over thecountry, and be stood to win a small.fortune,

"'Well, tbe race was «oon off, and bishorse was loading In tbe stretch by'five lengths. He thought it was allover but tbe explanations. On the runhome his horse was still ahead by agood margin, and in tbe excitement theseventh jockey, the'"one to whom hebad refused to give a ticket, was for-

' gotten. But the Jockey had predictedcorrectly, and with a burst ot speedthat took tbe breath away from tbespectators the outsider came to thefore and,beat my friend'B torso out at'the post by a sbort heed. Well, whenMt was all over and tbe numbers hodgone up and my friend's borso hadbeen beaten Jim realized what a foolhe had been.

HStoott wasensentlally a man of action. Tor ex-ample, at one time there occurred ontbe line a freight wreck that piled Upscores of cars la a confused heap In acutting, thus completely barring themain line.

"The local authorities were besidethemselves, for they could not figureout how the wreck could be clearedaway and the line reopened in less thantwo weeks. At this juncture Scott ar-rived on tbe scene and after a surveyof the wreck sent for a great quantityof coal oil, with which he had the pilethoroughly drenched. It waa thentouched off, and the god of fire soonremoved all trace of it, and traffic wasresumed on the line In SM hours.

"A bridge fell, and it was feared along delay must ensue, but Scott putmore than 2,000 men to work on thatone structure and thus eliminated thequestion of delay. Those were thedays when such-things counted andwere not only possible, but necessary)Today railroading is reduced to such afine point that the need for them nolonger exists.; The,reads are too safe-guarded for tha t - '

SAVED BY BEARS.

Thev Routefl Bevenue Men WhoWere Bunting WMqku.

1 "We'd bin makln moonshine •whis-fcy over In the big ravine, tur aboutthree weeks," eald the old possumhunter of Tennessee, "when a ttrumplnbig b'ar cum down out of the thicketone day and acted in a mighty cnr*usway. It.was in' the summer, and hewas sheddln his fur, and, though I .

. had my rifle handy, I didn't beer toshoot him. Xhat b'ar smelt the whis-ky, and' he sniffed and snuffed andseemed to want a .taste.. I hollered athim and drlv him off two, or threetimes, but he kept comln back. Myole woman had come over with-mysupper, and arter watchln the b'ar furawhile she said: .

•-'." 'Zeb, thaf b'ar wants a drink ofco'n juice suah's yo'r bo'n, and I'm furgivin it to him.'

"I laughed at tha idea, but as hecontinued to hang around-the placethe old woman poured about a pint of'the stuff into a pan and set It on astone.80 rods away. She had skasslyturned her back befp' - the b'ar waslappln It up, and he smacked his lipsover it Jest like a man. In a leetlewhile he walked off, and later on weheard eich a row down around thebend that we crept down to see what

\ it was. It was our b'ar and his mate.That pint of whisky had made ourb'ar feel mighty jolly, and he was ln-slstln that the other b'ar dance aroundand roll over with him. One was drunkand jolly and the other sober and mad,and- the way they.carried on was asgood, as a circus. Next day both b'arBshowed up fur whisky and went off asjolly as you please, and half an hourlater I walked right-up to them aathey slept and snored. I wasn't furglvln away, any mo' Hcker, but theole woman thinks It over and says: '

" 'Zeb, the tur of them b'ars won't bewuth shucks fur three months, butwhat's ' the matter with shettln thevarmints up In our outdoor cellar furthe rest of the summer? I reckon wekin manage to feed 'em, and each hidewill fetch $15 as soon as the fur Isprime.' ' ' - •

"I decided that it was a good Idea,and we put out a hull quart of whiskyfur 'em, but fur some reason~they hadleft the nayburhood. 'The old womanreckoned they'd got ashamed of them-selves and gone off to avoid temp-tashun, and I kinder flggered that theywas off spreadln the news and lnvitlnother b'ars to" come along and sheera good thing. We'd about given upseeln 'em ag'ln when they showed up.I was all alone at the still that day,but 1 had ropes at hand to tie 'em up Incase our plan worked, and I poured

. two full quarts of whisky Into the panand set it out in the old place. Themb'ars had bin roamin around and keep-'In sober fur so long that they wasdyin fur a spree, and they lapped upevery drop of that llcker and lickedtheir chops fur mo'. They: didn't gitjolly, as I looked fur.. On the contrary,they snarled and growled and wantedto pick a fuss with each other. Mebbea b'ar, Is like a man about drinkin.Let him git too much, and he's uglyinstead of jolly. I -waited awhile andthen; tollered 'em, hopln to find 'emasleep, and that's how I cum to see asight to make my ha'r stand up.

"Down around the bend in the ra-vine was a grassy spot, and what Isaw was them b'ars rollin four menover the ground. It wasn't a mlnltbefo' I knowed who them men was.They was revenoo fellers who hed gotnews of my still and was sneakln upthe ravine to ketch' me red handed.The b'ars had met 'em and' pitchedright in. I reckon the fellers was toosurprised to fire a shot, though all hadpistols, and the way them b'ars didslam 'em around was a caution. Twoof the fellers broke away as Boon as Igot thar, but the other two was so bad-ly clawed that arter the b'ars left 'emthey could skasBly crawl, and I'm suahthey laid out in the woods all night Iwas much obfeeged to the varmints, asyo' may reckon, as. they hed saved mefrom a surprise, and in my gratitood Isaid to tho ole woman:

6 i ' " I ain't gwine to play no trlcka ona'tarmlnt what has saved mo fromruin, and I shan't try to captur* 'em.'Deed, but I'll furnish 'em with freeco'n juice and let 'em hev a goodtime.'

"They was back next day fur theirdrink, and, rememberin how a quarthad made 'cm ugly drunk, I only sotout a pint, They lapped it up and'looked fur mo', and,when no mo' wasfo'thcomln they gin us a surprise party.Xhar was fo' men of us at the stillthat day, and arter growlln around furawhile them b'ars cum chargln downupon us. Wo had to scatter mighty

. sudden, and they kept us dway fur anhicwr. Thar was no whisky to be gotat, and they tore dovfa our shanty,clawed our blankets Into strips andwent off growlln at each other. Wedidn't seo 'urn ag'ln .fur a month.Then one day as I was carryin a kegof the stuff on my shoulder along amountain path I ruu full tilt into thetwo of 'cm, I knowed 'em In a mlnlt,|and I jest counted on hovln.a fuss with'om. It was no UBO tryln to git away,and I put down tho keg and stood backto gin 'em a chance at It. But theydidn't taka i t They walked up andsniffed about, and aB soon as thoy rec-ognised tho Btnell.thoy aortor shooktheir heads and walked oft' and gin moa^StyttV'jtoad.' M I-'nggorcd It.'thorn

r v_THE ST^FP 6 P LIFE. ,.

Breaa Seems to be Failing in Favoras an Article of Diet.

"I look upon bread as an article offood destined to be completely abolish-ed before many-: years,"' said a NewYork doctor,' "for the number of rper-sons who are willingly giving up theuse of It Increases every year. The ma-jority of them do this on the advice oftheir physicians, who find more groundfor recommending abstinence frombread us they see the results that sucha course of treatment has on their pa-tients. / ' •'• .

"For nearly all forms of dyspepsia,^gout; rheumatism and kindred ail-ments the patient Is first told to shunbread unless it be submitted to certainpreparation and be taken only forcer-,tain forms. The great Increase in thenumber of hygienic foods that havebeen, put upon the market and the al-most invariable success of any of thesemanufactures' which prove an accepta-ble substitute for bread and otherstarchy foods are other indications inthe change of the public feeling towardbread as a simple food which could betaken under all circumstances.

"Some years ago a man wrote a boobdevoted-Chiefly to exposing to theworld the.harmful qualities of bread.Persons at that time thought he was, acrank, and little attention was paid tohis very sound utterances on the sub-ject But his opinions are now re-ech-oed by most physicians, ami the greatarmy of abstainers from bread gathersrecruits every, day. The revolt againstsuch a well established institution Isnaturally a little bit slow. But breadis destined to be ultimately shunnedeven more -than it Is today, and this de-struction of a tradition that has lastedcenturies is already well under Way.Most of its force comes from the com-plete satisfaction of the persons whodo give up bread entirely. They are al-ways the most enthusiastic advocatesof the new theory on the subject."

HE TESTED HIS SKILL.

The Resutti Moved the Philosopherto a Discourse on Success.

"Did you ever realize that the SJM-cess that one really-enjoys comes only-through hard work?" asked the philos-opher. "I know the average mortal.would prefer to gain his ends withouthard toil, but few do, and I doubt ifthose few gain any pleasure from hav-lng-the plum drop In their laps withoutany effort on their part.

"I had that fact impressed upon meonly the other day. I chanced duringan idle moment to pick up an emptyink bottle, and something started mythoughts back to my boyhood dayswhen an, empty bottle furnished anideal mark >to throw stones at. Smilingto myself at the childishness of it, Iset the bottle on a hitching post, andafter carefully selecting a number ofatones I stood off about 30 feet andprepared to make a test of my skill.The very first stone that I threwcaught the bottle fairly in the centerand shattered It into a hundred pieces.I threw away the stones that I had socarefully gathered in disgust. I hadaccomplished what I bad set out to doon my first throw, but I fully realizedthat It was only a fluke and that Imight throw 50 more stones and notcome anywhere near the mark.

"Now, if, on the contrary, I had miss-ed, I would have carefully noted wherethe fault lay and tried to" have correct-ed it on my next throw. The throwsthat Went too low and too high, as'•well as too much to one side, wouldhave all been valuable lessons to me,and In the end I would have succeededIn placing a stone where I wanted it.That would have, been success gainedby working for it. The very few peo-ple who gain Buccess on their firstthrow have my sympathy."-

Marriage Was a Success."Is marriage a failure?" "I should

say not!" remarked an Oregon farmer."Why, there's Luclndy gits, up in thomornin, milks six cows, gits breakfast,starts four children to Bkewl, looks ar-,ter the other three, feeds the hens,likewise the hogs, likewise some moth-erless sheep, skims 20 pans of milk,washes tho clothes, gits dinner, et cet-cry, ot cetcry! Think I could hire any-body to do it for what she gits? Notmuclil Marriage, sir, is a success—agreat successl"

• NordlcA's Kocipo For Succewt."It is work, work, work, that makes

success," oho once exclaimed. "Work'11 vo minutes, and you vrlll succeed liveminutes' worth, but work five hours,and you will succeed flvo hours'worth."

"But" I Bald, "rotnembor your natu-ral gifts,"

"Plenty have natural voices equal tomine," sho answered, .'"plenty have- tal-ent equal to mine, but I nave- worked,"

A FICKLE IMMIGRANT;

Her Experience With Two Lovers. "at Uncte> 'Sam's ilarge Office* ."There seem to be manifold oppor-

tunities among the immigrants comingto America on shipboard for falling Inlove, particularly on the slower steam-ers,, when people are thrown togetherfor a period of from, 12 to 18 days,"saye John Gllmcr. Speed In Alnslee's."In this case a worthy young Russianwas cheated out of a very "pretty brideby a likely Italian fellow traveler ofthe' maiden. Strangely enough,' BhekneftMiot one word of Italian nor bea word of Russian, "yet the bribe'scountryman was Jilted, and the panto-mime lovers were married and setforth gayly and confidently to' learneach other and the great new worldthey had entered at one and the sametime.';.':--. : ' ' . ' "• ";:~ '•'•; .' > .. y :

"Another case was equally ludicrous.A Swedish maided of somewhat ficklemind fell in love with a fellow voy-ager without apprising him of the factthat she was.betrothed to another manwhom she was to \meet at the bargeoffice and marry. ; It was her .Intentionto hurry ashore with her new loverand,outwit the former by a prior cere-mony i but the red tape of, the officeprevented that and the first lover cameto welcome his bride. -She then aspromptly fell In love with No. 1. Butwhen No. 2 pleaded and threatened,she could not decide which one sheloved the better, so she was detainedwhile the.two men haunted the'bargeoffice, glaring at each otheri

"When the detention time had elaps-ed, the bride, Still not knowing hermind, was sent unceremoniously backon the same steamer that brought herover, both Jilted lovers abandoning thefield in despair. But on arriving- onher native soil once more the maidendared not face her people, so back shecame, having Just money enough topay her passage, aad sent for lover No.1, declaring that she loved him the bet-ter. He replied that he was very muchobliged, but as he had already marrieda handsomer girl in the interval he wascompelled to decline to come for her.The maiden then sent word to No. 2 tolike effect, but he declared that he hadhad enough of the fickle feminine, andthus in defeat the maiden was trans-ported back again to face the leers andJeers of her native hamlet." \

Earning Their Board. >"'One' of the oM time Adirondackguides'was Elijah Cowles of LakePleasant, In Hamilton county. Cowlesstood 8 feet 7 in hie stockings and wasof powerful build. When he was notmoose hunting or bear hunting orguiding, he was keeper of the countyJail at Lake Pleasant and the comityallowed him 50 cents a week board foreach man." This meint feareful'.plan-',ning and not extrenlely luxurious liv-ing at the best. -So Cowles, being afellow of resource, used to take hisprisoners off moose hunting, that theymight earn then* board. It Is relatedof one victim that after having beenout for ten days on the trail with thestrapping guide-he begged ptteously tobe allowed to go-back to jail, but theinexorable Cowles compelled him to"keep up with the procession" untilthe venison had been captured.- ~

Thrive Without Meat.It is the religion of nearly all Asiat-

ics to abstain from eating flesh, fish orfowl, because it Is a sin to kill for foodanything that has instinct "lest It behindered on Its upward way." Besides,according to the' doctrine of transmi-gration of souls, one might kill and eatone's grandmother. But, aside fromthat, vegetable food, .it is claimed,makes better muscle and bone than"meat. Anyway, It Is well known thatthe stevedores of Constantinople andother eastern ports never eat meat, andthat, as a class, they have no superiorsanywhere in the world in • physicalstrength.

THE RUSSIAN CIGARETTES.

(From London T'• The visit of Prince Serglira Mendele-Jeff to England Is 6*111 a matter of re-cent history—to most people but aproofr of the safety enjoyed by all na-tlons, without discrimination, underthe shadow of the British flag; to my-self nod a few others an anxtons night-mare in which we prevented as if bymiracle the attacks of toe nQtlltsts onthe august person of his imperial high-ness. . ' • • • •

On the afternoon of April 251 sat Inmy chambers putting the final touchesto a draft of the route which was to betaken by the royal visitor. The princewas to arrive at Portsmouth In bisyacht la the early morning of the 26th,to loud Incognito and to entrain atonce In the "Bpecial" that would beawaiting to convey him to London. Onthe Journey the train was to hoU atGrayford, a small rural station, for anhour while the' prince breakfasted lathe open air, this being his usual cus-tom while traveling In Russia. He was.then to proceed to Waterloo, being metthere by several members of the Eng-lish royal family. Such woe the pro-gramme arranged by the foreign office,and I was the official intrusted withthe 'supervision of th« arrangementsand held responsible for Prince Ser-gius'. safety, a post that promised to belittle of a sinecure.

I had finished annotating the draftand was stretching out my hand for acigarette when, the page entered andsaid that a lady woe waiting below andinsisted on seeing me.

In my capacity of chief In the secretservice I .have many unconventionalvisitors, but on this occasion I feltsome annoyance, for I was very busy.

' "Can she call again?" I began whenthe lady herself appeared in the door-way and dissipated the text of my re-monstrance. ' • . '

She was a stylish, well dressed girl. of 19,' with clustering curls of dork

brown hair'peeping out from beneath• her picture hat and radiant violet eyes,

which looked pleadingly toward me.My chagrin vanished with the pa-

thetic little smile on her face, and Ifound myself shutting the door and

• placing a chair for the fair stronger.She sat down and played nervously

with her gold muff chain while master-ing up courage to speak. "You willforgive me for Interrupting you, sir,when I tell you that my errand Is very"closely connected with the safety ofhis imperial highness Prince SergraoMendetejeff," Bhe«aid after a few min-utes had elapsed.

"Indeed.1" I remarked,"My name is Muriel Clough. You

know Captain Clough, I suppose," shocontinued, "the officer who has beenappointed to the prince's suit duringhis visit to England?'

I slgulflod my assent.. -"He is my stepbrother. It is for hisBake that I have come here today—forhis Bake and that of the family honor.I know nothing definite, you under-stand, but I fear the danger all the

" more for its obscurity."He has fallen under the spell of

Princess Olga Skobensky, a nihilistrefugeo in London, Who is as beautifulas she is cruel and unscrupulous. Mybrother ltj merely wax. in her bands,

. and from certain hints that be has let, fall I feel convinced that she is urging

liiiu to attempt, or, at all events, con-nive at,- tho murder erf Prince Serglus•during his visit to England, a crime forwhich his appointment offers such fintal facilities. Oh, sir"—

She rose from her chair and stretch-ed out her hands appeallngly.

"I beseech you to frustrate tho prln.teas' schemes and to save Rupert fromthe consequences o€ his fatal fascina-tion."

"You may rest assured that I shal'xlo my best, Miss Clough, both for the

• prince's sake and your own," 1 replied."It would bo dangerous to bnve yourbrother removed from the position toWhich he was gazetted last night. SuchA step would probably precipitate somohorrible outrage on tho part of tho'nihilists. I think I may promise,tbougli, without boasting, that CaptainClougli will have Uttlo opportunity fo

, Injuring lijs royal hlghneea with tincircumspect watch thnt tho detectiveand I will keep over him."

"Thank you; thank j'ou, a thousatktlnicB," Bho said gratefully. "That liJust what I wautclL"

"The obligation is ou our aide,", answered, mulling, ao I ushered her

to the door.I stood watching her drlvo off la he:

Bat tho laugh died oat on my lips asI considered the serious news thatMiss Clough bad brought me. Her im-pression! of Princess Olga Skobensky

closely tallied with my awn ezpen-ence, as I knew that for years theprincess had been the terror and bug'bear of the Btushin police.

I knew the princess in society, and asudden idea came into my mind thai Iwould call oa her and see as much asossible how the land. lay.I found her In her blue and silver

xmdoir smoking Russian cigarettes.he was surprised and I fancied for a

moment alarmed at my entrance."This Is an .unexpected pleasure, Sir

Georgv," she said, smiling. "Tpu haveot been to see rot* for ages.", "Business, my dear princess; busi-

ness," I responded, taking the cup ofoffee that she had poured out for me.I am worked to death on account of

your compatriot's .visit. I only hopehat you ottiUsts wfll refrain from

troubling the poor chap while he isover here.". > '

The,princess arched her dark eye-w 8 in well affected surprise."Nlhnistr she repeated. "Oh, I am

only a nlhniet so fa ae It furnishes aashionable excuse for living in Bog-and. You know quite \(vll that I

would not hart a fly, much tees a princef my own notion."I thought this pretty good from a

woman who had stabbed with her ownand the chief of the Ninth section in

her palace at Bfc Petersburg. How-ever, I only smiled and took out mycigarette case.-

"Won't yon try some of these? Igot them from Moscow this morning,"Interrupted the princess, handing meher own case. -

I took a gold tipped cigarette andlighted i t It proved a delicious smoke.

•You. lite them," said she, watchingme Intently.

They are fit for the gods, princess."HQive me your case, and I will fill It

'.at you".I banded over my silver case and

submitted myself to her generosity.•"Where is your gold case," she asked

when the other was filled—"the oneyou keep for grand occasions?'

"No, no, princess, you have beenquite liberal enough," I replied.

"Not at an," she said. "You. mayhave the chance of presenting it to,theprince, and I am sure he would ap-preciate these cigarettes."

And while I drank some more coffeeshe fiDed the gold case also. We chat-ted on indifferent topics, for some time,and then I took, my learve, having Justsaid enough to Princess Olga to showthat I was on my guard against hen.

After leaving Princess Olga's booseI had Joet time for dinner and. to takea hansom to Waterloo. Here I Joinedthe company who were to proceed byspecial train to meet Prince Sergtos.They included tbi? Bussten embassa-dor, with several of MB attaches, 15detectives and officials of the secretservice, and several English officers,among wtom was Captain RupertClough.

During our journey down I took anopportunity of rallying Ctoogh on hisevidently low spirits.

"My word, Fraser," he replied bitter-ly, "I have enough to make me misera-ble. I see no alternative between crimeand dishonor and Mowing my brainsout. The latter appears the more envi-able course to pursue."' He gave a hoitow laugh and stated

moodily out of the window'of the sa-loon.

Come, come," I said, "don't let your-self get Into this morbid state of mind.If you tell me your troubles, perhaps Ican see a way out of them."

But be only shook his bead, so Ismoked on in Bfleooe until our arrivalnt Portsmouth.

Prince SurgluB Mendeiejeff landed atthe pier nt fr:30 on the following morn-ing, wtoere we were waiting to receivet.Jm. ,

His Imperial highness la of middleheight, dark complexlooed, with clear,well cut features and a heavy blackbeard and mustache. On this occasionhe wore a blue undress uniform andseemed much pleased with his Informalreception. I waa tocrodod In the presen-tations that were made to him and badthe honor of loading the wuy to the'special," which began to roovo from

the platform RS soon as the last of theparty had entered the train. The rail-way arrangementfl were perfectly car-ried out, and we reached our one stop-ping place without a bitch.

and then burst out, laughing. It waaempty.

"I could have sworn Paul filled itfor me this morning. However, Imust be abstemious for a little," hesaid. i

Immediately' the embassador and Ipresented our cases.

His imperial highness chose a ciga-rette from each. "I will smoke theembaesudoi's first and then yours, SirGeorge." And, nodding his thanks, hesauntered off with MB companion.

"Have a-cigarette sad act up to theprince's maxim," said Clough. I help-ed myself from bis case and redpror.eated by giving him one from the goldease that Princess Olga bad filled Corme.

We walked along in silence for a fewminutes, when Clough suddenly sur-prised me by saying: '1 have noticed,t ^ careful wateh that ywi and the de-tectives have kept on my movementsever since the prince landed and havedrawn my own conclusions as to whatyou know or guess. You need not beafraid of me, though, Fraser. I toldOlga yesterday that I refused to be aparty to assassination. She wantedme to offer cigarettes containing apowerful explosive to the prince."

Fortunately a .small stream runsthrough Lord Selven's grounds. With-out stopping to explain, I snatched thehalf smoked cigarette from dough'smouth and flung It into the water;then I tore off to where I nod left theprince, cursing my folly as Ijran.

Until enough's.speech the bare pos-sibility of such an atrocious and cow-ardly method of assassination had nev-er occurred to me. Now I did not doubtthat the cigarettes in my gold case (aswas afterward proved) contained anexplosive substance calculated to catiseInstant death to the smoker as soon asthe burning ash touched it.

Atthat moment the prince might be lyingdead under the oak trees, killed, unwit-tingly, by the hand of him Who hadbeen appointed bis guardian, and pro-tector.

How that fiend of a woman musthave chuckled when she made me theunconscious instrument of her wickeddesign.

These thoughts lent wings to myfeet, and I arrived, panting andbreathless, before hie imperial high-ness Just as he was. putting a matchto the paper tube of death.

"Stop, your highness, stopP' I cried,and relieved at the prevention of thecatastrophe, I stammered out an ex-planation of my seeming impertinence..

GUARDING A BANK.

Boita ana Bars ana JBaertvtt WallsAre Sot Enough*

"Modem bonks ace relying more andmore upon men instead of metal fortheir protection," remarked an officialIn one of the big ftnandal insfttaOonsof New Orleans. "In former days," hecontinued, "they depended almost alto-gether upon massive walls, ehormoosdoors and ponderous locks. It is truethere was always a BO called *nlgttwatchman,' bat in nine cases oat of tenho was some superannuated employee,half blind and deaf, wbo was given thejob In lieu of a pension and who sleptplacidly from dark to dawn in the eas-iest office chair he could find.

"It seems Incredible, but a little overa Quarter of a century ago that was theonly kind of guard employed by themajority of the biggest and best banksin the United States. The vault waseverything then, and directors went onthe theory1 that the way to Iwep bur-glors from getting their money was tosurround it by immense masses of cold,

' " ' " ' ' : ' '"Needless to Bay," the banker went

on, smiling, "they were dlsutaslonedpretty frequently. There is an axiomthat whatever one man can make an-other man can break, and the burglarsproved It over and over again.' It waealways the same Btory--the dodderingold watchman found bound and gag-ged, the 'burglar proof' door wide openand the safe empty. That graduallybrought about an entire change inmethod and" led to the development at."the American multiple watchman .sys-tem, which Is undoubtedly the mostperfect on earth. , ."•';•.

"The day has gone by when a gangof crooks can crack a watchman overthe head and then take their timeaboot forcing the vault

"The modern system of watchingand auxiliary watching has put an endto great bank robberies,", added the.

, financier. "The only haula now madeby crookB In that line of business areIn country towns and remote rural dis-tricts, where old •methods still prevail.Tilat Isn't because they are any lesscunning or desperate than they used to

• be, but simply because they recognize..the., folly of attempting to breakthrough the cordon of open human"eyes. ** ; '• / • '•

"It is an interesting fact, by the way,that Uncle Sam was the pioneer inthat system of protection^ and the.banks might well have taken a leaf outof his book years ago. The treasuryvaults at Washington are a good Jokeas far as Intrinsic security Is concern-ed. They are built like forts, and the

^massive masonry of their walls is fullof cannon balls, which ore supposed to

"Yet no attempt has ever been madeon the untold millions of cold cash be-hind the rickety old doors, and the es-tablishment is really one of the safestIn tjie world, for the simple reason thatit Is never left unguarded.

"You%ust not (&fer from anything Ihave said'that up to date Americanbanks have abandoned bolts and bars.On the contrary, the modern vault Is awonderful piece of mechanism and Isas nearly perfect as human ingenuitycan make i t but the chief reliance Ispinned to the living guard, who beats
