The tender hearted woman obeyed therequest and left a broken camp stool withBuiz. On this the doomed nan Bat dur-ing his last days and was saved from actualoontact with the flltbjr Boor.

Alter the dootor's death the jailer's wife,thinking Mrs. Buiz might gain' some sadcomfort from a relio of her husband's im-prisonment, gave her the camp stool.

The heartbroken widow, while gazing atthe chair, was thunderstruck to see JettonIn her husband's handwriting start outfrom the surface of Its frame.

Be Battled—Kins George SBJIlie Cannot Go Back Now.

, Feb. 26.— IE the bonne of lord*today the Marquis of Salisbury, replyingto a question from Lord Dunraven, saidthat as the best tuetinsof placing the houseIn popacBBlon of the facts of the moment a»regards Crete ho would read a telegramsont yesterday evening to the British em-basBadorB to the oourts of tho great powers,It was as follows:

"Inform the government to whlob youore accredited that bor majesty's govorn*ment propo&os to make the following doolaratlon of the policy whloh they intend topursue and which they believe :B in ao*oordanoe with the views of their allies:

Firstly.—Tho establishment of an ad*minlstrative autonomy in Crete is a neces-sary condition for the termination of theinternational occupation.

"Secondly.—That, subject to the abovecondition, Crete ought, in tholr judgment,to remain a portion of the Turkish empire.

"Thirdly,—Tho Turks and GreeksBhould be Informed by the powers of thisresolution.

Fourthly.—If Turkey and GreeceBhould, .when required, persistently refuseto withdraw their military and navalforces from the island, the powers shouldImpose their decision by force upon thestate so refusing.'

The Condition! Explained*The premier called special attention to

the words "when required," adding thatH did not follow, Jn the caaoot Turkey,that her troopB should be withdrawn im>medlatoly. On tho other hand, he ci-ulatned, the withdrawal of the Turkishtroops vraa a necessary condition of auton-omy. Therefore they would have to with*draw except so far as they hod been keptIn the cases of the Island of Samos andScrvia, simply as an Indication of sover-eignty. For all effoctive purposes and Inrespect of all influences upon the govern-ment and dally life of the inhabitants tb.9Turkish troops would evidently have to bewithdrawn when autonomy was estab-lished.

The Greek troops, the premier imagined,would bD required by tho powers to with-draw at an earlier ditto, He belioved thinwas the conrBo the powers desired to pur-sue, but he could not go further Into de-tail, believing that this was one of thenecessary consequences of acting in con-cert : .

Continuing, tbe Marquis of Salisburyremarked: • ; , .

"Of course If the proposals which hernj(vsty.B govermiiopt hiiva-Tonturwl ta

'present wero recognized; by tho other pow-ers as thoEe animating thoir poliuy it. IsImpossible for the present state of thingsin Crete to indefinitely continue."

DOVER, N. J.. FEBRUARY 26,1897.2POUT MOHHIS,

Now while I think of it I limytell you inconfidence that I had a letter from fSenut rSmith, dated January lit*, baying that ho hadnhipped mo a ]>r«ekageof gurden seeds fromWashington, &c. Now it is nearly the oddof Pebrunrv and thnt jmckago of sends liasnot got hue yet. Postmaster General Wilsonwill please take notice uud spud Bomeooily tohunt it up. Senutor Smith will ]>h-ano acceptmy thanks all tho name It was not bin faultif the greut taritT sumshor who now runs thepostolllcu and wliosu timo is drawing to aclose can't run tlio post oillco much bettertbau ho built the treat aiiti-American tarilTbill that bears his name.

Talking of tarilfr, how is this i A reporteron the London Daily Mail, having beard thatthe London and Northwestern Railway wastaking advantage of the "steul war" in tboUnited States to import steel from America,hastened to J. LoMaru, fcecretury of tho greatEnglish railroad, to discover tho facts. Mr.LeMuro explained tlmmluatiou us folioWB :

" It is a fact tluit tome time ago it was sug-gested that wo should invite Uiinleiafui' thesupply of raw material from tho UnitedBUites, hut nothing came of it. Asa waiterof fact, it was felt that, as tho company weredeueuduut on Englishmen and English com-merce for its support,it would not bo right togo outsido iho country for such material ascould be obtained at home, A a a railwayman I can assure- you that wo do not favortbe idea of natronizing foreign firms. Oermail and American enterprise is no doubt allvory well for Geminus and Americans, butwe are strict supporters of British industries,therefore we use British material." Bee I

There are free tiudoid and free traders.English free traders believe iu supportingBritish industries. American Free tradersbelieve iu supporting English industries, too,don't you know.

The presumption is that if Postmaster Gen-eral Wilson could save uve ceuts on a suit ofclothes he would have it imported fromEurope, if all ttie sheep in Ohio had to behilled for mutton, BO would President Clove-land and Benator Bayard. Americana aresupposed to love America and all hor works,including her industries. Whisper it easynow, what kind of Americans are they winlove to ape Euglish manners and Englishmen;who;prefor British "raw material" to thatraised at home by Americans on Americansoil? If we must have free traders give meEnglish free traders every time. I have 110use for Amorican free traders,

Mrs. ttargent, widow of Engineer Elias•Sargent, desires, through tho EUA, to expressher thanks to tho Brotherhood of LucomutiviFiremen aud tho Improved Order of HedMen for the courteous manner iu which themembers attended to all the detail of thefuneral arrangements aud t he ceremonies attho grave of her deceased husband, hoping

n that both orders may continue to prosper intbo future as they have in tho past.

I am glad to note that George E. Long isimproving, though ho has four or five weeksof perfect rest before him yet with all thatthat implies. And that means a good dual toa man who has been active iu all thingiwhich he uudertook.

A. A. Mut terry-end Charles Lewis, of Btanhope, are on tho sick list also, as are RobertF. Sickles, Fred. N. Davlsand Lewis Couover,of this town, aud John Bostedo, Joseph Camp-bell and John A. Love, of Netcong. Bo furthis week there have been no deaths, forwhich wo are devoutly thankful.

Can you tell me just why the so-calledChristian Powers of Europe took tho port oltht) unspeakable Turk the other day over InCrete, while they have been standing idly byfor months white that same barbarous ftBulraan butchered Christians ia Armeniawithout lot orhludrance? Also why America,In the person of " Boss " Clevelaud, ita presi-dent, ha? stood with folded arms witnessingtho atrocities and barbarisms of "ButcherWeyler" in Cuba? How long, 0 Lordl howlong!

Conductor Wright, of the Washingtonwildcat, got his arm mashed at Waterloo sinceI lost wrote you. Latest report is that howill not have to have it amputated.

The latest thing In the air is that Miss IdaWoodruff and U. H. Thomas were marriedby the Rev. Mr. Gibb3, who used to be pastorof the M. E. Church in Stanhope. I wishthorn a very pleasant voyuge on the sea oflite. May no dangers meet them until theBall is furled.

Heading in tha paper the other day that thewidow of Heary Ward Beecher was seriouslyill) reminded me of the time when Mr. Beccherwas in tho zenith of his famo; when I askeda man in New York how to get to Beecher'schurch ia Brooklyn and he replied, " CrossFulton ferry and follow tho crowd;" how Ifollowed the crowd to the place where thuchurch was, only to find another c owdthrough which I wormed my way until I gotInto Plymouth Church where I atood up dur-ing the whole service on the Iron screen thatrau across the lower part of the window, be-cause I could not find a seat iu t ho big church.I heard him lecture once in the Halsey Street.Methodist Church, in Newark, when ho toldhti audience we were " a nation of cheerersand hissers," when they tried to howl himdown aud drown hit) moguiflcent .voice withhissing. " Go on, gentlemen," he said,"when you get through hiding I wilt go onwith my lecture," and he sat down until thebiasers got ashamed of themselves and sub-sided into silence. If he were altve now New-ark would hear him differently, I guess. Mrs.Beecher told in the December number of theLadies' Homo Journal how Mr. Beecher oncesold slaves in Plymouth Church. The firstslave auction held in Plymouth was held onJune 1, l&fl. Mr. Beecher's in'entions budbeen noised abroad and nt S o'clock pooplobegan gathering at the church by hundreds,although the doors were not opened until 10o'clock, and the services did not begin until10,-aO. The church was densely crowded,every available foot of space was occupiedand thousands were outside, unable to gainadmission. When Mr.-Beecher stepped onthe platform a deathlike Btllhiess fell on theentire.audience. For a few moments he sur-veyed the wonderful assembly before him,anil then, closing Ills eyes in prayer for asingle momeut, be arose. Every one of thatvast congregation was instantly tbe embodi-ment of expectancy. He said: "About twoweeks ago I hod a letter from Washingtoninforming me that a young woman had beensold by her own fattier to be sent soutb, forwhat purpose you can imagine when you BOOhor. She was bought by a slave traderfor 11,200 and' he has off-rod to giveyou the opportunity of purchasing tierfreedom. . Sho has given her wordof honor to return to Richmond if the moneybo not raised, and, slave though Bhe be called,she is a woman who will keep her word.Now Sarah come up hero so that all may seeyou. The solemn. Impressive silence of tbatvast Plymouth assemblage was absolutelypainful as a young woman slowly, ascendedthe stairs leading to the pulpit and sank intoa choir by Mr. Beechor'a side. If Beecherhad not been a preacher he would havo madean excellent actor, Instuntly assuming tbelook and manner of an auctioneer he calledfor bids. *'Look," he exclalmod, ( tnt tbfBmarketable commodity—human flesh andblood like ourselves. You Bee the white bloodot her father in her regular features and high

ghtful brow. Who bids ? Bhe is Boundin wind and limb. What do you bid for her?She is a Christian woman—I mean a prayingligger—and that makes her .more valuable

How much for hurt Will you allow thisraying woman to go back to Richmond toneet the fate for which her father sold her ?

If not who bids ? Who bids ?"AB every word rang out in Mr. Koechor's

clear voice it seemed to enter the heart ofeach of tbe heartrs. Every eye was firedupon the s!a*e woman on the platform. Thepeople almost held their breath from excite-ment as the eloquent preacher proceeded :" Come now ! Wo are selling this woman,you know, and a fine Bpeci Jien she is. Lookat her. See for yourselves. Don't 3-011 wanther ? Now, then, pass the baskets and let ussee." The congregation was wrought up tothe very highest pitch. Tears of pity and in-digi ation streamed from eyes unused to weep-ing. Borne one near tho pulpit stepped for-ward and laid a bank no e at Mr. Beecher'afeet. "Good," cried the preacher, " the first;now then 1" For a half hour money was piledon tho contribution boxes. Womon took offtheir jewelry and put. it in the haskiits. Menunfastened thuir watches and handed themto the ushers. Above all the bustlo Hnd con-fusion of the remarkable scene Mr. Beecher'spowerful voice rang out: " Shall this womango back to Richmond or be free ?"

'Free," said several men as they emptiedtheir pockets into the collection baskets.

" In the name of Christ, men and women,how much do you bid V Beecher continued.Ju-t at this poiut LouisTappen shouted abovethe din : " Mr. Beocher there need be nomore anxiety as several gentlemen haveagreed to make up the deficiency whatever Itmay be."

"Then, Sarah, you are free," said Beecherturning to tho girl beside him.

The collection left no deficiency to be modeup All of the twelve hundred dollars hadbeen given for Sarah's freedom and there wasmoney euough over to buy her a little homenear Mr. Beocher's farm near Peekskill, N.Y. Two years ago she was alive aud happy.

pany's t eport for thia year ?hows tbat compauy to be In a more prosperous and flourish-ing condition than nt any timo in the fifty-two years of Its existence. It is tbe largestfinancial institution in tlia State and its Bolid-ity and the conservatism of ita managementaro well attested by the frequent attemptstbat have been made to win uopulir favor bycompanies imitating ita name as nearly aspossible without violating the law. The totalreceipts of tho co-npaoy for the year were$11,215,805.85, whicb, with the balance Jan-uary 1,1S1N1, brought tho full amount up to'the enormous total of $07,151,104.45. Thecompany hasa "non-forfeituresystem" whichkeeps all policies in force whether premiumsare paid or nob so long as there is any unusedva'ue remaining witb tbe company. This isbut one of many advantages offered by thcompany and its desirability was well mani-fested in the case of tbe late Augustus W.Cutler, of Morriatown. Mr. Cutler had neg-lected to pay premiums on several p liciesheld in New York' companies and the policieswere lapsed. He failed to pay also in tbeMutual Benefit of Newark, but under theirsystem tho policy remained ia force and onhis death the sum of $10,000 was paid by thecompany to his liuira.

IRONIA.(Communicated)

Volunteer Army Post, No. 8, of Dover, heldservices at tbo chapel on Monday night andfor the nrst time in years the place wascrowded. A number of Christians were con-verted over again. The regular choir hasalways been noted for good singing but thesingers of the army surprised them, Every-body enjoyed tbo meeting and the residentsof Lower Ironia would cheerfully welcomethem any time they could come again, aslively and cheerful meetings and a full houseare what this place- wants instead of humdrummeetings and empty benches.

Omar Roll, formerly a resident of Ironla,and a member of tho army, will excuse thelack of courtesy to the army and explain tothe post that the most prominent citizenswere absent, therefore they had not the pleas-ure of welcoming them, which we regret.Never hdess we aro pleased the army tookpossession and lead tbe meeting just the Bane.

THAT LITTLE DINNERHOW TO ARRANGE FOR AND 8ERVE A

CHARMING MEAL

Buln *•"** w u l A"^' WI"""*1 **• *>!«-D e r IB Expensive op Not—The Maid, XJke-the M»glolan'« Aiilitunt, Playi » MostImportant Tmrtt

Hot little dinner you would like tonivo is not euoh n fonnldnljle affair 1( youmy heed to certain essential points andgee that 70ut roald *8 w e U drilled beforethe occasion.

You would perhaps like to .attempt ahlKlior flight than the usual fan*y dinner.Let us say, then—or rather, tula may betaken &B » suggestion—that the dinnerconsists of a «>up, o fish, a roaBt, a naiad,defiBert and coffee. If a daintily protty ta-1,1c is wanted, have an under tubleolothof canton flannel, a fine linen tablecloth,sanklnsi carving clothe, If you bave them,but they ore not essential. If your maid isuntutored, you must personally attend tothe laying of that table. See that the can-ton cloth Is put on perfectly smooth andthe linen cloth over It wrlnklelcss.

Flues a daintily arranged bunch of flow-en in the center of the te'oie. If you bavea handsome tall lamp, use that for thecenterpiece. If you are the fortunate pos-sessor of pretty candelabra, put one oneach uido of the flowers. If you use cajidlo-stlcfcfl, you need four, which must beplaced In » square a little distance fromthti Uowers. Lay a dinner plato for eachperson. On the right of this plate thoamid mast lay a soup spoon, a dinnerknife, a knife for the flsh. On the left shemust place a fork for the fish and a largerone for the roast. There i s a proper wayIn which to lay each of these articles. Thebowl ot the spoon should be upward, theiharp edges of the knives toward the platesand tho tines of forks up. Those pointsan essential to good form. A tumbler forwater Is placed at the right of each plateted a napkin, holding a piece of bread, attho left

Sco that all the things necessary foreach course are ready and at hand. Placetho dessert plates, with their spoons orforks, on the sideboard. On a side tablehate ready a tray with after dinner coffeecups and sauoers and spoons with Bugarbowl and cream jug. , Bare extra glasses,knives, forks and spoons ready at band tomeet emergencies Uuit sometime* happenat the best regulated dinner.

Your tureen, dishes and plates must beworm. To neglect this point spoils a gooddinner. The salad bowl and olive UlBhesmust be oooL It U rather nine to bave acouple of olive disheaand aoouple of illsheiof salted almonds. These are placed out-side tbo candelabra. Just before dinner Isannounced turablera and carafes should befilled end candles lit. The mistress whohaj not full confidence of the skill of hermaid should carefully review her table aft-er it is laid to make sure that no'essentialIs missing. As to serving thli meal, themaid should be butraoted to place thesoup tureen with the soup ladle at It*right and warm soup plates a.'' the beadof table, after which she may announcethat "dinner la served." Tho guests seat-ed, the maid uncovers the tureen, placingthe cover on the little side table. The mis-tress places a ladlef ul o( soup In a plateand passes It to the maid, who receives i ton her tray and, going to the right sideof the persoon a t the right of the mistress,places it before him on the cold dinnerplate. Serve guests on one side ot the tableand then the other. The maid removes thetureen first,- then a soup-plate In eaoh bandnntll all are removed. She should take theplates from the right of the guest. Theplatter of flsh and warm flsh plates areplaced before the host, with fish knife andfork to right and left of platter.

In serving the first slice of flsh the maidshould place It before the hostess. Thisraises a mooted point. Tho guest of honorwas usually the person first served, bat Inthese days of Innovations, when new dish-et, strange table Implements and novelmethods of eattag are so In vogue, It hasbeen decided that i t Is best for the hostessto tale the lead, so that t h e n may be nodanger of blunders by uninitiated guests.

The maid places the roast before thehost, with the carving knife and fork andgravy spoon and hot plates. 8he servestie roost as she did the fish. She shouldthen take a vegetable—say, potatoes—onher trey, with Its spoon, and offer to eaohguest at his left. Kaoh vegetable must b>•erred la turn. The removal ot this courserequires carefulness. She should first «ak»tbo carver and fork and gravy spoon onher tray and carry them from the room,tuen the platter and after that the plates,cue in each hand. All crumbs a n careful-ly brushed from the table.

Bho puts the salad fork and spoon in the«1«1 bowl, which she places, with the spl-f l plates, before the host While he Ishelping the first plate she qulokly put* aknife and fork at each place. When the•alad Is removed, the maid must also take•tray the salts and peppers, almonds,olives, etc , and the table again brushed ofcrumbs. The dessert, with its plates, IsPlaced before the hostess, and the personat her right served first. This course re-Moved, the maid places the coffee tray be-fore the hostess and. brings the coffeepot.When the coffee is poured, she serves it,beginning with the guestat the right, andoffers cream and sugar, always at the per-son'*, left. H the.carafes are filled andJothlng else Is needed, the maid may leavetoo room, and the hostess may give herself"p to those delicious 15 minutes over thejonoe which only oome to a woman whoMs achieved that triumph of social art, a"ell prepared and well served dinner,Whether it cost t o or $60.—Philadelphia*resi

BALDNESS.

A Dermatologist Bay! It May Be UnknownIn Another Generation.

Now the real cause of baldness has beendiscovered, and a French dermatologist,Dr. Labourand, suggests a remedy.' Bythe use of this remedy, he says, baldnesscan be prevented, and in the next genera*tlon It may be unknown. >

It has been known for some time amongmedical men that baldness is a disease. Ithas even been supposed to be due to aepeolflo microbe. In fact, such an extraor-dinary amount of evidence in favor ol thetheory has been accumulated that the Ideais now generally accepted. Dr. Labouraid's investigation on the subject has beenexhaustive and of suchaoonoluslve natureas to add heavy re-enforcements to the al-ready eiiptingrolcroblc theory. IIobclloTOSthat the disease Is contagious end that thecause of contagion and the spreading ofmlcrobcB Is due to the barber's instru-ments. Be presents strong evldenoe Insupport of thlB theory.

According to Labourand, the typicaldiseased hair Is found At the edge of aeon-stoutly enlarging bald spot. It is thestump of what was once a long hair. It Isshaped like an interrogation point. Itgrows less In diameter toward the root andlias lost 1(9 color, being either gray orwhite The normal pith canal Is wantingat the root, which Is Itself no longer bulb-ous and hollowed for the papilla, but dis-torted in shape and hardened. Within theroot saoka little bulb may be seen develop-ing If examined under th'e magnifyingglass. It is this which Is said to be thecause of the disease.

In the good hair this bulb or utrloule Isfall and olosed and contain* In its cantercompact dusters of microbes, a oulture ofthe smallest bacillus known., As tho mi-crobe matures it may beoomeone one-hun-'dredth of an Inch In width. • It Is bent orslightly curved In shape, like a comma;blunt at the ends and slightly swollen Inthe center. Each bulb contains millions ofthese bacilli, and to them Is attributed thtcause of baldness. v '-.'

Investigation shows that by the timethe hair is dead and the root and sebaceousgland useless the microbe whloh producedthis effect la gone. Thus remedies appliedto the bald spot In the hope of making hairgrow again are vain, for that glistening',white desert Is totally barren of productiveroots, and the oil saoks are dried forever.

However, the progress of baldness canbe Impeded. This is accomplished by dis-infection of the skin at the edge and in theneighborhood of the patch by means of aneffectual microbe destroying tonlo. '

If the microbe of baldness Is an actualfact, as seems fairly probable, and it theprevalence of the condition Is due to oon-taglon, as is the reasonable and logicaldeduction, boldness can be prevented andthe first stages of the disease arrested byIntelligent treatment. So, in time, bald-ness may disappear from humanity,—Ex-enaeffe.

Sharp legal Fnetlss.A country guest of a certain London ho-

tel, having a dreed of pickpockets, went tothe clerk .and banded him a £20 note toput In the safe. Asking for It next day,he was thundentruok when the functionaryto whom he hod given the money coollydenied any recollection of the matter,whereupon the countryman went to a law-yer. "Get another «20 noto," said thelawyer, "and go, accompanied by a friend,bock to tho hotel. Apologize to the clerkfor your mistake; say It was a defectivememory; attribute Ittoabsentmindedness;deposit the second £20 note In the presenceof your friend and come back to me," Themystified rurallst observed instructions tothe very letter. "Now," said the lawyer,"go book alone to the olerk and ask himfor you? £20 note. Knowing that yourfriend saw bun receive It, he will give yonback the second one. ' Then take yomfriend with you next day, approaoh theclerk, ask him boldly for that £80 note,and, as there was no witness to your re-ceipt of the second note, he will be forcedto return tbatalso." The ruse proved com-pletely successful, much to the gratifica-tion of the countryman Comlo Cut*.

Know the "Small Graoes" of Ufa.Young men should not get the Idea that

to know the "small graces of life" Is use-less or frivolous. What we call the "socialgraoes" are very valuable to a young man.That is the great trouble with young fel-lows who are earnest. They are too ear-nest, and npon all occasions. They can havea high aim In life, a lofty purpose, and yetnot olose themselves up to aU «oolal pleas-ures or amenities. Girls feel uncomforta-ble and pardonably so, when they go to aconcert or any other form ot entertain-ment with a young man who constantlymakes mistakes to little things. Thesmall rules and laws whioh must be ob-served on all Booial occasions are not to befrowned down. They are Jmportont^da young fellow mokes a great mhrtakawhen he considers them beneath him munworthy of his attention.—Edward V.Bok In Ladles' Home Journal.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.A RABBIT SNARE.

It Is Called a Bait Twitch Up, Mid AnyBoy Can Make One.

One of the most effective rabbit snaresfor boy trappers is known as the baittwitch up. It is very simply made, a»fl Ifthere are any rabbits in the neighborhoodwhere It Is Bet up it will certainly catohthem. As you will see In the picture, tht

snare consists of a pen made of smallsticks about a foot high and having anopening on one side about six Inchesacross. In the ploture some of the stloksare shown out off short in order to revealthe Interior of the pen. Over the doorwaya stout twig Is arobed.

Two sticks about ten inches long arewhittled to a point at one end and outsquare at the other. One of them In baitedwith a sweet apple and balanced uprightat the farther side of the pen. The pointot the other stick Is carefully balanoed atthe point of the upright, the other end be-ing placed just under the arch, where It Isheld fast by the noose wire. This noosewire Is fastened to a springy sapling.

When the rabbit sees the apple, he popsthrough the nooBe, but the moment hetouoheB the bait down fall the two stiois,up goes the sapling, and he hi caught inthe noose.—Chicago Becord.

It was at this juncture that the secondrunaway came in, for Eatler's team, fright-ened by tile collision, started off on a run luturn, going pell mell down the street, withthe big wagon to which they were harneeedswaying from Bide to side. Near the Ameri-can House the runaway team encountered ateam belonging to John Marshall, which wasplodding up the bill, and in a trice thn fourhorses went down all in a heap.

, In the dec'arutiun.On the subject of this act the Passaic Bail.

News Bays:"Iu it not high time that tbo libel law ol

New Jersey was modernized end civilizedSuch is the object of House bill No. 27, iutraduced recently by Mr. King, Strange to sajthere is not in Now Jersey a single line olstatutory law on this important subject. \V<are workiug under tho ancient common lavImported from England centuries ago, wheijournalism was regarded with hostility asinvasion of the kingly prerogative. Eve:England has outgrown tbis groundless prejdice. Lord Campbell's act, passed in tbBixth year of Queen Victoria, permits the defendant to plead absence of malice in factand absence of gross negligence, and theprompt publication of an adequate apologyin mitigation of general damages. Threekinds of damages are allowed in the courts ofthis S'ate, punitive, general and actual. Ourjudges hold that mitigatory pleas such aa aroa'lowed under Lord Campbell's act, bar onlypunitive damages, and do not affect the rightof the plaintiff to recover general damages.The very broad definition of the word "general" in vogue- means, simply, that the de-fendant in a libel suit may bo mulcted nBardies? of tho ubsence of all semblance olmalice, and in spite of the prompt retractionof tbe libel The object of bill No. !>7, as willbe observed, la 1 ot to give license to the vinal and reckless disciples of "tbo now journilism," but to protect honest and couscientiouieditors who may innocently print HbelJoimatter. And even tbey will be protectedonly whou they BbalJ have shown an honesidisposition to make all possible amends, amprotected then only from punitive antgeneral damages. The right of tho plain-tiff to recover actual damages la nob tcbe abridged nor should it be. A newspapeishould, of course, pay for the actual injuryinflicts, tbe same as a railr ad corporation oan individual. Neither does the bill attemito curtail the liability of an offending editoito criminal prosecution, It will still leavehim subject to double punishment. Thereprehensible *'new journalls" will, thus,"remain subject to all tbe penalties »t tluancient common law (for retraction is nrp>rtof bis program), while the honest, well-meaning editor is sensibly and justly pro-tected.

41 In most of our enlightened States siuillailegislation exists. New York, Connecticutand Illinois lead. The Connecticut law waspassed in 1855, and is substantially tbe sameas we wa-1.

*' Section 1 of bill No. 27 is a copy of NewYork and Pennsylvania statutes, and is sosimple and desirab'e as to ix-adUy c mmenitself not only to the newspaper fraternity,hut to the general public."

Referee, Ira J. Cos.The game commenced at 3:10 and was very

interesting from tbe start, tha players of bothteams putting up a good game'. * Company Mhad re-enforced their team by adding Hei-man, of the Resolutos, and Mills, the oldCompany M team's rush, while the 0. N. T.'swere strengthened by Hurd, tbe old Tigerplayer. Brown won the ball on the first rushand, together with Hurd and G. Wear,formed a V, taking theba'l in front of Com-pany M'a goal, but Dalzell, playing at cover,was very much alive and he blocked tbe harddrives with ease, and if the ball got by himHeiman was on deck to stop it.': Shanks andJohnson got the ball away and took it downin front of the 0. N. T. goal, but they wereblocked by Moller. The ball got to goingfrom one end ot the floor to the other and theplayers picked out their man and tried todisable him, but no one was hurt TheO. N.T.'s again formed a wedge and before theCompany boyB. realized what was takingplace "Chick" Wear had slammed the ballinto the goal just seven minutes from thetime play began.

Brown won tho second rush and Hurd andWear both tried their hand at driving a goalbut both missed. Shanks, who was playingand passed it to Mills, but he missed a goalan oxcellent game, captured the ballalthough thecoast was clear, no one being be-tween bini and the goal. For the rest of thequarter the game was tame, both sides play-ing for time.

Brown again won therusb, but Shauks tookthe ball away from him ana the fun com-menced. The ball was lost track of in watch-ing the players toss each other around; tooIdes would be made when the ball was no-where near the tackled player, but no foulswere called. Mill was playing a good gameat drive, but his repeated hard drives weroneatly blocked by MoUer and Reeves. Hurdwasn't playiig in his usual good form and hecouldn't fool the "soldier" boys, as-he gener-ally does. Hurd, W."

A Story of Adventure,Peter McLaughlin, who lives near the old

Swede mine, bad an adventure with allegedhighwaymen last Friday night which he willnot BOOH forget. Coming to Dover on Fridayafternoon he struck up a friendship with JohnBarleycorn "with the result that when he gotready to start for home he was so badly fud-dled that he wondered up Morris street in-stead of going la the opposite1 direction.When about opposite Park avenue he mottwo men driving up the street in a buck-board, one of whom avked him if he wanteda ride. McLaughlin accepted tbe invitationand climbed onto the back of tho wagon.Everything went well until the party reachedthe foot of Munson Hill, whon the driver hitthe horae with bis whip, and the sudden startthrew McLaughlin into the road. He Btruckon his head and knew nothing more until hecame to his sen&te the next morning andfound himself still lying In the roadway, butwith his pockets rifled of money and watch.Returning to Dover he told his story to Chiefof Police Hagan and said that the last manhe remembered seeing was Thomas Atkins.Just as he mentioned the name Atkins wasseen passing the lock-up and the Chief wentto the door and called out: "Atkins, whatdid you do with that watch 3" Atkins re-plied : " Never mind, he'll get his old watch.Atkins is something of a sprinter and tbeChief knew that he could not catch him then,so he went in and got a revolver and Batdown by the window and watched for Atkins,who soon returned. The chief then went tothe door again and called out, "Atkins Iwont you." Thomas seemed to hesitate andthe chief cocked the revolver, when Atkinswalked up the stairs and Info the chief's room" like a little man," as the chief puts it. Byquestioning Atkins the chief learned thnt hoand *'A1." Vonderhoof, a "bad mtm" whoboats on the' Morris canal during the mm-mer, had robbed McLac^hlin. Atkins waslocked up and the" chief went out and gotVanderhoof. Recorder Brown held bothmen, without boil, for the Grand Jury. Mc-Laughlin, who bad a deep gosh on his fore-head, was sent to hlshome. The stolen prop-erty was recovered. This Is the first highwayrobbery reported from the Third Ward.

Some Reflections on Gas, Eto,Consistency, thou art a jewel, but thy name

is not David Spencer. With a view to In-fluencing the readers of the Morris Journalagainst the proposed gas plant Editor Spen-cer recently rejjubliatied from the New YorkSun a story of some forty deaths caused iaBoston during a certain period of time bygas. The New York Sun yesterday containeda story of the killing of a child by the trolleyIn the city of Brooklyn, remarking that itwas tii9 115th fatal trolley accident In thatcity. Yet Editor Spencer recently warmlyadvocated the introduction of the trolley inDover. I t will be seen from this that theJournal's argument against gas is a two-edged argument, but logic never was EditorSpencer's forte.

To the logical mind it will at once be plainthat the Boston story above referred to is noton argument againBt the use of gas; nor tbeBrooklyn story an argument against the trol-ley, any tnjre than the story of the meadowdisaster of several years ago was au argu-ment against the running of railroads, how-ever much each story may show the need ofproper Bafeguerda.

The same is true of the stories one readsalmost doily about deaths and fires caused bythe careless -stringing of electric light wires.They do not furnish an argument for theabandonment of electric lighting, but Blmply

serve to show tho need of greater care, andthe great danger from overhead wires.

The best arguments for the establishment ofa gas plant in thia city ore furnished by theDover Etectrfc Light Company itself. Forinstance : A much wrought up tradesmanthe other day Informed the EEU that his billfor electrio lighting for December, 1890,H(l. 24; while for the corresponding monthof the previous year it was only $7.03, thenumber of lights used having been the samefor each month.

Another local tradesman said to the ERA :If we don't get gas pretty loon X shall go

back to tbe use of oil lamps as the cost ofelectric lighting is mounting up to such anextent that I can't utand it.

Hore ia anothor argument for competitionin lighting: A Btore keeper on Blackwellstreet, who has sixteen Id candle power lightsin his Btore and several besides about binpremises, which he burns only as occasionrequires, and whose electrio light bill for thepost twelv* months -was slightly under 1110,wrote to W. F. Howell, of Newton, inquir-ing about the cost of electric lighting in thatplace. Following is the reply he received ;"We contracted for sixteen 10 candle powerlights and two 82 candle power lights to burnall the time ; five 15 candle power lights inbasement and three 10 candle power lightson second floor, to be used only as wanted, at&5 per month.. We get firstrclass service.This p. u., which, as you know, was not adark day, Btarted at 4 o'clock : on very darkdays at S;15 to 8:30 p. H,, all night lightingand until 8 o'clock in the morning. Hopethis will be of service to you," etc.

There we have it. While W. F. Howellpays $00 for sixteen 10 candle power and two82 candle power lights to burn all the time,our Dover storekeeper payB $103 for sixteen16 candle power lights, five of which he burnsonly as he needs the light, tUo lights in thobasement and upper floors of either store be-ing turned on only now and then. Smallwonder that the Dover storekeeper is in favorof the establishment of a gas plant.

But the electric light editor, full of guile,suggests that the electric light oompany is ahome corporation, and the wicked gas peoplaare<lfurriners," It were well, the ERA opines,If the eleotria light people weraalao "furri-ners," for then the people of Dover would notbe BO likely to pm! up with high prices andinadequate service, as they have done allthese years,

But Manager David Young, of the DoverElectrio L'ght Company, hae himself furnish-ed a solution to the problem now before thepeople. He has stated in public that he wouldbe willing to give $5,000 for a gu franchise.TbiB furnishes a cue on which the City Coun-cil might act. Let an ordinance bt drawnwith hard and fast provisions as to construc-tion of plant, time of completion of the work,restoration of the streets after pipes are laid,quality of gas to be furnished, and price—Ina word—just about fiuch a franchise as theDover Qas, Light, Heat and Power Companyask for, and then solicit bids. This will giveeverybody a chance and Dover can choosethe best that may be offered.

String-en'; Excise Ordinance.At a meeting of the Board of Excise held

on Tuesday evening an excise ordinance of asomewhat sUingent character was put on itsfirst readin;;. The meeting was presided overby Mayor Wolfe, who drafted the ordinance,which he'jaid was "just, fair and equitable,",and whf ,*h was thereupon read "for informa-tion." Tho Mayor was nothing loath andand a'j onoe put a motion to that effect, whichwas'Carried, upon which Clerk Baker pro-ceeaed to read the ordinance. When the lat-tev got through with it, Mayor Wolfe ex-pjained that under the law no further action•jould be taken in the matter until the nextmeeting. He again assured the board thatthe ordinance was "entirely fair and in ac-cordance with the law" and expressed thehope that the board would "soon get togetherand finish up, in fairness to the board thatwill succeed us."

Commmlsstoner Kanouse didn't look at thematter in the same light and suggested thatthe matter be left to the new board, whomight not like the provisious of the proposedordinance. .

Commissioner Drummer questioned theutility of a clause in the ordinance which pro-vides "that all screens, blinds or such otherthings as would obstruct from public viewtbe interior of a bar room, saloon, Bhop, storeor cellar where spirituous,vinouB.malt or fer-mented liquors are sold from without Bball beremoved." and the Mayor defended the clauseBaying. "It would be just like any other buBi-ness; we don't have Btores blinded, and itwould be just so much more convenient forthe police to BOS If there are any violations ofthe law. and a mother, if she wants to see herboy"

"He would hide if he didn't want to beseen,1' interposed Commissioner Drummer,'He would get away from tbe bar."Commissioner Kanouae again suggested the

propriety of leaving the whole matter as alegacy for the new board to wrestle with, andthe Mayor reminded him that tbe City Coun-cil was t-till passing ordinances, and explainedtbe delay in bringing forward the ordinanceby saying that the board had been obliged toawait the action of the City Council in orderthat the action of both bodies might harmon-ize.

Commissioner Hagan remarked that be didnot know that a saloon keeper could be modeto remove blinds or screens during the hours-WIIQD it was lawful to eoll liquor and Com-missioner Drummer again expressed hisdoubts as to the utility of the measure, saying;'If a man wants a drink he'll RO and get i*.n

The ordinance further provided for theclosing of saloons, inns and taverns, etc.,hotels excepted, at 10 o'clock, but the Mayorexplained that the time bad only been pen-cilled in and he would not insist upon thathour. After some further discussion theboard adjourned to make room for the CityCouncil, which body was booked to meet at8 o'clock.

A clause in tho ordinance decrres that allbars shall be closed on Memorial Day, andanother provides that applications for hotellicenses shall bo signed by twelve residentfreeholders, and applications for saloon licen-ses by ten resident freeholders *'who have notsigned another petition or license." The li-cense fee for hotels, saloons and inns andtaverns 1B fixed at $200. and for bottling es~t b l h t a at $159.

[Spociol Cirr«?spond«nce.1TRESTOX, Feb. 8J.—Tho adjournment

of thesenato this week without action upontho Jerioy City and Newark election billprobably settles tho fate of that measure.There la coiiflfrjuout pimBhiug of teethamong the practical polltlciiins of the up-per end of tho state and grant joy amongthose who believe Republican aswmdency1B to be maintained by other moiina thanpartiean legislation. Major Carl Lenz ofNewark and Colonel Sain Dickinson orJersey City are tho two political warriorswho conceived tho election blll.and, thoughthey at first talked loudly of tho economyto be effected by holding the municipaland general elootinns tojrother in the fall,they admitted when cornered that it waschiefly a name of politics. The purposewaB to prevent the slaughter which the in-dependent Toter sometimes oocasloDBwhenbe goes to the polls at a purely local elec-tion. On such ocoiislons polltlca with himli a seoondiiry consideration. What hewants, first of all, is to linve the affairs ofhie city or town managed by ft set of offi-cials who are above reproach. Tills atateof mind Is very nggrnvjittng to the "ma-chine" and upsets political schemes ovorynow and then. At the [ onoral election, inthe fall, the voter does not Bran the indi-Tlduul character of thuonndhiatos HO olose-ly. He Is more of a pnrfcisini then and Isopt to go his party tlulcct hlin.t. It waswith a knowledge of these facts that Colo-nel Dickinson and Major honz framed tlioponding bill, and they ruiiicdit throughthe assombly with butlittlo fuss. On com-ing to tbo senate, howavor, they foundtheir economy argument smiled at andtheir political presaure frowned down. Thebearing beforo the eonate committee nhow-©d plainly that Senator Voorheoa was op-posed to this class of legislation, and otherRepublican senators have since followed Inbis wake. Tho failure to get the bill outof committee and pnssad this wook Is un-derstood to mean that It 1B a dead cook Inthe pit

X^Kl'lMtlon Still Drag*.The senate again adjourned Tuesday

afternoon this week, despite tho protest oftwo or three of the more Industrious mem-bers. Although tho assembly stayed a daylonger little work was accomplished thereeither. Next week will be another wator-haul doubtless, as many of the lawmakerswill bo off to Washington to attend the In-augural. That will make eight weoka ofthe session, with next to nothing done bytfae legislature. How much longer willthe session lastf Is beginning to be the in-quiry. The prospects are that 10 or 11weeks at the outside will wind up the win-ter's work and that the sum total of newlaws will be smaller than for any sessionin a long number of years.

This week Senator Knbl Introduced byrequest a constitutional amendment pro-Tiding for the initiative and referendumIn New Jersey. The purpose is to give the•lectors the right to suggest new laws dlrectly to the legislature and to pass uponmeasures that have been enacted by thelegislature. This amendment involves ascheme that has been freely discussed andrejootfd by past legislatures.

Senator Johnston's railroad commissionbill was reported with amendments thisweek. Tbeamendinents make no materialchange In the bill. *

There was a spirited scene in the senateMonday night when Senator Daly tried tohare a resolution adopted censuring JudgeJoseph H. Gasklll of Burlington countycourts for appearing in tho cbnraoter oflobbyist and counsel for the Pennsylvaniarailroad at a committee hearing last weekon the bicycle baggage bill. PresidentWilliamB did not permit more than two orthree lines of the resolution to be read,when he declared It outof order. SenatorDaly olaimed that the president, not hav-ing heard the resolution read, could notproperly soy it was out of order, and betherefore appealed from the decision of thechair. Senator Yoorhees took the chair toput the appeal, when Senator Daly triedto work In a speech, but was outgeneraledby the parliamentary tactics of the Repub-lican majority. Thoohalr's dooinlonwaisustained, with only Senator Daly In thenegative.

The Inuinnt BUI.Those who favor a Jersey military rep-

resentation at Washington on inaugurationday rallied their foroes this week androuted the champions of economy horseand foot It was a great triumph for Sen-ators Parry, Knhl and other rural repre-sentatives last week when they accom-plished tbo defeat of the 17,500 appropria-tion for the trip, but Monday night Sen-ator Voorhees pat In a now bill for thesame amount, and on Tuesday he called 1<np for final passage. Senators Parry andKuhl spoke against the expense as unwar-ranted and unprecedented. When SenatorVoorheoi reminded thorn of the fact thata Jerseyman was to be the coining vioepresident, Senator Kuhl replied that otherstates had been similarly honored In thepast, and yet he defied anybody to showthnt thin had led In any case to sendingatato troops to tho Inauguration.

Senators Ketchara, Reed, Daly and othe n favored tho bill on the ground of statepride and explained that It was not ex-pressly as a bodyguard to the vice presl*dent that the troops wore going, but asa Jersey representation at the Inaugu-ration of President Kleot MoKlnley. Thebill then passed, with only Senators Bar-ber, Kuhl and Parry against i t

Later In the day It was taken up In thehouse under suspension of the rules andwas passed, 86 to IS. Thoso In the nega-tive were Messrs. Bowers, Crispon, Flum-xnerfelt, Harrison, Law'she, Lloyd, Mao-Arthur, Kelson, Powers, Yon Dbren, Wat*kins and Wildes. Mr. Wildes wanted thebill amended so a* to provide thnt the appropriation should ba deducted from tbannual appropriation for the Sea Girt en-campment Mr. Dorousso warmly oham-ploned the bill.

SENATOR PAJtJtr'8 1HJ.L 1'JtO-i'OSt TWO HOA11D8.

MR- niCIIAUDS'S LETTER.

TO THE EDITOH OF THE TRIBUNE:—

Since my attention has been called to sev-ral newspaper statements which attempt to

set forth my position relative to Senate billNo. 75, introduced by Senator Parry, of Burl-

igton county, I hive thought it proper tomake public my opinion of it. Thia bill pro-ides for the creation of two boarda of man-

igement for tbe State hoepita s for the iusaue,superseding tbe one board which now hascontrol of both hospitals One board for tbewo hospitals came into existence by legisla-

tive enactment after years of trial of separateboards. The new board found two hospitalscommitted to Its care which bad been con-tructed and were being maintained by tbe

State for one and the saaie purpose, but theiws and by-laws of tbe one widely differed

in character from those under whiub tbeitlier was operated.

The difference In internal government, bothin the medical aud buBin ss departments, ofthese two hospitals was at once manifest, andit became evident that BB far as practicabletheir management should be made uniform,and tbo best poIuU of ench should be intro-duced and established in tbo other to tho bet-terment of both. Acting upon this principle,he administration of tbe complex internal

workings of both hospitals has become moreVBtematic and satisfactory, and the Btauding

ot both hospitals has been thereby elevated.The keeping of the books of the business de-

partments of both hospitals has been simpli-fied and made uniform, so that they may beeasily examined and tbe expenditures, re-ceipts, etc,, readily compared. Rules andregulations havo boon oatabUnhed which haveenabled the management to deal with muttersof like import in tbe two hospitals with dis-patch and equal justice to both.

I may t-ay right here that when the opera-tions of one hospital cannot bo made to stand

j and rigid comparison with the other,both as to tbe character of their medicalwork and the methods used in tbe carryingout of tbe various business operations, theremedy called for is nob to esta*-l<Bh a sort ofmanagement which will free- either one bosiltol or the other from the probability of close

comparison by giving tfaem scparute and die-tiuct boards, but it is the plain duty of theone board to see at all times that the workingsof every department of both hospitals arebrought up to the proper standard. Ths veryintimation that local business advantages toconcerns near these hospitals that cannotBtand a healthful competition is to be con-templated In legislation ostensibly In ihd in-terests of the hospitals tendu t* disgust thebest citizens Iu every part of the Btute.

Tbe importance of running both hospitalsupon the same principles arid with uniformrules aud regulations ia evident. Under the

IWB the Board of Managers of tbe State hos-pital is made a de facto Board of Lunacy,with the power to issue licenses to private in-stitutions for the insane, and with a autw-vlslon over the couu-y lustltutions tbro 4hout the state. Jn the discharge of these f unctlonB it is clear that the two boards are unde-sirable.

In view of the fact that the two hospitals wereprobably never in better condition than theyare to-day, and were never conducted in atnanuer more satisfactory to tbe pujbllc atlarge, it seems to me extremely unwise thatlegislative tampering with them should beagitated or encouraged. Except more forci-ble reasons be given to justify tbe passage ofthe bill than have bcou given, its passage wilbe attended with injurious effect upon thehospitals. If, ai stated, It Is for the conven-ience of some of the members of tha boardwho dislike to travel on hospital business th«distance between the two hospitals, ic wouldlook as ia our Legislature were at a loss forlegislative material if they can spend timeand energy in enacting laws to meet suchtrivial complaints, and especially since nomember of the board is compelled to retainhU position if Its duties prove i oo onerous ordistasteful to htm.

It has been rumored that local mercan illinterests are behind the bill. IC there be ushadow of truth ba this my disiproval of thebill is increased. No State institution shouldbe prostituted to such ends, either by legisla-tion or otherwise. Only absolute uprightnessIn i he purchasing < f tbe supplies of our Btatinstitutions Bhould be countenanced by tbpublic at large. '•

One board is fully capable of performingall the duties which devolve upno ft, aud theunwillingness of any member of the board toassume the full responsibilities of his positionand carry to faithful performance the dutieswhich rest u on him, 1B far from being a dig-nified or valid excuse for legislative actionand the consequent disorganizing influencesupon tho work of the hospitals.

Inasmuch as the public has made no com-plaint relative to the management of the twhuBpitala by the one board, and since thivoice of the press—that ever-watchful censoiof public servants—has been unanimous in Itapproval, the Introduction of a bill to dlvldthe responsibility and bring about a reorgau:zatlon of work tbat ia already properly organized and moving on hi a satfefactor,mauner at once creates a feeling of difltmcat tho motives underlying the movement.Tho reasons which have been given to Justifythe enuctment of this bill fall t i uppeal lo tbtreas ning mind, and fall far short of c nvinc-ing anyone who may give the matter carefulthought that It lias been brought forward foithe purpose of advancing the Interests of tbttwo hospitals. Sooner or later tho true reasons for the introduction of the bill will flntheir way to the surface, and I predict publicondemnation will follow. As president oftho board I shall make no flght against Itpassage, but I wish to record my disapprovalof a bill with so little merit, and for whichthere 1B no demand which will bear analysis.

Doyer, Feb. 20.

Yours truly,GEORGE RICHARDS.

KKV. MB. BUCKLEY'S LETTER.Three j earsugo, though occupied with other

matters, I accepted au unsought position onthe Bourd of Mauugers with i o other motive;hau to promote the welfare of the insane and,he interests and honor of my native Bute.?iie eame motives lead me to doubt the wis-loin of tho proposal to roturu to the formerilan of two boards.

In a large State, such as New York, localsanJa are necessary beeiuise of the number

if their institutions aud their distance fromii other; but to correct abuses of various

:Inds it has been found necessary to have aState Board of Lunacy. New Jersey is amall State, having but two State H epitals;jy wise management no loo.-e will ever I*nee \sary; a State Board of Lunacy thereforewou.i be a superfluity.

Gradually the Legislature bos placed upontbe Board of Managers of the State Hospitalsthe function* of suck a Board. Their duties

e to manage the two Hospitals at Tren on.id Morris Platne, to inspect all county iustiitfoim reviving aid from the State, and to

•L'portto'he Legislature such chuugesas iutheir judgment snould bo made. It ia OIBObuelr duty to examine and license all estab

ihmeuts in which the insane are treated,ind to annually inspect the ioBtitutions and•enew thoir licenses. Thus the present Boardas nearly all the powers of a State Board ofiimacy.Some of tbe reasons why the present system

if one Board flhoul be maintained are:

1. By a Mingle Board experiments cau betried in one Hospital and if found successfulcau be introduced into tho other. Continualultui-atious and improvements are beiug madein the method., of treating the insane. In theconstruction of buildings, and in everythingrelated to the subject. With a unified man-agement such methods as are approved eonbe introduced and Intelligently modified,whereas with two Boards, not acquainted

ith the proceedings or possessed of the orperlence of the other, this could not be done.Neither Hospital could loam anything ofalue from the experiences of tbe other.This Is especially important, as may he seen

'rom the fact that the tendency Iu all Insti-tutions loft to themselves us they grow old isto got into ruts. The longer the ofllcers havebeen in charge, the greater this dange- be-comes; and as the ofllcers outlive the mem-bers of the Board new members coming inconstantly, the more dilllcult i t is to makeany changes. "Under the operation of this

rinciple, there are asylums In the UnitedStates today far behludthe age, r-Hootingno credit upon the States which maintainthem.

2. The institutions in the Btateof New Jer-sey are how conducted upon the iion-partbanidea. For the three yoars that I bave beenconnected with the Poard of Managers 1 havesen no indication of a disposition to ditrc

gard that principle.

It is obvious that non-partisan principlescau be batter maintained with one Boardthau with two. For with one Board eachmember is cognizant of all that Is going onf there were two, it is easily conceivable

that one might be non-partisan iu Its manage-ment, and theother partisan; especially whenme of theBtati Hospitals is located a t the

capital where all partisan lufluences naturallynd properly come into competition.3. A single Board for both institutions tends

to prevent local complications. It is obviousthat an Immense amount of business is to bedone in tbe locality where an Institution iasituated, and tbat competition for the patron-age of the house in various wayaia intense.It Is clear that a certain number of eachBoard must be t»>n active managers of suchquestions. Thus a comtnltteeongroundsambuildings, including a minority of tfae mem-bers of the whole board, would have an ad-vantage, and must have a large influenceover all transactions. From tbii may growlocal complications of a serious character.Participation ia the management of both instltutions "ill give tho muiubers such knowl-edge of all things going on as to relieve Iblocal committee in charge of a disagreeableresponsibility which they would bave to bearif there were one board for each institution.

I assume that a statement of this is suffi-cient. If ib were not I could furnish aa abund-ance of evidence and proof that local influ-ences have sometimes so captured and con-trolled local Boards as to make it equivalentto serious alienations to decide no longer tcpatronize particular business firms or estab-ments; that difflcult'es have arisen und rsuccircumstances that have finally involved aState in a partisan war over the managementof such institutions. But they can neverreach such proportions when the Board con-sists of persons selected from all parts of th«State instead of from that port only of whichthe particular Hospital is said to be the center*

4. The State of New Jersey is trying a versdelicate and difficult experiment, which is notregarded with favor by most superintendentsof Institutions for the insane, and which doesnot exist In more than two or three of tbeStates of the Union, and is wholly disapproviin Europe, namely: the separation of the man-agement of the establishment into the medi-cal and business departments, Such a systemmay be proved to be of great value; but I as-sure the committee that It cannot ordinarily,if ever, be so under a system of local Boards.Tbe points of Irritation that will naturallyexist between the business and medical de-partments are numerous, and are such asthese: The business department wishes tomake 'he institution pay; the medical de-partment considers the needs of the Insane,and the best way to manage the Institutionwith reference to the greatest percentage ofcures. The husiness departtne thas entirecharge of the boarding arrangements for themedical departing t, producing a kind ojurisdiction which makes quite pos ible countless causes of irritation when i t Is consideredthat tho families f the medical stall residela the Institution. The manner of serving,and the preparations- of special diet—* ve:important' element in the treatment of theinsane—also makes possible such difficulties.If special diet Is not promptly deliverediu a sivory condition grumbling and difficult.]of all sorts la tbe result. Betides in the ap-pointment of work to inmates, the employ*of the Warden and of the Medical Director—who must superintend the attendants—maycome into collision. Also everything that hasto bu purchased under the orders of the Medi-cal Director must be purchased by the War-den, -who has an independent authority. In-deed the opportunities for friction originatingon both sides are apparent, and tbe proven-

6tam of two Leads instead of one was ta-•oduced grew out of difficulties between tb*texlical Director and the Warden. There:ere tbcu two Boards as it Is proposed in thisill Over the Board having charge of theorrisPlftUisinBtituUoa the Wantoo obtainedpeculiar ascendency. Without Implying

sparagemeut of particular members of pre-.ding Boards, it would be almost or quite^possible for sticb difficulties to occur in aon-partisan Board selected from all parts of

the State. With a local Board, a Warden orMedical Director, may so build himself up,socially, politically, through vari-us agencies,

ind especially through Ins dealings with theeople, tbat it would make it impossible to

remove him by tbo action of a lw»l Boardwithout producing strained pars nal relationsof various kinds; and yet it might be mostmportant that be should be removed. . I

could give an Instance from another StaUwhere a dissolute Medical Director retainedhis position for many years in this «ay to thecaudal of tbe State throughout i s own hord-

and largely throughout the Union; and_it while H minority of th»Bonrd understood;he matter and desired' removal. By means)f a single Board &uch a removal could be ef-ected when it became obviously necessary.

On the other band local influences haveseen and may b° used to secure tbe removal>f & rujst efficient man, thoroughly competentnit against whom some prejudice, perhaps;he result of the proper exercise of discipline

i the Institution, may have been created.5 I t becomes neces-ary from time to time

lorthe institut'omto appeal to the Legisla-ture for large pecuniary aid, and maybe otmy time. It is extremely diffli-ult to guardInstitutions for the insane against the ravages

flre, When it is considered tbat Insaneconvicts and criminals are kept iu those Instl-tuti ns—a disgrace to modern civilization

ith their criminal Instincts and their peculiarcriminal Ingenuity which continues after theyare Insane, it is clear that both for recon-struction and for other causes the LegislatureIs liable to be appealed to at any time. Withtwo Boards the eoastaut temptation wouldbe to put one Institution against the other.But with one Board having tbe interests ofboth in view, only those ep.eals would bemade that were most necessary, and not morethan one would be made in tho same period.One of tbe causes of the establishment of theState Board of Lunacy in the State of NewYork was that the Legislature was besiegedsome times by three or four institutions -iathe same year for money.

There is a cor rent example la point. Im->rovements were necessary at tbe institutionit Trenton, but the excessive crowding nt theInstitution a t Morris Plains and the conse-quence of it caused tbe present Board, aftera full consideration, to conclude that theclaims of the latter institution Bhould be pro-sen ted first, and In this conclusion there wasunanimous occurrence. If there had beentwo Boards, demands for funds would havecome from both; log-rolling would bave beenibsolutely necessary, and the Btron< party

would have won or both would have been cuiff with an insufficiency.

I desire to say that all the practical bensfits of two Boards now txist. The manager*residing nearest each asylum keep a carefuleye upon the needs thereof, and their judg-ment Is practically deferred to except ia largescheraei iu which their knowledge Is reliedupon in great measure. The law protects thins itutiona in every particular. Less thanthree cannot hold an ordinary monthly meet-ing, and there must be five to expend anyamount above five hundred dollars. I t wouldof course be easier for a member of the Boardto have to attend to the affairs of but oneinstitution; but It will be twice as difficult tofind sixteen suitable men as it (B to find right.By reference to the records It will be fouithat a remarkable average of attendance atthe meetings for t e last three ye»m baa pre-vailed.

It is also the habit if for any cause there Isnot a full representation of the managers re-siding near to tbe hospital whose affairsunder consideration topostp>ne other thanroutine matters to the next meeting. I t Ismy belief that a broad and comprehensivesystem is impossible with two Boards; thattwo Boards would Und, wherever they differin judgment, and wherever they introducedifferent methods, to promote jealousy andsuspicion of both; tbat It is wisdom for theState to maintain the present ByBtem and toadd to the powers of the Board as may belecessary until i t is constituted practically

State Board of Lunacy. The result will thenbe uniformity of practice, wise improvementsiu the laws will be suggested, a canter of re-sponsibility created, the interests of the Stateand the welfare of the insane conserved.

I beg to call your attention to the fact thaithe present system was adopted to put an eito confusion and difficulty which had existedfor some years. It has now been tried buithree years. It has made many improvement!medically, financially, agricultural and in th<condition of the grounds and buildings, fevof which have cost the State anything, tcept the large building now in progressMorris Plains.

It is well known that for a number of yeathe institution at Morris Plains was conUmally agitated, and that there were four Medi-cal Directors in a very few years, and thatthe institution was then governed for a considerable time by vtho first assistant.

Among tliu ninny lines of thought alongWell tbe incident leads us in illustration of

H* ire choose this for our topic now—the1OTitnB,slinwl in failure, or "The Blessingla Failure." Each man's lot has its shareof failure. For failure is a thing of allkinds""1 til-grew, from the most fanciful tothe most weighty—from theloss of his fortunebf the business man to the chagrin of theSunday K'lwo' teacher who sees all his dossdisdaining oil his instruction j from tho inab-ility of tl"> rhristlan to reach his Idea ofsalntlinw, to the vain struggles of the many]i by evil bablt to break its bonds; fromthB disappointment that worries for a momentm tho blow which apparently crushes allstrength nnil hope out of life. Yet failure issaddening, however it come, and even the(lightest is not desired by us. Can any honeybe found in this carcass I Is there any blen-Ing stored up in our failures 1

I remark Hint failure is often a discipline hipatience. Our work must of ten bo of the natureol seed-sowing. And sowing time Is burialtime, "Except a seed fall Into the ground anddie, It abidetu alone, but if It die it bringetbforth much fruit." While In the ground theteed is bid, aud the sower must wait patientlyuntil tbo soil and rain and beat have had timetodotbelr work upon It. Waiting is ono ofthe forum of divine discipline to which wefind it imnl to become, accustomed to. Butwaiting Is something which every worker hasto do. And "they also serve who only standand wait." Tho farmer is as true to his call-ing in waiting as in sowing and harvesting.."Many men," eoys Longfellow, "do not allowtbelr principles to take root, .but pull them upevery now and then, as children do flowerswhich they havo planted, to see if they arerrowhig." "Patience," it fa slid, "changestbe mulberry leaf to satin." "Oaks that flour'fsli for a century do not spring into beautylike a reed.'1 We must not only work, buttrait. We may not be able to see the outcomeof our work for long and weary years. Butwe ore not to judge it a failure on tbat ac-count, nor even if we never see the outcome.David Livingston died in Africa, a broken-hearted man. His biographerBays: "Duringill bis life be bad been sowing bis seed weep-ing, but so far was he from bringing backbis ineaves with rejoicing that the longer heoVed the more cause there was for bis tears.In opening Africa he had seemed to open itforbrotaJ slave traders, and in the-only, in-rUnce in which he had yet brought to it 'thofeet of men beautiful upon the mountainspublishing peace, disaster bad fallen. Aftert»'nty-tbrea years ot labor ho wrote: "Bytin failure of tbe Universities Mission mywork seems vain. No fruit likely to comefrom MolTat's Mission either. Have I notlabored In vain i" Oh, brave, patient, self-Kcrldclngnian 1 If tbou loosest down to-dayupon the Dork Continent, trodden everywhereby missionary's feet and illuminated alonggreat tracts by the power of the. cross, thyquestion is answered—"Not in -vain, not invain." We must make a distinction betweenrecognition of our work and results in ourwork. There may be results without recog-nition. Mot every worker is given the doubleJoy of work and applause too. The anonym-ou heroes are in the majority. Many a oneriiohasdouo good worJt bos been lost in tbe«owd, bis name unknown, his deed unrecog-nized. Many a one has. made an impressionfor eternity upon the hearts and lives underbis influence, who wasnotevenhnns'lf aware,lite Moses, tbat his face shone, or like theApostle, that hiTgajmenta emitted healing.T"» best worker In be who goes on doing hisfork, oven though be does not see, and maynot tope to see, remits. A t least, he is themost deserving worker and he is the one whogets the most for himself out of his work. Alltto nhile bo is ripening in character andbeing disciplined in patience and beingfraigtbened in Bpirlt. His very failures holphta to he, which is even better than beinghelped to do. He learns that

Defeat, accordtng to Thiers, is

Wa a m TO£ul than viototy. A dlstui-

guuhed investigator in scieoce has testifiedthat whea he encountered an apparently lu-superable obstacle, he usually found himselfupon tbe brink of some discovery. It reallyseems as if whon God wants some special Ber-vlce from us, He shuts up the path to everyother work, lays defeat upon us in everyother purposa of ours, and then draws us,tired aud discouraged, to what shall be thejoy and strength of our life ever after. Themechanic, perhaps, r-ould do no much betteras a minister, the minister an a merchant, themerchant as a statesman, the statesman as apoet, the poet as a teacher. There are somany mialita In life. There are so many doingpoorly what they ought nover to have triedto do at all. God sends failure that the 111-mated man and his work may secure a div-orce, and tho man find his true work.

Failure arouses greater energy. WhileIt is true that if one has failed In one place itmay be a sign to him to lift the axis of hisactivity to another plane, yet one should beslow about giving up anything which he hasundertaken. The better way may he to putmore determicatlon in what ho is doing.Whon one asked a great captain to lend hisBworrt, l>y which many victories bad h'onwon, the groat captain said, "It is not thesword, but the arm that wields it." Often,what is needed in order to achieve is onlymore vigor. And the true man will lookupon defeat as simply a call to more vigor."Then I must learn to Blng better," saidAnaxlmander, when told that the very boyslaughed at his singing.. "The day 1B comingwhen you shall listen to me," said Disraeli,when after his fh-Bt attempt at oratory he satdown amid htaes. And it did. Whon Peterthe Great's immense army had been utterlyrouted by 20,000 Swodes, Peter said, "I knowwoll that these Swedes will beat un for a longtime, but at last they will teach us how toconquer." And it was so. From that defeatthe military greatness of RuBsia was born,for from that day Petor began the work ofdrilling his half-savage hordes into soldiers.

"Bvery man who makes a fortune has beenmore than once a bankrupt, if the truth wereknown," Bays Tourgee. Their failures havebeen a spur to goad them to greater effort.Every time Antemus was thrown to theground, contact with his mother earth re-newed his Btrength. The greatest glory jg notin never falling, but in rising every time wefall. Not to err at all In tho conduct of ourlives fs to prove that we are either more orless than men. Never to fail is to prove thatwe have never tried 'o do anything worth thedoim;. Failure is as much a part of theBtruuvure we are all building as success Is,Because we have not reached what we wouldlike to be in faith and holIneBS and usefulness,thai; is no reason why we should not keep ontrying. No man has a right to stagnate. Themost fatal thing to excellence Is to let go one'sideal. If one only keeps that, then no rnatterwhat disappointments or failures come, thereis hope for him. For that will keep him everstriving, that will ever lure him onward, asthe star in the East led the Magi until theystood over tbo Babe of Botblebom, Thetemptations of life, the obstacles in the wayof doing others service, the indifference ofmon, the enmity of the world, the weaknessesof the flesh, these things we cannot get rid of.If for success we wantsmooth sailing we mustfind some other life. G d puts us down amidthese opposing elements in order that we maybattle with them a'td overcome them, and BOpro ve worthy of Him and of ourselves."Then welcome each rebuffThat turns earth's smoothness rough,Fach sting, that bids not sit nor Btand, but

to."

FaUure, or what appears as such,may be, in reality, success. Look at Paul,He is a prisoner at. Borne. There Is no oneto share his loneliness save the faithful Luke.He la penniless. The bitter persecution by£fero of thb Christians has brought the exist-ence of the infant church, established byFaul,into peril It looks es if his labors and self-denials and journeyings and preachlngB andwriting have all been a failure. Yet fromthis imprisoned and feeble old man there is-sues forth tnls Bhout of vhrory: "I havefought agood light, Ibaveilnlshed my course,I have kept the faith. Henceforth there islaid up for me a crown of righteousness."The world would have judged him defeated.The world would have said: "Nero, yonder,sitting on his world-throne, 'summing up inhis own person the might of legions invin-cible,'living in tho very paradise of luxuriousvice and guilty Bplendor, 'the deified autocratof Paganism,' was the' sucoessf ul man. Yet,iu reality, it was he who had failed, miser-ably failed. And it is Paul, lying thenchained in his dungeon, whose crown is to goon shining and whose work is to go on spread-ing when Nero is forgotten and his palaco luashes and his paganism swept from earth.But, chteBy, there Is Christ. For a briefthirty-three years he had lived. For abriefer three years he had labored andpreached. Aud tne end Is Calvary I A con-demned man, between two thieves, he diesthe most horrible and moat humiliatingdeath. What had he dons 1 A few discipleshad gathered around him, but now even theywere utterly heart-broken. What impressionhad he made upon his times, upon bis nation 1"The rising of a British tribe, the discoveryof some unheard of bird or beast," would havebeen deemed as of more significance than theannouncement of Jesus' birth. The world hadBhut its doors against him. His own peoplehad rejected him and crucified him. If in allthe earth there was a defeated man it was,apparently, Jesus of Nazareth dead on Cal-vary. And yet, and yet, Christ to-day is themost potent factor in the world's history."The Btream of bla thought bus been enrich-ing oenturies: the sound of his voice has neverdied away j the whole sweep of our civiliza-tion has been played upon, awakened and in-formed, wrought over from its first estate,and, in spite of continuous resistance,charged wilh tho power of Christ."Whether one be a. believer or not hecannot refuse to admit that Christ baabeen the mightiest Conqueror that evermoved earth's empires off their hinges."The witness of history to Christ is that fromthe now when he died until now he has beencleansing the life and elevating the BOUI ofhumanity. Alexander the Great, as hi acyclone march, swept with his victoriousarmies from Hellespont to Himalaya, dream-ing to form a world empire. The unseen butrisen and glorified Nauarene, Jesus, has builtup an Empire beside whibb that of Alexanderis as a pebble to a pyramid. All generationsand oenturies are included hi its mightyawoep. All institutions and agencies arebrought under its sway. All space, all time,all principalities and po»ors and worlds addkingdoms areembracedwitbtoits boundaries.Defeated on Calvary, he rules the globe. Ab,my brother, bo not so sure that your workhas been in vain, that your life is a failure.Pan the flame in the chilled and blackenedcoals of endeavor. The best results of a goo*lifo cannot bo tabulated. A man is not themost competent judgoof the spiritual valueof his own labors. Tho best work Is thatwhich one does without being specially awareof it. The outgoings of a sweet and Christianpersonality constitute more than anythingour Influence. It is not reported in tbenews-papers, it Is not Bounded abroad on the streetcorners, but it leavea etonial Impressions.And even a lite here, in which you foil inevery end you seek, but which schools youfor

a bettor, is assuredly not a failure. It wasJesus who said, "He that loseth his life formy sake shall find it." All gains which areof the material and temporal amount to lossin the end. All losses of this kind are but tbeprice paid tor finding all In the end. Everything done for Christ and in Christ's spirit Isa ChrlBtlike thing to do; and, verily, it fhallnot lose its reward."Not in the clamor of tlie crowded street,Not in the shouU and plaudits of the throng,But tn o-itraelves are triumph and defeat."

A RELIC OF ROYALTY.

It b Fonnd l a One of the PrincipalCIIUIDIIO of New York.

Though few arc aware of tlio foot, mem-bers of tbe congregation of old St. Paul'schurch gnzo every Smidny at tho arms ofthe future king of England. On tho canopyof tho old fashioned pulpit, wbioh is oneof the pepper box stylo of a contury ogo,B>ro the threo ostrich feathers and theorown rhntfor many generations have oon-itituted the arms of the Prince of Wales,

cho heir to Britain's throne. Tho feathersstand out gracefully in the center of theoak canopy. They are all carved wood,handsomely gQHea, and form an attractiveornamentation to tho pulpit. With thoseroyal arms over his head, tho minister whoofficiates in St. Paul's ohurch ou Sundayreads the Borvlcus of the American church.

It is argued that these royal arms havesurvived tho storms of the Revolutionarydays. An Incensed mob {.raveled throughNew York olty when independence hadbeen declared, destroying every sign thatrepresented tbe monarchy from whoseohalns they bad outtheinselvcs free. Noth-ing waB regarded as Roared by this mob.

The royal arms wero everywhere at thattime—on tho windows of stores whoseproprietors had been proud of this meansof reminding tho publio that at one tunethey had supplied his majesty's ships withsalt pork or hard took, on tho lamppostsat the street corners and swinging fromthe front porches of the old inns. Windowson which the royal symbols appeared wereruthlessly smashed by the mob, the lamp-postfl were hurled to tho ground and theinns deprived of their signs tn Bhortordor.ItwaBB time when toboa client of royaltybrought a man Into dangerous prominence,and many wise storekeepers escaped mobTlolonce and saved the destroying partytbe trouble of smashing their signs by do-ing the work themsolvcs.

Tho royal armB of England were hard tofind In New Tork olty when the mob hadcompleted, its tour. SomefewelgnBescapedthe ruin, but not for long. They wereanaBhed as soon as attention waa called totheir presence.

Thorclloln St. Paul's chnroh was passedunnoticed and has survived to this day.It is certain tbat tho mob somewhat over-looked its existence, for no respect for thegaoredness of a chnroh edifice would haveJettrred it from laying the pulpit in ruinabad the presence of the feathers and crownof Wales been pointed out—New TorkTimes.

MASTODONS IN ALASKA.

Indians Say That These Monaten Are StillBoamlns About There.

The Alaska News prints a story whichought to lie of interest to scientists, andwhich, if i t is true, will go one stop fartherto prove to us that wonders never cea&o.

According to this yarn, the journal inquestion has learned of theexlstenco of liv-ing mastouons near tbo headwaters ofWhite river, tho Stick Indians positivelyasserting that not later than five years agoBuoh animals had been seen by them.

One of tho Indians Eaidthatwbile hunt-ing one day in that unknown section hecame across an Immense track, sunk to adepth of several inches in the moss, andfrom the description ns the Indian markedIt out to him In the mud It much reranbled an elephant's track and -was largeraround than a barrel.

Upon striking it tho Indian followed upthiB curious trull, which to all appearanceswas very fresh, and, tracking from oneImmense stride to tbe other for a distanceof some miles, he come in full view of hisgame. •

The hunter gave one loofe, then turnedand fled as though pursuod bythoevil one.These Indians, as a class, arc tho bravestof hunters, and, with no other weaponthan the spoor, will attaok and slay thoSt. Ellas grizzly. But the immense pro-portions of this new kind of game bothBtartled and filled the hunter with greatfear, and he Imagined himmly safety ledin BWift and immediate night.

He described it as being bigger tbanpost trader's store, with great shining yel-lowish tusks and a mouth large enough toewallow bun in a single lump. . .

If sueh an animal is now in existence, lfeInhabits a section of very high altitude-and one but rarely* visited. "by human be-ings, and these only Indians. What lendsa certain credibility to tlio Indian's tale lathat at no very distant period the Xukon.country was inhabited by these animals,and hundreds of their massive skeletonswere found strewn along the creeks.

LOST IN CARS.

Articles Left In Bleeping Apartment* trytbe VtuaengerB*

Some curious things are picked up byBleeping car porters, and a goodly propor-tion of them are turned over to persons Inauthority, U> bo restored to their owners Ifcalled for. The "Found" bureau of a pal*ace car company often affords an interest-ing study. An innumerable variety otticketed orticlcB thcro displayed bears ocu-lar testimony to the frciikB of nbsGntmind-cdness. Thcro crc pathctio as well asnmuBlng suggestions in these lost articles,for some of them are obviously mementosof tender associations. A baby's tin;worsted shoe, for Instance, found in asleeping- berth where no baby had been,tells its own touching little story.

ICaoh nrtlr-le, iu~. soon as it Is handed tothe custodian of tbe "Found" bureau, ismado into a neat parcel and marked withtho day and hour of finding, name ol thesleeping car, number of the train and tbenaino of the Under, alost of these mislaidpersonal effects are found under tho Beat*or In the lavatories of the cars. Fully two-thirds of tbe women's belongings whichare picked up by sleeping cor porters aretoilet articles or jewelry left in the lava-tories. It was only a few days ago that aporter found, two valuable linger rings ina washbowl. They had been sucked intotlio escape pipe together and fortunatelybecame wedged there so that they were notcarried away by tho outflowing water. Theowner of the rings said, when thoy wererestored to her, tbat 6hewas"sure tbat shehod put them in her satchel" and seeinc!quite Indignant at the temerity of tbe por-ter in inBlsting that he had found them ina washbowl.

U-mbrolms, canes and sbawl straps con-stitute a mujorlty of the "flnda" In sleep-ing oars. They are seldom reclaimed, al-though kept by the company's oustodianfor a year. Some of the oddities in thebureau's collection may bn enumerated asfollows: One white satin slipper, a wom-an's bead and lace bonnet, dialing dish,pair of trousers, two hair switches, onesot of false teeth, silver candlestick andWax candle, ono flno linen plghtrobo,package of perfumed letters tied with pinkribbon, an ear trumpet, one crutch andthree or four caged birdB-

Once in a great whllo a pockotbook con-taining money Is turned in at the"xbund"bureau. Buoh "flndB" are quiokly calledfor. Tho loss of money 1B usually discover-ed before the loser leaves the car, conse-quently if it has been mislaid on that par-ticular car It iB searched for thon andthero. Passougers usually feel for theirmoney tho first thing after awaking in themorning, and, finding that all right, ap-parently do not tax their minus with any-thing else. Occasionally, however, menwho carry their money loosely in theirpockotB lose it by pulling it out with apair of glovis, a handkerchief or a note-book. Not long ago the oonductor of aBleeping car which had just been emptiedof its passengers in the Grand Central sta-tion found (400 in bills lying on tho plat-form juat outside, the door. He took It tothe oflloe of tho general superintendent,and it was called for within an bour.—New York Tlmea.

NELSON AT COPENHAGEN.

His Rcfuiial to 8fo the tslenal of Recallfrom Admiral Parker.

Captain Alfred T. Mahan, tht greatnavul tHcticiun, lius u.n article on "KcltioiiIn tbo Battlo of CuiJtiuliuguu" in The Cen-tury. As to thu demeanor of Lord Nelson,Cuptuln Muliun, quoting from ColonelSt^wurt, gives tlie following description:"When thu signal from thu I^ondon, Ku.80, wasuwdi'i the bignul litiiUniint rcjiort-ed it to him. He continued his walk, tmddid not appear to take notice of It. Thelieutenant, meeting his lurdehlp at thenext turn, asked whether ho should repeatit—by which, if done, the pqimdron en-fcfH{it.d would rotirc to tho northward. LordKelson answered: lKo.

11 After a turn or two ho Bald to me in aquick manner, 'Do you know what'snbuwii&u bmu-d tliu commander In chief,No. 09?' On asking what that meant, heanfiwered:' Why, to leavo off action. Leaveoff action,' he repeated, und then addedwith a shrug, 'Now, d—n mo if I do I'He nlso observed, I believe, to CaptainFoley: 'You know, Folry, I have only oneeye. I have n right to be blind pometlints,'and then, with nn archness peculiar to binohiirnctcr, putting the RIUBS to his blindeye, bo exclaimed, 'I really do not ecu thesignal.1 "

Professor Laughton, whose authority onmattersrclntlncrtn Nelwin In pcromltothntof no one living, hus lately told us in hifl"Lifu of NIIBOII" tluit this littlo dlsjiluywas but a joke, NC-IKOM liavlng received aluesFuge from Parker that ho was to usehisowu discretion us to obeying the signalIf BO, 1b Is not Improbable that ho liiid iuview tho effect of his manner upon themany byfitunucrswho luiiRt hnvo wltiicsECtitho scene in tlio midst of a yet doubtful unddesperate buttle. It Is the eonverso of theoutward beurlug which ho reprehended Intho lieutenant. Tho moral effect of BUCIIself possession is Indescribable. Tho lion-arch's midHh.)pni»n alrcndy quoted speaksthus oi a wounded and disabled officer onboard of her, "TYhtm the carnage wasgreatest, be encouraged MB men by np-plaudlng their conduct and frequently be-gan a huzza, which is of moro Importancathan might generally be Imagined, for thomen huve no other communicationthroughout tho ship, but when a shout tsset up It runs from deck to deck, und theyknow that their comrades arc, some ofthum, alive and in good spirits."

AB Parker's messenger, Captain Otway,did not reach Nelson until after tho Blgnalwas hoisted, It is possible tlio scene wit-nessed by Stewart occurred beforeNelsonknew Parker's purpose. Parker's privatesecretary, who afterward served In tho samecapacity with Nelson for two years, IIUBalso affirmed that there was a previous un-derstanding between tho two admirals.Tho matter Is of less consequence than ap*pears, for tho supreme merit of Lord Nel-son was nob tho dlsrcgardlngof the signal,but tho sound judgment and tenacity withwhich ho refused to incur the risk of giv-ing ground at that moment. This waswholly his.

A NEW MEXICAN METEOR.

Found on Antlyils to Bo Composed Chieflyof Iron.

The American Journal of Science givesan account by Warren M. Footo of Phila-delphia of tho recent finding of a meteoritewhich fell In 1870 In tho Sacramentomountains of Now Mexico and was seen atIts fall by Mr. M. Dartlett of Florence,A T. The meteorite pnescd through thoheavens in a Bouthorly direction and fellwith a report like a cannon. Tho factswero reported by Mr. Bortlctt to Mr. O.R. Bicdcriuan, who began nn investiga-tion, which was fruitless until, by chance,a era all sample of iron found bya shepherdof tlio region proved to be ni otcorlo an d ledto the locating of tho mass, which had fall-en on tho top of a limestone hill, where Itwas partly burled. Mr. Bicderman endhis party with much labor dragged It sixmiles over the desert to a wagon road. Nopieces were found near it, and it ia com-plete except for two pieces, weighing to-gether about five pounds, which have beenbroken or mnved from tho mass.

The new found meteorite Is a typlcnl ex-ample of tlio class of siderltes, weighingnbout 521 pounds, and about OS incheslonp, 24 inches broad and 8 Inches thick.It has thu character!Htlu "thumb" marks,and on a flub side It has two cup Bhapedpits from 4 to 6 Inches In diameter, whichoru a remarkable feature. At tho pointwhere tbo fragments wero removed tho oo-tahcdral clcnvngo and lines of crystalliza-tion ore noticeable to a degree rarely seonIn Iron. I t is, however, on the etched sur-face, prepared through treating a polishedBlab with diluted nitric acid in the iiHualmanner, thut tho beauty of the crystallineBtructuro la betct seen. In this respoct itranks among the finest of recorded Irons,the Wldmannstattcn figures being excep-tionally regular and distlnot. Tho broadbonds ot karimclto ore symmetrical, theprominence of the Interlacing of shiningwhlto threads of tho nlccoliferous Iron be-lngespecially remarkable, and distinguish-ing it from the El Capltan meteoric iron,found in 1803 about OOiniles north of Sao-.mmento range. In the lutter Iron tho per-centage of Iron Is loss and nickel greater,phosphorus also beiag present. A quanti-tative analysis shows tho following results,with a. very small remainder undeter-mined: Iron, 91.89per cent; nlekel, 7.86per cont; cobalt, .02 per cent; total, 99.77per cent.

Tho maps Is porf ectly preserved, there be-ing no sign of disintegration or exudationof Iftwrcricite. Tho sawing shows- it to boquite soft and generally homogeneous. Thoentire luck of surface alteration proves thutit fell at a comparatively recent dato andleads to the conclusion that It is tho meteorBeen to fall by Mr. Bartlctt, whoso accountled to the discovery.—New York Press.

Heftt.Some doctors hold that there Is more

danger from going from the cold outsideand into a hot room than from tho hot airInto the cold. It Is further declared thatit would bo more correct In most cases toapeak of "catching beat" than of "catch-bag cold."

Dr. William H. Pearse, writing in TheScalpel, says that ho ventures to differ fromtho popular belief that there la epeoJaldanger In going from a hot room Into theopen air, holding, on tho contrary, thatthe heat of the room or house Is a greatpreservative from chill or "catching cold"on going out into the open air.

In Russia, In central Europe, Canadaand the northern United States houses arcmadu very w&rm with a dry heat in thewinter, yet men, women and children gooat into a temperature below zero. Thestimulation and heightened condition ottbo circulation and ncrvcB and ultimatemolecules of protoplasm give a great poweiof resistance to tho outer intense cold, pro-venting "chill" In the first exposure untilexercise, with Us Infinite motions, as Itwuro, takes up uud iimlutuliuJ tlio i»>inu>tlons of resistance.

Dr. Pearse says that be has walked atmidnight from a. highly heated mansionacross Boston Common, In his drcsa coatonly, on a calm,-starry night, the tempera-turd about zero. He suffered no inconven-ience and fclC fluro that tho stimulus ottho heat of the house gave him power otresistance to tho cold.

Tho Medical Record declares that Dr.Pearso Is undoubtedly correct in his obser-vation that one- can conio from a hot roomInto the cold outer uir and run but littlechance of catching cold. The danger Urather iu entering a hot room from with*oat, especially RH unventlu*t«l bob room.

PSUED0 MEMORY.ITS MANIFESTATIONS AND CAUSES

THAT ARE ASSIGNED.

Carioaa nlustrationi That liuvo a FamiliarAppearance to Many of U»— Wlmt SumoFamous Men Havo Bald ConuiTiiIne TillsIntc renting SuTJect.An Irlshmun once referred to what has

been culled psc-udu memory as the luumorythat ho had of things thut never happenedto him, but a moro exact definition tellsus that it consists in the belief that u newBtute has been previously ciiicrieiu'id, BOthat when the etnto is produced for thefirst time It seems fnniUiur. Or, ns Wen-dell Holmes says, "All ut once a convict Ionflushes upon us that we lmve been In thesame precise circumstances us at tho pros-cut instant oncu or many times before''—a sort) of feeling that makes somo peoplethink they are gliostB. Ho udds jocularlythut tho feeling cannot ho tho memory ofa previous state- of existence, for ho givestho case of a student who, when bUickir.ghis HIIUUH, hud UJO cumiuLlun (hut lie hudoften dono EO before, mid ho mentions usan explanation tho fact of the bruin beingu double organ. Ono sldo of thu bruin re-ceives tho impression beloro- thu other, andin the second case there ia the memory oftbo first impression. Hut to this view itmay be objected that tliurc Is a. convictionthat tho former stale was cxiierlenral along tiiuo before, sometimes, too, with thobelief that it oecurredluu remote and oth-erwise furguLteu iHiut. tiiiiuulinius, nodoubt, there is an actuul memory ofdreams. Tho lutlcr Is moat often tlio CHSGWhen somo incident during the duy recallsa dream of tha previous night thut hadbeen forgotten on awakening in tho morn-ing. Another explanation founded on thetheory of hereditary memory is not impos-sible Tills would Includu tho case of theBtudent who blacked his ehoen. From aBcientlflo point of view this cxpluuution isperfectly rational.

A memory of things that our ancestorshave done is consistent willi strict reason-ing, and we hnvo something almostamounting to memory of this kind in thocaso of animals. Darwin tulls of dogs thatwero takou to Central Amcrluaand taughtto hunt deer In a particular way, nnd Ihoprogeny of these dogs, when they wurotaken out without timlr parents, huntedat onto according to the particular methodwithout being trained.

This kind of memory occura In differentforms, A sudden turn of tho road In astrange country brings us face to fncawith a landscape that flceruB fannlfur.Meeting a person for the first time, wofeel ns if wo had already eeeu him. Kcad-Ing a book that wo lmvo never seen before,the thoughts or tho language, or both,Beera as if they bad already boen presentedto tho'mind. Again, a funeral service, aprocession or some pageant, all at once thewhole pceno Boems familiar.

Many remarkable cases of this kind ofmemory are told. An inhabitant of NewEngland, when on a visit to Knghmd,wont to see tho homo of his ancestors. Hothought he recognized, tlio village- churchami tho landscape, but Iio believed ho musthavo seen a picture of them before. How-ever, on passing through tho churchyardhl attention was especially attracted by atombstone on which the name inscribedEcenied familiar. On inquiry Iio discoveredthat tho young girl who was' buried therobad been engaged to ono of his ancestors,who, according to an account given in abook written on tho family, used often topay -visits to tho tomb of his loved one.Hereditary memory Is tbo only clew inthis case, if we except a vivid Imagina-tion. A similar story is told of a York-chlreman who went* on a visit to Somci'sotfind there recognized and remembered wellhunting the red deer. Ho had never doneBO himself before, but bis father had hunt-ed tho red deer in Bomoreet for severalyears in the early pnrt of Ills life.

A celobrated artist tells a story of how,when he was playing with pencil and pa-per, ho suddenly began to drnw a portraitof a face that bo Boomed to remember. Buthe never discovered the original untilWhen, on a visit to a country house, hediscovered the face among the portraits ofthe ancestors of the family. On inquiry hofound that IIJB grandfather had once beenengaged to be married to the girl, but hodbeen obliged to give her up on the pressureof her relatives.

Dr. Arnold Pick tells of a mnn who hadohronic attacks of pseudo memory. When-ever he was present at a social gatheringT visited auy place- that was new to him.

tho Incident, with all its familiar circum-stances, appeared so familiar that be wasconvinced of having received the samo im-pressions before or luiving been surround-ed with the samo objects under tbo samoconditions of weather, cte. If ho under-took any cow occupation, ho seemed tohave gone through It a t somo previoustime and under similar conditions. Thisfeeling eomotlraea appeared at the time,sometimes at tho end of a few bours, andsometimes not until the next day, but al-ways with great distinctness. In thia cosean explanation may perhaps ho found inthe man's possession of a very powerfulimagination, which, being constantly ex-orcised on a number of possible situa-tions, led to the recognition afterward ofsimilarities in actual experience.

AB an examination In other cases it maybe that thero is an actual memory oC eventsthat occurred in early ohildhood and re-mained for a long time forgotten by theindividual himself and hia friends. Car-penter tells of a clergyman who went witha party of friends to visit a castle that hodid not remember ho had ever seen before.As he approaoked the gateway ho becameconscious of a very vivid impression ofhaving socn it previously, and ho seemedto himself to eco not only tho gatoway it-self, but also donkeys beneath the archand people- on tho top of it, and it WOB forsome time in tho belief that he was thevictim of a delusion or prank of memory,until, on Inquiring of his mother, sho in-formed him thnt when ho wns 18 monthsold sho had gone to tho castle with a largeparty and taken'him In tlio pannier of adonkey, and that tho elders of tho party,liavlng brought luncheon with them, ate't on the roof of the gateway.

The King's Portrait.A pretty trait Is recorded of King George

of Greece. At homo ns on his travels helikes to wander abroad incognito, withoutattendance, nnd EO unpretentiously dressedthnt ho escapes recognition. At ono timehe waa taking ono of his long solitarywalks when his attention was attracted bya conplo coming along tho road hand inhand, evidently a young workman and bissweetheart Under pretext of asking hisway, he entered into conversation withthem, and was told tbatthcyw.ro engagedand hoped by Christmas to hnvo earnedenough to get murricd, . Before partingfrom them ho took down their names andaddresses, and jokingly told tho girl thathe might perhaps find remunerative workfor them, but that anyway ho would Bendthem his portraits as a reminder of thismeeting. On her wedding day tho bridereceived a heavy necklace composed of goldcoins, on which one recognized tho face oftho man who had nsked his way of her. It)was tho promised portrait of the king,—Now York Sun. •

SHOE EYELETS.

One of the Comparatively Few ThlngiThat Are Sold by the Million.

Thero ore many tilings thnt are sold bythe grass, and not a few that are sold bytho thousand, but thero are not many thatare Bold by tho million. Among the thingsthnt are EO sold, however, arc shoo eyelets.

Shoe eyelets are made of brass by nm-cLliiea whose operation Is almost entirelyautomatic Thrco or four machines are re-quired to produce the eyelet In tha form inwhich It is sold} the brass being fed intotlio first m11chine In thin, flat strips. Assold to tho shoo manufacturer the eyelet isturned down ut ono end only. The eyeletslook: as much as anything like so manylittlo hats with narrow brims and withoutany tops In tbo crowns. The upper end oftlie crown, which is like tho end of a littlocylinder, is put through' tho eyelet hole intho shoo, tlio flnished brim or Hango of theeyelet resting against the leather upon theoutside. After tlio eyelet bos thus been putIn placo Its inner end is turned down up-on the leather by a machine mado for thatpurpose. In the manufacture of the eyeletsa number of •very slight vertical indenta-tions arc mado at equal distances apart inthe outside of tho eyelet around the smooth,Btraight end. When the shoe machinesmashes down tho inner side of tho eyelet,tho motal ports at these indentations andis spread uniformly, thus giving 1ft a ae-ouro hold.

Eyelets are made of various sizes Indiameter and of various lengths of shnnkor cylinder, according to tho thloknesa oftho material with which they are to boused, and after thoy come from tho ma-chines they aro finished in groat; variety.Somo aro finished white— theso are ellverplated; some are gilt finished and someare coppered. Eyelets are japanned inblack or in various shades of russet; theyore, in fncfc, made in any Bize and of anycolor that may be desired. Sooner or laterthe japanning; wears off, exposing thebrnea, Thero are now made shoe cyelotathat aro covered with celluloid, which keeptheir color, but theBQ are much more ex-pensive than the kinds commonly used.

Shoe eyelets aro' packed in boxes contalning 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 860,000 and0C0.000 each. Eyelets of tho kinds mostcommonly used are sold, according to Blzeannd styles, at prices ranging from 900 to$135 per 1,000,UOl). Some of tho celluloidcovered eyelets sell for as muchasffiOOpur 1,000,000. •

The palo of shoe eyelets depends, ofcourse, Bomowhat upon tho prevailingbtyle of BIIOC. When button shoes are moregenerally worn, not BO many shoo eyeletsare sold, but tho number sold is alwaysyery largo. •

Eyelets are mado for a wide variety ofuses, up to tho great eyelets that aro sowedinto tho corners of Bails, through whichtho Ball Is lashed to tho end of tho boom oiyard. Taking them oil together, the num-ber is enormous. Of Blioe eyelets alonethero aro sold iu this country somo thou-Bands of millions annually.—Now YorkSuu.

"Mondtn and I were -with tho Ravollpantomlmo troop for n long while. Aft-nrward they wero succeeded by tho Haiti-nottl troop. Wo played at NiUo'B every,winter nnd traveled tho rest of tho year.Wlicn wo were nt Cincinnati, tho thoughtof crossing Niagara fulls on a tight ropocame to Blondin. He asked mo to go withhim, nnd I consented. The ropo wos madein Now York anflwns 8,600 feet long. Ilionotunl walking distance across tho riverwas 2,100 feet, nnd tlio height nDove thewater waa 200 feet.

"Tho rope was stretched In the Bummerof 185B and was loft out nil winter with-out injury. Blondin made his flrfit cross-ing in tho BUimnor of I860, uud subsequent-ly went over blindfolded. Hia crowningpleco of daring was walking on stilts. Howho did It Is somothlng that I havo neverbeen aulo to eiplaln, and I doubt If Blond-ln himself could give a siitisfuctory ol-planntlon. It required a inustcrful norvo.

"One day ho suld to ino, 'Iwnut to carryyou across on my back.' 1 thought ho wusjoking nnd turned off the subject. Hourged, and I finnlly consented. Thero wore800,000 pcoplo present on tho afternoonthat I pnt my arms around Blondln's neekand placed my logs In two barrel hoop Ironhooks whloh he attached on eithor sido ofhis belt. I will not attempt to Ml nil Ifelt as wo went out over that abyss. I can-not toll It. I know that I kept my eyeflopen and looked down without feeling diz-zy. It waa a supremo moment, and perhapstho situation gave mo the nerve that car-ried ino through the ordeal. Hooked tothe farther shore and could see tho tenseforms of tho multitude. They stood ullcntand fearful. I do not bollovo ono person Inthat throng enjoyed tho perilous scone.

"In order that Blondln's limbs mightnob be hampered In action all my weightwns thrown upon his shoulders, my logsresting -very lightly In the hooks. For thisreason iny arms became so tired that bo-foro we got out 40 feet I was compelled todismount thrco times to rest uiysolf. Thofirst time I did this I heard a hoarse mur-mur from tho crowd. When I dismounted,I placed iny hands lightly on Blondln'sshoulders and stood with my right foot onthe ropo, tho left lug pointing outward unddownward to bo used as a balancing medi-um. Rcaohing tho last guy rope on theCanadian Bide, fromwhichwo had started,thero wore ahead of us 40 feet of lino un-protected by lines. With Ills foot restingon the last guy ropo Blondln said to mo:'Harry, whatever you do as we OTOES thisunsupported placo, do not attempt to bal-anco yourself. Bo porfootly passive, asthough you were a part of my own body.If I lean, lenn with mo. On you depend*tho safety of our passage.' Then he step-ped out toward tho Bwaying center. In amoment he had lost his equilibrium. Holeaned away over to tho right. To mo Itseemed our bodies were pnrallol with theearth. I nerved myself, however. In a mo-ment ho regained bis equilibrium and thenleaned as far to tho left. Blondln couldnot rcguiu his balance readily.

"His movements wero not unlike thoseof a boy who attempts to walk ou a rail ofa track. He started and ran, his object fee-ing to reach the first guy ropo on the op*poslto side, where ho know that he couldsecure a steady foothold and regain hispoise. Ho reached tho place. At that In-stant I felt something shako beneath me.There was a momentary but violent oscil-lation of tho rope, nnd Blondln had start-ed to run again. Ho made the knot ot thenext guy line, and there scoured a firmfooting.

' " a c t off,1 lie said. I dismounted andstood as I had done before. This time Itwas ho who was exhausted. He stood therellko a statue Beads of sweat were on hiaface. His veins Btood out llko cords.

"Wo reached land in safoty. As we drewnear the American shore every man, •wom-an and ohild within 100 feet of the line'send had arms outstretched to receive us.Thoir lips were ported and their eyes hadsomething of almost agony in them. Ihave belioved to this day that there werepeople in that crowd undergoing a greaternervous strain than either Blondis or my-self.

"There had been an enormous amountof betting on tho result of tho crossing.Many did not beliovo that tho feat wouldbe accomplished. It wns one of these who,seeing success prohablo, had gone to theshore cna of ono of the guy lines and pull-ed It hard enough to break It at tho maincable just as Blondln had placed his footupon tho knot.
