At the meeting of the Ocean <5rove and Asbury Park convention bureau, held in the Park last Friday evening, it was voted to pay off the remaining bills of'ttie N. E. A. that are still due since IaBt season. .»•

January 6 Is the date set for the an-; nual meeting. Officers will be elected on that date and lt is-expected that the Association, will begin -the new year exempt from debt. The desire to accomplish this purpose was the chelf cause for last Friday’s meeting having been called, although all bills passed upon then had been., con­sidered “O. K.” at a previous meet: Ing, which manymembers of the asso­ciation contended' was illegal as prop­er notice of the call had not been given.. (Nominations for officers to be voted upon next month were declared In or­der and a motion'was carried that the secretary cast a ballot for the re* election of the present officers, upon which President T. /Franks Appleby announced that he would not accept a re-election.

“The Carlisle Indian band bill, which was: hero during the N. E. A. week, was the most Important subject of discussldn and deiveloped -Into many sturdy disagreements, with the ultimate conclusion that although the bureau had been “stung,” as It was expressed, that the better way would be to pay the unreasonable de­mands and thus avoid undesirable criticism. The cause for all of this contention was due to the fact that during the N, B. Av convention last summer, Miss Estelle Reed, then^rep­resenting,.! the- department*: education .here, urged that the Car­lisle Indian band be engaged. She said that aside from services In a mu­sical way, they would play a game of baseball and would undoubtedly thus be able to add. sufficiently to the en-

. tertalnment to. defray their own ex- ; penses. ,’v. v; A--

.Miss Reed promised that, the . Car­lisle band, 'would come here for Its actual expenses which; she thought, would not exceed $250. '

The bureau declined ; the sugges­tion at once, but Frank Conover,, pro­prietor of the 'Coleman House, prom-* Ised that If the band's expense would not exceed the amount mentioned, tbat he would make good • any • de­ficiency that might result and thus the band was engaged. Mr. Conover received $91 from the venture and he immediately made good to the bureau the remainiug $159. Beside this, bills amounting to $276 for boarding the Indians were rendered and were also paid.by Mr. Conover's personal check. It was votec^ how­ever, that the association refund this money to Mr. Conover.

Harry Duffleld presented a bill of $23.25 for the board of Prof Thomp­son, who had charge of the Indians while here, and this,, with a small bill In favor of Harry Borden, were paid. Mary R. Campbell presented a bill- of $30 for board, cab hire and piano rent, but the motion for pay­ment of this was not carried. , ' .

Guests Bestow Much Praise Upon the McKin­ley and Roosevelt Club fo r Ihe good W ork It Has Accomplished iii Promoting canism— Able Speeches Rendered^-Nearly One Hundred Persons Present at Festal Board

The sixth annua! banquet o f , ihe McKinley; and Roosevelt Club was held Thursday evening at the Alaska and ainety-flve members and guests were present. ■

About 8.30 o’clock the party' com­menced to arrive and an hour later sat down to of the most ■elaborate banquets ever served in i:he Grove, ; Mirth anti gdod-fellowahip sharaeterized the evening: and every one-was i*appy. ■

That we are enjoying s Republican, administration in township, ooimty, State snd nation was evident lor peace; contentment and prosperity1 was clearly sbpwn in every face In

1 ihe banquet hall, find, many a time during the aveatag was pur chief ex- executive, the great ’ ma'ri. Theodore.

. Roosevelt, lauded; , ■ .President of the; club,' Ernest N.

Woolston, from!the head of the table, announced the speakers, and flrst In­troduced County Clerk Joseph Mc­Dermott who, after a brief speech, was excused for tho purpose ot attend­ing another political banquet In Eng- lishtown.

Mr. McDermott spoke briefly and referred principally to the good work- done by iae various (Republican clubs- throughout the nation, and attributed the late and repeated Republican vic- tories largely to their efforts

Shortly atter Mr, McDermott’s de­parture, President 'Woolston; an­nounced that letters announcing Ina­bility-to be .present, which had beetj received from Invited guests would be read by; Secretary Otis' Lee. They were, from John'Boyd Avis, of Middle­sex county; Henry M. • Nevlus, Red; Bank; Charles A. Atkins, Asbury

first time - he Had enjoyed the hospi­tality o r the McKinley and Roosevelt Club, which is noted for excelling in many fiiiugs >i.ad: by no means the 'least in Its banquets. "Poor. health will not permit me to . talk longer,” continued Mr.- Hetrick, “and besides, how that you have heard: Willie, the dead man's friend,; there i« but little left that I eould'say anyway. How­ever, if my presence' ever be desired at another such ev«nt, - gentlemen, command nie.”

The name of the first president'of .the club, the venerable and reverend General Patterson,was greeted with tumultous applause, to , which Mr. Patterson responded by saying that he had requested that his name; be sot included In the. list of siieakers, :>ut my request was not adhered , to. You all know me aad-know that , I ’in 'Ro speech maker, and although I have but little to say, I have at least this:I am a Republican—a Republican of true blue all of the time and try to be right, . - '.

I have been many years In Moh- mr.uth county and I ’ve seen-our grand old party whipped many a time, but we -kept right on just the same snd Wave journeyed. to victory, for al­though mis. country, !a years gone by, had a Democratic majority of 1,500, we have how the reins and' propose to keep them; . . • •

Much credit for tills' victory is due to this'-great dub of- which I am proud to be a member. What we want, however, is new members; there; are voters; being made every year and ’ we must get them,; and by doing this and, keeping; such men; as our beloved; Theodore Roosevelt,; whom a Demo-

Senator ,0. H. Brown was the next speaker of the evening and his name was greeted with applause. The Senator expressed, his pleasure In be­ing able to be present and congrat­ulated the McKinley . -and Roosevelt •Club upon their great accomplish­ments. He told of the continually in­creasing strength of the Republlban party, and said that he remembered a time when the Democratic party in this county had an overwhelming ma­jority, but that politics and the peo­ple were now changed and with, such a man as our national . leader—the greatest man ; on earth—Theodore Roosevelt at the head, the party can- hot and will not suffer defeat; He thanked the club for having support­ed him during the recent election and concluded by hoping to’,;-;have the pleasure of meeting the members;on many more similar'occasions. : . ‘

iCoroner William E. MacDonald was the ri6xtl speaker on'the program and spoke briefly but directly to 'the pdint. Mr, MacDonald said that the result .of the recent election was convincing evlderice that the .»Republican party had coine into, power t o . stay and showed that the party was pulling to­gether. He thanked the club for the support given, him during the election, and said that he hoped to be able to retaliate by acting as coroner for each, member.- ’ ”

T. Nelson LIUagore was then an­nounced. .,He said in part, “There has been q. ’ great feeling of uncer­tainty as to whether this meeting would be in a house of mourning or of mirth. There has been V recent elec­tion, wo know, but It was altogether too close. We know that gangs of po­litical robbers have, in the past, run the.politics here, but it is different now, and there are, throughout the nation, many secondhand heroes for sale cheap, and this fact may be at­tributed to the ordinary voter. There are enough noble and well qualified men in tho Republican party to whom no apology need be offered, and who are conpetent to conduct the welfare of State, while tho grafters flee to.a more saluurious clime, like rats leav­ing a burning ship.

Guided by the wise leader that Is at the helm, I see the East and the- West connected by the Panama canal, and the hands of labor and capital clasped in friendship. And our grand old party, will go on from .conquest to to conquest and from victory to vie-

Dr. Ackerman, president of Lincoln iClub of Asbury Park next on the list.

‘T received a note from the secre­tary; of this c^ub, said Dr. Ackerman, ‘inviting tb;be . present at this 'event and a ^ew days later'I received another note requesting that I say a few words just tor the purpose of fiU- in.' Well, Pve^been filling In—inside of my shirt all of the evening. I have also been filled In on both sides—on my right is a man who deals in flesh and on my. left a man who deals In re­ligion—and they will see that I am well taken, care of.

•‘I wish to apologize; gentlemen, for my presence here this evening for the fact1 that I am in no way. politician. - I have never attempted to become one because I understand that it requires both time and money, and I have iieither.

“I trust my apology will be accept­ed, but of course there are apologies and thero aro apologies, and speaking of apologies reminds me of a young man- who had a great impediment in his speech. At a ball one evening he: apked a young lady to dance with him and she declined. iHe replied, tyou can go to the devil then,* and started to leave the hall. At the door he met her brother, who Said: .‘See here, you: have insulted my sister and you must either go and offer an apology to her or taking a thrashing from me . out­side.' ‘I guess I ’ll apologize,' said the young man, and ho went to the young lady and said, '[ told you to go to the devil, didn’t I? ’

“ ‘Yes, you did/ ^said the jwing lady.. .'V

“ "Well, I ’ve come'back to say that, you needn't go now, because your brother and I havo made other ar-: rangements.'

(<But I was requested to say a few words about our martyr-presldent, Abraham Lincoln, for whom our club in the: Park was named. ' ■

aAlthough the man now at the head of the United States government is undoubtedly the most important man in the world at the present time, we must not forgot those who have gone before. .7

OR. Q ’ HANLON, FORMERLY HEBE, CALLED TO BOWERY MISSION

Rev. Dr. Thomas O’Hanlon, former­ly connected with St. Paul : Church, has; become associated with the Bow­ery Mission in New York 'City. Dr. O’Hanlon w;ill conduct, the question and answer meetings! there every: Sunday afternoon, and will also reply to any questions pertaining to re­ligion that may be asked . him by mail. ’ It was this particular line; of work that. Dr. O’Hanlon conducted while here previous to his removal to Pennington. ;; ;_'■>/; : ‘;.v .•••7 . " . ’;'\For some months Dr. O’Hanlon was

in California for the benefit of- his health, which had become impaired by overwork. .His host of friends throughout the coupty will be happy to learn that he. has returned greatly, improved..

The Rev. Dr. Kerr Bolce Tuppier, also well known In Ocean Grove, is one of the leaders of the Bowery.-Mi’sr. sion, which is one of the largest and best known charitable organizations in New York. '

-The mission is located at .155 Bow­ery, near Canal street, and is con­ducted by the Y. M. C. A. Men and boys who are deemed worthy of as­sistance aro always taken In and given a home for two weeks if neces­sary,. or until they have secured em­ployment They are also assisted in thfs latter manner through the means of the mission’s free employment bureau, and -hundreds of unfortunate men and, boys take a new start ini life every week through the *. assistance thus rendered by the Bowery Mission.

■There are 550 beds in the dormi­tories, and' nearly a ll of these are generally occupied, particularly dur­ing the winter months. Religious ser­vice is conducted every' evening and three services on (Sunday, but no con­tributions are taken. The mission Is endowed by many wealthy-New York residents. ’

N . ! AND N. J . PHONE 130 MUST REMOVE FREE WIRE

Heptun* Township BefQfeed C o .’ s Privileges and W ill Accept Ko Feto r

A motion was unanimously carried by the Neptune township committee at the meeting held last. Friday even­ing, in accordance with which the N. Y.‘ and N. J." Telephone Com pan y*"will be Instructed to- remove fts “free ’phono” from the township ■ head­quarters.’ The township Committee, at. a pre­vious meeting revoked the privileges that had been granted the telephone company and Instructed Counselor Samuel A. Patterson to amend the or­dinance to “the effect that said com­pany shall pay to the township a rea­sonable sum for the use of the Tat­ter’s highways:: It . is largely for this reason that the ; tpwnshfp committee declines to accept any favor from the telephone company.

One of the committeemen rerated a story, recently published fn a New York newspaper to the effect that the mayor and council of Summit, this State, ^chopped down the telephone company's poles and tore down the Rahway Valley .Railroad Company’s bridges after .these corporations had persisted. In doing -business there without a franchise* .

It Is not probable, however, that such strenuous methods need ever be resorted to by the peaceful and law-r abiding citizens of Neptune township.

Cyril Scott is the only star nnd. “The Prince Chap"' is the single ex­ception of any play of the New York season.that can ‘fly the banner of longevity.' Not. satisfied with celebrat­ing its centennial anniversary In number of performances, the one hundred and fiftieth performance is now looked forward to, but .Will, not be celebrated In New York for the reason that “Tho Prince Chap’’ will conclude its stay at Joe Weber’s Theatre on the night of the one hunr- dred and thirty-fourth performance; which .falls on Saturday night, De­cember 30. It 1st understood that Walter N. Lawrence has a play pick­ed ortt for production at Joe Weber’s Theatre next fallj when lie wlll .agaln^ assume control of the dramatic sea­son at that, theatre,/which will begin in September and end the last4week in december.• The..scene, in the last act of “Th.e'rprintfe. Chap,’’ between. Cyril/ Scott and Charlotte; Walker .when the former as .William ’ Peyton realizes ‘that his ;ward, • Claudia, Iii tlie person of Miss Walker,' loves him,' Is made a most, touching finale by the exquisite • acting o fvM iss ‘ Walker. “The Prince Chap’’ is regarded as t,he prettiest and, most, charming play of the., season, and proves < cprU;lusIvely that a pure play; can hold Its, own alongside of all the ‘{problems'- of the most modern, dramas. '

Henry 13. Dixey in the double bill ‘‘David . Garrick” and “The Man • on the Box” is another of Walter; N. Lawrence’s stage olfeiings that .re­mains-in; popular favor In New York. “The Man on the Box” : started last Monday in Its ten th week, at the Madi­son Square Theatre, /a long run ! as runs: are • flgured now-a-days. - This -Is a bright, •/amusing . and: interesting comedy in. whlcli Mri,Dixey; is seen at his best?: No wonder that .susceptible

/young ladies should fall in love with their. grooms' .-if all groom's are as at­tractive, as Mr. Dixey in livery,'.which, ’after, all proves that It is the man and not the ‘ livery that fascinates, the young women. How attractive v.y. Dixey would he to feminine hearts if he wore a soldier’s uniform instead Of a. servants garb would be a* riddle that would- require a much larger the­atre than the. Madison 'Square! In which to solve It, 'for lie is playinir. there to. capacity audiences. Carlotta Nillson,fascinates both men and wom­en by her delightful acting and at-

E. S. Willard, the famous English actor, will begin a three weeks’ en­

I George Etlwardes’ London Apollo j Theatre Company continues the at^ i traction at the' Broadway Theatre, j where it has recorded a most enviable success In the dainty and tuneful comic V opera, . “Verrmiaue.V ■ This piece has made a -most distinct and effective appeal to all lovers of Thigh-, class compositions that possess a popular jingle, combined with iriu- siciahly qualities.

• A newi star and a now play scored one of the. most, emphatic.successes of the entire theatrical seasoa in. New York Monday night, when Thomas W. Ross made his first appearance at the Liberty Theatre in Henry Blossom’s now comedy of New York life Fair Exchange.” The scenes of the play are laid in New York and ?.t Larchmont, and the plot concerns a poker game, a yacht race, and the ef­forts of a gentlemanly, villain to get wrongful possession of Wall street se­curities. Mr. Ross appears as CHffe Austin, a breezy Westerner, taking his first dip into Eastern society. The part fits him perfectly.' The non­chalant ease and sparkling good na­ture of the actor is perfectly blended with an attractive and magnetic role. Mr. Ross may confidently count him­self henceforth a permanent factor in New York theatrical affairs. In “Checkers” he won a melodramatic triumph. In “A Fair Exchange” lie lias achieved success in a brilliant so­ciety comedy. The strong company provided by Charles Dillingham aided in what was undoubtedly a great suc­cess. Mr. Ross and “A ■ Fair Ex­change” will stay Indefinitely at the liberty Theatre. There could not be a fairer exchange than the entertain­ment offered here for the price of ad­mission.

One of the most talked about plays now before the New York public Is Alfred Sutro’s great drama, “The Walls of Jericho/’ the play’ In which James K; Hackett and Mary Manner- ing are now appearing In a limited co- star engagement at the- Savoy Theatre to audiences that continue to pack that playhouse at every performance. “Tho Walls, of Jericho” has,given to both Mr. Hackett and^Mlss Mannerlng the best medium, for great success,

i ►

that, either of ■ these /tw o. brilliant stars have enjoyed since. they^fly8> be­gan their starring tours. : Asldb frotia tlie success that the popularity of Mr, Hackett and Miss /Mannerlng. lend to this drama, “The Walls of Jerlclio,” as a play .must command attention, for it is evident that its author,’ Al­fred Sutio,- was tremendously in earnest when he, wrote it ,,for there.fs an atmosphere of sincerity about it which gives it a charm that merits the public recognition -which is now being accorded it.

Matinees during the Hackett-Man- nering season occur on Thursdays and Saturdays of each week.-

Blorjr of tlie Clever StTlndllnK Trick W ith Which a Sharper Fleeced ioBdon Clubmen n n d the Way In

Which It Wa« ICxponcd.

Some years ago I used frequently to attend "nt homos," Iu additiou to glv-

,= Ing ■ lessons Inlegcrdemuin to ladles nnd gentlemen who amused themselves us amateurs In giving exhibitions of their skill nt evening parties, etc*. Up­on one occlusion, It was. an '‘at home’’ at Lady A.'s town house, I had given a display of card; manipulation in add 1* tion to other sleight offhand tricks. After my performance I wad upproaoil­ed by one of the gentlemen guests. "“Allow me to. congratulate you, Mr,

Devrint lie sulil, ;‘your eutcrtnlnuient . has given me * imicU pleasiite:: • Your* card manipulation especially interested tne, It occurs to me that with your ob­vious knowledge of cards and - card de-

• ceptlons you might assist; me Jn a per-:: picking affttlr -’which; has been .exereis-: ing my. mind for some .time. I f you will be so good as to give me a. few minutes of your • time I will describe the nature of this dilemma to you. Al­low me to present my card”; ’

Having slgnllied my willingness to . accord the Interview requested. Sir George L. escorted me to the conserva­tory arid said: , ... ' • ■. •;

“Let me come to the point. Ayhlle- watching your card manipulation,it .struck inie that, you might probably: be acquainted with, some of the tricks which are resorted to by card Bharpers

• and could sot iit i^st some suspicions of mine concerning a certain gentle­man whose luck at curds la prodigious,;

■ I am strongly■ of opiulou that lie Ib nothing more or less than a profession- al sharper. This man I first encounter­ed at the B. club, of which I am a member. He has been a frequent visi­tor there ns a guest of a young .friend of mine, also a member, who has con­ceived a partiality for the skillful card player and is paying a rather high; price for the acquaintance;.

“I t is not necessary that I should state more than that my young friend Is a man of ample means, obstinate to the degree of pugnacity and not a• little self• opinionated. ‘ Although I have

.i. tried again and again to ’ convince him I that the Muck', o f liis A:acquaintance Items too consistent to be legitimate, he steadfastly refuses to listen to me, declaring that he Is not to be intim­idated by : a . 1 Ittle lll fortune. And so he goes on playing—and goes on puy-

! Ing. I have watched the play closely, but am quite, unable to detect any trick or dodge on the part of the sus­pected mail. 1 cannot, therefore, put forward anything tangible, to :Iiis detri­ment or charge him with any offense. Whatever his trick may be, it must be a very clever ono and of a somewhat

. novel description.. I have carefully ex­amined the cards, some methods of marking which I have* had described to me, but have failed to trace the s ligh t­est signs of their having been tamper­ed wJtli;.. The ordinary^cjub cards are used, which: renders It all the. more; juT. explicable how tho fellow contrives to; work trickery with them. It struck mo that perhaps it might be a question of manipulation, but I could not dis-

• cover anything beyond the Ordinary handling. It was while in this dilem­ma that the Idea occurred to me tliat you,. Mr. Devant, might: be able to clear lip the mystery. May I count upon your assistance?” ■* \

“Certainly,” . I replied. “I shall be very pleased to render you what serv­ice I can In the matter,'* '

As a matter of fact, Sir George.hud piqued my curiosity* for, knowing a good deal about card trickery, I was. eager to discover what cunning meth­od of swindling—If any—the.suspected man was resorting to.

“Do you’ know anything about' the man?” I asked.

“Very little,” replied Sir George, “ex­cept-that he is known as Mr. De Lacy, and is apparently of French extract loui speaking with a slight accent. Beyond this .there; is mucli that Is niysterlous

. about him. My friend knows nothing of him; he Is merely one of those cas­ual acquaintances it Is so easy to make in this cosmopolitan city of ours.” ; :

“What games, dpes lie. favor?'’ j; ’ V"; '*He plays most of the gambling

games, but If be has a farorlte I should . think it was solo.”.

“And in the event, of my discovering any trickery, should you make a police matter of It?” •

“No, I don’t desire to do. that. I want to unmask tho follow, expose him thero and then,.convince my ob- Btlnate frieud and have the sharper kicked out of the club.’.’

I entered into the affair with zest. An appolntmeut was fixed up for a certain .evening, upon . which I found myself In the c«rd room of the B. club, bent upon creating a “scene.” There was a goodly • assembly of members nnjl friends, and the room presented an

: animated appearance, with Its groups: of faultlessly attired clubmen gather* ed round thc little green topped tables.I was invitpd by Sir George to join In a friendly game,. haying been already Introduced to his frieud, Mr. V., a tall, dark, clean shaved gentleman.. By de­sign our table was placed close to that at which the suspected man, with -Mr. V, nnd others, '"as sented, I was thus

^enabled to 'watch the-, movements, of '.Mr. De Lacy witliout exciting , suspi­cion. I judged De Lacy to be a man turned forty, with a beard which was' beginning to turn gray,.rather sparse fair .hair, a somewhat pallid face and broad shoulders. He did not altogeth­er lack a certalu air. of refinement.

Tho play proceeded. I had provlQus- Jy; taken the opportunity; of examining'

'.Home of tin*•(•lull but h;id foundnptblny in. any way.’Mi* ijclous about

L;thi«ii». /;• Our/^neighbors were playing,

solo, and .the luck appeared to be: fluc­tuating a good deal,. Mr, V. winning occasionally. But this did not last; long, and presently Mr. De Lacy began to gather in a rich harvest. I watched closely, but could detect-nothing to the: discredit of the suspec%.d one if you except a faculty for %vilining. Now and again a half.muttered imprecation from Mr. V ., told; that I>e Lacy had once more, scooped tlie pool. ;

The ‘ evening was. unproductive of any thing practical in tbe. way of dis­covering trickery, yet there was some­thing indefinable, about this man J>e Lacy :which suggested fraud to me arid which made me more than ever deter- mined to solve: the mystery of his: won­derful ‘‘luck.” ; r therefore arranged to attend another night under similar eiiv cumstances, but even then nothing of j moment occurred. I obtained, how­ever. a kind of vague Idea, the accura­cy of which I wan desirous of putting* to the test.. At the close o f play I spoke to Sir George. .

“I notlcc that Mr. Pe Lacy Invariably wears smoked glasses at the table,” I said. “Has he weak sight?”

"I believe so. He says that the glare of the gas troubles his eyes.”

“I have au Idea that those glasses play some sort of part In the trickery/'I said thoughtfully. “I don’t know how ; but, coupled with a certain move­ment of one'of his hands, they are sug­gestive,/ I propose to make n .test, and I should like to make the following ar-. rangement: I will take, my place at your table, as • usual, another' night, After having played for a\vhile I shall ask. to be allowed to give;up oil .the score of being tired. You. will , agree and take no further, particular notice of me. I f I make a discovery shall T expose the man openly?”

“Certainly!” replied ' Sir George em­phatically. >

, The appointed night arrived. The room was full, as usual.. As before, our table was situated close to that at which ‘ sat De .Lacy and others. The man wore his. customary look of Im­perturbable good humor—and his smok­ed glasses. UIs party was playing solo, witli tile usual varying luck, :prepon- . derating. In the long run with De Lacy." The. cards were shuflled arid dealt Two “passed,” Mr. V; “propped,” but De Lacy called, “Abundance.”

“Again I” ejaculated Mr. V. in amaze­ment.

De Lacy smiled Indulgently. He hail a splendid hand and got home easily.

A t this Juncture I gave up as ar­ranged, aud, rising carelessly from my seat strojled a few yards with the ap­parent desire to “stretch my legs,” I worked round by/degrees until I had got directly behind De- Lacy and quickly donned a pair ; of smoked glasses, with which I had come prepar­ed. He had just scored another “abun­dance” when, gazing over his shoulder at • the cards through my smoked glasses,. I discovered the sccret, of his trickery;

“There Is no playing against such luck!” protested Mr. V, half angrily.

‘'There Is no playing against such cheating!” - I exclaimed, snatching some, cards from the table. Then, ere De . Lacy.. could - make a• movement,^,I thrust several fingers into one of his waistcoat pockets. , With an exclama­tion of anger he rose to his feet, bu t; staggered back when he perceived that I also was wearing smoked glasses.

“Gentlemen,” I exclaimed, “it is. my. , painful duty’, to inform you that you have in your midst a professional card' sharper!” ’ .

The whole room was immediately in an uproar. All the men left their ta­bles and crowded around us. De Lacy at first betrayed a trembling- lip, but presently, with an effort, lie gained control of himself aud thereafter main-" talued au air of clogged defiance.

“This mau,” r continued, “has bceu marking the cards with luminous paint,' a small quuutity of which he keeps in ; his wastcoat pocket aud conveys to the cards with his finger nails. Tho paint, quite Invisible in this brilliantly light­ed room, he Is able to see by moans of his smoked glasses. Will some of you kindly examine these cards through the glasses I brought with me for the; purpose of unmasking this man? Loolf at my lingers- too,‘which I just now - thrust into his waistcoat pocket;1' . :

Eagerly the eiubmen crowded round; me, aud au examination was made all round. By the aid of the glasses the tiny .paint' marks of the cards were clearly detected, as well as the smear on my fingers. Tho fraud was fully exposed. With cries of indlguatlon the clubmen advanced upon the trickster, and things began to look ugly" for the' ingenious De Lacy. He was. very roughly , handled, denuded of his ill gotten gaius aud tlien literally kicked out of the club.

Mr. V., convinced at last that he had. been fleeced by an unscrupulous rogue, tendered an upology to his fellow' mem­bers for introducing under a misappre­hension such a disreputable individual Into tbe clpb, an apology that was, of course, at once accepted. Ho also thanked Sir George and myself,

I have not since heard or seen any­thing of >Ir. ,De Lucy, under .that dr any other name. • Ho doubtless con- lidered It expedient to seek fresh woods and pastures new after Ills dls- roncertlug experiences, but his trick was a smart oue, perhaps the smartest I havo ever eucountered.—Wide World.

T H E GLAM ’S NECK.

Persons who have seen soft sbeli clams as,they lay in a pan In the kitch­en preparatory to being cooked scarce*: ly recognize them lhfthelr natural state.; Many of us who. have seen clams know ■that they; have; “nocks,’.’ but are ig­norant, of the purpose aiid character* istics of this attachment. As. they lie on the ground they are far from being close mouthed. In fact, they are sel­dom to bo seen with the sbeir closed. From ono end . projects ' tlie “neck,”- which may be three times , as loiig as the shell when fully extended.. This fact, in case the “neck” Is stVctolled out, makes oho wonder hciwv such a length can be contracted ’. In to such , a small spaca and hoSV much remains In the shell after tlie “neck” has, been elongated. This Is the astonishing char­acteristic1 of the soft shcJJed clam and the one that makes him unrecognizable to so nmny people.’ One of the elamsV for Instance, is three, Inches long, His “neck” when extended is possibly eight or nine inches Jong and as large Jirpuhd as a pian’s middle fiuger.

As every one knows, the clam wheu in its native haunts is to. be found sev­eral Inches below tlie surface of . the sand.: He: has to bo dug up when dis­covered by the little spurts of water, which the clam beneath throws up when disturbed.

This “ neck” connects tbe clum.’ wlth his food supply lu the water above. In the “neck” are: parallel tubes. Through one tube the clam sucks in a quantity of water. From the water lie absorbs whatever nourishment it may contain and then expels the water through* the other; tube. .

One may wonder how* the clam gets i into the sand or mhd.. At, the end op­posite the “neck” may be seen an ap­pendage resembling a 'turtle’s tail in shape and called n foot. It Is with this foot that he digs his way downward.— Detroit Free Press. .

ORIGINAL GRETNA GREEN.M a n r Cam e Acrbjm B n g lln li B order to

H ave th e K n o t T ied.

A recent writer on the departed glo­ries of the original Gretna Green.in. Scotland has this to say of the “priests” who did the marrying for the hurrylug( anxious persons who came to them from across the English border: “The men who took up the trade of marry­ing hod often been previously engaged In some other occupation. Some were stonemasons, some were weavers aud many were border Idlers and poachers. Among these idst It Is possible that a blacksmith may at some' time have taken to joining bands insteud of Iron, but no one of the calling ever rose to fame In the marriage llhe,”

Joseph Paisley, who first niiide the marriage trade “hum,” Is described as nothing better than a drunken free­booter. But ho was equal to this In­cident: “On one occasion his services were required simultaneously-• by two couples, both In a desperate burry, and after the ceremony it was discovered .that, by a trifling mlstakei the- >vrong brides hud. bridegrooms bud becu unit­e d / ‘Awell,', said Paisley contentedly, 'jest sort yersels.’ ”. Eventually' the “Gretna priests” be­came so numerous, competition so keen, that they waited on the Engjlsh border for tlie arrival of “customers;” None of them obtained a reputation for riches, nor were they able. to retire on their earnings, .but died In harness. The usual price for celebrating a mar­riage was half a crown (38^ cents), but one poor couple got off for sixpence, and a still poorer couple for pence. —Chicago News.

WANGKANG CEREMONIES.I Io w the Chinese A ttra c t a n d Then

Destroy E v i l S p ir its ,

Recently the Chinese residents Of the Straits Settlements had a great proces­sion, called .“wangkang,” to get rid of a large' accumulation of evil spirits, says a ; writer In the Chicago News. Ceremonies of this sort are held by the Chiucse about once in fifteen years. The plan is to construct a richly.deco­rated junk, till It with dainty eatables, money, live animals, incense and. other tempting things and then to take it about the city wltb music aud appro­priate singing and great pomp gener* ally. .

This causes the evil spirits to come out. to see what is going on. Behold­ing the splendid junk and Its rure con­tents, they crowd inside. Demons of sickness are especially sought for and snared. . . .

After the junk has been sulllcleutly paraded so tha*- It is chock full of de­mons, it is burned and the evil spirits, perish. Formerly the Juuk was set adrift on the ocean, but sometimes It was stranded on some Island or other, causing great suffering to the inhab­itants thus exposed to tho attacks of tbe murooued spirits. So now the Junk is burned at the close of each ceremony, of thc sort. . i ;

“In the summer of 1872 I was visit­ing on*; the Warm Springs reservation in eastern Oregon," says a writer. ‘‘The residences of the government em^ ployees were in a-deep valley between table lands through which; the. water courses had cut deep canyons, I climb­ed up on oue of .these tables, the-edge of, which was in most places perpen­dicular for ten, twenty and more feet, and as I stood there, IU a strong breeze, blowing against the', face of the slope a small hawk came gliding along eight or teii- feet above the edge anci folibw- ;ing the course of the edge, and he kept pii;until he was: little more;tlmii a rod. away from nie. rile, seemed to be inak-.- lng no effort except: a little balancing- and turning in order to sfeer hiinself. The- explanation, seeiiicd to iiie very simple. Just there at the edge thero was . a strong, sharply -ascending cur­rent which enabled him to use wind and gravity against each other.

“in the autumn of that year I went to Fuchaii, China, and there I found tlie: city.- frequented by a species of. large bird which we ciill a • kite, i t seems to be half hawkl half buzzard, In its biilld and habits. Its flight, is heavy and awkward, its.wings being too big for Its. pectoral miiscles, and their tips are not pointed like, a hawk’s but broad aud square across. But i t is a master of the art of souring. There are In Fuchuu - two hills which lie square across tlie path of the after­noon. sea breeze. • Here: toward tile close of it breezy autumn afternoon a dozen or a scoi e of these kites will; resort and have' a genuine coasting gauie.', • * '. “Thesej hillsides ure'quite steep, and

of course there results a strong, sharp upward current at the top. The kites come to the top and,, starting from the eddy In the lee of the top, glide out into the.uprushing current, wings bal­ancing up and down and head and tali turning and twisting till they are in. the heart of the upward current, and tbeu they turn broadside to it nnd are borne upward, and'backward seventy-' five, or a hundred feet. Then they de­scend again into the eddy and again steer themselves out Into the.uprushing current. Throughout It all there is very little flapping of. the wings.”—Chicago News. :-* . . • ; ■ • ...;

“A fisherman landing a trout on a light roil with never a finger on the reel Is quite a coinmon mistake among magazine illustrations, and in the mat^ ter of costumes of various periods the illustrators are woefully lacking in in­formation.

“To illustrate hoW’ apt we are. to make mistakes,” continued the cartoon­ist, “several years ago I drew a Ugure representing. <’uba, emaciated, starv- lug^ a t**.!iig of skin and bones.

Ceylon, in local tradition, was the garden o f : Eden, and . you will be shown Adam’s peak to prove It, and Adam’s bridge, the chaiii of rocks and Islets; which tiie maps show, stretching across from Ceylon to the coast of In ­dia. Eve, or Helm, as the eastern sto­ry calls her, was well satisfied with her lot in the garden of. < ’ey Ion, but Atainl, manlike, showed, u disposition to rove, or, iis we might now,say, emi­grate. Olio day while wandering on the west coast he met a strange, man, .who in the course of coUVjurSatlon held before hi in a fascinating paiiorama of the lovely, country across the:waters— gardens arid. richbrcbarfls; ; Valleys teemliig with birds. and gazelles and all; th0‘ rest. ;Atami had seen nothing like it. In Ceylon. lie had always been: trying to coax. Ilebn Into emigration witliout success, but liow his mind was, made up, ami lie weiit home to the Shades of Adanrs peiik and ordered her peremptorily to pack up and make ready for a start.. Helm pleaded. hi vain; but. Atami was persistent and led the way across .“Adum’s bridge” to In(lhi,'-where-, he found, to his dls- may, n dreary and forbidding Wilder­ness. The puuorumu man (it will be readily guessetl who he was) had de­ceived Atami, and the disappointed wariderer.; fell into despair. Then it was that the angel inesseuger came and gaVe the (lisobedient Atami orders to go on into the desert and wild piaces and suffer the puulshinent thut w*as his due. ‘ Ataml’s nobility, of spirit showeil Itself, here, for ..he begged the angel to iutercede thut his own puu- Isliinent might , lie doubled aud Heba permitted to return , to the. garden of Eden and be given a. fresh mate and, a fresh start!

D R . M A R S H A L L'S LE C T U R E A SUCCESS

T a 'l s o f H is T r ip T h r tu g l) la n d ol Evangeline lo La rg e Audience

Rev* Dr. James William , Marshall delivered a most entertaining and in­structive lecture In St. Paul church last Thursday evening upon "A Sum­mer Trip Through the < Land of Evangeline,” to an audience of near­ly two hundred persons.

It. was after much consideration that Dr. and Mrs, Marshall, with their- little daughter' Mary, then six years old, concluded to spend their vaca­tion in Acadia, the land so beautifully, described by Longfellow, and after reading the tale of Evangeline several times, started on.the journey, proceed* ed to Philadelphia and tried but fail­ed to locate the graves of Gabriel, son of Basil, the blacksmith, and Evange­line who, tradition said, were buried In a little Catholic cemetery' In the Quaker City.

From Philadelphia they sailed down the Delaware, en route to Boston, and a few days were enjoyabiy enent In the historical city. -Among the places of most Interest, they visit­ed Mount Auburn cemetery and saw the tombs of William Carey, the mis­sionary to India, and Henry W; Longr fellow. They visitedHhe home of the author which is still preserved intact, and by special permission were ad* mltted. They <sat;ln his study, saw the old. clock on the sta.irs/ and- the chair made from the spreading chestnut tree, which was . , presented to Longfellow by .the; children of Cam­bridge. They visited the site of the Boston Tea Party and while there tlie patriotic little child asked' “Papa, don't-vou think the water In the har­bor, still tastes of the tea?”;- From there they visited Plymouth Rock and :the. little girl was much dis­appointed upon not being allowed to bring home the sword of Miles Stand- ish for a souvenir.

From there they sailed forYarmouth; N. S., and arrived safely after some

sinks' Caused by tlie dense fogs. They visited the Dusket Isles, which Is said to contain one Island for each day of the year. During this part ot

• th e voyage, Mrs. M arshall■ ■ and h er• dnuchter occupied the captain’s state- vooni and Dr. Marshall roughed it.

They were received as the guests, of the postmistress of one of the leading towns and spent several days most enjoyabiy. .

'Cai>e Sable Islands was the place of most importance visited during the tripi- but space wili not allow iis to de­scribe the marvelous and beautiful scenery as described by: Dr. Marshall.

When threatened With sea-sickness. Dr. Marshall, in accordance with the captain’s; advice, “took a turn at the wheel,” which had the desired effect, and he then , tried 1t upon Mrs. Mar­shall, with the same result.

Dr. Marshall told of a most inter­esting visit to the Ifght house and up* on the return from there being sur­rounded by beds of quicksand and compelled to shout at the top of his voice for instructions as to how to get past the danger. : ; . :

He was advised by an old sailor, who heard the shouts and responded from the distance. .

Dr. Marshall spoke in most, glowing terms of the natural, Christian char­acter of the; Inhabitants of Nova •Scotia, and - the manner in which he ' was entertained.

WASHINGTON LETTERWashington, Dec. 5, 1005/;

A striking1;, report' that has as Its object the bettering of conditions In t h e Philippines, has just b e e n issued by Col. Clhrence , Edwards, Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. Since the government, has taken into its, keeping, either temporarily or other­wise, 10,000,000 more wards, most of them dusky, It Is the object of ; the bureau having the most direct dealing with them to give them every chance to improve their condition; Col. Ed­wards strongly recommends the pass ago of the Court’s bill,; which passed the House last Bession but was buried in the Senate. T h lB provides for the abolition of duties between the United States, and the Philippines on; everything except sugar and tobac­co, and the reduction of the duties on' these staples to 25 per cent, of the Dlrigley rates. At the close of the ten year period, during which Spain was to have equal treatment with the United States In the Islands, these re- mallng duties are also to.be abolish-: efl.. The report states that this miti­gation of of customs barriers Is abso­lutely necessary to furnish the island with a good-and staple market. The next thing needed is a. bank that will relieve the farmers from tlie blood­sucking usury they now suffer. Nearly all of them have from season to season borrow' money on their crops. For this they have to .pay from 2 to ip. per cent, a month. The bank, If established, would be under the control of the Phillpphip Com­mission, and thus ; limited in the amount of interest, It W'ould be. llm- Ited also to securities approved by the commission. , These, however, would include growing cropsv and they are the chief source of the farm­ers’ borrowing strength.: The divi­dends of the bank would be guaran­teed by , the Phlllpplhe government for a term of 25 years, but there is little doubt that* the Institution would be more' than self-supporting from the start. There, is a great neeed of ad­ditional transportation;: ■ facilities In the islands, and although the govern­ment has authorized the construction of a thousand miles of. new railways, ■It. is:said that;the amount, could‘be.in- creased to advantage. The ocean carrying trade is discussed In the re­port. It is said that from; 60 to : 7,5 per cent Of the Imports and exports are now carried under the Britisji flag. America has only io per cent, of the carrying trade, but even this' is an Improvements over the previous year. France, stands next to Eng­land, in the list of carriers and Ger­many- shows a decided falling off.;

It Is announced at the State De­partment that Col. Colton, the gen­eral receiver of the customs service in San Domingo had returned to Washington on business of a person­al nature that will not keep him long. But. he reports .conditions In the Island much Improved since the United States took bold of the cus­tom houses. There Is a genera}, feel­ing In South American republics that a revolution cannot flourish without the aid of the custom houses, and this is a well founded .belief. Since the United States has had the revenues in charge, there has .been no chance for an uprising and the country Is en­joying an unusual era of peace and prosperity.

News received at the State Depart­ment Indicates considerable hope that Turkey will yield to the demands of the United Powers regarding the re­forms In Macedonia, and it was ad­mitted at the Turkish legation that nothing to the contrary, Indeed noth­ing at all, had been heard, from the home government. There was a story In circulation that one .reason why Turkey was presenting such an ob­stinate front to the rest of the world was that she was receiving the covert support of Japan in her recal­citrant attitude. This rumor was re­ported to. the Japanese minister* Mr. Takahfra, but he denied ft Indignant­ly, and said that It had been set afloat b yenemles of Japan In the hope of hurting her standing with the rest of the world.

There Is naturally more gossip about the chairmanship-of the Appro­priations Committee Inv 'tlie House than about almost any?bther piece of minor politics just now, and’ It la said that Speaker Cannon ;Has practically decided on Representative James , A.. Tawney. of Minnesota, for the £lace. Speaker Cannon was personally well disposed toward; Representativie Mc- Cleary, also of Minnesota, • for the place. He is an acknowledged tariff expert and is on the ways and means committee. So also Is Mr. Tawney and it is probable that Speaker Can­non will shift Mr. Tawney to the ap-' 'propdations chairmanship as he is considered personally strong and in­dependent enough to stem the rush, that will assuredly be made at the treasury by appropriation seekers In spite of the fact that this lias been heralded far In advance as a retrench­ment Congress. *

J R . 0 . U . A. M. BODYJMTEND SERVIBE IN WEST GROVE

CtmmunibD Sunday Thus Appropriately Ob- senred. Sermon By W . 0 , Harris

West Grove Council, Jr. O. U. A. M„; was represented at West Grove M. E. church last Sunday evening by forty members, who attended' . In a body. There Was an unusually large congregation present, arid the; pastor; Rev. D. B. Harris, chose for his text,' “Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to. do do It with all thy might (Ecclesiastes, ix, part verse 10). Mr. Harris said:. ; “Life :is teeming., with resporisibili-. ties. We may think it would be a blessing if we could throw off these responsibilities. The worth of a sin­gle life Is inconceivable. Every life Is clothed with peculiar interest. To me there is no morbidness or sadness in visiting a cemetery, for I love to think of all that come In those lives— every one had an individuality, just as we have. There arb hot only per­sonal Interests in each life, but they are Intertwined with others, and in­tertwining also pervades every organ­ization; it is Its root, r ' ; \ - “ The text .suggests the idea of do­ing .something. Those ' whose: .char­acter is of; the, right kind are always seeking for something to do. -Every Individual needs to have two ele- roenfsj. viz;High purpose and effort to attain that purpose. Life, is what we make, not discounting the divine leading.” ':.r v * .f ' *; Pas tor Harris, to Illustrate, 1 con­trasted two lives, both 'of which are found in every community. The first was a young .man well born in a good Christian family;well educated - at hoifie and school;; not vicious, having respect, for the ordinary proprieties of life, both civil, arid religious; given good business ad vantages,..able to do well, yet he seemed effortless, had no special purpose in life,- just drifted, and when he was gone hot missed. The other boy was. born in poverty and everything was against him. He had neither education, Influence nor advantagesno:; talent, no opportuni­ties .'to get anywhere or be anything. Yet,: conscious; of the manhood in. him, he determines to make the best of himself, does so, and when he passes away, : even though . his circle of friends be limited, his loss is felt deeply. '

“Your order,” continued. Mr, Harris, addressing the Juniors,, “has In it helpful members as well as those who are drones. This is true of every or­ganization; .;v;.; ••. “There; is a distinction between machinery and’ p ow e rM an . is a complicated i piece of machinery. All his parts are made for a purpose, and if one part suffers, all suffer. He has a mind of peculiar construction. But he has something’ superior ; to both body and /mind—the aoul. 'Arid won­derful as it is, how often is it wreck­ed by running it in the -wrong direc­tion; it Is. not run: by the. right power. There Is only one kind of power that will run the soul; rigbt—the power' of God’s .spirit.. > V '

“There is good done without this power, no doubt, but with -it the ef­fort' would be much better. He who constructs a machine is the beat one to run it. God knows best how to run us.... ' x ’v.i* . . ;

“Two principles of your order* have attracted my attention—a flag on every school and a Bible In every school.;. Emulate these noble princi­ples. ' -V''.

“The flag—what; does It represent?. Not merely a pretty combination of colors. No, not that. Inherent value Is represented by it—loyalty, patriot­ism, devotion, philanthropy, peace. Never disgrace,the flag.-

“The Bible is not merely a book. It represents ■ divine ; truth, righteous­ness, holiness, the life here and the life hereafter heaven and Godl ; :

“With ' these principles ^enshrined: • within you; your lives will be a. suc­cess here arid: your..hereafter will be spent with God.” \ \ ■

After thfe sermon the Lord’s Supper Was administered; and Mr. Harris spoke briefly upon this latter event.

: Van’ s Grocery T a lk n :. Just a little, after Thanksgiving, but

not .too late for a word-w two,about eatables. -Jlope .you have'air’spent 4 happy thanksgiving day InAhe reunlon- of families, partaking of good things, and thankful for the blessings of tbe past year.

Although we all feel-like eating a big dinner on Thanksgiving day, and do what wo car. to accomplish It, the next day and the day thereafter brings Its needs o£ the body luat the same. I am ready at all times to supply you1 with the necessaries, of life and the luxuries as w«ll. My goods range in' prices from the cheapest toi, standard. BSar In mind, ,my cheap goods are good,_ n t- trash. Close buying makes the price low, but riot tbe quality. I .won't sell what I wouldn’t ;ent myself. Here is a~ two-pound can , of baked beans' for ,Q cents; - a can of peaches for 18 cents; a can of apples for 10 cents, spinach and strawberries at tho samo price.

Sour^krout Is ripe and of good qual­ity. Had a hard Job getting the right kind of cabbage to mako. It, but-suc­ceeded, .

There has, been lots of advertising of cheap meat, but, oh, my! Some pf the meat I have seen so advertised is —well, I gues3 I had better not aay It. Just, let a New York meat Inspector ■flriid 'something similar in the city. I am not telling you w;hat he would do with It, but you can guess., Como in arid look at mine.

Antoine 9>s

By Virginia Leila Wentz

Copyright, 190$, by A". M. Whitehead •

Oue August uioruluK. with bin high , leather leggings, hiK easy costumo, his

fishliig basket and tackle, Paul Blake;

• strode along through thc dew wet Cana- : dlan grass. He.knew of a certain deep iiollow in the brook which on such a gray moist day as jlils would be the haunt of juicy trout,.and for the sheer Joy ot expectation lie whistled. For equal to Blake’s love, for the art of painting was his lovo for the spurt of fishing. lie was not only enjoying his summer gathering French Canadian

landscapes; he was reveling. In Ills f a ­vorite sport as well.

After an hour of successful llsliiu£ lu the quiet spot ^yhlch he had selected he spied a splendid trout tucked cozlly uuder a stone. But It was written in the book ol' fate that this Hsh and the frying pan shoultl not .lightly bu brought together. Fly * af ter liy was thrown. In yaln. liowu through the crystal clear water he could 'see the sieek sides anil the round, unspeeula: tive eye of his Iutended victim^ aud he resolved to try the method of tickling.

;V So lie undid hi?; sleeve links, bared his- prm and knelt upon the lichens, flinging with one hand to an overhang­ing birch. He was dipping cautiously toward the water .when there lu* the pool before him, close to the reflection

\;of his own,-. Hashed nnother face.•' It was a gjrl’p face, and Jn.-Its un­

usual iovollness It lay for a second like •some magic picture. The next second Blake observed with a thrill that the vlsloii was being chniiged by the“cur- reut and that his own blond curls were made to trespass.gently over the girl’s dark oues. Then while he gazed at the reflectIon with Xarclssus:llke lutent- iiess the other face vanished,ns smlden- i.v.ns.lt had como.

Springing to his’feet, Blake perceived the bent trunk of an uldei* which pro­jected across the stream from tho.top of the hank.aboye, and lie knew tliat the girl ' must have been leaning ‘over, thp trunk-froi'u that higher bank, uncon­scious of his. presence, uutll,. like a startled deer, she fled.

<4She was like biie of Murillo’s gypsy eyed Madonnas!”, he cxcIaimed. And, though he weut on for a while .longer with his trout fishing, the sport seemed to have lost a bit of flavor.

The next day Paul Blake drew iip his j horse before the kitchen (lorn* o f a ■whitewashed farmhouse, and Antoine Martin rose to greet him.

“Bienvenue, m’sleu,” said he, with old French hospitality. “And will m’sleu. d ism ount V” . . .

Blake'did dismount, and as he stood In the wide doorway ho tried to ac­count for his presence. He was a. painter, forsooth, and doing this section of Cannda. lie had already collected a good many views, but among them

; ull there was not oue more wonderful -than that \\|hlch coUId be obtained from the level plateau on which Antoine's farm stood. # ltr^vas as If the hills had .here withdrawn to leave au arena for1 some great spectacle, some ancient savage pageant. Might lie, therefore, be permitted to fetch his easel and palette and to put upon canvas the liar- mon/and beautjr of It all? . '

Blake, saw the lithe figure of a girl sitting opposite to 1dm, her arms upon the table, her dimpled faco with the Murillo eyes framed In both hands, her scarlet lips parted in breathless listen­ing, hanging upou his words. Ah, luck was with him, to be sure. If lie had lost the trout-yesterday ho had found the girl today..

“Como here, cherle,” sa Id old Antoine to the girl, and to the stranger, “My ulece, Marie/*

♦ * *. - *. * _■.

- “But, you little water sprite, you lit-, tie Undine, however did you get your face so mixed up with mine that day in the pool?” Blake asked one morning as Marie stood watching him at work ou his canvas. •

“Eh, blen, m ’sleu, I bad gone out for a pique-nlque ou the barrens, and—ra­in ass e lea gran ages—what you call pick berries,” she answered In her fpiaiut English speech, eked out with bits of patois here and there. Then she ox-; plained how she’d leaned over the

. trunk.of the tree from the bank above to wash her stained tiut'ors; how, just as she was in the act of dipping down, she had seen his reflection in the wa­ter and was startled.

Between the strokes of his brush Blake took surreptitious glances at. the .willowy figure, half holding back the apple boughs as sho talked, half swing­ing ou them. Rebel locks had broken out of confinement and were curling damply about her warm, white neck and that crumpled roso leaf of an ear. Ah, she was exquisitely delightful! That same day he said to Antoine:

!. “I f you' would permit Mile. Marie to / Bit to me, and if . Mile. Marie will con­sent”—he questioned the Murillo eyes, which silently gave him his answen. then fell beneath his own—“I could do a painting that was worth while.”

So the1 August days passed till the brief Canadian summer was over. Al­ready they had started to burn tho wood tliat Antoine had cut for winter use.: \Vhile the piled up logs sent red lights . flickering about the plastered wails and shining floor, they would often show that Blake had joined the Martin home group aud was reading to old Antoine, who listened 'Soberly be­tween long whiffs at' his /pipe. Marie •would, sit on the high backed bench . near the clock, knitting,1' stealing^ a

glance now and then at the. volume which lay open on the table.

Antoine,' good, - sturdy old Antoine, had. Just been offered the ppsltion .of foreman of a gaiig.lu the .pineries at tlie headwaters of the Li eyres. IIP had worked In the 1 uni ber; camps for years, but: never as foreman, forsooth. Nev­ertheless he hesitate*! about accepting it. There * was poor., little Marie; he pointed out to Blake. What would be­come of her?- y

“Poor little Marie!” Kor the uext few days Blake did a good deal of thinking. Marie had never read Henry James or Meredith, It was true; she had never seen a poster lady, liner heard ‘.'Ca­mille,” aud yet in her setting siie was perfect. Moreover, she. was tho sort to adapt herself readily to new environ­ments. -And why not?” he argued UnalJy to himself “JSlie is pure, beau­tiful. and capnblc of the. deepest, tcii- dercst feellng.s. What she has not Is the superficial gloss of.soeletj*. That I do'not want.” ;

One evening, pushing .4ils book aside, Blake glanced across at Alarie, whose eyes, as usual, were bent- on her knit­ting, She was Ini mm lug softly to her­self an old Canadian boat song:

. “DoaccnUez.a I'ombic,Ma jollo blonde.*' • ;

Blako had often heard It above the blow of the oars in the* rowlocks, but never liad tiie Vord s - seem ed W fi ttiiig as tonigh t. • He rose-.suddenly and la id a hand on Aiiiplne\s; sliould.er:. !’ .. “Let tne take Mamseli.e- Marie■•for-Jd1 little; stroll hi the starlight,” he said pleadingly. • *irs warm in here, i will take good care of her.?’

.. y “J3hK'in’sieu {” ; Tiie old inan dropped his pipe and gauged him silently for a second with those black beaded eyes of.his. Wliat lie. read in. the*younger man’s face imis^ have satisfied him, for ho said finally, with a little move­ment of his hand: **It must not he far. See you. m’simi V And, it cannot be for long.” ■ . •

Outside through the dusk there was- a silvt-r.V gliiiiriier. j The wood land stir

Jseemeil JiHe- a sigh.:Blake lopke(l down, closely; jut o 11 ic .1 j ttlo - fa ce >beslde. h ini; In the. mind of tlie girl something in­definable had arisen,’ sonieihlng whlcli had stolen away all. her gay caprices aud set her trembling.

“Ma petIte blonde!” Blake, used• the soft provincial word for sweetheart that'Marie had used In her song. .Uis tone was one of gentle entreaty;*ids attitude was that of reverence. •

“Ma petite blonde,” he repeated, tak­ing her hand and lifting it softly to his lips, “I want you for my little wife. Will you let me take care of you al­ways?”-

She looked at him with wide, sur­prised eyes and slightly parted lips..

“You, m'sleu?” she said breathlessly. “You to take ni re of me?”... It seemed }ncre<llble..

For answer he drew her to him as a knight of old would have drawn a lady and looked into her lovely face. His blue eyes and her Murillo eyes' met und pledged each other In deep drafts of gazing; then with a superb motion of surrender Mnrie reache<t up and put her arms about bis head.

Thus In reality, did his blond curls trespass gently over the. girl's dark ones, even as once they had seemed to do In that reflection in the pool. And thus was brought about the winning, of Antoine's. Mane.

A K ln ff 'f l h ic oR rn lto .

Probably, the most complete Incognito on record was that adopted by King Charles of Roumanla on his way to take possession of the Wallachlan throne.

At the.time the- relations between Austria and Prussia were exceedingly strulned—It was just before the out­break, of war between these two na­tions—and the Vienna government was known to be. strongly opposed to a prince of the house of Ilohenzollerh ascending tlie throne of Houmanla.

It was feared, therefore, that obsta­cles might be placed to the, passage over Austrian territory of. the neyvly elected sovereign of tho Wnllachs, Ac­cordingly ICIng Charles traveled down the Danube on bourd the Austrian steamboats disguised as a servant and lu the secoud or third class cabin.

The two or three members of his. suit, who of course were hi the first class cabin, nflect.ed to treat .him with the utmost severity and contempt and assailed him with loud reproaches for; alleged iiegligonce in his menial duties.

It was only on setting foot on Rou­manian territory that the roles ’ were reversed' aud that those who had re­mained ou board the steamer; were able -to. witness.the ccrempnious wel- come accorded by the Wallachlan au­thorities to the erstwhile yalet and footman.

.'.H ire r Fan era I* In Germany.

The river Spree, which ruus through Berlin, has a habit of almost continu­ously. oversowing itp banks. As a' re­sult ' tiie lowlands beyond: thc cltyv c a ll^ ; SprejDwa|d; are almost iihvays under water lu .summer and covered with lee In winter. Much of the sum­mer traffic is done on skates and with lledges. The postman delivers his mall either in a bout or on skates, the chil­dren skate to school, and the ladles go to market on the. water wagon or on the ice. ■

Even the dead are carried along the river to their last resting place hi a coffin resting on a bier In a boat cov; ered with flowers. Tlie hearse Is pad- died by two.of tho undertaker’s assist­ants. In the first boat following are the clergymen and the family, and. the usual loitg.line of Cqachcs Is supplant­ed by a long line of boats. These are paddled-sometimes by men, sometimes, by women j but always by some of.the; friends of the deceased.. These water funerals are very picturesque as they wend their way through the temporary channels caused by the* overflowing Spree.

’The Audeah condor in the.flying cage a t . 11 ic Bronx Zoo I oglca j pa iic. New -York, turned his ;scra\vny iiead to one side and squinted down at tbo grouud beneath him, over Ids'broad white, rult.

Five men had just entered the. CijgO. They had nets with theni. Evi- dcntSy .something of Importance was ubunt*to be done;

The men distributed themselves about the cage, some In the middle and some at the ciids. .For a couple of houl's the scene reminded one of a- chicken roost which.has suildenly been, disturbed. For all their appearance of wisdom , the birds soon displayed the fact that tliey Were easily “rattled.” .They figuratively, iis well as literally,' **llew all to pieces.” The birds; tired out, one after another,, were captured and carried out to a smaller Inclosure in a closetl building. The condor dls* proved, the saying of the.Spanish sage regarding the catching' of old birds with chuff, lie left his-percii-.and de: * scended .to get a better view of the’ trouble. Finding himself tpo near, for comfort, lie Hew back again. Then he lost his head with the others arid, flap­ping hither and tillther in' his •ungainly • fashion,' soon found himself upon the ground again, oiie of the men grabbed- him by. tlie • bead. ' Another ' threw a ■ pair of arms around his body and.held' his wings closely. Not. without'a phys-- leal protest did.the condor.-succumb to the Inevitable, lie tried to spread his wings, lie tried to wrench Ids head away.. Tlie men from previous expe­rience, knew what to expect should he succeed in doing either.

'Hie condor must not be sjpiee/.ed too liard, for that would lu- Jure him. lie must not have too much freedom for the play of his wings, for “better one byrde in h:md than, ten Iu the. wood.”

“You must keep your • iiead level, when carrying a condor,” remarked one of the keepers, • “You can’t let yourself get nervous wdien you feel his Wings pushing out under your arms. If he should get his wings loose, why, you might see him climbing the sky. And if you press them too tight you may not only hurt him; but In yohr ex­citement forget about his head! I f his bend gets loose, why, you have a fight on your hands, so tiiere you are.”

While there are-many tropical ani­mals at the Zoological park and in Cen­tral park which must be housed tli rough the winter, yet with the mod­ern equipments of the two menageries the animals do not have to be moved when the season chnnges. They are simply shut inside or outside of their winter shelter, as the case may be,— New York Tribune.

When the sho weir came up the artist, who was walkliig through New Hamp shlz-e on a sketching tour, sought shel .ter under’ a tree, ■ where • lie was soor* joined by-another wayfarerj a mun ol middle age, who looked a sort of better

^class’tramp, and indeed was oue. v The two entered Into, conversation, and it came'out that the wayfarer iyas a harness maker by vocation, but a rover by predilection.

‘‘YesV’ he said, ^i’ni a rolling stoue; Pm iiever happy in one place. I ’m here today. aiid gbne tomorrow. There aiu*t any fossil about m e . I ’m on the tfiove all the; thne. The world Is. made to see, I saj*, and I ’m bound to see all I ,cau of it.” ; :' The, artist began to think that lie-had fa lien' in with a modern Marco Polo, and by way of Ieadlng uji to some in- terestlug anecdotes of tlie antipodes ho remarked: .

“You must have been quite a trav­eler.”

“Well, that’s about so,” the man modestly replied. “I reckon I could find my way over New Hampshire with my eyes shut, and I was once two months in Vermont."

iNolatlon of thc Untanprht Denf .Mute,

The.eye can never take, the place of the-ear. During the first twelve or fourteen years of normal life, knowl­edge enters the mind mainly through the ear. . The little deaf mute is, there­fore, a thousand times more isoluted than the child who Is born blind; In the domain of morals the uneducated deaf mute's isolation is made danger­ous, by tho fact that the allurements to sin arc mostly .addressed to the eye, while Its Vestraluts, in youth at least, are-mainly appeals to tbe ear. More­over. the blind child, cultivating his hearing, is only going back to natnrc^- to bis forbears, the cave dwellers. Next to the search for food, listening for sounds is, perhaps, man's strongest primnl instlaet. The deaf learner, de­pendent solely upon his eyes, bus, of course, the first Instinct, without the safeguard of tho second.—Reader.

The Violin,

It seems strange to think that my violin was once a tree, but I do not know what else could have caught the music that lies within it, waiting for the touch. It must be centuries old, and through all thos^ years It was listening and learning, weaving in with Its growth the forest melodies to sing to generations yet unborn. 1

Wind and wave and song; of bird, crash of thunder, drip of rain and mat­ing call—all of .these are in the fiber of the violin. And the thousand notes of sea and storm, the music of the wa­terfall and stream^-wbat wonder.that lt is so nearly the human voice! There must have been a love Btory in that forest, for It sings love, love and only love, though I do not' remember hear­ing It until I knew you.—Fuel.

StoncM From the Sky.'

Every country und every, ago has its historical, sernHistorical or traditional Btories concerning immense stones fall­ing from tbe sky, or, more properly, from space; Levi tells ’ of a whole shower of aerolites which fell on th'e mountains near Rome in the year 054 3. C. The Arundel marbles (marble tables giving, the events of the Gre­cian history from 15S2 B. C. to-024 B. C. in chronological order) give an account of n great stone which “fell down from luMven” at , .Eogosta'mt about the year 107 B. C.

kills a good niany people. In certain parts of North America cold still more severe puts new‘life into them. It re­quires no argumentation to show that there must be ii definite reason*for this. The chief reason is that English cold is mostly damp,' while in North .Amer­ica it Is mostly dry,- There Is the great­est dlffereiice In the world between dry air aud damp air-.'

The Meaning of Sympathy.It was a clever ‘ Freuchwqmjm who

said: “Those who have suffered much are like, those who know niany • lan­guages, They have learned to under­stand ami to be understood by many. It is an impossibility to fully sympa* thlze with another’s experience unless It has been at some time, one’s own.- In trouble or grief we turn Instlnctivo- ly to some one whom we know*, has been through the same experience; It Is the old human longing for compun- Iouship**that shows Itself. The feeling Is strong within us that she will feel and know with me. Therein lies the meaning of sympathy.”

N!. I'/r. James William Marshall preached sermon.

■ Marshall said: .0 X .'.'The approach to Christmas should 1 b^V announced early by sermon, by ^festival and by the minister of the ichurch. Christmas should not in -ny % aybe a relicj ot the heathen festival, Jutfsbould should breathe out the iaehlngs of/Christ In s ermon and

?jjpt£<3|1tl£>pirlt of .Christ. • The idea, which prevails In the public mind is, M a t it Is a day of gifts and giving: Jrhat is right as far as it goes, but ;there is gre.it need ot caution anti dis­cretion. There Is harm In giving .When the material gift Is * too costly; when it involves debt of the giver; when it engenders regret or jealousy; when the gift Is insincere,

.'r&iven out of pride, or from mere cub

Mr,!‘Dlrectlon should always be given ■j*tbe line that the larger gifts are

the Tetter—those to the poor and /needy, and the visitation to the sick

<?*nd ;heTt)!(f§ss. This emphasizes espe- jjc ia lly j social contact, forgiveness o£ ^enemies, settlement of quarrels, good- fiv jd ll to all.^ ^ vVThie real Christmas involves wor- ^ js h ip , a religious and benevolent festl- Sfval.- Sermons on any topic touching

incarnation- and. Christian prlvi- |Teges may be delivered. Preparation.

, jn’Sror Christmas should be made by the ^^•fife ig ing of appropriate hymns under

MViyijwie. direction of a proper leader and wX^f-lthe pastor. Special offerings should

16 taken; the claims of the needy con- Idered; festivals for the poor arrang-

V£ed; under the direction of capable v'adults.

“Christmas day should be observed the home by spccial family wor-

'|/ship; there should be a soclal-re* V.;lJglous gathering at the church, with Csone dignified public service the same ;v';.aB on Sunday.0

This is only a brief outline of Dr. ;■ ^Marshall's.Idea on the Christmas ob- y^servanee question.' It was the opinion -’of all the preachers that the sermon • ought to be given to the public before

A ifce approaching Christmas festival. r.vi.\ The meeting adjourned with bene-

diction by Rev. George Clarke.

The life of Lincoln reads like a ro­mance,, a fable more than of a poor boy find great American citizen. ,111 comparison with Washington we have in one a man who had* the advantages of a college education and tlie other with merely a rude country grammar school training,: .but Who by his own persistent, efforts, educated himself and rose from the log-cabln to the white tiouse;. The. name of the soldler, statesman

and. marfcyr will never die ; in. this great land, but will be .. handed . by generation to generation—down to posterity,” * \ ‘ ■ :

-But/v continued ■ : ^Ackerman, ‘James Russell Lowell, salt! the grace of-after, dinner speeches Js *. brevity/ But I wish to * say - a word • about min­isters. They are very good people and we like them because tliey are much like ourselves—-they are human.” /.'••

Dr.' Ackerman here? related a few amusing anecdotes about ministers, all of which space will riot permit us to quote. He; concluded w ith ' one. about a colored preacher named Can­non Dumbell, who was assisting at a baptismal service at the beach. He had just commenced a pralyer—"O; L»ord, Almighty God” (when a wave tossed him al)out eight feet and he ex­claimed), that! was a big wave, wasn’t It?—-so, a&J'isaid .before, they are very human-very much like, the rest of us.

President Woolston then announced that i i i the next speaker he had the pleasure of presenting* a man whd needed rio introduction—a man whom we have learned, to love— Rev. Dr. .Marshall. 1 . .

iDr. Marshall arose and after the ap­plause had subsided said; “I am glad to see before me the faces ;of so many honest men': it is like a revival. We all enjoyd Dr. Ackerman and. I syrin pathlze with him for the fact that cir­cumstances caused him to. partake of the banquet externally, as well as in­ternally. In Jersey City some years ago a waiter: permitted a tray to fall and I received the contents in my lap, so it seems that doctors sometimes get it as well as ministers. However, we don’t see any stains on ,Dr. Acker­man’s coat;-’ . • .

“Beca.use it is all inside,” responded Dr. Ackerman.

>Dr. Marshall stated that he felt that, he was unable to dO justice to himself or the occasion, because he had been in TVeehold as a witness during the day, and had lectured for nearly two hours in the church earlier In the evert­ing. He referred to the time of the Civil War, when he, a boy in England, saw the cotton men in Manchester begging for bread from door to door, and that he then resolved that some

. day he would come to America *md that he would be a Republicank Dr. Marshall spoke of the-recent messase to Congress, and said that the'time would come when. It would be consid­ered unsurpassed by any in the coun-

, try. *.•. <• •;In conclusion, Dr. Marshall told of

art incident that occurred in the Free­hold. court on tliat day. Three young men, high school graduates, had pleaded guilty to a charge of gambling and their lawyer made an able plea for leniency on the 'ground that they were never ill court before and had been led' into the vice and that it was the professional gambler, such as the

.race track:man, who was responsible ■ and should be seriously punished.| Judge Foster replied that he was | inclined to be very lenient, and had concluded as to the sentence, provided

i they give testimony to the effect that any man had received money to pro-

I tect the gambler.After a private consultation with

i his clients, the , attorney- .announced ! that .they were unable to give any I sucli testimony, and - Judge Foster ! sentenced them to pay'a fine of $1,000 j each, and serve a. year in the State's prison. *■■■■; :: _■ .•

That man did his duty, unpleasant although it was; and with such men determined to eliminate vice, the. Re­publican party must succeed in ac­complishing the end . for which it arises.

In conclusion, the beloved pastor tendered a glowing tribute to our great president.: He said there Is nothing being done for the welfare of the nation except what Is being done for tbe Republican party, and I re­joice that we have in our ranks such ;men..-'

Dr. Smith was announced as the last speaker, and he said he was glad

• he was at the tail eijd and that he felt, as the governor of Ohio said, “Like Lazarus when he was whipped: by adOff.” • ;.

Dr, Smith referred to Dr. Acker­man’s speech in a jovial manner, and concluded his own with an amusing story about a colored southern med­icine man.

•At the conclusion of Dr. Smith’s address, in. acordance with President Woolston’s suggestion, three rousing cheers wero given for the McKinley and Roosevelt Club and their guests^ and the jolly party adjourned until next year.

The topic for Dr. James William Marshall's sermon last 'Sunday morn­ing was a continuance of the Thanksgiving spirit and to call at­tention to the religious causes for thanksgiving.. 'The ilrst cause for thanksgiving,1 said Dr. Marshall,. ‘to promote thanksgiving is a meditation of the people upoii the Infinite blessings of Almighty God. .

"Tho second cause for thanksgiv­ing is thc absolute religious freedom which we enjoy. The only other country to which we would compare ourselves Is England. . There they have the established church, so that all the buildings or non-ebnformlng congregations are sailed chapels. Oiv that ground, therefore, loyalty and aristocracy creat a series of social cast v-hich ;<ustraclses those who dif­fer from ihls doctrine or method. Here, -absolute religious freedom, pre­vails for all classes.

"Another .siise for rollglous thanksgiving is the supreme place where tho sacrament of the com­munion is taken in our day. It Is the first and greatest service of each month,'and Is attended and appre­ciated ' by larger, numbers than any other service in the church.

“A still further cause, and especial­ly in Ocean Grove, Is tbe fellowship which great and good men enjoy one with another. ~fk

"Thc congregation receives the products'of tho host intellects, the ex­pressions of thc finest sensibilities, and .the love of purest Christian hearts.

It Is a great privilege to spend one's life In this -way of thinking and feeling.

“Another cause of gratitude is the anticipation of heavenly life."

After the sermon, the pastor, in ac­cordance »lth his custom of referring to those who had died during the pre­vious month, “poke most tenderly of Mrs. Perrine, who died at the Jack­son House and of Bishop and Mrs Stephen M. .Merrill, of Chicago, both of wham died there last month.

The text for Dr Marshall’s evening servico was “The Pall and- Restora­tion of St. Peter.” Marl; xlv, GG-72.
