The Fines on Bicycle Riders.

,&.fter repeated efforts to bave the lawenforced, our Town Marshal has suc-ceeded in having fines imposed on fourriders. He was compelled to requesta justice who resides over a mile and ahalf from town ball to bear the casesand dispose of them. The justice wasGoverned entirely by tbe law, and didnot take bis law from a street poater.Being a rider himself, be bad no per-sonal prejudice against tbe defendants.

It is to be regretted that these youngmen should have been so unfortunate,as no one of them would bave intention-ally violated law, and each is popularand highly respected ; but they are thevictims of non-enforcement of the lawon previous occasions. Having beengiven to understand that we have nosidewalks in this town, and that "acoach and four" could be driven throughany bicycle ordinance (even thoughprepared by three well-known lawyers,as was ours), bicycle riders believedthat no ordinance would be enforced.Indeed, the parties arrested admittedthe charge, but stated to tbe justicethat the law bad nev.er been enforced.The justice replied that be had nothingto do with what bad been done, but beproposed to go according to law when-ever cases came before himk

The Marshal contends that as tbelaw prohibits riding on sidewalks, hewill try to prevent it. He has nothingto do' with the condition of the roads ;if be bad, he might be accused of die-criminating against riders. The ridermust prove tbe condition ot the roads athis hearing. It has been decided by acourt having jurisdiction that a ridercan uee a sidewalk to avoid an obstruc-tion, whether of mud or sand, but hemust return to the road as soon as theobstruction has been passed. Ho can-not, however, use Ibis decision as apretext lor riding on a sidewalk, as theroad must be In an "entirely impassa-ble1' condition to give him that privi-lege ; and should ho mako oath that theroad is impaseablo, ho may regret suchstatement should another party test bisstatement by using tho road.

It is sometimes asked, "If tho townwill not allow riders oa tho sidewalks,why dove it not repair (ho roads V"Tho question is certainly a vory peril-mint one ; but are tho puoplu ready tovote r.uuru money for that purpose ?Good roiule cuuuut bo bad for nothing.It is a niultur of tuxes uiid dollars.

I wish to request all who are opposedto the bicycle ordinance to suggestsomething better. Do not state thatriders might do this or that, for theywill not, and have brought the taw onthemselves.

REGENERATED CUBA.

\ Fertile Field tliat, with CtiUi-rntlon,\Vnuld Yield Many Fortunc».

"Cuba is the smile of .the sea," sayathe ever picturesque Ingirsoll. It Is ucountry of wonderful resources. Addto these Its geographical position, andWe have the factors of a glorious prod-act. It Is within easy reach of New Or-leans and other large markets of theUnited States. Transportation Is cheap.The United States and Cuba are recip-rocal In productions. We find there aready market for manufactured goods,and the island sends us sugar, bananasBDd other tropical productions.

Cuba Is the largest sugar producer Inthe world. The Constancla plantation

^near Cienfnegos produced, according totlio last Cuban census, 45,000,000pounds in a year. With American en-ergy and enterprise the Island could bemade to produce 50,000,000 tons easily.Tttere would be heavy competitionamong experts in the production ofsugar. These lands would be scientif-ically cultivated, and the cane reducedby the diffusion process. This is asteeping process. Ihe cane, finelychopped up, Is placed In large Iron cyl-inders and submitted to the same proc-ess as tea In the housewife's teapot.Thus there is not more than one-halfof 1 per cent, of saccharine lost.

Cuba will be n market for sugar-making machinery, agricultural ma-chinery, electric light appliances, rail-road supplies, wooden ware, etc. Infact, there will be a ready and con-stantly increasing market for all ourproductions, from clothes to catnip.

At present Cuba grows 30,000,000pounds f i t tobacco leaf, which opens upa field for American manufacture. The25,000,000 cocoanuta raised annuallyshow the need of active and energeticcapital In a cocoanut oil factory. The20,000,000 bunches of bananas nowgrown yearly can be more than doubledafter political differences have beensettled and the trade of America setsIn. Material Is abundant for the manu-facture of soap, coarsely flbered clothsand many kindred industries. Frui.tfarms on-an average make large re-turns after three years, except thebanana, which yields abundantly afterthe first year.

On the mountain slopes In the east-ern, central and western parts are thefinest coffee lands In the world. In1860 there were 800 plantations run-ning at a large profit. This kept up for/eight years, when the wearing tenyears' war ruined them. They wereeither devastated or allowed to decay.'All these will be revived In regenera-ted Cuba. It requires only small cap-ital to start a coffee plantation. A half-

op Is grown the third year, and thefourth year sees the full yield. It pays Ifronv^S to 100' per cent, on the capital \Invested, which Is much too fascinatinga problem to remain long unsolved byUncle Sam's enterprising family.

The mineral wealth of the Island INIncomputable and Inexhaustible". Thecopper mines are exceedingly rich, andadded capital and energy will developthem to a much greater degree. The |Iron mines are capable of producing |enormous quantities of BesBcmor Iron !ores. These ores arc very valuable andknown the world over to manufacturersas "Spanish ores." As time strides onthe smoke of factory chimneys will heno novel sight In the now panilyzedIsland. In a business an well IIH polit-ical dense, Cuba lias a wonderful fu-ture.

Evidence of Its richness IB given bythe fact that Cuba was self-supportingSfl early as 1827. Since that time It IIUHprospered nteadlly and exceedingly. Ithas paid Spain Bluet; 1827 from $1,000,-000 to $0,000,000 yearly. It Is n countrywonderfully prosperous, and IncrcaHwIn prosperity when let alone by I tHown and other peoples. It Inm grownBteadlly richer denpUc the fact that I tHper capita taxation la three times thatof the TJiilttd States. Now that Hpalnmust forevor keep hands off the littleisland, and American thrift will tie In-fused Into Its slow southern velnu, weehall see great thlngn from It.

TELEPHONING AT SEA.

How Couimnndero Communicate byWire from Ship to frhlp".

Telephones mny supersede the oldsystem of flag signals us n means ofcommunication between ships at sea.Successful experiments' have beenmade by Commander R. G. O. Tupperof the British navy which seem toprove that the system Is adapted forthe purpose. Commander Tupper useda kite in his experiments, and thisseems to be the only feasible means.The kite used was an ordinary one thatdiffered but slightly from those used byAmerican boys in the spring and fall,except, that It had no tall. The kite wassix feet long and three wide at itsbroadest part: Two lines were at-tached to the kite where the tall wouldordinarily have been. One of theselines was retained on board of the Dar-ing, the torpedo boat destroyer underCommander Tupper's command, fromwhic i the experiments were conducted.It was found that with the wind be-tween the two lines It was easy to dropletters or even a hawser on anothership, and In this way to establish con*tnunicatlon. When this experiment hadproved successful Commander Tuppermade use of a wire. The end of thewire which the kite bore away from theship was dropped upon the deck of H,M. S. Dauntless, where dt was securedby the electrician of the ship and at-tached to a telephone apparatus inWilting. The other eiid, which had re-

The Timber* of the Kenraareo.In the life of Whittler It Is told how

In the days of the civil war an oldQuaker from the New Hampshire hlllacaine down for an Interview with thegood poet. The Green Mountain disci-ple of Fox was the owner of a sturdylot of oali trees. The government hadsert Its eye upon them and wanted tobuy them.

The Quaker knew that the purpose of,the bargain must be to get the timberfor the new warships that w«re bulld-og. He hardly knew a sale for su'ch apurpose was consistent with the gospelof peace. *

Whlttier, either seeing that the man's-mind was pretty thoroughly made npto the bargain, or else considering thatthere was such a thing ofi pushing agood creed too far, would only say:

"Well, friend, If thee dost soil anytimber to the United States, be sure-that It 1« all sound."

TELEPHONING FROM SHIP TO SHIP.

Secured by the two lines, thekite remained suspended for four hours,during which time communication be-tween the two ships was uninterrupted.Commander Tupper has mnde a reportof ]f\K experiments with the kite tele-phone und declares tlmt It moans thatthe present method of signaling withlings will become obsolete. If telephonewires can be employed, he sees no rea-son why telegraphic communicationshould nol be made In n similar man-rier, and the whips of n lleot be placed incommunication with each oth :r.

When,painted with 1 per cent, alcoholic solu-tion of tannlc acid the characters be-came at once fairly discernible. Am-monium sulphide brought them outagain In full distinctness.

TEXT: "So th«y banged Human on thegallows tlmt ho had prepared for Morde-eal."—Esther vll., 10.

Hero Is un Orientlal courtier, about thomost '.offensive man. In Hebrew historyHuman by name. He plotted for tho de-struction of tho Isrnelltlsb. nation, and Iwonder not that In some of tho Hebrewsynagogues to this day when Human'sname Is mentioned, tuo congregationclench their fists and stump their feet andcry, "Lot his name bo blotted out!" Ha-man was Prime Minister In tho magnificentcourt of Persia. Thoroughly appreciativeof the honor conferred, he expects evory-body that ho passes to bo obsequious.Corning la one day at tho gate of tho pal-ooo, the servants drop their heads in honorof his oflle.o; but a Hebrew, named Horde-cal, gazes upon the passing dignitarywithout bending his head or taking off hisnot. Ho was a good man, and would nothavo boon negligent In the ordinary court-esies of life, but he felt no respect eitherfor Human or tho uutlon.. from which hohad como. So he could not be hypocriti-cal; and while others mode OrientalBalaam, getting clear down before thisPrime Minister when ho passed, Mordeeal,tho Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of hisneck, and kept Ills ohin clear up. Becauseof that affront Human gets a decree fromAhasuenis, the dastardly king, for themasaacro o( all tho Israelites, and that, ofcourse, will Include Mordeeal

To make a long story short, throughQueen Esther this whole plot was revealedto her husband, Ahasuerus. One, nightAhasuerus. w.ho was afflicted with in-

half aa laca before Hamaa. TTaes, there-fore, proud Human attempted to compelan homage which was not felt, ho only didwhat tho world ever since haa tried to do,whon It would force our holy religion Inany way to yield to Its dictates. Daniel,if ho had been a man of religious com-promises, would nover havo been" thrownInto the dea of lions. He might have madosome arrangement with King Dariuswhereby ho could have retained part of hisform of religion without malting himself socoaplocoly obnoxious to tho Idolaters,Faulmleht have retained tho favor of hisfuiers and escaped martyrdom If he hadonly boon willing to mix up his Ohrlatlatfaith with .1 few errors. His unbendingiChristlan character was taken as an In-;sulc.i Fagot and raok and halter in all ages[have b'eon only tho different ways In whichrtlio world has demanded obeisance. It wajlonco, away up on the top of tho Tomple, thaiMatan commanded the Holy One of Najza-[rotli to kneel before him. But It Is nolinow so much on the top of churches asMown In tho aisle and the pew and the pal-ipit that Satan tempts the egpousA-s of tha(Christian faith to kneel before him. Whyiwas It that the Platonic philosophers ollearly times, as well oa Toland, Spinoza andIBollngbroke of later daya, were so madlylOpposed to Christianity? Certainly not be-,oause It favored Immoralities, or arrestedcivilization, or dwarfed tho Intellect. Thegenuine reason, whether admitted or not,was because tho religion of Christ paid norespect to their Intnlleoljnal vanities.Blount and Boyle, nnd the hosts of Infidelshutched out by tho vile reign of Charles

tho point from which thoy started. 1'noroUro guns that kickli Furthermore, let the story of Hainanfoach us how qulokly turns tho wheel offortune. Ono day, excepting the king,Haman was tho mightiest man la Persia;but tho next day, a lackey. So we go up,ind so wo como down. You seldom findmy man twenty years In tho samo clrcum-itancea. Of those who, lu political llio:wenty years ago woro most prominent,how few remain In consplculty. Politicalparties make certain mon do their hardwork, and then, after using them as nacks,Iturn them out on tho commons to die.[Every four years there Is a complete revo-lution, and about five thousand :men whoought certainly to bo tho next Presidentare shamefully disappointed; while some,who this day nro obscuro and povertystricken, will rldo upon the shoulders oftho people, and take their turn at admira-tion and the spoils of office. Oh, howquickly tho wheels turn! Ballot-boxes urothe stops on whloh men come down quiteas often as they go up. Of those who werelong ago successful In tho accumulationof property, how few have not met with re-verses! while many of those who then werestraitened in circumstances now hold thebonds and bank keyset the nation. Of allfickle things In the world, fortune Is thomost fickle.

Again: this Hainan's history shows usthat outward possessions and circum-stances cannot make a man happy. Whlloyet fully vested in authority and tho chiefadviser of the Persian monarch, and every-thing that equipage and pomp and splen-dor of -residence could do were his, he Is

AN 0 WEST POINT.r

Qrltloh Vloltoi-Q Alwoyo Impreaoed b?Our Military School.

Whenover I tallt <wltli an averagoEnglishman who bus traveled InAznerlca, sooner or later It leaks outthat he has been Impressed mainlyby two sights — one Niagara Palls, thasther onr Military Academy at -WestPoint

We are so accustomed to West Pointis a national Institution that we aroupt to regard It as quite natural to us.But this Is by no means the cose. Itwas the remarkable foresight ofQeorge Washington that gave us thisInstitution, and It Is due to a mostfortunate combination of circum-stances following upon Us foundationthat we have to-day a training schoolCor officers free from political Influ-ence, and producing bettor results OTCTi given period of time than. any mili-tary school in the world, not even ex-cepting the schools^of Germany.

This train of thought was broughthome to me while convening with aneminent war official of the BrltlcSgovernment who knew America welland was deeply Interested In mllltarjeducation. From him I learned thata special commission had been sentaver to us for the purpose of makingi study of West Point, with a view tothe reorganization of the English mili-tary-college at Sandhurst. This col-lege was founded In 1799, and mustaot be confounded with the so-calledstaff college, where post graduate in-struction is' given.

England proposes to Improve Sand-hurst and pays as the delicate compli-ment of modeling upon our designs.It la not likely that she will whollysucceed, because young Englishmenof to-day are too accustomed to luxuryand would as soon go into a monas-tery as submit to the hard work andconfinement of the United States Mili-tary Academy.

The only practical means I can ue$for England In this matter Is that sheshould send annually, by special ar-rangement with our Secretary of War,half a dozen young men to West Point,who for four years thereafter shouldgo to Sandhurst as military instruct-ors. They would then hare learnedto appreciate all that -is good in thsWest Point system, and their knowl-edge of England would enable them tomodify it in a manner suitable to thoneeds of their oonntrymen. <>

In return for this International cour-tesy the United States might requestthat six graduates of West .Point an-nually bo allowed to attend the so-called "staff college" corresponding tothe German War College (Krlcgaoka-demle), where officers of special meritare sent to perfect themselveu in thahigher branches of their calling par-ticularly in military history and staflduties. 'This would be particularlyvaluable training for such of our offi-cers as contemplate becoming attach-ed to embassies in a military capacity.They would hero see groat armlcahandled as though in actual warfare,dn"d In case of necessity would be fit-ted to command large bodies of troops,A. young American ofllcer at the En-gllah staff college, for Instance, wouldbe tukon each year a round of battle-Holds, such as Waterloo or Metz, andwould have the situation explained 'tohim on the spot In a manner to make alantlng Impression. — Army and NavyJournal.

SATURDAY. JUNE 18, 1898.

There is very little definite war uowsthis week. The marines who landed onCuban soil, at Gnantanatno Bay, had awarm reception from Spanish guerillas,who attacked their camp from near bybrush, and were later re-inforced bySpanish regulars with two field-pieces.Our men hold their position against anoverwhelruniug force, aided by occa-sional shells from our gunboats, andlater advanced against the enemy'sposition, and carried it. They have beenQghting most of the time all this week,and were relieved when joined by 1500Cuban soldiers, on Wednesday.

The Cuban army has been doing somegood work on its own. account, captur-ing a much needed port near Santiago,where tbere are facilities for landingtroops and heavy guns.

Many thousand United States troops,with field and siege guns and suppliesof all kinds, are on the way to Cuba,expected to arrive to-day. In a veryfew days we may expect to hear thatSantiago and the Spanish fleet havebeen captured.

The first of the transports with rein-forcements and supplies tor AdmiralDowey will probably reach Manila to-morrow, with others not much later.

The Bureau of Statistics of Labor andIndustries at Trenton, of which WilliamStainsby is Chief, is in a position toaccomplish much good in the directionindicated by the bureau's name. NewJersey is essentially a manufacturingstate, ranking sixth in the order of im-portance in that respect- among thestates of the Union. Oar annual pro-duct now aggregates more than twohundred million dollars. The.bureauhas been instructed to procure andpublish, every year, statistics relativeto state industries. The Chief willwelcome statistics to this end.

B. RlcMorris, Special Pension Exam-iner, requests us to publish the follow-ing circular, which was sent out by theU. S. Ptmuion Commissioner:

Recent investigation had by thisBureau to ascertain the methods em-ployed by public officials in oxeoutiui?ijuntsion vuuclmra, has duraonslraled anuluiost total disregard of Urn laws uudregulations governing the subject.

It in clearly evidenced that the illegal,lax. indifferent, and poifunctorv pro-cedure now extant has become a menaceto the proper uud sale conduct ol' thebusiness of tbi» bureau, so far as itrelates to the payment ot pensions, andspecial efforts are contemplated to cor-rect the existing abuses.

YVhilu it is believed that many offi-cials who assist in the execution ofpension vouchers have DO conception ofi heir criminal l iabi l i ty in tin) premises.It, is equally certain that many others,lo Huciiru unudviiutuiiu m ibe numericalnumber of tlieir clientage, knowingly andwi l fu l ly rcsortto violutloim of tho law.

To the end that tho former class mayprollt by this notice, HUH circular isIssued.

Tliuru can bo no justification in thoprevalent hanto and laxily oxltitlui; inmany ofllcuR, by which pout dating,liilno certilleution, fatso claim, and'"Block" wiluensea have bucoinu u die torlu Uio administration, and acknowledg-ment ol |)oiiHlini vouchers.

an instance of the dangers ofbicycle riding on sidewalks,— not manydays ago a lady came down Grape St.,with her child in a coach. At the in-tersection of Central Avenue, a bicyclercame humming along the sidewalk justin time to collide with the baby coach.Fortunately, the mother bad a firmgrasp of the handle, and the child wasnot injured ; but the carriage was dam-aged. The road is good along there,and tbere was no excuse for startlingthe mother and risking the child's life.

SSy Town Marshal Roberts arrestedChalfcley Sooy, Dr. V7m. McK. North,Lewis Smith, Edw. and A. T.

Base-Ball Game.HAMMONTON VS. EGG HARBOB.

Yes, wo were defeated last SaturdayIn a good square game, but we aren'tsatisfied yet. It was tbe most excitingand best played game of the season.May it bo the precursor of many like it,with score reversed. To he sure, theEgg Harbors had a picked team, andNeavling, of Lafayette— Atlantic Cityfame, did not give our boys much showat tho bat after the first inning iu whichwe slapped out four hits for four runs.Treat weakened a little in the box,, butwe won't go back on him,- he did betterthan many an imported pitcher. Histhirty-six hours' lack of sleep and lackof time for practice from one week's endto another began to tell on'him. Ournine, taken as a whole, is about thebest Hammonton has had for sometime, bpecial mention should be madeofSetley and Giflbrd.

The first inning raised-our hopes veryhinu. We thought wo had a sure thing.Hits flew to the right and to tbe leftwhile it seemed as if all that our boyshad to do was to keep on running toscore. But "there's mony a shlip."A few drives in the third combined tobring in three for the "city" gentlemen.Sears' home run in the fiflb, over Tell'ahead added two. Soth's triple in theeighth brought in the winning run forthe visitors, since our boys were able tomake only one run in that inning.

HAMAfl'S FURROW.

"I think It Is smoke.""And I think you are wrong."The first speaker was a young woman

with a sweet face, expressive ot mucnsilent resolution and great self-control.The second speaker was nn old man,trhose faded brown eyes had a startledlook as if suspecting that people wereabout to bring him trouble, or else as-serting that they had already broughtIt.

The old man was known among theranchmen as .old John Blasland. He•owned a great ranch. The young wom-an was called Hannah. "I don't knowwhat her t'other name Is," the old manTvould have, told a questioner. "Sheeamo from the East somewhere, want-ed to hel" my housekeeper, Mrs. Tut!;-erly, and I didn't care. That's nil Iknow about it. I don't care what hername is. l a m a little 'spishus of whatshe wants; they all want something."

It was the mystery enwrapping Han-nah like an atmosphere, and it was theold man's suspicions of her 'motivesand purposes, that made her presencean annoyance to him In spite of anywords to the contrary. When he nowSad told her that any sign of smokeabout the prairie region was a mistakeahb simpiy replied: "If Young Johnwere here, he could tell us."

Tho faded brown eyes began to flash.The husky voice trembled with petu-lance.

"Voiing John," he snarled; "I guessIf Old John don't know, you won't picknp any -Information from that youngnan."

It might have seemed as If he wereangry wi th "Young John"—no, withthe young woman who mentioned hisname.

"I know, I know!" he silently said,aa he turned away. "She carea morefor Young John than Old John. Tooranch going on between those youngpeople. Next thing there will be n mar-riage. I don't want bur mcddlin' withthat young man."

This other young person, like Han-nah, came from the lOast, had provedrery acceptable to the old ranchman,and wn.i n groat favorite wi th him.The ranoliiiKMi In the neighborhood, todistinguish tho two, called one OldJohn and the other Young John. Peo-ple sometimes thought they were fath-er and son. No; there waa a son at tireEn«t who hud offended hln father, andhad been forbidden to coma or even to•write to him. The old man wonderedsoiiiotlmes whether ho did not tracefamiliar features In thlu young adven-turer from the ICaHt. Any fancied re-semblance WIIH not pleamint to the oldranchman. Me drove It from II|Hthoughts UH ho would drive, a cloud ofnioHii i i l t i i i 'M from hln lioiiHe.

And H a n n a h , ul io H t l l l lingered backof tho barn, watching tha t H ky H t a l uon the blue of the Hky. It vvn.s .Sundaymorning.

"My John!" "".ai wua tlio auniu

also of the'offending son In the Enst.The father never knowingly mentionedthla form of name, "My John." Lift ingthe harness again, he now arrayed JlraIn it

"What do I smell?" he asked.Young John would hnve told him

"Smoke," but he was 'not willing tosmell anything of the kind.

In the meantime, Hannah had givenoccasional glances n t the suspiciousnorthern sky. Prom a window uliuchanced to look toward the east. la

alarm, astonishment, terror, sTiedropped a bonnet whose green trim-mings would have set off hor fa i r faceeven as an apple-tree's emerald foliagesets off its pinkish white blossoms.

"Oh—Oh—Oh! I did not look thatway at all, and hero It Is right upon us!The wind must have shifted," she ex-claimed.

Over at the right was a large tower-ing cloud of a dun-brown color, withragged, nimy edge, compact in the cen-ter, and of a (temper hue there, as If Itsheart were a scowl and a menace, sig-naling that Its mission was ruin.

"Sir. sir-r-r!" she stammered, as shemet Old John. "The (Ire will soon bou$on us! Young John Is not here. Helpmo harness J im In to the plough."

"W-w-what?" ho stammered la rvply,so dazed that he was like one palsy-stricken.

Hannah flew out of the house. :imlquickly unharnessed .llm. attached himto the plough. Fat Mrs. Tutliorly wasbetter In an emergency than otio wouldhave supposed. She now came upbravely, like an old-fashioned Uutcucruller at a cr i t ical moment In thebattlQ-hotir.

"You drive tho horse. Mrs. Tutherly,and.I ' l l hold thi> 'plou.sh. and we willma!:;- a furrow ill! about the buildings,ph. if Mr. Blasland would Just helpand burn the grass on the prairie sideof the furrow!"

Hannah was more deferential in herstyle of address than was the houser.keeper. Tlie latter was plain and per-emptory: "Hero, hero. Old John! Comeand help!" she screamed, In the samebreath giving the order, "Git up therelively, Jim! Up with you, git-t-t!"

She resumed her command to theranchman! "Burn the grass all outsidethe furrer! Quick, sir, quick! We willall be burnt to a cinder If you don't flyround! Git up there, Jim! faster, oil'boy!"

After this last equivocal order, Hiefat housekeeper, rosy and puffing, skill-fully steered Jim down the east side o-fthe farm-house. Hannah guided theplough, the muscles swelling In horfirm, shapely hands, and along herbared, brown wrists. Hor eyes glanceddownward to soe that the ploUK^isliarewas running right, and thpn they werelifted to the heavens. Those dr*op oyesof blue were filled with prayer's rever-ent supplication.

"God help .us, Gold help us!" she mur-mured. Behind tho plough tottered theold ranchman, 'k indl ing the grass out-side th« furrow, and leaving a rapidlywidening space of black, nre-ravngedground between tlio ranch building nndthe awful conflagration driving ovorthe prairie.

"Now the north .side!" Kald Hannah."TIio east Hide IH of the most conse-quence. Heady!"'

"(Jit up-up up, J im! Come on, OldJohn!" serenim-d Mrs. Tutherly. Thesmoko W U H ' I I U W all about thorn, butHannah would Hay, "tho east aide IHsafe.1 Thank God!" and prens atnb-bornly on.

THE "PROUD" SPANIARD.

A Former Copta:n ficnernl of Cubathat Wna Not OTCf-Serupulono.

As the question of Spanish goodfaith Is prominent In the press theselays, this pertinent anecdote of theflvll war will he timely. It la told InBullock's Secret Service of the Confed-erate States. Capt. Bullock tells of thoexciting Incidents concerning the free-ing of the rebel ram Stonewall fromthe international complications attend-int on her release from the Frenchshipyard where she was built; how shewas watched by the agents of the Fod->rnl Government; how she was fol-lowed to Denmark, whither she-wenttinder the Danish flag; how she wasigaln followed to Ferrol, Spain, by thetJiilti'd States ships Niagara and Sacra-mento; how she eluded them there andsailed for the coast of the United Statestrlth the evident intent of attacking theFederal ships, for any one of whichshe was more than a match, beingchen tho most . formidable Ironcladifloat.

But when the Stonewall, under the:ommand of Capt. Pago, reached Ha-vana In May, 1805, Page loarnifd of thesurrender of Gen.- Leo, nnd soon afterof the capture of Jefferson Davis.Page's funds were exhausted. TheConfederacy had collapsed. The posi-tion was perplexing. Capt. Page open-ed negotiations with the Spanish au-thorities at Havana for the surrenderof the ship to them If they would ad-vance the money to pay off the crew.Capt. Page sent Lieut. Carter to thecaptain general to make the- arrange-ments. Carter reported that aftor fiveminutes' conversation the captain gen-3ral nskod him what sum was required.Jarter replied, $10,000. The captainonoral said: "You had better make It

$100,000." Carter replied that his or-ders were to ask 510,000. Tho. captainc;onoral then turned to an official andbade him write a document, aud then,turning again to Carter, said: "Shallwe not make It $30,000?" But CarterDbeyed orders and accepted only $10,-300.

It Is quite evident that this high of-flclal, the captain general of Cuba, wasattempting to get the Confederate-naval officer to ask for ?100,000 to payiff his crew, when ho noedod only JK5.-DOO, tho dlffi«r«>r-o to bo divided be-tween them. When thoConfedera,te of-ficer absolutely refUMod to accept either$100,000 or $.V),(X)(), but only tho exactsum needed, It Is evident that the cap-tain general concluded that tho Ameri-can wan a fool, and charged up $11)0,-.100 to tho Spanish Government andput 584,000 in hlH pocket. Thin throwsa strong light on Spanish uunnclnllionor.

Three Women Believed of FemaleTroubles by Mrs. Pinkham.

From Mrs. A. W. SSIITU, 59 SummerSt., liiddeford, Me.:' " For several years I suffered withvarious fliKeases peculiar to my sex.Was troubled with a burning sensationacross the small of my back, that all-gone feeling-, was despondent, fretfuland discouraged; the least exertiontired me. I tried several doctors butreceived little benefit. At last I de-cided to give your Lydia E. Pinliham'sVegetable Compound a trial. The ef-fect of the first bottle was magical.Those symptoms of weakness that Iwas afflicted with, vanished like vaporbefore the sun. I cannot speak toohighly of your valuable remedy. It istruly a boon to woman."

Prom Mrs. MELISSA PHILLIPS, Lex-ington, Ind., to Mrs. Pinkham:

"Before 1 began takingyour medicineI had suffered for two years with thattired feeling, headache, backache, noap-petite, and a run-down condition of thesystem. I could not walk across theroom. 1 have taken four bottles of theVegetable Compound, one box of LiverPills and used one package of SanativeWash, and now feel like a new woman,and am able to do my work."

From Mrs. MOLLIE E. HERKEI., Pow-ell Station, Tenn.:

"For three years I suffered with such aweakness of the back, 1 could notperform my household duties. J alsohad falling of the womb, terrible bear-ing-down pains and headache. '1 havetaken tyvo bottles of'Lydia E. Pink-bang's Vegetable Compound and feellike a. new woman. I recommend yourmedicine to every woman I know."

tbGrove of a Chief Who BlcncdTreaty of William Penn.

A short time ago near Sunbury, Pa.,the remains of one of the Indian chiefs,who participated In the signing of thetreaty, through which William Penncame into possession of Pennsylvania,were unearthed. The remains are thoseof Chief Shlkclllmy, grand sachem ofthe Lenni-Leuapt's nnd the deputy pov-crnor 'appointed by tho Iroquols upontheir conquest of tho Susquehanna In-dians. He lived In the Indian villageof Shomoko, on the present site of Sun-bury and Northumberland, and wontthence to sign the treaty under the elmtree.

Chief Shlkelllrny was n good Indlnn,a true representative of everything tliutwas grand In the Indian character; who

, never proved untrue to his word, be-trayed a white naau nor condoned ncrime. On account of his ability togovern and his nobleness of character,bo wan selected by the chief of tho SixNations to rule the Indians along thoOt-zln-nch-Bon, us the beautiful Pus-quchanna River was called. When theIroquola, the so-called Six Nations,made wnr upon tho original ownerfl ofthe Buaquehanmi Valley, the Lonnl-tenapes, they miocoedod In .subduingthem after n bitter struggle nnd pout ndeputy governor, Chief Shlkollluiy, torule over them.

Under his lendorshlp the Lonnl-LcnapcH never tried to throw off theburden of their conquerorH.

Up to this tlrno very li t t le Is known ofthe chief. lie wim an Onolda Indianand waa born In Canada or lu thenorthern part of Now York State, nearthe border, Aftor he nettled In Hho-(notto the Moravian mliiiiloimrlcii foundhtm there nnd converted him.

The Pipe Face KcsultB^from Lonir Con-tinuance of Piiie-SmokitiK Hubit.

' The bicycle face Is old. The bargain-counter face, the quick-lunch face andthe war-bulletin face are more recent.

The newest discov-ery',!n this line isthe pipe face, wh'lc-hIs grown by menwho smoke pipes.The staid old Medi-cal Record saw Itfirst and said thisof It:

"Tbe habK ofr&u PIPK FACK. smoking the pipe

has a perceptible effect upon the face.The pressure of the lips to hold thepipe In position Increases the curvatureof the lips round the stwu, and the mus-cles become more rigid here than inother parts. Thus the lips at a certainpoint become stronger and the pipe Isunconsciously held in the same habit-ual position. After long continuationof the habit small circular wrinklesform parallel with the curvature of thelips around the stem. These are crossedby finer lines caused by Che pressureof the lips to retain the pipe In position.In the case of old men who havesmoked a pipe for years the effect upontne lips Is verv marked."

Vagaries of Learning.A certain school teacher, whose sense

of humor Is.developed to a remarkabledegree, goes to the trouble occasionallyof writing down for her own use someof the funniest answers which she findsin her examination papers. By espe-cial favor I have been allowed to use afew. Here they are:

"The stomach Is the most diluted por-tion of the elementary canal."

"Hygiene la all that you can tell aboutthat which IB asked."

"The doctrine of evolution beganwith the beginning of life, and grewhigher and higher, until It regeneratedInto monkey. This process was slow,so slow that neither the monkey northe man knew anything about it."

"A germ is a name applied to a par-ticular particle, tiny subbacterial or-ganism, which, when demonstrated,causes disease."

"A germ Is a tiny insect or .bug some-times found In diseases or organs, thatIs why diseases nre contagious. It is sosmall that it can be Been only with atelescope. Then It appears like thehead of a pin, but It goe, floatingaround Into tho atmosphere."

"Habeas corpus means you may havethe head, nnd I will take the body."

"Queen Elizabeth's rtlgn was thereign of posterity."

"Tho gcfin theory of diseases Is con-tinually lloatlug around lu the air, andis very dangerous, especially when thoatmosphere is unwholesome."

"William Pitt, the second son of theKarl of Chatham, premier of England,entered life at a very early age, whicholllce he hold at n very early period Inlife, tho time when most men are JustCompleting a professional education."

"A dowager Is n widow withoutJoints."—Syracuse Post.

' A Itomarlcablo C»ac.The following- C«HO was [iriutod originally

In The .Monitor, it. newspaper pubilKbod atMouford, Ontario. Doubts wure raised asto Its truthfulness, cons-quently a C!OHBwatoh was kept on tho cftso for two yearsand tho original statement hag nowboen ,completely verified.

• Mr. PctoH had been n hopeless paralyticfor live years. Hlfl caso has had wide at-tention. He was confined to hih tied, wasbloated almost boyoud recognition, andcould not take solid food.

The Canadian Mutual LifeAssociation after a thorough examination,pnld him his total dimiblllty claim, of$1,650, regarding him as forever.lncurable.

For three years he lingered In this con-dition. Aftertaking someof Dr. Will-lams' P i n kPills for PalePeople therewoe a slightc h a n g e , atendency tosweat freely.Next came alittle feelingIn his limbs.This extend-ed, followed

Pa* Hi, Claim.until at last the blood began to coursefreely and vigorously through his body.Soon he was restored to his old time health.

A reporter for The Monitor recentlycalled on Mr. Pet"h again and was told:

"You may say there is DO doubt as to mycure being permanent. I am In betterhealth than ivhfan J gave you the first In-terview and certtliiiy attribute my fiure toDr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

"To these pills I owe my release from theliving death, and I shall always bless theday I was Induced to take them."

Such Is the history of oue of the most re-markuble eases in modern times. In theface of such testimony, con anyone saythat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not en-titled to the careful consideration of everysufferer — man, woman or child? Is not thecase,! In truth, a miracle of modern medi-cine?

These pills are Bold by all druggists andare considered by them to be one of themost valuable remedial agents known toscience.

ITp with the Etnpernp.I heard the other morning In a rall-

tvay carriage an amiming story withregard to English and German Jacli-tars that was new to me. It was toldof the members of the crews of twoships engaged in Hie hlocknde ofCrete. These, tars were engaged In afestal gathering ashore, and one of theGermans proposed the health of bisomniscient emperor, which was dulydrunk In rum by the assembled partyof both nationalities. Presently theEnglish boatswain suggested that theaame of her most gracious majestyshould be toasted with similar honors,but the tars of the fatherland receivedthe proposal with a" chilling silence."Ain't you a-goln' to drink the queen'shealth?" came the English inquiry."Neln, neln," was the. Germanic re-sponse. "Now, then, boys," exclaim-ed the boatswain; "I don't want no un-pleasantness, bat we can't have this,you know; 'taint fair. Take yer timefrom me; two fingers down yerthroats and up comes the bloomln' em-peror."—London Sketch.

AMD ORDER.Written by 0. K. FOWI.KB— In eevernl

parts. Part 11,-ORDER.

It has beea said that "Order is Heav-en's first law," and it might be saidorder is Hcaven'o only law, for if everyone in Heaven was orderly, they wouldneed no law.

We will define "Order" as a system-atic arrangement of things to accom-ilieh a definite object.

If we wish to build a world, we mustdo it in a certain order. We must firstlave a mineral kingdom, before we canmve a vegetable kingdom ; and we mustlave a vegetable kingdom before wo

can have an animal kingdom ; and wemost have all these before we can havea human kingdom.

In order to travel from one place toanother, we must bave public roads ;and in order to prevent accidents, per-sons using public places most observecertain rules of action. For instance,>nrn to the right when meeting, and tohe left when passing. (In Canada they,urn to the left.) Bat it does not neces.sarily follow that anyone has the rightto run over someone who does not obeythe rule.

If everyone bad a desire to do right,,nd knew what was right, there would>e no need of making laws. But, nn-brtnnately for those who wish to do

right, there is a class of people whowant to get all they can for as little aspossible, without regard to the rights otothers. If they ride bicycles, they aresometimes called "bicycle hogs," butthey have not all learned to ride yet.Some of them are devoting themselvesalmost exclusively to politics, and wedon't hear much about them except bo-ore or after election. Some of them try

to corner wheat, and live off the' toilol other people. Some of them allowtheir hedges to grow out on the side-walk two to five feet, when , the walk isalready too narrow, . I suppose 'twould

be proper to call them hedgehogs.

It seems to me there are a good manypersons who do not understand eitherthe nature or object of law and order,and no I have mode a study of both fora number of years, I take the liberty,through tho kindness of the Editor, ofexpressing my opinions for the benefitof my friends. There is no law that Iknow of, compelling any one to readthem who does not wish to.

I do oot pretend to bo perfect, and donot wish to bo personal, but tho acts otpersona (not tho persona themselves)who stand In public places or hold pub-lic oQluoa, aio open to criticism, and Ithink it IB proper that they should bo.I do not wlah to criticise Mr. Preusoy,Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Roberts, or any otherparson, but I thinU uvvryono has a rightto criticise and make euugcstlonii for thobenefit of thoeo holding public ofllcca,not as persons, but aa olllcoro. ForInstance, when an oflleor of tho law,without any uniform or vlslblu Imdgo,grabs a bicycle rider and pulls him ofhis wheel and Injures either thu rider orwheel, ho ovoretcpH bin ttuthority ; tun:If tho rider doesn't olthor urrtial him orthrush him on thu eiiot, it la quite anexhibition of charity. Tho people huvurighto, aa well as olllcors of tho law.

Thera are aomo towno that hold outInducement!! to purnoiia who wluh tobecome clllzons, eopcolally to those whowlah to invent meana In UUUIB, ftictoriua,or honico. Homo towns even get a leverin that direction, und donate, land orexempt from taxation. I think Hum-monton liail that lover odnio limebut It looka now aa though tho fuverhud j;ouo nnd u chill wua creeping overthu town. If u liunlly who hud uccuinulutcd u little ineuiut, and cumo herofor their lioulth, and wlahod to take udully bicycle rldu lor their health, wuutold that thoru vrore not tun ininutealit Iho twenty-lour homo when theyworo allowed to rldo on tlielr ownolduwulU, what Inducement would It IKto remain bere, or to nettlo down un<boy properly V Would It ho any moreol an Indticoinunt to tell them that ourtown olllolulo, with "tlie aid of threewell known lawyers," could not, framean ordinance with which Iho olllccru ot

;he law could punish bicycle bogs with-out persecuting the innocent rider ? Iam glad there is one Councilman who isrank enough to ask advice. I meanJacobs,—in his lost article.

I think every reasonable person willadmit that a pedestrian has first righton the sidewalk, and I would suggestthat the ordinance makers define thepedestrian rights as extending fifty feetn either direction, and ordain that any

rider within fifty feet of a pedestrianmust be dismounted; that they mostnot ride on the sidewalk after dark'darkness in this latitude is supposed to>egin one hour after suuset); and thatthey shall not at any time ring a bell orsound any alarm unless they are dumband can't talk.

If we had no bicycle ordinance what-ever, there are laws enough to punishpersons who either injure or scare pe-destrians while using the sidewalk. Aperson has no more right to run into

another while on foot than he has whileriding. la fact, every person using thepublic highway is liable for any damage

done by himself or by any beast that helas with him, dogs not excepted, andaw makers recognized the fact long be-'ore bicycles were invented.

In order to induce outsiders to locaten Hammonton, and to invest moneylore, it may be necessary to use consid-

erable judgment in framing ordinances,and to mix a little charity with theirexecution. E have several times seenadies wading through the dusty street,

and no pedestrian in night in eitherdirection, afraid that the Marshal wastiding behind some hedge, ready toarrest them; and when they do dare toride on the sidewalk they pass the wordTorn one to another,—"Where is theMarshal?" A nice elate of affairs ina town that pretends to be Christian.

Our Marshal, when he leaves hisbadge home, is one of the most gallantand accommodating fellows la town,nnd I have no doubt would be glad tostep aside and give up tho sidewalk toany lady who is out for a pleasure ride ;but when ho puts his badge on ho be-comes an ogre that drives the ladles tothe dusty road in fear and trembling.I don't see bow he can afford to catsuch a figure, even for the munificentsalary of fifty dollars a year, even tbo'he only works twelve to fifteen hoursper day.

I heard that ono family here, alterbeing robbed several Hums, had tomove. I would like to aek n bother theMarshal has any Instructions what todo In a case of that kind. And I wouldlike to request tbo Editor, in caso hohoars of any ono being punished by thotown authorities for wrong doing, toplease publish the particulars, unlesstho details aro being snpprctKod for aspecial purpose.

Mr. Jacobs says, in his article, thatany one who considers himsoll imposedupon by tho law can compel others toconform to it, etc. Buch an argumentus that lakes my brualh away, andhave to wait for my necond wind. Justthink of U I If you are Imposed uponby an unjust law, you can take tho lawand Impose upon every one olae. Whala ChrlBtlan spirit that IB I 1 think thatolthor hie typo-writer or the printer baamado Mr. Jacobs say things withoutdue consideration, and when ha corneato read It over ho will inuko noverachanges. I know Jacobs has lota owriting to do, and may not have timeto correct all of thorn before reachingtho printer.

In my next I nhall endeavor to glvmy Idea of tho object of all law omorder.
