his sensation: II had the sensation
of receiving q blow from q hammer
on the top Of my head. 1 did not
feel the rope, and the only defined sen.

was q sensation of weight in my head.
My head seemed heavier and bigger

The murdered man fell forward into

great bubbles and spirits Of gas shot

amid a cloud Of vapor there arose al
so an old white haired Indian, armed
with a ponderous club Of elk-horn.
Well the assassin knew who stood be-

that of ,Wankanaga, the father both of

Skipping the day after Leap years.

The above table shows the day O
the week on which the year begin.
from 1875 to 1917 included, anc
shows that six of them begin on Mon
day, and consequently the 4th Of
March will fall on Sunday in each Of
these but 1900, which is leap year
Two of these are inauguration years,
viz, 1877 and 1905. This resets the
slipped joint of Times. and restores
the common difference (twenty-eight
years. between Inauguration days
that occur on Sunday. Hereafter they
will be in fS11 1905, 1888, 1861,
1889, 20l7, and on every twenty-eight
years thereafter till the calendar is al.
tered or the Constitution changed.
If the table have given be extended
back to 1900 and forward to 5000. it
will furnish data for rules to solve q
great many interesting problems.
For example: 1t will show that in a
century the LIST of January will occur
ON the same day Of the week not less
than thirteen nor ! more than fifteen
times. January l, 1900, was Tuesday /;
1900 it will be Monday, 5000 it viii be
Sunday, etc. From this table may be
leduced the following rules:
Frst-Divide the number of hun.
dred years BY I, and from I subtract
the remainder and it will give the day
Of the week on which the century be-
gins. 49,, ea~es.e~
Example-ls divided~by 1leaves a

Rule I'd. Disregard the centuries
and to the remaining years add one
fourth for the leap years, also the day
On which the century began and the
day of the year corresponding to any
required date; divide by seven and
The remainder will indicate the day of
the week for the required date. If

ENFORCING THE LAws.--Nothing does SO
ment of the laws. As long as the evil dis
posed feel that there is doubt as to their
punishment, they are emboldened to defy the
law ; but when they know that arrest and
punishment will most certainly follow its
violation, the restraining effect is wonderful.
The enforcement of law, therefore, is of the
greatest importance, and 1t should not be left
solely to the officers whose special duty it is.
Every citizen should feel it his duty to aid in
every proper way. Very often officers of the
law feel that they are not sustained by the
people in the discharge Of their duty, and
when this is the ease, the law becomes mop
erative. There must be public opinion to
back up all legal measures for the suppress
sion of evil or else the law is a dead letter..
To aid in the enforcement of the laws,
Citizens Association was recently organized
in this city, and the object is to assist the
light and prosecuting those who defy the
laws, whether in the illegal sale of liquor il
legal voting, or otherwise. 1t is the intention
of this association to use every lawful effort
to have the laws, municipal and State, re-
spected, and no coed citizen, whatever his
politics or opinions, can justly complain of
the object of this organization. No surer
way of rendering lifeand property unsafe can
be devised than to wink at the acts of those
who for gain will knowingly defy the laws of
the state and the city in which they live.
The Association has employed Hon. ]. T..
Bird, of Pennington, and James Wilson,
Esq, of Trenton, to act as counsel in casees,
in conjunction with the City Solicitor, and it
ir their intention to prosecute all known
violators of tho law.

DELAWARE RIVER IMPRovEMENTs.-The
Monticello IN. W Waterman says: "Latter-
ly the lessened volume of water passing down
the Delaware, owing to the disappearance of
the forests along it's course, had rendered its
navigation by RATS each year more difficult,
while at the same time dangers resulting from
the ice gorges correspondngly increased. At
different times the Federal Government and
the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
have appropriated money to remove obstruc-
tions from the river, which sums have been
mainly expended below Port Jervis. This
State has hitherto done nothing, A bill is
now pending before Governor Tilden appro-
priating $15, 600 to be expended above Port
Jervis in removing rocks and other obstruc-
tions from the river channel for the double
purpose of lessening liability to Judgment and
gorging by the ice, and to improve it for raft
ing purposes. The provisions of the bill are
such as will secure the efficient and bona Jtide
application of the appropriation to the pur-
poses designated, and prevent the squandering
or diversion to dishonest purposes. PennsyE
vania has given assurance of a willingness to
aid in this work, and it win be to the interest
of our lumbermen and all owning property
along the river to see that this undertaking is
not prejudiced by selfishness or dishonesty. If
the aid propo4ed to be extended is not scrupu-
lousy applied to the purpose, no future effort
of relief will receive the cooperation of either
State, and ere long the Delaware will be utter
ly useless for rafting, and constantly increas-
source of danger to property along its banks"

NARROW ESCAPE OF VICE PRESIDENT WILL
SON AND SPEAKER BLAINE The express
train which left Boston at 8 p. M. on SatG.-
day, while running at rapid rate, was
thrown from the track near fremont Station,
about four miles above Harlem bridge. In
the parlor cars everything was thrown into
the greatest confusion. 1t was soon as err
tanned, however, that no person was seriously
injured, although good many passengers re-
ceived bruises and slight cuts. Vice Pre- sident
Wilson who WIS IN the soeond of the parlor
cars, escaped without injury whatever.
Speaker Blaine, who was in the first car, was
thrown violently forward and seat or sofa
falling upon him created severe confusion
on the right side, but no bones were broken
and only one slight cut was inflicted. Miss
Louise Carey, the opera singer, occupied a
seat near Mr.. Blaine. She escaped with q
slight bruise on her right shoulder. The &C
cident was caused by horse straying ON the
track.
