Some or tn Mysterious Operations
OF Nature

"There Is some mysterious law at
work in this city," said a Newark po-
lice official yesterday, (which causes
unusual events to strata, so to speak.
Two weeks ago a man named White
fell out of his bedroom window and was
killed. When William +. Powell, the
former Assistant City Clerk, heard of
the accident he said he would have TO
be careful as his window sills were low.
That night he fell out of the window
and lost his life. Within three or fou-
DAYS there were three other fatal acCi-
dents Of the same kind, and then a
child tumbled out of window, and,
being caught in the air by woman,
was saved. That broke the run OF this
class of fatalities. l have heard a
scientific man say that the contagion of
occurrences, as he called it, is all due
to .he publication of the days dOings,
He says man reads of a shooting af-
fair, and, being little crazy, he goes
and shoots somebody himself. don't
believe in this theory, although some
times there does seem to be something
in it. Whatever the cause is, events
gets into ruts here.
It wasn't very long ago that a work
man in the zinc works Jumped OF the
wharf there and drowned himself. The
next day man not employed about the
place went to the same wharf and end
ed his life in the same way, and after
that every twenty-ffth man, it SEEM
ed, was jumping off wharves along the
Passaic river. Everybody knows what
train of troubles the banks got into
here for time. 1t was spell that
lasted long time. Last Monday night
William Warner got drunk and shot
his wife in the head, and last night
Gottleib Enghoffer filled himself with
beer and tried to blow out his wife's
brains. Besides this Charles Korr
slashes his wife with knife. Now
that we have switched on to that track
Newark wives had better be careful
Those who are in the country or at the
seashore should take warning and stay
there away from their husbands"

The six school-g rls who have been
spending their summer vacation In a
400 miles tramp through the mouu-
Eains of North Carolina have reacDtd
their homes in safety and are deiight-
ed with their experiences. They haa

taken matron with them for respeCItia'
bility's sake. They were hospltaply
received at farm-houses along Gaelr
rontes, encountered no snakes, either
with or without legs, and nave return
ed with ardent hopes of repeating the

In the plowing fields to-dayl
He watches the heads of his oxen
And never turns this way.
And the burrows grow longer and longer
Around the base Of the hill,
And the valley is bright with the sunset,
Yet he pl0ws and whistles still.

Where the oxen come and 60,
And Of thinking Of all the blossoms
That are trampled down below.
/ wonder If ever be guesees
That under the ragged brim
OF his torn straw hat am peeping
To steal look at him.
The spire Of the church and the windows,
Are all ablaze in the sun;
He has left the plow in the furrow,
His summer days work is done.
And hear him caroling softly
A sweet and simple lay,
That we have often sung together,
As he turns the oxen away.
The butteroups in the pasture
Twinkle and CLEAN like stars;
He has gathered golden handful
A leaning over the bars.
He has shaken the curls from his forehead,
And is looking up this way.
o, where is my sun-bonnet, motherl
He was thinking Of me all day.
And I'm going down to the meadow,
For know he is waiting there,
To wreathe the sunshine blossoms
In the curls of my yellow hair.
