CRUEL Joke ON a YOUNG FARMER.


A young farmer of Cintondnle, Ulster
county, became deeply ennmored of a young
lady, a stranger in the neighborhood, who
was temporarily stopping in the village,
and, after courting her assiduousy for
some days, popped the all-importnt ques-
ton, received Eyes for an answer, and in
sisted ON the marriage ceremony being per-
formed the following evening, According
ly, a large number of friends were invited,
and the couple were made one by a Justice
of the Peace of the neighborhood Imine-
diately upon the conclusion of the cere-
mony the bride was surrounded by her gem
tlemen friends, all of whom insisted upon
kissing her, greatly to the displeasure Of the
jealous groom, whereupon she made her
escape to an adjoining room, and the bride
groom has not seen her since, or at least
has not been able to recognize her The
truth of the matter is that the bride was a
pretty boy and when he left the room he
changed his garments and mingled with the
crowd and enjoyed the fun. Ihe groom
will never get over the rather practical joke
which his friends played upon him, = EIm6a

Somebody's lips were close 10 mine;
Thus tempted, couldn't resist.
Rogulsh and rosy, a sweet little mouth
Was suddenly, softly kissed.
Somebody's eyes looked up and frowned
with such n reprovlng glance.

Then the eyes began to dance
And, smiling, the little maiden answered,
As knelt there at her feet.

Or they never would be SO sweet"

neath of Calah r. Auar

News was received in this city yesterday OF
the death of Hon Caleb r. Aver, which oe
Cured at his residence in Cornish at 2.S0 a. m.
He had been in failing health for some time,
but the immediate cause of bis death was .
severe cold contracted few days ago which
resulted in a neuralgia affection of the heart
Mr.. Aver was born in Newfield, Me-, in 1918
He was graduated from Dartmouth College,
and Immediately commenced reading law al
Newtield, in the Office of his brother.in-law,
the late Jastice Nathan Clifford, who married
Hannah, Mr.. Ayers younger sister.
Upon the complexion of his studies he enter
ed into partnership with Mr.. Clifford, bot
after few years the partnership was dissolved
and Mr.. Aver removed to Cornish, whore h.
vas since resided. He was a man OF tiue
presence, commanding talent very eloquent
and graceful speaker, possessing those highe
attributes which go to make popular orator,
and he was for years considered the leading
jury lawyer of the York county bar. For the
past five years, however, he has withdrawn
himself almost wholly from business, being on
his farm about two miles from Cornish village.
Mr.. Aver was, probably, the most intimate
friend of the late Mr.. Justice Clifford during
the latter's whole life. He was very much
affected by the death of the Judge, and it is
thought that that event fastened his death, as
since then his health has steadily failed
Mr.. Aver has always been firm Democrat,
and has many times been honored by the citi-
zens of Cornish. He was elected to the State
Senate in 1848, and was chosen president Of
that body. In 1856 he was chosen Secretary
of State. He also served several terms as
county attorney of York, and has been the at
torney for the town of Cornish for many years,
besides filling other town offices. AL these
positions he filed with much ability.
The deceased leaves a wife and three chill
dreD, one of the daughters being the wife oil

service will take place tomorrow afternoon at

NATIONAL BANK PROBLEMS
Plans for Securing Permanency for
the Banks Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Several propositions
are understood to have been made to the Treas
ury Department to secure permanency to the Ia
tional banks. Oae is that the banks be allow
ed to deposit other securities than Government
bonds to secure their circulation. Another
proposition is that a long bond at il or per
cent interest be issued to be used as a banking
bond for the benefit of the national banks.
Still another proposition named is that a long
bond at low rate of interest be issued and the
Is and Al be taken up at maturity, unless the
holders consent that they shall be exchanged
sooner. Secretary Foger is reported as having
TODAY said that he had not decided upon re-
commencing either of these propositions in his
annual report. He does not regard favorably
the proposition to allow national banks to de-
posit State securities to secure circulation.
When State bonds are good enough TO be tax
en- as securities they are about as high in price
as Government As and lis Que objection to
this proposition was that there were not
enough good State bonds to supply the collat-
teral security necessary for the great and in
creasing number of national banks The sec
retary said also, that he did not think the long
low rate Oond in itself TO be the best remedy to
be adopted. He said of all the suggestions
made, he was in favor of issuing low rate
long bond with which to take up the 4s and
1-2s, accomplishing the exchange BY pay
DenL of sufficient premium to make the ex
AS to the exact rate of interest this bond
should bear he has not yet made up his mind.
He thinks that Congress will doubtless see the
necessity of doing something this winter to se-
cure the permdnency of the national banks.
He said today that he knew the national bank
ing system had enemies, but he thought its
friends were in a large majority.

The KsquOr issue in 0hio-A Largo Pr0hi-
bision Vote Expccsed---saleon Men
Organizing.

CINCINNATI, Oct 5.--The Rev. DR.. Walden,
of the Methodist Book Concern is as active
and we'll informed Prohibitionist as the State
contains. When asked to-day whether the
impression which he has obtained in some
parts OF the State that the prohibition amend
ment would carry, was correct, he replied that
he feared it was not. He had been over the
Sta Q and gathered material for pretty care
full estimate OF the probable vote for the pro-
hibition amendment, and he placed it at 300,-
600. The total vote this year, 1t is generally
believed, will be 100000. The prohibition
amendment is therefore likely to lack $4,000
votes of adoption. DIR. Walden said that in
well organized, and are making an effective
canvass for the amendment In several i'm
portant sections, however, the organization has
prsved imperfect and inefficient, and the tenn
persnce cause will suffer thereby. When
asked whether he felt discouraged at the prob
able defeat of the amendment, DIR. Walden
replied that he did not, but, ON the contrary,
was greatly encouraged to find the temperance
sentiment had advanced so much among the
people that a prohibition amendment to the
constitution was assured. He thought the
moral effect of SO heavy vote for prohibition
would have most excellent effect, aud the
liquor dealers would in consequence be more
modest in their demands and more thoughtful
of the feelings of the temperance people for
years to come.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 5.-Three hund red liquor
dealers held a meeting here tonight to discuss
the second amendment question. Villa 10
Backus, president of the State Liquor Dealers
Association, presided. He said the present
movement for prohibition was inspired by the
Republican party. He asked all liquor sellers
to work at the polls on election day for the
Democratic ticket and for them to be careful
not to insult any of the temperance women at
the polls
