There was excellent weather. grateful

were frequent; the American flagship
Vaudalia and cruiser Mohican, and the
British cruisers Cormoranta and Hyacinth
were gorgeously dressed, the latter flying

Horrors of an ASYLUM.

A joint committee of the New JERSEY
Senate and Assembly, after two
weeks recess. yesterday continued its
investigation OF the management OF
the State Insane Asylum at Morris
town. Several witnesses swore that
tainted meat. rancid butter and stale
eggs had been used in the asylum.
while others testified that such things
had never como 10 their notice. 1t
was clearly demonstrated that the i'll
feeling existing between Warden Mon
roe aud his followers on the one hand
and the medical staff and their subordi-
mates on the other had frequently re-
suited in the neglect of patients.
Charles A. Fisher, a man-of-all-
at the asylum. testified that one of his
duties was to inspect shipments of meat
TO the institution. He never allowed
poor meat to enter the institution.
When questioned about some calves
that were said TO be bad he declared
that the meat merely looked bal be-
cause it had been bruised. The wit
ness denied all knowledge OF any bad
meat being buried on the farm. He
stated that before coming to the asy-
lum he had been member of the New
York Stock Exchange and that he had
also been in the Custom House.
Samuel Num-, an assistant butcher,
said ho had seen various kinds of bad
meat used at the asylum during the
past year. One lot OF veal was green
and sticky, and the forequarters

A PAIR OF DUCKS.
How They Were the Cause OF Live.
ly Quarrel In a Church.


A small country town in the south.
eastern part of this State. says the Bos-
ton Traveller. is at present enjoy ing us
lively church quarrel as often falls to
the lot of towns its size to have. and it
all has arisen over pair of ducks.
1t happened in this way: A clergy
man from large city in the State OF
New York went to this town TO take
charge of one of the local churches,
and. as later events proved. he was
not we'll versed in the ways OF the
country. After he had been in his new
location for about two months. one day
he was walking along tho street when
he saw two ducks walking down tho
street He liked the looks of these
birds very much indeed. and he
thought that they would make at least
one good meal for him. No sooner had
the thought struck him than he acted
upon IL. and taking duck under each
arm he started on his way home.
Arriving there ho chopped the birds
heads off and had them cooked for his
dinner. He eat and was happy. but
not many days later negro neighbor
put in an appearance and said the
ducks were his and wanted to know by
what right he had taken possession OF
them. The clergyman only pleaded
innocence and offered TO pay for the
birds he had eaten. The col ored own.
or said that they were trained decoy
ducks. and that he would accept $40
for the birds but bemoaned their loss.
The Clergyman. however. would or
could not appreciate the value of de-
coys. and declared he would only give
the negro $3.50. The negro finally nc
cepted this amount under protest The
story. however. soon spread through
out the village and caused no end oil
talk. Some of the minister's parish.
oners talked pretty loud, and one WON
an declared that il was q shame that n
clergyman should 90 through the
street and steal poor negro's ducks,
and declared that the minister was no
man IL he did not pay the man $40.
Those words came to the clerg s
ears. and great was his wrath thereat.
He declared that unless the woman
took back her words and came and
ap"log zed to him he would expel her
from The church. But her woman
temper was up and she reiterated her
statements concerning her spiritual
adviser. and declared that lie had ne
right TO eXpel her from the church.
Thus It went Oh until Easter SUNDAY
he declared Mt the morning service that
Mrs. - was expelled from all further
rights and privileges in the church.
Since this time some of the other
clergymen, have become interested in
the trouble, and are now endeavorirg
to heal the breach and quiet the dis
turbcd waters. How their efforts will
succeed remains 10 be seen
But it shows the tremendous power
