Citizen SChiehel escaped the conspiracy

Moulton? Moulton? Oh, yes; he had
almost slipped our mind. He's the one
who wanted the boycotters shot. Now
he's preaching tariff reform to the horny
handed sons of toll. Time makes great
changes.

A pitiful spectacle was presented at
Baltimore police station Tuesday
morning when a petrolmen led in a
beautiful girl, apparently not more than
Is years old, and so scantly clad that she
had been found nearly frozen to death,
huddled in an unused ash cart in an alley.
From the wild stare in her black eyes
and her strange actions it was evident
that she was insane. Her black hair
hung down her back and the drizzling
rain on it had matted it and frozen. Her
scant calico dress was covered with sleet
and her feet were almost bare. No one
knew her. She did not appear to be
vagrant, but was likely a stranger here.
At times there was a CLEAN of intelli-
gence in her beautiful face and then she
would talk to those about her. Once
she said her name was Maggie and that
her husband was an army officer who
had pension of $1,000 year 1t is not
believed that she is married woman,
The police are trying to find her friends.
She appears to be refined. During her
insane wanderings sh e frequently ex-
ooh, my brain, my brain" and |
putting her hand to her head seemed try
ing to force her mind TO respond to the |
questions asked as to her identity.

wendell their way to the parsonage, hop

lady met the visitors at the door and
babe them hearty welcome. The
roomy parlors were soon filled to over

most of the few hours of social enter

much to the enjoyment of the evening
by reciting with good effect Songs in

Misses Wilson, Deputy and Blest pre-
sided at the piano. Several hymns were
sung in pleasing manner About 1890
the company were invited to the dining
room, where all did ample Justice to the
tempting viands.
Prof. Groves in few very appropriate
and touching remarks, after returning
from the dining room to the parlors
presented TO Mrs G. w. Pretty
purse of money, containing about $2l, as
a small token Of the appreciation in
which she was held by the members and
friends of the Church. This was indeed
a genuine surprise to that esteemed lady.

which made me mad. 1t spoke of peo-
pie gossiping and SIGH, and said when the
sleighing is over somethin' else would
be hunted up. would like to know if
we haven't right to talk? Why some
of us would just bust five didn't have
our say. To talk about our neighbors
and townspeople and the latest gossip
keeps me busy. Really am so busy
some days that don't care to eat. Why
I've heard--my l came near telling
you, and, then would have had to lie
to get out straight. Sometimes we do lie
a little. 1t is only when we can't place
the blame on some one else. When /

us gossips can always come out whole.
We are going to talk as much as we

We are in possession of Il dog that
for real beauty we will not vouch. This
particular dog is household gem in
every respect. lie neither fears burg
lars Or his dinner, the latter of which he
sometimes misses not willingly, how
ever. A certain real estate man is the
possessor of two famous dogs-or will be,
perhaps. One is brindle bull terrier,
while the other belongs to that famous
race of animals of the dog kingdom
known as Mastif. The purp is thor
oughbred with a pedigree of endless
length. This is where our dog lacks
merit. He is without pedigree-almost
without tail. Still, we have no hesitan-
cy in saying that with fair and square
treatment, he'll yet make a record that
will be lauded by the press-as well as
he looked up to by the real estate mans
powerful Masti6r.
"A partial glance at the interior of the
new residence of S. NJ. Donnell, Esq,
gave us the impression of house mod
eled for both convenience and comfort.
An open stairway leads to the third floor,
and the hall on the first floor is spacious
and well arranged The building is SO
constructed that three rooms can be al
most made into one, which with the adj
ditional space given by the broad hall
way, is an improvement much to be adj
mired in modern architecture. Station
cry washstands in marble, with hot and
cold water, is one of the important feat
ures of the house. Sliding doors give
communication from room to room. A
broad porch sets off the front of the
place admirably. The above remarks
are but slight part of the elegance and
comfort of Mr.. and Mrs. S. NJ. Donnell's
new home.

1t is question Of but short time
when the farmer will cease to make
butter and the art, if it may be so called
will soon be known as lost one. To
the house wife, for that little engine,
known as the Separator, has not only
made it possible but practical to reduce
butter making to a scienc, and has dele
gated the hard work attached to making
butter to the sterner sex, aided by that
obedient servant, steam, whereby more
and better butter can be made from the
same milk, thus netting from third to a
fourth more in clear cash to the farmer.
Besides increasing home trade which all
are all interested in, for if the farmer has
a market at home for his produce, he
will spend more of his money at home,
and as farming is the main driying-whee
to trade, we may soon expect home trade
to be booming, as Dawson Bros, Newark,
Del, will be ready to receive milk at their
creamery on Tuesday next, where they
have the latest improved machinery for
making butter, and everything bids fair
for successful operation.

who is the owner of the toll road run

dered in his residence, Wednesday morn
ing, at 425 Washington boulevard. About

behind left ear. Entrance was effected
by the murders througha back door, they
having taken out of the panel and sawed
out the lock. Mr.. Smell was one of the

Impudent Thieves.

The following taken from the Morning
Nc,cs shows that thieves about Middle
town care but little for those they are
stealing from; One night last week
some unknown persons visited the barn
of Nehemiah Davis, living . short dis
lance from Middletown, and killed hog
belonging to him. They then harnessed
one of Mr.. Davis's horses to a light wa
gon and hauled the hog away, together
with several bushels of corn, after which
they brought the team back, put the
horse in the stable and fed him. Mr..
Davis has no clue to the thieves.

Tuesday evening at the age of SO. He
had lived in the locality since 1888. He
owned a little property there and made

local historian of all events that had
transpired in Mill Creek for the past half
