A Dark Presentiment Sadly Realized.
James Wafer, the poor fellow who
wns hurled into eternity in an instant by
the fearful explosion at Prallsville last
Thursday morning, was to have been
married this Thursday. The young lady
to whom be was engaged had been living
at Mr.. VIM. p. Emery's in Pennington.
On Friday of week before last she gave
up her place and went to her home in
Lambertyille TO make arrangements for
her approaching wedding. One OF her
young lady friends accompanied her to
the depot. and this friend noticed that
the prospective bride seemed sad and
disheattened, expressing belief that
something dreadful was about to happen
that wonld prevent her from ever be-
coming the wife of James Wafer All
efforts by her friend to drive these fore
holdings from the mind of the young
lady were nnavailing. and she left town
with heavy heart. How true was her
dire prophecyl For in less than week
the gallant young man to whom she had
given her heart aud plighted her troth
was the victim OF an awful disaster, his
body torn to atoms and scattered afar.
Upon receipt of the ne VS. in Pennington
OF the great calamity the first thought
that came to the mind of the friend Of
the bereayed young girl was Of James
Wafer, and she at once expressed the fear
that he might have been the one killed.
as subsequent reports proved it was.
Let those who are better qualified to
solve occult mysteries explain by what
process this stricken girl was given an
advance signal of impending disaster.
We cannot do it. -Hunterdon Democrat.

A very funny incident occurred during
the delivery of Major McKinley's great
tariff speech on Friday The Major de-
clared that a good suit of all-wool clothes
could be bought in this country for $40,
whereupon Leopold Morse, the Demo.
cratic member from. Boston, who has
made q fortune in the clothing business,
said he could not stand all these reiterated
misstatements. lie knew something about
the clothing business, and he undertook
to say that no suit of Atwood clothing
could be bought in the United States for
the sum named. When he sat down,
Major Mckinley quietly opened his desk,
took out bundle, and united and DIS
played to the House handsome new suit
Of clothing, which he said was all wool,
Unless the firm of which Mr.. Morse was
the head deliberately deceived and cheat
ed their customers. He then read to the
convulsed House the receipted bill, show
ing that the clothes had been bought at
Morse's place within two weeks, and con-
tanning printed guarantee that they
were all wool. Mr.. Morse skunk hastily
out of sight amidst perfect thunders of
laughter and applause.

In chronic diseases, medicines should be
restoring, and not facilitating, in their
action. The wonderful strengthening and
curative effects, realized from the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, sustain the reputa-
ton of this remedy as the most popular
blood purifier.
False Economy.
One of the great evils of American life
is the attempt to believe that We are get
ting something for nothing" While
this is obviously fallacy, there are yet
many who persist in believing that money
is saved by the purchase of low.priced
article of inferior quality, because it will,
to a certain extent, answer the purp ose,
while better one that will do better SER
vice and is really worth double the money
expended, costs few dollars more.
In nothing else is this more clearly
proven than by the purchase of the low
priced sewing'machines now flooding the
country, while the new "Davis," the best
Machine in the market only costs from So
to $40 more.
