WILD BOARs TO HUNT.
Brought Over to XIII RsttlsAnakes and
Grown to he u Nuisance.

Brought Over to KIN Rattlssnakes and
Grown to he Nuisance.
There is q good prospect that the people
of this valley will before long be able to
indulge in the royal sport of boar hunting,
after the European fashion, within the
bounds Of their own territory. The wild
hogs are here, savage and quite numerous.
The way they came her, was this:
Mr.. Otto Plock, New York banker.
ownsa fine country place in the Neversink
Valley, about six miles north of this town.
A considerable section of his estate, includ-
ing a wild. stony and woody tract along
the decivity of the Shawangunk Noun
tains, has been inclosed in strong wire
fence. twelve feet high. and set apart as
park for deer and other fancy animals and
game birds. The rocky lodges and thick
cts in the tract furnish favorite airs for
Tattlesnakes and other vermin. With the
view of rIdding himself Of these disagree
able tenants, about three years ago Mr..
Plock imported from the Black Forest in
WurtemberR. Germany, litter of the
famous wild hogs of that region. which are
known to be the deadly foes of snakes and
oil other reptiles. venomous or other wise,
and expert in destroying such vermin. Mr..
Plock turned the swine loose in his park.
and they speedily performed their mission.
But they are restless as we'll az wild. and
some of them soon broke out of the park
and betook themselves to the fastness of
the neighboring mountains and swamps.
These wild hogs are savage and danger.
Gus beasts. with huge tusks and long. erect
bristles, aud are almost al fleet OF foot as
deer. Since their escape to the forest they
have multiplied aud the audacity Of their
raids upon the crops and stores OF the
neighboring farmers has grown until they
have become real terror. They hide in
the daytime and maraud at night. No
dog dares to tackle them q second time.
and they are as feet and cunning as wolves.
Somebody will have a lively time in exter.
minatiuQ them.

HOW STARS ARE MADE.

Old Jupiter notifies Valcan
That he needs first magnitude star.
The gold Is then mined from Olympus
And hammered out Into q bar;
Cut, polished with emery paper.
And then, that Its beauty neer fade,
IT'S with diamond dust sprinkled by Junos
fair hand,
And . heavenly star is made.
The manager tells the dressmaker
That he needs u new star--nothinB less
They both put their wise heads together
And concoct an elaborate dress:
Then Gomez sonibs from sv'ry newspaper,
For all Of which money IL paid
The stars diam onds dust of III some kind
friendly hand,
And q drama tic star Is made.

Silver COfnaGa.

The Salt Lake tribune has been one of
the ablest ard most consistent sdvocates
OF the full reconciliation of silver. In an
editorial Of the 9th inst, accompanying
an able letter from an eastern banker on
the same subject, II shows how this de-
sired object may be forwarded by the in-
coming administration without any i'm
niooiate Legislation, simply by purchasing
monthly the maximum instead Of the
stead of $4,000, 900. Such monthly pur-
chases would absorb nearly or quite all OF
our product and would trouble England 10

to California company to carry Q semi
weekly mail from Hazleton to tee Big

Chinese father to kill his child at any

HAUNTED NEARLY 100 YEARS

A Historic Mansion Inhabited by Ghosts
Almost IA Century.
The General Hill house" historical
mansion at Harrisburg, Warren County,
N. j., has just been demolished. 1t was
built toward the close of the last century,
and was still in good state of preserva-
tion when torn down. The house for
years has had the name of being
haunted and strange noises, it is said,
could be heard in its vicinity at night.
On this account it was uninhabited.
Hundreds of people visited it, and
sometimes they really did hear blood
curdling sounds from the vacant rooms
and big stairways. There is story of
crime connected with the Hill mansion
General Hill was commander of the
militia in 1893, and there were drills
held, at which whole communities
gathered and went through the manual
of arms. On one of these occasions,
September, % in that year, soldier
named Uriah Albertson did something
that greatly incenseed the commander
He ran away, and General Hill
pursued him, overlook him and ran the
end of his sword into his eye penetrat-
ing the brain and causing instant death.
Threats of violence were made by the
soldiers, but the General escaped un-
harmed. lie was tried for murder and
acquitted but, so the legend runs. he was
pursued by a phantom day and nightun-
til the hour of his death, which occurred
few months afterwards from remorse
He would never allow the light in his
house to be put out. Supernatural ap-
pearances are said to have been seen on
the premises as long as the mansion
stood.

HER UNDERCL0THES.
The Unseen But Important Portion of a
Debutante's Wardrobe.


In describing a debutante's superb
wardrobe, the New York World gives a
minute description of her underclothes,
for these are important details which,
though they are not seen, must yet be
artistic and charming in eff
feet in order that the wearer
may have the moral support of feeling
out. These underclothes are for the
most part of India silk, or the new
japanese Grape that is fast becoming so
popular it is likely TO supersode all other
materials for this purpose
They are made upin entire sets, which
are all of one color-pale tan, pale gray,
blue cell, old pink, green, gold, cream,
white and black-and, of course,
smothered in lace and needle-work.
There is little knitted silk vest to
match each suit, which is so elastic it
can be drawn up close about the throat
by the gathering ribbon, or when worn
with low gown can be loosened to fall
around the shoulders.
Then come the dainty silk or Grape
garments, cut very short, filled with lace
and monogram of two long, narrow
letters in delicate needle work set on the
upper left hand side of the che,
misses. There is satin corset,
of course, which is also laced and
embroidered, and the skirt is of silk or
Grape, with lace tlounces. There are
long silk stockings to match every suit,
and satin evening slippers of half dozen
tints. These suits are not always worn,
however, of uniform shade throughout.
The wearer pleases her fancy by all
manner of charming combinations;
as for example she will wear u
suit of pale tan with black corset.
black stockings and patent leather shoes,
or pale green combined with tan and the
addition of tan Suede slippers, or gold
with scarlet, or black with mauve, 1t
is necessary that these undergarments
should be of silk in order that the EN-
pire gowns, of which this beautiful ward.
robe holds many, should have the re-
quired smoothness Of flow, unbroken by
one stiff cambric plat.
