qaeUt SUNDA Y MORNING NEWS.

"OH, HE was a faker!" exclaims a
mature contemporary of ours, with a
giddy disregard of photography quite
out of keeping with its elderly and
sober usages.
The reader is puzzled to know who
the ''faker'' was. We conjecture that
he must have been the author of the
following piece of rhetoric!-
One Afternoon recently, just after the world
was being tucked in by the curtains of night, the
gentleman whom adverse fate has obliged to earn
has Icing by the s1ceat of his face as city editor of
the Journal, his killing labors finished for the
day, was brushing with exceeding care his fash
ionably trimmed blonde mustache and whiskers,
when a visitor appeared in the sanctum.
The italics are ours, but we had no
idea Brother Benson had such a hard
time of it. If he had made the revela-
ton a little sooner, we might have
provided him with a much softer
snap" as a reporter on THE JERSEY

Leaving out Essex, there is only n
county, Mercer, which has a popula-
ton equal to the Democratic average.
Deducting Essex from the Republican
column and Hudson from the Demo-
cratic, the averages are 35,222 and
AZ, 800. At one end is Cape May and
at the other Hudson. Atlantic, Cape
May, Gloucester, Ocean, Somerset,
Hunterdon, Salem, Sussex and War
rem, nine counties, have nine Senators,
with a population of $4,000, while
Hudson, with a population $4,000
greater. and Essex, with q population
only $4,000 less, have only n each.
Ten counties, with a population OF
267, 900, have ten Senators, while the
eleven others, with a population OF
more than 1000, 900, have only eleven.
The basis of representation is in n
case about 27,0 0 and in the other
about 100, 900.
Members of the Legislature should
study these figures.

The Germanias ct cooper Han.

The annual ball of the Gerlnania
Schuetzen Bund, w. R., was held at
Cooper's Hall last night. The scene
in the dancing hall was a brilliant one.
The lights shone upon stalwart Ger

and staid matrons, who each and all
enjoyed themselves to the fullest ex-
tent.
The committee of arrangements was
composed of August Richter, John
Dust, John Wanzearied, Heyer

Feeney's Little Joke.

Mr.. Feeney's ~utterance regarding
''muslin-paper" soldiers belongs to the
same class of expression as the Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" remark of
the Rev. DIR. Burchard.
Both were the offspring Of a moment
of inspired eloquence, and both were
launched upon the ~treacherous air by
the mere impetus of the creative effort.
1t is hardly fair to hold that i'll either
case the speaker was responsible for
the speech. The words and the
Encyclopaedia they clothe must
rather be regarded as the expression
of the fine evolutionary frenzy that
possessed the man who uttered them.
DIR. Burchard's famous dictum made
and unmade a President. 1t is quite
probable that no above the grade
of an Assemblyman will be affected
by Mr.. Feeney's metonomical effort;
bnt the lesson to gentlemen who allow
themselves to be carried away on the
wings of their oratorical genius is none
the less cogent.
Mr., Teeney, in all probability, is, by
this time, bitterly repentant for his
unfortunate slip. The calmer refiec-
ton which he has since brought to
bear upon his remarks has doubtless
convinced him that men seldom begin
life rs veterans. 1t has probably
occurred to him that the veterans OF
today were very callow soldiers when
the note of alarm was sounded from
the lannon's mouth at Sumter. Can
he doubt that the young men who
now only make a gallant show on
dress parade would face the turmoil
of the battle field as readily as their
fathers did, were the call of duty to
resound again through the landf
As for the citizen soldiers of the
State, they can well afford to forgive
Mr.. Feeney for his little fauG pas. 1t
is all but certain that he will never do
it again. In fact, we would venture
to predict that in order to cure the
evil wrought by his all too FESTIVE
Pegasus, he would go further in
the interest of the National Guard
than any Assemblyman of them all.

RECENT DEATHS.
Peterson.

Emma Worcester, wife of Carl Pet
erson, died at her home in this place
Saturday afternoon from rheumatic
fever, after lingering illness of near
lv two months. She was 27 years
old, and had spent most of her short
but very useful life in this town. She
was the only child of Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Worcester, who are much
overcome by their great loss.
Though of a quiet and rather diff
dent nature her sweet and gentle
Christian spirit won her a large cir
Gle of friends. She was an active
member of the South church and al
ways ready for the Masters work.
About three years ago she married
Carl Peterson, in whose care and
keeping is now left little boy two
years old. Mrs. Peterson patiently
bore the sufferings of a long and
painful illness with that same calm
ness and resignation which had char
acterized her whole life Her purity
and simplicity will long be remem-
bered, and her memory preserved by
a host of loving friends.

REPAIRS AT THE POST OFFICE.

AS announced in these columns last
week everything has been satisfacto-
rilv adjusted in reference to the post
office and the department has taken
a five years lease of the building.
Repairs were begun on the property
early Monday morning and they will
be completed in about three weeks
The office when completed will not
differ materially from the plans pub
lished in the Caledoniau of January
81. There will be four windows in
the rear instead of three, as now, Civ
ing additional light to the work
room. AS soon as the windows are
cut through the rest of the work can

wood floor in the work room and
the boxes and furnishings retouched,
the public are assured a first class
office, and one that will be a credit
to the town. During the repairs the

SEIZING COLD TEA.

One day last week an intoxicated
man approached a workman at the
railroad station and entering into
conversation with him gave the in
formation that he had a pal who
carried a quantity of liquor in a va
lise and that if he wanted some of it
he could tell him how to procure it.
Now the person addressed happened
to be one of the village police force
in his work clothes, and he asked his
informant where the man was who
half-drunken man pointed to a per-
son on the platform little way off
with a grip in his hand. Another
officer being present each took their
man to the lookup, where they
were searched. On the one who was
intoxicated was found two bottles of
liquor, one only partly full. In the
gripsack was found a lunch and a
bottle of cold tea which the owner
had taken to comfort him on his way
to Canada, where he was intending
to go by the next train. While this
proceeding was going on, the man
who had liquor in his valise-for
there was such a man at the station
got on the train for North Concord,
and information came back next day
that he distributed his rum on the
train and after he reached his desti-
nation. The fact was the first man
arrested was so drunk and confused
that he pointed out the wrong man
and an innocent party was searched.
Of course the officers were much
chagrined that they were led into
such a mistake, but their duties re-
quire them to act on such informa-
ton as they can obtain, which con-
sidering the class of men they have
to deal with, is not always the most
reliable Another fact should be
considered before judgment is passed
on the officers are bringing
rum in valises from Woodsville and
Sherbrooke to this place every week
and peddling it out by the bottleful,
and the police are on the watch for
just such cases as this one purported
to be. The innocent man detained
by the officers is the only man
who need find fault. He was a
victim of this same nefarious rum
traffic which the police are trying to
curtail and destroy, and in doing
which they should have the moral
support of every good citizen.

church Friday evening. The young
impersonator gave a varied and
choicely rendered programme, being
heartily recalled at the close Mr..
Bass best efforts were his selections
from Dickens and Riley, where sever
al characters were very well taken.
Lily's ride from Tourgee's ga Fools
Errand" and the chariot race from
Ben-Hur were much enjoyed by the
audience. The Carol quartette sang
twice and responded to an encore.
Miss Howe opened the entertain
ment with a pleasing piano solo, and
Mrs. H. K. Ide favored the audience
with a vocal selection which we'll de-
served an encore.

CCH.'
H A Parsons of the Tribune fresh
air fund was in town Tuesday. He
has been in this state the past few
weeks looking up places for poor
city children which the fund sends
into the country each summer for
two weeks outing. The Tribune
fund sent out over 900 children
last year, and from present indica-
tions they will send as many more
this year. The whole matter is bet
ter organized and managed than it
was some years ago. The children
have to pass medical examination
before they can be sent out, and
those having vermin or contagious
disease cannot be accepted. The
good done by the two weeks vaca-
tion is not measured by the health
and pleasure obtained. The children
get ideas of cleanliness and the way
to live which they retain and impart
when they return home, and it is not
uncommon for one fresh air child re-
turning from the country to renovate
an entire household 1t is a good
work done for the poor, truly mis-
sionary work, and it does those good
who take them as we'll as the child
rem and their families.
