The Atalantas, of Newark, defeated the
Hudson County Wheelmen on the Orient
alleys last night, and caught up with
them in the race for the League cham
pionship honors.
The contest was exciting throughout.
The Atalantas were accompanied by a
number of friends, who ''whooped it up''
for them in fine STYLE and the friends of
the wheelmen demonstrated that Jersey
CITY lung power was every whit as strong
as that of Newark. The noise of the
laundering spheres and falling pins was
almost continually drowned by the lusty
cheering of spectators and yells of the
clubs.
Miller and Edwards bowled finely for
the visitors, and Tuthill did some clever
work for the home team.
Following is the score:

MES are in h y sang out her hus-
band in stentorian tones from some
lofty perch. It was bright moonlight,
and going out little farther she
looked up, and there, on the ridge of
the roof was her husband. Back and
forth he paced with measured tread,
arrayed in his night shirt and an old
cartridge belt and knapsake, with a
gorgeous chapeau on his head and
musket on his shoulder. At regular
intervals he sang out the doggerel
rhyme which first attracted her atten-
ton, It is needless to say she was
alarmed. She coaxed and called for
him to come down, but he was proof to
all entreaties. The noise woke several
of the neighbors, and windows in the
adjoining cottages began to go up, and
white objects to appear thereat and in
quire in alarm what the trouble was.
The wife was fearful lest her husband
should walk off the end of the roof and
break his neck. A score of neighbors
and friends had soon collected and
held council as to the best means of
getting the old soldier down. But
while thus engaged he disappeared on
the opposite side of the roof, and be-
fore the Mortified spectators could
interfere hurled the musket to the
ground and then jumped after it. It

Charms of CelibacY.

+ r = E : e 4 . f =. g i
Did you ever see man in the soli-
tude and privacy of his study attempt
to sew button on by himselfp It is,
in all it's details, says the Housekeeper,
one of the most interesting perform
ances in the world. First, he hunts for
a button. Generally, to secure it he
robs Peter to pay Paul, and cut one
from another garment. This may be
much larger or smaller than he size he
is wearing. Next, he hunts for a
needle. probably he goes out and buys
paper of needles. He always chooses
the largest needles, having an impress
sion that the larger needles would sew
stronger than small needles. AS to
thread, he gets the coarsest he can
find. and this he doubles. He would
thread his needle. He takes the big
needle in one hand, and his coarse
black thread in the other; he bites off
the thread to the desired length; then
he tries to twist it to fine point.
Generally, in this he succeeds in maxi
ing two, and sometimes three, fine
points out of one end. OF course, he
can't get all these points through
the needles eyes at once. He
tries hard to make the needle
and thread get on friend
ly terms with each other Sometimes
it is the needle that kicks, sometimes
the thread. Sometimes he really
imagines he has threaded his needle.
1t is an ocular delusion. The thread
has missed the needles eye half an
inch. 1t is harder work than saving
wood. At last the needle is threaded.
Now he tries to sew the button on with
out taking his trousers off. This
proves failure. He twists himself
into an uncomfortable position, and so
would sew. But he can not sew so.
He runs the needle into his finger, and
makes an inaudible exclamation.
Again the needle slips into a feshy
part of the hand, which induces very
audible dash from the operator. The
recording angel knows what is going on
inside of him, and debts him with
every item. He sews hard. He has
forgotten all about the necessity for a
thimble. He jams his thumb down on
the needles head, and it punctures his
thumb or runs under the nail. By and
by he sews the buttons eye full of
thread. His big needle does not pass
through any more. He must stop. He
ends by winding the thread as many
times as it will go under the button,
and perhaps he leaves off with two or
three inches of thread sticking outside
A woman can, through many outward
indications, tell when man has been
trying to sew on a button. He doesn't
know the shibboleth of needle and
thread, and it catches somewhere every
time At last the button is sewed on,
and he is proud of his work.

He Left Without the Testimo-
NAL

They had a quarrel Sunday evening.
He got mad and said he'd leave her.
Then she got vexed and told him he
could do as he pleased. He left. The
next night he came round again. He
asked to see her alone. She readily
complied. She was ali of tremor.
Her heart went out to him in a gush
of sympathetic love. She stood ready
to throw both arms about his neck
and cry out her. JOY. There was not
much color in his face and his voice
was husky. He said:
II have been with you for six
months, Matilda, and tried all that
time to do what WAS right
He paused for an instant to recover
his voice, which was faltering rap
idly, while her trembling increased.

BILE temper, and that do not control
it as ought. But have tried to be

He looked at her anxiously. All
the color left her face in flash. She
made great effort to swallow some
thing which threatened to suffocate
her. Then she spoke:

as you can, you wretch, or my father
shall kick you out

the testimonial. It'd Bits.

MISLAID LEGAL PAPERS.
Mr. Mussey Suggests New Rule for the

court to the difficulties attorneys sometimes
encounter In regard TO papers fled, which are
sometimes taken from the clerks Office. re-

Office. He noted the fact that recently, through
the clerk, he had been successful, after a six
years search, in obtaining papers in a case
which should have been disposed of long since.
The rules as 10 law papers require copies,
but In the equity cases no such rule applies.
In view OF the experience he and others had
had he submitted the following rule for the
consideration of the court and asked that this
or some such rule be passed:

shall be numbered consecutively in that cause

like. The papers fled in any cause shall re-
