The Newspaper Put:

i
The newspaper puff is something
that makes men feel bad-if they
don't get it. The groundwork of an
ordinary newspaper puff consists OF
good moral character and a good
bank account. Writing newspaper
puffs is like mixing sherry cobbler,
and mlntjuleps allthrougb the summer
months for customers and quenchinp
your own thirst with rain water
Sometimes . man is looking for a
puff and don't get it: then he SAYS
that the publication is going down
hill, and that i: Is in the hands of mo.
nopoly, and he would stop subscrib-
ing if he did not have to pay his bill
first. Writing newspaper puff is
like taking photograph of home
ly baby. If the photograph doesn't
represent the child with wings, and
halos, and harps, and things, 1t shows
that the artist does not understand
his business. So it is with the news
paper puff the puffee doesn't
stand out like bold and fearless ex.
ponent of truth and morality, 1t sho ws
that the puffer doesn't understand
human nature. 1t is more fun to see
a man read puff of himself that it
is to see fat man slip on an orange
peel. The narrw-minded man reads
it over seven or eight times and then
goes around to the different places
in town where the paper Is taken,
and steals what papers he can. The
kind.hearted family man goes home
ard reads it to his wife, and then
pays up his bill on the paper. Yhe
successful business man, who adver-
tisss and makes money, starts Imme-
diately to find the newspaper man
and speak a word of greatful &C.
knowledgement and encouragement.
Then the two men start out of the
sanctum and walked thoughtfully
down the street together, and the
successful business man takes sugar
In bis, and they both eat Glove or
two; and life is sweeter, and peace
settles down like a turtle dove in our
hearts, and after while lamp-posts
get more plentiful, and everybody
seems more or less intoxicated; but
the hearts of these two men are filled
with a naneless Joy because they
know just where to stop and not
make themselves rldiculous.-Bill
Nye, in Texas Siftings.

Sol Miller asks: eff Miss Brown
marrles Mr.. Greene, she is spoken of
as nee Brown. If her husband dies
and she marries again, is it proper to
speak of her as nee Greene? In 9TH
er words, can woman have two
nees?" Evidently she cannot with
she marries twice; and in the above
case she would have one Brown nee
and one Green nee. This is better.
perhaps, than haYing one White and
one Black nee. After all, hadn't ed
itors better avoid this nee business
entirely when referring to married

ishments, or viewed as defining our
rights and liberties. In locating the
the limits of life 1t is important to
ascertain the base line of our being,

The limitation of life are fertile in

its range of reason is restricted, but
is neither wingless nor footless. We
cannot Danish from single life the

Encouraging Science.
The Vermont Microscopical Asso.
citation has just announced that
prize of $3.50, given by the Wells d
Richardson Co., the well-known
chemists, will be paid to the first
discoverer of a new disease germ.
The wonderful discovery by Prof.
Kuch of the comma bacillus, as the
cause of Cholera, stimulated great
research throughout the world and
it is believed this liberal prize, offer
ed by house of such standing, will
greatly assist In the detection of mi
cro-erganisms that are the direct
cause of many diseases. Any infor-

Denver's Salvation Army Is noted
for its scrawny soldiers. The women
are particularly marked for their
lack of physical development. The
S. A. needs few heavy weights and
muscular women like Capt. Grimes,

west ii. e., the "west" east of Denver).
She dances as well as sings. After
telling her hearers that she has a
Christian experience where the rata
can't get at it it she breaks out in
some such ditty as this:
I'm happy on Monday. Tuesday, "Wednesday
I'm happy on Thursday, too.
Pm happy on Friday. Saturday, Sunday,
I'm joyous the whole week through"
Then the band plays and she
dances a double shuttle to the great
delight of the congregation, for she
is capital performer. She claims
that she can shoot the devil more eff
fectvely than, any college-bred

w. T. Rogers of Denver, special
counsel for Lincoln county in the
matter of settlement between that
county and Bent, was in town this
week trying, IN conjunction with the
boards of the respective counties, to
effect a settlement between them.
Lincoln county got two thousand
dollars in cash as her portion of the
assets from Elbert county with no
debts, while the portion clipped OF
from Bent county, comes to them en-
numbered with debt amounting to
four thousand dollars, while there is
no cash to be placed to Its credit.
The only question that stood in the
way of a settlement was the time
Bent county was willing to allow
Lincoln county in which to pay
the amount of Indebtedness. The
law requires the same to be paid, or
warrants drawn for the same within
ten days, and the Lincoln county
board requested twenty years in
which to make full payment of the
amount. This exacting proposition
the Bent county board was not dis
posed to consider and SO the matter
stands.-Las Animas Leader.

There was an auction at one of the
DOWNTOWN auction houses recently
A pale, sad faced woman, in q plain
calico gown, stood in = crowd. The
ioud-voiced auctioneer finally came
to a lot of PLAIN and somewhat worn
furniture. 1t had belonged to the
plain woman, and was being sold to
satisfy the mortgage on it. One by
one the articles were sold, the old
bureau to one, the easy rocker to an,
other and bedstead to a third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out
a child's high-chair. 1t was old and
ricketty, and as the auctioneer held
1t up everybody laughed--sverybody
excepting the pale faced woman. A
tear trickled down her cheek. The
auc,ioneer saw it, and somehow a
lump seemed to come up his throat,
and his gruff voice grew soft. He
remembered little high.chair At
home, and how it had once filed his
life with sunshine.
1t was empty now. The baby
lsugh, the two little hands that were
once held out to greet 'papa" from
that high-chair were gone forever.
He saw the pale-faced woman's pit
eous looks, and knew what 1t meant;
knew ths, in her eyes the little rick
city high-chair was more precious
than il it had been of gold studded
with diamonds. In imagination he
could see the little dimpled cherub
which it once held; could see the
chubby little fist grasping the tin
rattle-boI and pounding the chair
full of nicks; could see the little feet
which had rubbed the paint off the
legs; could hear the Growing and
laughing in glee-and now, the little
high-chair was empty.
He knew there was an aching void
IN the pale-faccd womar's heart;
there was IN his own. Somehow the
days may come and go, but you
never get over it. There is NO one
to dress iu the morning, no one to
put to bed at night. "Don't laugh"
said the auctiopeer, softly, as some
body facetIusly offered ten cents; (;
"many of you have little empty high
chairs at home which money would
not tempt you to part with" Then
he handed the clerk n bill out of his
own pocket and remarked. "Sold to
the lady right there" and as the
pale-faced woman walked out with
the little high-chair clasped In her
arms, and tears streaming down her
cheeks, the crowd stood back re-
specially, and there was a suspicious
moisture in the eyes of the man who
had bid ten cents.-Detroit Free

Base Ball Fixtures.
The base ball seaso" this city opened
with large attendance yesterday On
auguration Day., in a game between the
Lambertvile aud Easton Juniors, and we
must say the former did credit to them
selves as an amateur team, shutting the
latter out. Several times the Easton'
players reached third base, but were una.
Bile to score on account of Hnrley's effec-
tivevwork in the box. Callan's batting
was one of the features of the game, he
making two doubles and single, also
catching an admirable game. I. Thorne
did splendidly on first base, and we think
the managers did we'll 10 play him in that
position. Trusty, the new third base
man, is the finest player in that position
ever seen on the grounds, and we hope
the managers will keep him there. Colli-
gan, Schenck, Knowlan, WolYerton and
Ely all did we'll in their different posi-
tions. For Eastou, Craig caught long
fly and doubled up Hurley at first by
making fine throw. All of the Eastons
played well, but could not hit Hurley,
while Lambertvile bad the Easton field
ers chasing the leather all the time.

Court. Proceedings.

| -
I Court. Proceedings.
In the Court of Quarter Sessions last
week the following indictments were
tried:
Tho State v. John Larue aud Julia La
rue.-Indictmen for keeping disordery
house. The defendants live in French
town, and it was claimed that they quar-
relied and fought between themselves and
with the neighbors, that they used indie
cent and profane language about the
premises and created noises and disturb
ances therein; also, that for part of the
time covered by the indictment they
lived together without being married.
Verdict, guilty.
The State v. Cyrus Bloom. The de-
PENDANT was indicted for breaking and en-
tering the store of Gary Wilson at Mount
Pleasant and stealing money and goods.
The defendant was in the immediate
neighborhood on the night of the bur-
glary and was seen the next day on the
road from Mount Pleasant to Bloomsbury.
He was tracked to where some of the
stolen property was found. His story as
to his movements was uncorroborated
and improbable. Verdict--guilty. A
second indictment against the defendant
for the same burglary was being tried
when the jury rendered the verdict, and
the defendant pleaded non guH asto that,
and also to an indictment for an attempted
arson.
The State v Peter Smith. Indictment
for keeping disorderly house. The de-
PENDANT keeps saloon on Church street
in the city of Lambertville. 1t was claimed
on the part of the State that the saloon
was very badly conducted. Witnesses
testified that drunken men congregated
there and caused noises and disturbances,
and used profane language; that persons
under the influence of liquor would como
out of the saloon and indecently expose
their persons, and that the saloon was
nuisance to the community. Other wit
nesses testified that on many occasions
they bought liquor at the saloon on Sun
day, and also played cards there ON Sum
day. Boys under age testified that they
were in the habit of drinking beer 10 the
saloon. On the other hand, number of
witnesses who lived in the immediate
neighborhood, or were we'll acquainted
with the premises, testified that they had
never seen anything wrong about the sa-
loon, and thought it was well conducted.
The case was given to the jury on Sat-
urday afternoon. In about an hour YER
dict of guilty was reached. but the de-
PENDANT was recommended to the mercy
OF the Court.
There are seven or eight indictments
yet to try but none of them will be COM
menced until May 1Sth.--Hunterdon
Democrat.

"A correspondent writing from Wash
ington, Warren county, to the Clinton
Democrat of April 25th, says.
Frank A. Robbins circus and mo-
nagerie show exhibited here on Saturday
afternoon, and was to have exhibited in
the evening, but terrific thunder storm
of wind, rain and hail blew down and
wrecked their tents so as to prevent the
performance. The storm struck this
place at 7.15 O'Clock. just at the close of
their outside performance. About one
hundred tickets had been sold, and the
immense crowd of people that had ga
thered on the grounds dispersed to places
OF shelter at the approach of the storm,
except those holding tickets, who had
just entered the. menagerie tent, which
in an instant was blown down, causing
the greatest CONSERVATION and excite
ment to prevail. A regular panic en-
sued. People scrambled over one an
other to find an exit; some cut holes in
the tent and crawled out, amid the
screams of frightened women and the
shouting of men and boys. Once out.
side the tent in the darkness, the lights
being extinguished, there was nothing
to guide them but the binding flashes
of lightning. They ran heller SHELTER
in every direction, some plungiDg into
deep ditch filed with water, where
they fell in heaps, and were rescued by
others, and finally found shelter at their
homes and neighboring houses. Sew
eral persons we're injured, but, strange
to say, none seriously. Had the storm
come an hour later and the tent been
filled with people, as it undoubtedly
would have been, the result would have
been terrible to contemplate. The dam
age to the tent will amount to several
hundred dollars.

pensioners, we find in an exchange:
The Soldiers aud Sailors Veteran
League of Newark is making an effort to
have pension agency for this State es-
tablshed in that city, but Trenton and
Camden also claim the distinction, which
involves good office for somebody
There are said to be 5000 pensioners in
New Jersey, who now have to draw their
money through the New York city agency
and are subjected to annoying delays be-
cause of the large amount of business
done there. Until twelve years ago there
was an agency at Trenton, but the pen
soners of this State were then transferred
to Washington and subsequently, four
years since, to New York. Their number
has been largely increased by recent leg
islation and is likely to become still
greater, and their request for an agency
in New Jersey will probably be granted
after lively fight over its location.
