While Trying to Effect a Landing TheiI
 Craft Capsizes.
 KINKoRA, N. J., Got. 13.-Five per = sons were drowned in the river near the sluice and Knickerbocker ice houses at this place yesterday by the capsizing of 6 boat. The names of the drowned are: Solomon Fletcher, aged 32; John Fletcher, aged 22; Angelo Fletcher, aged 24, brothers; Cheafus Merry, aged 43, and Alonzo Cannon, aged 22. All five lived here and were employed at Murrell Dobbins' brick yard.
 The mon were bringing 23 large billings, each about IA feet long from Silver Lake Ice house, in an open boat with @ single sail. In attempting to make land between the ice houses and the sluice the bOwsprit of the boat struck one of the logs of the former. The shock of this and the swift cuR- rent of the waters of the sluice caused the boat to careen and the heavy pilings to shift to one side, overturning the craft. The men sank at once and the attempts made to save their lives by onlookers were unavailing. The bodies of Angelo Fletcher and Cheafus Merry were recovered.

the Emperor, r' reported A-f@ in a Psrisisn mn newspaper, is not credited in Berlin. The Emperor is well-known to be ar- dentIy desirous of regaining the Ger man provinces now held by Russia, and whose inhabitants are as much attached to Germany as those of Alsace-Lorraine are opposed to her rule.

The Great Secret
 Much Talked-Of Concern,

Perhaps there is no house in Connection whose success and methods of doing business have been commented upon more favorably than that of the Water bury Furniture company. Here is the secret which we have never made public before. We tried it simply as an experiment and felt certain that the people would "catch on" if it proved to be good thing.
 The merchants of Waterbury began to wonder why it was that two thirds of the newly.married couples invariably bought their goods from us after visit ing all the other dealers. They thought it was our acknowledged low prices, but we knew better and kept very quiet until we saw how our idea worked. NOW, we give our secret to the public, because our reputation is established for originality of design.
 Many years ago, in going around to the different stores, we noticed that there was very little difference in the styles and designs of the goods. The designs all appeared to be alike. We went at once to New York and engaged the ser vices of q first-class designer and started immediately for the West. We gave our own special designs to the manu- facturer, and that is why you will al- ways see something in our stores different from what every oIneE uedleT has Shu"h you

Brief Sketch of the Great Jurist and
 Constitutional Lawyer.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Mrs. Harri- son, Chief Justice Fuller, Attorney. General Miller and other Cabinet the Supreme Court have been among the days callers at the Miller home.
 One of Justice Miller's associates on the Bench, in speaking of his colleague, said that the IAborious work of the Circuit Court the past summer had told upon him. Only about two weeks ago, on his return from the West, he remarked to several of the justices that the work of his circuit was too hard for him, and he had determined never again to undertake 1t. He was tired never again would do the work and do himself justice.
 Justice Miller was born at Richmond, Ky. April 6, ,1S16, and was consequently in the 75th year of his age. He was educated at the University of Transyl- yAnia, from which he graduated with honors.
 He studied medicine and practiced As @ physician for several years, when, becoming tired of medicine, he aband- oned medicine to study law.
 He attained e prominent place as lawyer in a very short time. He left Kentucky in 1850 and settled in Iowa. where he bee anne . Republican leader. He steadfastly refused to accept any office although repeatedly asked to do 90, and continued to practice law till 1862, when he was appointed an Asso- eiate Justice of the Supreme Court by President Lincoln.
 He has been the senior Justice for many years, Justice Field, appointed also by President Lincoln in 1888, stand ing next to him in seniority.
 Presidents Grant and Cleveland both contemplated promoting Justice Miller to be Chief Justice of the United States but were influenced not to do so for party reasons.
 Since he first took his seat on the Supreme bench Justice Miller was regarded as a strong man. His reputa- ton as an authority on constitutional law was almost as great as was that of Chief Justice Marshall.

A Person Borrowing $1,0OO From The

MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK
 The cost will be: Application, or Membership Fee for shares, $10,OO. Monthly dues, months, $5 per month, $15, ,00: Then he can apply for a loan the cost of which will be SIS per month, Gno1uding monthly duAsJ, for 97 months, S1261 ,00. Total cost, $12S6,OO, amount borrowed, $1000,00. Actual cost of loans for 97 months, with the advantage of pay ing off the loan in small monthly install ments, $2S5,00.
 The shares will likely mature within 100 months, which would consequently decrease the cost of the loan.
 The borrow wer pays the cost of his loan in monthly installments. On loan of $1 ,OO0 he pays $10 per month on the principal, and S3 per month for the use of the loan. But it should be considered that during the 97 months the borrower has saved the payment of rent, which would surely have amounted to greater sum than the actual cost of the loan. The Merchantile Cooperative Bank will enable a shareholder not only to provide home for himself and family, but it saves him from the payment of rent for all future time.
