THREE TIMES DEAD.
Strange Influence a Bostonian Had
Upon an Evidently Dead Woman.

Living in San Francisco today are
two persons whose strange expert
ences have long been a mystery to
me. Two years ago a Boston gentle
man came out to the Coast. He
brought with him his companion. a
young woman in the last stages Of
consumption. She was pretty and
talented and ten years younger than
her escort.
One day her companion vas out of
the city. During his absence she was
taken suddenly with q sinking spell
and the landiady became greatly
alarmed. Intwo hours the invalid was
pronounced dead by the ladies in the
boarding house who were in attend
ance upon her. AS the day advanced
the landlady, seeing no signs of the
gentleman's return, visited an under
takers near by and preparations were
made for laying out the corpse.
The body was cold and stiff when
the undertaken arrived. He viewed
the corpse and went back to his shop
for his assistant. During his absence
the missing companion OF the dead
young oma arrived upon the scene.
1t was now about four O'Clock in the
afternoon. Upon being informed of
her death five hours before the gem
tleman uttered an exclamation of SUR
prise. Then rushing up to the room
where the body lay he closed the door
behind him and turned the key. When
the undertaken returned he was re-
fused admission. Two hours after the
gentleman emerged from the room
and ordered W suppers sent to the
apartment.
Later the young lady was seen sit
ting upright in bed, eating heartily.
Her companion had brought her back
to life by a method of rubbing and
physical manipulation known only to
himself. Twice after this he repeated
the performance. Three times to my
knowledge has this young man
brought the young woman back from
the dead. She lives here today, still
an invalid, and is liable to die again
at almost any moment.-Cog. Wash
Gngton Post.
Caring for the Baby.
A knitted blanket or an embroi-
dered cashmere one can be wrapped
around the baby unless the weather
is very warm. 1t is always safe to use
n when it is carried from one room
to another, to protect the head from
draughts. Little knitted socks keep
the feet warm and add much to its
comfort.
Do not be afraid of fresh air. Open
the window and provide artificial
heat sufficient to keep the room at a
temperature of 68 degrees.
Do not let the air blow directly upon
the child; a screen placed near the win
dow or a strip of flannel pinned in
front of the opening will prevent this.
Take the baby into the open air
every pleasant day, putting on
sufficient clothing to keep it warm.
Do not trust it in a baby carriage with
a young girl, whose ~carelessness might
injure it for life.
Always dress and undress a young
baby by an open fire. II it cries dur
ing the day, unpinning its foot
blanket and warming it's feet will
sometimes quiet it.-LGdies' Home

If the JERSEY Cry News is an organ of the
Democratic party Of Hudson County it would
seem as If that party had awakened to the sense
OF shame which seemed all along to be wanting.
The News says:-'1s it not time for him xCleve-
lanG) to get out and give the Democracy o
chance for life.-Necaak Press?o
THE JERSEY Cry NEWS is as UNI
compromisingly Democratic as the
Newark Press is uncompromisingly
Republican; but it is the organ of no.
body and Of nothing except Of public
opinion. The Democracy is heartily
ashamed OF. the scoundrels who have
been bringing disgrace OF it in Hud-
son, and presently it will bury them
where they will never be heard OF
again.

ANOTHER practical plea of guilty"
was made yesterday. Counsel for the
indicted election scoundrels made the
biggest kind of a kick against their
trial by a "struck" jury, that is to say
by an honest impartial jury.
What is the logic of this?.
If these men are innocent, why
should they object to this sort of
jury? Why, in particular, do they
insist on being tried by a jury chosen
through the Sheriffs office?

of work, they are sure to perform it
again in exactly the same manner.

Where Watcres Are made.

The Theological Re0ieeo says that
the great modern centers of watch
making are Coventry and Prescott,
England; LocIe and Chaux de Fonds,
near Geneva, Switzerland, and Elgin
and Waltham, America. The super
iority of the Swiss watches made by
hand arises from the fact that in
Switzerland whole families are taught
and pursue the trade for generations,
and thus acquire phenomenal skill
and nicely in their work. Their APP
prentices are also required to serve
ten years before they can be called
master workmen.

Nincompoop Reformers.

One of the most discouraging things
about Jersey City politics is the blat-
ant hollowness of the reform element
in the community. There is a certain
set of men who are always
ready to 60 to public meetings and
howl against corruption. Ii you
meet them in the street they
wall about the misgovernment
Of the city and the crookedness
Of the ciiques that control the two
parties. They are great people to
complain. But just try to get them
to do something for the betterment of
public affairs and you find them a
parcel of fiabby nincompoops, and
the energetic scoundrels who run the
party machines simply laugh at them.
After the fraudulent election of
Mayor Cleveland, these people got up
and talked. Oh, how they did talk!
They talked so loud, that the general
public, who are heartily sick of %
ruption and misrule, believed they
were in earnest, and stood up man
fully to back their prospective efforts.
Remember that great Tabernacle
meeting where the people turned out
in thousands. and with enthusiastic
shouts proclaimed the downfall of the
Ring.
The people were in earnest, but the
leaders were not. They were talking,
making a fuss, ~fabricating reputation
for themselves and all the time max
ing schemes to dodge any personal
trouble OF expense.
Look at your Committee of Fifty
that splendid non-partisan array of
eminent citizens which was to have
turned the politics of Jersey City up
side down. What of it now? Why
all that can be got together is a paltry
corporal's guard of eighth which
those self-seeking humbugs, Altemus
and Abarbanell, with whom no decent
Democrat will associate, are always in
the lead.
Reformers, Bah! Such people de-
serve to have Orestes Cleveland for
Mayor, and to have their purses and
their franchises controlled by the cor
rupt and vulgar heelers of the pol
itical rings.
There is no hope for Jersey City
until the respectable element Of the
community stops whining and gets
up and does something.

Arrest OF q Man Accused of Shipping O
Body In a Soap Barrel

Alexander Phillipseu, who arrived on the
steamship Normannia on Friday, was arrested
yesterday in New York by the barge office
officers, charged with being the murderer Of
the Dane, Mayer. whose corpse was shipped to
this country in April last in a soap barrel. E.
Z. Jacobsen, who knew both Mayer and Phillip
sen In Copenhagen, made the charge and Phil
lipsen is now held at the barge Office for exam
ination.

stores in New York. He went TO live at the
Hotel Denmark, at SO Greenwich street. On
Saturday he was standing at the bar of the
hotel talking to the bartender, William Stampe.
'.Do you remember the murdered Dane VINO
was sent to this city in a soap barrel? Well.
that man over there is the murderer" said
Jacobsen.
The rumor first reached the ears of the barge
officers early yesterday morning. 1t did not
come directly, but the rumor was sufficient to
warrant his arrest. Phillipsen Was arrested
when he went to the barge Office for his bag
gage. He is a Dane about thirty-six years OF
age. Mayer was about forty-two years old.
Phiilipsen was seen ut the barge Office. He
speaks English very we'll HIS stories. which
are numerous, conflict He admitted that the
murderer was named Phillipsen. but said that
the murderer's name was Adolpn and not Alex

"Baby" Beatrice at Atlantic CITY.

Among the strollers on the boardwalk at
Atlantic City yesterday afternoon was Mrs.
Howard Rupp, who carried in her arms the
famous baby" Beatrice. who acquired SO
much notoriety as the innocent cause of the
sensational Developments in the Robert Ray
Hamilton mesalliance. They are stopping at a
cottage on Tennessee avenue. less than a half
square from the Noll Cottage where the
tragedy was enacted that lifted the veil of
secrecy from Robert Ray Hamilton's marriage
to Eyangeline Steele. Baby" Beatrice looked
bright and cheerful in her garb OF white lace.
and nestled contentedly in the arms of her
adopted mother. There was a conspicuous
absence of diamonds from her baby fingers
that SO distinguished her among other children
on the beach last summer

THE BELGIAN STRIKE,
More Than Sixteen Thousand Join
Those Already Out.

The Belgian government is making active
preparations in anticipation of possible out
break as the result of the miners strike in the
Boringc district. Both the miners and mine
owners refuse to bulge one iot from the posi-
tions they have taken up. The owners offered,
as a compromise. to allow the regulations,
which were regarded by the miners as obnox-
ious, to become dead letter for the present,
but the miners absolutely refuse this and insist
on their entire abolition. As n consequence Of
this state of affairs IL, $50 men are striking and
twelve or more fires have been extinguished at
the mine shafts. The guard of chasseurs and
lancers have been considerably increased, but
the presence OF the military is very objection
able to the men.
Two regiments arrived yesterday and were
greeted by cat calls Kisses. groans and other
offensive demonstrations. but SO far no violence
has been reported. A French anarchist named
Collard, while making a very wild harangue to
the Boringe miners, urging them not only to
strike but to fight for their rights. was seized
by the gendarmes and promptly kicked over
the frontier. The Westphalian and Saxony
miners have not only sent expressions of SYM
pathy to the striking Borgians. but have also
promised to furnish them with money for
lighting their masters. The strike is declared
to be matter Of international importance.

The Question Of Shipping Cartridges.

The Canadian minister of customs was
asked yesterday if any representations had
been made to him in reference to the alleged
refusal of the United States government to
allow the assignment of cartridges from the
establishment of the Dominion Cartridge Com
pany to pass through the United States in
bond for Mexico. He replied that rep
reservations had been made to him by
Capt. Howard that difficulties were thrown
in his way by the United States government in
reference to the shipment of his goods in bond.
but that the papers were not in such state as
to enable him (the minister) to deal with the
matter He had asked Capt Howard to fur
nish the department with full information on
the question. Capt. Towards complaint was
that the United States government had refused
to allow him to send not only cartridges but
even cartridge shells through the states in
bond

The American Girl.

From the EdineburR Review.
On the other side of the. Atlantic Ii is no new
thing for young woman to come before the
world to cut out for herself a successful and
honorable career and to sacrifice all other con-
siderations to the development of her indi-
viduality. In America there is no aristocracy
but that Of wealth; no one inherits distinction,
1t must be won; and a passionate wish nat
nrally arises to make ones mark in ones own
day and generation. As rule the tendency is
toward an artistic or professional career but
OF late years it has set toward fashion

KILLED HIS LITTLE BROTHER
Six-Year-Old Boys Fatal Target
Practice at Pittsbury.

Frank Longneck,a six-year-old lad of the South
Side, shot his two-year.old brother last satur-
day, from the effects Of which the little fellow
died yesterday morning. The shooting oc-
Cured while tho boys were at play. Frank
who possessed rife, was out in the yard with
some other children shooting at tin can targets,
while his brother aud several other children
were looking on. Frank had loaded his gun
to again fire at the target He had it raised
and was taking aim and was about to fire, when
his little brother. who was sitting close by,
without any warning got up and started to run
past Frank. The gun was discharged, the ball
striking the child in the left eye, penetrating
the brain. The shooting was clearly acct.
de ntai. but Coroner Mcdowell ordered the ar
rest OF the six-year- old and kept him in a cell
of the twenty-eighth ward station several hours,
when it became evident that it was cruel to
eonfine the child and he was released pending

THEY ARE COSTLY.
Expert Bnliardists Pay Handsomely
for the Cues They Use.

From the Cincinnati Times Star
"fes, there IL more in . cue than most peo-
pie suppose" said Hy. Bowman, the billiard
expert, a he ehaIksd his cue. after having
mrde brilliant play. snow look a this tip, -
he continued "You see, II IL rub bed down 70
sort Of point And then IL is not half as large
as the old style Of tip. 1t seems strange how
players were against small tips years ago. I
remember that myself used to want the
largest tip attainable. was under the i'm
preston that the bigger the tip the fuller the
blow that could be given the ball Now know
better. Look here. You see, that owing to
the pyramidai shape Of this Zip blow can be
given to the side Of ball and strike more sur
face than could be touched by tbs Old style,
which is perfectly fat When a direct blow
given only point can be touched with
either"
What are the tips made off" queried the
reporter.
The best are made in France. They con-
sist Of two bits Of leather. The foundation is
solid and of dark color, and adaptable to
being glued to the wood. The other is white
and OF softer texture, that will take chalk and
that can be shaped as desired No, they are
not sent from the shops ready for use unless
ordered 30. The tip is usually of a much
greater diameter than is the end Of the cue
ana TINS extra leather Is rubbed off with sand
paper"
What is the proper length Of a cue?'
"Ihe old style was feet long. but finally
they were reduced to feet inches. but ex
perts use shorter than that-about4 fee. 4
inches"
What are the advantages Of the shorter
ones?'
well, in the first place. there is too much
lumber to handle. No matter how far one NAV
want to reach there are several inches at each
END that are not in use. Then the long ones
spring at the wrong place--near the hand
while the spring in the short. slender ones is
very near the tip. The weight il another i'm
portant feature. An ordinary player will use
any cue from fourteen to twenty-four ounces
IN weight but about eighteen ounces is the
iavorite weight of experts. Ladies use a much
iighter-say from thirteen to fifteen ounces"
What kind of wood is mostly Jsedl"
"oh, ash, hickory and maple are used for
the ordinary cue, but for something fancy
ebony, walnut, rosewood, cocobolo. amarynth
or mahogany come into PLAY. Now, take this
cue, made expressly for myself. The butt is OF
solid ebony and the smaller end of ash, blu,
some are made with pieces of different woods
land In, ana often they are carved. fancy cue
is to billiard player whrt nice bow is to
violinist, and you would be surprised at the
prices paid for some. The cheapest are "a a
dozen, but a real nice, inlaid. jointed one ID
worth $40. You can get anything of interme
date value you want. Most experts and lovers
OF the game have cues made to order and
1ointed so that they may be taken along on

REPENTING AT LEISURE.
The Result OF 1S-Year-Old Girls
Hasty Marriage to a Sicilian Barber.

Rosie Sadler, the pretty sixteen-year- old
daughter Of the proprierress of the National
Hotel in Newark, who eloped with August
Reggo, a Slcilan barber, the latter part of

Last night Reggo was brought to Newark by
Detective Carroll and locked up at police head
