THE bigotry and intolerance of the
Freethinkers, are sometimes quite as
narrow and marked as the bigotry
and intolerance OF the churches. The
Newark Turner'S have just suspended
the fencers' section for playing at a
Y. NJ. G. A. entertainment. Their
presence at such an entertainment,
the Turner's say, is an encouragement
of Y. NJ. G. A. views. The Freethinker
is not a very freethinker who cannot
tolerate the views of Others who do
not agree with him.

Newspaper Connection,

Our only competitor devoted quite
a long editorial yesterday to likenihg
itself to the Brooklyn Eagle, a paper
to which it bears about as much re-
semblance as a kite does to the bird of
liberty. 1t is true there are points of
resemblance. The Eagle is a heavy,
old-fashioned blanket sheet, with
fifty years accumulation of business,
and fifty years accumulation of cob
webs; it has an old obstinate hum
drum circle Of readers who stick to it
for the sake of what it was, or because
they do not know of the things that
modern times have produced.
Yes, there are points of resemblance
between the Eagle and our only COM
petitor. But in its age the Eagle is
not feeble, cranky nor venal. 1t has
a party and stands by it. Its opinions
and its columns are not for sale, and
it has a vigor and strength which
promise an era of regeneration when
it will spring into new life and useful
ness.
It is the misfortune of the Eagle
that, like our only competitor, it has
had no serious competition in its field.
1t needs something to wake 1t up, and
we believe that it can wake up in
earnest when it tries. But. monopoly
is the curse of newspapers as of every
other form of human enterprise.

A Swindler's Suit of Clothes.

An ingenious swindle was recently
worked successfully upon a Chestnut
street druggist and a Chestnut street
tailor. The criminal was a young man
of intelligent address. whose somewhat
shabby clothes were brushed clean and
his boots polished. Entering the phar-
macy he Informed the proprietor that
the tailor. whose name he gave, was
suffering with dyspepsia, and requested
that some medicine be sent to him. The
druggist ordered a prescription, and
while it was being compounded entered
into Il chat with the stranger, who paid
for the bottle of medicine, and, before
taking it away, asked the druggist to
have another vial ready, and said that
the tailor would call for it in a day or
two. Then the swindler went to the
tailor and ordered q suit Of clothes, the
price of which was fifty dollars. He
wanted the garments made up in a
hurry. and they were ready for him in
two days afterward. He put them on
in the store and left his back number
suit to be sent to o fictitious address.
"My friend" he said to the tailor (giv-
ing the name of the druggist "has some
money of mine, and if you will walk
down there I will pay you your bill. I"
The tailor and the artful dodger reached
the pharmacy. II perceive that W. are
all acquainted" the swindler said as
they shook hands. "Now," he con-
tinued, speaking to the druggist, ''give
MI. - what I left for him and excuse
me for a moment" With that he
slipped out OF q side entrance, and the
druggist handed the tailor a vial
wrapped in the customary white paper.
"What do Iwant with this?" asked the
s~artorial artist. :'That," responded the
master of the pharmacopeia, sis what
your friend said you were to get here"
"Not at ALL" the tailor calculated. II
understood that you have the cash for
the clothes which he got from me.
They stared each other in the face for

A Strange Genius.

On a farm some ten miles from Madi-
son, Ind, there lives a man, "a youth
to fortune and to fame unknown" but
nevertheless possessed Of extraordinary
powers.
James Norville, for that is his name,
vas born in 1897 at Sydney, New South
Wales. His mother was born in Jeru-
salem and his father at Tangier, Africa
At an early age he boarded a training
ship-the Aspinwall-at Greenwich,
where he remained for three years, dur
ing which time he was taught to read
and write English and German. This
was all the schooling he ever had, ex-
cept a short course in a night school at
Alexandria, Africa. Later On in his
eyentful career he spent seventeen
years on the Peninsular and Oriental
Line as midshipman, sailing from Liver
pool via Queenstown to Calcutta. When
on the Indian Ocean during the darkest
night he could calculate the distance
which a storm had driven his ship and
the latitude in which he was sailing
within five seconds of the exact position.
His travelling has been extensive and
his experience most varied. He was
with the Twenty-second Highlanaers at
the rescue OF Lnglow and was on the
ship Crocodile at the siege OF Sebasto-
pol. He passed through our Civil War
serving in the Tenth Missouri Cavalry.
He carries two MIME balls III his body,
and part Of his skull was shot away,
paralysis resulting %therefrom, and caus-
ing the lid of one eye to be useless.
MI. Neville is also an able linguist,
being acquainted with Arab, Turkish,
Persian, Sanscrit and Hebrew, and
speaks German. Italian, French and
Spanish. At one time he taught the
children Of the English soldiers at ALA
habad, and while there learned Sanscrit
from the priests.
The most wonderful thing relative to
this mai is his ~retentiye memory. He
can recite the Koran anu the Talmud
verbatim, aud also Green's History Of
England and Frost's History of the
United States. He recently recited an
article from a newspaperof April 10,
1856, never having read it since that
time. He is a very ordinary looking
man, of whom his a%eighbors know but
little, nor are they able to become ia
miliar with him.-Er.

Satisfied with His COrns.

He was q stout man with q red face,
and his general air indicated that he was
in possession of a fair amount Of liquor.
He tidgeted about on his seat in an
elevated railroad car, and inspected
the passengers as though he must talk
or burst. At length he leaned over to a
timid man, who sat next, and said:
did you ever have corns?"
"No." said the timid young man,
blushing.
Haven't got any,"
"No."
"Bunions?"
mo"
LET me see your foot" said the big
man imperiously, waving the butt of a
cigarl toward his unfortunate neighbours
extremities.
The young man reluctantly advanced
one foot into the range of inspection.
"What makes it three-cornered?
asked the large man.
Il am sure I don't know" murmured
the owner, growing more and more
confused.
"Well, young man." said the other,
with all the scorn obtair able from
much liquor, Give got four corns and
two good live bunions, but I'd rather
have more'n that, than have them two
fat-iron feet Of yours CROWN on me-

what shall 1 say?" she murmured,
timidly raising her soft eyes to his
face.
Tell me that you love me-"
Sweeter than the fall of musical cas-
cades through groves Of tropic bloom
softer than the thrill Of nightingales
in Persian valleys, the three charmed
words touched on his ear, and he knew
that she was his-his forever.
The courtship is drawing to a close
now; the white satin dress is finished,
and the wedding cake is iced to a fault
less perfection, and the white roses are
in bud that shall soon be woven into
bridal bouquets; but Nalentin is ex-
tremely sensitive on the subject of
cashmere shawls and twilight conf
dence. And Katy Mordaunt-saucy
little elf that size is-declares that Miss
Valentin Bruce took advantage of its
being Leap Year to confide her true
sentiments to the dark-haired lover
whom she delighted to torment.
