characterization of Bather and Its Sem
sational Result.
William A. HOLSTER of Troy is stopping
at DR.. Starks hotel, in Ocean Grove, and is
attending the services of the camp-meeting
association with several scratches on his
face. Last week Mr.. Hollister took his
first ocean bath. He was with party of
friends, and he thought the bathing far
surpassed plunge in the waters of his
native place. He dived and swan. stood on
his head and cut UP other antics in the
water. Suddenly the idea struck him that
he could create sensation by playing shark
with one of his friends. When the next
big roller came in Mr.. Hollister took a
header through it and seIzed what he
thought was one of his friends legs. The leg
was wrenched from his grasp and he came up
to enjoy his sensation. He did not enjoy 1t
SO much as his friends did. He had miscal-
culated the force of his surf when ne made
his header. and instead of grasping the leg
of one of his chums he had seized the shape
ly limb Il pretty young woman. AS he
came to the top of the water the young wO-
man was ready to meet him. Mr.. HOLSTERS
smile turned to look of horror and he be-
gan uttering profuse apologies. The pretty
young woman was muscular and she was
frantic with indignation. She paid no at
tention to Mr.. HOLSTERS apologies, but
dashing at him seized him by the hair and
began scratching his face. The next breaker
upset Mr.. HOLSTER and'his charming assail-
ant, and the latter was compelled to release
her hold. Mr.. HOLSTER made break for
the beach, where he was met by some of his
friends. DR.. Nichols fixed up the cuts on
his face. He has not been in the surf since.

LANDED ON HIS HEAD.
Serious Results Of a Mans Leap
From a Train.

With his clothes covered with blood that
flowed from four jagged scalp wounds,
Henry Cavallo, young Italian, was car
ried into the Receiving Hospital yesterday
afternoon. Young Cavailo had been on a
prolonged spree and finally concluded that
the sea breezes of the Cliff House would act
as bracer. So he boarded a Park and
Ocean train about o'clock yesterday and
started for the seaside When the train
was out half a mile from the depot he
changed his mind and jumped off. Before
striking the sand he turned two or three
sOmersaults and then slid along for several
yards on his head. That is how he received
the ugly scalp wounds.
AT the hospital CavallO was still so hilari-
Gus that 1t required four men to hold him on
the operating cot while Assistant Police
SGrgeon Berry patched up the torn scalp.
Afterward CaYallo's hands were strapped TO
prevent him from tearing the baudageS

Michigan Aeronaut Instantly Killed by

The number of aeronauts who recently
lost their lives is unprecedented. The death
of Jack" Hogan, who fell 2500 feet from
balloon at the Detroit Exposition grounds,
was, however, attended by more than usu-
ally revolving features.
Hogan, who is said TO have been slightly
intoxicated, started the ascent just after
o'clock in the presence of 10000 people, in
tending to descend by means of the para
chute attached to the balloon. In leaving
the ground, however, he chung from the
trapeZe-bar instead of seating himself on it.
and when he had gone up 800 or 400 feet he
tried in vain to raise himself to a sitting po-
sition and to draw the bar attached to the
parachute TO him.
The great throng below him breathlessly
watched the mans endeavors to raise him.
self, and shuddered as he rose higher and
higher and was still unable 10 get the para
chute-bar within reach. Finally, at a height
of 2500 feet, Hogan became exhausted and
released his hold from the bar.
Downward he shot with frightful velocity,
while cries of horror arose from the great
throng beneath. Women tainted by the
score, and the faces of strong men blanched
Halfway to the earth Hogan's limbs began
to work convulsively, and his body, de-
scending faster every instant, turned sew
eral somersaults. He struck sidewalk a
quarter-mile from where he went up, and
two two-inch planks and the sleepers be-
meath them were broken and splintered
Blood spurted fifty feet from the corpse,
every bone in his body was broken, and his
head was mashed beyond recognition.
Physicians who examined the body say
that the man was undoubtedly dead before
he struck the earth. His wife witnessed the
fall and tainted dead away.

CHRIST AT THE FEAST.
The Interesting Lesson Discussed by NJ


The Interesting Lesson Discussed by Mrs.
COoper's Bible Glass.
A large number of ladies and gentlemen
took part in the discussion of the lesson in
the Bible-class of Mrs. Cooper yesterday.
Christ was attending the feast at Jerusalem
and teaching the people. They desired him
TO perform more miracles. His argument
was: IF ye cannot believe me, believe me
for the works sake. But blessed are they
who, not having seen, believe" The de-
sire for external demonstration" said Mrs.
Cooper, belongs to the first stages OF
progress. The strongest evidence of spir-
itual truth is internal evidence. Spiritual
truth is self-ceTtifying to those who are in
filial relations to God. to those who obey
him. Obedience is tho principle of spirit
ual disclosure. If we do his will, we learn
the doctrine"
The last part of the lesson was mainly de-
voted to the verse: Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst let him come
unto Inc and drink" | am glad, said the
teacher. that Jesus said III any man'-nOt
merely the high, tue gifted, the rich, the
learned, the influential, the leaders, but the
lowly, the poor, tile obscure, the weary, the
heayy-laden. This invitation is not con-
fined 10 the first families, the exclusive 400.
a matter of fact very few of the rulers
were among Christs followers. 1t was
"the common people who heard him gladly"
Every great upward movement has been a
movement from below. 1t is sad and sug-
geStlye fact that the men who rejected and
cTucnSd Jesus were Teputed to be the best
men, the leading men, the teachers of the
nation. Prejudice blinds US all. The
mind of bigut is like the pupil OF the eye,
the more light you throw on it the more il
contracts" Tie more spiritual our religion
is tie more expansive and broad it will be.
HE more We really possess truth the more
eager we shall be to share it with others.
Spiritual instincts and lOngings are better
guides TO Jesus than mere head knowledge.
Following Jesus personally is our great
business Thus following him, we shall
live as seeing him who is invisible.

THAT GAS PATENT.
Some Very Serious Charges Regarding a

Some Very Serious Charges Regarding n
Theft of Ideas.
Messrs. Wall, Bishop and Jones, who stole
a march on the orange-growers of California
by having the hydrocyanic acid gas treat
ment for scale insects patented after Gov
eminent experts had perfected the process,
have won fer themselves a most unenYiable
reputation. Now that the patents are
secured they do not even claim priority of
ideas, but the basis of defense is that they
have the patents, and that it will be cheaper
for the Orange-growers to pay the price
asked, $4,000, than to fight them in the
courts" San Diego, San Bernardino and
Los Angeles counties have signifed their
willingness to pay their pro rata share of the
$4,000, but the other counties interested
show no indication of compromising. The
California Fruit-GrOwer has coutended all
along that the patentees hypothecated the
discovery upon which the patents are based
and have no right to any emoluments, and
if the growers would combine and test the
case the patents would not stand. Our posi-
tiOn is backed up by communication to
the Scientific American by Professor G. V.
Riley, United States EntOmOlOgist at Wash
ingtOn, in which all the facts are carefully
