1t Is a mistake TO suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as rule. increase the
feverish condition Of the mouth and
stomach and 50 create thirst. Experience
shows it to De a fact that hot drinks re-
lieve the thirst and ''cool OFF, the body
better than ice cold drinks. 1t is far
better and safer to avoid the use Of
drinks below 80 degrees; in fact, a higher
temperature Is TO be preferred, and those
who are not much troubled with thirst
will do well to try the advantages 10 be
derived from hot drinks, instead Of cold
fluids to which they have been accus-
toned, advises "The Bakers Helper -
Hot drinks also have the advantage of
aiding digestion, instead of causing
debility of the stomach and bowels.

TRENTON, Aug. 4, 1S9l.-Enoch Tindall,
a wealthy farmer of Hamilton Square
drowned himself in novel fashion yester-
day. His life might have been saved had
not two boys lost their wits, but as Tin
dali was insane it is probable that even in
that event his death would only have
been postponed. There is a small stream
running in front of Mr.. Tindall's house,
over which bridge has been erected.
The lads were crossing the bridge when
they saw rope tied to the railing. Boy
like they stopped to investigate. The y
pulled on the rope and were Mortified TO
find Mr. Tindall's body dangling at the
end of it, He was not dead, the boys say,
but they were SO frightened that they let
60 the rope and the body fell back into
the water. They gave an alarm, but
when members of Mr.. Tindalps family
reached the scene he was dead. He had
tied the rope around his waist ana fasten-
ed the other end to the bridge, probably
to prevent his body from drifting away.

Intimadons of That Sort In the Strong
Mack Case.

The examination of the charges
preferred by Selo C. Strong
against Dennis Mccarthy. alias
"D aniel Mack" and Mrs. Strong
was again postponed this morning, this
time until Satu rday. Counsellor r. S.
Hudspeth appeared 70 r Strong aud Nor
man L. Rowe for the defendants.
Mr.. Rowe produced tele-
gram from "Daniel Mack"
stating that Mrs. Strong was unable to
appear, as she was very i'll, and asked
that the examination be postponed few
days. He claims he is anxious for the
examination, as he intends to make it
pretty warm for Mr.. Strong. Mr..
Strong was on hand bright and early, and
he, too. appeared anxious for hearing.
Counsellor Hudspeth said he was in pos
session of facts TO warrant him
in the belief that the defendants were ac-
lively preparing for flight. The
bonds under which both are held
are said to hold good for
their appearance before The Grand Jury;
but the general impression is that the
couple intend torfeiting their bonds.

Mr.. Conrad N. Jordan is a resident

a Judgment Of 800 has been entered
up against him in the New York
Supreme Court because he declined
to acknowledge the eathority Of the
New York Jury Commissioner, as ex-
pressed in a subpoena
This is a gross outrage on Mr. Jor-
dams personal rights, and also upon
the dignity of New Jersey, whose
citizens are certainly entitled to be
treated with justice in the courts OF
New York. When MI. Jordan re-
ceiyed the summons Of the Jury Com
