Circus Performers Strand ed.

Circus Performers Stranded.
A party of professional acrobats, who
until recently performed in Wasburn &
Arlington's Circus, are stranded in Bor-
dentown, When the show arrived there
the performers were owed several weeks
salary. The acrobats refused to perform
unless they got their pay, and the mem
bers of the band also struck, so that the
show was completely crippled.
The bandmaster got an attachment
against some of the property of the show
and railroad car, which belonged to the
show, was seized by a Deputy Sheriff.
Washburn, who is supposed to be the
principal owner, gave bonds in the sum
of 5000 to liquidate the claims against the
show. The circus moved on to some
neighboring town but the acrobats refused
to 60 with the show. The acrobats are
endeavoring to raise funds TO enable them
to return to their homes.

Rev. James Rogers, pastor of the First
Nj. e. Church, of Salem, is getting quite a
reputation as sensatIonalist. AT the
last session of the M. +. Conference Mr..
Rogers stirred the brethren by stating
upon the floor OF tho Conference that
"both political parties were as rotten as
helll' On a recent Sunday evening he
declared from the pulpit that "any minis
ter who refused TO preach prohibition
from his pulpit, refused to do so either
through ignorance, or because no was
bought by the rum party" and that 'any
church member who votes either Re-
publican or Democratic ticket is white
washed hypocrite.n A local paper, hav-

One day we had what was perhaps O
practical illustration of the hghtship's
usefulness. 1t was hazy morning, and
the mate was scanning the horizon with
his glass. Bringing it to bear to the
southwark, he held 1t long in that direc-
ton, while look of anxiety came over
his face. Several of the crew Joined him,
and finally one of them said, "If she
keeps that course five minutes longer
she'll be on the shoal." Through the
haze large three masted schooner was
discernible, heading directly for q reef
to the southwest of US.
She was evidently looking for the
lightship, but the haze had prevented
her from sighting us, although our sharp
lookout had had his glass on her for
some time. Then, too, as the mate re-
marked, with slightly critical smile,
"These captains feel so sure of their
course that they always expect to raise
us straight ahead" Suddenly there was
evidence that she had sighted us.
She swung around as swiftly as If she
were turning upon pivot. She had
been lunging along in an uncertain way,
but the sight of us seemed to fill her with
new life and buoyancy. Her sails filed,
she dashed through the waves with
streaks of white streaming along each
quarter like foam ON the TANKS of race
horse, and on she came, fairly quivering
with joy from keel to pennant.
Such instances are Of almost daily oc-
currence, and IL we add to them the oc-
casions-and they must run far up into
the hundreds, If not into the thousands
when the warning voice of the fog bell
and the guiding CLEAN of the lamps have
saved vessels from shipwreck, 1t seems
as though the sailor must look upon the
South Shoal lightship as one of the
guardian angels of the deep.-Gustav
Kobbe in Century.

Herman Hoffer, German boy, six years
old, four feet in height, heavy set, with
a slight moustache, and who can lift a
weight of 200 pounds, was brought before
Judge Woodruff Tuesday morning. He
is very incorrigible and his parents ap-
piled to the Judge to have him sent to the
Reform School. A commitment was made
out and the boy sent there. He is said TO
be quite a phenomenon. DR.. Wetherill,
who had been called in, pronounced the
case most remarkable one.

A singular complaint comes from fire in
surance companies. 1t relates to large
losses in the farming districts on live
stock, due, as reported by the farmers, to
lightning in connection with barbed wire
fences. Most of the animals killed In this
way were near the wire fences at the time,
and 1t is supposed the metal stands act as
a conductor of electricity in degree
sufficient to largely increase the rjsks Of
such insurance.

About Peaches.
The extraordinary peach crop OF this
year has caused peach growers to do some
thinking. To make shipments of peaches
and receive notice from the dealer ask
ing for sum OF money to pay balance
due on freight for same, or to receive re-
turns which net only two and ons-half
cents per basket as has been done this
season, does not indicate the short and
rapid road 10 wealth that the peach in
dustry pointed toward year or more ago.
The experience Of the current season may
tend TO check the increase Of area devoted
to peach culture, and 1t may lead to more
thorough culture and the shipment OF only
really fine stock which Is equivalent of a
larger market. Many shipments of fruit
have returned only 16 to Is cents per
basket, while at the same time finer stock
sold at paying prices, which seems to
offer an indncement to thin the fruit on
the trees, allowing each tree to grow only
SO many as II can grow to foe size. A
little more than ordinary care is required
to produce strictly fine article in any
line and especially in fruit culture. Those
who give the necessary trouble and cul-
ture are the ones who will get the prizes
ready sales and fair prices-while those
who neglect will get left Htaaterdo,s
