a new social game consists q taking

title by picture, by . drawing O. ~

can be guessed from them. somewhat
aftar the manner Of rsbus. OF course
| the one who guesses correctly the great
est number Of titles takes the first prize.
There is also . second prize and q
'tbooby" prize
About thirty took part In the game !
saw. though the number could have
BEEN extended indefinitely. Fifty titles
had been selected by the hostess. and
their representations carefully prepared.
Each player having been provided with
| q paper ON which there were fifty blanks
for these titles, at signal we entered
the room where the objects and pictures
were displayed But it was no easy task
to solve all the puzzles before us Some
titles were known at once, others re-
NAMED unguessed to the end.
Among the objects and titles were
such as these:
A candle ON map Of Asia represented
'sThe Light of ASIA.
A large white cardboard with tiny
ON it was eve Two"
A picture of q mi1ldam and a white
bead ON the top Of the picture was
adam Bede."
A little ladder, with toy monkey on
the top round and toy man at the foot,
was "The Descent of Man"
The word Sin in red ink was ga Car
dinal Sin"
The sheet music Of yankee Doodle"
was American Notes"
An o half concealed in q bunch of
ferns was Inferno"
A toy donkey, an o, and some tea
leaves was Donkey-o-t-"Don Quixote
Some vocal music thrust through the
handles Of several keys was "Songs in
Many Keys"
A pie upon some ears of corn was
Pioneers"
A burned out candle in cand1estick
was 1.-THE Light That Failed"
Some dolls in ball costume, rouging
their faces before mirror, was mod
ern Painters"
Sonae half dollars, quarters and dimes
was 1.-The American Commonwealth.
And so the titles ran on, some difficult,
some causing much fun, and all inter-
esting.
The possibilities of this game are seen
at glance. With brightness and in
Renuitv many very puzzlin0 and amusino
effects can be worked up.
There are two good rules to be en-
forced. The time for guessing should be
limited, and communication while guess
ing strictly forbidden, else the first prize
is likely to go to some one who has been
assisted by the guesses Of others, and the
conscientious player has no chance.
Other adaptations of this game might
be to titles Of poems, quotations, etc.
But the best seems to be in titles of
standard or reasonably well known, not
obscure, books Christian Union. >

Even Corn Husks Arc Valuable.

The fates are combining to make
things pleasanter for the western farmer,
the latest discovery Of value to him be-
ing that the husks Of corn will make ex-
cellent paper. Hitherto husks have not
had any commercial value, and have
only been eaten by stock under protest
and during hard spells. Now, however,
the establishment Of paper mills In the
west should put q stop to the constant
shipping Of paper from the east, and
also convert waste article into what
manufacturers would call 'tresiduary
profit, " such as coke in gas factory. It
is not many years since old rags were
looked upon as the only possible raw
material for the manufacture Of paper.

COLONEL POTTER'S ARREST.

stamp was placed over this notice so that
the black lines showed through the

that the stamps had been washed he
could not tell whether the faint marks he
saw were cancellation marks or the heavy

So on November 2. when Colonel Potter
dropped three letters into the box, Post

that the stamps had been washed. He

WORK ON BROWN PLACE
Bergen Neck Started in on the Job
Sunday Morning.

The Bergen Neck Railway began work
yesterday upon the arch bridge at Brown
place, Greenville. This move was made
oy the railroad in order to de-
feat the plans of the Greenville
citizens who have petitioned the Street
and Water Commissioners to declare the
street legal thoroughfare. It was ex-
pected that the petition would be
acted upon by the com mmissioners
today, but as the commissioners
failed to meet it is very likely
that the Greenville citizeus' petition will
be pigeon hoied for some time and by the
time that 1t Is acted upon by the commits
siouers the arch will have been completed.
The citizens when they heard that the
railroad had taken this means to defeat
them were mad, to say the least, and an
Indignation meeting will probably be
held In few days.
One citizen in speaking about the
matter said. "The Street and Wafer Com
missioners have shown that their In
terest IN the railroad company Is greater
than their interest Ia Greenville. They say
that the reason they did not meet this
morning Is because there was no busi-
ness to transact. think that this matter
is important enough to warrant their call
ing a meeting and my opinion OF the
whole affair is that the Commissioners
care more about the railroad company
than Greenville. Our petition is in their
hands now, and i think that action
should be taken at once"
Commissioner Dugan, when spoken to
about the matter said:--"I do not see how
the Street and Water Board can inter-
fere, We have given the railroad per-
mission to cross, and that settles it,"
The protest of the Greenvillites will 90
for naught. The railroad now has pos
session of thirth feet of city property and
there is no fear that the Street and Water
Commissioners will not object. The city
loses thirty feet of Brown place
by this deal, aud have not
The Greenville citizens will not give
up the fight, however, and the iudica-
tions are that there will be a lively time
between them aud the Street and Water
Commissioners.

QUARRELED OVER DICE
Runyan Was Beaten and Barry
Was Shot--A Doubtful Story.

Several Hoboken sports" had street
fracas early yesterday morning when
good people were preparing to 70 ~
church, as q result of which one young
man is locked up in the police Station
with bullet in his arm and another Il In
q critical condition at st. Mary's Hos
pital, also under arrest.
Richard Barry, formerly engineer A.
the City Hall, was shot. and Chris Rum
yam, a bartender. used the revolver. The
latter was badly beaten either before Or
after the pistol shot, and his injuries are
considered serious.
1t appears that Barry, Runyan and sev-
eral others were throwing dice tor money
in Bartmann's saloon, at First and WASH
ington streets. Runyan won consider-
able money, and was accused OF cheating.
About six O'Clock the youths left the sa-
LOOM Barry said that he was going TO 9
restaurant a few blocks away to get some
thing to eat. Runyan said ''I'll be with
YOU that far as I'm going home, but let us
have drink before we go any further"
WHAT BARRY SAYS ABOUT IT.
The following is Barry's story OF what
trauspired thereafter:
when we reached Con Donovan's COR
ner. Runyan said that he would be leav-
ing US, as he lived at No 10 Newark street.
With that, a young fellow whom know
we'll by sight but not by name, hit Rum
yan smash nash In In. the he face: said to sns
hit man like that This fellow who
struck the blow was heavy loser at the
dice and accused Runyan OF cheating.
When Runvan got hit he staggered, and
then said, Tll fix you for that He ran
into the house and 1 walked over into the
alley. then walked up Newark street
to Washington street, and we were in
front of the City Hall, about to cross over
to Bartmann's, when l happened to turn
my head and saw Runyan coming with q
pistol In his hand. l shouted and threw
up my right arm to knock the pistol out
of his hand. Then 1 heard the shot, and
felt pain in my arm. Igrabbed Hunyan
and we fell together. l was on Top and
kept him down so that he could not pull
again. / did nothing to him nor did see
him struck more than once"
Roundsman Cross and Doorman Breens
who were in the police station, heard the
shot, and when they ran around the cor
ner Barry and RnnYan were lying few
feet from each other on the car track.
The rest of the gang had fed, Ths
wounded men were carried into the
police station. and City Physician Simon
was summoned. He found that Runyan
was seriously injured about the RIBS
chest and back, aud probably suffering
internally. His pain was so great thaS
he could not make Il statemenI. he was
Immediately removed to the hospital.
DR. Simon found that the bullet had
entered Barry's arm just below the
shoulder, and as it was not serious he
was made prisoner. The doctor WAS
| unable TO locate the bullet.
Captain Hayes saws that he has wit
nesses who tell different story from
Barry They say that Run:an was at

| Captain says that he does not know the
