A woman little known to anybody in
the past twenty years died in New York
the other day. Her name was Kate Fox
Jeneken. Few will know anything
from this announcement. Yet forty-five
years ago this woman, then little girl,
living with her family in little house
near Rochester, N. Y, was one of two
sisters who made the Rochester knock
ings" famous through the world, thus
founding or discovering modern spirit
ualism, which now numbers not less
than million believers.

Canada's Conquest Of New England.
When France yielded up Canada to
England in 1868 there were only $4,000
people Of French descent in the prov
inces. At present, out of Canada's
100000 inhabitants, 100000 are of
this race. Besides the American French
in the Dominion, 100000 of them have
poured over the border into the United
States, chiefly settling the factory dis
tricts of New England. That makes the
total number of the French Canadian
race 100000. That is to say, there are
nearly SS1a times as many as there were
in 1853. 1t is not the fault of the French
branch that the population of Canada is
small. The number of children among
them to family ranges all the way
from twenty-three down.
The point of interest which touches
the United States in this remarkable
capacity of French Canadians to in
crease their families is the fact that SO
many Of the children cross into the
States to seek their fortunes The time
seems not far distant when portions Of
the United States may be called New
Canada, as the whole country has al
ready been dubbed New Ireland. New
England at present contains half a mil
lion French Canadians. They are
g her most docile, dexterous and in
ious workers. Moreover, among
they own in the States over $780,
20 worth of property.
ey turn into American citizens rap
.u.y and form patriotic attachment to
the Union. A curious fact about them
is that while in Canada the French
have fought desperately for their Ian.
guage and insisted on its retention in
school and in government documents
in America the younger ones take pride
in at once acquiring English and using
It constantly. The children are as eager
to drop French and speak English only
as those of German parents are to aban
don the tongue of the fatherland. I'm
doubtedly the powerful tie of kinshit
that more and more binds French Can
ada to the Union will have its influence
when the question of political annexa
ton comes up.

Woman WHO Is Respected.

"Eere's something rather novel and
amusing in the way of business ar
rangement,' said the man on the corner
to the other man. Our firm has a
travelling man whose wife is what is
commonly termed terror. She regu-
lates her husband in every particular,
draws his salary and doles it out to him,
comes in and raises Sancho with the
house if he is out too long, and makes
herself generally obnoxious. All the
men in the Office are afraid of her, and
you would laugh to sec them all scatter
off and get very busy when she appears.
"Well, sir, this year the firm wanted
to cut that drummer's salary sdown, and
how DO you think they did it? They
knew his wife would make things lively
if she knew his salary was decreased. so
they fixed it up between them that his
pay was to be reduced, but that his wife
should draw the old amount, and that as
the drummer has little bank account
he would make matters square with the
firm at the end of the year. How's that
for terrorizing ability-one little $50
pound woman holding under her thumb
her husband and a whole firm besides"

An Eel Asleep in Crabs Embrace

Eels havcno yet fully awakened from
their winter sleep in the Hackensacll
river, and on cold days many are
spca-ed il the mud and brought to the
surface III a torpid condition. Crabs,
which abound in the Same stream, are
likewise lcngthenins their Information.
Lawrence Bryant, the son of Hackcn-
sack blacksmith, speared a large eel
near the Jail, and when he landed the fish
he was very much astonishcd to find that
he had captured a big crab also.
The crabs nippers were clutching the
eel and bending its body so that its head
nearly touched its tail. Crab and eel
were half asleep, and the latter did not
seem to be much hurt, its assailant hav-
ing apparently clutched it in a half
hearted way. Probably both creatures
selected the same alternating place, and
the crab was TOO drowsy to be very hun

serving manner. He arrested them on
suspicion. They had the three walnut
shells used in the pea" game, cards and
a roll of paper covered by 81 bill in a

Mayor Stanton has been offered the
Office of Sheriff by Governor Abbett and
Is at the Court House today in consul
tation with his friends.
1t is understood that the formal an.
po1ntment will not be made until after
Sheriff McPhiIlips' funeral-perhaps not
until Tuesday or Wednesday next,
There are rumors about the Cours
House that the Sheriff's office is in a
dreadful state of confusion or worse.
One story has it that no books have been
Kept and no one can tell Just where the
business stands. The late Sberiff,s
bondsmen held meeting last night. bur
nothing could be learned OF tn resu lis.
CHANGES IN HoBOKEN.
Inc acceptance by Mayor Stanton of
the ONCE OF Sheriff Will cause a mighty
big change in HobOkeu politics CoioneJ
Erlenkoetter will act as Mayor till the
spring election. and while 1t Is con-
ndently asserted he cannot then seeure
the Democratic nomination, yet he will
nave better chance than he now en-
joys.
Contingent on Mr.. Stanton,s accent-.
ance hangs the Port w Wardenship. II
stanton accepts James Laverty, who is
qualified in every sense for the position.
will be appointed Port Warden.
The police question is perhaps the most
perplexing. The new sub-statlon is now
completed and about ready for occu-
pancy. II has all along been thought
that Captain Hayes would be
put in charge there. But it is
asserted that new man will be ap-
pointed, and he, Patrick Hayden, at
present Police Commissioner
With Stanton out of city politics.
Lawrence Fagan will be the leader and
the candidate for Mayor in the spring.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
The funeral of the late Sheriff will be
held tomorrow. The family had decided
at first to hold the funeral on Saturday.
but the arrangements have since been
changed.
All day day yesterday the home of
the late Sheriff, No 76 Jones
street, was crowded with relatives
aud friends. The body was still in
the ice box. Its appearance was natural,
and the features of the dead man gave
no outward evidence of the suffering ne
had endured.t Tonight the body will be
placed in a handsome gold mounted
casket The funeral, no doubt. will be a
large one. The following gentlemen
will act as pall-bearers:-County Clerk
Dennis Mclaughlin; Surrogate James q.
O'Nell; Ex-SheriH Ferdinand Heintze;
Patrick Cogan. John Gehin; Carl
Ruempler and Counsellor William
Doughertv. The body will be taken from
the house at half-past nine o'clock to ST.
Joseph's- Roman Catholic Church when
Monsignor Seton will celebrate a solemn
high mass of requeim. The court con-
stables will meet at the Court House at
nine O'Clock and proceed to the house in
body. In all probability Court will be
adjourned. At the meeting of the Free
holders tonight it is likely that the Free
holders will decide TO attend the funeral
in a body.
