A number of gentlemen gathered In
Union Hall, Norwood, last evening, to
consider the feasibility of buildinga new
school house. ID. NJ. Lufkin called the
meeting to order, and n 4. Getzler was
elected chairman for the evening. Mr..
Whitney was the first to speak on the
subject and he said that a very feasible
plan had occurred to him, and that was to
raise the old building one story, and to
build on for Railways and stairs, and he
saw no reason why that could not be done
at a small expense, and still supply suffi-
cient room for the school for number of
years to come. Messrs Macomber. Bud
long, Lufkin and Hathaway all spoke on
the subject, and they thought that a new
house centrally located was what the vii
lage demanded. On motion Of Mr.. Luf-
kins the meeting adjourned.

the jury arrived at in the Cornell trial.
Cornell is now under bail until the next
term of the court, when the case will
probably be tried over again. The jury
stood FOR conviction and for aequittal.
Most of the inhabitants of the town who
have followed the case were not surprised
at the result, as it has been common talk
upon the streets during the week that the
jury would in all probability disagree.

ROYAL RELICS.
Reminiscence of Joseph BOnaparte's
Residence in America.

A RemIniscence of Joseph Bonaparte's
Residence in America.
The death of the old Scotch gardener
of Joseph Bonaparte at Bordentown
the other day serves to recall the impe-
rial glories of the Bonaparte residence
on the outskirts of that little city. The
place now is divided up into smaller
tracts for the purposes of an age of
progress and business, but hardly
more than twenty years ago it was re.
plete with the memories and peculiari-
ties of its royal founder 1t was in 1915
that Joseph Bonaparte arrived here a
fugitive from the allied powers of Eu-
rope. He came as the Count de Survil-
liers, and was accompanied by Prince
Lucien Murat M. Maillard who acted
as his secretary, and one or two other
gentlemen of his regal staff. He was
then dominated with the idea that there
was no place so secret as to be safe
for him. He expected at any time
that allied men-of-war might sail up
the Hudson or the Delaware and seize
him. He was essentially timid, and he
! declined any but the most modest re-
ceptions rendered him by New York
city, which felt fully the honor of a
royal presence in her precincts. II was
guided by this timiuity largely that he
made for himself this home at Borden
town. The tract of land he bought
there contained l,sO) acres, aud
he laid it out in parks ram
bles, rustic bridges, lakes drives,
gravelled walks, thicl5ly foliagsd
arbors, and miniature cascades turning
miniature water wheels lie embel-
lished it also with statuary, but the
strangest part OF the park consisted in
his devices for safety from the always
possible coming Of his allied foes. He
built high tower on one of his highest
knolls, in the midst of the thickest foli-
age, and from the upper niche of this
tower he was wont daily TO scan the

SAYS The GUARDS DID Right.
Warden Brown of Sing Sing Justifes the
Shooting of the Convicts.

Shooting OF the ConVicts'
SING SING, N. Y. Aug. 24-The ex-
citement over the shooting of Convict
Charles f. Vincent, who was killed, and
the wounding of Convict Welsh, while
they were trying to escape, has entirely
subsided. Vincent's body, not being
claimed by his friends, has been buried in
the prison cemetery.
Welsh is in the hospital under the care
of Prison Surgeon Irvine. The bullet
wound in his thigh is not considered
serious. He will be placed in a dark cell
on fare of bread and water for a certain
period and will also lose all his good tims
which would have been taken off his sem
tence for good behavior.
Keeper Solomon Post, who had such =
desperate encounter with Convict Vim
cent before the latter was shot, is laid up
with badly lacerated hand. One of his
fingers was almost bitten off by the con-
vict, and there is danger of blood pois-
oning.
Warden Brown says that he has made a
thorough investigation of the whole affair
and is satisfied that his keepers who took
part in the fight with the convicts did
only their plain duty in shooting them
down.

THE PUZZLED SHARPER.


A TriclSster who was Beaten at His owu
Game.
After awhile the young man with
the white hat and red necktie observed
that friend of his in Chicago had
posted him on a new trick, and he took
from his pocket the shell of an English
walnut which had been cut in two to
make two small cups He also took
from his vest pocket common field
pea, and exp aimed:
'I don't say that / can do the trick
successfully, but after a little more
practice hope to catch on"
Half dozen of us exchanged wtnls
and spotted him at once for sharper,
but there was a middle-aged man from
Indianapolis who appeared innocently
interested. He was not a green-look-
ing man by any means-but he had
confiding, childish look which would
have authorized any stranger to ask
him for match or the time Of day.
"What is the trickP" he asked as he
laid aside his paper.
"Why, it's to manipulate this pea in
this way-so and so-and this way, un-
til you can't tell which cup it's under,"
explained the other.
"That's a new idea" ss1ssssll sIs1as
eyes, perfectly new"
"Sayl I'd like to learn that myself" 4"
continued the Hoosier. THE boys
down our way are full of tricks, and
I'd like to get something to astonish
wrist doesn't itP"
''Partly that and partly optical illu-
sion. As told you before can't work
it yet, be cause 1 haven't practiced suf-
fciently, but do you think you could
tell which cup the pea is under now?''
Il think could" replied Hoosier
"And could you now?' asked the
young man after further manipula-
tions.
'T'm sure of it" ,8;szga:;;:; zEggSSs.:,
"How sure?"
swell, as want to learn the trick,
and as am always willing to back my
own eyes, I'll bet $40 1 can"
We winked and shook our heads al
him, but his smile only grew more
child-like.
Don't want to make it $40, do youP"
asked the sharper.
| ''Td Just as soon say $780,"
Thirty it is Just hold the cups
firmly down on my knees while gel
out my sugar"
1t took his last dollar, and when il
was up he asked;
(Which cup is it under2"
''This one"
The cup was raised, and there, SURF
enough, was the pea, 1t having failed
to stick to the substance inside and be
lifted with the shell. The look which
came into that young mans face wal
something queer to see, and he KEEP
swallowing as if he had ta ks in his
throat He gave up the stakes without
word, but sat for long time like one
in dream. thought he needed sym.
pathy, and after a while I found oppor
tunity to inquire:
''How did it happen that wayP"
That's what l want to find out, A" h,
absently replied Say, you child-lik,
Hoosier, take these things and Sc,
what you can do with 'em."
Certainly, to oblige."
He took the cups and the pea, ant

enough to show every body in ten sec
onds that he was an old professional

A Bullet for the Man Who Served HIN
Mule Meat for Beef.

Mule Meat for Beef.
[From the ST. Louis Republicl
1t was gentleman like Mr. Jim of whom
heard this fascinating story, and which
for grim humor cannot be surpassed. Nor
can Mr.. Jim, for 30 shall have to call him,
be blamed for avenging himself for the
trick that was played upon his taste and
gastronomic Judgment.
One of the bright spots on the Colorado
desert is Dos Palmas. 1t Is few miles to
the north of Salton and on the old Arizona
stage road. 1t is truly an enchanting
place, for here q spring bubbles up, and
its waters spreading have caused q rich
dark grass to grow, and palm trees of 81
gsntic height spread out their beautiful
fan-shaped leaves. Close to the marsh was
a stage house, where rest and food were
sold for both man and beast. The remains
of the adobe could have been seen year
ago, but am told the heavy rains of last
winter entirely swept away tie vestiges Of
this momento of prerailroad days.
Mine host of the time write WAS q wag,
though his humor was not of that quality
which endeared him to men. The fare he
furnished was even ruder than his wit, but
what he lacked in richness of mentality he
made up in his charges, which compared
favorably with the terrific demands Of the
modern railroad eating house. 1t was q
for only by this route was Arizona secessi-
BILE. and as many mines were being worked
in the territory the wag was never idle.
One day, so the story runs, Jim stopped
at the stage house for dinner, and his eyes
were gladdened, and 30 was his appetite,
by the sight aud taste of fresh meat. Jim
ate heartily and praised the f,esh with the
air of a connoisseur. He asked for several
relays of tender cut, and with many an
oath declared that never had he tasted such
delicate beef The host, too, was pleased,
and charged him exorbitantly for the feast.
On the way to the river Jim repeatedly
referred to the gorgeous meal, and wound
up his remarks with many an enconium on
the hberality of the stsge-nouse proprietor.
There WAS, however, one in the outfit who
did not share Jim's admiring views, and
finally remarked:
"D'ye know what you eat back tharf"
throwing his thumb over his shoulder and
indicating the position Of Dos Palmas.
"Beef," was the laconio rejoinder.
'"Taint nuthin' of the kind. That was
An old mule what dropped dead, an he sed
yer outfit d eat 1t and think it was beef. "
A laugh went MP at Jlm's expense.
care ye tellin' straight goodsf' inquired
Jim anxiously.
He was assured on that point.
Jim left the campfire, ressddled his
burro and rode straight for Dos Palmss.
The proprietor was at the door.
'Did you give me mule meat this after
noon to eatt Tell the truth, now.n
The host faltered out that he was short
of provisions and had been compelled to
dress up the defunct mule, but he was sor-
~, etc.
BE fell dead In the doorway with two
bullets In his body.
Jim rejoined the company and inciden-
tally remarked that he guessed there would
be no more mule meat sold for beef at Dos
Palmas
