THE FIVE OBEDIENT HUS
BANDS.

There were five of them, together,
and it was late. They had been drink
ing. Finally one of them looked Al
the clock and said:
What will our wives say when we
come home?"
Let tkem say what they want to.
Mine will tell me to go to the mischief,
responded No. 2.
III tell you what we will do. Let
us meet here again in the morning
and tell our experiences. Let the one
who has refused to do what his wife
told him to do when he got home. pay
for this evenings entertainment"
That's a good idea. We will agree
to that"
SO the party broke up and went to
their ,espective homes.
Next morning they met at the ap-
pointed place and began to tell their
experience.
Said No 1:
"When I opened the door my wife
was awake. She said: "a pretty
time of night for you to be coming
home You had better go out and
sleep III the pig pen, for that is what
you will come to, sooner or later, any
how Rather than pay for all we had
drunk last night, l did what she told
me to. That lets me out.
Next.
No. 2 cleared his throat and said:
when / got home, l stumbled on a
chair, and my wife called: There
you are again, you drunken brute!
You had better wake up the children,
and stagger for awhile, SO they can
see what drunken brute Of father
they are afflicted with | Thought the
best thing I could do under the Cir
cumstances was to obey; SO L woke up
the children and staggered around un-
til my wife hitted to me to stop. She
used a chair in conveying the hint.
That lets me out"
Next!
No. 3 spoke up and said:
Il happened TO stumble over pan
of dough, and my wife said: Drunk
again. Hadn't you better sit down
in that pan Of dongh!" SO l sat down
in it, and that lets me out
Next!
No. said:
Il was humming Il tune and my
wife called oat: There you are
again! Hadn't you better give Us a
concert?' | said, Certainly and be-
gan to sing as loud as | could, but
she told me to stop. or she would
throw something at me; SO | stopped.
That lets me out"
Next.
No. 5 looked very disconsolate. He
said
u reckon I'll have to pay. My wife
told me to do something none of you
would have done, if you had been III
my place"
What was it,"
She said: $50 you thought you
would come at last Nov, hadn't
you better go out to the well and
drink couple of buckets of water
just to give your stomach surprise !?
That was more than | bargained for
so it's my funeral"

nipples. Under these nipples, inside
her body, there are special glands in
which a kind of gum Is secreted. and
this dries when it comes into the air.
This gum forms a silken thread. from
which the spider builds her web. The

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 80. 1892. The
observers and crop correspondents of he
New Jersey Weather Service report for
the week ending Monday, July 25. that
the rainfall has been very unevenly dis
tributed (widely scattered showers). and
has been above the average in the follow
ing counties:--Cape May, Atlantic, Union.
Cumberland, Ocean and the northeast
ern portion of Somerset and Union. In
remaining districts it was below the
average, notably in Burlington, Bergen
Monmouth, Hunterdon and Gloucester.
The following are the amounts reported,
in inches: Cape May G. H., 800; Plain
field, 213; Somerville, LII; Tuckahoe,
1.50; Egg Harbor City, LIS; Toms River,
1.20; Bridgeton, 0.68; Gillette, 0.69; New
Brunswick, 0.45; Paterson, AZ; Rancocas,
0.03; Locktown, 0.06; Moorestown, O.O4,
and Tenafiy, 0.37. The average weekly
rainfall for the State for the month of
July. determined from long series of
observations, is 0.98 inch.
The temperature has been about, and
the sunshine above, the average, in all
the districts. These conditions haye
been most favorable Tor the harvesting O
oats, which is now near completion. Th 6
almost total absence of rainfall in BurI-
ington, Hunterdon, Monmouth and
Gloucester has seriously affected all
lands. 1t is thought that the yield of
the former will be reduced one-half,
while the latter ls badly dried up.
Grapes, which were reported to be in
such promising condition up to the
close of last week, are now badly affect
ed py black rot.
Professor Smith reports the melon
vines are backward in all localities, and
are setting light and late. The prospects
are for q short late crOD SnuaShes have
set no more than one-fourth of a crop and
are undersized. Borers are beginning to
be troublesome. Sweet potatoes are look
ing we'll everywhere.
Prof Halsted finds that the melon vines
are infested with fungous disease that
will materially shorten the crop. To.
mato plants in some places are attacked
by the Southern tomato blight and q

is suffering from a chill. He does not re-
ceive visitors. Unofficial statements of a
more serious nature are made in regard
to his condition..
When Mr.. Gladstone arrived in Loud on
he looked well and hearty, and his friends
felt assured that he would be able to take
the reins OF the Government with firm
hand. When it became Known today that
Mr.. Gladstone was suffering from chill,
there was general surprise and anxiety.
and the anxiety was increased wnen it
became known that visitors would not be
received.
Various stories are afloat as to the origin
of his illness. 1t was stated that last
evening, while talking with some friends,
ne staggered aud fell. He was at once
removed to lounge and soon afterward
retired to rest.
This morning his condition had not i'm

TOO GOOD A SWIMMER.
Fruit Stand Keeper Muce Drowned
at South Beach-A Pros

Nlcolaus Muce. for fourteen years pro-
prietor of the fruit store in the old Penn
sylvania office building in Exchange
Place, was drowned while bathing ar
South Beach yesterday afternoon. He
was t1fty-tive years old, and, notwith-
standing his age, was fearless swim

His wife was sitting upon the beach
admiringly watching him swimming q
magnificent stretch out beyond the crowd
OF less fearless bathers, and amid the
general piaudits.
Suddenly he disappeared and rose again.
Then he sank out Of sight and a moment
later the already startled wife was horri-
fed at the sight of the efforts on the part
of other bathers to reach him, while the
excited cry "He is drowning was
waited to her ears. A great crowd gath

effort possible was made to resuscitate
him, but without avail.
Muce was an Italian and came to this
country when about nineteen years OF
age. He was well known 70 all the en-
ployes of the PENNSYLVANIA Railway Com
pany as we'll as to many business men in
the vicinity of Exchange place. and to the
army of toilers who daily cross the ferries.
For years he has drawn good

at the store aud stand, are almost craZed
with grief at their loss. Muce had pur-
chased considerable real estate in Hobo

CARNEGIEISM'S COST.
Over a Million Wasted Already
Through the Homestead Lockout.

PITTsBURG, July 80, 1S91.-The grea c
lockout at Homestead is just one month
old, and has already cost over 100000,
besides the sacrifice of half score of
human lives and serious injuries to many
times that number. OF the loss in cash,
the military has cost in round figures
326,00O, the workmen have lost in wages
S1S0,000 and tie Carnegies have sent and
lost as much more in getting new work :
men.
The workm at Beaver Falls, Du-
quesne and the Union mills in Pittsburg
have lost about 100000 in wages by their
sympathy strike, and the firm is out
100000 by the idleness of these plants.
Added to this will be the county ex-
penses for deputy sheriffs and murder
trials, the expense to the city for hunting
Anarchi and to the nation for the
Congressional investigations. Another
item of no mean significance is the loss
to workmen aud manufacturers
in plants indirectly affected, which have
been forced to close down for want of
material.
The lockout workmen have not as yet
been deprived of any of the necessaries of
life, and if the fight should last several
weeks yet, there is u o danger of the work
mems families coming to actual want.

Efforts are being made by the members
of the Amalgamated Association, acting
as INDIVIDUALS, to induce some of the nom

the case of Alice Mitchell came into

She was charged with the murder of
her friend, Freda Ward. in order. as she
herself said. to prevent er marrying

and the consequence was that the verdict
rendered this morning was somewhat of
a surprise to the crowded court.
