Transformed in a Night.

A southern camp meeting is always
more or less fruitful of comical incl
dents, but rarely, if ever, has q more
amusing occurrence been connected
with one than was presented at re-
cent gathering in Maryland.
An old couple on joining the camp
had supplied themselves with a bot
tie Of pennyroil oil, with which to keep
off mosquitoes. On retiring the very
first night they extinguished the light
but forgot to apply the antidote.
The mosquitoes were very bad, and
after standing it as long as they could
the old lady got up, CROPPED in the
dark for the bottle of oil and found in
stead bottle of ink. With this she
fabricated the face, hands and feet OF
her husband and anointed herself in
like manner.
They again essayed to sleep, but the
mosquitoes pestered them as severely
as before, aud all the rest they secured
was an occasional nap. At last in des
peration the old lady got up and struck

Gated she beheld to her horror color
ed person stretched in the place of her
spouse.
Without second thought she secur-
ed her husbands cane and began beat
ing him over the head. The husband
on gaining consciousness, was almost
equally ailrighted to find black de-
mon of female form thrashing him with
might and main. He defended himself
as hest he could from the furious on
slaught, and finally wrenched the stick
from his assailant. As he was about to
strike he recognized his wife's voice
and desisted.
An investigation followed, which re-
veaed the cause of the mysterious
transformation. The stains of the ink
on both faces and the swollen appear
ance Of the mans head, however, and
the humiliation that both felt at the oc-
currence led the devoted old couple to
sneak away from the camp at the car

GEN. HOOKER, in his speech in the

among the people was not attributable
so much to the Sherman act as to the
Mckinley act.n No truer remark has
been made during the whole congress
sional debate on the subject referred to.
The Mckinley bill compels the farmers,
upon whom the country depends for its
welfare, not only to pay double for al
most every thing they have to buy, but
tends to restrict the sale of their prod
ucts to the glutted home market, by
compelling foreign merchants topay for
them with scarce and dear gold, instead
of with the cheap and plentiful products
of their own countries. But, strange as
it may seem, the democratic managers
and the solid republican party agree
that the large majority of the people OF
the country, who desire the immediate
repeal of the Mckinley act, "can afford
to wait

UNFOLDING THE BLACK FLAG
The parade OF the unemployed work
men through the streets Of Newark
n. j., took place yesterday. There
were about two thousand men and
bows in line. At the head of the pro-
cession man marched bearing black
flag, upon which was painted in white
letters: "signs of the Times-I Am
Starving Because He is Fat" The
picture of a we'll fed man was dis
played on one end of the flag, and a
starving workman on the other. When
the procession reached the City Hall
Mayor Haynes ordered the black flag
lowered, declaring that no one could
march through Newark's streets carry
ing any flag except the Stars and
Stripes. The men were all well
dressed and did not look hungry. En-
ma Goldman spoke at the meeting
which the paraders held after they had
marched through the city. She ad-
yised the men to steal bread if they
could not get it by working. Resolu-
tions were passed asking the Mayor
for bread, and asking him not to allow
tenants to be elected tor non-payment
of rent.
