GETTING READY
For the Fight, by the Free Silver
Men.

Men.
NEW YORK, July Ex-senator
John p. Jones, of Nevada, is in
New York arranging for the Free
Silver convention at Chicago, Aug.
LIST. The Senator told the repor-
tiers that whatever disposition the
house will make of the Sherman
act, repeal cannot pass
the Senate unless a sub
stitute is offered satisfactory
to champions of Silver Free Coin
age. 81 can if | WISH" continued
the senator, "tie up the Senate
from now until the terms of its
members expire. OF course there
is likely to be prolonged debates.
Stewart, Teller, Walcott and the
rest of us, who demand free coin
age, or some thing akin to it, will
have a great deal to say.
If we get tired of talking a
motion to adjourn, to go into exec
utive session, or any other motion,
will continue the debate" "BuU if
closure is attempted" "There is
no more chance of closure than
there was during the federal
election bill fight, the Fifty
third congress. The gold men
must come to us; we shall not
surrender to them by any means.
Our Chicago convention bids fair
to prove very popular, and a large
ly attended one. We shall exhibit
a strength of which our opponents
perhaps do not dream"

these years untouched, and that
he was now the only person living
who knew of its location. With his
failing breath, he gave as good "A

could, and died a few hours later.

A SUPPOSED CRIME
Proves to be Simply an Innocent
Mocking Bird.

Mocking Bird.
There is a hooking bird on Az
enue ID, and he is a "daisy." Among
the many limitations this bird is
capable of rendering, is that Of a
police whistle, and the imitation
is perfect. Nobody owns this bird,
but he makes his headquarters in a
large chinaberry-tree, near Sew
enth street. 1t occurred the other
day as the policeman of that beat
was walking up the avenue, that
the bird gave the imitation of the
police call. The officer listened at
tentively, and finally cOnclud-
ed that some one was in distress
and calling for a policeman.
The faithful officer, to perform his
sworn duties promptly, immedi-
ately started out, and went to the
assistance of the supposed victim.
The nearer he approached the
supposed horrible scene of crime
the more natural the whistle
sounded and the harder it blew,
and of course the officer increased
his pace. Finally he arrived where
he was called to, and as he was
preparing to make the arrest he
discovered that it was an innocent
mockingbird. Evidently the bird
was not aware of the trouble he
created below, and neither was
there anyone around at the time
to enjoy the fun at the expense of
the officer. This is no joke on the
officer, nor a "huge joke" on the
LIGHT.

met Mr.. Moses Rockwell Crow, a gen

the fact that he is the possessor of S.

his way. 1t was a case of love at first
sight. Moses was captured by the far
Louise, and she, after suitable period
spent in meditation and prayer, con-
sented to become Mrs. Crow. No one

Penang Cinnamon Want Home Rule.

Four thousand Penang Cinnamon have
petitioned Lord Ripon and addressed
Representations to Sir Charles Dixie and
Mr. Labouchere to the effect that they
object to being governed from Singa-
pore. They wish to secure separate
Penang administration, and maintain
that cabinet pledged to home rule
should at least send a royal commission
to inquire into their claims. The legis-
lative council recently rejected a similar
motion.
The Straits Times declares that the
petitioners chiefly consist of ignorant
persons. who are influenced by agitators
and encouraged by some Penang mer-
chants who desire to pledge the govern
meut's credit for harbor schemes.-Sing-

A Good Joke.

The joke is said to be on Constable
johnson this time. He went to ar
rest the Millville man who stole the
shoes, at place where he was STOP
ing in this city. The report goes tina :
the constable did not know his man,
and when he entered the house, the
man who met him was the chap he
wanted. The constable, not knowing
him, asked DO you know such
man ?" naming him.
'Yes SIR" replied the fellow.
"Does he board here p
"He has BEEN"
us he here now?"
He's gone" was the reply.
The constable chatted with the man
for awhile, and then left the house.
As soon as he was well out of the way
the fellow remarked, "Now he has
gone, I guess I'll be going too," so he
departed, and taking the train left, the
city.

PauIsb0FO M. e. Church Dedt-
Gated.

Thursday was memorable one in
the history Of Methodism at Paulsboro
the occasion being the dedication of
sae handsome new Methodist Episeo.
pal church by presiding Elder Rev.
Milton Relyea, of the Camden district,
in the presence of number of clergy
men and very large congregation.
The first church structure was
erected in 1897, and was used as a
house of worship until 1856, a period
of 2S years, when it was rebuilt, and
has since been used by the congrega-
ton for period of 81 years, until the
present edifice was erected.
Rev. William Mitchell, the pastor of
the chnrch, has been indefatigable in
his work of building the new struct-
ure and raising the money to pay for
it, and has been largely aided by the
Ladies' Aid Society of the church,
with Mrs. II. G.. Loudenslager, wife of
the Congressman-elecr, as President,
and Mrs. Ida Paul, Secretary. This
society raised $3.50 for building pur
poses and furnished the carpets for
the main auditorium, lecture and class
rooms at cost of 5000
