IT is very doubtful if the action of the
taxpayers meeting in the Court House,
on Saturday, will have any effect upon
the Legislature, either in the matter of
repeating or amending the present road
law. as all of the upper part the state is
determined to have stone roads, and the
residents of that section seem to be able
to carry their points in that direction.
But there is one thing that cannot be
gainsayed and that must not be ignored,
and that is that the taxpayers of Bur-
lington county have spoken in unmis-
taxable tones against the law in its pre-
sent form. The meeting was composed
of representative n-preperty-own
and taxpayers-from all parts of the
county The subject was discussed freely
in all its aspects, and there was no re-
striction placed upon the form of arRu-
ment; free speech ruled. The result was
resolution favoring the repeal of the
law, and motion endorsing that por-
ton OF the Board of Freeholders that has
so strenuously opposed plunging the
county into debt. So that, whatever may
be done at Trenton, our local governors
can have no doubt as to their duty in the
premises. And there is another thing
the Freehosders should heed, and that is
the resolution requiring action to recover
fees claimed to have been illegally gained.
We have always commended that the in
vestigating committee should have
brought this action. but the taxpayers
have decided otherwise, and the Board
should lose no time in needing the in
strucfions given.

An EscaDed lion Shifts at an Unconscious
Woman, But Does Her No Harm.
The circus gave Tecumseh, Ala, ex-
element enough on a recent Sunday to
last it for year, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Forepaugh's show Travelled
on four trains. AS it is against the
Georgia laws to run through this state
on Sunday it was decided to stop at
Tecumseh and feed the animals and
rest. At all the stations there were
large crowds, and at Tecumseh there
were several hundred when the last
train approached. AS it was slowing
down one of the ferocious lions man
aged to tear off the door of his cage.
Hector, which was the brute's name,
thrust his head out right IN the faces OF
group of negroes who were standing
on the platform. They could not have
been worse scared if the evil one had
dropped down among them. Hector
made leap, with open mouth, into the
crowd. Such a scattering and such
Yelling were never seen or heard In Ala
bama. Some of the negroes fell down
in abiect fright, but the most OF them
struck off for home on a hard run. a
dozen tried to climb telegraph poles.
One man sprang down a well Hector
lit on his feet, but rolled over and over.
When he got up there was hardly man,
woman or child within fifty yards One
woman, though, who had tainted was
living near the lion. With one bound
he was on her, his ugly teeth showing
and his tongue rolling out The people
who were looking on were horrlfled.
The tanner was a long way off and there
was no one near with a pistol or rifle.
To attempt to rescue her would be al
most certain death. To the astonish-
ment of everyone the beast, instead OF
mangling the woman: simply shifted
the body, turned it over with his paws,
and after cycling it suspiciously walked
off leisurely. He thought that the
woman was dead. Hector was recap
tured and recaged without trouble

RUSSIAN SUPERSTITION.
Queer Ideas Regarding a Fire Started by
Lightning.

Queer Ideas Regarding Fire Started by
Lightning.
Ignorance is seen in it's true colors
when it interferes with the practical af-
fairs of life and strikes death-blow to
prosperity and happiness. A traveller in
Russia writes in the English Illustrated
Magazine:
One village through which we passed
was the embodiment of filth and
squalor A destructive fire was raging
at one end of it, and round this all the
inhabitants were gathered. One house
was already burned down, a second was
one mass of flames, and the fire was
rapidly spreading to a third, yet not a
hand was raised to arrest its ruinous
progress. Oaths, prayers, the wailing
of women and whining of children filed
the air.
''Why on earth don't you put out the
fire?" shouted my companion to one OF
the peasants, who approached with a
servile and wistful look, as if he ex-
pected an offering of money. Have
you no buclzets?a
"Surely your excellency deigns to
know that it isn't buckets we needP'
'Well, it isn't strong arms, either,
fancy. Why don't you go to work?'
"Your grace wouldn't have us fly IN
the face of Heavenl We've sins enough
on our souls without adding that black
crime to them. Wasn't it Gods own
lightning that set Petroff's house on
fire couple of hours ago? And bad as
we are, there's not man in the village
that would raise his hand to undo Gods
holy work"
My friend raised his hand, waved it
despairingly, and we drove on.
''Its mere waste of time to reason
with them" he said. ''They would as
soon commit suicide en- masse as put
out fire God had kindled with His
lightning"

Tho Man Revolves on His Heels, the

Every year fresh absurdities crop up,
not only in fashionable attire, but in
dancing and department. should think
the waltzing of the present generation
would make the shade of dear, delight
full "Mr. Turveydrop" turn away from
the earth with shuddering sigh, says
writer in the New York Press. The
very latest London glide" necessitates
pokerlike rlgidity of arm and back
that is painful enough to look at, and
must be positive torture to the dancers,
both male and female. To my barbar-
ian eyes the attitude taken by the per
forming couples is this The man puts
his right arm, not around his partners
waist, but high up, almost about her
neck in fact, and with the elbows stiffly
raised at an angle of forty-five degrees;
on the extreme point of the elbow the
lady's left hand is placed, not confiding
ly and delicately as of yore, but defiant
ly and heavily, and also with much
pointing of elbow. The right and left
hands of man and woman then grasp
each other with ''do or die" expression
and are clasped against the masculine
shirt bosom in the region of his collar,
and then they revolve slowly, the man
on his heels chiefly, and the woman not
tiptoeing delicately, but fatty and with
out any motion of her body whatsoever!
i wonder would latter-day Byron de-
scribe it as ''seductive!' Then suddenly
one of the woodworking damsels is
asked to dance, and every one sits down
or stands up in a hollow square, and
Miss We're de We're, with daintily lifted
petticoats exposing exqulsitely shod
feed, trips it right merrily to the strains
of knocked EN- in the Old Kent Road, ;"
or the Barn Door Dance" while en-
thusiastic onlookers keep up ripple of
delighted comments.

OLDEST MAN LIVING.
He IL Said to Reside In the City o
{ Mexico.

He IL Said to Reside in the City OF
Mexico.
Information comes from the City OF
Mexico to the effect that probably the
oldest person on earth is to be found in
the outskirts Of this city. Jesus Cam
peche lives in hut with his great
great-grandson, who is a full-grown
man.
Campeche, says the st. Louis Re-
public, came originally from Spain,
where he says he was born in 1738,
which would make him now one hum
dred and ffty-four years old. He has
the appearance of being about ninety
years old and is fairly active for an old
man. He shows papers to bear out his
assertion as to his age and birth, and
the man with whom he is living says
there is no doubt as to the relationship
he bears to the old man. Campeche says
that he has never known days Sick
ness in his life.
He says he remembers coming to this
country when he was but twenty-five
years old as soldier, and that was be-
fore the war of the revolution in the
United States. The old mans memory
is good, and he tells of things which
took place in the last century as If they
had occurred last year, instead of over
one hundred years ago. In fact, he re-
members things seventy-fve and a hum
bred years ago better than he does
those of recent occurrence.
The papers which he carries to prove
his assertions are the copies of church
register in Validolid, Spain, showing
his date of birth and that of his bap-
tism. The papers are undoubtedly
genuine, as far as the dates are con-
cerned, and the only thing to be de-
termined is whether they are rightfully
his or not. His memory of incidents in
the last century would indicate that he
is either telling the truth as to his par
ticipation therein or he has a most
wonderful mind to have stored up the
tales in such manner as to have de-
ceived all who listen to him. The
priest of the church which he attends
is an old man of eighty-six, and says he
was an acolyte in the church when ne
was boy, and Campeche was an old
man at that time.

WRAPPED WITH SNAKES.
Adventure of Farmer Who Descended
Into an old Well.

Adventure of Farmer Who Descended
Into an old Well.
Alexander Krolsky, farmer near
Derby Hill, Conn, recently had an ex-
perience with snakes that has rendered
him temporarily insane, and the ply
sicians are not sure that he will ever re-
gain his reason. Krolslzy went down
into well on his farm for the purpose
of cleaning it out. He had been down
but a few minutes when he shouted to
his cousin, who had lowered him, to
draw him up. The man began pulling
up the rope. When he had helped
Krolsky nearly to the top he looked
down and saw several black and brown
water snakes were around Krolsky's
arm and body.
The sight of the serpents scared the
man, and, dropping the rope, he ran
bowling away. Krolsl1y's shrieks were
heard by laborers a short distance
away, and they ran to the well, Krol-
sky was battling desperately with the
snakes. He was quickly helped out
From his body five immense snakes
were torn and killed. His mind is now
deranged. The old well in which he
encountered the reptiles is apparently
full of them. A lantern lowered into
it revealed countless number OF SER
pent heads protruding from the wall.

HOW MuTEs MAKE LOVE.
Courtship Carried On by One Couple After
the Light Was Turned Down.

the Light Was Turned Down.
A gentleman who enjoys wide ac-
ouaintance among the deaf of Philadel-
phia told Record reporter that the
courtship of pair of mutes was one of
the most singular things on record. Il
know a Young man who is now deep in
the tolls of a fair and speechless girl, !"
he said, ''and he has taken me into his
confidence. He is perfectly happy in
his infirmity, for from conversations he
has held with ordinary lovers he has
come to the conclusion that silence is,
after all, the best form for lovers. Dur
ing the progress of his affair de cour he
experienced but one difficulty, and that
in a short time he surmounted. The
thorn that lay in his bed of roses was a
gas let, which, as he, of course, con-
yersed with his adored one in the sign
language, it was always necessary to
keep ablaze-a woefully embarrassing
thing for lovers. Finally they discov-
cred that, like Laura Bridgman, they
could utilize the sense of touch in de-
ciphering their sign language. By
holding one another's hands they found
that they could carry on conversation
with toierable facility, and in about
a week were adopts. Thus deaf,
dumb and practically blind, they en-
loved all the pleasure of love. They
have spread their discovery among their
friends, and L believe that the idea has
taken fast hold upon deaf lovers and
has become quite a fad"
