Mrs. Sarah Farley Van Nostrand,
probably the Oldest person in New Jer-
sey, died at her home in East Milestone
few days ago, aged 105 years 8 months
and 10 days. Her death was fastened
by fall which she received about two
weeks before. Mrs. Van Nostrand's ia
Their, Wyndert Van Arsdale, was drum
mer boy in the Revolutionary war and
served at the battle of Trenton. Mrs.
Van Nostrand retained full possession
of her faculties to the very last, and
her memory was remarkable. She
knew all the residents of Milestone and
could name them as they passed her
window.
For years past it has been the custom
to hold an annual family reunion on
her birthday, and the old lady always
enjoyed these occasions. One of the last
things she said was:
Il am thankful God has spared me
so long and left me so many blessings. "
Five children survive her, the Oldest
Of which is 10 years Of age.

The Pavilion Now Open-The Fish Cam
nery-Notes.
TERMINAL ISLAND, Feb. 10.-The pa
vilion is now wide open for business and
Mr.. Tom Gilbert, the manager, will see
that the wants of the patrons are at
tended to. Next season will witness a
great many Improvements, all looking to
the comfort and pleasure OF the guests,
and the island will, as it was last season,
be the most popular resort in the county.
A large dance platform between the
pavilion and bath house is talked about,
and self-adjusting toboggan slide that
will always land you in the water will
be here sure. The high standard the
pavilion earned Tor its menu last season
will be sustained, and we confidently
expect the most prosperous season in
the history of this island resort will be
the coming one.
The coal bunkers are being made
ready to receive the large cargo that is
now overdue, and the yard is teeming
with all the hustle and life busy lot of
men Can give.
The fish canning establishment ia only
partially supplied with fish and conse-
ouently is not turning out as much as it
ia capable Of.
We mentioned in former letter that
there was room on the island Tor large
number of such establishments and we
now have reason to believe that at least
one, if not more. such establishments
will be put in and be in operation before
many more moons. There is big money
in this venture, as there is now more
fish going to waste for lack OF curing
and canning establishments, than would
make the fortunes of 1000 companies.
The vessel that laid at the Ganahl
Lumber company's wharf last week dis
charged over 560, 900 feet of finished
lumber. This company handles an inn
mense amount of lumber and where it
all goes to is puzzle. We know that
lots of it is being put in buildings in
Long Beach and that neighborhood, but
that don't account for the twentieth
part of what leaves the yard over the
Terminal.
Shell hunters by the dozens come
every day, and sack after sack and
basket after basket of shells are taken,
and still the supply seems to be mex
haustible.
Barney Goede, Ben Hovey, Jerry
Mack and Henry Ostrand of Los Ange-
les, accompanied by lady friends, lunched
at the pavilion Wednesday.

Of Los Angeles were shell hunting Tues

The PASSING OF THE JUSTICES.
Their Trip From Their Robing Apart
ment to the Courtroom.

Their Trip From Their Robing Apart
ment to the Courtroom.
Another innovation has made its APP
pearance at the capitol. 1t is worth
while to make trip to the building
just before ~ o'clock every day to wit
ness it.
The room in which the supreme court
justices adorn themselves with their
flowing silk robes is across the hall
from the chamber in which the court
meets. Hitherto fow moments before
noon the door of the attiring room
would open, and forthwith would
emerge the solemn justices. On one
side of the corridor-which, by the
way, is the main passageway through
the capitol-would stand a court Off
cial and another man would be sta
toned on the opposite side. Between
this guard the justices would walk and
moment later would disappear behind
the heavy door of the entrance to the
private corridor to the bench. But this
simple and modest method has been
relegated to the past. 1t is different
now.
When the justices are now ready to
leave their attiring apartment, four
court messengers appear. They bear
two pieces of plush covered rope. A
man stands On each side of the two
doors, and across the corridor they
stretch their plush covered barrier.
Through the avenue thus formed the
black gowned justices walk, the bril-
liant plush covering cleaning like
streak of fire against their somber robes.
If the justices are little slow, the
crowd must possess its soul in patience.
Not until the last black gown has dis
appeared are the plush covered ropes
taken down and the ordinary course of
travel allowed to resume. Washing

An Ordinance Kiilsd-A Peculiar Di-

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 10.-The case
of II. Wolishon for selling groceries in
violation OF the city Sunday ordinance
came up before the superior court this
afternoon. on appeal from the recorders
court. Judge Otis held the ordinance
was special legislation, not of uniform
application, and therefore unconstitu-
tional and void and the decision of the
recorders court upholding the validity
of the ordinance was reversed.
About 10 days ago young married
woman came to this city from Mentone
to institute divorce proceedings, and be-
ing in destitute circumstances and about
to become mother, she was taken to
the county hospital. She complains of
extreme cruelty on the part OF her hus-
band, who is a well-to-do rancher. 1t
seems, however, she has done a similar
act once before, putting her husband to
a large expense. The county has called
ON the husband to foot the bills in this
instance also.

MlssouRps LONG DROUGHT.
Pike and Rails Counties Have Been
Parched For Over Six Months.

Pike and Rails Counties Have Been
Parched For Over Six Months.
There has now been drought in this
part of the state since the middle of last
June, and consequently the present
drought is the greatest that we have ex-
perienced for many years. 1t is true
that we have had many showers since
last June, but none of them afforded
any stock water to amount to anything,
and consequently nearly all the cisterns
and ponds are dry. Most Of the springs
have ceased to flow, and all the creeks
and branches have nearly run dry.
Salt river is lower than was ever before
known. and Spencer creek, which runs
through Rails and a portion Of Pike
county, is nearly dry.
Some of the farmers of Rails county
are driving their stock nearly 10 miles
to water, and this has been the case for
the past three months. The water be-
ing so low in the ponds and branches,
it has frozGn nearly solid, so that in
many localities there Is virtually wa
ter famine 1t is hardly probable that
there will be any rain this winter to
amount to anything, and the farmers
are becoming respondent. Nearly ev-
cry cistern in Hannibal is dry, but as
this city has an excellent system of wa
terworks our citizens are not having
much trouble. But what the farmers
will do to supply their stock with wa
ter during the present winter is beyond
comprehension. 1t seems that their only
alternative is to sink wells, for in this,
way they can get supply of water in
any part of the country, although in
some cases it may be rather expensive.

A Vessel with a History.

The United States coast survey
steamer Hassler, now anchored in the
harbor of Tacoma for the winter, is a
vessel with history. She was built
for surveying the route from Panama
to San Francisco, and Professor Louis
Agassiz, with number of scientific
companions, was allowed by the gov
eminent to take passage On the vessel
and make observations and collections
during her voyage around Cape Horn
to the Pacific coast. She left Boston on
her maiden trip in December, 1871, and
arrived at San Francisco the next Au
gust. The geological collections made
at that time were large and added much
to the knowledge of scientists. Tacoma
