Burnt Wood Decoration.

The kind of wood You should use de-
pends greatly upon the size and charac-
ter of your decoration. For the frieze Of
room or large panel to go over a
chimneypioce soft wood would be best,
for it would allow of bold treatment of
lines. But if you were intending to or
nanent a jewel box bard wood would
he best, because it lends itself to the
most delicate work You can make
upon very hard wood line as delicate
as the finest produced by an etcher with
his needle upon the copper plate.
Burnt wood decoration is rather slow
work. 1t is more allied to carving OF

his energies upon irrelevant diseases in

variety by introducing other forms of
enteric disorders but should never ex-

RELIGION AND POLITICS
Spirited Contest in South Amboy's Kleo-
tIon for School Trustees

SOUTH AMDoY, N. j., July 26-Much
III feeling has been engendered here by
the school election. The election was the
first held under the new law, and full
board was elected. The trouble has grown
ont Of the action OF the priest in charge Of
st. Mary's Roman Catholic church, who,
it is said, ordered the women of his parish
to vote for the candidates of their relig-
ious faith. About the time the polls
opened the Catholic women met in st.
Mary's school hall. From there they went
to the polling place in blocks Of four. All
were provided with ballots.
The Protestants knew nothing Of this
until the women began to vote in large
numbers, always four in a squad. They
soon found out what was going on. For
the rest of The time the polls remained
open there was lively work on the part of
Protestants to overcome the advantage
obtained by the Catholics. The wives,
daughters and sweethearts of the Protes-
tants were hurried to the polling place as
soon rs possible. Many of them were
called from bed to cast the ballot they
were entitled to.
1t was too late when the work of the
Protes tants commenced to avail them
much The count showed that the Cath
olics had elected six of the nine trustees.
The Protestants claim that they will con-
test the election on the ground that many
Of the women who voted were not of the
required nge. 1t Is understood that prom
inent members OF the Junior Order, A. p.
A., will enjoin the board from entering
I into the discharge of their duties. This
will bring the matter into court on quo
warranto proceedings.

AN AUBURN SENSATION --'--
Nelson Beardsiey's Alleged widow VIII
Fight for o slioe Of His Millions.

AUBURN, N. Y, July 90. Nelson
Beardsley, of this city, president of two
local banks and director In all of the
others, president Of the Oswego Starch
factory and many times millionaire,
died on jan 10 last, at his home on Gem
essee street. simultaneously a widow
named Mrs. Laura A. Armstrong, living
in a less pretentious house in quiet
street mile away, assumed widows
weeds and gave evidence of the most
poignant grief. She personally visited
the trades people of the city and an
nounced that she was the widow Of Nell
son Reardsley, announcing that hereafter
all bills should be made out in the name
of Mrs. Benrdsley.
Little credence was given to the wo-
mans claim, as 1t was argued that, al
though the two names had been linked
together for several years previous to his
death more or less intimately, he was not
the man to allow scandal to be attached
to his name. Portions of his vast estate
were given to numerous relatives, but the
bulk of it was left in trust for his six
daughters. Nothing has been said in his
will of wife.
A bomb was exploded in the city yes
terday, however, which gives color to the
woman's story that she intends to fight
for a share OF the millions. Through her
attorney she has commenced proceedings
to establish her right of dover as the law
fully married wife of Nelson Beardsley in
his lifetime, as she had lived with him
until the time of his death, and claiming
one child, Nelson ID. Beardsley, as the is
sue of such marriage. Mr.. Beardsley was
64 years of age at the time of his death.
The infant who bears his name in these
proceedings is years old
Action was also commenced to recover
on two notes alleged to have been given
by Mr.. Beardsley in 1891 and 1852 Her
attorneys say they will commence pro-
cecdngs in few days to recover the sum
OF s70oO) which She declares is the value
of certain securities given to her by Mr..
Beardsloy, in trust for their infant child,
and which are said to be missing from her
private apartment in the banks vault.
The public announcement of these acts
has created sensation which never has
been equalled in the community.

ARCTIC EXPLORERS.
Further Reports Of the Loss Of
Wellman's Expedition.
FEARS FOR DIR. NANsEN'S PARTY.

1t Il believed That the Norwegian Ex-
plorer, Too. Has Been Lost In the Ice
F1oes-Latest from the Expeditions Led
by Pcary and Jackson.
LONDON, July 26-Mr. Fielden, owner
of the yacht Saide, which vessel succored
Professor Oyen, the geoloRist of the Well
man Arctic expedition, who was left at
Danes Island, writes. referring to the re-
ported loss of the Wellman party and
their steamer, that he has learned from
Spitzbergen that the Ragnvald-Jnrl, the
vessel which was used to convey the ex-
plorers to the edge of the ice pack, was an
old whaler, which had been fitted up as
steamer, and that she was in no way fitted
to encounter the ice.
d A reporter of the Associated Press had
un interview with Carl Siewers. the Nor
wegian enthusiast in polar matters, now
in London, who wrote to The Standard
yesterday announcing that he was in re-
ceipt of advices from Norway which left
little doubt that the Wellmau Arctic ex-
pedition was lost Mr.. Siewers showed
the reporter bundle of letters received
from Arctic healers who had returned to
Norway from the extreme northern waters.
The writers said that they were convinced
that all the members Of the Wellman ex-
pedition were lost.
In addition the sealers expressed the
belief that Captain Nansen's ship was
also crushed in the ice. The Norwegian
national assembly in 1891 voted grant
of 100000 kroner for an expedition to the
North Pole, and DIR. Fridjof Napsen, of
Christana, the author of Across Green
land, was placed in charge. The expo
dition, which consisted of n dozen men,
sailed from Charova, on the north ST.
berian coast, early in August, 1898.
Mr.. Siewers believes that the Peary
party will return in September, after hay
ing sailed over the pole IN an open sea.
Mr.. Siewers said that Lieutenant Peary's
expedition was the only party, excepting
Jnckson's, which was scientifically
planned.
Advices have been received here from
Trcmsoc, Norway, to the effect that the
steamer Windward, having on board
Frederick Jackson and the members ol
his North Polar expedition, has pnsset
| tn 4 place. The Windward sailed from
Greenhithe on July II for Franz Jose
| Land via Archangel. Arriving ut Fran;
| Josef Land the expedition will leave thu

will return to England. In 1896 she viii
| go back to Franz Josef Land for the pur

is the intention of Mr. jackson not t.
push further north until next spring
