MCPHERSON NOT BENEFITED.
His Southern Trip Proved a Failure
Going Away Indefinitely.

Special to the Jersey CatD NelCS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %, 1s94.-Sena-
tor Mcpherson has not been benefited by
his trip to Florida. A letter received from
him yesterday says that he found that the
air of ST. Augustien did not agree with
him, and he is now at Aiken. South
Carolina, where he says he
will probably remain indefinitely. He
viii ask Senator Smith to arrange for him
an indefinite leave of absence from the Sen
ate, and has also arranged with Senator
Voorhees,, Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, to fill his place temporarily on the
committee in case there is work to be done
on the tariff bill. This indicates that the
Senator has no intention of returning
to the city for some time. There
was a rumor current today that he
intended to take trip to some South
ern country in Europe, but this could not be
confirmed At any rate, if New Jerseys ap-
pointments are to be held up in his absence,
there will be few made for some time to
come, unless they are of postofices, for
whose appointments the recommendations
have already been made. Senator Smith has
recovered from the grip and is in the city.

Additional Local.


The steamer Chicora of the Benton
Harbor-Chicago line has commenced
making her daily trips.
Mrs. Manwaring of South Haven adj
dressed the regular monthly union tenn
perance meeting at the M. K. church
last Sunday evening.
1t looks as though railroads would
have to burn wood in their locomotives
if the coal strike keeps on. The Mich.
gan Central has about a months supply
of wood on hand for this division and
will use it if necessity demands.
A South Haven correspondent of the
Kalamazoo Telegraph gives some inter
esting particulars with respect TO DR..
W. {. Ransom's proposed trip around
the world. He says the expedition will
leave South Haven early in June. 1t is
proposed to coast North and South
American, doubling Cape Horn or
passing through the Straits of Magellan
as far north as Alaska, thence to the
Sandwich Islands, to New Zealand and
the South Sea Islands, Australia, Japan,
China, Borneo, Java and the Phillip
pine Islands, Sumatra, Siam, Bay of
Bengal and Ceylon. From Ceylon the

Hope and sail up the west coast of
Africa as far as the Straits of Gibraltar,
when she will enter the Mediterranean
and go to Alexandria, with long stop
at Palestine. The vessel selected by
the party is the schooner George l..
Wrenn, which has been trading on the
lakes for twenty-five years and is one
of the fastest of the schooner fleet. She
ic cfrnnnlu hnilf md al
tions are being made which will add
additional strength to various parts. As
many people compose the party, the
old cabin in the stern has been taken
out and the deck extended to the stern
planks. On this commodious cabin
has been built, extending from rail TO
rail and from the stern to the main
mast. This will be fitted out for the
built forward for the crew. The Wrenn
will be made three-mast vessel. The
hold will be used for a store room Con-
siderable provisions will be needed on
some of the long runs and the entire
space will be utilized. Some question
is being raised by marine men as to
whether an iron fastened boat, like the
Wrenn, will last long in salt water, as

boats as to render them unseaworthy in
a few years. Copper sheathing is put
on ocean boats, but it cannot be put on
an iron fastened boat, as the union of
the two metals forms an electric current
and uses up the iron. The men in
charge of the scheme say, however,
that they think the Wrenn will suffer
little from the salt corrosiOn and that
their boat will come back from the
voyage in good shape.

A Traveller Tells of One He Found In an
Egyptian Domicile.

Egyptian Domicile.
We Went into tho hut after some
hesitation-.the dragoman whispered
there were ladies there-and found a
vigorous old man, telling his Mussul-
man beads crosslegged on mud bench,
and on the floor bent over the fire the
Oldest looking human being I ever saw
alive.
Mummles have seen, and wondered
not that they were dead, but in what
part OF her withered desiccated frame
that old woman found space to keep the
stern vital energies that lined her grim,
carved face can scarcely guess. She
looked no more living than seaweed
does, dried and stretched on paper. Her
arms, her legs-thrust almost into the
6re-were SO shrunk th1s the long
leathern flesh and faced muscles hung
round them like dangling. shreds on
sticks.
Round her neck were beads Of
wood. and round her wrists leathern
bracelets-though, to be sure, cannot
feel certain they were not folds of skin
and on her face lurked not only lines,
but gullies and passages, they seemed
SO deep and fallen. But for the occa-
Bional upturned glance of her cold, I'M
questioning eye could not have sup
posed her anything else than one of the
earliest and best preserved of the re-
hottest queens Of Egypt.
''The old man gave US lusty well
come and sent for milk and dates and
filled our pockets. He showed us his
long spear that hung against the wall
and told me with proud gesture that
he had often killed his man, but more
often with sword, and taking me by
the shoulder showed me fercely how
he used to do it. He was 80 years old
and had never been farther from home
than Assoual, and then only once.
All his sons sat and stood round US,
and in the background against the mud
granary white teeth glimmered and the
broad, black faces of the women shone.
I asked him what present he would
like, and he asked for little rice and
little coffee. All the time he clutched
and fingered his Muslin rosary, which,
when I admired, he wanted me to &C.
cept. The son came back with US to
the dahbeah and carried off the coffee
and rice in envelopes, to which I add
ed handful of cigarettes and a couple
of oranges, with particular injunctions
that one was to be give to the old gen.

Counterfeit Coins.

Within the last few years numbers of
forgeries of extremely rare coins in the
British museum and in private collec-
tions have been sold by auction in Lon
don. So good is their execution that it
seems probable that means have been
devised for casting steel dies on plaster
casts orvof hardening electrotype dies.
The manufacture of rare siege pieces, {"
carried on in one of our midland towns,
shows q far lower amount of skill.
When genuine but defaced coins are
restruck with new impressions, it is
very difficult to discover the fraud.
Some genuine ancient coins are surfrap-
PEGS in this inanner-as, for instance,
whole class Of Jewish coins which are
struck on Roman silver denarii. But
when the image and superscription Of
William III can be discefned underly-
ing the device on rare crown piece Of
Elizabeth the question of its authentic
ity is soon solved. --Longman's Maya

HANGED A SMALL BOY
And Threatened to Drown Him in Brine
Serious Charge Against New Hamp-
shire Wolnan-The Boy Is Dead and
Investigation Will Be Made.

Gambia. N. H., January 2S.-The resi-
dents of this town are considerably ex-
cited over the death of George Stodler,
eight years old, who died today, as al
legged from the effects of inhuman treat
ment at the hands of Mrs. Mary Hart
ford, with whom he lived. Mrs. Samuel
Barnard, who for some time resided at
the house of Mrs. Hartford, states that
early in the month of December, Mrs.
Hartford took the child into the shed
and numerically beat him with stick
because he had not done the chores and
only desisted when other members of
the household protested. From this
time the lad began to decline and grow
worse until today when he died. Mrs.
Barnard states that during the time she
was there, the child was repeatedly
whipped and otherwise punished for
trivial offenses. Once the child was
playing with other children when she
thought he should be at work, and she
was SO angered that she took rope, tied
it about his body and threw the end over
a beam in the she'd, drawing him up and
holding him suspended in the air and
striking his head against beam as she
repeatedly raised and lowered the rope.
His frantic cries for help were heartrend-
ing and attracted several persons, who
fastened to the shed where they found
Mrs. Hartford removing the rope from
the trembling form of the child, who was
SO frightened he was hardly able to
stand. He was frequently punished by
dashing hot soap and water in his face
till he would strangle and nearly go into
commissions. On one occasion, when he
had incurred the anger of Mrs. Hart
ford, it is said she threatened to drown
him in barrel of brine in the cellar, and
grasping him firmly in her arms, pro-
ceeded to the cellar and had lifted the
cover from the meat barrel which con-
tanned quantity of brine, when she was
prevented from executing the threat by
the appearance of Mrs. Wilson, who
begged her to release the child. Other
cases of extreme cruelty on the part of
Mrs. Hartford are alleged. Col. Marvin,
state agent of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, has been
notified and will invertigate. the case
Monday.
