DUCK FARMING.

It is worthy of note that the Chinese
very, very long ago Matched out their
ducks by artificial heat, and the incu-
-bators that seem so wonderful to us at
the poultry shows and country fairs
were an old story in the East long be-
fore our great grandfathers were born
1t is likely that we got the domesti-
Gated duck from China so long ago that
we know not when. and the writers on
natural history content themselves with
telling us that it is derived from the NAL
lard, mixed in some cases with the musk
black duck The domestication of the
duck has had an effect the opposite of
that usually produced by civilization on
Gus. Waterton, the naturalist, assures
US, indeed. that the wild-duek is a most
faithful husband, and remains paired for
life, while the domestic drake is most

PERFUMES AND PLAQUES.

Perfumes had their origin inthe burn
ing of incense. and on the walls of
Egyptian temples may be seen at this
day formulas used by the priests for the
preparation of the perfumery required
for the different festivals, It is supposed
that kings and mobiles bribed the priests
to reveal their secrets, and thus, like
the precious gift Of fire, the Z, treasure be

London took the disease. A famous
French perfumer cites the case Of four
the plague at Marseilles and robbed the
dead with impunity, they having pro-
tected themselves from contagion by
the free use of aromatic vinegar. A
writer in French scientific journal
states that perfumes counteract malar-
ial vapors In proof of his assertion he
mentions that the Island of Ternate
enjoyed reputation of a remarkably
healthful climate until the Dutch de-
stroyed the spice trees, since which time

frightful epidemicS.

JAPAN'S ADVANCE.

LONDON, Oct. o. 1s94.-The "Westmin-
ster Gazette publishes a despatch FROM
Yokohama which says it is reported there
that the Japanese have captured Che
Foo. The Government, however, has
received no information confirming this
report
A despatch from Shanghai to the Cen
tra1 News says the mouth of the River
Min, below Foo-Chow, has been closed,
fearing an attempt on the part OF the
Japanese warshfps to steam up the river
Merchant cargoes are landed at Sharp
Point, at the mouth of the river
The "St. James Gazette" prints de-
spatch from Chemulpo, dated october 3,
saying that fourteen Japanese trans
ports were in the harbor having on
board 1880 troops, and that 756 coolies
had been landed since September ~
Owing to fears of an uprising OF m
surgent tribesmen the garrison at Seoul
had been REINFORCED by 1000 men. The
japanese pay for everything they get
from the Coreans. The daily expense
of Japan in maintaining her army IN
Corea is 100000.
The Star this morning prints a de-
spatch from Yokohama, saying that the
advance guard of the Japanese army
is encamped to the north of the Yalu
River. The despatch also says that a
battle is imminent.
The British warship Undaunted has
been ordered to Nagasaki and the gun
boat Firebrand to New-Chwang.

note to Japan in September claiming
an interest in the future government
of Corea Japan's reply, it is asserted,
was unfriendly to Russia's proposal
Russia's position in Eastern Siberia does
not now render that territory safe in a
conflict with Japan but large reinforce
ments of troops are proceeding TO the
military stations along the Amoor and
Ussuri Rivers.

GAMBLING AT TIE FAIR.
Special to the Jerseu cttu Ne,rs.

TRENTON, Oct. 9, 1S94.-In charging
the Mercer Grand Jury today Justice Abb
bett called attention to the gambling
which went on at the recent Interstate
Fair. He said that if the games had been
carried on with the knowledge of the
fair officials and the police all the guilty
parties should be made to answer. He
commended the fair association as an ad-
mirable institution, of which the County
might we'll be proud; but if the gambling
devices were permitted to continue the
fair would lose all the beneficial features.
The emphasis with which Judge Albeit
dwelt upon this part of his charge Gre
ated much excitement in the Court.

MERCHANTS KICK.
Complain That the Early Closing As
socfatfon Is Asleep.

Many merchants on Newark avenue
are wondering what has become of the
Early Closing Association. One of the
largest clothing houses of this city, II
not. the largest, in obedience to the as
sociation's wishes, closed its doors
promptly at six o'clock during the last
six months; but near to the establish
ment are concerns who keep open un-
til all hours of the night. Not unrea-
sonably, those merchants who close at
six o'clock on the ,o,,g gndsrstanalngi LEI sanarai
don't like the turn of affairs and they
are nquiring about the ASSOCIATION which dlna
started out to secure universal early CLOS
ing. These merchants believe that the
lethargic association ought to wake up
and devote their best efforts to closing up
all stores on the avenue at sundown.
One of these merchants interviewed
by a News reporter adds, advice to
the association in these words:-
Wake up. Early Closing Association.
Direct your most vigorous efforts
against those houses who say that they
will not close"

O'DONNBLL A WINNER.
A Hard Campaign Brought to
a CIose-A Good Record.

Ex-Judge Michael ]. O'Donnell, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
County Clerk, has finished today two
weeks of hard campaigning work. Dur
ing that all too brief time he has visited
every part of the county and added to
his already long list of warm supporters
Probably there is no Democrat in the
county SO well known as he. His manli-
ness, upright conduct and conscientious
ness have commanded the praise even
of Republicans, many of whom will vote
for him in preference to the names talked
of to represent the G. o. P. This is not
surprising, for Mr.. O'Donnell has quail
ties which enforce admiration from even
an enemy.
For the office he now seeks he is
specially adapted. Methodical business
ways, grasp of the requirements or
county affairs, strict devotion to me me
or has filed place him head and shoulders
above any candidate yet announced.
HE IS A DEMOCRAT.
From his earliest years he has been

past few years has had no small say in di-
recting the affairs of the, Democratie
the Assembly of this State in 1884, he
by his clear views and efficient service
attracted much attention from the State
leaders His devotion to the Democratic

In the Legislature he took an active part
in the County Democratic organization,
acting as Chairman of the County Com
mittee for many years. Later on he was
made Police Justice, and once more
demonstrated his efficiency-in the public
service. Since his retirement from that
office he has devoted his time to real
estate, in which profession his Judgment
and knowledge of municipal affairs have
proved of great value to himself and his
clientage.
Mr. O'Donnell will undoubtedly poll

doubt of that, the office of County Clerk
will be filed by one of the most capa

SOME FAMOUS sAPPHIREs.
One Found by Poor Man WHO Sold
wooden spoons.

One famous sapphire was found in Ben
gal by a poor man woh sold wooden
spoons. 1t was taken to Europe and
bought by the House of Raspoli at. Rome
Later it became the property of Ger
man Prince, who sold it to Perret, a
Parasian jeweler, for S31 500. 1t was abb
solutely without a blemish and weighed
176 caratS.
This stone eventually found its way in
to the Museum of Natural History at
Faris. A beautiful star sapphire is own
ed in New York, and two magnificent
specimens of this jewel in possession of
Burdett-Coutts are valued at $780,
Another in the collection of Mr.. Hope
is called the Marvellous Sapphire" be-
ing blue by daylight and amethystins by
night Among the crown jewels of Rus
sia is a magnificent sapphire repre-
senting a female figure enveloped in
drapery.
The stone represents two tints cir
cumstance of which the artist has skil-
fully taken advantage, to make the wo-
man dark and the drapery light. The
most remarkable stone of this kind IS
an engraved sapphire representing a pro
file of young Hercules, executed by
Cneius. 1t is in the Strozzf Cabinet at
Rome-JeWeller' Review.

A Tribute 10 Mcpherson.
From the Ne,Cdrk Eueninq Ne,Cs


Senator McPhersons hosts of friends
and his large political following will re-
gret his determination to withdraw from
the Senatorial contest. Mr.. Mcpherson
has enjoyed the rare privilege of repre-
senting an important commonwealth in
the highest legislative body in the world
for three consecutive terms, covering a
period of eighteen years. During this
long service he has held the almost
unbroken respect of his party, the fealty
of a constantly growing personal follow
ing, and the regard of his political op
ponents
many months. The long and exciting ses-
sions of the Upper House of Congress
characteristic of recent years have told
upon his strength and health The exac-
tfons of official life, the excitement con-
sequent upon the adjustment of political
issues dominating National affairs for the
last decade, and the pressure of private
matters have all conspired to reduce the
stock of vitality and the natural strength
of q man never robust. Hence Mr.. Nc
Pherson's determination to avoid the tur-
moil consequent upon contest for re-
election.
No doubt Senator Mcpherson well
weighed the situation and summed up the
difficulties to be surmoupted to secure
reelection to the Senate before deciding
upon his course. The Democracy is in
position of unrest. The Democracy of
New Jersey particularly is resentful of
the manner in which it's representatives,
or many of them, I'M Congress- tricked
them on tariff legislation, and they are
likely to give expression to feelings at
the polls. Senator Mcpherson is not in
the list of those who boldly and defantly
repudiated party platform and party
pledges in the interests of trusts and
other big combinations, but the feeling
dominating the rank and file of the State
Democracy is for reproof, If not revenge.
This feeling will be manifested at the No
vember election, and will no doubt result
in the seating of a preponderating Re-
publican majority in the State Legisla-
ture. To overcome this feeling, and to
snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat
Senator Mcpherson would be required to
erater upon a contest which would cover
every county of the State and involve
every Legislative and Senatorial district
in the State. He would have to do more
than that. He would also have to coun-
teract and overcome the Vaccinations of
branch of the Democracy inimical to
his candidacy and which has been long
engaged in an underhand work of de-
traction of his political and public SER
vices. The Senator, obviously, is not in
a condition of health to assume the labor
of such a battle. The knowledge of the
elements to be overcome has no doubt in
fluenced him in arriving at decision to
retire at the expiration of his present
term. The collateral knowledge of the
almost hopelessnesS of the Democratic
cause in New Jersey this fall had some
thing to do with the ultimatum

ROPER AT THE BAR.
Pooh Bah Of the SwindIing
Mutual Syndicate on Trial
for Fraud.

Oscar w. Roper, the Secretary, Mana
ger and Treasurer of the swindling Mu-
tual Land and Building Syndicate of No.
AZ Montgomery street, was placed on
trial in the Court of General Sessions
this morning upon a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, prefer
red by John ]. Renshaw real estate
agent and insurance broker of Plymouth,
Lucerne county, Pa. Instead of bringing
suit in the District Court Renshaw had
Roper arrested upon a warrant issued
by Justice Potts. Roper was given a
hearing before Justice Potts, who held
him for the Grand Jury
Rensilaw's story of his transactions
with the syndicate is pitiable one from
the fact that he lost his house and home
thereby His attention was first at
tracted to the syndicate by an adver-
tisement in a Pennsylvania paper, in
which the syndicate offered to loan large
sums of money, from FIVE to twenty
years, ait from three to three and a half
per cent. interest. He eagerly devoured
the bait and came on to this city.
ROPED IN.
He saw Mr.. Roper, who told him that
the syndicate had mortgages on lots of
property in this city. Roper also said
that the syndicate had a $4,000 mort
gage on the Weldon Building and that
the concern was unable to invest any
more of its money in this city and had
SIS, 900 on deposit in the Second National
Bank, part of which it would be willing
to invest in Lucerne County. This sum,
Roper said, was increasing rapidly as
the monthly payment of members,
amountin gto nearly $4,000 We're ac-
cumulating so fast that the syndicate
was finding it difficult matter to in
vest it's money. All this Renshaw ac-.
cepted as truth, and when Roper pro-
posed to him that he become the agent
for the concern in Lucerne County he
readily agreed.
ROPER GOT THE MONEY.
Renshaw then went home and doomed
the concern among his neighbors. Re
quests for loans came in thick and
fast and from all parts of the county
the farmers came, anxious to secure
loans. The monthly payments which
the syndicate required in advance and
which Renshaw collected from his neigh
bors amounted to $1,000. This amount,
together with $50, the payment on his
own loan, Renshaw sent on to Roper.
The loans which Roper promised how
ever, never came, and Renshaw's neigh
bors began to howl The explanations
which he made failed to soothe him,
and he finally had to sell his house and
home to make good the loss which they
sustained.
Ex-Judge Hoffman is the counsel for
Roper. The case for the people will oc-
cupy the entire day.
