PEACH FESTIVAL AT EMERY.
Fruit. Music and Eloquemce Make
HI Evening Pass Pleasantly.

A peach festival was given at the
Emory Methodist Church last night un-
der the auspices of the Ladies Aid So
ciety, for the benefit of the church fund.
The parlors were tastefully decorated
with bunting, as were the various ta-
bles and booths.
The homemade fruit table was looked
after by Mrs. L.. D. Fowler and Mrs. j.
5. Eckert. At that table could be
bought all kinds of canned and pre-
served fruits. The fruit, where could be
purchased all the various kinds of ripe
fruits, was in charge of Mrs. Isaac Van
derbeek and Mrs. George Kemp.
During the evening there was singing
and speaking, between each of which re-
freshments were served by a bevy of
pretty girls. Those who had charge of
the refreshments were Mrs. M. A. Moore.
Mrs. J.. Winalt, Mrs. George Mitchell,
Mrs. William Ingoldsby, Mrs. John S.
Clark, Mrs. George La Forge, Mrs.
Stevens and Misses Ella White, Lillian
Mitchell, Carrie La Forge, Ella Clayton
and Anna Osborne.
The social was enjoyed by a large num-

the ladies in charge being well pleased
with their efforts. A neat sum was re-
allied from the sale of the goods, a
quantity of which were auctioned off
at the close of the evening.

A NEW USE FOR THE TELEPHONE

There is a story in the newspapers,
which seems to be intended to be taken
seriously. about the telephone news
paper which has been working success
fully for two years al Pesth, Hungary.
1t is called the Telephone Herald, has
1000 subscribers, costs : cents, and issues
% editions daily. A special wire 1853 miles
long connects 1t with it's subscribers, in
whose houses long flexible wires permit
the receivers to be carried from room to
room. AT the office of the journal ten
men with strong voices take turns IN
talking the news into the telephones.
This modern Journal makes all its de-
l~iveranceS to It's subscribers according to
a stated schedule. which let's them know
day. 1t gives them the telegraph.c news
duly and carefully edited, the local news.
articles on various subjects, and what
ever other newspapers have. When there
is nothing more important to communi-
cate the subscribers are entertained by
vocal and Instrumental music, sometimes
discoursed for their especial benefit,
sometimes gathered from concert halls
or churches where music is going on.
If all this really happens at Pesth, and
not in the 100 Pesth must be the finest
place for illiterate, blind, bedridden, and
incurably lazy people In the world. 1t
would not appear, however. sthat a telt-

i~yastating to the faculties than Il modern

Letter from Lincoln to his closest
friend, Joshu Fry Speed, subsequent to
the latter's marriage, betray an anxious
and impatient desire to learn if marriage
is a pathway of flowers and sunshine,
and not of darkness and pain the two had
morbidly feared it to be. John Gilmer
Speed presents these hitherto %unpublish-
ed letters bearing upon 'Lincoln's Hest
fancy to Marry in the October Ladies'

says:

Eight months after Mr.. Speed married
Mr.. Lincoln wrote him:
But I want to ask a close question:
Are you now in feeling as well as judg-
ment glad that you are married as you
are?' From anybody but me this would
be an impudent question not to be tolera-
ted; but i know you will pardon it in me.
Please answer it quickly, as 1 am inn
patient to know"
Mr.. Lincoln's object. in asking this
"close question" is manifest. Mr.. Speed
gave the answer quickly and satisfactory
lily, ard on the fourth of November QS421,
one month exactly after the question had
been submitted, Mr.. Lincoln was married.

MISS PULLMAN'S DUTY.

Many complaints have been made
from time to time about the high
charges levied4bonI travellers using the
Pullman car services and several times
there have been threats of introducing
legislation to regulate such charges un-
der national law governing railroads,
placing Jurisdiction under control of the

Miss FLORENCE Pullman, daughter of
the head of the company whose mar
rage, with a foreign ,nobleman OF cues
tionable antecedents has been repeated
ly and as often denied, ac-
cording to the Pittsburg post, draws
a salary of $4,000 a yea for naming the
cars. In the performance of her duties
Miss Pullman evfnces a decided prefer
ence for names which sound eupho-
niously, and which have a soft and mu-
steal quality. Most OF the names of the
cars are eft Spanish origin They are
taken after the names of countrys,
rivers. historic towns battlehelds, flow
ers, and geographical names miscella-
neously selected, and none are named
after men. Such names as Guatemala,

Narcissus, Sweet Brian. Geranium, May
Bells and other floral favorites are COM
anola and the names of States are also
common. GermNania, Italy, Egypt, ETC.,
are often seen.
There is a fine discrimination display
ed in the naming of cars designed for
special service, as, for instance, dining
cars are in all instances named after
celebrated cooks, as Savarian, md the
cooks of famous men and women. There
are cars named after the cooks of Queen
Victoria ~CFrancatellD and of Emperor
William of Germany. the President of
France and noted chefs of mention in
the literature of cookery.

SON AND FURNITURE GONE.
Mrs. DIR. Richter GoasA Away Leavin:
Husband Nothing Ruf Hare Walls.

Mrs. DIR. Richter Goes Away Leaving
Husband Nothing But Bare walls.
A sensation has been caused in Hoboken
by the sudden fight of the wife of DR.. H. J.
Richter, a prominent dentist, doing bust
Reichter's disappearance is undoubtedly due
to a series of q~uarrels covering a period of
about two years,
While it was known that relations between
the husband wife were somewhat strained,
it was not surmised that they had assumed
such serious proportions.
Reichter a few days ago called at Police
Headquarters and asked that an officer be
sent to his home and eject an adopted son,
aged eighteen years. The dentist said that
the young mans presence in the house was
distasteful to him. Detective Gallagher
went to the Reichter domicile and Mrs.
Reichter stoutly refused to nave the young
man removed and spat several times in her
husbands face in the presence of the officer.
On Tuesday last Reichter went to New
York. When he returned to his home he
found nothing but bare walls. Wife,
adopted son and furniture were all gone.
Reichter went to the police station n con-
suited Chief of Police Donovan. He was adj
vised to procure the services of a detective
and locate the runaways.
The dentist has engaged two Hawkshaws,
and last night they ascertained that the
missing woman had gone to an address in
Willow avenue. She has not yet been To-
Gated. Mrs. Reichter is young and vivacious
while her husband is middle aged and in
clined to-a quiet life. The couple were mar
a1ed about four years ago.

HOBOKBN OBJECTS.
Refuses to Pay Twice to the
County Treasury-Free-
holders Make Awards.

A little breeze arose in the meeting
of the Board of Freeholders yesterday
at their regular session. 1t came about
when Freebooter Riordan. Chairman OF
the Finance Committee, offered this reso-
lution:-
Resolved, Tha the Board be author
lied to borrow, in anticipation of the col
lection of taxes for the fiscal year COM
mencing December /, 1894. and ending No
vember 80, 1895, from the different towns
and townships of the county by the
County Collector, the sum of $75, 466.31.'
Appended to this was a resolution au-
thorizing the Board to borrow this sum
necessary to pay county expenses.
Freebooter Heating opposed the resolu-
ton because Hoboken had already paid
up it's assessments. and that city refused
to pay its share of the interest if the
money had to be borrowed.
The debate became interesting, some of
the financiers insisting that the money
was due from the townships to the county
treasury.
Probably, but Hoboken doesn't owe a
cent, and l don't propose that she shall
pay any interest to cover what Others
should lave paid up" ~
The Hoboken freebooter won his point,
and the resolution was lost. AS, however,
the money is necessary to meet current
expenses, in all probability it will pass
next meeting.
TO EXAMINE SUPPLIES.
This resolution met a better fate, and
went through after a brief introduction
from Freebooter Bindernagle.
Resolved, That the Committee on Store
mouse n lncidentals be authorized to
carefuily examine the list of supplies
needed Tor county purposes.
CHANGES OF GRADE
Three applications were made for a
change OF grade on the new County Road
IN the Town of Union and the upper
part of the Branch"
Charles III. Dards wished to open two
streets near to Tower Hill avenue and
he promised to put in the sidewalks and
curbs in an. efficient manner
Another change was proposed at Wee
hawken on the Branch" covering 1.2OC
feet. This would do away with building
a retaining wall and simplify the drainr
age of the road at that point.
Finally the North Hudson Land Com
pany wished to change the grade in the
same vicinity. Engineer Harrison APP
authorized by the board.
