"A town in Connecticut strews it's

splitting a fine point to detect the
difference. Those over-prudish

the humidity is at it's maximum,
and there is sudden fall of tens
perature. If the humidity drops at
the same time with the tempera-
ture there Is decrease in the
death rate. His advice is: "Be
most cautious of the cold, humid
days that Immediately follow the
warm, humid days." More careful
clothing by day and covering at

HOW A GREAT STORY WAS
WRITTEN.


The history Of any great and
successful undertaking is always
interesting, therefore at the risk of
beng accused Of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers Of
the origin of a famous story OF the
late war. The publishers OF the
Chicago Ledger wanted story
which, besides being a love story
of great merit, should vividly de-
scribe the thrilling events of the
battle of Gettysburg and the siege
Of Richmond. One author after
another failed in the work, and at
last the famous st. George Rath-
burne was approached on the sub
ject. He demanded a fabulous
price for the work, but it was paid.
and the story was actually written
to order. 1t is, however, printed
under the pen name of "Hugh
Allen" 1t is declared by critics,
who have been shown the advance
sheets, to be the best story of the
war ever written. The first install
ment of it appeared in No. 8, Vol.
xiii of the Ledger, and at once at.
tracted the greatest attention. A
private letter from the editor Inc
forms US that IN order to reach all
classes of people, the publishers of
the Ledger will mail the opening
chapters Of the story free of charge
10 all who send their names at
once. The Ledger is a great paw
per, and each week gives story
matter enough to make dollar
book. Address

TRENTON. March %. 1S95.-The dying
hours OF the great corporation Legcsaa-
ture last night were very peaceful. An
attempt to slSylark and repeat the dis
graceful scenes of last year were pronnpt-
ly checked by Speaker Cross who, when
he saw book of laws go sailing through
the air and catch an unsuspeetfng legis-
lator abaft the nose, directed the Ser
Feant-at-Arms to arrest any member
throwing paper of books and bring him
to the bar of the House.
Order prevailed thereafter and the bust
ness proceeded until the calendar was
cleared in a most orderly fashion.
The last half hour of the session fhe
Assembly resolved itself into AN old fash
ioned Methodist love feast. Resolut;one
were adopted thanking the Speaker. of
ficers. leaders Storrs and Usher. tho

Bonnell. the current printers and everv-
body else that could be Thought OF. Thfu
there was 9. hush of expectancy as Mr.

encrusted gold watch, chain and charm
and a handsomely carved ivory e,ayei. : :
Speaker Cross was vis.bly affected as
ne accepted the gift and when he re-
had sustained with ALL the members q nd
said the ohe fact that gave him Greatest
joy was the knowledge that every man
on the a floor Of the House was his psr-
sonal friend, the applause was prolonged
and the members led by Mr.. Olco t. gave
three hearty cheers for Speaker Cross.
The gift business was continued BY q.
