wagon of Grocer Simonson, of Greenville,

Bring into court Philip Boehm for
sentence" said Justice Lippincott this
morning to Constable Zeller, and a few
moments later the man who killed his
brother. Adam Boehm, on August II,
last,i in West Hoboken. was led in between
two constables. The fratricide is a mid

not guilty of murder in the first degree,
and pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Stand up, said the Court, and the
prisoner shufI1ed on his feet and glared at
the Court. You will be confined in the
State Prison for a period OF ten years
and from thence until the costs of pros
ecution be paid. Take him away" said
the Court. and Constable Joe Locke hur,,
ried the prisoner back to the jail. He will
be sent to Trenton on Monday.

A JOKE ON PAsTEUR.

A good story of the late M. Pasteur
being told in Paris. He was dining with
his daughter, her husband and their
family one evening in their country re-
sidence in Burgundy. Cherries formed
part of the dessert, and the savant ate
a good many, taking care, however, to
dip the fruit well in a glass. of water
and then to wipe it thoroughly dry be-
fore putting it to his mouth. His scru-
pulous care caused mild laughter at the
table. whereupon Pasteur gently re-
buked his relatives for their indifference
to the fact h the eIteriors Of
NAL and invisible microbes. He then
launched forth into a long argument. to
prove the existence of the unseen animal
culae, n wound up by advising his
hearers never to touch fruit without
washing it. A few moments afterwards
the savant, who had fallen into one of his
fits Of abstraction, suddenly seized the
the glass in which he had washed
the cherries and drank the water and
the microbes contained therein at a single
draught.-London Weekly Telegraph.

AN ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java Has One of the Strangest Won
ders of the World.


The greatest natural wonder in Java, If
not in the entire world. is the justly cell
eprated 'Gheko Randka Gumka," or
Home of the Hot Devil" known to the
world as 1.-THE Island of Fire This geo
logical singularity is really a lake of
boiling mud, situate at about the center
of the plains OF Grobogana, and is called
an island because the great emerald sea
of vegetation which surrounds it gives it
that appearance. The island is about
two miles in circumference, and is stu
ated at a distance of almost exactly fifty
miles from Solo. Near the center of this
geological freak immense column of
soft, hot mud may be seen continually
rising and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands and then again quickly
withdrawn.
Besides the phenomenon of the boiling
mud columns, there are gigantic bubbles
of hot slime that fill up like huge bal
looms. and keep up a series of constant
explosions, the intensity of the detona-
tions varying with the size of the bub-
BILE. In time past, SO the Japanese au-
thorities say, there was a tall, spire like
colrme of baked mud on the west edge
of the lake, which constantly belched a
pure stream of cold water, but this has
long been. obliterated, and everything is
now a seething mass of bubbling mud
and Slime.-Exchange.

PRACTICAL JOKE ON THE COURT

Judges Hudspeth and Kenny had a
small scare yesterday afternoon. They
had been holding court in Justice Lip

CORNELL STATISTICS.

Statistics have just been completed CIV

The compilers have attempted to dis

During the past summer it has been
found necessary to build an addition,

What is of particular interest is the
difference in style between the women
entering the university today and those
who entered years ago. Those entering

good scholars, and to develope their
minds, as were those of earlier times.
Otherwise there is a vast difference.

Finally rotten eggs and all sorts of litter

work, however, and at the close was es-
corted to the nearest boarding house by
policement to prevent harm being done him.
He left town on an early train this morning.
