sensntion In NYashlneton.

WASHINGTON. Feb 4.--The reported
kidnapping Of the officers Of tho United
States steamship Concord at Chin Kiang
in China, reached Washington at too late
an hour last night to permit it to be in
quired into in naval or diplomatic circles
No news on the subject has been received
by any of tho government officials.
The situation created profound sensa-
tion this morning. and unless later reports
show that the captured officers are at lib
erty other vessels will probably be hurried
TO the scene. Knowing the excited condi-
tion Of the Chinese at the present time
and the way in which they are likely to
deal with prisoners. there will be great
anxiety until the safety Of the party is as
sured
A court martial will probably follow, as
the policy of the United States govern
menT is to require unusual care in such
cases. "A few years ago a lost torpedo from
a United States warship was exploded by
some japanese who found it on the beach.
One Of them was killed, and though the
Japanese government declared it held the
officer Of the warship blameless there was
a court martial. and the officer was So
verely reprimanded
The Concord is twin sorew. steel gun

4. Craig and has q complement of 13 offi-

kiang last Friday. The vessel was built
at Chester in 1888 and has a speed of II

The reason the native American girl

that service is the sole employment In

with impunity that she is the social
inferior of anyone else, says a writer in
Scribners. It is the telling which she
cannot put up with. 1t is one thing to
be conscious that the person you are

bicycle Riders. Reware.

Howard Gaskill, was the first to be
arrested for violating the bicycle ordin-
ance passed by the Borough Council last
October. Gaskill in the early part of
April last was racing against time down
the sidewalk near the barber shop of
Robert M. Willis. He ran into and
knocked Edgar L. Risley down and in
jured him about the mouth, loosing .sev-
eral teeth and cutting his lip. Gaskill
did not stop, but rode away as fast as
possible. He was recognized by An
thony Robinson and Theodore Hackett
Robinson met him several days after and
Gaskill admitted that he ran into Risley.
He claimed it was accidental. On Tues
day last Risley and his father, Nathaniel
Risley, appeared before Joseph C. Farr,
and asked that warrant be issued for
the violation of the ordinance. A COM
plant was drawn up and signed, and the
warrant placed in the hands OF Marshal
Ambrose Smith, who found Gaskill at
his home. He was brought before the
Mayor and after hearing the charge,
Gaskill pleaded guilty. The Mayor
stated the object of the ordinance, and
after warning him to be careful in future
fined GaskIll S. and costs.

High Priced EE&tS.

Probably the highest price ever paid
for eggs in Atlantic County was that
paid by Captain Henry Boice, a W esdthy
resident of Absecon, who, on Friday
last, paid $123.55 for 54 eggs of the
mud hen variety. He had been taking
the eggs from the nests on the meadows
in violati of the State law, and was
taken captive by Deputy Game Warden
Jones, who found the eggs in his posses
sion. He was arraigned before Recorder
GouIdy and fined $50 for each nest dis
turbed- He admitted having visited six
nests and drew his check for $12O like a
littls man and also paid $3.55 for costs,
braas;ing the total up to $123.55 or a
traction over two dollars and twenty
eight cents apiece. This makes mud hen
fruit pretty expensive eating, if you
really get the eggs to eat; but in Mr..
Boice's case he didn't get them. He
only paid for them and the Warden kept
the eggs for evidence of the tresspass.
1t is to be hoped that this Will be a les
son that will be needed by those who are
disposed to defy the law.

The Epworth League.

The semi-annual convention of the
Epworth League of Atlantic County as
sembled in Salem Church last Friday
evening, and delegations were present
from Atlantic City, Hammonton, Mays
Landing, Port Republic, Absecon, Brig
antine, Landisville. Rev. Alfred
Wagg, of Hammonton acted as the pres
ding officer and DR.. Samuel Johnson of
Absecon, as Secretary. After a service
of song by the choir and congregation,
Rev. Mr.. White, pastor Of the Central
NJ. E. Church of Atlantic City, delivered
an able address, explaining the purposes
of the League, and urging more united
and earnest effort in the literary depart
ment. He was followed by Rev c.
Ogden, who possesses the rare faculty of
illustrating his ideas with rapidly drawn
pictures. Mr.. Ogden gave very forcibe
reasons why the League should lead III
literary work and direct the reading OF
the young people. We live in an intellec-
tual age, he said, and our young people
should read from the great authors and
leaders of thought, and learn something
of what has occurred in the his
4ory of the world Books of all
kinds are wonderfully cheap, and if good
books are not wanted bad ones will be
in demand. 1t is the duty of the church,
through the League, to SO direct the
reading of the young that they may OBJ
tain the greatest benefit at the least cost.
There is lack of interest in literary work
that he hoped to see remedied at once.
Mr.. Roberts of Hammonton read u
paper Points on literary work." and
Rev. Mr.. Jaggers conducted the brief
Conservation service. The Committee
on nominations recommended Rev. Mr..
Wagg for President of the County
Leagues, and Rev. Mr.. Jaggers for
County Organizer. After hearing indi-
vidual reports from the different Leagues
the convention adjourned about 1870
