as plant does when it Is taken from the
pot which cramps its roots, and reset in

In telling his own story he says that
later on, meeting one of his Old perse-
cutors on the street, the latter held out
his hand to the now tall, strong lad, with
the generosity of a man who forgives the
in iury he has done" But Dumas refused
the hand, remarking: "My excellent
friend, I am now taller than you by a
head; if you ever speak to me again will
break your back.
At the time of the boys birth the elder
Dumas was in the house of the Duke OF
Orleans, admired for nothing except his
beautiful handwriting, and earning barely
enough to support his mother and himself.
On these lines he had no desire to support
a son besides. But later on when his re-
markable novels began to clear the way for
a substantial income, he willingly recog-
nized the boy. Mirecourt tells Us an in
te-estipg anecdote OF the circumstances.
1t seemed that Dumas CHANGED one day to
surprise the boy absorbed in book which
the latter, finding his father was by,
wished to conceal. 1t was the famous
book known as Emile"
"What the devil do you find so interest
ing in that?" demanded Dumas.
"a great deal" returned the lad with an
unusual degree of assurance. II find that
Emile was very courageous"
"Indeedl do you think so?''

SCORED BY THE PASTOR
A Young Woman Who Taught
Dancing Gives Ofense to
a Preacher.
Denounced as Fool and a Tigress
During the Progress of a
Sermon.

CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. 24.-Some of the
members of the First M. E. Church are
deeply grieved over what they say was an
uncalled-for announcement of an esti.
mable young woman by Rev. DR.. J. B.
Graw. pastor of the church. The young
woman's offense consisted of teaching her
younger sister and several of her girl
friends the art of dancing.
Miss Carrie Mead is one of the members
of the Broadway M. E. Church. A few
weeks ago her sister Edna, a girl Is years
of age, asked Miss Carrie to teach her and
one or two of her young friends to dance.
Miss Mead consented, and her dancing
lessons began. Last Sunday night Miss
Mead accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Murray,
the parents of one of the young girls she
was teaching. to the First Church, and had
the misfortune of hearing herself de-
nounced in flaming language.
In the course of a sermon directed
against the theater and dancing and other
terrible evils, Rev. Dr. Graw said he had
heard of young lady who had formed
dancing class, and was taking the pure and
innocent children of the Sunday school
and teaching them the terrible thing. He
likened such young lady to the tiger,
with its soft, smooth fur and its deadly
claws lurking beneath. Continuing in this
line the preacher said:
"If that young lady is in the congrega.
ton, all have to say is that she is fool"
Miss Mead was so astounded that she
could scarcely speak after the meeting, but
since then her brother, Alfred Mead, has
taken the matter up, and says DR.. Graw
has not heard the last of 1t by any means.
The preacher said he had no apology to
make. At public meeting in Camden on
Thursday night last DR.. Graw took occa-
sion to speak OF the incident. He said he
had been called upon and told that he had
made an error, "but so long as live," he
said, ~ shall preach the truth"

4 .STRANGE GOKKRNOR.

Owing to an apparent lack of compe-
tent accountants who are American citi-
zens, the governor persuaded one Chal-
Tenor, a subject of Victoria, to take out
naturalization papers and thereby be
qualified to accept position.
The governor advocated in his message
the abolition of the board of public
works. Owing to some mysterious influ-
ence, when the board was about to be
abolished, the governor changed his
mind and urged that the board be pro-
vided with the breath of life-funds
The state house appropriation which has
been available for use since March goth,
lies idle in the treasury because the
governor wants the board of public
works to handle these funds. The law
however is so plain covering this appro-
priation, that about every one, except the
attorney general. knew that the funds
were to be expended under the direction
of the executive council The attorney
general has given two opinions on the
subject, one favorable to Mr.. Leland. So

other and the later one in line with the
stipulation in the law itself, that the
money for completing the state house
shall be spent by the council.
The governor could not learn of any
existing newspapers of standing that
could be used in publishing proposals
for state work, so an unknown humorous
weekly periodical, without circulation
and just within few days of the legal
age of one year, was named. The STATE
JOURNAL. not applying for this work.

Il was intended that the committee
composed of NJ. Snattinger, 7. Bow
man and E w. Benedict would report on
the water works question at the meeting
of the Municipal league tonight but the
committee was unable to com plete its re-
port and the water works will be dis
cussed at the next meeting. Instead of
the report of the committee W. G. Cam D.
bell will read a paper reviewing Albert
Shaw's book on Municipal Reform in
Great Britain.
The plan of the league to furnish the
unemployed of the city with lots for
farming purposes is not meeting with
the support anticipated. There are a
great many owners of vacant lots who
would be willing to give the use of the
property for the season if personally re-
quested to do so, and a committee will
probably be appointed tonight to solicit
vacant lands.
So far there has been but one applica-
ton for lots, and that was made to Secre-
tary Campbell yesterday. The applica-
tons will be filed and the lots donated
will be apportioned among those who are
worthy.
The donations received so far are as fol-

Grover Cleveland as possible candidate
for the presidency next year. In the
event of the nomination of free silver
man in the Republican convention, Mr..
Cleveland, as the Democratic candidate,
could undoubtedly command the support
of the John Sherman wing of the Rspub-
lican party. It is not long since Andrew
Carnegie said he would rather support
an out and out free trader than a man
opposed to the gold standard and Chaun-
cey M. Depew said in an interview in

NEW YORK. April 3.-Rev. Charles
Kane, D. D., late chaplain of the Brook

to be dying of pneumonia in England.
Rev. Mr. Kane has had an extraordinary
career. He won fame in the navy dur
ing the civil war. After the war, while
his ship was quartered in Jamaica, he
caught yellow fever, and died so far as
appearances went.
He was placed in coffin, but althoug b
apparently dead, he saw and heard
everything that PASSED. After eight
hours in the coffin he sat up, to the hor-
ror of the colored man whose duty it was
to keep watch over him.
Some years later, while in Norfolk
navy yard, of which he was chaplain, he
appeared to die the second time, and re-
manned in cataleptic state for 4S hours.
