SWEET LUCY WAS DEMURE.

But the Sedate Young Minister Found
That Appearances are Often Deceitful.
sedate young minister recently took up
quarters in boarding house in the Tender
loin district, says the New York Press. He
was delighted to find himself the onl gentle-
man at table where six young women lent
charm even to murky coffee and hashed aud
rehashed hash. He took them to church
with him on the first Sunday morning and
in the evening they sang gospel hymns for
i'm. He retired early that night and the
sound Of their voices lulled him To sleep; but
it did not seem to him that the song was
exactly gospel. However, lie had forgotten
the occurrence by breakfast time.
The next day some marks on the door OF
the back parlor attracted his attention
There were just as many OF them although
he did not notice that-aS there were young
women, varying in attitude from four and
one-halt to five and three quarters feet
Over each mark was capital letter; but
it did not occur to him that these capitals
were the initials of the young women. I'm
derneath the lowest line aud around all OF
the lines except the two upper ones-which
represented progress-was smudge, as
if former lines had been rubbed out in order
to make latef and higher ones.
The sedate theologue became very curious
about these MARKS he asked man Y questions
but the young women only teased him by
way OF answer, exciting his curiosity and
fascinating him all the more. 1t seemed to
him that young women of the city had more
charming ways than those of the country.
One of the six in particular, by name Lucy,
had won his admiration. She was the de-
murest of all, and she it was whom he took
to church alone and bought ice cream aud
candy wrapped up in boxes bearing gold
labels. Yet even she was proof against his
most subtle queries about the meaning OF
| those marks
What might have been the future rela-
tions between himself and Lucy If he had
not returned unexpectedly one evening
from prayer meeting no one can tell. The
| door of the back parlor was partly open and
| he heard a whisk of skirts and saw near the
toPnost mark on the door the toe of q lit
| tie boot-Lucy's boot.
His baggage was packed before he went
to bed.

and magazines and through the medium OF
the so-called comic weekly. The woman

Under these circumstances the delicious

Her most daring flirtations Will be regarded
with a lenient and inviting eye, and her
entire difference from the twentieth century

a welcome that must make her seasons

But the awful possibility has arisen that
this summer girl will partake in some meas

swept over the country since her exit from

that the summer girl that has charmed

COUNTER MOVE.
Proposed Incorporation of
Kearny Opposed by the
Township Officials,
WRIT OF GERTIORARI ASKED
Justice Lippincott Told That the
Incorporators Are Not Inhabi-
tants-Decision on Monday.

Recently the people in a portion of the
township of Kearny concluded that they
wanted borough under the act of the
last Legislature, and they began pro-
ceedings to establish one. Petitions
We're circulated and signed.
The government of the township OF
Kearny opposed this scheme vigorously
and today made application to Justice
Lippineott, through Joseph Parker Of
Arlington, for a writ of certiorari to re-
move the proceedings from the County
Clerks Office to the Supreme Court for
review. The portion set apart for the
proposed borough contains about one
third of square mile.
WOULD BE A DETRFMENT.
Counsellor Parker contended on behalf
of the township that the borough would
prove a detriment and take away a
large area of territory which has a large
bonded debt and relieve it from the pay
ment of interest. He also claimed that
the Clark Thread Mills Company and
Ballantine & Company had not signed
the petition properly and that many Of
the petitioners were not property own
ers. Also that some of the incorporators
who had signed We're not inhabitants of
the proposed borough.
ONE SIGNER WITHDRAWS.
The lawyer said that Jacob Stumpf
had sworn that his name had been
placed on the petition by statements
which he alleged are Misrepresentation
and that he wanted it withdrawn.
Further, counsel argued that the in
habitants of the portion of the town
snip did not represent one-half OF the
valuation within the proposed borough
and that the nonresident owners and
the women who had signed the petition
were not voters or qualified electors.
R. v. Lindabury n Elizabeth; for
James Jouel and otIEs, contended that
the petition mad been properly signed,
and that the law had been complied with
n every particular.
Justice Lippincott took the papers, re-
marking that he would give a decision
on Monday.

morning.
The only boat ready, however, was the
Vammose, and she found herself with
out a competitor. Referee A. ]. Ken
ealy, in the boat of the Vammose,
made search of the harbor for Judge.
At ten o'clock he learned that the Judge
left under full headway a short time be-
fore. Rex slipped a gear and was in

that Vamoose is the fastest boat, and
her owners are the only ones who care
for a contest.
Vamoose took in three tons of coal,
enough for run to New York, and pro-

would make the run in about five hours
It was later learned that Mr.. Arkell of

as the Rex had broken down. He said
he did not believe Judge could outrun
vanoose, but thok k,ehrI he could make a
