The Captains Wounds.

At a particularly intense part Of
the battle of Round Mountain, Union
captain stood beside his horse scan
ming the field with his glass and direct
ing the troops. He says it seemed as
if the fire Of the whole Confederacy
was centered on him, the bullets were
so thick around him Suddenly he
heard a minie-ball singing in the air
and be felt something strike his leg.
But the occasion was urgent, and he
kept up his glass There was another
"ping-g-,.: and he felt another strike.
And so it continued Finally, the
battle was won. With long-drawn
sigh, the captain turned. He shout
ed to his orderly at little distance.
I'm wounded, jim Come and
help me on my horse l must go home.
It's my last battle.
NO, guess not, replied the or
derby.
whats the matter? Come, hurry
up, I'm wounded,
IF you want Inc to help you, come
here sang out the orderly.
But what's the trouble? Why
can't you come here? Don't you see
I'm wounded and almost dying?
ooh, no, YOU are not, sang out the
orderly.
Come here instantly, YOU rascal,
shouted the commander
"No, don't; that's the biggest
nest of yellow Jackets that l ever
saw in my life, was the laughing
reply of the orderly.
The storming swarm of hornets
were the only minie-balls that had
struck him.

How Hindoos Hoard JeweIrY.

Never during its existence has India
been so rich in jewelry as now. The
people are always adding to their
stock. Savings from nearly all sources
are disposed of in this way, and these
savings are being constantly made
often at the expense of clothing, some
times at the expense of greater neces-
saries of life. The making and the
storing away of wealth in this form Is
the national. popularity of the coun-
try.
Jewelry is regarded as the most
stable kind of wealth, and fortunes
are never counted without estimating
the value of the stock Of jewelry. 1t
can always be pledged or disposed OF.
The market for its sale is never closed
and never depressed. The most igno-
rant native who wishes to sell piece
of iewelry knows its market value
quite well. He can scarcely be cheat
ed.
Jewelry forms the greatest factor In
matrimony. The most lowly bride
has her stridhan, which is OCCASION
ally equal in value to five years IN
come of the bridegroom. There is
often scarcity of clothing, sometimes
a scarcity of cooking pots, generally
not particle of furniture, but nearly
always a stock of jewelry. The wife
that has no jewelry possesses nothing
else; she cannot be robbed. The fami-
ly that does not have jewelry is abso-
lutely INDECENT.

Pearls of Thought.

The down grade greases itself
Respect is more than reverence.
a man is known by the company
he would like to keep.
The silver lining is always on the
wrong side of the cloud.
The man who is a failure seldom
claims to be a self-made man.
a woman is never as old as she
looks, until she doesn't look it.
Civilization is rapidly doing away
with the survival of the fttest.
Don't hit a man when he is down {;
it is much easier to step on him.
No man can reap everything he
sows, or sow everything he reaps.
There are times when every man
realizes that he has too many friends.
We would rather take our chances
as the father of lies than the mother
Of gossip.
When a woman puts "two and two
together the result is always more

Few young women can resist the
temptation to alter the spelling of
their first name.
Don't worry too much about getting
up in the world. Not every hill is
worth climbing.

some trouble and led her TO the police

novel VOTING CONTEST
At the Quartette Club Fair They
Are Balloting for President
Bryan Ahead.

The ladies who have charge. of the fair
of the Hoboken Quartette Gu now be-
ing held in the clubhouse on Washington
street, nave introduced a novelty which
is creating considerable interest in Hobo
ken. This is a voting contest, in which for
five cents a ballot a man, woman or child
can vote as often as he pleases for any
of the Presidential candidates.
If the result of last nights balloting is
any criterion there is going to be a close
vote in Hoboken between Bryan and Nc
Kinley. As soon as the fair opened in the
evening the polling place was the scene of
great excitement and activity. Coroner
Volk, the originator of the idea, presided
at the ballot box and rang a little bell
which he had beside him, and would call
out, 'sThis way for the best show on the
beach," and make similar remarks. This
would bring a large number of voters
most every time. Men and women crowd
ed around to get their friends to vote for
their ~favorite candidate. AS the votes
were cast the result would be displayed
on a bulletin back of the ballot box
There was a continuous string of people
coming and going to watch the result on
the bulletin board.
Nearby storekeepers would run in from
time to time to see how the contest waged
and some small bets were made on the
In the early part of the evening Bryan
took a perceptible lead and held i for
some time. But Mckinley gradually
gained and at ten o'clock Mckinley was
pushing Bryan very, hard. Al eleven
O'Clock the vote stood as follows:-06 for
Mckinley. 10l for Bryan and 2 for Palmer.

came IN at this hour and his vote IN
creased McKinley's majority.
Mckinley kept the lead for some time,
despite the h~ustling on the part of Bryan
ties to best him. Just before the close of
the fair for the night a coterie of Bryan
followers arrived, after a eanvass of the
ueighborhood, ana their votes pushed
the silver candidate away in the lead.
At the end of the nights contest the vote
stood 206 for Bryan 1853 for Mckinley and
9 for Palmer.
The candidate who receives the greatest
number of votes at the close of the fair
will be sent an engrossed set of resolu-

PRISONER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
William McLsughlfn, of Newark,
Found Hanging In His Cell.


William H.. Mclaughlin, of No. 80 Cedar
street, Newark, attempted to commit sui
last night in a cell in the Seventh
street police station. He was arrested
in Pavonia avenue early in the evening
for having in his possession a set of
harness. He refused to say where he got
1T and acted in such an ugly manner that
he was locked up and charged with being
a disorderly person. An hour after his
arrest the Newark police notified the
police of this city that Mclaughlin was
wanted in Newark for the theft of the
harness.
About half-past ten o'clock Sergeant
Toppin happened to go back in the cells
and he was Mortified to see Mclaughlin
suspended from an iron rod which runs
through the top of the cell. He opened
the door, cut the would-be suicide down
and summoned medical assistance. Res
toratives were applied and Mclaughlin
was all right in a short time. Why he
attempted to end his life he would-fot
say, but it is supposed by the police that
he is afraid to return to Newark to
stand trial.
When brought into court this morning
he seemed, penitent. He said he had moi
stolen the harness, but he refused TO. saw
where he got it. He is to be turned over
TO the Newark authorities this afternoon.

Isaac S. Taylor took occasion to say
This is a conspiracy and the whole

That is as big a lie as Mr.. Taylor is
capable of" retorted Alexander Simp-

why counsel for the defendant should
waive examination and take from us the
opportunity to prove our case. w can
