--------------------------- --------------- 4 SENSIBLE TIE IT.

1t is refreshing to note in New England such a broad and sensi- ble view of the present political campaign as that expressed by the editor of The New England Maga@iae in the current number.
 The editor of the Magaziae gives the Eastern people a pointed lecture on the folly of the abusive style of campaign prevalent East of the Alleghanies and tells them some wholesome truths about the move ment represented by the Bryan campaign.
 He regards the campaign as the most hopeful of any in American politics since the war, because it is a peoples campaign over a live is sue of vital concern to them. He says the people have taken the bit in their mouths and have thrown aside the machines which have di- rected the parties and the old DO. litical lumber which encountered the party platforms, and are fighting for real issues affecting their indus trial and social welfare.
 If the people of the East, he says, want their intelligence and patriot- ism to be of value to the country, they must recognize and study the real causes of discontent aud join hands with the people of the West in correcting the wrongs and abuses in our government.
 This rare view of the campaign from one of the opposition empha- sizes the fact that light is bi eaking in the East and that the wiser of the Eastern people are beginning to re- alize that the movement which cul- minated in the nomination of Mr.

THE GONG PARTY.

AS stated in our last issue, The
Gong party materalized last night
and Manager Whitley had one OF
his best summer cars decorated with
transparences for the occasion.
The car started from the stable at
$50 and the invited guest got
aboard at different points on the
line, as the car rolled over the
streets which it trlverses. The last
couple, we believe, being taken on
at the switch at State Line Avenue
and Broad street The car was as
full as sardine box, and the sign
Complete" was hung out and the
car rolled on toward Spring Lake
park.
The party had a club yell and it
sounded to the reporter like this;
as 1t came floating out on the night
air:

sumed and as the car reached
points nearest the abode of those
forming the party, the bell would
ring and as each couple left the
car the club yell was given as a
parting salute to loved ones gone
but not forgotten.
The party was a novel one and
much enjoyed by those who partici-

KEPT HIS SECRET sAcREDLY-


extraordinary Tenacity or d Crippled Com
Wet In the InGiana Penitsntiary.
At the northern Indiana prison re-
Gently an incident occurred when
shows with what tenacity man can
hold a secret, although the revealing o1
1t would involve no living soul, not even
himself, and would open the doors 70
liberty which will otherwise remain
closed on him for life.
William Green, hunchback, some II
years ago shot and killed one Enoa
Brumbaugh in fight over remark
made by Brumbaugh concerning Green's
deformity. Green made his escape, and.
although diligent search was made,
could not be found. Several years later
Green's brother, Amer, abducted anu
murdered pretty Luella Mabbett. the
daughter of well-to-do parents residing
near the Green homestead, in Cass coun-
ty, for the supposed reason that she
knew the whereabouts of Bill Green.
The body of the girl has never been
found, but parts of her clothing were
found in creek several miles across
the county line from her home. Amer
also escaped and was lost track Of
Three years later the brothers were To-
Gated in Texas, working on a cattle
ranch, Bill in the capacity of cook ami
Amer as cowboy. The deputy sheriff
of Cass county, who bad traced therr,
secured the services OF Texas sherl1f.
and after narrow escape OF being
shot with rifle in the hands OF Amer
Green the murderers were captured and
brought back to the scene of their
crimes.
The finding of Miss Mabbett's clothes
in Carroll county gave that county the
jurisdiction of Amer Green, and he was
taken there for trial. While he was in
the custody of the sheriff and his depu-
ties they were overpowered by mob
and Amer Green was taken where the
girls clothing had been found, bound
hand and foot, and with moose around
his neck he was placed on wagon seat
with the white-haired father OF the
murdered girl before him, begging to
know the fate of his child and what he
had done with her body. The murderer
refused to speak, and one of the mob
struck the horses which were hitched to
the wagon. and as they lunged forward
Amer Green fell from the seat, breaking
his neck by the fall.
Bill Green was tried and sentenced
for life in the northern Indiana prison.
MANY times has the heartbroken old Ia
ther begged of the crippled convict to
tell him the fate of his daughter and
the whereabouts of her body. Even at
the deathbed of Green's mother, where
he went from the prison to see her, he
refused to speak, and later, it is said.
the father secured the promise of the
Jurors who tried William Green to sigh
petition which, the authorities say,
would have secured his pardon, If he
would tell about the murder. But Green,
with bulldog tenacity, still holds the
secret, and prefers iron bars and silence
to liberty, which could almost be had
for the asking .-Indianapolis Sentinel.

HOW BODIES ARE PETRIFiED.
Lime Creeps Into the Pores as the Animal
Matter Decays.

Matter Decays.
In his second lecture on the "Archi-
lecture of the Earth's Crust" at the
Boston Society of Natural History
rooms recently, A. w. Graham accounted
for the petrifaction and preservation OF
mineral, animal and vegetable matter.
The shells of animals now found at ths
seashore will ultimately be buried in
the crust of the earth, which is formed
principally of eonglomerates, sand
stone and shells. All the fossil shells
that are so common in the cliffs along
the seashore were buried there before
the beginning of the present geological
period, while the cliffs were soft mass,
covered by water. During the process
of petrifaction of the sand the interior
OF the shells was dissolved, and there
remained an empty cavity, but gradu-
ally rain water penetrated through the
valves, carrying into the shell soft
mud, which hardened and assumed the
exact form of the interior of the shell.
Under some conditions the animal mat
ter, which is to be found in all natural
shells, decays, and gradually the pores
are filled with lime, and the shell be-
comes a true petrifaction. Again, the
shell may decay entirely, but the in
side cast, formed by the mud, cannot
be dissolved and new substance is
formed around the cast by the action of
the water. And as the mold flor so is
called the formation in the cavity oc-
casioned by the dissolution of the shelly
has received the exact outside impress
sion, there is formed true copy of the
original shell. Those counterfeit fos-
sis are usually formed by quartz, a
mineral composed of pure silica.
The lecturer showed specimens of
petrified shells, wood and vegetables,
some of which, he said, were thousands
of years old. While there are fossils
that are generally accepted as petrified
wood, there is, in reality. no such thing,
for the woody matter is ,decayed, par
ticle by particle, and is replaced by
quartz. The process is so slow and deli
cate that the character of the wood
may be noticed in the new formation
and one can tell what kind of wood is
was. Mr.. Graham showed pieces of
slate which, as could be distinctly seen.
were formed from ferns.-Boston
