LAYTON, June 2.-Strolling players came
through here last Sunday with bagpipe
and flagielet. They trilled thespopular
airs of the day at each house. and furnish
ed very pleasant music. 1 have never
known them to play on Sunday before in
the country here. 1t was very nice how
ever, and we had ample leisure to enjoy It,
James Nyce, on account of i'll health, has
given up the shops at Centreville and
moved to Deckertown. This gives good
opening for blacksmith and wood work
er. An energetic and active man who
knew his business would be much appre-
ciated here, and would no doubt find plen-
ty TO do.
A friend who saw De Alton Dillistin cry
ing Abendroths sale Of horses last week at
Port Jervis expressed himself very strong
ly In praise of the auctioneers skin. 1 am
told that he held the crowd In splendid
shape, kept their interest, cracked Jokes
with them, and sold them horses at good
prices. We have seen him cry sales, and
we know he does not go mapping while his
employers interest Is at stake. but does
business all the time, and ON the square.
1t istold, hope as a joke that A. E.
Brainard, representing the Climax Road
machine Rock Crusher company offered a
few days ago TO accept the money that
Walpack township had raised for their
roads (abOut Ss00.) for which he would
work all their roads with Climax ma
chine, in manner satisfactory to the
town committee, and when done donate
the machine to the township in good or
de, and that they would not accept the
offer. If true---well---if true-Please
excuse me, but positively cannot find
language forcible enough to express my
surprise. The people of Walpack are
brainy, and intelligent to a high degree
and until ! get more light must believe
the narrative to be fake.
Miss Theana Owens is seriously ill with
the measles. Her many friends extend
their sympathy, and hope for an early re
storation to health.
A Centreyille gent is reported TO have
lost S14.O0 at a game Of poker in the brush
nearthe village a Sunday or two ago. The
same one has bucked the tiger before in
the woods below the town, but is supposed
to have been more fortunate then. Best
not punch up the animals too often al
that rate should say. We congratulate
the party who won, but have no sympathy
whatever for the loser. Wewould suggest
that in future it be given to the missionary
cause. 1t might benefit the poor heather
some at least

A SORE EYE.


Maher is Suffering From Temporary
Affection. and the Fight VIII BE POST
poned.
FL PAso, Tex, Feb. 14.-At s
O'Clock Thursday night the prospects
of the Fitzsimmons- Maher contest be-
ing pulled OF on schedule time Friday
were exceedingly dubious. This con-
dition of affairs is not due to the eff
forts of the federal state and Mexican
authorities to prevent the two men
from coming together or to any inabil-
ity on the part OF Dan Stuart to guar
antee safe battle-ground, but solely to
the effect that Maher is suffering from a
temporary afiliction of the eyes that
would make it impossible for him to
put up a decent showing in the ring.
About week ago, while taking n
morning spin at Las Cruces in brisk
wind, several PARTICLES of sand were
blown into his left eye, and later in
the day, while kicking foot ball in
his improvised tent, quantity of dust
was knocked from the roof into the
same member. The next day infam-
nation set in and the services of
local doctor were called into requisi-
tiou. The trouble, however, was OBJ
stinate and refused to yield to treat
ment.

A Variety in the House.

WASHINGTON, March ia vari-
ETY. of matters make up the pro-
gramme for the week in the house. To-
morrow is committee suspension day
under the rules, and several bills win
probably be called UP and acted upon.
among them the Oklahoma homestead
bill. The bill for the reform of the
administrative features of the tariff
law, which had been carefully formu-
lated as a result of extensive hearings
before the ways and means committee.
will be brought forward on Tuesday.
AS the administration of the customs
laws is largely a, technical matter, con-
corning which there is little general
information, the bill will probably be
passed in day unless general tariff
discussion is precipitated. This is not
at all unlikely in view of the present
activity in the country. The naval ap-
preparation bill will follow The
question of the expediency of adding
to the new navy is involved in this bill
and it's possibilities as subject for
debate are very wide. 1t is not be
lieved it can be disposed of this week,
but if by chance it should, the report
of the elections committee in favor of
unseating Mr.. Boatner from the Fifth
Louisiana district will be called UP.
