ONE SPORTSMAN'S AMBITION,

ing about from city to lumber camp
and from park to forest. "Iwould like
to own a schooner fit to weather any
gale on the seas and travel in it up and
down the American coast from Labra-
dor to Cape Horn and north again to
Being strait. There's whole lot of
odd places one could visit seldom or
never heard of.
''Take it about Cape Hatteras. Now,
what do you know about the mainland
alongshore there? What can you tell Of
the people in the swamps there and Of
the game these people find in the
woods? It's SO little, you have to guess
at it. Then there is whole lot Of the
gulf Of Mexico's shore line, not to men
ton the islands and lands south of there.
Why, only the other day I heard Of a
tribe of Indians on some islands some
where down that way that buy buckshot
to kill deer with and poor shotguns,
using only a dram Of powder for a
charge. Just think what sport fellow
with a good rifle would have among
them-if they'd let him. What is more,
they pay for what they buy with pure
gold, and if ever white man visited
them he did not come back to tell about
it, nor will the Indians say where they
got their stuff
"When you come to think ebout it,
the sportsman nosing about in these out
of the way places could get more game
and curiosities than he could get out of
Blue Mountain park or from any other
IF the big preserves.
II hope to make just such trip some
time. I'll take a 1890, 10 gauge,
20 gauge and a target pistol, with stacks
Of fishing tackle Of all kinds and no end
of ammunition. The specimens I will
gather will pay for the trip, as I shall
go along prepared to skin and dry any
thing from tapir to a crocodile, from
condor to a beetle, not to mention
snakes and other things. New York

there are more silver spoons and knives

the contrary is generally believed. The
stopper is generally an hour or so ahead
of the garbage collector, and he is often
more regular and careful in his rounds

bidding the master Of the house to enter

the Greek chlamys, but that is because
even architects, furnishers and wives do
not dare to be wholly consistent. Mean
time the multimillionaire escapes from
his Gothic library and thinks how in
appropriate it is to read Dickens under

to be understood by the words ''soul''

who have been spending hours, days and
weeks exploring and investigating in the
bottomless ocean Of electrical mysteries,
and who have arrived at some startling
conclusions. That such thing as ar
atom Of electricity exists has been be-
lieved in by a number of eminent cleo
tricians and philosophers, among then
the honored Helmhostz and our OWL
Thomas A. Edison.
Working on the theories advanced by
the former, Professor Richarz, a vel

some experiments in that line that have
startled even the electricians-menw who

from the sea to the mountains and
measuring 20 miles in length by from

from 40 to SO feet in height, some of
the largest yielding nearly so pounds of

Green vile Turner's Give the Eouns-

The children of the gymnasium classes
of the Greenville Turn Verein were given
an outing to Currie's Woods, on the New
ark shore yesterday.
A crowd of about one hundred and fifty
boys and girls assembled at the Turn
Hall at two O'Clock in the afternoon and
formed in marching order. Headed by
the Greenville Drum and Fife Corps,
they marched to the grove. 1t was a
pretty sight to see the girls all attired in
their dark blue gymnasium costume,
each carrying Indian clubs, and the boys
in gray, with caps to match, with dumb
bells.
They were accompanied by the Ladies'
Section of the Verein, which took so great
pains to plan the affair and make every
arrangement for the enjoyment of the
youngsters. They served luncheon at the
grove and presented prizes to the VIM
ners of the various games, which were
held during the lay
The fun was we'll under way when the
dreadful shower arose, and the dancing
pavilion was the scene of much merri-
ment for the succeeding hour or two.
They returned to the hall about eight
O'Clock in the evening, where anxious
parents awaited them.

The Commissioner of Public Instruc-
ton of Hoboken held a melting last night
that was made long and weary by much
petty and acrimonious discussion. It

and he moved to substitute her name in
place of Ryan's in the committees re-
port. Mr.. Seitz said she was not capa-
Phalcn angrily retorted that she was
capable, and asserted that Naylor had
been bounded to death. On a vote the
report appointing Ryan was adopted,
Messrs. Russ, Hicks, Nichols. Rue and
Kennedy voting for it, and Messrs. Kerr,
Seltz and Phalon against 1t.
The the list of applicants for the posi-
tion of Janitor of No. 2 was read. The

SAYS HER HUSBAND rs INSANE
Ex-FreeEoIder McDonough Sent 70
The City Hospital TO sober Tip.

Ex-Freeholder Michael
who conducts a saloon at No. 70 Beacon
avenue, was arrested early yesterday
morning ON complaint of his wife, who
charged him with being a dangerous
lunatic. He was locked up in the Oak
land avenue police station until this
morning. when he was examined by Drs.
Brinkerhoff and Henry.
The physicians thought McDonough's
case was more of drunken deiir.um
than an unbalanced mind, although they
were not prepared to state officially
whether he was insane or not. Mrs. Nc
Donough told the doctors that her hus-
band had 9, mania for getting up in the
middle of the night and smashing every
thing in sight.
MdDonough was an inmate of the
county insane asylum about four years
ago, but was discharged as being cured.
He has been a heavy drinker since then.
and he leaves the drink alone
for a while he CTS a crazy fit. He was
sent to the City Hospital for treatment.
as the doctors decided the right kind of
treatment would fetch him around.

STOLE THE woRKMEN's TOOLS.
Business Mems Club Entered by
Burglars Last Night.

Another of the mysterious burglaries
which nave startled residents on the
Heights for some time, occurred last
night. While the amount procured was
not considerable, still in effecting a scare
the burglars We're very successful.
The place visited was the clubhouse of
the Business Mems Cycle Club, which is in
the course of erection on the corner of the
Boulevard and Duncan avenue. The
building was started some time ago, and
is now almost completed. AS is the case
in building a house the carpenters upon
leaving for their homes last night left
their tools in the building, and all de-
parted leaving the door securely fastened
with a lock.
This morning upon the arrival of the
men at the clubhouse, it was discovered
that the door was opened, although it
gave no evidence of having been forced.
So the police snrmise entrance was eff
fected through the aid of a false key.
Upon the discovery of the open dor an
investigation was started, ard the men
were told to look to their tools. They did
so, and one by one they found their tools
had been tempered with. One missed q
been taken, and altogether the burglar or
burglars had secured a complete set of
tools.
The police were notified, and Captain
Cox. of the Seventh precinct, detailed De
tective Larkins to the case. No clue
could be obtained from the building, ana
boring cities will be searched for the
tools.
IT is quite likely that the Business Mems
Club will take the case in hard and
prosecute the thief or thieves if caught.
The total amount of property stolen will
amount to about twenty-five or thirty
