every doll mother is so lavish or if pater-
familias Wrinkle cuddles the wee Wrinkles
in his arms before bedtime, or should Mrs.
Wrinkle greet her friends effusively, Skip
accepts the act as a deliberate slight and
lifts UP his voice in a peculiar whining
bark that is at once a protest and a sup
rlication.
One night last week there called at the
Wrinkle cottage two young people in whose
careers the Wrinkles are much interested.
One of them is a young professional man
who has already we'll established himself,
and the other a bright North Side girl at
whose shrine many hopeless youths have
worshipped. These two had been negthbor-
hood friends for years, but none of the
neishborhood gossip had ever been atle
to determine what the future Of the pair
was to be.
After chat Mrs. Wrinkle stepped into an
adjoining room to hunt up a sample OF a
new shirt waist and Mr.. Wrinkle, in the
temporary absence of the Venus who pre-
sided over the destinies of the Wrinkle
kitchen, wandered out to the refrigerator
to see what he could find in the way OF
cold drink. They were hardly out of the
room before their ears were startled by
''Skip's" sharp voice raised in Jealous pro-

ORANBERRIEs BEGIN TO COLOR
On Some Eogs the Berries Have
Been Iniured by EIOOdx

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News."1
TUCKERTON, Aug. q, 1s97.-Cranberry
growers are beginning to size up the
crop, and in this section the general con-
sensus of opinion is that the crop will be
but fair. Some berries are beginning to
color UP, and some of them are almost
full grown, while others are only just set
ting. Stafford Forge bog at West Creek
is reported to ave a big crop. The big
Berkeley township bog was never in bet
ter shape than this year. Around Whit
ings some growers say they will have a
short crop. OF course, all expectation of
good yields are based on the continuance
of favorable conditions and the absence
of scald frost and other cranberry de-
stroyers.
Many growers around Toms River, New
Egypt, Golfers Mills, New Lisbon and
other places are complaining that their
boys were flooded during the recent
storms and the berries much injured, rot
ting badly.

Hay GROWERS TROUBLES.
An Abundant Crop, But Impossible
TO H~arvent

Especial to THE Jersey City News."1
SEA SIDE PARK. Aug. q, 1Ss7.-Salt
hay growers along Barnegat Bay are
in anything but a joyful state OF mind,
Notwithstanding they have one of the
largest crops of salt hay that they have
seen in many years. The trouble with
them is that they have been unable to
harvest their abundant yield.
Ordinarily the hay is cut in July or
early August, but this year, while the
growth of grass has been abundant, it
has been impossible to harvest it. The
continued southeast winds backed the
ocean water into the inlet, flooding the
meadows, and, with the heavy rains,
made the lands so spongy that moving
machines could not be used on them.
Many of the salt hay growers will not
try to harvest their crop, and those Who
have cut their hay have had most OF
it spoiled by the tides while 1t lay cur
ing.

DEATH OF SISTER MARY RAYMOND

Sister Mary Raymond, who died on
Tuesday last. in the Dominican Convent,
on First street, was a graduate of ST.
Johns Parochial School, this city, where
the Dominican Sisters teach. AS Miss
Ellen Tegerty, she made many friends,
and when school days were over she sig
nifed her intention to become a Dominic
can nun. Two years ago she took ner
final vows and was fully professed.
Shortly after her health began to fail,
and she was sent to the Convent at Caid-
well. but returned without gaining the
strength she so much desired to
assume the full duties of a sis
ter. A few weeks ago she began
to fan rapidly, and on Tuesday
morning the end, peaceful and happy,
came, surrounded by all the sisters pray
ing for their departing friend. On Thurs
day morning a solemn mass of requiem
was said in st. Boniface's Church, and
every seat was occupied. h interment
was in the Dominican Sisters plot in
the cemetery on West Side avenue. Six
young ladies', connected with the church,
dressed in pure white, acted as pail Dear
ers. and they were accompanied by two
sisters, representing the convent, who
sorrowfully n silently watched the
body of their late companion laid to rest.

HORSES FOE EUROPE.
Over 200 Sent Out Today-Prospecta
for the Year.

for the Year.
The expectation of horses to Europe has
become a vast enterprise in this country
during recent years. The numerous inven-
tions In motive power AVE thrown thou
sands of horses on the market and in the
western part of the country they can be
purchased at very low figures. Horse deal
ers nave now turned their attention to
European markets and find a comfortable
profit in selling their stock on the other
side of the Atlantic. At noon today the
Hamburg-American steamship Palatia
left Hoboken with 200 steeds consigned to
various European cities. All the horses
are sold. They were shipped by A. P. Hex
amer of Hoboken, who is one of the
largest horse dealers in this part of the
country. Last year Mr.. Hexamer shipped
5000 horses to Europe and this year he ex-
poets to transport $4,000.
At six o'clock this morning the work
of putting the horses aboard the steamer
was commenced and a large number of in
terested persons were on the pier to wit
ness the operation. The gallant steeds
were driven out on the dock and one by
one were placed into a narrow box stall
The stall was attached to a derrick and
was hoisted into the hold of the ship in
less time than 1t would take to tell it.
OF course the horses became frightened
and some of them kicked, but the enclos-
ure was so narrow that they could not in
jure themselves. The 200 head were all
placed ON the second deck in narrow
stalls. They will have to stand up during
the entire trip. 1t is necessary to make
the stalls narrow to prevent the occu-
pants from being injured by the rocking
of the ship at sea.
Nearly all the horses are of Kentucky
breed and. are robust and healthy looking.
Onehof them, a big bulky fellow, weighs
2, 250ypounds. Another trained polo pony
is consigned to a Mr.. Forbes, a well
known English polo player. In the lot
are also three Shetland ponies, consigned
to Count Celistino Piva, at Castle Val
dabbladene in Italy. One of the ponies is
named Prince of Wales, and has taken a
of prizes in the United States and
Canada. Count. Piva visited this country
weeks ago. He sailed for Italy on
the steamship Fuerst Bismarck which
left Hoboken last Thursday. Before leay-
ing he visited Mr.. Hexamer's stables. on
Hudson street, and saw the ponies. Their
beauty attracted his eye at once and he
decided to purchase them. The ponies
will be transported to Count Piva's castle
and will be used for the amusement of
