MatrimOny in Kansas.

This morning an old man sixty years Of
age drifted into Police Court He was a
sorry looking spectacle. One side of his
face was badly scratched and bruised, his
left eye was infamed and the hide was al
peeled from one of his hands. He entered
the Police Court silently and stood waiting
for Judge Reynolds to observe him. For
when he looked up and saw the bloody
wreck, did train run over you?" Silently
and with an impressive manner the man
reached down in his pants pocket and pulled
out handful of gray hair, which had evil
IDENTIFY been torn ruthlessly from his head.
He quietly laid the CHASTITY trophy on the
Judges desk and then informed the Judge
that he wished warrant sworn out for his
wife.
The wreck was old man F. W. Heckroot,
who is married TO a muscular young wom-
an of twenty-five years of age. Heckroot
and his wife have had a number of pitched
battles in their time but she never before
gave the old fellow such a drubbing as on
last night. They had not been living to-
gether for some weeks. Last night she
came home and begged her husband TO let
ly consented. She had promised to be good,
and he thought she meant Ii. After they
had been. together eAAS short time the
Ratchet was dug up and hostilities were re-
sumed The old man was Vanuuished, and
this morning he appealed TO civil authori-
ties for protection. The wife was arrested
and fined 81 and costs, 80 in all. Then the
Judges tender heart failed him and he did
not enforce the fine, but holds It suspended.

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON'S COUNSEL.
Wise and Sound i'm Regard to the New
York Campaign.

York Campaign.
New York Evening Sun.
We undertake to say that the citizens of
New York who would regard a Tammany
triumph in this municipal campaign as a
calamity are all one in their respect for e&-
President Harrison. His personality, his
experience in public life, his patriotic serv-
ices to the Nation during the war of the
rebellion and in the chief magistracy have
words are heard with the profoundest
attention when he believes it to be his duty
to give advice. 1t matters not whether a
to elect General Tracy mayor or
has been led off by the will-o' -the-wisp of
nonpartisanship to fancy Seth Low the bet
ter candidate, he cannot fail to give heed
to ex-President HarrisonS counsel. He has
spoken His reluctance to give advice to
the people of New York about their local
government is evident in the carefully
meditated statement of his views which is
published to-day. Only a strong sense OF
nent citizen and recognized Republican
leader as he is, to speak in the heat of q
local campaign But whenever duty has
called General Harrison has never been a
laggard.
In deprecating the Low movement as mis-
guided and advising Republicans to support
rison looks far beyond the present contest.
With him its national aspects are control
ling, as they must with every thoughtful
voter. 1t would be different If the Repub-
lican candidate were a man of unknown
character and doubtful ability. but it is not
too much to say that General Tracy, in the
qualifications required in a mayor for the
Greater New York is the peer OF any Re-
publican in the land. 1t is General Harri-
sons opinion that the st. Louis platform
is an issue that will not down this cam
paign. 1T is folly to say ne remarks
that the business men of this Greater New
York are not to take account of the
influence the election may have in
the further fight that is to be
made before the advocates of reputation
and disorder are dispersed" George pro-
claims that his canvass is the beginning Of
the presidential campaign of 1900 and Tam
many has put an I'm compromising Bryan
Democrat at the head of its ticket to at
tract the silver vote. 1t would be downright
the Low schemers would have as DO 1.-THE
imbecility to misread the danger signal, as
business men of New York. as General
Harrison says. have right to make sure
that the issue of this city contest is not
such as to weaken or dirorganize the sound
money forces throughout the coun-
try" That would naturally be one of the
results of Van Wyck's election. Lows
election is, of course, out of the question;
even the most infatuated of his supporters
are beginning to realize it. Republicans,
no matter what their sentiments are must
ponder the advice of General Harrison He
is speaking from his head as we'll as his
heart. He is out of politics. with no dis
position to return to public life. His is the
advice of the experienced man of affairs
and the Steadfast unselfish friend of the
best interests Of the Nation

LOWS SPEECH.
Seth Low made three speeches on the East
Side one night this week. Two Citizens
Union attaches and several reporters went
with him. The first stop their cabs made
was at a Yiddish meeting. There were 200
of them jabbering away in the dirty, greasy
room when Mr.. Low entered. He wore kid
gloves, carried a gold-headed cane in his
left hand and a fall style silk hat in his
right so he wouldn't have to shake hands.
'Fellow-citizens and bulwark of Greater
New York." he started, the irrelevance OF
platitudes should be alienated in this mo-
mentous revolution"-the hearers must
have thought Low an Anarchist, for they
hurrahed and yelled something that sounded
like Lobster soy!' Lobster soy! Low
cane No one hit him momentous revolu-
ton against the Vaccinations of unscrupu-
Ions demagogues." The audience couldn'
understand this university rhetoric, but got
the idea that Low was saying something
bad about their synagogue and yelled,
"Glaboslick!' "Glaboslick!
A ward politician who was along slipped
up to the nominee and said: Cheese ii,
old man. Give EN- something easy. They
can't swallow yer gum. "
Low didn't understand this, but he knew
what his adviser me- mt, so he got down as
near to T-ront-street talk as he could, which
wasn't very near. Then each of the audi
ence was given a cigar and Low and the
party was breaking up Mr.. Low remarked
'Gentlemen politics is -" Hell" sug-
gested his companion. THANK YOU" said
Columbia's president, smiling.

tee meeting on Thursday and decided to
build a new barn at probable cost of
$1,000, and remove the old buildings to
the rear of che AlmshOuse. This is to be
a modern structure and intended to
supply the needs OF the County for some
years to come. The committee also de-
cided to buy. at an early day, wagon
cite for the more delicate patients.
They also had a report from the special
list from the University of Penna. who
diagnosed the cases under treatment
which report agreed entirely with the
dignosis made by the house physicians.
The Committee will report to the board
at the meeting when it is probable his
services will be added to those already
engaged.
The Committee also accepted the work
from Contractors Dolan and Maxwell
of the new water mains laid for fire pro-
lection and the Institution is now in
good shape to fight fire should it occur.
The committee also authorized the
building of coal bin to hold 100 tons
of coal at probable cost of 500, also
gave contract to VIM. E. Lee of Absecon
for 100 tons of coal for the winters sup
ply. Besides the full Committee there were

Drowned at Pitman.

Mr.. and Mrs. David Dawson, OF
Atlantic City, received sad news on
Sunday afternoon when q telegram
arrived announcing the death OF
their second Oldest child, William K.
sHe was visiting his grandfather at
Pitman Grove, had attended the morn
ing services and in the afternoon was
persuaded to take a bath in pond with
some friends about a half mile below
Pitman at place called Alcyon Park.
He was taken with cramps about halt
way across the pond and sank to the
bottom. His body was recovered in a
few minutes afterward and everything
done to bring him to life but without
success. The young man was very
bright, and intelligent and was employed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad as time
table distributor. He was well liked by
all in whom he came in contact. His
father, Mr.. Dawson, is Baggage Agent OF

adopted without opposition.
Mr.. knauer offered a resolution con-
cerning certain delinquent taxes which
was referred to the Finance Committee,
Mr.. Kelley submitted communication
from the Board of Health containing
thirty-five complaints. Some of them
dated back to July 16. He thought it
strange that the Board should keep them
so long and make no report. If that
was their way of doing businessit would
not be long before the city would be in a
bad sanitary condition.
Ordinance No. 124 transferring money
from the Board of Health to the Prop
erty Committee was put upon it's third
reading and passed.
Comptroller Heston reported the num-
Der of lights out on Pacific avenue and
the Boardwalk for the month of July at
ninety-one.
Mr.. Kelley said he had kept a close
watch and had made a personal investi-
cation, and the number was 21O. He
did not think the city should pay for
lights which it did not have. He moved
that payment be withheld until the
police could account for the discrepancy
in the number of lights reported burning.
Motion carried.
The City Hall Commissioners then
submitted plans for City Hall, and
Council went into a Committee of the
Whole, Mr.. Ham, presiding, to consider
them. The plans call for four-stOry

SUNSHINE ON ACLOUDY DAY

tured at Oceanvi1le.
Impossibility is almost thing of the
past. Years ago when the rain-maker
first began his work, when ice was first
manufactured by artificial process, such
inventions seemed almost Incredible; but
now it has been learned that sunshine
can be had on cloudy day. This will
be disputed only by those who failed to
attend the Sunday school rally in Con-
overs Grove at Oceanville last Thurs
day. The morning dawned with q heavy
canopy OF clouds overhaDgiDg, but the
sunshine makers had their organization
perfected or in other words, all the
Sunday schools from Smiths Landing to
Port Republic had made preparations
for "gala day."
The committee had the grounds in
readiness for the occasion. Early in the
morning the stars and stripes were
hoisted to the breeze. By nine O'Clock
delegations began to arrive and kept it
up all day despite northeast wind aud
heavy mist.
The committee had depended on the
sunshine from above, but Prof. Riley, in
anticipation of disappointment had &C.
cured the services of the Port Republic
orchestra, with camp meeting songs and
excellent speakers. The favorite music
seemed to be the one entitled Sunlight,
Sunlight in My Soul To-day" When the
clouds would thicken Brother Riley
would call for little more sunlight and
it always came. They seemed to even
forget they were holding umbrellas over
their heads.
The exercises began at 10 O'Clock with
selections of music and speaking by Prof.
E. d. Riley, Rev. Gilfllan and Mrs.
Holloway.
Then came general emptying of din
ner baskets in old fashion picnic style,
followed by various amusements, row.
ing, swinging, copenhagen and many
other sports.
Every one seemed surpired to see such
a gathering under such unfavOrable con-
ditiOns of the weather.
After about two hours of enjoyment,
the beautiful strains of the orchestra
caused the seats around the speakers
stand to be filled again, then came short
addresses by Watson Conover, Rev. j. L,
Watson and Rev. L. D. Stultz, mingled
with music (eunlight) from the choir.
Rev. A. j. Gregory was called upon, who
in neat way, said he thought the peo-
pie were already well fed, and that he
did not wish to cause Indigestion, this
made a pleasing impression. The Or
chestra was given rising vote of
thanks, then with "three cheers for Bro.
Riley" the crowd dispersed. Such an i'm
preston was made on the promoters of
the movement, that another rally was
at once mentioned for next summer.
