Mayors Matinee.

The largest crowd that has
graced the mayors court for
many q day was assembled there
for three hours this morning, and
they were highly amused and ed
flied by the trial of r. s. Van
Pelt, who had been arrested on
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Tyler
and daughter, Mrs. Tompkins,
charging him with disorderly
conduct and breach of the peace
by trying, with others of "hot
mob, - as the ladies termed them,
to gain an entrance to her prem
ises on the occasion of the ball
game last Tuesday to recover a
ball which had fallen among the
"weeds, snakes and sand-spurs"
of the sacred precincts of the
yard Of the aforesaid ladies.
The testimony for both sides
was highly amusing and good or
der and straight faces were kept
under difficult circumstances.
The scene beat comic play all
hollow.
The original trouble began in
this wise: Mr.. VanPelt, with
many other spectators, went over
to Mrs. Tyler's fence to get the
ball, the little granddaughter
ran into the house, conveying the
startling information to the la
dies who were both i'll in bed, that
lot of men were climbing over
the yard fence. The ladies
quickly dressed themselves and
addressed the t'howling mob as
they termed the boys. With a
billet of wood, threats of a doc
tors bill to pay and some, as the
witnesses testified, epithets of a
highly amusing nature, prevent
ed the "mob" from gaining an
entrance. The ladies testified
that the boys with ringleader
VanPelt, hooted, jerred and
laughed at them and that the de-
fendant threatened to enter for
chilly and edo them both up" and
incidentally any police who might
be present, ard used blasphemous
and abusive language to them.
This the witnesses denied but
rather proved that his language
and demeanor was very quiet and
respectful and that he stood with
head uncovered while addressing
them. He was honorably dis
charged by the court, and the
crowd wanted to cheer but were
restrained.
There was quite an array of le-
gal talent. N. M. Alfred ably
conducted the prosecution and
and the eloquence of w. K. Ze-
wadski worked much in favor of
the defendant. G.. L. Sistrunk
and E. J. Davis assisted Mr.. Ze.
wadSki.
n. B.-The ball is still resting
among the tall weeds, from
whence the boys have the ladie' s
promise that it shall be thrown
when the roses bloom again and
the weeds are mown and the
sand-spurs baled into hay.

HEALTH NOTES.

Colds taken in summer or early aut-
umn are apt to be very troublesome;
they are usually easily checked in the
very Beginning by inhalations of good
eau-de-cologne. This have from the
best Of authorities. Cologne acts as a
germicide.
AS soon as q person feels the first
symptoms of cold in the head or chest,
let him inhale as vigorously as possible
good strong cologne several times
daily by the nose or mouth, or both,
taking 1t in sharply until It makes the
inside Of the nose and throat smart
well.
To test the dryness or dampness of
room put a lump of fresh lime in it
after Theoretically sealing up the win
dows and doors. II, on opening the
room, the lime is found to have alb
sorbed one per cent. its weight of water
the room is damp and unfit to live in.
That is, if the lime weighs ten ounces,
and absorbs one more, and weighs II
ounces when 1t Is taken out, the room is
damp one.
Great care should be exercised in the
giving Of opiate cough mixtures to in
fants, very young children and old peo-
pie, because in their cases there's al
ways the danger of accumulations CIV
ing rise to obstructions of the bron-
chial ramifications. The more abun-
dant the mucous secretions the more
important it is to be rid of them, and
for this reason opiate mixtures are
dangerous because too quieting.-

Roll Call.

The seventh annual roll call of the
Baptist church in this place, was held on
Thursday, Aug 26th, The day was pleas.
ant and the attendance large The exer.
ciSes of the day opened with praise
service led 10y the choir, followed by
prayer, by Bro. George W. Barnard.
The roll call then followed, the men,
bers Of the church responding to their
names, and those wi were absent re-
spending by letter.
At II o'clock the meeting adjourned for
thinner which was served in the vestry.
At 90 p. M, the meeting was opened
by praise service led by the choir, fol-
lowed by solo by Mrs. Converse of
Maiden, Mass, which was finely render
ed. The calling of the roll was then re-
sumed, and letters from absent members
were read, am >ng which We're letters
from Bro. George Coombs, of Sargeants
Bluffs, Iowa, L. A. Brooks and family
formerly of this town and now of Hart,
Mich. Also letter of encouragement
and good will from Mrs. Annie +. Fuller

Mr.. George Cressy of Baltimore, Md, i,
was present and made appropriate re-
marks.

was also present and gave some very ten
der "reminiscences of members of this
church, long since passed to their reward.
Also words of helpfulness and encourage
ment, all of which were appreciated by
those present.
feeling of sadness pervaded the
meeting, caused by the very serious ILL
ness of Dea. Josiah Pierce, who for so
many years has faithfully labored in the
church he has loved and within whose
portals he will probably never enter
again. Words of sympathy were spoken
for his family, and Dea. Rugg and the
Pastor responded in few words, to his
name.
Rev. II. f. Forrest and wife were pres
ent also and Mr.. Forrest made few ap-
propriate remarks.
We would not neglect to speak of the
choir whose effectiveness was greatly
enhanced by the presence of Mrs. Con-
verse, Mrs. Frank Howard, and Mrs.
Fisk. The meeting was brought to close
at 4 p. m. with the benediction from Rev.
Charles Coon.
The executive committee for next roll
call are Dea. E. F. Rugg Chairman, Mr..

LINEN FOR THE HOUSE.

There is no neater finish for sheets
than the hemstitched edge which di-
vides favor with buttonholed scallops.
All-white embroidery on colored
denim sofa pillows is appropriate. Bat
tenburg, Honiton and linen laces are in
favor for table and bed linen.
1t is said that If a tablespoonful OF
black pepper is placed in water in
which gray or buff linen is washed it
will keep the color intact
A design should be suited to the room
for which it is intended as well as the
article. Portieres. and bedspreads
should be embroid },ed in arnbesques,
scrolls and bold. conventionalized de-
signs that give greater effect Of rich
ness and dignity than would flowers
and birds.
Embroidered initials for tablecloths
are usually two inches In height and are
placed close to one corner. On napkins
they are not half SO large. On sheets
initials are placed just below the middle
of the top hem; on oblong pillow
above the hem on the middle of tlss
open end and in the center of square
slips.

The work of improving the outlet
Of Lake Morey, foi which an appro-
priation of $500 was made by the
Legislature last winter, has just been
completed under the direction of the
fish and game commissioners. After
making careful study Of the situa-
ton the commissioners decided to con.
struct pile dam, and operations were
commenced July u. Commissioner
Horace w. Bailey had charge of the
work, and F. r. johnson was fore

piles driven to hardpan and sluice
