SEVENTH WARD DEMOCRATS.

The Seventh Ward Democratic Club
met last evening in Waukner's Hall,
Boulevard and Greenville avenue. The
attendance was very large, more than
fifty members being present. The club is
making all the necessary arrangements
for. the fall Campaign, and last evening
several committees were appointed to
look after the different branches of the
work. The members are all confident
they will carry that ward in the coming
election, and all are going in for hard
work to accomplish this end. Something
was also said about making arrangements
for holding a ball this fall, but that will
be decided later.

Patrick Noonan,s Wife Swears He
Only slapped Her.

Patrick Noonan, a longshoreman, of No.
60 Adams street, Hoboken, was tried in
the Special Session Court this morning,

happens in nine cases out of ten, when
Mrs. Noonan swore that on the date of
the alleged assault, August 81, her
husband came home a little intoxicated
and gave her a little slap. 1t didn't hurt
her, she said, and she was in the heat
of passion when she made the complaint.
She wants her husband back because he
is the only support of herself n her
children.
Lawyer Weller who appeared for
Noonan tried to get the woman to say that
she slapped her husband first, but she
wouldn't go as fas as that. Noonan got
on the stand and swore that he never
slapped his wife and that he never beat
her before.
H says he never beat his wife before,

NATURE MOCKs AN INFTDEL.

Seed Answers u Dying Countess'
Challenge to God.
In the town Of Hanover, in Ger
many, there is buried German count
ess who denied the existence of God
and riGiculed the idea of the resurrec-
ton. 10 further show her contempt
for Christianity, she ordered that on
her death her grave should be built up
of solid masonry and covered by large
stones bound together with iron
clamps. On this tomb was engraved
her defiant challenge that through
eternity this tomb should never be dis
turbed.
EBut.one day the seed from some tree,
either blown by the wind or carried by
some bird, became lodged in small
crevfce of the tomb, where soon it
sprouted and began to grow. And
then, as if nature had seemed to mock
the naughty infde1, she quietly ex-
tended the delicate roots of that seed
ling under the massive blocks OF stone
and slowly raised them from their
places. And now, although scarcely
four generations are passed since that
tomb was sealed, that most insigniti-
cant Seeding has accomplished what
God himself was challenged to accom-
plish.-Ladies' Home Journal.

The Malfneerer Caught.

A soldier in Dublin was suspected OF
malingering during the spring drills.
He declared he could not raise his
right arm above the shoulder for ex-
tension motions, owing to rheumatism.
He was ordered to see the doctor, who
made him stretch his arm out level
with the shoulder.
The doctor then suspended two
weights from his arm, and the man,
being somewhat proud Of his muscle,
said he could bear heavier weights
still, so long as his arm was in that
position. The doctor then quietly got
a razor and suddenly cut the string,
and up flew the arm above his head,
rs high as any extension motion re-
quired.-Edinbugh Scotsman.

"a Black. Hole in England.

The story of the Black Hole of Cal
cutta is familiar to all the world,
writes Walter Besant. I wonder how
many people have heard Of Black
Hole, almost as tragic, which played
It's dreadful part a great deal nearer
nome. 1t was in the year 1903 that
certain militia regiment, known as the
Somerset Fencibles, then stationed at.
Jersey, was discharged. The men,
naturally, were anxious to get home as
soon as possible. The quartermaster,
therefore, among other arrangements,
agreed with the skipper of small
craft of 36 tons, named the John and
Elizabeth, to convey 120 of the men to
Southampton. The quartermaster ap-
pears to have made no kind Of enquiry
as to the fitness of this small craft to
carry so many passengers, nor as to
possible contingencies in case of over
crowding or bad weather. He only
stipulated that the boat should take on
board a supply of water sufficient for
the voyage, which, in those days of
sailing vessels, might possibly take
several days. The vessel received her
passengers. Two small casks of water
were put on deck for their use These
were naturally finished in few hours.
long before the vessel reached Guern-
sey. There they took in a little more
water, and set sail to cross the Chan
mel. But gale arose. It was neces-
sary, at least the skipper said so, in
order to navigate the ship, that the
narrow decks should be kept free. They
therefore, forced the whole of the men
100 Of them!-down below into the
tiny hold, dark, and without ventila-
ton. They then nailed down the hatch
way. This done, they paid no heed to
the stif1ed cries and the knockings of
their miserable passengers but kept
them down below, in that crowded hole,
without air, light or water the whole
of that night. In the morning, when
the storm abated, they opened the
hatchway and let out all who survived.
Out of the 120 men who went down
alive into the hold, there were fifty
seven dead. Of the rest, some were
delirious and raving, some were dying.
OF this awful tragedy, this night of
suffering unspeakable, not much no.
tice was taken; the captain was tried
for murder because one body showed
bruises, but the case broke down; the
quartermaster, who was, as far as we
can understand the story, wholly re-
sponsible for the calamity, escaped
without SO much as an inquiry or the
censure of the jury, or court martial
