A Woman of Nerve.

There are some women i'll Hunterdon
county who are possessed of nerve.
The High Bridge Gazette has found
one, and this is its account of her:
MRS. Nathaniel Skinner lives in a
secluded place near Rocky Run school
house, and is very estimable lady
Last Wednesday while she was en-
gagged in her household duties strap
ping big tramp appeared ut the door
and demanded TINT the oyerplus from
the last meal be produced for his
benefit.
Mrs. Skinner did not have time to
wait upon the visitor just then, and
plainly told him SO, whereupon he
threatened to burn the barn and build
ings, and to kill everybody in the Rock
Valley. Mrs Skinner thereupon start
ed for the gun and the tramp started
for the road. Whom she got outside
the house the tramp had good start,
but she gave chase. Handicapped as
she was with the gun, she could not
overtake him, and after chase Of
quarter of mile she gave it up. The
tramp was badly frightened, however,
and may be running yet for all We
know. Mrs. Skinner says she would
have shot at the outlaw only she wanted
to bring him down.
"A man who witnessed the race from
II distance. says it was the greatest in
the history of Rocky Run. "

ply a struggle and final failure. Had the
Peoples Party carried out that famous dec
laration, Wealth belongs to him who
creates it," they would have declared for
the abolition of this present capitalist sys-
tenn. which is producing world wide misery.
And II the Peoples party had so declared,
there never would have been any fusion or
attempt at fusion. The pie-hunters would
never have joined the p. P.'s, and the party
would have been stronger without them.
Europe has furnished an illustration. The

All these sums Were to be paid by

at the specified dates. From the fact
that the petitioners bonds, which are of
the class that fell due on the first day
of February, 1883, were still unpaid on
the 18th day of February, 1895, we must
infer either that he had neglected to
present them at the proper time and re-
ceive payment out of the funds pro-
vided for their redemption or that there
was no money in the special fund prior
to the time Of their presentation apple
able to their payment.
The former superstition would be fatal
to petitioners claim to interest and we
are justified in assuming-what is in
deed a notorious fact attested by the
various cases above cited-that the fund
provided for the payment of these obli-
cations proved inadequate to their dis
charge as they fell due, and that the
coupons payable in January, 1888, had
only recently been taken up when pay

manded; they being next in order of
payment.
