HUE HAD NEWS FOR TIER.

Il tell you it isn't safe for a man to
leave home nowadays" grumbled the
man-on-the-corner to another man.
Since my wife got mixed up with so
many clubs-art clubs, literary and mu-
steal clubs-kindergarte lotteries and
the like-she has so much to attend to
and so much to talk about to other wO-
men that she actually forgets that she
has any domestic responsibilities. My
wife told me last night that she was
sitting in our library early in the morn
ing, deeply immersed in club converse
ton with an intimate friend, and they
heard the door bell ring. She knew
that cook was very busy and the sec
ond maid was out on an errand, but
she was so absorbed in her club talk
that she decided not to answer the bell
herself. Again it rang with emphasis
so then she went to the shutters and
looked out, only to see at the door the
back of a roughly dressed man. She
concluded that he was only a peddlel
or beggar, and went back to her pro
foundry intellectual friend. A third
time the door bell rang, AID this time
with energetic and sustained violence
Goodness, hear that man. my wifi
said to the other club lady Nora il
out and IN have 10 go and see what hi
wants. or he will break the bell S,
to the door she FASTENED, feeling yer!
indignant with the peddler who was 81
, persistently disturbing her peace. Sh

a volley OF rebuke on the mans head

q citedly:

GET TO WORK.

One month remains in which the
party leaders may work upon their fol-
lowers to register. October % being
the last registration day 1t follows, as
a matter OF course, that the parties
will lose the benefit OF the votes OF all
who are not at present registered and
who do not avail themselves OF that
last opportunity to qualify. The same
painstaklng care should be exercised
in getting these dellnquents to regi-
lister that would be exercised to get
them to vote II they were registered.
It Is estimated that not more than sixty
per cent. OF the voters OF the county
are registered. This leaves forty per
cent. to be looked after on the last day.
TO get them on the books there must
be earnest, intelligent and systematic
work. It should be begun Immediately
and every man who has failed tc
qualify should be seen personally and
the duties OF the hour explained &c
him fully and fairly. If this be done
we believe that there will not be more
than ten per cent. OF the voting popu
lation unqualified when the registra
ton finally closes.

FIRE IN TRENTON JAIL
ALL THE CONVICTS WE'RE RE-
LEASED AND PLACED UNDER
STRONG GUARD.


STRONG GUARD.
Trenton, Sept 22.-Fire broke out in
the new cook house Of the New Jersey
state prison about midnight. The
flames spread to the storehouse, in
which is kept all the clothing Of the
prisoners and the surplus supplies OF
the prison, of which a large portion
was burned and the rest damaged by
Water. The loss is about $4,000.
The entire fire department was called
out and after one hours hard work
subdued the flames. All the prisoners,
numbering about 1900, were released
from their cells and massed in the
south wing under a strong guard. Great
excitement prevailed for some time.
The fire started in the second story,
and is thought to have been caused by
an exploding lamp. A special detail OF
fifty policemen guard outside OF the
prison. The cook house was recently
built and has been occupied about five
months.

LOOMS TlAHkEN ALIVE

The article in the Sun descriptive Of
characteristics OF the loon, prompts me
to repeat an experience of mine with
those wary birds. In the year 1882, be-
ing engaged in railway construction in
Newfoundland by an American syndi-
gate, was camped at a little place
called Lance Cove, on the shore Of
Conception bay. One beautiful Sum-
mer evening, as l returned to camp to
dinner, l noticed two looms on a small
lake close by, and, after satisfying a
rather extensive appetite, took a 70
bore shotgun and a few wired S. S. G.
cartridges and proceeded to the lake
side. A glance showed me that there
was not sufficient cover to warrant
hope of a successful shot. After try
ing two, without result. and on rising
to go back to camp, / was met by five
or six men from a grading gang, also
encamped there, who asked me
IL l desired to get the looms.
1 replied that if tEe cover
was good l could probably get one, but,
as it was, had no hope of doing so.
One ofthem-and subsequently learned
that they belonged to Smiths Sound,
Trinity bay-replied that if / wished
they would get the looms for me. Hav-
ing heard Of the remarkable skill OF
these Newfoundland fishermen in
shooting seabirds, seals, ETC., with
their enormous muzzle-loading guns
my curiosity was aroused as to tbs
method they proposed to employ, think
ing, of course, they meant to shoot the
birds. 1 at once assented to the pro
posal, and the men Immediately pro-
picked up an armful or two of small
boats that were at the side Of the lake
l was astonished at the noisy man
ner in which this was done, and more
so at the subsequent proceedings. AT
ter the boats were afoat each mar
picking up an armful or two of small
stones, and placed them in the bow
of the boat. They then got in anC
showed off. One boat pulled direct 70
the birds and the other in another di
rection. or course. on the approach
of the boat, the birds Owed, and afte
little time came up not far from tn
second boat, from which one of tn
men at once threw a stone, sending tn
birds down instantly Both boats agail
pulled away in different directions
and in little time the looms agar
came up not far from one of the boats
and were again instantly driven dow
by the use of stones. This was repeatc
again and again. After a little tim
/, the birds began to take very shor
dives, and, finally strange as it ma
appear, those men drOwned-as the
termed 1.-THE birds, by not givin
them breathing time. TIE birds wer
unable to dive, and one after tn
- other lay over on it's side on the SUI
( face and both were lifted into the boa
alive.
1t was the most singular and surpri:
ing proceeding 1 ever witnessed.-Ne

Philadelphia Is a patriotic and enter

anything success usually crowns its ef-
forts. Just now it is busily engaged
in making preparations for the cele-
bration of a Peace Jubilee on October
% and q. 1t is to be a national affair,
the governors Of all the states having
been invited to be present with such
military organizations as they may
have at their disposal for participation
in such a celebration. The first gov
ernor to respond was Hon. Ebe w.
Tunnel, Of this state. In his letter
OF acceptance he says:
take pleasure in accepting your in
vitation, and will be present with my
staff. ] regret that l am unable to com
ply with the request to have regiments
or representatives of our military or
ganlzations participate in the parade
Our National Guard, which is the only
military organization in the state, vol.
unteered in the First Delaware Regi.
ment OF Volunteers for the war with
Spain, and are still retained in service
in camp at Camp Meade This leaves
us with no military organization in the
state.

BUBBLE INVESTMENT CoMPANIR:

BUBBLE INVESTMENT COMPANIES
In the train Of the real estate Gaze
during the eighties. says Henry j..
Fletcher in the Atlantic, came a great
number Of loan and investment COM
panies. Many OF them were conduct
ed by honest men, who lent the money
of Eastern clients in immense quanti-
ties. their estimate of value being OF
course affected by the prevailing exag-
geration; many more institutions were
organized to burst, and, aaer flourish
ing a few years in the not atmosphere
of speculation, fulfilled their destiny
and spread ruin among thousands Of
innocent victims. No large Western
town has been exempt from these two
classes Of concerns, and their collapse
justly aroused in the East deep feel
ing of distrust and insecurity, and lee
to a condemnation of Western invest
ments and western business methods
in which good and bad were con
founded.
