A SALEM COUNTY ELECTION DIS.
PIJTE

Salem, March 22.-The dispute over
the election of a member of the Board
OF FreehOlders in Upper Pittsgrove
township IS likely to involve proceed
lngs in the courts before the difficulty
Is sett,ed. The Democrats claim the
election of their candidate, Thomas Y.
Hackett. by six majority, and the Re
publicans propose testing the legality
Of their claim, because their candidate.
Joseph ~ Mayney, received twelve
votes which the election officers reject
ed. The votes in dispute were on the
Democratic ticket, the name Of the Re
publican nominee having been written
In a blank space under the Freeholder,
while the Democratic nominees name
did not appear on the ticket. The con-
test over the lection will also affect
the political complexion Of the board,
and if the Democratic candidate is de-
clared elected the Democracy will con-
troll the new board by one vote.

ENoLAND's COAL SUPPLY.
Il NervOusly Discussing It's Possible
Exhaustion.

Il NervOusly Discussing It's Possible
Exhaustion.
Once again England nervously is dis
cussing the possible exhaustion Of her
coal supply, which forms the backbone
of her commercial supremacy. Leon
ard Courtney as president Of the Sta
tistical society, this week more than
confirms Prof. Jevons' view that the
supply will be in peril within an or
binary lifetime. The output for 1896
actually was 30 per cent. less than It
would have been If the rate of progress
in Jevons' time had been maintained.
While the British output has increased
less than 2h times since 1850, the
American output has increased tenfold,
while the American cost of output has
greatly increased. This confirms the
Spectators belief that America soon
will occupy a position of unchallsnged
supremacy IN the industrial world.
England must adjust herself to q
smaller output Of coal and iron, and a
readjustment Of vocations.
"If," adds the Spectator, English
supremacy be destroyed. Il will be not
through the failure Of coal, but through
incapacity to keep pace with the electric
development in America and Germany"

Was "A Good Investment.

IttcG lnhntkN Ills nuHnei OF nutAMntAN
Was IA Good Investment.
The total failure of the beechnut
crop has brought the Maine bears to
the verge OF starvation, so that many
sly old animals are coming out to the
clearings and getting shot while look
ing for something to eat, says the Bos-
ton Herald.
Jack Gilpatrick, an aged bear hunter,
who occupies a camp on the side Of
Chicks hill, in the town of Clifton, gave
up the hunt and took in his traps a
month ago and went TO shooting and
poisoning bobcats, because he could
find no bears. Late in October he went
out for more wildcats, and in passing
through q beech wood saw recent
traces of bear that had been scratch
ing up the falling leaves and eating
what few beechnuts of last years crop
he could find.
The next day Jack went down to the
store and bought a bushel Of n new
kind of buclxwheat, which had n large
kernel. A grain Of buclowheat bears
the same relation to q beechnut that q
SNOWFALL does to satellite; they are
shaped alike, but one is infinitely larger
than the other. But Jack boiled his
buclSwheat all night, and when he
spread it among the beech trees the
next morning bear that wore mag
nifying glasses might possibly mistake
il for beechnuts. Some hunters came
along while Jack was setting his bear
traps among the buclSwheat and COW
ering them with leaves. and when they
saw what he was doing made fun Of
him and told about him at the post Of
fee, so that everybody heard Of it and
the story got into the newspapers.
Two days later Jack took n big fat
bear TO Bangor and sold it for $50.
Since then he has caught two smaller
bears from the same lot and is looking
for more. AS the bushel of buclswheat
cost but 75 cents Jack thinks Il was q
good investment.

"This controversy between Hayti

the same spirit that Germany did in de-

er the close Of the war and was about
the same kind Of affair. The Brazilian
government had imprisoned or treated
anAmerican citizen in some outrageous
way, and the American minister at Rio
Janeiro, acting on his instructions, de-
manded an indemnity. He was put of
from day to day, and finally from week
10 week, until he made up his mind that
he was either going to do his duty or
lose his position, so he said nothing
more about the matter, but waited for
a United States war ship 10 anchor in
the harbor. When the vessel arrived he
quietly moved HIS effects from the le-

Attempts Made in the Pre-HistOric

At the close Of the middle ages, when
the deficiency of knowledge of the
earth was great, ayarice and the quest
for the goods of the south led men into
the northern ice; they sought to reach
India by the shortest possible routes,
where they would not meet rivals and
enemies. This was the object of Ma

the fifteenth, Frobisher and Davis in
the sixteenth, and Hudson and Bafin in
the seventeenth centuries, to name only
a few Of the most famous. 1t is aston

Dutch sailors risked, suffered and
gained.
They cid not, indeed, reach India, but

Hidden Nests.

Those farmers who give the fowls free
range are often sorely tried by the hens
determination to hide their nests
Every now and then. among the brush.
or some hidden nook, they will find
eggs OF all ages, and in all conditions.
What can be done to prevent hens from
thus hiding their nests? We admit we
do not know. We always aim to have
clean and attractive houses, and nests
made of soft hay, but still when our
hens have range they will hide their
product somewhere else. 1t seems to be
natural with them.
1t teaches an Important lesson, It
shows US that when we yard our hens
we will find it to work to advantage
to have the nests placed in the house
in a-somewhat dark corner-the boxes
covered over. In nine cases out of ten
we have found that hens will resort to
such nest before they will pay at.
tention to one that is open so that the
hen can be seen. There is also an adj
vantage in dark nest in preventing
egg eating. Let the hen be under the
impression that she is hiding herself
and she will be more apt to lay in the
same place.-Exchange.
