OF
ALL KINDS.

Senator r. r. kenney was GER
tain of having the appointing of
the census supervisor for Delaware.
In fact he had his man picked out
and recommended to Commissioner
Merriam for the office. He was a
much surprised man when he learn
ed that Jonathan S. Willis had re-
ceived the Office. He made big
fight but was knocked out in the
shuttle.
The biggest kind of pressure is
being made to bear on the Presi-
dent to have him pardon Col. l.. 4.
Cooper, who was convicted and SEN
fenced to two years in Trenton Jail
for spending $4,000 Of the stock
holders money Of the First Nation
al Bank at Dover, through the lib
crafty of Cashier Boggs.
The investigation Of the conduct
Of Captain Kane as unbecoming
police officer, was continued Mon.
day evening before the Police Com
mission and he was found guilty on
one charge, upon which sentence is
suspended until later in the week.
1t is charged by Meat Inspector
George Adele that an organized eff
fort is being made by his enemies in
the Democrat party to head him
off in the race to succeed himself
as meat inspector. With the pres
ent Council he considered his
chances good, but with the new one
he is not sure how he stands.
An effort is being made to get up
Citizen S Republican party in this
city and those engaged in the work
say the success of the new move
ment is assured.
The gentlemen at the head of this
movement should not forget one es-
sential thing and that is that it
takes money to run any party, to
pay perfectly legitimate expenses.
Without the necessary funds moth
ing can be accomplished that will
amount to anything.
Another disappointment to sever
al well known gentlemen was the
census supervisor for Delaware
coming from Milford. But then, of
what account is an ex-Congressman
if he has no pull with the powers
that be at Washington.

WILL PUR-
CHASE A FLAG
And Washington Heights
Association Will Raise
the Emblem on
July 4.

Samuel II. Bnynard presided at meet.
ing OF the Washington Heights AssOcia-
ton which was held on the triangle last
night The principal business before the
meeting Was whether or not q flag should
be purchased out Of the fund subscribed
for the Fourth OF July celebration and
raised on Independence Day. Thsqasstion
had been voted upon adversely ata pre-
/. vious meeting and tho matter postponed
until last night when the opposition 10
the purchase was earnestly led by I'D.
mund G. Hardesty and Daniel keneally,
upon two grounds.
Fret that the flag now in use on the trt.
anglia purchased q year -ago was In fair
condition and therefore 1t was unnecessary
to purchase new one. The second and
principal reason for tho opposition was
that the funds out Of which 1t was pfopos.
ed to purchase the fng had been solicited
from the general public to provide q Fourth
Of July celebration, and not to provide for
the permanent adjournment Of the park
and that such q misappilcatiou Of the
funds would lead to criticism on the part
Of the public and would not be treating
the subscribers In good faith. After tho
matter had been considered at tho first
meeting, the friends Of the proposition by
doing considerable missionary work sscur.
ed quite large attendance at the meeting
last night ana succeeded In polling vote
Of ~ as against for tho opposition. The
raising ottho new flag will therefore be
ono of tho attractions Of tho Fourth Of
July celebration at Washington Heights.

fund 1851, about $50 Of which Is In hand.

Men Who Have Green Hair,

In the districts surrounding the copper
mines Of Cornwall Cuba, Chile and other
places where the ore is abundantly
found a curious sight is to be seen in
the shape of men with hair that is quite
green. This is not, us might be imagined,
Il fashionable fad, but the grave result
produced by the mems surroundings. The
crude ore in order to secure a more mar
ketable article, is roasted in enormous
furnaces, and it is some strange cmana-
ton from the smcltcd copper that effects
this chemical change in the hair of the
miners and turns it as green as grass.
Investigations have proved that the
fumes from the furnaces contain GER
tain quantity of arsenical matter, and
this causes the startling change. although
the texture and growth Of the hair suffer
no injury.-Chicago Times-Herald.

ROLLED in a BARREL.


Than Lyncbing BY = Victim.
"There's something barbaric about
lynchng, as most people will agree" said
the man with the broken nose, "but can
easily name two worse things. One is
rolling a man around in barrel, and the
other Is a coat of tar and feathers. In
my foolish young days arrived at
town In southern Indiana to find the peo-
pie all excited over several arrests for
robbery. A family named Black, con-
sisting Of man and wife and Il grown up
son, had been caught and made to con-
fess to many thefts. Instead Of putting
them on trial the people hid determined
to apply tar and feathers and walk 'em
out of town. l had no objections SO far
as the men were concerned, but when 1t
came to the woman l constituted myself
her champion and declared that they
must walk over my dead body first. For
about five minutes l was hero, then,
about dozen men grabbed me and hus-
tied me into room. and after the Blacks

ment. Plenty of tar and feathers were
left, but the crowd wanted change, and
it was decided that l should have the
barrel exercise. They got out and I'M
headed big cider barrel, dropped me in
to it and replaced the head, and then all
was ready.

ceedings with contempt. l had never been
rolled in a barrel, and SO | had no idea
of the sensations. They first kicked it
along the wide, unpaved street, and 1t

had enjoyed themselves for quarter of
an hour l, was praying for death to hur-
~ up. l dimly remember that after they
got tired Of the football work in the
street they rolled the barrel up a long
hill and then let it go kting down. You

asked. |
"WeIl, met the old man Black about
two years later, and he still smclled Of
the tar. He told me that 1t took weeks
work with soap and water to get the stuff
started, and that spots were left which
couldn't be got off, even when rubbed
with brick. He didn't feel the degra-
dation so much, but what hurt his feel
