Sadly AFFLICTED.

There is a case OF malignant ty.
phold fever In a house on Diamond
steet, near Twenty-third. and a mes
senger from the health Office was
sent up there the other day TO paste
the necessary labels on the doors.
When he reached the house he dis
covered that he had only one typhoid
fever label left. but he didn't let a
little thing like that bother him. He
hfiixed the typhoid label to the front
door and, going around 10 the back
gate. posted a diphtheria label there.
This circumstance has nearly caused
n panic among the hucksters who
work both the fronts and the rears
~ the houses. "Geel" commented a

EIopers at Barge once.

Of runaways there are scores every
year at the barge office. II seems that
whenever married man has deserted
his wife ana children for comcly
young girl, or a married woman has
torsaken an elderly husband for a
younger lover, they make straight
away for New York, as if it were the
universal haven of refuge In most
cases the officials of the barge office
manage to get the exact truth: for,
having no marriage papers, "husband"
and wife are separately questioned
as to the time and the place the cere-
mony was solemnized As both are
lying, their stories frequently do not
agree. 1t Is usually the man who is
first to confess to the runaway. This
is because the woman has everything
to lose and the man everything to
gain, for he can desert her at will,
even as he deserted wife and children
abroad, and with even less compunc-
tion of conscience. The woman, and
sometimes the nan, suffer deporta-
tion. If the latter has money he is
allowed to remain, since there is no
law to prevent him, unless, of course,
the wife across the water has caused
her husbands arrest through the for
eign consul here. There is usually a
property as well as ~ personal crime
in these runaway events.-Ainslee's

FAMILY LIVES IN A TREE.
New Jersey Man Who Has Built Him
self a Home Well Above
Ground,

John Rnusch, of Haledon, N. j.. and
his family live up tree. A more
unique habitstion cannot be imagined.
In the branches of big oak he has
built his home. 1t is perched among
the leaves and over the top of the
queer abode towers the top of the
tree, forming it's chief roof.
Rausch, says a letter to the st. Louis
Republic, is a German laborer who has
worked around Haledon for five years.
He has seldom earned more than 4
dollar day. He grew tired OF paying
rent and, with the Germans love of
owning a home OF his own, he tried
to buy some property from the real
estate dealer OF the place, William
Buschman. The latter owns nearly all
the land in that-vicinity, and is anxious
to have the property improved, He
told M.usch he would give him nice
.ot for little money if he would build
house. True the lot was far away
from the road but it was dry and well
situated. 1t was covered with fine
trees, and an especially majestic oak
grew in the center.
After paying for the lot Rsusch
found he hadn't money enough to start
the house he had promised to build.
His wife and three small children ate
up his meager earnings. Buschman
told him he would have to give up the
lot il he didn't begin the house.
Rausch thereupon secured number
of big boxes. He had conceived the
idea OF making the branches of the
tree serve for uprights and timbers.
The nails in the boxes were sufficient
On the strong lower branches he
crossed and recrossed the boards. 1t
made very uneven floor, but the
branches were strong and the boards
would not slip. The house is circular,
but very irregular.
Above all there is a smaller structure
that Rausch calls his garret. When
the wind blows the whole structure
shakes and swings like hammock,
yet the whole family live there.

A strange story of freak voting
comes from Clifton, the great
mining camp in the eastern part of
Graham county. 1t seems that W,
K. Beck, ESQ.,, alias Cyclone Bill,
was the candidate for justice of
the peace, and the result showed
that he had considerable follow.
ing. A few of his supporters
voted for w. K. Beck, but a great
majority of them voted straight
for "Cyclone Bill" The judges Of
election knew no person who
answered TO that name and threw
all of them out, leaving Mr.. Beck
with very few votes, hardly
respectable minority. His cp,
ponent was Judge Anthony Wright
familiarly known as dad" Wright
Many ofJudge Wrighrs supporters
voted for "Dad" Wright ana the
election board had no difficulty in
coming to the conclusion that
these were meant for Anthony
Wright and they were so counted
This gave Mr.. Wright a large
majority over Mr.. Beck, Should
the votes cast for "Cyclone BiIlp
have been counted for Mr.. Beck
he would have been elected, ard
should the votes cast for sDad"
Wright have been thrown out,
then he would have majority.
Mr. Beck is hot and threatens all
kinds of contests and things. The
final outcome of his strange re
suit of the freak of votes is await
ed with bated breath.
A complication Of this sorl
would have been avoided by the
board of supervisors printing the

state positively that every vote
cast for Cyclone Bill was tailed
for W. Il. Beck. One vote was
cast for Toronado William and it
was also counted for Mr.. Beck.

cardboard with the names of W. K.

cil in the cardboard. II one IN
stance of this kind the cardboard
was placed upside down on the
ticket, which compelled the judges
to turn the ticket upside down in
order to read il. Mr.. Beck's
name hen came in the blank line
opposite "For Constable" and Mr..
Bells name opposite the words
"For Justice of the Peace" The
Judges and inspectors counted the
ballot for Mr.. Beck for justice OF

ballot and yet remains in the
hands Of the election board. An.
