Concerning Russia Leather.

There was time when Russio leather
was exclusively a Russian export. and the
demand greatly exceeded the supply.
Always very desirable for the smaller
articles made of leather, such as satchels
and pocketbooks, it was especially in de-
mand for binding valuable books, as its
aromatic odor repelled moths and other
insects.
A few volumes thus covered Wouid pro-
tect whole library.
Its odor and pliability are prinsipally
owing to the use of the oil of birch bark
in the finishing process. In 1873 our MIN.
lister to Russia, Marshall Jewell, himself
a tanner, discovered the process by which
the famous leather was made.
And from that time on Russia leather
had an extensive manufacture and sale
in the United States. Better yet, it is as
good as the imported. And so you see,
we may indulge in choicest Russia leather
without crippling home induustry.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Word was received this morning tnat
Mr.. b. NJ. Stanley is not in any imme-

confidently of his recovery. Mr.. +. y
Young was to be advised at once OF any
serious change today, and no notlhcatloii

The illness of Mr.. Stanley has not
caused a great depreciation in the sscuri-
ties of the local financial concerns IN
which Mr.. Stanley is largely interested.
Manager Hussey, of the local investment
department of Joseph M. Byrne q Co.

usual activity in the stocks and ponos OIL

Z CITY, SATURDAY. MARCH IL 1900

the Saint narrowly escaped murder and
owed his life to the devotion of Odran,
his charioteer. A pagan prince in Kildare
was angered at the apostolic zeal of St.
Patrick and determined to waylay and kill
him on the road. Odran got word of the
conspiracy and as they neared the fatal
spot, feigning fatigue, he exchanged
places with st. Patrick. He took the in
side or closed part of the car, and the
prince, mistaking him for st. Patrick,
slew him with a lance thrust. The Saint
soon found himself back again in Ulster,
and after founding the Church and Arch
bishopric of Armagh, the Primative See
of All ireland, settled down to life of
prayer, study and virtue. He died holy
at Armagh, in 4s3, at the advanced age
of 12O, and was buried in Downpatrick."

Especial to 'The Jersey City News
TRENTON, March II, 190O.-The House
worked hard all day yesterday and made
rapid strides toward final adjournment
next Friday. There seems to be seri-
Gus determination on the part of the
leaders to wind up next week and every
effort is being bent in that direction. The
appropriation bill is about ready, the new
Industrial School for Girls bill will be in
Monday, and the leaders say there is
nothing to prevent sine die adjournment
on Friday.
Some people predict that there will be
a prolonged fight over the Governors s
Franchise tax bill, which may string out
the session, but the general impression
is that the measure is acceptable to the
larger corporations concerned and that
no more time than is necessary will be
taken up in putting 1t through. There
was some discussion yesterday afternoon
over Mr.. Meeker's bill changing the name
of the Boys Reform Schoop to that of
state Home for Boys" Mr. Meeker is
chairman of the House Committee on the
Boys Reform School and takes his posi-
tion very seriously. He urged the change
of name because the boys were not felons
and a new reformatory would soon be
opened at Railway. He said all the trus-
tees of the school, many of whom were
Judges, were in favor of the change.
Assemblyman Mungle, who is chairman
of the House Committee on the Girls In
dustrfal School, STATED that there was
similar bill under consideration changing
the name of the girls school to the State
Home for Girls, but some Of the trustees
and lady managers We're opposed to the
change, as the Institution was a reformA-
tory, and should be known as such. AS

KILLING AT LEBANON.


From A. j. Milburn Of Lebanon,
who is in the city today, we learned
the following details of a killing
which occurred at that place Satur-
day night.
Il seems that several of the
young men and boys of the town
went to Marietta Saturday, where
they got some whisky or other in
toxicant and returned home late in
the evening somewhat intoxicated.
Among the number was a young
man named Flint Hamilton, about
l9 years of age. After their re-
turn they remained down town IL
stead of going to their homes. and
were joined during the evening by
a lad about Is years old, named
Ben Perry, who is nephew of Mr..
Milburn.
The boys got to abusing Mr..
Milburn for some jest which he
had perpetrated on their condition
and young Perry took offense at
their remarks. A fight ensued
between Hamilton aud Perry, in
which the latter cut his adversary
in the groin, severing an artery.
The wounded boy was carried to
a store near the seene of the fight,
where he died about ten minutes
later. having bled to death.
His funeral took place at Leba-
non yesterday afternoon.
The tragedy has cast a gloom
over the entire community. the
deceased being an excellent young
man and a member of a highly
respected family. Young Perry is
from Texas and had been living
with his uncle at Lebanon only
about two months.
He fed Immediately after the

hended when last heard from yes.
