noises of the road are never heard. 1t
is on an eminence, surrounded by
trees and practically in the forest.
Well-kep walks extend through
woods and ravines and alongside run

and stepping stones.

manager, who has had full charge
since the opening six years ago He
has been untiring in his efforts to
make the Inn the best hotel in the
state and his efforts have met with
the success they deserved.

CUISINE and Service the Best in
the State.

Within dozen miles of Morristown,
nestled among the hills of the north
ern part of Somerset county, is a
summer hostlery the like of which
can not be found elsewhere in the
whole state. 1t is the Somerset Inn,
and, although it has been running but
six seasons, SO well is it known that
it is full from the opening in May to
the closing in October. 1t is here
that many of the fashionable set now
come instead of going to the Adiron-
dacks, the Berkshires, or the White
Mountains for the summer. For
Somerset inn offers all the advantages
of mountain scenery and climate and
yet is within an hours ride of New
York.
For the one who would spend q
week, a month or a summer in
delightful repose there is no more
fascinating spot than Somerset Inn.
1t is just near enough to the railroad
so that the cars are within easy reach,

ATTACKED
BY BULLDOG
Young Woman Saves Baby from
Jaws Of the Brute.
Great Courage Shown by Miss Bes-
sic Kane Although Badly Bitten
She Subdues the Animal which is
Later Shot.

The unexampled heroism of Miss
Bessie Kane in fighting single-handed
a vicious bulldog and thereby saving
the life of an infant intrusted to her
care, has excited great admiration
wherever the story has become known.
Miss Kane is employed as a nurse
girl by Mrs. George W. Irving who
is spending the summer in Washington
Valley at the summer hotel of P. r..
Kennedy On Thursday July 26, Mrs.
Irving and Miss Kane started to walk
to DR.. Campbell's, about mile away
Miss Kane carrying the sixteen
months old baby. When near the
home Of Frederick H. Garrabrant they
noticed an ugly looking bulldog
standing in the path and barring the
way. 1t hid evidently broken loose
as a long chain was dragging from
the collar around the dogs neck.
While the women were debating
what was best to do the dog made a
rush at them, leaped up on Miss
Kane and made vicious lunge at the
infant. Miss Kane at once passed the
baby to Mrs. Irving and then made
for the dog, which had fastened it's
teeth in her side. The dog seeing that
Miss Kane did not have the baby
quickly ceased its attack on her and
made for Mrs. Irving.
Miss Kane might have run away.
Self preservation is the first law of
nature and it would have been only
natural for her to look out for herself
But instead Of doing so she at once
attacked the dog.
The brute managed to elude her
grasp and jumped on her back, biting
and tearing it. He then made a
plunge for her right side but Miss
Kane was too quick for him and grab
bed him by the collar. With strength
born of desperate she wrenched
the collar and choked the dog to the
ground where she fell on him and
held him down by main strength
By this time negro farm hand from
Mr.. Garrabrant's place had arrived
on the scene. He was too cowardly
to attempt to take the dog away and
asked Miss Kane to hold him while
he got club. This she did and
when the darky returned with the
club the dog was released. Then there
was another tussle. The dog imme-
diately attacked Miss Kane, but she,
bleeding and faint as she was, grasped
his collar and once more threw him
to the ground.
The negro now had acquired suffi-
cient courage SO that he took the dog
in hand and dragged him away, while
Mrs. Irving and Miss Kane ran back
to the boarding house.
DR.. Campbell was called and dress
ed Miss Kane's many wounds. She
was in a highlyfeverish condition from
shock and loss of blood.
The dog was shot next morning, but
Miss Kane was not satisfied until the
dead body was brought before her.
She is now progressing favorably, her
wounds are healing rapidly. and it is
not supposed that any complications
will arise to retard her complete re-
covery.

THE ADJUSTABLE CLUB.
The --latest Fad for the Amateur OF
Professional Golfer.

The --latest Fad for the Amateur or
Professional Golfer.
One of the latest devices in golf
clubs is the invention of New York
player, Fl. g. Gushing, jr., of the
Westchester Country Club, who claims
for his idea that it will do away with
the elaborate outfit now carried in the
golfers bag.
The principle of the club is that it
may be adjusted to suit the players S
fancy as to the lie Of the head. Thus
by regulating thumbscrew the inn
plement may be changed from cleelx
to a midiron, mashie, lofteT or putter,
as the circumstances warrant. The
head is made in two pieces, the blade
like extremity fitting into the base of
the shaft by socket screw and being
held there by an adjustable nut. At
the joint are several slots into which
the blade may be fitted and by regu-
lating the adjustment of these slots
Vi0 pA1u0 1S UuAA0u W any ueSlr6u
angle. Thus, if putter is wanted the
blade is on a straight line with the
shaft; if midiron, the blade is turned
slightly in it's socket, the nut tight
ened and there you are.
The mechanism is simple, strong
and easily manipulated, and for the
man who can't afford whole outfit
or who is obliged to act as his own
caddie, the advantages of the club are
apparent. In one club tournaments,
which have become so popular of
late, he would certainly enjoy a tre-
mendous handicap over fellow com
petitors.

VERY PECULIAR GAME.

The Knickerbockers defeated the
Field Club second team last Saturday
by sore of 1872 There is nothing
particularly surprising in this score
considering the fact that the Field
Club team had never played together
before. 1t was rather ragged exhl-
bition all around yet it had many pecu-
liarities. For instance: W. Todd
struck out ten men. That means that
he is either good pitcher or that the
Knickerbockers are not much good
with the stick. Trowbridge had nine
teen put outs to his credit. That is
more than most first basemen are
credited with even in the hottest of
games. The Knickerbockers had
twenty-five assists. Did you ever
hear of so many in one gamer
The Knickerbockers would be all
right if they would reorganize the out
field. Their infield work is first class
but they badly need some good men
to chase the sky scrapers
