He then produced the Journal
of the House and proved the
above to be true.
He further said that the Fifty
third congress was democratic;
the senate was democratic, and
the president was a democrat, and
it was incumbent on the Demo
Gratis to keep a quorum in House;
to be present and vote; that this
record showed that Mr.. Enloe had
voted only II times out of As; had
answered present 7 and was rec
orded as not answering "a times;
thus being absent from his seat
one.half of the entire session.
He then asked how could the
democrats of this district vote to
return Mr.. Enloe to congress with
such a record of absence and neg
lect of duty; that the votes were
important from tho fact that Mr..

A romantic story of an intended

tives of the bride elect were invited
They came, but among them was the
wife of Saucy Calf, who steaGfastly re-
fused to partake of the feast. single

More than year ago match had

William X. Vanderbilt outdid all his
former automobile racing records by
beating one of the fast electric ears
running between Newport and FAN

who craned their necks to watch the
rapid dash of the Vanderbilt machine.
Some one cried out TO the motorman:
Give him run for his money" and
the race was on. 1t began at the ton
of hill, anu there was down. grade
for half a mile.
The car rushed at such speed that
the passengers could scarcely catch
their breath. Mr.. Vanderbilt opened
the throttle and the machine, which
had lost ground by the curve, rushed
past the car, and in .ew moments
was out of sight of tie passengers.
The car was running at the rate of 25
miles an hour.

TARRED MACADAM.
Experiment Proves That Its Makes
n Hard and Most Enduring Pave
ment for City Streets.

After years of experiment, this city
is laying a pavement that for excel
lence. durability and cheapness Is
commended for examination TO those
in charge of similar works in the
United States" writes Consul Shep-
ard from Hamilton, Ont.
THE possibility of making good
roads at reasonable cost has been dem
onstrated, and tests extending over a
number of years on business streets
prove that tarred macadam makes not
only smooth and solid roadway but
one that can be kept in perfect repair
at nominal expense.
THE first cost in this city, where
limestone is abundant and near at
hand is from 20 to Sc cents
per square yard; and, the en-
gineer estimates the cost of repairing
on heavy traffic streets at less than 1
cent per yard per year, while asphalt
costs over three cents.
THE addition of tar renders the
roadway impervious to water, FROST
proof in winter. and prevents mud and
dust in summer. 1t is easily repaired
and does not require scraping, thus
avoiding much wearing of the surface.
"One block of tar macadam laid
more than a year ago on a business
street where there is heavy teaming
shows no perccptible wear today. In
residential streets these pavements
have been in use eight years, with
out any repairs. and are still in good
condition.
Most of the stone used here is ma
chine crushed. but during the winter
season it is broken by hand labor and
paid for per cord, to furnish employ
ment in lieu OF aims to the needy.
Limestone is used because it is
abundant. but granite or flint stone
would absorb less tar and stand more
pressure and wear"

The Singular Case of Claude and
Clyde Wilson In Wood
County, D.

One of the most singular cases of
similarity in life and death ever known
to physicians of that section is shown
in Claudie and Clyde Wilson, twins,
whose funeral was held at Rudolph,
Wood county, o. The children, a boy
and girl, We're born four months ago
to Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Wilson. They
looked so much alike that only their
mother could tell them apart. They
were similar in their actions, their
likes, their dislikes, their troubles and
their joys.
About two weeks ago the girl fell
from her mothers arms and struck on
her face on the floor. She cried bit
terly, and the boy, too, seemed to have
been hurt and he cried as hard and as
long as did his sister. A large red
lump appeared on the girls right tenn
pie, and last Friday the little one fell
sick The doctor said it was brain
trouble and held out no hope for the
child's recovery. The boy fell sick
from the same brain trouble and died
within few hours OF his sister in the
same manner

Wisdo" Is Not Always One of the
AccOmpnn iments of
Years.

A medical man has discovered that
neither in youth nor old age is man
likely to make the biggest fool of him
self. remarks the New York Press
Extreme youth usually is consid-
cred not to have arrived at the dignity
of years of discretion. yet IA homely
proverh would have us believe that
there is no fool like an old fool"
This medical observer has broached
the theory thatthere is an alteration
period of middle life between the
ages of 81 and 50. "If," he says, "a
careful examination be made of the
preventable disasters of the last 20
years and of the ages of those who
were held responsible by the verdict
of mankind for such lamcntable issues
there will be found a strange coinci-
dence in the range of their ages"
Here is an interesting and practic-
ally inexhaustible field for investiga-
tion. Politicians who are "ag'in' the
government" may trace the blunders
of an administration to the sinister
influence of some boss who was pass
ing through the fatal period at the
time, and "regrettable incidents" of
all kinds, in war or peace, may be
traced to their true origin. In time,
no doubt. we shall appreciate the ne
cessity of requiring all public men, on
entering the fatal period, to take a
five years holiday and to resume
work only when they have passed the
age of alteration.
With reference to the deification of
the athlete at public schools, the
Oxford Magazine has the following:
ut appears that a few days back
the vice chancellor received the fol
lowing letter from gentleman:
How much would | have to pay for
the education of my son in your uni
versity? Let me know If shall have
to pay more in case my son. besides
rowing. should wish to learn to read
and write"

MEET FORTY YEARS AFTER.
Man and wife Separated at Time of
the Civil War--Both Since
Married,


After 30 years sparstion. during
which each believed the other dead, w.
w Howard sexton of Oak Hill Gene
terry, Springfield. ILL.,. and his wife have
again come together. although both
have since been married. The woman's
husband has died. but Howard married
the sister of his wife. and she is living.
The woman is Mrs. Jane Cooper. and
she has for a long time resided at Le-
roy, Mclean county, Ill. The fact that
both were living was discovered by
Arno II. Nauman, of Leroy, who mar
ried the womau's daughter. Wishing to
know mething of the early life of his
mother-in-law. he began an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the discovery
that Howard and Mrs. Cooper were both
alive and living apart, although never
legally separated.
The separation occurred when How.
ard went to war. Report came that he
was killed. When he returned to
Springfield his wife had left with James
Cooper, and news came that she was
drowned while crossing the Missis-
sippi river. Howard then married a
sister of the wife mourned as dead. and
by that union is now several times a
grandfather.
The young woman whom Nauman
married at Leroy is Howard's daughter
although Howard has never seen the
girl, she having been born after he went
to war The meeting between Howard
and Mrs. Cooper occurred when the lat
ter came TO Springfield to visit her sis
ter, who is now the second Mrs. How

VACCINATION BY HYPNOTISM.
Two Ltttle Girls at Jersey City Sub
tected to Treatment and They
Feel No Pain.

John NJ. Letschke, of 122 Danforth
avenue, Jersey City, n. j., gave an eX-
hibition of hypnotism in the Office of
the health board in Jersey City the
other day. Mr.. Letschke brought
three children, Louisa, nine years old (;
Pearl, eight years, and Howard, five
years, to the office to be vaccinated.
Mr.. Letschke told an inspector that
he was a graduate of a school of hyp-
notism, and would like to put his two
little girls under hypnotic influence
before they were vaccinated, as n mat
ter of experiment. DR.. Robert Stew
art. who was to vaccinate the chill
dren, gave his consent. Two girls were
then placed in high backed chairs and
were told to fix their eyes upon their
father. Mr. Letschke said to his chill
dren:
Now. l am going to put you to sleep.
Whileyou are asleep some one will take
hold of you. But don't be afraid, you
will not be hurt"
Then he began making passes before
the faces of the children, and in short
time both of them appeared to be
asleep. DR.. Stewart scraped the arm
of each child, but they did not ap-
pear to be conscious of it. Mr.. Let
schke then made a suggestion TO the
effect that when they awoke they
would feel no pain. He then counted:
"One, two, three" and at the last word
the little girls opened their eyes and
looked smilingly around. They said
they felt no pain whatever.

ALLIGATOR IN TRENTON.
One Is Fished Out of the River which
Flows Through the Center
of the Town.

Catching alligators is not common
amusement in Trenton. \. j.. but one
was caught the other day in Assapink
creek. which makes its way through
the center of the town. A boy play
ing in the stream near where il flows
under Broad street spied something
that looked Ike big lizard on a wa
ter-soaked log. He was frightened and
called to Chief Engineer Purdy of the
trolley road, who happened to be near.
Purdy investigated and found that the
lizard was an alligator three feet long.
He got rope and pole and managed
to slip a moose over the body of the
reptile, and after hard struggle he
landed it. How the alligator managed
to get into the creek is a mystery.
