GOLF IN UNITED STATES.
A Good Field for Professionals.

Charles Thorn, the professional last
season at the Mount Pleasant Golf
Club in the White mountains, is MAX
ing arrangements to take charge of a
green in Georgia this winter, and is
engaged to go back to the Mount
Pleasant Club as soon as the season
opens, early in June, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Thorn, while not partic-
ularly well-known in this country,
had good reputation as a player and
instructor in England. He came to
this country last August and went di-
rect to the Mount Pleasant Club.
Thorn said, in speaking of good goli
in this country: "The United States
has offered good field for profession.
ais and it is not surprising that SC
many have left Great Britain for this
country, as they are able to make fai
more money. What | am surprised at,
however, is that there are so many
men acting as greens-k keepers and in
structors who are nothing more thar
club makers A good club maker il
not necessarily good greens-keeper
in fact, quite the contrary, and often
times they know less about laying
out course than the veriest tyro
The fact that they could make clubs
and came from England and Scotland
was all the recommendation needed il
many cases, and to their ignorance il
the matter of laying out and caring fol
links are due the many courses which
are so severely criticised, and ar,
really not deserving the name.
"To man who knows his business
as a greens-keeper this is quickly
seen. The courses have seen in thil
country are fairly good in the main
Almost any we'll -turfed piece o,
ground, however, can be made into {
good course if enough money is spent
Money has been spent lavishly il
laying out links, but more is neces
sary to bring them up to the standard
of those in Great Britain.

Netcong Sutton had had slight
attack of pneumonia but by Sunday
had so far recovered as to be about
the house.
That morning DR.. Miller, who had
attended Sutton was called in. He
found the patient in convulsions
which resembled either tetanus con-
vulsions or the symptoms of strychnine
poisoning. Sutton said, before he died,
that his wife had given him a quinine
capsule at O'Clock that morning.
After the death an autopsy was per-
formed and the stomach and intestines
sent away for examination.

with whom Sutton was living was
Miss Bells, of Hope, Warren County.

ALDERMEN MEET.
Special Meeting Of the Board Decide to
Assist in Passing Excl. e Measure.

At a special meeting of the Board
of Aldermen held last night resolu-
tions were passed requesting the rep
resentatiyes of Morris County in the
Legislature to use their efforts to Sc
cure the passage of Senate bill, No. 2.
introduced by Senator Pitney. ALI
the Aldermen were present excepting
Mr.. Lines. Mayor Quayle, who pre-
sided, said that the object of the
meeting was to consider means of for
warding the excise and ward measures
at Trenton. Alderman Reed reported
for the Committee on Resolutions
that Senator Pitney desired the Board
to send representative to Trenton to
be of assistance in the passing of the
Excise Bill. 1t had been suggested
that special meeting be called to
pass resolutions regarding the legisla
tion. Mr. Reed further said that the
act under consideration is an amend
ment to an act of 1884 which applies
to cities only and is almost identical
with the earlier act. Resolutions
were read and passed. 1t was decided
that the Legislative Committee to-
gether with the counsel of the Board
should go to Trenton as representa-
tives.
The resolution was passed as follows /:
Whereas the Supreme Court of the
State of New Jersey has decided that
Morristown is a town and whereas
we are advised that those laws of the
State OF New Jersey, which, by their
titles refer to cities only, cannot be
taken advantage of by the Town Of
Morristown, Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we request Hon.
Mahlon Pitney, Senator from Morris
County, and the Hon. Jacob W. Welsh
and Hon. Samuel L. Garrison, Assem-
blyman, from Morris County, in the
Legislature of New Jersey, to use
their utmost efforts to secure the en-
actment as law of An Act to estab-
lish an Excise Department in incorpo-
rated towns and cities of this State, !"
which act is an amendment of the ex-
isting law by including the words
e' incorporated Towns in the title
thereof, but in no other respect. And
also to secure the enactment as law
of can Act for the formation and es-
tablishment of Wards in incorporated
towns and cities of the third class
in this State, and making the neces-
sary charges in the Government of
the same.

GENERAL WOODGATE.

distance While they held General Lyt-
tleton's brigade in check at Potgieter's
they tried an attack at Colenso, which
proved Intellectual against Barton's bri-
gade.
The Beers. massed on Mount Tabam-
yama, discovered on Wednesday morning
that Spion kop had been taken by British
attack and endeavored to drive Warren
men from the position which they had
won For the whole of Wednesday the
British underwent a storm of shot and
shell, but they held on. When Bnllel
sent his telegram, Spion kop was still in
British hands.
Owing to the night march and sudden
surprise of the Bocr garrison Warren did
not suffer many casualties before dawn
broke, but Butler states that the shell fire
of the enemy was very deadly during
Wednesday and that the loss was consid-
crable.
1t is hardly possible that the British
were able to get any guns up to Spion
kop before Wednesday night. In conse-
quence they were probably unable to re-
ply to the Boer artillery on the surround
ing eminences.

SNEAK THIEF SWEPT OUT.

A sneak thief entered the apart
ments of Harry W. Babbitt, s Wash
ington street, at 7.30 O'Clock, Satur-
day night. Mrs. Babbitt found him
plundering as she entered one of the
bedrooms The fellow ordered her to
make no outcry, but Mrs. Babbitt,
taking a broom, soon put him to
fight. Fred Yawger, who lives on
the floor below the Rabbits, hearing
the commotion, came into the hall
as the rascal was running down the
stairs. Yawger fired several shots
after the thief but did not succeed in
hitting him.
The rogue was evidently surprised
by the pluck Mrs. Babbitt displayed
as nothing was found missing after
he had left.

FISH AND GAME.
A Large Number of Fry Distributed
in Jersey Streams

George Riley, the New Jersey Fish
and Game Protector, has issued his
report from Aug. to Dec. 81 1t
shows that the principal work done
for the past five months consisted in
distributing rs, 600 trout in different
streams in the State. The success
attained in the safe delivery of this
large number of fish is without pre-
cedent in the history of the fish and
game commission of the State. Out
of the rs, 900 fish delivered, only one
trout has been reported as lost in
transit For the eminent success
achieved in the distribution of this
trout with so slight loss, the war
dens who had charge of such distribu-
tion are entitled to the highest need
of praise.
Mr.. Riley now thinks the streams
of the State are sufficiently stocked
with trout for years to come. Atten-
tion should now be given to all lakes,
as many of them are greatly in need
of new life. He recommends more
liberal purchase and distribution of
pike, perch and silver bass from the
Great Lakes, also strawberry bass (;
the two former species not to be put
in less than 20 feet of water, with
plenty of rock bottom and gravel,
Should this proposition meet with fav-
orable consideration, there would be
about four lakes in the State where
such fish can thrive

Gratitude by Sitting for
His Portrait.

It was not in Germany alone that the
conduct of the late Elihu B. Wash
burne, of Illinois, in protecting foreign
ers in Paris during the siege and the
reign of the commune awakened graft
tude and praise. The subject of almost
every European nation had reason for
thanks that he displayed such herois>n
at time Of grave peril. Prince Biz
marck, some time before his death, re-
lated to correspondent what he had
done toward recognizing Mr.. Wash
burne's services to his fellow country
men. "As the American amba ssador,"
he said, chad protected the Germans
in Paris during the French war we
wanted to present him with testi-
monial. Therefore, had grand cross
of the Order of the Iron Crown made
of more costly pattern than had prob
ably ever been manufactured before.
The brilliants alone cost 1000 friedrichs
dor, but before the emperor conferred
it upon him took the precaution to
ask if he would accept the order, and
received a reply that it would have to
go to the Washington museum, as he
would not be allowed to wear it. As
this was not much to my liking we kept
the order for some time, and inquired
by what other means we could show
our gratitude. In reply he begged that
I should sit to an American artist for

stroke ofbusiness by painting three por.

PROFIT IN CALVES.
Animals That Have Always
Brought Good Luck.

Those who conduct winter dairying
on truly profitable scale always nave
a portion of their herd coming new
mich early in the winter months. What
should be done with the resulting
calves that come to us in this incle-
ment season of the year? 1t is not wise
to kill them for their skins, which will
hardly pay for the labor expended in
removing the hides; neither is it ex-
pedient to attempt to raise them neg
lectfully. The writer has universally
had good luck' with winter-born
calves by adhering to the following
general plan:
Male calves not intended for raising,
either as steers or bulls, have profit
ably converted into veal. There is new
er time when good veal calf will
not sell readily for cash or it's equiva-
lent. Do not, however, let them suckle
the COWS, nor feed them on whole milk.
This way of making veal is never truly
profitable to dairyman. Feed on
skinned milk with the addition of
cooked corn meal or oil meal. If the
skinned milk is fed warm the animals
will relish it better and fatten enough
faster to amply pay for the trouble in
volved.
The place in which they are housed
will have much to do with successful
result. This should always be apart
from the mich COWS and where the
latter cannot see or hear them. The
calves quarters should be extra warm,
as the young creatures cannot stand
the same degree of cold that more ma
ture cattle can. A too cold apartment
is one reason why many make failure
with winter-born calves. Provide bed
dig literally and feed literally and reg
ularly.
Choice heifer calves not designed for
fattening but for raising into future
cows, should be kept separate from
their veal brothers and sisters, with of
course less oleaginous and more nitro
genous food provided. Ones aim should
be to keep them in thrifty, growing
condition, which, by right manage
ment, can be as readily accomplished
in winter as in summer. Calves so
reared, when warm weather comes will
be in position to go onto grass and de-
velop into fine thrifty yearlings.-Ohio
