and that Mir. Peck will have to go another year before he will have chance to take the helm of the political ship of the bor- ough. MT. Peck claimed last night in speech of well chosen words that when his administration of the borough affairs came to close q year ago there was in, or com ing to the treasury, S3,20O, but as soon as Warden Thompson and his staff took hold it was seen that they had to contend with outstanding bills amounting to about S4, 500, and this state of affairs did not help the chances of the ex-warden last year. Mir. Peck has many political supporters in the to attend the caucus last night.
 The caucus, which was presided over by Dr. John F. Barnett, was one of the smooth est and cleanest that have been held there for many years. It was well attended and everything was carried out in manner pleasing to all.
 The full ticket was nominated as follows: Warden, Dennis Kimberly; burgesses, John H. Hayes, Lewis H. Warner, Andrew Thomas, J. J. Keller, John D. Pond; tleas- urer, Dr. John F. Barnett clerk, Frank Sheehan; assessors, Henry C.. Thomas, J. Fl. Lanfare: bailiff, James Swanson; au- ditor. C. Godfrey Olsen; borough commit tee, John H. Hayes. Patrick Martley, Law renee Moore. This is the same committee that was nominated last year. Captain Walter Thompson was nominated for the collectorship, but he withdrew his name and this place Is left to be filled.
 The republican caucus will be held to- night in the town hall. and the borough election will take place next Tuesday
 The present warden, Clarence ID. Thomp- son, will probably be renominated at the caucus this evening.

SOPHOMORE FOOLED
Fresh men Escape to Boston for Their
 Annual Supper.

Amherst Mass. Nov. 26.-The college freshmen escaped from this place on special train which passed through at 4:15 this morning. There were eighty in the party. The rules for the fresh man class supper provided that the event may take place at any time be- tween the close of the football season and the 22d of February, barring the days at the end of the fall term set apart for examinations Monday night came the reception by the women of the faculty to the entering class, so that tonight was the first opportunity to hold he banquet. The sophomores were out in large numbers Monday night guarding the presidents house, where the reception was in progress. When the reception broke up the sopho- mores, who feared that the supper was planned for that night took large bod ies of the freshmen into custody, but re- leased the most of them again on the latter's assurance that they would not leave town that night. By the time the sophomores were aware of the fact that their prey had slipped through their fingers the clever freshmen were well on their way to Boston.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 26.--The impression prevails here that the real objective of the Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman who's e arrival here was announced last night when he left Japan, was St. Petersburg It is believed that Japan Is more disposed to cul- tvate Russian friendship or at least seek an understanding with Russia since it be- came apparent that Great Britain was un- able or not disposed to support Japan If the latter intended to oppose Russian pro- jects.
 Calcutta, Nov. 27.-The wind blew here yesterday with hurricane violence from noon until 1 o'clock and did much dam age. Warning signals of the approach of cyclone of exceptional severity were dis played and caused great excitement. It is feared that the steamers at the mouth of the Hoogly received the brunt of the storm. Photographic communication is jl- terrupted and news is anXiousy awaited from Allahabad.

Hides and Tallow.


Only the very few among us run any
risk, in the course of our peregrinations
and vicissitudes, of being invited to
such Objectionable dinners as it was
the lot of Bruce. the explorer, to eat.
Such very nasty feeders as the Abys-
sinans of his day are becoming ex-
tinct. Fancy sitting down to table and
seeing the meat walk alive into the
room! That was their custom. And
they ate it alive. too, the brutes!
The wretched OK was tied fast, head
and legs, and then, by delicate in
cision on both sides of the backbone,
near the launches, the attendants were
able to strip its skin away, to enable
them to cut slices from the poor ami
NAL again and again without touching
an artery. The guests ate the meat
raw and quivering to the music of the
roars and believing of pain of the OK
of which it was part.
This is hideous, and even the least
particular of men may be excused for
Sinking an experience of the kind.

Kelvin ms Dnmoclcs.

A characteristic always of Lord Kel-
vim WAS his absolute faith in figures, and
this ruling passion once led to his ex'
pertinent as a Damocles. When he once
solved a problem In mathematics, he was
willing TO stake upon its correctness not
only his reputation, but, IL necessary, his
life.
Taking an immense heavy cannon ball,
he calculated with the utmost accuracy
the size OF the smallest wire which would
bear the weight OF the load of iron. He
then procured a length of wire of just
the requisite strength and TO prove the
truth OF his figuring had the cannon ball
suspended over his iecturing platform at
the very spot where il would be most
likely 10 strike and crush him should the
wire give way. and it remained there fol
weeks.

This little creature, still to be found
in South America, is relic of bygone
ages. 1t is known as the crested hoatzin,
and the adult bird is about as big as a
peacock.
The young birds, when Matched, have
four legs, the front pair being reptilian
In character, and have strong claws. As
they grow older these claws fall off.
the legs become fattened. feathers
grow on them, and they develop into
wings.
These nestllngs are the nearest APP
proach to a reptile that can be found
among birds. and they can climb and
dive and swim with great facility.

A SONG OF REST.

sestful to tired eyes and sweet
Are iresh fields full Of growing wheat;
Afar they melt into the mist
OF evenings deepest amethyst.
Cireling round. the hills arise,
lspis blue 'gainst deeper skies.
As hills Of ancient Rome they stand,
Full seven strong. locked hand in hand.
Atween their riffs run path and stream;
Upon their slopes the cattle dream;
The nurseling iiooks in patches lie
Like drifts Of cloud In summer sky.
Bells rim out the sunaes hour.
Crows ay home, and in each flower
Bees are droniSg an evensong,
And night moths aoyer the bushes among.
Dear rest TO tired souls and kind
This evening hourI Then one may find
Her Mother Earth. and on her breast
Tbs head may fall Come, night Come, rest
