Bargemen's Tale Suggests Murder.

Mystery grim and grewsome has
gathered around the fate Of an unlden-
tilted woman whose body was found
two weeks ago floating In Big Timber
Greek, near the bridge that divides
Camden and Gloucester Counties, and
was buried in Potter's Field. When
James and Edward Parks, brothers,
who live at Westville, discovered the
body 1t was generally believed that the
woman had committed suicide, but
now John Cox and John Cummings, of
Westville, came forward with a story
that has caused Coroner Bushey to be-
gin q searching inquiry. Cox and Cum
mings say that on or about December
Is last. about 3 a. m, while they were
aboard a barge in Big Timber Creek,
they saw a team driven TO the bridge.
where it stopped. They paid little at
tention to it until a minute or two
later when a loud splash was heard,
and then the team was driven away at
a gallop. The men were startled and
say they made a search in expectation
of discovering some object in the
water, but finding nothing they thought
no more about it until they heard of
the finding of the unknown woman's
body. The oma was about forty
five years old, and her right arm was
cut off about four or five inches from
the shoulder. She had mixed gray
hair, was dressed in black calico and
her head was covered by a nubia. She
had no upper teeth. Coroner Bushey
is now at work on the case.

NEWS OF THE STATE
Death After white Caps"

Mystery surrounds the death of
Thomas T. Applegate, a prominent cit
izen of Mercer County, who was found
dead in a barn nea his house with his
head battered into a pulp. Al n time
Apologize was a director In the Allen
town Bank, and for years has been a
Commissioner of Deeds. He was also
a surveyor of recognized ability.
About two months ago he received
widespread notoriety because of an at
tack made on him one night in his
home by white caps" who warned
him to get out of the country. Apple
gate refused to go. He resisted his as
s%ailants, who finally fed from the
house. He claimed that he recognized
them as S. b. Shinn and Joseph Scat
tergood. A few years ago Applegate
had Shinn arrested on the charge of
assault with intent to kill, but he was
unable to prove the charge, which was
based on IN experience that he had
one dark night at Yardville. Apple
gate went to a shed back of the village
store to get his horse to drive home
when he was struck in the back of the
head with a piece of iron and received
a wound, the scar of which he carried
to the day of his death. He said hat
Shinn had deserted his wife and chill
dren in Georgetown, Burlington Coun-
ty, and came to Hamilton Township,
so that he might be nea Mrs. AppleA
gate. Apologize was found in the sta
bic near a horse. The County Physi-
clan is inclined to the opinion that he
was kicked to death by the horse, but
some of the neighbors think that he
was a victim of foul play. A thorough
investigation will be made.

In London 1t was noticed that when
the streets were muddy there was a
marked diminution of diseases that
where prevalent when dust is blowing.
Bowel troubles are plentiful when peo-
pie are compelled TO lnhale dust. Con-
sumption, too, often gets its start
from dust. Other Illnesses almost
equally grave follow from the breath
ing of flying particles of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
into mud, and the power for harm is
gon for mud is not inhaled. The
germs that infest dry dust become in
ert in mud, because these germs, VI
cious as they are, are too lazy to go
anywhere unless they are carried,
Moreover. mud is very likely to get ul-
timately into the drain-p!re, and the
germs are carried off where they can
do no harm. Even when mud dries on
the clothing and is brushed of the
dust that arises therefrom does not
appear to be as dangerous as that
which has not been recently wet

1t used to be said that winter dairy
ing was so much more expensive than
summer that extra profits obtained
from it hardly paid. This impression
was due as much to our general ignor-
ance of how to adapt ourselves to the
new industry as to anything else. The
fact is we can distribute our work
over the winter by a little planning so
that it need not be any more expen-
sive. AS it is now we devote all of our
time to summer dairying, and then
when winter comes on we have little
to do. The crowded condition of farm
work in summer Is often a worry to
the farmer, and it is also responsible
for much waste and loss. During the
rush season higher farm wages must
be paid, and often enough the pro-
ducts cannot be marketed or harvested
in time to get the best results. Now,
by taking up winter dairying SYSTEM
atically we redistribute this whole
work, and devote most Of our time to
securing good crops for the animals to
live on when giving us the most in re-
turn.
One of the weakest points of dairy
men in the past has been that of rails
ing adequate crops for their animals.
The shiftless me would have indif-
ferent pasture for them in the early
spring and summer, during which time
they would manage to get the heaviest
and richest yield of milk. In the fall
and winter the animals would have to
worry and starve along on cornstalks
or other poor fodder. Those who were
more progressive would provide some
soiling crop for late fall feeding, and
would lay in a fair amount of good
hay. But this system even was only a
poor makeshift. 1t was not until the
silo came into general use that we
could see u way to furnish the cows
with something like decent, s%ucculent
food. Now with the ensilage, good
soiling, winter roots, good hay and
coarse fodder, we can winter our best
mich cows almost as successfully rs
in summer. They get not only a va
riety of food, but rich, succulent, milk
making rations, They thrive on this
food, and with proper care yield nearly
as much milk as in summer.
Winter dairyins thus consists OF the
proper distribution of our farm work
over the whole year. In the summer
our time and attention must be given
chiefly to the growing of good crops
for winter feeding. Pastures will sup
ply the cows with their summer food,
and all the heavy, cultivated crops can
hen be garnered for winter feeding.
This work costs no more than the old
method Of raising crops for summer
feeding, and letting the animals half
starve tb ough the long winter.-W. E.
Edward, in American C%uItivator,

Short on E~nglishmcn.

A doleful wall is being raised that the
United Kingdom is not producing as
many Englishman and Englishwomen
as in past times. All countries have
fallen off in human production in the
last twenty-five years years, but we
have fallen off in 4 greater degree than
any other. Germany beats us hollow
But why wall? regard 1t as rather
a matter for rejoicing. We have al
ready a good deal of trouble 20 find
work for our workers, and l see no
reason why we should be converted
into n breeding establishment for our
colonies, or for the interior of Africa.
When an increased population is need
ed, encouragement should be given to
those who have large families.
In an over-populated country whose
area is limited, we should neither EN-
courage o discourage large families,
but we should rejoice If they are no,
very large. These matters should be
left to settle themselves. The numbeI
of people to divide the cake Will in the
long run depend on the cake'-London

The story of the Generals Illness is
brief. On Wednesday afternoon he
walked downtown apparently in the
best of health to visit his old law part
ners, Miller & ELAN. At night he was
well enough to make a social call. He
was well when he arose Thursday
morning, but shortly after breakfast
at 0 he was seized with a chill,
The physicians who were summoned
Immediately said the chill was an evil
hence of grip. Not until Saturday did
the Generals condition give his family
and friends cause for alarm. Then
the left lung showed inflammation,
and pneumonia developed rapidly.
General Harrison's wealth is va
riously estimated, public opinion rat
ing it as high as half a million dollars.
Those who are best informed about
the former Presidents affairs, how
ever, say he was worth about 100000.

A Dawson correspondent of the To-
ronto Globe notes that for ten consecu-
tive days in January last the average
minimum temperature in that far-off
corner Of British North America was
sixty degrees below zero. The very at
mosphere seemed solicited by the in
tense cold, and liquids exposed in bot
ties TO the outer air froze hard as
though they were water. When it is
considered that in the Alaska gold
mining districts there are from 10000
to $4,000 persons from more southerly
climes who annually endure this fear
full cold without murmuring or seri-
Gus discomfort, the mastery of man
over the elements is brought clearly in
evidence.

Harrison was brevetted a brigadier
general. General Harrison served with
credit and without injury until h end
of the war.
General Harrison was elected to the
United States Senate in 1880, and filled
that office for six years. AS a member
of the Foreign Affairs Committee he
assisted in the consideration and
amendment and united in the unani-
nous favorable committee report of,
and voted in the Senate for, the Chi
nese Restriction bill. His Senate term
expired on March 4, 1887, and he then
returned to the practice of his profess
sion.
In the Chicago convention, in June,
1888, he was nominated as the candi-
date of the Republican party for Pres
ident of the United States, and was
selected on the eighth ballot. He ran
as an avowed protectionist and was
elected, defeating Grover Cleveland,
Democrat.
He was inaugurated twenty-third
President of the United States March
4, 1889. His Administration is famous
for the passage of the Mckinley bill,
n high tariff measure; the negotiation
of several commercial and reciprocity
treaties and controversies with Chile,
Italy and Great Britain, growing out
of the Chilean revolution; the New Or
leans lynching and the Boring Sea
difficulty. He was renominated for
President on the first ballot in Mime
apolis on June 10. 1892, and was de-
feated at the polls by Grover Cleye-
land.
General Harrison's public services
were valuable to the country after he
left the Presidential chair. He APP
peared for the republic of Venezuela
as the agent before the tribunal in
which Chief Justice Fuller and Assist
| ant Justice Brewer were selected to
| represent that country, and was asso-
| ciated with General Benjamin f.
Tracy.
General Harrison was twice married.
His second wife was Mrs. Mary Lord
Djmmfck. The wedding took place
in April, 1896, and in February, 1897,
n baby girl was born. General Harri-
son was then sixty-four and his wife
twenty years younger.

somewhat similar to a, is bolted on q
post at the windmill, in such manner
as to have the reciprocal motion of the
mill applied to it. The two devices are
connected to each other by wires fast
ened in the holes in ends of each arm.
The motion of b at the windmill tow
er is therefore communicated to n on
the pump standard, which may be at
any distance from the windmill. The
holes in each device can be about two
feet apart. When wires are to be run
an extra long distance, OF over very
Uneven ground and other obstacles,
they are supported by posts on which
are bolted movable arms similar to a

can be raised out of the way.
Another excellent device is shown.
fhe crank, or handle, C, on one end of
the rod or shaft, takes the place of the
pump handle, while d. on the other end
Of the shaft, receives the motion from
the mill. The rod ON which these two
contrivances are placed can be of al
most any length. Where it is not pos
sible TO run it direct from the mill to
the pump, it can be Joined by means
of a universal joint, and run around or
over any obstacle. This joint is shown
at e, and consists Of two shaft or arms,
each terminating in a semicircle, and
connected by means of a cross upon
which each semicircle is hinged. When
one shaft is turned, either to the right
OIL left, the other shaft turns in the
same direction. Any good blacksmith
will be able to make it. The material
used in the rod connecting pump to
mill can be either one-half or one-inch
iron, or common inch gas pipe, screwed
very tightly together.-J. G. Allshouse,

1t is altogether probable that the
number of tramps in the country has
been overestimated. The tramp is a
perambulating person whose business
it is to go about, and who for hat rea-
son gets himself frequently counted,
and thus appears to be more numerous
than he actually is. There is no doubt,
however, that in all parts of the coun-
try there are more tramps than there
should be. In Massachusetts, where
the subject of vagrancy has been a
matter of State investigation, there
were 207,0S1 cases in 1899. The tax
laid upon private charity, of course,
cannot be ascertained but the draft
upon the public purse was $33,0SG. In
towns where tramps We're made TO
work in payment for help afforded
them the burden of support was very
light. There is nothing so abhorrent
to the soul of a confirmed vagrant as
labor He seems to loathe the bread
he is made to earn.
