ORANGE, July Is, 1901.-A detail of
policemen, headed by stalwart rounds
man, were the most conspicuous attend
ants in meeting of st. Paul's A M. E.
several women of the congregation had
armed themselves with horsewhips and
were prepared and determined to use them
on other members of the church was the
cause of the presence of the peace Off
GERS.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened,
but one woman is said to have approached
Roundsman Brown and told him that it
would be worth $40 to him if he and the
other policemen would 4'step around the
corner for a few minutes. This the
roundsman naturally refused to do
impending trouble in the church ever since
the Rev. DR.. Albert B. Cooper was senI
to a church III Pennsylvania by the con-
ference. Dr. Cooper was a most energetic
minister. He became a member of the
Charity Conference of the Oranges, and
was the only colored man in that body
and he interested himself actively in mu-
nicipal work.
He was single and popular with the
women in the church, and when he was
tearing of hair. 1t was whispered that
there was an element in the church that
had beer responsible for. the removal of
Dr. Cooper and the substitution of the
ed debates have taken place in the
church. 1t was these members who fear
ed the lss of the whips in case the meet
ing became too acrimonious.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July Is, 191.-If

Of course the professor means well. He
is experimenting simply with view to
leaning the best way to exterminate the
mosquito-a result which, if he achieve it,
will make him saint upon the Jersey
calendar But the fact remains that he
has thousands of mosquitoes fattening in
glass jars in his laboratory; and if Jersey
looks upon any man as foe to the COM
monweal it is he who lets mosquito re-
main alive when he has a chance to mash
it.
Professor Smith has angered the long
suffering State further by referring to his
shelves of jars as my mosquito ranch"
Neighbors have visions of old culex cam
tans running wild without bride, while
the unchecked culex salictans chases
madly after in search of whom he may
devour This fellow salictans is bigger
than his chum santans, but they have
formed a community of interest" and
instead of fighting each other they prey
on the long suffering human biped.
OF course Professor Smith insists that
he eventually will do immense benefit to
the public He points out that when he
learns everything about the family life
of the mosquito he will be able to enter
