Reed Bird Party.

On Wednesday last, Joseph Sitben, Of
Swedesboro, gave cunning party to some
of his many friends. Eight guests Shout
dered their guns with the intention of
bringing in enough for supper, and not
withstanding the high wind, the party
succeeded in bagging PIT of the succulent
tribe. They were then taken to our friend
Joseph's and soon their jackets were off of
them and the good wives of the eight in
dustrious marksmen cooked them. The
party with their wives then surrounded
them and commenced to separate the flesh
from the bones, which was rather tedious,
1 assure you, but when the party was
through I think there were the legs of one
bird left. We hope our friend Joseph will
not forget to repeat the same another year.
It is good place to go to enjoy yourself.

The following declaration was read and
adopted:
Meeting to-day, ON the day after the twentieth
anniversary of the death of President Garfield,
who was stricken by the deadly bullet of an
assassin in our country's capital the eve of
our great national holiday, as well as on the day
after the remains of our beloved President
Mckinley were consigned to the grave, in his
peaceful home at Canton, Ohio, and in the con-
sequent gloomy shadows of this great national
sorrow and calamity, causelessly inflicted by
the hand OF brutal assassin, in time OF uni
versal peace throughout the land, and during
the joyous festivities of public reception in o
celebration OF our commercial greatness at
Buffalo, The Board of Chosen Freeholders of
Gloucester County, representing the law abiding
and ordcr-loving people of the county, without
distinction to party or sect, desire this occa-
sion to unite with their fellow citizens of our
common country in expressing their great de-
testation and severe condemnation of the cow
ardly assassination of President Mckinley, by
the wanton act of miserable villain, in the
execution OF one OF the foulest crimes per-
petrated in this any other land; and we
hereby demand the speedy trial of the guilty
brute who committed the dastardly murder,
together with all others who may be proven to
have been accessories with him in Committing
the appalling crime which has thus plunged our
country in grief and sorrow throughout its
borders. We call upon the National and State
Legislatures and other authorities to enact and
enforce such additional laws as may be neces-
sary to effectually prevent the future occurrence
of such monstrous crimes, and to bring to speedy
justice all persons who may conspire to commit
them.
We desire further to express most kindly
sympathy with the patient and afflicted wife Of
the President in her heavy burden of sorrow
and to assure her and the whole American peo-
pie that county in the United States feels the
death of William McKinly, President more
keeniy than does Gloucester county and that
no county is more ready to honor his memory
than ours. We honor him veteran soldier
OF the great Civil War; we honor him as a dis
tinguished member of Congress; we honor him
as the successful Governor of the great State OF
Ohio; and we honor him as the twice chosen
President of the United State-and in each OF
which positions his only ambition has been to
serve the best interests of The who people OF
the common good of all.
We resolve that certified copy OF these
declarations, signed by the Director and Clerk
be forwarded to Governor Voorhees, and Con
gresham Loudenslager for their attention and

An Amused Foe.

cultivates habit of squattlng on its
launches like bear or kangaroo and

land, half collie, fat, good natured and
intelligent. The tiny kitten, instead
of boiling at once for shelter, retreated
a few PAGES, sat erect on its hind legs
and put it's fists" In an attitude Of de-
fiapce.
The contrast in size between the two
was intensely amusing. 1t reminded
one of Jack the Giant Killer preparing
to demolish giant.
Slowly and without n sign Of excita
bility the huge dog walked as far as
his chain would allow him and gazed
intently at the kitten and its odd
posture. Then, as the comicality OF
the situation struck him, he turned his
head and shoulders around to the spec.

nor growled, but INDUCED in a low
chuckle, while mouth and eyes beameo

Ear,y pn,. of Freemasonry.

Outside of England and her colonies
the development Of Masonry was by
no means rapid. but the church early
took the alarm. and In 1893 Clement
XII condemned II In his bull. In Emf
nenti. No reason for this was alleged
except its secrecy and that under its
rules men of all religions associate to-
gether, giving rise to suspicious Of evil.
wherefore all members incur excom-
munication removable only by the
pope. and all bishops are instructed to
prosecute and punish them as vehe-
mently suspect of heresy.
AS the parlement of Paris refused to
register this hull 1t could scarce accom-
plish much outside of the papal states,
except in Spain. but within them 1t
was rendered effective by an edict of
the cardinal secretary of state Jan. Ia,
1889. pronouncing irremisslble pain of
death. not only on all members. but on
all who tempt others to join or favor
the society In any way, such as leasing
a house for its use. This was a decla-
ration of war to the knife. although the
only victim of the death penalty Is said
to have been the French author of a
book on Masonry.-N Lippincott

An,ma,n mat wesp,

''ife cried like u calf," Is q remark
sometimes heard. 1t is no disgrace for
q calf to cry. and he sheds tears In
quantities when his emotions justify
them. 1t is even easier for him to cry
than for many other animals, because
his lachrymal apparatus Is perfect and
very productive.
A scientific writer writing In La Ma
ture says that the ruminants are the
animals which weep most readily.
Hunters have long known that a deer
at bay cries profusely. The tears will
roll down the nose of bear when he
feels that his last hour Is approaching.
The big, tender eyes of the giraffe fill
with tears as he looks at the hunter
who has wounded him.
Dogs weep very easily. The dog has
tears both in his eyes and voice when
his beloved master goes away and
leaves him tied up at home. Some va.
rietles of monkeys seem to be particu'
larly addicted to crying, and not few
aquatic mammals also find 1t easy to
weep when the occasion requires It,
Seals In particular are often seen to
cry.
Elephants weep profusely when
wounded or when they see that escape
from their enemies Is impossible. The
ones that are known to weep, but there
is no doubt that many others also dis
play similar emotion.

A New Lure For churchroer..

Devices to attract congregations to
church are spreading from sensational
ism to businesslike @stheticism. The
Sussex (England) News says there is a
place Of worship where tiny bouquets
of flowers are at the close of every
morning service handed to each lady
member of the congregation. During
service the flowers decorate the altar
and the pulpit. The plan is defended
on the ground that since 1t was insti-
tuted the congregation has largely in
creased, and the larger offertory en-
ables the clergy to distribute more
money among the parish charities. Sue
cess. however, was largely assured
from the fact that the parish mainly
consists of houses without gardens, and
flowers, therefore, cannot be grown to
any great extent.

The house In which I staId faced a

write "a hundred trains a day." but,
unfortunately for the light sleeper,
many OF them pass In the night.
Just as one gets to sleep an express

lanche and rouses one with start
When you have recovered from the
fright and are settling yourself for a
second attemp, at sleep, a goods train
arrives on the scene and shunts into a
siding just under your window. You
lie awake listening to the bump. bump,
bump. of the buffers and the occasion
nj whistle of the engine, wondering
how long 1t will be before the wretched
train moves on.
At length II is gone, and, being past
midnight. you feel you can safely turn
over and settle yourself for the night
You drop asleep to the soft music of 0

at distant iron forge, to be aroused
again perhaps about In the morning
by an early excursion train. Between

where the Dre.. Money Goes


Do you know where goes the money
you pay for an expensive gown? 1t is
divided In a manner that may surprise
you unless you are initiated by some
one. as was by a bookkeeper of a
large New York establishment which
affects all that Is extreme in fashion
and expense. A 5000 creation was TAX
en- as an example.
You pay 5000 for the gown, and the
money goes into number of hands.
Those who performed the labor In put
ting the dress together after II left the
cutters hands do not get more than
$15. The material will cost $3.50, while
the administrative, originative genius
at the head of the establishment re-
ceives 500 for imparting his concep-
tion to his staff. This staff of men and
women. with suavity Of manner, busi-
ness experience. tact and talent that
will satisfy the judicious as well as the
frivolous. will get $780, Then about
$40 is for interest on capital and mon.
ey outstanding to which must be add
ed $55 for bad debts. Those who do
pay must pay for those who do not pay,
and no establishment is too fashionable
or too high toned to have unpaying
debtors on Its books. Now we have a
cost of $510. which when deducted
from the $GO0 you paid leaves 500 net
profit.-New York Herald.

where coach driver in remote Eng

four came rattling up to the hotel door
like an avalanche. AS the coach stop
ped one of the horses dropped dead.
THAT was n very sudden DEATH" re-
