HARVEST KING. IS DEAD.
Baby That Took the Part in Parade
 Expires from Exposure to Sun.


 Asbury Park, N. J., Aug 23.-Uharies B. M. Walker, 10-months-old, son of Samuel w. N Walker of Bloomfield, was much admired i'll the annual baby parade yesterday. Early this morn ing the child died. Much care had been taken in decorating the carriage in which the baby sat. The decora- tions consisted of grains and field pro ducts, which were so arranged about the carriage as to form q novel effect. The little fellow really represented the Harvest King.
 s After the parade the child seemed perfectly well and played about the house. 2 He was a chubbyRbaby. and had shown no signs of illness. About midnight the boy became suddenly i'll, and the father went for. Dr. Carsner of Ocean Grove. The, doctor gave some medicine and then departed. The medicine seemed to have little effect, and between and ' o'clock this morn ing the baby died.s g
 Just what caused the illness Is not known. but it Is feared exposure tothe sun was the troubie. Two years ago, when the last baby parade was held, a child from East Orange, died twenty four hours after participating, and it is said that many children have been made i'll every year from exposure In many eases the devices used to attract leave the child wholly exposed to the sun. This, with the excitement from the cheering and the music, it is said, brings sickness to children with nerves that are highly strung.

Primitive Telephone in Africa.

People often wonder how the na- lives in Africa contrive to transmit news with apparently miraculous rapidity across miles of bush and desert. The explanation is simple one. They use the telephone. The Sudanese telephone is nothing like the one in use in European countries. It is of two kinds-a hollowed-out elephant tusk of immense size or a tam-tam. The tusk can be made to transmit seven distinct notes by means of slice of tree bark. which is placed on the outside of the tusk at varying distances from the mouth piece. By means of this instrument sounds can be heard at distance of several miles, and messages are frequently transmitted as much as 200 miles in a single day by these primitive telephones.-Detroit Free Press.

POOL SELLERS IN COURT.
Were Assessed s25 and Costs Each,
 Which They Paid.


 The cases in the city court this morning must have created consider able interest, inasmuch as there was q large crowd of spectators present. Every seat was occupied and several persons had to stand. Judge Burpee and Prosecuting Attorney Durant were in their customary positions.
 Bernard J. Dressel pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness, and was fined $5 and costs.
 John McNabola was given 30 days in Jail for drunkenness and 240 days for being a common drunkard.
 George Fl. Banks pleaded not guilty or drunkenness and breach of the peace. That was also the plea of James Costello. charged with breach Of the peace. AS Costello was only 19 years of age. a guardian was appoint ed Both were arrested last night by Officer Hickey on South Main street, where they were having a fight Banks drew a razor and made three iunges at his opponent. but each time was blocked by a kick in the stomach. Banks was fined 8 and costs for drunkenness and S25 and costs for breach of the peace. Costello was dis charged. Judge Burpee made remark in infiicting the fine that people must understand that they should not draw razors or anK other weapon in a fight
 John Stillman. a stranger in town, was arrested on South Main street about 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Officer Allen when the man asked him for dime. The officer also saw him solicit from other parties. He was fined s and costs for drunken ness and had sentence suspended on the charge of being a vagrant

Timothy Thomas and William Harris. these three young men having to answer to four counts They were charged with Keeping pool room. with keeping a room where pools were sold in selling pool and in assisting in pool selling. Attorney Russell. in behalf of the ac- cused. made a demurrer to all of the complaints. claiming the warrants  were not issued legally. Clerk Mac Mahon had no right to issue the war rants, inasmuch as Attorney Durant was present in the city during the past week and Attorney Bronson knew it. Attorney Bronson replied that he had called at the office of Prosecuting Attorney Durant. but he was not in. He then went to the office of Clerk MacAIahOn and stated the case to him. He had his detectives on hand to go to the Driving park. The warrants were issued. Attorney Russell moved that the indictments should be quash- ed Judge Burpee said it was rather a delicate subject for him to decide in regard to the clerk of the court to is- sue the warrants. Attorney Russelrs claim might have merit i'm it. but evi- dence would have to be given to show that the prosecuting attorney was in town and was able to be reached. Ac- cordingly he overruled the demurrer. and fined each of the accused s25 and costs An appeal was taken under S1OO bonds. Later in the day the ac- cused paid the fines.
