Said 10 Have Been Combination of
Dante and sayonarOia.
A close friend of George Ellot's,
writing of her personal appearance,
said:
"She was not, as the world in gen
eral Is aware, handsome or even
personablc woman. Her face was
long; the eyes not large or beautiful
in color they were, | think, of a gray
ish blue; the hair, which she wore In
old fashioned braIds. coming low down
on either side of her face, Of n rather
light brown. II was streaked with
gray when last | saw her. Her figure
was Of middle height, large boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
inherited from her peasant ancestors
a frame and constitution. originally
very robust. Her head was finely
formed, with noble and well bal
anced arch from brow to crown. The
lips and mouth possessed a power OF
infinitely varied expression.
George Lewes once said to me,

She has been compared TO the portraits
OF Sasonarola (who WAS frightfuD and

looking, was Handsomely. Something

DAIRY NOTES.

Glover Is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity In feeding and milking Is
important.
To get all of the butter the cream
must be uniformly rlpened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk.
Cows that are good producers OF
rich milk must be good consumers.
In order to secure rich milk start
with rich cow and feed her rich
foods.
In small quantities cottonseed meal
Is good feed, but In excess 1t In
Jures the butter.
Kicking COW that Is lying down
may make her get up more quickly,
but 1t will not induce her to give any
more milk.
If rock salt Is kept In the yard where
the cows can lick 1t every day, there
is no danger that they will get too
much at once.
One of the most important eondl-
lions of churning is the temperature of
the cream, No guess should be allowed,
but good thermometer used.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.

The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. By wearing Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughsand colds. Benson's Plasters
are sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex-
anime when you buy. Seabury d

Tuckerton.

The members of the Masonic Lodge,
who have been considering the matter of
building public hall, have concluded to
remodel their present quarters.
Weak fish are biting at a lively rate
just now, and scarcely a fishing party
goes out but they return with good big
string of beauties. From fifty to one
hundred is not an unusual catch,
Alexander Seaman, of Atlantic City,
was arrested by Marshal Gaskill here on
Wednesday, charged with stealing $14
from his grandfather He was lodged in
the lookup, acknowledged the theft and
restored about half the money. His
father paid the balance and he was re-
leased.
The Board of Freeholders at its last
meeting instructed it's counsel to proceed
to collect delinquent taxes from the
boroughs of Tuckerton and Island Heights
The Tuckerton deficiency was brought
about by those who refused to pay their
taxes while the borough question was in
litigation.
Fire was discovered in cook house in
the rear of the Gaskill property, on Water
street, at noon on Wednesday, and but
for the promptness of several neighbors
it is likely considerable damage would
have been done Buckets in the hands OF
willing workers soon quenched the flames,
but not until the interior of the building
and the contents were badly damaged.

KILLED hv Liphtninp.

During the shower last Tuesday night,
lightning struck the residence of Joseph
Loveland at New Gretna and instantly
killed his wife, beside almost wreckine
the cottage.
Mr.. Loveland, who is engaged on fish
ing steamer, was not at home. Mrs. Love.
land heard the shower approaching and
conversed with her mother about going
down stairs. She carried two children tC
an adjoining room and had entered hel
bed room again when terrific crash came
Mrs Loveland fell to the floor a corpse
no signs of life being manifest as attempts
were made to revive her.
The lightning seemed to have separated
after entering the roof, one bolt following
piece of stove pipe in the attic thence tc
the room beneath through Mrs. Loveland'i
body and to the lower floor of the dwell
ing. The other bolt tore out one end Of
the house, came within foot of the head
of the bed wherein laid Mrs Loveland's
mother, but did not injure the lady in the
least
This sudden death was a shock to the
community. Mrs. Loveland leaves hus.
band and three children. She was Al
years of age.

The Baxter Suit.

On Thursday testimony will be taken
in the suit of Harrie Allen Baxter, of
Great Neck, Long Island, against the Star
Publishing Company, to recover $50, 900
for alleged libel. The present case is
against the New York Journal, and re-
suited from publications concerning Bax-
ter's alleged attempt to ALLEVIATE the af-
fections of Mrs. Benajah P. Wills, it hav-
ing been apparent that it was not his
special purpose to gain the hand in mar
riage of Miss Mabel Wills, but to sup
plant the Judge and secure control of
Mrs. Wills fortune. Strength was given
to this belief when Baxter began to trans
act business for Mrs. Wills with a power
of attorney which she gave him. This is
one of the facts in this celebrated case
which aroused the indignation of the
public. In his suit Mr. Baxter very
foolishly denies that he was ever arrested
in the courts here for assault and battery
or that he was ever pursued by citi-
zens, or that he interfered with Judge
Wills business or the affairs of his
family The evidence will be taken to
prove the truth of the facts as published
by some twenty witnesses. Baxter will be
represented by Charles Brooks, son of the
famous criminal lawyer. now deceased,
while the Star Company's interests will
be looked after by Einstein, Townsend,
Guitarman and Shearen, of New York.
and Jacob c. Hendrickson, of Mount
Holly.

New Rreed of Snakes

Francis B. Lee, the Trenton historian,
is well known in this county, and being a
genial fellow, his acquaintance feel at
liberty to frequently ask favors of him.
The latest in this line came from Indian
Mills. A resident of that place wanting
to sell snake to the managers of Cad
wallader Park, Trenton, sent the reptile
to Mr. Lee. The sale does not seem to
have proceeded as fast as desired and the
following letter was sent:
Indian Mills, July IS, 1902
thon Frank Lee:
dear Frank haven't herd from you
aboute that Snake wrote to you aboute
the other Day. haven't you sold him yet
as Snakes is getting skarse and nede the
Money
81 want you to tell the Peple which boss

Atsion river freezes over before thay beside
aboute that Pine Snake. Thare was a
Man to Medford yesterday, who was buy
ing Snakes for the Philadelphy zoo, who
says he will give 80 cents Foote for
Snakes, cash down, and sadie you could
have the Snake for % cents a Foote. 6
Foote of Snake at 25 cents is 81 so, Foote
Of Snake at 30 cents is $3.50. Can't you
see i'm losing Money if you don't hurry
up. l sertanely wish you'd write me real
soon.
81 want to say this. You sadie in the
letter you wrote me that Pine Snakes ct
so much thay would swaller the City
Budget. | amt much ackwainted with
Budgets, but if the Man feeds the Snake
win keep the Budget hid out of Sighte.
the Snake won't never know nothing
aboute it. Peple has queer idees aboute
Snake Food and there amt no use feeding
Budgets and Fixins to Snakes when Mice

Meat is good enough. You tell the Park
Peple that for me.
The Snake have for you was catched
midway between the black swamp
Hukkleberry patch and the old Cranberry
bog. That is CRATE place for Snakes.
All kinds is thare, pines, rattlers, addars,
ylpers, blacks and garters-the last of

powerful tricky when it comes to skeer-

''if you can sell the Snake for me have
scheme to make sum money for US. NV
ideea is to git lot of pines and Rattlers

You know pine can make a whistling
noise like fife and rattler can immytate
Snare drum. can't we cross the pine
and the Rather, and by BREEDING, get
new kind of Snake that will immytate a
fife and drum corr think this is a good
skeme and we could sell Snakes by the
amount of training thay'ye had and not
by the Foote.
81 wish you would spoke to some of the
promoters that gets up trusts about this
they could make good Profit fgger
it would take considerable sum-aboute
$3.50. 00-to do this-most of the Money
would be for building a pen. Slabs is
high. The Snakes would brede them
