Loudenslager,s Candidacy.

Congressman Loudenslagers appearance
as Senatorial candidate seems to have
been specimen of Mr.. Loudenslager's
politics. It is the general impression that
he made his announcement in order to
strengthen his chances for another nomina-
tion for Congress, the impression being that
as his district will hereafter be composed OF
the counties of Salem, Gloucester and
Camden, those who control affairs in the
latter county would be willing to promise
him a denomination if he would get out of
David Baird's way as Senator. But the
announcement has had a contrary effect, for
it has angered Baird and his supporters,
and they declare that some other man than
Loudenslager will be nominated. Mr..
Loudenslager evidently thought that those
in this district who have for so long been
fawning on him would make haste to enroll
themselves under his senatorial banner and
it must be CALLING to him to find that he is
credited with the possibility of controlling
just one vote in the senatorial caucus
Sunbeam.

The persons who have the greatest inter
est in the modification of the plans of the
sewer system or its abandonment as advised
by the Mayor, are the bondsmen of the Arti-
fetal Paving Company, and Council is wise
in refusing to make any departure from the
original plans, or entertain an idea Of
abandonment on the mere opinion of any
body, unsupported by positive proof that
the plan is defective or the engineer incom-
potent. Mr.. Sithens struck the bulbs eye
of the-sewer controversy when he said there
would have been no trouble if Engineer
Easily had been less loyal to the city in
compelling the contractor to live up to his
agreement in the performance of the con-
tract. We would have had peace, but the
city would have been cheated. As it is, we
have trouble, but we will yet have COM
plete, perfect system of sewerage.

Last Monday night about twelve o'clock,
as our barber, Chas. Strang, who boards at
the Leon House, returned from a lark, he
heard footsteps outside the house and
determined to wait a short time, as Mr..
Davenport's dog, Joe, was making a great
noise. He had only short time to wait
before a mans hand was seen thrust
through the blinds, trying to slide the
bolt. In the meantime, Charley had noise
lessly secured gun, and pointing it with
in two feet of the mans head, could have
blown it off, but changing his mind, not
wishing to kill the man, opened the door
This frightened the burglar and he ran
across I. B. Kier's field with Strang, gun
in hand, in pursuit. Two loads were fired
at the burglar, but without effect. The
man circled around and disappeared
through JOS. Persons yard.

1t is said that the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York and other great
corporations in that city and New Jersey
are uniting to form syndicate of banks
and trust companies which will include
both new and old concerns of great wealth
in both States. 1t is said also that the
Prudential and the Equitable Life Com
panies and trust companies and banks Of
this State and New York are effecting 8
similar organization, and that eventually
the financial interest Of New Jersey and
much of New York will be under control Of
practically two great combinations only.
A few years ago this would have seemed to
be the mere dream of an imaginative
scheme; to-day it seems quite probable. 1t
would be in line with much else in the way
of combination, and in inanciering COM
bination seems more practicable even than
in trade or manufacturing.

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu.
ional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
attained condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets lnfiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces

invariably to those who have once used

than for people to call for it when again in
need of such remedy Try them when
you feel dull after eating, when you have a
bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have
no appetite or when troubled with constipa-
tion, and you are certain to be delighted
with the prompt relief which they afford.

THE KISCHIEVOUS EMU.
ArIckS OF one of the Big Birds That
Were Done to Annoy Its
Keeper.

In an article in Century on "Ani-
mails in British Parks" and especial
ly on Warnham court, Mrs. Annie II.
Knight tells this anecdote of the
English pheasant:
Down through the meadows we
come to the playground of the poet,
Shelley, where the old mill still
stands, its grinding-stones proppe6
against its sides, quietly registering
the flight of time. Swans glide to and
fro upon the pond or rest upon it's
edge; black-and-white rabbits scurrv
across the wooded paths; fan-tailed
pigeons disport upon the lawn; in ta..
tall grass tiny fawns feign sleep.
while furtively watching with half
closed eye; and everywhere the mis-
chievous emu stalks about in con-
scious pride of his Importance in this
strange land.
THE a special aversion of the
gamekeeper's, this bird takes appar-
ent delight in annoying him in every
way. Frying about until he finds a
choice nest of pheasant's eggs, he
dispatches the dainty morsels in
stantly, thereby destroying the hopes
of both keeper and hen. Every effort
to break him of this pernicious habit
has been unsuccessful. once the
keeper resolved upon a plan which
he thought would without doubt
prove effectual. Having hard-boiled
number of eggs, he carried them
Pm steaming-hot water to the field
MI rNln
ready emu. Much to his surprise,
the dish seemed to appeal strongly
TO the voracious appetite of the bird,
for in a twinkling they were gone.
n seeming look of wonder accompa-
nying his grateful appreciation OF
this unusual attention.
