Glorv of the Marshes

This is the time of the whole year
when the "salt meadows" are most
gorgeous with flowers remarks the
Paterson Press. The display is brill
liant and of many varieties But the
most beautiful of all is the marsh
mallow rose, one of the althaea fam
lily, to which the rose of Sharon also
belongs. These exquisite marsh flow
ers are now growing literally ~ the
millions on the Hackensack meadows
and amid the coarse grasses along
the New Jersey coast, their petals of
pale pink in many places covered the
ground as with a sheet of rose colored
satin.

Sensational Act at Cranberry Lake.

The Lackawanna Railroad has secur-
ed, the services of Will H. Hill, the
worlds greatest Comedy High Wire
Artist for exhibition at Cranberry Lake,
Sunday, August 31st and Labor Day,
SEPTEMBER LIST. Mr.. Hill is the Cham
pion high wire walker of the world, and
his act rs most daring one; and it is
said that he surpasses the famous Blou-
dia, who made the act famous by walk
ing across Niagara Falls on a single
cable.
Mr.. Hill introduces several new fea-
lures, one of which holds the spectators
spellbound, as with a smile on his face,
bids them 'good night" and then pre-
pares his bed and lies down and has
TWO minutes rest at dizzy height.
Unusual interest is attached to this ex-
hibition for the reason that the wire
will be stretched across the upper end
OF the lake one hundred feet above the
water, and one of acts will be diving
from the wire into the lake.
"he Lackawanna has low rates for
both Sunday and Monday and tickets
may be purchased from Morristown,
N. j., to the lake and return for rs cts.
AS no admission will be charged to
the grounds, it is expected that large
crowd will witness the daring and SEN
sational performance. 3577

Establishes Fund For UnIucISy
Vurfmen.

Londol, Aug, 2S.-William G. Whit
ney of New York has founded the
Beresford trust for the benefit of per
sons connected with the turf who are
in need of assistance.
The latest issue of the Racing Cal
endar officially announced the bene-
faction as follows:
Mr.. Whitney of New York, out Of
respect for the memory of Lord Will
liam Beresford, with whom he was as
ISOLATED in the successes of Velodyov-
ski ana other horses, has most gener-
ously handed to trustees 400 preferred
shares of the American Smelling and
Refining company of New York, which
are now yielding an income of about
81, 500.
Mr.. Whitney's original intention
was to confne the benefaction to the
value of the Derby stakes won by Vo-
lodyovski in 1901, but he has now de-
cided to increase it to the above sum
in the hope that it may form a nucleus
of more important charity. The
trustees are Lord Marcus Beresford,
Mr.. Leopold de Rothschild, Sir Edward
Colebrooke and Sir Daniel Cooper, and
the object of the trust, which is to be
called the Beresford trust, is to bene-
fit persons connected with the turf
who may have become reduced in cir
cumstances and when their cases have
been investigated and found deserving
of assistance. The trustees propose
to meet twice year at Newmarket to
consider applications for assistance"

MILES TALKS ON TRIP
Regards 1t as Merely a Visit to
Army In Philippines.
OFF FOR MANILA NEXT WEEK
Possibility That the General Will
Not Make a Report on COndi-
tiOns There Until a Year
From October.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-General Mel
son A. Miles, accompanied by Mrs.

journey to San Francisco, where the
party will arrive in time to sail on
the transport Thomas, which leaves
on Sept. 16. Mrs. Miles may not go
farther than San Francisco with the
general or she may conclude to ac-
company him across the Pacific.
General Miles discussed his trip
briefly during the day. He had just
arrived from his eastern inspecting
tour and said that there were so many
things to do in arranging his office af-
fairs that he had not as yet outlined
III detail his trip after he should reach
Manila.
Merely Visit, Says Miles.
Il regard the trip as merely visit
to the army there" he said. 1T may
be called an inspection tour, and
shall make it Il point to visit probably
every army camp in the islands, al
though, as | have said, this matter has
not yet been determined upon.'
The general expressed regret that he
should not be here during the Grand
Army encampment. He added that his
visit to the Philippines would consume
from thirty to sixty days.
Before going the general will make
his annual report to the secretary of
war, and unless special report is
made on this inspection tour it will not
be reported on until year from the
coming October

General and his party will sail. has re-
Gently been overhauled and fitted up
making her one of the most elegant and
comfortable of the army transports.
1t is likely that the return trip also
will be made on her.

Newport, r. l.. Aug. q. = w. A.
Larned, champion, has defeated R. F..
Doherty, challenger, in the national
tennis tournament by three sets to one;
score: 4-6, Go, Ga, So.
Larned outgeneraled the British
player, who seemed at times on the
verge of a collapse. He was greatly
affected by the heat but hung on
gamely to the end.
The comparative ease with which
Doherty had defeated NJ. d. Whitman
in the finals caused much anxiety for
the safety of the title All the follow
ers of the game seemed to be at sea
in their calculations, for Whitman

the season, was expected to drive the

OF the superstitious old men OF the tribe.
Recently fourteen native residents of
the village Of Kluckwan died Of con.
sumption and 1eht spread the belief that
the boy, in league with the evil one,
through his knowledge OF the white man s
Ieligion, caused the deaths.
The disappearance of the boy from
school aroused the suspicious OF dr Sell
Ion and he started in search. At the out
skirts OF the village he found tracks
leading to a fresh grave. Digging down
he found the boy still alive, his blood
shot eyes rolling in insane agony, his
hair torn in handfuls from his head. His
finger nails were torn off in his efforts
to escape from his horrible prison. The
boy was lifted from the grave ana car
ried to the village. where he lived several
hours, howlpg and crying out like a
maniac, finally dying from the effects OF
suffering and fright. Icht who is re-
