toward his bed a fierce, winged mon, ster with a long bill like the blade of a swOrdflsh flew at him. It was a robust Orange Mountain petroleum nourished mosquito, mighty of wing and of a most atrocfous disposition.
 The recorder smashed at the mon- ster with 8 heavy cane and missed him. With yeH of delight the thing darted at him again. Once more the recorder made mighty lunge at his assailant, but again he missed. The bird of prey retreated to 8 shadowy corner of the room and got ready for another attack. Evidently he was up on baseball tactics. for as the re- corder swung high blow that would have batted him away far beyond Hobokus the creature swoeped down ward and planted his bill In one of the smaller arteries of the calf of tho recorders right leg.
 His honor dropped the stick and with 8 mighty swat of his right hand laid the monster sprawling on the rug. It measured nearly three inches from tip to tip-the mosquito, not the rug.
 The recorders wound bled so pro- fusely that he sent for Dr. F. 0. Shou1, who treated the cut with antiseptic dressing, and after some time succeeded in stepping the flow. The mosquito was the largest ever seen in the neighboFhood of Bloom &aJl 53e

MAN WHO USED A PURSE.
4t Was Too Much for His Fiancee and
 She Broke the Engage ment,

Rumor has it that a belle of this city broke her engagement with a certain Washington club man, 'tiust because he carried his money in a purse" reports the Washington Star.
 "I can't abide," she is quoted as saying, "a man who carries purse at all; and as for one who keeps his change in it; he is simply beyond hope, and it's sure to follow that the man with the little purse will be as little and close aboutA Aeverything else. You may not notice it during the engagement, but it will come later. 6.
 Fancy asking man for money, and have him extract miserable little purse, and begin digging down into 1t, half the time the little piece of leather not being capable of hold ing the amount that one would or dinarily pay for simple frock.'
 And the matron to whom the young belle confded the cause of the broken engagement was heard to re- mark afterward that she would not be surprised if there was not consid- erable truth in what she had heard, and, while it might not warrant most girls breaking an engagement, still, 1t was 8 thing for them to ponder nvar $

STOPPED ALL WORK
On Big Buildings Now Under
 Construction.
TEN THOUSAND MEN ARE NOW OUT

Building President Says Action Was
 Because They Could Not Get Hoist
 ing Done, and the High Rate
 of Wages Caused a Loss.
 NEW YORK, June 1S--President S.. F. Mcconnell of the George A. Fuller Construction company, which stopped work on all of the big buildings which it has under construction, thereby throwing out of work about 10000 men, denies that the company had, in- stituted lockout as result of any agreement with the Building Trades Employers association, of which it is not member. Judge Mcconnell, when seen at the main office of the company, said:
 'We have never concealed the fact that our sympathies are with the em- ployers' association, but nevertheless our action in stopping work was not the result of any arbitrary agreement with the members of the associa ton. We stopped work fer two good req sons-frst, because the engineers were on strike and we couldn't get any hoisting done; second, because several of the building trades organizations have been raising the rates of wages. We believe 1t will be improbable to continue the work at the increased cost of construction which the arbitrary de- mand for higher wages would entail. would not venture to say how long our enterprises will remain at stand still, but in the circumstances 1t is use- less to attempt to continue. No other builders seem able to stem the tide of increased wages and arbitrary de mands of walking delegates.''

BATTLE WITH MOSQUITO.
New Jersey Judge Fights Bitter Duel Which Is Without Peer in
 History of ChivaIry.

Loud war cries and much shedding of blood marked the battle between Recorder Jacob c. Post. of Bloom field, N. J., and monster mosquito of the Orange Mountain species. The recorder had held court all day and he slept like log until shortly after midnight. Then he was awakened by loud, strident, insistent yell of:
 "Him-m-m-m-m!''
 So vicious was the slogan, so sig ni6cant of a raging blood thirst, that the recorder trembled as he aweke, struck light and began to search for an intruder. He found no one. Then he thought that perhaps some passing late drinker had amused him. self by blowing one of the fiendish revolving bicycle whistles. He looked out of the window, but saw no one in the street.

PrOclaims His Motto For the Sacred
 Cross and Liberty.
 GENEVA, Switzerland, June 1S.-- King Peter has telegraphed to Bel grade the following manifesto to be proclaimed to the Servians:
 Thanks to the favor of God and the will of the people, am called to the throne of my ancestors. I submit my self to the popular decision and ascend the throne of Seryia.
 T consider it to be my first duty to thank God for the favor accorded me, and express the hope that the powers will hail my succession as an event whfch will give Servia an era of re- pose, progress and order.
 t'I give my word to respect the rights acquired by all.
 T will be the protector of the legal ity and well being of the people.
 "I call upon the heads of the church and the military and civil fs1nctionaries to retain their functions ana execute them conscientiously.
 T declare that I banish from memo ry all acts committed during the past forty years having bearing upon me.
 Every honest Servian will find un- der my reign protection for his moral and material life.
 "The motto of my dynasty is, For the sacred cross and cherished liberty. ,
 Ut is with that motto, assured of the attachment of the army and church, that ascend the throne as Peter l., king of Servaa"
 King Victor Emmanuel has tele- graphed his congratulations to his brother-in-law, King Peter of servia, and expressing his wishes for the tranquility and prosperity of the coun- try under the new regime.
 Emperor. Franz Josef answered King Peters telegram formally acquainting him with his accession to the throne. The imperial reply is couehed in very cordial terms but one passage has at traoted attention.
 In 1t his majesty expresses the hope that King Peter will long be spared to restore peace and prosperity to sorely tried country which has been lowered in the eyes Of the whole civilized world by he1nous and loathsome crime.
 This statement, which can be ac- cepted as fully representing the ppin- ion of the public as well as that en- tertained in official circles, has not failed to create an impression in the Servian colony in Vienna, and it is surmised 1t will also have due d1eSet < >elsewhegg
