caustIc Criticism.

r. X. Munkittrlck, editor of Judge
tells good story of one of his neigh
bors out in the wilds OF New Jersey
The said neighbor, while in prepare
tory school, concluded that he would
one day startle the world with his
lofty literary style.
Having devoured many works OF
rhetoric, he finally landed in Harvard
where he determined to begin with
his Startling" tactics. He prepared.
at great length, an essay that he says
he considered a masterpiece of sub.
lime and lofty style. When 1t came
back he was quite astonished to find
the following brief criticism written
across its face in large blue-pencil
letters:
Don't you think you took a pretty
long run for SO short slideT-New

Splash of Canoe Paddle Taken Foa
 Swimming Deer.
 UTICA, N. r., Sept. 1.-The first case of the season in which hunter mistook a person for deer in the North woods occurred when Joseph Blu prey, grandson of General John Blu prey of Washington, shot and killed his guide, Frederick Barbour, at Moose pond.
 Barbour had camp on Moose pond and had taken young Buprey and a. party from this village to the pond on a deer hunt. The night was very clear, and the men took advantage of the full moon to hunt the deer which came down to the pond to drink
 Buprey was stationed on the shore at a trail leading out of the woods Barbour and another young man were padding around the pond in canoe on the lookout for deer. The splashing of the paddle attracted Buprey's at- tention, and he fired at once at what he thought was a deer. The bullet en- tered Barbour's breast two inches be- low the heart and passed out between the shoulder blades He died in few hours. He leaves widow and i've small children.

BARNUM INSTITUTE
To Be Closed Unless Generous Public
 Comes to the Rescue.

Comes to the Rescue.
 Bridgeport, Sept 11-Unless gen erous public comes to the rescue the doors of the Barnum institute will soon be closed to the public as the Bridgeport Historical and Scientific society, which has been paying the bills for keeping the building open, is about at the end of it's resources and is al ready heavily involved as a result.
 The institute, as is well known, con- tains collection valued at fully $25,- 900. It is visited every week by be- tween 300 and 400 people
 During old home week, in spite of the other attractions, crowds visited the building and looked over the inter esting collections contained in it.
 Ever since the building was opened the Bridgeport Historical society have been paying the expense of maintain ing the building and have been aided only by one small donation from the widow of the late Pr. Barnum. The expense of keeping this building open so that the~pub1ic can enjoy it amounts to only about $75O year, but even this small sum is proving too much of tax for the society and it will soon close the DuIH1luS III OIOGI LO save US LlOI- ey for other purposes.
 There is a general impression that the city does something towards sup pouring this institute but it does not give it one cent. Undoubtedly MT Barnum intended to complete his gift by furnishing an endowment with the building but he died before carrying out any such purpose.
 The officers of the society include Curtis Thompson, the president, and Edward K. Nicholson, the treasurer. The above statement was made by him and as he has charge of the finances of the society, he should know what he is talking about.
 Thus if the public does not come to the support of the society and help them meet the expenses of maintain ing the building it will have to close the doors to the public and thus the benefit of this most interesting col lection will be lost to the people of Bridgeport.

A FIRED DIsPENSA.RY.
St Johns Parish Will Introduce Char
 itabIe Work.

itable Work.
 St Jolm's church will introduce char itable work on a broad scale about Oc- tober 1. It will be in the nature of 8 free dispensary and aggressive mis- sionary work. Ut is the purpose of the Rev John N. Lewis, who is instru- mental in introducing this new work in St Johns parish, to see that the sick are cared for. the needy are look ed after, and that doctors, trained nurses and medicines will be furnished free to the sick who are in need, re gardless of religion, race or creed.
 A free medical dispensary will be opened in St Johns parish hall where those of the sick who are unable to pay may secure medicine free. A phy- sician will be on duty there at cer- tain hours each day. The free dis pensary maintained by the Boys club on Harrison avenue will abe temporar- fly removed to St Johns parikh hall, thus combining the two. This dis pensary will be supported by the la dies of St Johns church under the head of the Aid society. Bandages, infants clothing and other supplies will be kept on hand.
 One of the best trained nurses in New York will be secured to take charge of the charitable work, to su- pervise all cases of sickness brought to the attention of the department This trained nurse will arrive here in a few days. She will make regular calls to the homes of all patients or needy persons asking for aid, to see fleof khAu SvcA for and instructed in the science of health. Other nurses will be secured if neces. sary.
 In case of births among foreigners and others in destitute circumstances nurse and doctor will be provided without cost The physicians who have already been secured on the staff are the following: Drs Rodman and Munger, specialists; Drs Pomeroy Ballard, Crane, Graves, Barber and Benedict. All are heartily interested in the proposed work and have offered their services free of charge.
 Cripples will be cared for and will be sent to the hospital for treatment if necessary.
 Filth and unc1eanfness are often the cause of sickness. When such is found to be the case the nurse will impart information to the family about clean liness, laying stress upon the phrase @Cleanliness is next to Godliness.'
 The members of St Johns church have become much interested in the proposed work of charity and their en thusiasm and zeal. if continued, mean success and prosperity for the new undertaking. The people have beer liberal in their contributions and al ready sufficient money has been sub scribed to carry on the work for 3 year. St Johns church is one of tht richest in the state and is well able to carry on the work mapped out.
 Rev MT Lewis has had consider able experience in charitable work for he was at one time an assistant tt the Rev Dr Rainsford at St Georges church, New York. which is noted fol it's charitable work among the poor.

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept 11.-It is stated upon excellent authority that the reconciliation between members of the family of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, which. began last spring, when Mrs. Vanderbilt called upon MT. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, is now nearly, if not quite, complete. Recently MT. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt have made a formal call at Oakland, the country place of MT. and Mrs. Alfred G. Van derbilt, and, while there have been no dinner parties or any other equally ob- jectionable means of celebrating the return of peace and happiness to the various branches of the Vanderbilt family, there is nevertheless very sat- isfactory understanding between all it's members

NEBRASKA HAS BIG CORN CROP.
Yield Estimated at oo,ooo,oco Bushels
Frost a Benefit.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 22.-Omaha ho-
tells are filled with country merchants
from all parts of the state making
winter purchases. Winter trade has
been held off till the effect of the
frost on the corn crop could be ascer-
tanned. Experts estimate that the
corn crop will exceed slightly 100000
600 bushels, as against 25,000,o0O more
last season. Railroads which ship
grain from the state keep close watch
and all are agreed that the crop will
be nearly as large as the preceding
season. Frosts were beneficial, say
the merchants and farmers, because
late corn would have kept on matur-
ing and ended soft. Now it is market
able.
