AN OBLIGrNG SHERIFF.
Gave His Prisoner the Privilege of
Sleeping In jail If He Felt
So Disposed.

81 have been spending part OF the
summer on the Island Of Nantucket .
said the summer girl, "and among
other interesting relics of early New
England life l saw the old massive
wooden jail, which has SO far departed
from the use for which 1t was built
as to become one of the sights" says
the New York Times.
There are many interesting stories
connected with this old prison, and the
most modern is the funniest Of all. 1t
sounds Improbable, but was assured
by several persons whose word could
mot doubt that it was quite true.
"It happened some years ago that an
islander was convicted Of some Of
tense, and the Judge who came to the
island from the mainland for the trial
decided to make an example of him
and sentenced him to jail for three
months.
ga couple of mornings later, when
the judge was walking to the pier to
take the boat to return accompanied
by the sheriff, who was Nantucketer,
they passed man saving wood by the
roadside, who touched his hat polite
ly, and said, Good morning, Judge
''The judge stared at him in sur
prise, and said to the sheriff: Isn't
that the man I sent to Jail for three
months?
"'Well, yes, 1t is,' said the sheriff,
,hesitatingly, but, you see-it's this
way, Judge. We don't happen to have
anybody else in Jail, haven't had for
years, and we thought it would be
sorter expensive to hire a man to keep
jail for this fellow, SO / gave him the
key and told him if he would sleep
there nights guessed 1t would be ali
right"

SHIPS co TO BEIRUT
Admiral Cotton, With Two
Cruisers, En- Route.
AMERICAN INTERESTS At STAKE.
The Fleet In Turkish Waters Is
Taken Sby the Insurgents as q
Token of Sympathy With
Their Cause.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 91.-Other than
Rdvices from Admiral Cotton announc-
ing his departure with the cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco for Beirut
there were no developments in the
Turkish situation SO far as Washington
is concerned. No additional informa-
ton came from United States Minister
Leishman, Secretary Hay saying he
bad not heard further from our minis
ter to Turkey. The orders to Admiral
Cotton to proceed to Beirut will not be
Cancelled, it is authoritatively stated,
unless the president SO directs. Such
an order at this time, however, appar-
emily would not avail anything, as the
admiral is now on his way to Turkey.
That Chekib Bey,, the Turkish minis
ter, is manifestly perturbed over the
situation of affairs in Turkey is fully
realized here His uneasiness over the
presence Of an American fleet in Turk
ish waters lest it be taken by the revo-
lutionists as an evidence Of the AmeH-
can governments sympathy with their
cause, it is thought, will not be strong
enough reason for it's withdrawal. The
administration regards it as sacred
duty to see that adequate and prompt
assistance and protection should be
given American interests in the dis
turbed district and for this reason feels
justified in having the war ships sent
to Turkey.
With the departure of the cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco for Bel
rut, as was announced by Admiral Cot
ton to the navy department the entire
European squadron is now on its way
to the Turkish seaport, the gunboat
Machias having left Genoa. The cruis-
ers are much faster than the gunboat,
and. Admiral Cotton catled that he ex-
pected they will reach Beirut by Bri-

One Rather Too MANY.

While Charles Wilcox. of SHARP
street, Millville, N. j., was gathering
huckleberries at the head of Union
lake pond, he had an encounter with
two huge rattlesnakes. At the first
note of warning Wilcox ran and secured
q stout hickory club, cautiously re-
traced his steps, and found a big snake
coiled and ready to strike. After a
desperate struggle of half an hour he
succeeded in killing the reptile.
Scarcely had Wilcox fastened rope
to the carcass when. he heard a rata
tie behind him, and jumped in time ia
escape the fangs of a second and
larger snake. He left the swamp at
once and returned before dark with his
shotgun, but could find no trace of his
second adversary. The snake he
killed measured five feet three inches.
and had 16 rattles and button. This
is the fourth rattlespeka Wilcox haz
killed In the past year.

"THE FATAL WEDDING."
!. J. .z.ss .sssss... .ss,:

With a powerful plot splendidly
worked out, and scenic settings that
make its unfolding exceedingly vivid,
''The Fatal Wedding" which opens a
half weeks engagement at Polls this
evening, possesses g marvellous charm
for any audience. The plot deals with
the adventures of a scheming woman,
who, assisted by male accomplish,
designs the ruin of a happy family,
and the separation OF wife from hus-
band and children, in order that she
contract a marriage with the husband
and thereby gain his fortune. She Is
prevented from doing this, however,
by the timely interference of two
characters, a Frenchman and an Irish
servant woman, who in their respective
parts make no end of amusement for
the audience An unusually strong
cast will interpret the play, and the
scenic effects are among the most real
istic ever attempted in melodrama.
One scene in particular, that of the
famous Palisades at night, showing
the counterfefter's den, gives great
effect, and with the many revolvin z
scenes go to make up as strong a
scenic productio as has been wit
messed in this city. Prices are popu-
lar.

PRINTER BOY IS IMPROVED
Probable That Dog VIII Now

Printer Boy. the famous pointer dog
that was recently injured by Arthur

The ammonia that was thrown on the
animal froze nearly the whole Of his
head and his right side. and the flesh is
now beginning to fall from his body.
He is being cared for by Edward
Lswellyn. and his condition In, on the
whole. quite satisfactory. The opinion
prevails that he viii recover.
1t was at flrst thought that the eyes
had been destroyed. but IT now appears
that the sight was not injured. The
dog closed his eyes In time to save the

in opening both eyes for the frat time

The other 'levles are as follows: Neha-
lem road, mills; courthouse, 2 mills:
Lewis and Clark bridge, ! 1,2 mills;
county schools, mills.
"The Nehalem road levy will run for
1908 and 1904 without change, while the
Lewis ana Clark bridge tax runs for
four years. The school levy is also
permanently fixed.
THE county court win endeavor to
effect u reduction In the levy for gem
aeral expenses, and 1t will depend large
ly on this reduction whether or not
there will be any increase in the court
house levy. The expenses for the
present year viii give US an excellent
Idea Of whatr we will require for 1904,
and we believe there will be no ma
terial difference"
The total levy OF IS 1-2 mills made
last year for general expenses would
ne on this years roll more than $S2,-
5O6. The estimates for 1904 will prob
ably aggregate 100000, so that a IA
mill levy would more than net the re-
qulred amount. The Nehalem road
levy would net, on the roll Of 1908, $S,-
s2s, as against $sS69 for 1909, while the
Lewis and Clark bridge tax on the new
road will bring In $66s1, as against
si771 on the 1902 roll. The school levy
win net s22.so5, as against $15,s24 on the
last roll.
The probabilities nre that the court
house levy will be increased either 1-2
a mill or / mill, and that the levy for
general expenses will be reduced about
4 i-2 mills.

Blackhawk tribe, No. Is. was an or
ganization OF IS members OF the men,
bers but four were English speaking,
the others being Greek-Americans re-
siding ut Clifton. The small percent
age OF English speaking members
made 1t difficult TO secure quorum,

tribe should be consolidated with Con-
comfy tribe, No I.
The consolidated lodge will be known
as Concomly tribe, No. Z, and 1t will re-
tain the charter Of the local organiza-
ton. The present officers Of Concomly
tribe will continue to serve. Black

bership of 1893 and he addition Of 55
