The Ladies of the Turn verein Gave
 Unique Entertainment.
 Last evening the ladies of the Turn Verein Vorwartz society gave a social at the Turn hall on Scovill street. The grand march was led by Mrs William Drescher and MT Holman. During the march electric sparks were burned, making beautiful display. A lot of pleasure was derived from the match making before the grand march, each lady on entering the hall being SUD- piled with fan on which was a motto The men were supplied with cards From these they were to match with the ladies and select their partners Another special feature was the ser pentine throwing. This was the most successful social the society has held Credit is due to the energetic commit tee, composed of Mrs Drescher, Mrs Charles Floring, Mrs Groetzenbacb.

Boys Fined $5 and Costs Bach for
 Throwing Stones.
 This mornings session of the city court was tiresome. Judge Peasiey presided. Considerable time was spent ill trying to find out who knocked down William Leonard, q character well known to the police, at the corner of Cherry and East Main streets, last night. Leonard, with his wife and daughter, were going home, when he was knocked down by an Itallan named Felix France. Two interpreters were engaged in the case, but nothing could be got from them. One contra dicted the other. Officer Geraghty, who made the arrest, said he heard shouts of murder and saw Leonard on the ground. Leonard and his wife were apparently sober A crowd Of about fifty was on the scene in min ute. It was evidently impossible to get connected story and sentence was suspended.
 Tony Felic and Amos Laplant were charged with burglary. Both are boys about 10 years old. The complainant in the case was a Mrs Hill, who lives on North Elm street. It appeared to be her custom on going out to leave the key under the door mat or some such place. However, Laplant found 1t and with Felice he got into the house and made off with some ribbons and a few small trinkets. Laplant's father said he would send him to his grand father in Canada if he was let off, and Feliee's promised to take Of his boy also. On this understanding the case was continued.
 The case against the eight boys for breaking a window in Edgar Oorbett's house on the corner of Wilson and West Main streets dwindled down to 8 case against three of the eight, Will, liam Butler. William Johnson and Wal ter Peck. The other five were Thomas and Roy OiNaill. Lewis Wright, Ed ward Kelly and Frank Straw. The prosecution tried to show that because two ke-breakers roomed in the house the boys threw the stones. The defense claimed 1t was an accident. fine of & and costs was imposed in each case. @ .

Of Man Supposed to Be Connected
 With Dynamite Plot.
 New York, May 15--A. B. Skinner, head brakeman on the West Shore train which arrived from Buffalo at Weehawken at s:45 on the night of April 26, has positively identified q picture of G. Rosseau, the dynamiter, as that of one of the passengers on his train. Rosseau, with a companion, boarded the train at Buffalo having been transferred from the Wabash road.
 "I remember the two men distinct zly.'' said Brakeman Skinner. "Ros- seau asked me how. long his trunk would be kept at the West Shore without storage charges. I told him the rules of the road in that matter
 He explained that he and his con- panion were to sail on the French line the following Wednesday. He spoke excellent English, although fmpressing me as either an Italian or Frenchman. I remember that they had considerable hand baggage and that when the West colt express messenger went through the train at Cornwall they decided to keep their baggage instead of having it checked. 44@S''
 ''The men did not mingle with the other passengers. They went out and took lunch at the railroad station in Syracuse, but made no display of mon- ey. They asked me for the nearest hotel to the ferry in New York city and I gave them the address of one.
 ssWhile I recognize the picture of Rosseau, I cannot now remember the appearance of, the other man. Both were dressed like well to do mechanics and both were apparently of the same nationality" s

CONCERTS ON THE GREEN.
Everybody Wants Them But Do Not
 Want Grass Destroved

At the last meeting of the board of public works Commissioner Whiting said it would be good plan for the papers to get some opinions as to would be wise to have concerts on the green or not. A Democrat reporter put the question to few merchants to-day, but none Of them care to dis cuss 1t in a public way. They wanted the concerts provided folks would keep off the grass. but thought this some thing which it would be impossible to do. All favored seats on the green and wanted to see them out for Sun day..

Leila-was eked q youthful grand
motheri
He paced the gravel path in the
moonlight, while the odor OF his cigar
mingled with the fragrance from the
tangle of old-fashioned cinnamon roses
by the gate; and memory went back
to the time when they had hidden each
other farewell-an affectfonate fare
well, he remembered, as his cheek red
dened, he to return to college, the girl
to go to snowy finishing school
abroad, where her ambitious mother
had married her to some beefy Eng
Iishman whom Adelbert had always
hated on principle.
"And she is 10000 times more fas-
cinating now than she was them That
sweet September day when we gath

strange accession of sentimentality.
"Ahi after all, age is but relative

no whit 1ovlier than is that sweet
child, her daughter, the pretty Louise!

Meantime, in the seclusion of her
own bed chamber, Leila Carleton was
standing before the mirror, removing
the jewels which had flashed upon the
f1lmy laces of her handsome dinner
gown.
"Oh, who would ever, ever expect a
man to be Faithful" she asked her
self, with bitterness, forgetting that
she, too, had been somewhat incon-
slant during the long lapse of years.
AS the days went on, it was a sweet
consolation to Adelbert Nye to have
the sympathy of such a neighbor in
his aff1iction-for so he regarded the
possession of such a son, in spite of
his effort to love the uncanny child
and his care and solicitude for the
boys physical welfare. Leila under
stood, and had pity for him. But it
was a source of regret that the child
had conceived an instant antipathy to-
ward the beautiful Louise, who found
a rare pleasure in teasing the boy,

that what he needed for both physical
and mental health was an unlimited

cupid's Good Evesioht.


The poets of all times have stated
That love is blind
To think loves blindness oyerrated
am inclined
When first man loves he only sees
Ills sweethearts charms. her power to
please.
The faults that others see with ease
He cannot find.
But In the days that follow marriage
He's sure to see
The traits that he must needs disparage,
So changed is he.
where charms he saw in days gone by
Now only faults can he espy:
Her temper he must now decry,
Though mild she be.
And so I hold that Cupid's blindness
They overrate;
In view of which it is but kindness
Herewith to state
A fact that's known to morta1s bright:
Though Cupid's foresight may be slight
There is doubt his aftersight
Is very great

lover of her gir1hood to remain the
lover of her middle age?
So the late June days fed; and as
the nations birthday approached, the
early cottagers at the Pier joined with
the townspeople in preparations to
celebrate the day with fitting evidences
of patriotism. There was to be an
early morning parade of antiques and
horribles. followed by a military dem
onstration, parade of automobiles at
noon and an old-fashioned afternoon
picnic, with reading of the Declare
ton and patriotic addresses, ending
with an evening of fireworks.
Such . busy season as it became for
Welcome Nye,
His father was to lead the automo-
bile parade in his fine French racing
machine and deep was Welcomes dis

more especially since that honor was
to be accorded his arch-enemy, Louise
Carleton.
The choice was seem1y and fitting;
yet it caused Louise Carleton's mother
a little pang which she would not ad-
NIT was jealousy, and which she hero
ically strove to ignore, as she aided
her daughter in decorating the Cor
sair, which, in it's floral lines of red
and white carnations and the blue of
the feathery adjuratum, with knots
and festoons of fiuttering ribbons in
the national colors was a thing of
beauty, when their deft fingers had
given it the finishing touches
To the surprise of the townspeop1e,
Independence Day dawned bright and
warm, an ideal day for the celebration.
The events of the morning proved
lively interest in the coming of the
autos, which were to make the round
of the town at noon.
The Corsair, looking like a fairy We
hicle in it's floral adornment, stood in
the open doorway of the Nye stables,
only waiting the coming of it's owner
to start upon it's triumphal progress.
The household was busily engaged, for
it was the lunch hour; all were antic-
ipating the rare pleasure of the af-
ternoon.
Suddenly there was dash, a bang,
a warning tooti toot! the odor and
puff of gasolene, and out of the stable
doorway and down the drive madly
dashed a cumbersome floral bulk
There was a cry of alarm, a rush
from stable and household, hoarse
warnings hurled after an adventurous
and unheeding chauffeur.

other, and that one to the house serv-
ants.
In truth it might have been his sa-
tanic majesty himself, the way that
elfish child dashed down the drive and
into the street.
The anxious group followed him in
mad haste. but not for long.
They held their breath in horror as
they saw the machine zig gag, then
essay to climb the grassy terrace at
the Carleton villa, ingloriously drop
ping back; and then, putting and snort
ing, with whirring of wheels, dash
backward across the road and over
the offset, down upon the rough cob
bles of the beach.
The child lay very still as they res
cued him, seeming to take his mishap
as matter of course.
When they picked him up his left
arm hung limp and there were sundry
smudges and burned places upon his
face; for the Corsair had taken fire,
and was no longer the dainty floral
thing which it had been left as the tri-
umph of womanly artistry.
ANY other child would have been
killed." was the verdict of the physi-
clan who had been summoned in hot
haste-a familiar verdict enough to
all who knew Welcome Nye and his
escapades.
1t was Archie Irwin who had tender
ly lifted the little figure from under
the wrecked machine, and to whom
the child had chung with passionate
affection; but after they had taken him
to the veranda of the villa he had sud-
denly stretched out his uninjured arm
to Mrs. Carleton. and had begun to
sob and cry in a paroxysm which
amazed them all, since repentance and

His mother was one of those married
old maids who abound even In the best
society. He was the child of her mid
die age; and because she resented his
coming, as a check upon her social
gayeties, she had compromised with
her Puritanica1 conscience by calling
him Welcome, after the colonial ances-
tor of her mother.
So, as Welcome Nye. he was sent
forth to create disturbance in the
world; which he did in inverse ratio to
his size and vitality.

regrettable to their elders.
1t was natural that the sedate and
dignified Lawyer Nye should find it
both pleasant and convenient to be
neighborly, and that he should make
calls both frequent and regular at the
Carleton villa
Particularly distasteful to one youth
was the gallantry of Neighbor Nye; to
the bank clerk with small salary, who
devotedly came down from Boston
each Saturday, to pay court to Louise.
and whose heart sank at the sight of
the solid and wealthy director of his
own banking house, whom he found
comfortably at home with the girl, in
the easy chat of an informal afternoon
upon the shady veranda, a state of
bliss which he had been picturing for
himself all the way down in the
crowded, dusty train.
He did not appear well, this disap-
pointed Archie Irwin, as he was pre-
scented to the dignified caller, whom
he regarded with sudden hatred and
ulsmay. What chance had he. he ask
ed himself bitterly, against man with
Nye's money, and profession and posi-
ton? Worst of all. Louise seemed

Odd Doinos in South Africa.

A Dutch traveller, just returned
from South Africa, tells some queer
stories. He stayed for some time in
valley called Balloons Kranz.
There he saw immense armies of
balloons which descended daily to
the wells to drink, making hideous
noises and paying no attention to the
human beings camped near by. These
balloons were harmful enemies to the
settlers in the valley, for they had
the habit of catching the goats when
they were put to pasture and riding
them until the poor beasts could run
no farther. One day while in camp in
Hottentot land he heard a rushing
sound, as If rain were falling in tor
rents. Not far away it seemed to
him as if cloud had actually begun
to fall to the earth. The cloud turned
out to be locusts. The planters and
cattle raisers soon appeared with
their men and gathered them in bags.
They smoked the insects to kill them
and then dried them in the sun, after
which they fed them to the dogs,
chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. The
traveller found that oxen and horses
are especially fond of the locusts, and
get fat and strong during the locust
season, as do the natives, who also
gorge themselves
