The Intelligence Offices Through
Which They Obtain Situations.
The intelligence Office, as distin-
guished from employment bureaus, is
one which furnishes household help ex-
clusively. Such Offices are of great
number and variety. New York has
more than 300 such offices and other
cities proportionately, while many 9TH
ers combine this with other kinds of
employment. They range from well
furnished, adequately equipped houses
or suits Of rooms in desirable localities
down to single room in a tenement
which is the kitchen, dining room, par
lor and Office by day, and by night the
sleeping quarters not only of the fam
lily, but Of any unplaced girls. 1t is not
unusual in such rooms to find at night
from five to ten people. The Office with
broWnstone front frequently does less
business than the saloon or under
ground Offices. The former secures its
employees By attractive ADVERTISE
ments, keeps records, gives receipts.
The latter have runners with pockets
full of cards, who accost girls on the
streets, steal their pocketbooks, until
they agree to go to the address fur
nished and fight with each other over
girls they claim to have discovered I'M
til the police interfere to save the girls
clothing. All grades of honesty are
found, from the Offices which refuse
fees, knowing they cannot furnish en-
ployees, to those which make no at
tempts whatever and laugh insolently
when the return of fees is demanded

A Freak of the Wind.

Almost beyond belief Is the story
which comes from England Of a trick
the wind played not long ago on the
spire Of a Presbyterian church. It
blew the steeple above the belfry some
twenty-five degrees out Of plumb, so
that the spire pointed in a northwest
erly direction, and it was feared that
1t would fall. When the next morning
men were engaged In Strengthening 1t
the wind veered around and blew 1t
back to its original position OF course
1t was necessary for the men to
strengthen it and its supports, but the
winds freak made their work much
easier.

When they reached the point Albert

That baby once sound asleep must
ON no account be awakened is one of
the cast iron laws Of physicians and
nurses. But few people ever stop to
consider that the same rule holds good
with the young of every other animal.
Hardly any one, even the professed
lover of domestic pets, feels the slight

puppy curled in tempting furry tail,
and sleeping kitten is even more the
butt for this species of rude imposition
Sleep is regarded as luxury for lit

nobody makes any bones of waking it
up either roughly or by series of fur
tive caresses, and the sleepy mite Of

essential to it's comfort and health.
Particularly is this the case where
there are small children in the family.

"Chamberlain's Pain Balm is con-
sidered the best liniment on the mar
ket, " write Post & Bliss of Georgia,

affords such quick relief from rheu-

liniment trial and become acquaint-

self when he had won an unusually
knotty case. He knew he was both
hated and feared by his fellow mem
bers Of the bar. Being hated he didn't
mind, and being feared fattered his
vanity to an intense degree. When
Uncle Terry put himself in his power
and, like a good natured old sheep,
stood to be sheared, Frye only laughed
at his clients stupidity and set out to

only stated that he had found several
promising clews and was following
them, as rapidly as possible, but it all
cost money, and would they kindly
send a draft on account for necessary
expenses, etc. When Albert had taken
away his best client the old scoundrel
suffered the worst blow to his vanity
he ever received. Course the fellowv'
he would say to himself s'I'll pay him
and have revenge if 1 live long enough.
No man ever got the best of me, and in
the long run no man ever shall!'
But there is Nemesis that follows
evil doors in this world, ready to strike
with an Invisible hand all who are lost
to the sense of right and justice. In
Frye's case the avenging goddess lurk-
ed in his inordinate belief in his own
shrewdness, coupled with a fatuous
love Of speculation. A few lucky ven
lures at first in the stock market had
famed the flame.

Bad Accident.

The Southern westbound pas
senger train No. 81. in charge of
Conductor Dan Taylor and En-
gineer Jack Cheatham was badly
injured in an accident about one
mile west of Fayette last Thurs
day evening. A tree was blown
across the track and the engine
struck it and severed it the pro-
jecting end scraping against the
coaches and breaking nearly
every window on one side of the
train. Flying glass cut several
of the passengers but they were
not seriously hurt. The acci-
dent was a peculiar one and
might have resulted more disas-
trously.

The Piano Drawn For.

The Woman's Store was
crowded to suffocation last Fri
day afternoon the occasion being
the termination of the piano con-
test and the awarding of the
handsome instrument which Mr..

The lower house has passed the
| Confederate pension bill. 1t
carries withit an appropriation of
$3.50, 900 for the ensuing twoyears,
$500. 900 in all and it increases
the amount $50, 10000 each year
over the old law which allowed
5000, 900 for pensions. The bill
passed with a unanimous vote.
The lower house has passed
the Jim Crow street car law.
This law requires the street car
companies operating in Missis-
sippi to provide separate COM
partments for white and colored
people, and it's operation will do
much to keep down trouble be-
tween the races. The bill was

fact is the absence of the school |

One of the best bills which has
come before the house is the Wells

sented to the house by Hon. Cal

of the CALVIN vagrant law of

Masquerade Hop.

On last Monday evening the rown-
ing event ofthe season, the Masquerade
Hop, came off smoothly and most sue
cessfully at the Casino. An unusually
large crowd for this late date filled the
hall. "Who is who?n was the princi-
pal topic of conversation during the
evening. There were many cleverly
gotten up costumes. Mephisto in his
glaring red suit, made things hot for
everybody. A Chinaman, fresh from
his native land, made efforts to talk
pig English. The hobo and the two
lively coons, Rastus and Clio, made
things lively in general and created a
deal of laughter. The flower girls,
gypsy girls, a Norwegian peasant girl
and many other clever representations
made the gathering a variated scene
worth viewing. The daughter of Prof.
E. r. tombstone, of Vineland, costumed
as a little kitten was the cutest figure
of the evening. Largely through the
efforts of Hon. Philip Baker is due the
success of this affair-the cap on Wild

The c. M. A. OUTING.

A merry camping party of boys from
the island spent last week at Cape
May Court House in a glorious outing,
raising their tent in a clump of cedars
near the sound landing. From Nom
day until Saturday the affair was one
grand picnic. The boys cooked their
own meals, washed their own dishes,
made their own beds and did every
thing that boys are usually supposed
to detest. They did not murmur-very
much, because it was anovelty to them
it had to be done. They were free and
happy, for there were no mothers
around to tell them when to go to bed,
when to wear coats and when to stop
eating. They went cunning, they
played ball and those who wanted to
tished. 1t will be many a day before
the participants in this glorious outing
will tire of telling tales of the
great times they had. The party was
made up of Harold Hilton, James
Brannan, William Schell, Forrest
Reeve, Norman Ryan, Howard Blaker,
Ethan Reeve and Robert Mickle, all
members of Wildwood's Boy Lodge
the Coming Men of America.

JOHN N. REEVE,
of Wildwood.

The City Band of Millville were CIV
Ell quite "a treat Monday morning in
the shape of an outing. The party left
the Dayton at sever O'Clock under the
guidance of their chaperon, John N.
Reeve, who in his genial and social
way took the party on the trolley to
the boat landing, where four boats were
secured, and proceeding to the domain
of the festive crab, a match was begun
as to which craft should be "high boat"
One hundred and fifIy-five crabs was
the total number caught, and up to the
present writing it has not been possible
to determine which boat caught the
smallest number.
In the evening after the band was
through playing at the Casino they
were escorted by Hon. Philip P. Baker,
John Bright, Prof. E. r. tombstone, OF
Vineland, and John n. Reeve, to the
latter's Office in the post office building,
where a sumptuous banquet, including
the crabs, was given the boys, Mine
host Reeve presiding. After playing
several selections the boys fell to with
a will and in a few hours the table
looked as if a cyclone had struck it.
Speech making and smoking were then
INDUCED in and a vote of thanks was
extended to the Wildwood Board OF
Trade for the generous way the band
was treated during their engagement
this summer, and to John N. Reeve
for his generous hospitality. To use
the language of one of the members OF
the band: 1--WE never played an en-
gagement or went anywhere where we
were better received or treated than in
Wildwood"
