Three Of the negroes We're landed in

night mass.
Seeral times the police We're pushed
aside and their prisoners were struck
and kicked, while men shouted Lynch

doors Of the Jail and demanded the
surrender Of the prisoners after the
negroes had been taken inside, and
last night the feeling in Plainfield and
North Plaintield was intense.
The negroes arrested first are Whit

the world stood still if such accident
befell him; but this little Hungarian hero
accepts the pain as a part of life and
gets all the JOY he can out of the kinder

them as they stand in the circle. Sylvia s
bows are as serious and wel-considered as
those OF any grande dame, and one is con-
scious of a sense OF keen disappointment
when one of the little boys disdains to re-
spond to the stately inclination which the
small apple-cheeked maid makes before him.
Everybody must play Sylvias game when
she asks him. says the bright-haired teach
er from the piano. and the little boy steps
haltingly into the circle. When the game
is over each player is dismissed by bow
from Sylvia. but nobody may return to his
place until he has been SO dismissed.
