Y NJ q A NOTES.

The subject of Electricity is intensely |
interesting, and few men know as much
as they should or would like to know
about it. A fine opportunity along this
line will be given the men OF Island
Pond next Monday evening, February
LIST, when Mr.. Ernest Filler of Chicago
will give an Electrical entertainment in
the Y. NJ. C. A. lecture hall. A large
collection of original, instructive and
entertaining experiments will be given,
among which are Discovery of Electricity
illustrated, and how fires are started by
Electricity demonstrated. Everyone
who uses electricity for any purpose
should see these series of experiments.
A small admission fee of 10 cents will
be charged to defray expenses. The
| educational committee are beginning
their work with this practical talk by
Mr.. Filler, and hope for large repre-
sentation of the men of the village by
way of encouragement i'll their most
important department of Association
( work.
A large audience greeted state secre-
tary F. S. Morrison at the mems meeting
last Sunday to listen to his very able
presentation of the subject, :. The Man

the last verse of the sixth chapter OF
Romans, "The wages of sin is death
but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord" The speaker
dwelt upon his text under four distinct
heads, namely: Wages, Gifts, Sin ant
Death. 1t was strong plea for sturdy
Christian manhood. Those who heard
it were glad they attended. The singing
was exceptionally hearty and enthusi
astic. Mr. Porter II. Dale will be tbs
. speaker next Sunday. Let there be a
large attendance. All men are invited.

told his son, Ross, who was about to
go to Sunday school, to order away
any boys he might see at the cherry
trees. On the way young Smith met
Fullerton, Davis and Clark. AS they
approached the cherry trees the dozen
boys from FELTON, ran away. A storm
was coming up and the four other boys
went under one of the trees. They
had been there only a few minutes

BASED ON THE DOLLAR.
United States Coin to Be the Standard
for the Panama Currency
System.

Washington, June 20.-The commits
sion charged with the preparation of
a currency system for Panama reached
an agreement which establishes a coin
equivalent in fineness and weight to
the dollar of the United States as the
standard and which also makes the
United States dollar legal tender in
Panama. Under the terms of the agree
ment the Panama government will re-
coin or convert the Colombian silver
into coins of the size of the silver dol
lar. The amount of this silver is now
estimated at $1,50O,O00. The total sill
yer coinage will be $6,000,000. In Or
der to retain parity with gold there
will be deposited in some reputable
bank in New York city Is per cent of
the amount coined and in addition
there will be deposited all the siegnor-
age which Panama will make in the
coinage to meet the American govern
ment's requirements.

ALL DEMANDS ARE GRANTED
Ransom Fund for Perdicaris and Var
ley Has Been Sent to
Raisuli.

Washington, June 20.-A cablegram
received at the state department from
Consul General Gummere, at Tangier,
in confirming the press report that the
sultan had agreed to all of Raisuli's
terms, adds that the money ransom, $55,-
600, was to be paid over Saturday. Mr..
Gummere expressed grave doubt as to
the advisability of making this payment
before Perdicaris and Marley were ac-
tually released and safely returned to
Tangier. Based on past experience, it
is feared that Raisuli is not to be de-
pended upon and that, once he has the
money in hand and still controls the
prisoners, he will make fresh demands.
However, nothing more can be done at
this stage, according to Mr.. Gummere,
and the state department will await the
conclusion of this last attempt to free
the prisoners.

WISCONSIN SHERIFF SLAIN
MURDERER a MAN WHOM HE
TRIED TO ARREST.
Sheriff Harris, Of st. Croix County,
Meets Death in Perform
ance of Duty.

st. Paul, Mimi, june 20-Sherin 9,
d. Harris, Of s. Croix county, Wis,
was shot and killed Saturday night,
while attempting to make an arrest on
an Omaha train near Fall Creek, Wis.
The man who did the shooting, and
whose name is unknown, jumped from
the moving train and escaped. Sheriff
Harris had gone to Eau Claire on
business, and when about to board the
train for Hudson was informed by the
chief Of police of Eau Claire that a
man suspected of burglary was aboard
the train. The sheriff searched the
train and finally located his man in
the smoking car. He placed him I'M
der rest and was about TO handcuff
him when the desperate drew revolt
yer and fired three times, shooting the
sheriff through the head and killing
him instantly. In the excitement which
followed the shooting the murderer ran
the entire length of the train,
jumping from the rear coach while the
train was going at high speed He
then stole horse and buggy and made
his way to Augusta, where the animal
was found Sunday, but all further clue
to the fugitive's whereabouts is APP
parently lost. Sheriff Mcmillan, of
Eau Claire, organized a posse and
secured the country in the neighbor-
hood of Fall Creek, but without sue
cess. Sunday night 100 armed menfrom
Hudson passed through Eau Claire on
special train for point near Angus
ia, where the search again will be
taken up. The identity of the man who
did the shooting is not definitely
known. One statement is that he is
the man who is wanted for killing the
town marshal at Havre, Mont, on
May 16.

guidance Of their new manager, Dom

brace yesterday that surprised their
opponents. The erstwhile tail-end-

score of a to 0. Bridges was in the
box and Donahue played behind the
bat. They went in to win and with
excellent support all around they
wrested complete victory out of the
hardest contested game yet played on
the home grounds. The game through
out was a pretty exhibition Of the ma
tional game, but it had few elements
of comfort for the home rooters. II
terday, the Quakers are going to sur
prise some of the other clubs who
have been counting on easy victory at
their hands.
The Quakers put up pennant win
ming quality of ball when they defeat

an error and in several innings
pounded Easton all over the lot. AT.
ter the first two innings Bridges was
invincible.

was followed by Kensel, Rudd, Disch.
