highly as the young Scott. then un
known and poor, who wrote FOR Lon
don the brilliant series of stories that
are now called The New Arabian
Nights"
Mr. Henley used to like to talk Of
London and of his friend Robert Louis
Stevenson. He used to like to quote
Stevenson's whimsical sayings. He
said one day:
Lewis and Oe always called Ste

play the American game of poker. The

quaint way:

Gorky's Rebuke.

Maxim Gorky went to the theater
at Moscow one evening to see play
by a popular writer. Instead of pay
audience rose and greeted Gorky with
prodigious acclamation. Then he de-
livered this address: what on earth
are you staring at me for? I am not
dancing girl nor the Venus of Milo
nor a drunkard just picked out of the
river l write stories. They have the
luck to please you, and | am glad Of
1t. But that is no reason why you
should keep on staring. We have come
here to see a charming play. Be good
enough to attend to that and leave me
alone" More delighted than ever. the
audience shouted with JOY. Perhaps
they thought they would get another
speech. but Gorky jumped out of hts
seat and left the theater in disgust.
Preservation of Meat.
Meat Is commonly preserved by
sleeping 1t in brine This method,
however, has the undesirable effect of
extracting from the meat much soluble
nutritious matter besides rendering the
meat harder and less digestible. An
other way of preserving it Is In air
tight cases. The cases are packed with
meat and filed up with gravy and are
then hermetically sealed except at one
point. They are then exposed to heat
above that of boiling water for several
hours, thus destroying all the existing
germs and driving out all the air con-
tanned in them. The open part Is then
soldered over. If by any accident the
tin Is not hermetically sealed the meat
will spoil.-American Queen.

LUMBERMAN's CONVENTION.

A large gathering of the men,
bers of the Lumberman's Associa-
ton met in Bloomsbury on Wednes-
day in annual convention. The pro-
gram as published last week was
fully carried out. The arrange
ments, which were made mostly by
S. c. Greasy and f. B. Hartman,
were perfect, and the visitors ex-
pressed themselves as greatly
pleased with Bloomsbury and the
hospitality of her citizens. Many
business places and residences were
decorated in red and white, the
Lumberman' colors, and the store
windows of Clark & Son, Town
send, Pursel, Hartman and Gliding
were beautifully displayed in these
colors. An excursion to Grasmere
Park went up this morning, aud a
banquet was given the visitors.

WAGON SMASHED IN RUNAWAY,

The wild behavior of a spirited
bay horse, owned by L. S. Morgain,
proprietor of the Woolsey bakery,
and used in the delivery wagon,
created the greatest kind of excite
ment, on several streets Monday
morning. The d. l.. & w. station
was the starting point of the ami
mails wild run. What frightened
it is not known, but it was seized
with a sudden terror, and it was
entirely beyond the power of the
driver William Quick to hold it
back. He did manage to keep in
the middle OF the road, until a
point, near the corner Of Center and
Eighth was reached, when the ami
NAL made a sudden turn, upsetting
the wagon, and throwing its con-
tents, lot of freshly baked bread
and buns all over the road. Quick
was hurled out from the front Of
the wagon, and escaped with only
a lacerated left hand and a few
bruises. The horse was captured by
William Rhodomoyer, who was
working near the scene of the spill.
The wagon was wreck. but the
horse was not noticeably injured.

WILL RUSH
TROLLEY WORK.
Recent Action of Town Council
Will Not in the Least Deter
the Officials.
$50 LABORERS EMPLOYED.

The belief created by the recent
action of the Bloomsbury Town
Council declaring null and void the
ordinance granting to the Millville
trolley line, the right to use GER
tain streets Of the town, that the
work of construction of the line
would be held up for an indefinite
period, was dispelled on Tuesday,
when one of the officials stated that
not for an instant would the work
of construction be halted. The
company he said proposes to move
right along. There are one hund-
red and fifty men working in the
vicinity of Mordansville, to which
point the operations have been
moved, and this number will be
augmented from time to time until
the line is completed.
The revocation of the ordinance
by Council was occasioned by the
Trolley Company's failure to begin
the construction of the line within
the time specified, which was with
in one year from the day the re-
script was granted.
Opinions, however, are greatly
at variance in regard to what act
ually constitutes the beginning of a
trolley roads construction, and
the probabilities are that the matter
will be thoroughly ventilated be-
fore it is settled.

convey an idea Of how it happened.
Chief of the fire department made
his report and concluded by recon-
mending the purchase of five hun
dred feet of new hose. A repres-
entative of a hose manufacturing
Co., he said was present who would
exhibit and explain the merits of
his hose to Council.
Here the Council divided and
things got lively. Magee though
in sympathy with the fire companies
but slightly incensed against them
for ignoring a request for represen-
tation on the Fire Board, stoutly
opposed the purchase of hose or
any other supplies.
Messrs Giger and Rhodes were
in favor Of purchasing the hose be.
cause they said it was needed.
Then came a discussion. Rhoads
said the agent should be heard but
Magee said there was no use i'll it,
as he would only say that his hose
was the best in the world. Beside
that he didn't think it good business
to buy without first getting prices
from other parties, In this he was
supported by Runyon. Then Magee
called for a vote. Deily, Giger
and Rhoads voted to buy the hose
and Runyon and Magee voted
against it. Mifflin didn't vote.
Magce took another resource and
moved for adjournment, but before
it was seconded Rhoads and Deily
moved that the agent.be allowed to
speak. The matter was finally
settled by motion to refer it to the
Fire Committee.
A resolution was introduced that
immediate action be taken to pave
Centre street, from Main street, to
Pine Alley in accordance with the
agreement as filed by property own
ers at previous meeting. Bids for
the same to be advertised and open
ed at meeting to be held July a7th
at o'clock, p. III. Giger and
Rhoades moved that the resolution
be adopted. This Mr.. Magee oppos-
ed saying that the town did not
have $500 to spare in paving side
street, and called for the
ayes and nays. The vote resulted
as follows: Ayes, Deily, Giger,
Mifflin, Rhoades and Runyon, nay,
Magee. Ordinance providing for the
same was read. Mr.. Magee claim
ed that the ordinance was defective
inasmuch as it did not contain the
provisions under which the paving
was being done and demanded an
aye and nay vote on its adoption.
The vote being called Deily, Giger,
Rhoades and Mifflin voted aye,
Magee and Runyon, no. Mr.. |
Magee insisted that the Presidents |
name be called and he voted aye.
The matter of the sewer ON Rail-
road street from Main to Fifth
street was discussed and referred to
the Town Engineer for an estimate
Of the cost. !
