Wood Alcohol Victims.

A note of warning, caused by the
death of a number of persons In New
York by imbibing liquors made from
wood alcohol, is raised by physicians.
Wood alcohol is very poisonous and
induces either death or total blindness.
1t can be deodorized 50 as to pass for
grain alcohol, and is 50 much cheaper
that there is a constant temptation to
use IL as an adulterant. II enters not
only into liquors, but into such com
pounds as bay rum, witch hazel, ia
maiea ginger, etc, and serious effects
may come from using it either inter
nallly or externally as a lotion.

The inn property measures only so

SWEDE
BLUFFS
JOHN D.

John d. Rockefeller has succeeded
within the past few weeks in obtain
ing possession of every plot of ground
in Sleepy Hollow, that hamlet in Po-
%cantiee hills made immortal by the
poem of Washington Irving, with the
exception of the land upon which
stands the inn of John j. Melin.
The offending saloon will pass into
the oil kings possession "just as
soon," says John Melin, a eanny
Swede, "as he tank he can pay mine
price"
Behind the acquisition of land by
Rockefeller there lies the tale of a
fight that should make glad the heart
Of man a man who has felt the roast
ing seoreh of Standard Oil millions.
This John j. Melin pronounces his
name Mclean. He settled in Sleepy
Hollow 20 years ago. 1t is only eight
years since Rockefeller saw the quiet
spot and the broad, rolling acres
around.
SAY come here first. Yon, he
como second, is the way Innkeoper
Melin spins the yarn, and the familiar
way in which John speaks of "Yon"

lionaires. Ay sell sweet cider an

IL is because Melin was in sleepy
Hollow frs and because he is wise in
his generation that he doesn't propose
TO suffer the ban Of Rockefeller or quit
his inn business No sooner had the
STANDARD Oil magnate settled in the
Pocantieo hills and begun TO desire ev.
|erything in sight than the ediet against
Rockefeller employees visiting Melin 5
inn vas issued. ThirstS however, have
proved stronger than orders.
John d, Jr, suggested TO his father
a year ago that he should employ STRAIT
|egy against Nelin, whereupon the
father had private detectives 70 out
from New York to watch the inn and
all who entered its doors They thought
they had dsy, and a was is

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.

Tire Philippine bill, which passed the
h0use at the last session and is now
yszsYing in the senate, will provide for
N unmber Of improvements which, if
sernuted, will make for the rapid de-
,SeIopment and progress of our islands
in the South Seas. One Of the fea-
aures Of tho bill is n proposal for the
government guarantee to railroads in
the provinces. Those who are famil-
Sar with the situation know that the
5000, 900 people scattered over 100000
zquare miles OF land, more or less
broken up by seas and mountain
chains, cannot be organized without
some system Of trunk railways. The
venture, II made by n private corpora
tion, might prove Improbable at first.
There would bo difficulties in some
parts such as discouraged the Span

A Terrific EXnlOsinn.

Several residents of PENIS Grove were
awakened about 4 o'clock Thursday
morning by a report which shook their
houses. Some thought there had been
an explosion on Carney Point. 1t was
an explosion at Duponts Powder rolling
mill on the Brandvwine. About 25O or
300 pounds of fine sporting powder was
destroyed, the mill was wrecked, and
buildings in close proximity to the mill
were somewhat damaged.
Nobody was injured. That no one was
injured is due to the system employed in
the yards. When the rolling mills are
in operation they are closed and nobody
is allowed in them. Assoon as the opera
tor Ill charge starts a mill, which he does
from the outside, he retires to his wait
ing room for several hours.
The rolling mills are built of stone and
SO arranged that All explosion blows of
the roof and generally does no further
damage.

THE BIG BALL GAME.

PauIsborO Took The Jim Crow Cars
Home.

PauIsboro Took The Jim Grow Cars
Home.
Last Saturday was an ideal day for all
sports, notwithstanding the black clouds
from Paulsboro, and PENIS Grove was
all alive to the biggest sporting event
ever in this town. The long talked of re-
turned game of ball with Paulsboro drew
people from distant parts of Salem and
Gloucester counties as well as Delaware
and fifteen hundred witnessed the game.
j. K. Duffy handled himself like a pro-
fessional in the QUOT pitching match with
G. c. Thompson, who looked like a
novice. Duffy got easy money i'll two
rounds, when the score was Is to q and
14to 81.
When 2.30 arrived, the time to play
ball, the players for Penn's Grove were
on the ground, and questions began to be
asked: Where is Manager doc" Miller
| with his Paulsboro team ?" 1t was 20
minutes before he arrived and great was
the surprise, to see nine sturdy colored
men march on the grounds. They prov
ed to be the Philadelphia Giants-giants
in name, pygmies after the game.
1t was rumored that Penn's Grove had
been after the Giants and that Paulsboro
had forstalled them, but the manager OF
the Giants confirmed Mr.. Duffy's declara-
ton that PENIS Grove had never APP
preached them. Mr.. Duffy gave a time
ly jibe by announcing that Penn's Grove
had no objections to playing these men
on account of their color, but hated to
have them to represent that town-and
so did most of the Paulsboro people
with the exception of those who were
sure of winning by betting 2 to l. The
colored men deported themselves like
gentlemen and had nothing to say in re-
turn to the iibes and names called. 1t
would have been a dry game on Pauls-
boro's side but for the fun made by Mon
roe, the Sd base man, who was somewhat
of a humorous cake walker i'll his coach
ing.
The game began at 3 o'clock with
Paulsboro at the bat and was played fine
ly for two hours by both sides. The To-
Gals started the run getting in the second
inning and ent lusiasm was let loose
when Hoffman 81 d home and Fleming
scored the third run in the 9th inning.
Tie umpire, Charles Fldler, selected by
the Inquirer, gave general satisfaction.
