For more than six hundred years
superstition, and fun have held high
carnival among young people on the
last night Of October. The celebration
of Halloween in all English-speaking
countries is SO universal and of such
ancient date as to be counted among
folk customs.
A Halloween party is a popular and
fashionable social function with our
young people. The presence Of com
parative strangers at such gatherings
compels more or less restraint and cere-
mony and interiors with genuine fun
to have but limited number OF
guests and those such as, are on the
terms Of great intimacy with the
hostess and her household. " : =
Invitations to such a party are to
be had from frst-class statloners, or
thcy NAV be original in design. Among
these are witch on a broomstick, a
tiny candlestick holding lighted
taper, a branch heavy with nuts, a
Scotch thistle, an apple and its par
ings, etc.
Autumn leaves, nuts and bright ber-
ries may be utilized in table decora-
lions with baskets of fruit or diminu-
tive horns of plenty favors; or the
the games INDUCED in-as tiny candles,
little pans containing melted lead in
fantastic shapes, small cakes contain.
ing nuts or inexpensive trinkets, bisque
figures of witches, etc.
The old-fashioned Halloween party
was of the most Internal nature, and
refreshments were likewise-roastcd ap
pies and chestnuts Gotten roasted be-
fore the great open fire by each one):
cider, ginger cakes and some home
made candies. For set menu the fol
lowing refreshments would be very ap
propriate:
Nut Sandwiches. Celery Sandwiches.
Scalloped Oysters. Chicken Salad.
Nut Cookies. Nut Cakes.
Apples. Nuts Raisinsk

Charles Mowry. aged forty. carpen-
ter of Newman avenue and Sixth street,
Bayonne, N. J., yesterday sat in a cell
in police headquarters and wondered
how it all happened.
Late Saturday night Mowry, who
had been drinking. got out Of his house
without the knowledge of his wife.
He ran along the boulevard barefooted
until he came to the bridge over the
Central railroad tracks. 4 He jumped
from the bridge and landed on top of
rapidly moving freight train bound
west. Keeping his balance. how no
one can tell. Mowry made his way
along the tops of the cars to the en-
gine and bounced into the cab with
shout that startled the engineer and
fireman, who concluded they had a
maniac to deal with.
The fireman surrendered his place to
the visitor, and the engineer kept toot-
ing his whistle all the way into Eliza-
bethport. There Chief of Police Kelley
took Mowry into custody and held him
until the arrival of Detectives Mtillaney
and Hassmiller of Bayonne.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 6.-James
Jennings who three weeks ago had his
skull so terribly crushed that he called
for priest and received the rite of ex-
treme unction and at the same time
heard the doctors say that he had only
an hour to live, Is ready to leave St.
Elizabeth's hospital as sound in body
and mind as he was before the accident
which left him bleeding and apparently
dying on top of a Monon passenger
train as 1T passed under the Fourth
street viaduct.
II is the most remarkable recovery in
the annals of the hospital Jennings
was on top of baggage coach, and
when the train passed under the
Fourth street overhead crossing in this
city he arose and was struck by the
girders of the bridge.
The blow was so terrific that the
entire top of his skull was loosened,
and when the train arrived at the
North street station Jennings was near
death. Father Leonard of st. Boni-
faces Catholic church was called to
administer the last rites of the church
to the injured yonug man. He was
rushed to the hospital, however. and
two surgeaons said his case was ahso-
lutely hopeless. At the same time.
however, ngnt was nade 10 prOlong
his life.
A close examination revealed the fact
that the skull had been fractured In
such a peculiar manner that the top
of the skull had been raised and left
the brain practically unhurt. Jennings
recovered consciousness and deter
mined that he would get well. He
made a gallant fight. and every other
patient in the hospital able to do so
watched his struggle with great inter-
est. Finally the doctors began to have
hope.
Jennings kept on improving and his
skull began to knit. Last night he
dressed and began to walk around out
side the hospital to the amazennent OF
the other patients. He has had more
than hundred callers In the last week,

SKUNK HUNTING AS BUSINESS
Thirteen Hundred in Eight Years
Record of Man and Dog Up
Maine
Special to The Herald.


BANGOR, Me-, Oct 6.-Hunting
skunks is not a sport which is fol-
lowed very largely in Maine, nor do the
fish and game commissioners in their
finely illustrated report recognize these
animals as game. Yet regardless of the
unpleasant features the hunting Of
skunks has its votaries. Chief among
the skunk hunters is Scott w. Burn
ham of Manchester who, with his
good dog Major, in eight years killed
1900 polecats Major was cross be-
tween a st. Bernard and a water
spaniel and was exceedingly proficient
in following skunks.
The hunting was all In the night
time when the animals were abroad
searching for food. Early in the even
ing Burnham, carrying a lantern and
accompanied by Major, would start out
for the hunting ground which were the
fields. woods and pastures. The dog,
finding a fresh track would follow 1t
the same as a hound would trace a
fox, barking all the time, Coming up
with skunk Burnham would dispatch
1t with club, notwithstanding the
rank scent. Major never attacked un-
til after the killing. when he would take
the body of the dead skunk in his Jaws
and shake 1t Viciously. He did not
seem to mind the smell at all.
Sometimes the game would crawl
into a stone wall or hole, but Burnhan,
with buckslSln gloves on his hands,
easily pulled the animal out. Several
times he was bitten. The best record
for one night was twenty-eight skunks.
The bagging of $40 or $12 worth OF
skunks in a night was a common oc-
currence But Major, the skunk dog,
recently died at the age Of 10 years, ana
was buried In the famous animal bury

get another dog as efficient as Major,
but has been unable to find one. al

ENOCH. Mimi, Oct 6.-After six
weeks sleep, which has baffed the ef-
forts of physicians, Miss Maud Snow,
living in Marshall county, near here,
has started on the seventh week.
Six weeks ago Miss Snow told her
parents that she believed she would lie
down and take nap, and for them not
to disturb her. She slept through the
afternoon, the night and we'll into the
next day before any effort was made to
arouse her. Then her parents tried to
awaken her, but without success. Be-
coming alarmed they summoned a
physician. To awaken her he en-
ployed a needle, starting at the feet
and going upward on the body. The
young woman did not awaken or show
any signs that she felt the needle un-
til the armpits were reached, when she
manifested a slight sensitiveness to the
operation, but did not open her eyes
Finally she was aroused, but only for
a brief moment, and at once fell aseep
again.
At intervals the family, by heroic
means, succeeded in awakening her

ner. All at once she would say "Oh,
am so sleepy" and would at once lapse
into clumber
The physicians who have attended
the young woman are thoroughly puz-
zled by her condition. Food has been
administered to her in fluid form and
she apparently is in the best of health
and has lost no flesh. But it seems to
be impossible for her to keep awake
for any long consecutive period.
Hypnotists and spiritualists have
been much interested in the case,
have argued that the young woman is
in trance and have desired to try
all sorts of experiments upon her. To
this, however, the parents have OBJ
jected and have stuck to the old school
of physicians. While the latter as yet
have been unable to solve the mystery
of the young woman's condition they
still believe that 1t is susceptible to re-
lief by such means as they are permit
ted to use by their code of ethics. An
improved form of the electrical ma
chine has been suggested, and this has
been sent for to the Twin Cities. 1t is
hoped that by it's use the somnolent
condition which now holds the young
woman may be dispelled. Meantime
Miss Snow takes nourishment four
times a day and continues to be ap-
parently in the best of health.
