STATEN ISLAND IS
VISITED nv 100. 600.

What was undoubtedly the biggest
crowd that yer visited Staten Island
resorts taxed the capacity of the
boats, cars and beaches yesterday.
Although it was cool in the morning,
the rush to South and Midland beach
es set in early. Before noon the
board walks were impossible, and
the hotels we're crowded. Happyland,
the new amusement place at South
Beach, attracted large crowds.
~Pickpockets reaped a harvest dur
ing the day. One mar reported that
he had lost a gold watch and chain
and wallet containing $3.50. Another
lost $3.50 4H-easfhHA zszs
$3.50 each.
When the crowds at the st. Geo.
ferry terminal were greatest a dy
mo at the power house of the Rich
mond Light and Railroad Company,
Livingston, broke down, tying up the
entire trolley service for several
hours. The power was turned on
from an emergency dynamo, and that
broke down, causing another tieup.
At intervals during the day after
the power was turned on 1t would be
turned off again, so that cars on all
divisions were stalled. AT the beach
es thousands were waiting to take
cars for the ferry, but none came,
and there was considerable grumb-
ling. At q late hour the cars We're
running at a reduced speed and at in
tervals were tied up along the line.
The municipal ferry carried crowds
that were greater than at any time
since 1t began operations. From the
number of tickets sold and fares col
lected on trains and trollevs 1t is es-
timated that nearly 100. 200 persons
visited Staten Island during the day.
The corner stone of the new parish
house of Christ Episcopal church,
New Brighton, was laid yesterday
morning with simple services. The
corner stone ceremony was in con-
nection with the regular II o'clock
| service. The Rt. Rev. DR.. George
Worthington. bishop of Nebraska,
preached the sermon and gave the
benediction. Assisting were the Rev.
Frank Warfeld Crowder, rector OF
the church, and the Venerable Arch
deacon George ID. Johnston, rector
emeritus. A special musical program
was rendered by the choir.
Policemen in citizens clothes, sent
by Captain Farrell. of the West New
Brighton police station. were scatter
ed about the place during the ser
vices. A rumor was current on Sat
urday that DR.. Crowder nad received
an anonymous letter threatening his
death If the corner stone was laid.
DR.. Crowder denies having received
such a letter, but there Is opposition
to the erection of the parish hOnse
by a few persons who want to have
Third street cut through 10 Franklin
avenue. The new parish house stands
on the proposed opening. There was
no disturbance of any kind.
The weekly hop at the new Hotel
Castleton on Saturday night attracted
one of the largest gatherings OF the
season. A collation. was served at
midnight.

ARRESTED FOR robbery.

Two Men Accused of Stealing from
Henry VOLTS Store Captured.
William Ryan and Martin Miles,
who were accused of robbing Henry
Wolf e. Company's store last Thurs
day night, have been caught. Ryan
was arrested Saturday morning and
Miles about IL O'Clock last night.
Chief Mcdonald, of the police
force, on hearing that two men
stopped at Mrs. Johnson's, alb I %
mile out of town, on the ~Sayrcgille
road, Friday morning and had asked
to leave a bundle of articles there,
called on Mrs. johnson and was in
formed that the story was correct.
Mrs. Johnson has talked with the
men, but on seeing the bundle be-
came suspicious that something was
crooked and would not permit the
men to leave the bundle there, fear
ing that she would get mixed VI in
the affair. On being refused to leave
the articles with Mrs. johnson, which
amounted to twenty-five or thirty
dollers, Ryan and Miles disappeared
in back of the house and Mrs. john
son told Chief Mcdonald that she
thought the things were hidden some
where in the back yard, where he
found them and took them to the pol
ice station.
Upon learning the names of these
men from Mrs. Johnson, the chief
went directly to the house of Mr..
Ryan and inquired if he was at home.
On being told that he was not the
chief Immediately asked Mrs Ryan
what Mr.. Ryan did with the things
he brought home Thursday night.
Mrs. Ryan told him that Mr.. Ryan,
with another man carrying a bundle,
came home very early Friday morn
ing, but on seeing the bundle she
feared something was wrong and
would not let them in, after which
they left the house and she had not
seen them since.
Ryan was cought at his W home
later and taken to the police station
and given a hearing. Upon being
asked why he had stolen the things
he replied that he vas drunk and had
gone into the woods to sleep 1t off
and when he awoke he found the
bundle of things alongside of him,
but had no idea how they came there.
He was placed in jail.
Miles was caught in the vicinity OF
Ernston and both were taken to New
Brunswick this morning.

GOOD SHELL MATERIAL.
Where Production of Eggs Is Large
Much Lime Must Be Pro-
vided

A great many Of our people forget
that the modern hen produces several
times as many eggs as the ancient
hen that was the progenitor of the
one we now have. That hen laid
80 or 40 eggs year and had no trou-
BILE to find the lime in the natural
food. But 1t is very different mat
ter when a domestic fowl must pro-
duce good shell material out OF her
food for two hundred eggs during the
year. The modern hen probably eats
no more lime in her food; therefore
the farmer that does not provide i'm
portant supplies of lime will have
trouble with his flock. The eggs will
have thin shells, and there will be
many soft shelled, eggs which will be
a temptation to the poultry to begin
egg eating. 1t Is easy enough to fur
nish the material II one does not for
get. The professional poultry man
never forgets; but the farmer does,
because poultry with him is merely

A GOOD COW.
Story of One Animal of Jersey Strain
Who Paid Her Owner
Good Profit.

A dairyman who does not own many
cows. and those good ones. recently
gave the following figures concerning
one of his cows, pure.bred Jersey, to
the Ohio Farmer.
Her first calf was dropped in 1897
a heifer-now valued member of the
herd. Her next calf came in 1898, with
a successor each year up to the pres
ent. making nine calves in all. Three
were females and six males. The heif.
ers have been retained in the herd and
the bulls sold at an average of $50
each. Valuing the heifers at the same.
the nine calves represent an earning
of $500 With her second calf she
made a test of $50 pounds of milk in
seven days, churning IA pounds, four
ounces of butter. Her average milk
yield has been $500 pounds. sold to a
creamery at an average OF $1.2O per
100 pounds. an aggregate for eight
years of $3.50. Adding the value of the
calves to the amount received for milk,
her gross earnings amount to $1,0S0.
These figures are very eloquent for the
good special purpose COW, but were not
given to me, nor do ! record them, as
anything extraordinary. An annual
yield of $500 pounds of five per cent
milk. while indicating COW of great
merit does not raise her above thou
sands Of other good cows. She has
broken no records but she has kept
the faith. She has always had good
care. good feed and plenty Of II. She
has been given a chance. She is a
COW of robust constitution, great
feeder, strong mixer and reliable
breeder.
Her feed had been the ordinary feed
OF the herd. Pasture and soiling crops
in summer, corn silage. mixed hay,
corn meal, wheat bran and oil meal In
winter. She has never been fed ex'
cessively, but has never gone hungry
nor in any way known abuse.
