RAZOR GRINDERS TESTY.
Their Work Is Trying and Dangerous
and It Gets on Their Nerves.

The brawny arms of blacksmiths and the
Ill temper of cooks are matters of common
knowledge, but the man who gTinds razors
has a stronger arm than the blacksmith
and a worse temper than the cook. All
day, says the Kansas City Star, he stands
bearing his full strength against a razor
held on a wheel which is whirling at the
rate of several thousand revolutions a
minute. He develops a grip of steel and
and arm as hard as iron. His work Is
dangerous. A slip of a fraction of an inch
and the razor may break into a thousand
pieces and fly I'm as many different direc-
tions. Consequently, the razor grinders
work gets on his n~erves-hence the ir-
ritable temper.
In an upstairs room on lower Main
street two men are kept busy reducing
heavy. old fashioned razors to the smaller
proportions demanded by shaVers OF this
generation. There is a little of the comic
in their work. The ancient blades brought
TO them are styled "srandfather' razors,
because practically every customer ex-
plains that the implement was used by his
grandfather. great uncle or other ancestor,
quality-"the kind you can't buy now
"Better razors are made and sold now
than ever before" Louis Heckel said. But
/ suppose that the mental suggestion a
man gets in using a razor that his an
cestors stood for causes him TO experience
less pain when 1t pulls. We have to treat
those grandfather razors with great reVer-
ence I'm the presence of the owners
"Grindlng razors Is a work at once deli
cate and strenuous. The few men who
have mastered the art are an eccentric
lot. go we are compelled to humor them
in their oddities. They are highly priced
and hard to find.
1.-THE room In our shop where razors are
ground has not been entered for years by
a person other than a member of the firm
or an employee. The grinders Will not
tolerate visitors.
The razor grinding art is almost mo-
nopolized by Germans. There are not more
than half n dozen American grinders In
America. The grindstones used in the
work are nearly all made In France. They
are a patent composition that absorbs
water. This quality helps to prevent the
razors becoming too hot. As an additional
preventive a stream of water is kept flow
ing on the blades. Even then a razor is
sometimes burnt and the temper Of the
metal ruined"
About nifty different sized grindstones
and leather-rimmed wheels are used in
reducing an old-fashioned "battleaX" to a
'holloW ground" The coarse work is
done on grindstones and the finishing on
leather wheels. The various stones and
wheels are all fitted TO the same revolving
axis. A dozen razors can be ground about
as cheaply as one. as the work Is done in
lots of one dozen. In this way labor is
saved in adjusting the numerous sized
wheels and stones.

EVICTION is FOUGHT.
Show Cause Order on Application for
julius Weiss, of Lake H%opatcong.

Vice-Chancellor Howell late yester-
day signed an order and rule directing
Justice of the Peace Israel w. Halleck,
of Newton. and Mrs. Franzeska M.
Brown, of New York city, to show
cause August 20 why a permanent in
junction should not issue restraining
them from proceeding to evict John
Weiss, now occupying a cottage on
Lake Hopatcong owned by Mrs. Brown.
The papers filed in the suit by c. r.
Wilson, of Vreeland, Lindabury & Will
son, counsel for Mr.. Weiss, show that
the defendant, Mrs. Brown, obtained a
Judgment before the justice named in
July, but that later an agreement was
reached whereby a debt due to Meiss
from Mrs. Brown was acknowledged as
an offset to her judgment. Later still,
without consultation with her counsel,
Lewis x. Martin, Mrs. Brown directed
the justice to execute the Judgment and
on Thursday papers in dispossess pro-
ceedings were served.

LODGE HUNTING MONEY
SINCE TREASURER DIED,
E~nglishtown Junior Mechanics Discov-
ers APPARENT Shortage, and Widow
Offers to Paw.

FREEHOLD. Aug. 10.-People around
here are greatly exercised oyer Il report
that the accounts of the late Gilbert
H. Hulse, as treasurer of Tennent
Council, No. Is, Jr. o. u. A. NJ, of
Englishtown, shows a shortage OF
about 81, 700.
Hulse was an undertaken at Eng
lishtown, five miles north of Free
hold. For seven years prior to his
death, which occurred on JULY %, he
had been treasurer of the Junior Me-
chanics' lodge, which had a member
ship of 100. When the books of the
treasurer were last audited a balance
of about 81, 600 in the bank was shown
But no bank books were exhibited, il
being taken for granted that the cash
was in the bank, as it had not beer
regularly loaned or otherwise invested
1t has been disclosed since l1ulse's
death that the balance in the bank
amounts to less than 81.
So well and favorably known was
Hulse, that his funeral was the largest
ever held in the village, four ministers
taking part in the services. He died
from lockjaw ten days after sustain
ing a compound fracture of the middle
finger of his right hand, caused by
stumbling over a loose board.
His widow has obtained papers OF
administration, and, although it will
leave her almost destitute, has volun-
teered to make good any deficit found
in his accounts, even offering to sur
render the $500 death benefit due her
from the lodge and which by law is no
asset of his estate.

Great Old English Mansion.

Raby is one of the finest castellated
mansions in the country, and except
that a part of the south front is an
addition by lingo Jones, the edifce
retains most of it's ancient character.
1t was built by John de Neville at
the end Of the fourteenth century and
was the home of the Nevilles until
the undoing came with the rising
of the North"
Seven hundred followers Of the
house of Neville used to gather in the
great hall at Raby,"an in the same
hall the gentlemen Of the North met
in council and laid plans for rein
stating the old religion. Charles 1.
twice visited Raby on his way to Scot
land, and when Sir Harry Vane on
one occasion disparagingly alluded
to the castle as a hillock Of stone, the
king retorted that he had not an
other such hillock in his realm.
A noticeable feature at Raby Is the
unique carriageway, which passes
through the lower hall. 1t was a
quaint idea on the part of a former
owner of Raby to wish to drive his
coach and four right through the
castle and alight in the middle Of the
hall, but it is a pity that in order
to crafty it he should have destroyed
the barbacan and several fine win
dows. Some of the tenants on the
estate have, from father to son, held
their farms from the time of the Ne
villes, and one family possesses an
original lease in Latin dating from
the reign of Edward vi. - Court
