MISS vENNELL's DEATH.
Mother of Girl Drowned In Sunset
 Lake Suspects Foul Hay.

ERADICATION, \. J., June 21.- So thoroughly excited is the usually sleepy city of Bridgeton over the tragedy of Mamie vennelI that Mayor George Hampton and Prosecuting Attorney Fithian decided to make a minute in- vestigation of the drowning.
 Their first step was to order the DO lice to put George Evans. who admits he was with the girl in the boat, through the third degree.
 Prosecutor Fithian instructed Chief of Police Aaron Smith to go out and bring Evaus to his ofice. There are many features of the story which Ev- ans has told on which the authorities want further light.
 Mrs. venneIl, mother of the dead girl. said:
 T am positive that my child vas slain. She often had been out on the lake and knew better than to change seats. as has been given as the cause of the accident. The torn condition of her clothing sbovs that she had un- dergpne a frightful struggle. She had resisted an attack. and in doing 70 the boat was overturned. and they were spilled into the lake.

CHAPTER XXI.

V WHEN Philips almost lifeless
 body was flung over the cliff " 1t rushed down through the
 summer air feet foremost. Then in obedience to the law of gray ity it spun round until at the moment of impact with the water the head and shoulders plunged first into the waves.
 At that point the depth of the sea was sixty feet at the very base of the rock. At each half tide and especially in stormy weather an irresistible cur rent swept away all sand deposit and sheered off projecting masses of stone So effectually that in the course of time the overhanging cliff must be under mined and fall into the sea.
 High tide or low, there was always sufficient water to float a battleship, and the place was noted as a favorite nook for salmon, at that season pre- pairing for their annual visit to the sylvan streams of the moorland val leys.
 The lordly salmon is peculiar in his habits. Delighting at one period of the year to Foam through the ocean wilds. at another he seeks shallow rivers, in whose murmuring lords he scarce finds room to turn his portly frame
 And the law protects him most jeal- ously.
 In the river he is guarded like a king. and when he clusters at It's mouth. lazily making up his mind to try a change of water. as a monarch might visit Homburg for a change of air, be can only be caught under certain se- we're restrictions.
 He must not be netted within so many yards of the seawarf limit of the estuary. He may not be caught wholesale. The nets must have a max irnum length of 4oO feet. They must not be set between : p. m. on a Friday and 2 a. ID. on q Monday.
 Viewed in every aspect. the salmon Is given exceptional chances of longev- fly. His price Is high as bis culinary reputation. and the obvious sequel to ell these precautions Is that certain  nefarious persons known as poachers try every artiice to defeat the law and capture him.
 A favorite dodge Is to run out large quantity of nets in just such a tide gay as the foot of the c,if crowned by Grange House. None can spy the Op- sratiOns from the land. while a close watch seawarI cives many chances of escape from enterprisIng water bail tfTs. who. moreover. can sometimes bT made conveniently drunk.

Under any ordinary conditions he would be right. He could never guess the nature of the claims that encircled his father, delivering him fettered to the torture, bound hand and foot, body and soul.
 At last they all retired to their rooms, the boys to whisper kindly plans for keeping their father a pris oner again in their hands, Mason to liz open eyed, dry eyed, through the night, mourning for that which might not be- The rising sun dispelled the dark phantoms that fitted before his vision. He fell into fitful slumber, disturb ed by vivid dreams. Once he was on q storm swept sea at night on sinking ship, a ship with crew of dead men and dead captain at the helm.
 Driving onward through the raging waves, he could feel the vessel settling more surely as she rushed into each yawning caldron. Suddenly through the wreck of flying spindrift he saw a smooth harbor, sheltered basin, in which vessels rode in safety. There were houses beyond, with cheerful lights, and men and women were watching the doomed craft from the ! firm security of the land.
 But strain his eyes as he would he could see no entrance to that harbor, naught save furious seas breaking over relentless walls of granite.
 Even in his dream he was not afraid. He asked the captain, with an oath:
 els there no way in?"
 And the captain turned corpselike eyes toward him. It was Philip Anson. ! The dreamer-uttered a wild beasts howl and shrank away.

 He traversed four miles of rough country, and the sun was hot, so he did not hurry. About half past he reached the farm. There were no signs of activity such as may be expected in the country at that hour
 He examined three sides of the bui.d- ing carefully-the sea front was inac- cessible- and waited many minutes be- fore he knocked at the door. There was no answer. He knocked again more loudly. The third time his sum- mons would have aroused the Seven Sleepers, but none came.
 He tried the door and rattled it, peered in at the windows, stood back in the garden and looked up at the bed rooms.
 "A queer business" he muttered as he turned unwilllngly to leave the place.

II wish to inform you that your

twelve years OF misery passed with
my son. AS an infant / noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about FIVE
years, but when the spot began to
get larger / put him under the caro-
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, inflamed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. Whehl / think OF his suffering,
1t nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.

One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for a bad Job. One evening saw an

trial. Itell you that Cuticura Ointment

POTENT LIQUOR 10 SAKE.
IafeadIo Hearn's Testimony ~ 4
Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor In the world upon
which a man. becomes SO quickly in
.toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none of which the ef-
fects last so short a time. The In
toxication is pleasant as the effect of
opium or hasheesh. 1t is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter. happier. lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it Is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice--long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected IL careful to start In upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. BY
not eating one can drink good deal.
Tie cups are very small and Of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart of sake Is good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At q
military officers banquet captain
offered me tumbler holding good
pint of sake. almost tainted at the
sight Of 1t, for 1t was only the first.
But q friend said to me: "Only drink
a little and pass It back" which did.

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL Her.
Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
Of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself. but the worthlessness Of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS 1t was she reached a height Of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit This was at her
first attempt One Of her men deserted
and tho rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid Of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top OF the mountain, of
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-
oned.

IN THE HOUSEHOLD
HINTS ON MANY SUBJECTS OF
INTEREST.
How Prunes Provide Their Own
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Way to Hang
':tures-soda and Water
Good for Kitchen Floor.

Need No sugar.-How many house
wives know that prunes require abso-
lutely no sweetening; that If they are
cooked slowly for hours and hours"
there is sugar from them that nature
provides as a sweetening. In other
words they sweeten themselves" and
II cooked long enough are covered
with rich syrup. without one grain
nf sugar being added to them. The
aavor is also improved by this method
~ cooking them by the oftentimes
despised prune sauce becomes an en-
Soyable addition to the table.
Picture Hangine.-Too little atten-
tlon is generally given to the hanging
of pictures. They should be hung as
nearly vertical fat against the wall
as possible, and not tipped forward
at various angles with the wall. The
best effect is given by using two hooks.
so that two vertical lines of wire ap-
pear instead Of the triangular piece
resulting when but one hook is used.
The effect is more .restful in a room
where the pictures are hung verti-
caIly.
Kitchen Floor CIeaner.-So many
people find 1t hard to keep their
kitchen floors in good condition that
method may help them. Wash with
soda and water. After sprinkling
about heaping teaspoonful of soda
on any grease spots. pour boiling wa
ter over it, then take a mop and wipe
up the whole floor This is far more
satisfactory than scrubbing, for 1t will
take out grease spots without the use
Of elbow grease" This will also
keep the floor snowy white as well as
clean.
Don't Use Soap.-Never use soap
when cleaning oilcIoth. 1t fades the
colors. and the paint will soon wear
of. Ammonia should also be avoided,
because it gives dull appearance.
Take clean flannel cloth and apply
warm water. The oilcloth should then
be wiped on with a dry cloth. Skim
milk is excellent to use, and will give
the oilcloth gloss. II brush is
used 1t should be soft one, but 1t is
better not to use any
Care Of Rubber Shoes.-To make
rubber shoes wear longer. from the
tops of old rubber shoes cut pieces the
shape of heel. Smear these pieces
on the lining side with thick mucilage,
or any sticky substance, and place in
the heels of rubbers, pressing down
firmly. These protectors prevent the
rubber from receiving the direct pres
sure of the boot heels, and can be
renewed when they show the least
signs Of wear.
Cleaning Furniture. - Furniture
needs cleaning as much as other
woodwork. It may be washed with
warm soapsuds. quickly wiped dry
and then rubbed with an oily cloth.
A good polish Is made by mixing three
parts of linseed oil and one part Of
spirits Of tnrpentine. Apply with .
wooden cloth. and when dry rub well
with dry wooden cloth. This is
especially good polish for scratched
or marred furniture, and win restore
the color and luster to varnish.
