Pistol and Threatens Death

At the point of a revolver held
by Percy c. Bissell, ,her discarded
sutton, Miss Belle Grouse, daugh-
ter of Rev. N. P. Grouse, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church,
Stanhope, N. J., was compelled to
enter the Methodist parsonage in
Asbury Park Thursday afternoon
to be married. When Rev. c. NJ.
Griffin, pastor of the church, began
the marriage service she broke
down and appealed to the clergy
man to save her.
Miss Grouse declared Bissell held
a revolver in his pocket and threat
ened to shoot her unless she mar
ried bin, although he was Obno-
xious to her.
DR.. Griffin, in great astonish-
ment, threw his arms about Bissell,
and after a struggle subdued him.
He was held a prisoner until Miss
Grouse returned to her home in
Ocean Grove. But she had no
sooner arrived there than Bissell,
who succeeded IN Guiding DR..
Griffin, broke through a window
and demanded to see her. He was
told by a member of the household
that she was not at home. where
upon he left the house. He was
later taken in charge by a police
man and placed on a late train
bound for his home at StanhOpe.
Bissell is p years old and is a
student at the State Normal School
at Trenton. His attentions were
rejected because ii was believed a
short time ago that he gambled.
Evidence of this was collected by
Rev. Mr.. Grouse and laid before
his daughter last Monday. She i'm
mediately addressed letter to Bis
sell refusing to have anything fur
ther to do with him.

THE DANGER OF MAMAMA.

The following interview with
she City Health Officer for Calves
ton is reprinted for the benefit of
the authorities in Brownsville.
The oil can is no longer used to
Kill the mosquitoes, and tie pest
Is making life miserable.
City Health Physician Trueheart
said The notion that prevails in
some quarters that there is no
danger of fever along in October,
November and December, that it is
too late in the season, is entirely
erroneous. In 1859 I was health
surgeon at the then city hospital,
where Sealy Hospital now stands.
Yellow fever had prevailed in
Houston for several weeks. On
the 18th of October the first case
appeared in Galveston, and we had
one of the severest epidemics that
Galveston has experienced. We
created 800 in our hospital, and
there were several hundred deaths
an the city. New cases continued
to occur all during October, No
vember, December and some few
in JIuuary. The fact of it IS Gal
veslom's long-continued exemption
Erom yellow fever has lulled many
of its people into false sense of
security. All that is necessary to
precipitate an epidemic upon US
this fall, or during a mild winter,
is the presence of the stegomyia
fasciata mosquitoes and case of
yellow fever slipping in among us
Erom Mexico or elsewhere. 1t be-
.Gaooves as here in Galveston to put
our house in order and keep it in
order, to kill out all the stegomyia
fasciata mosquitoes in the winter
time as well as the other seasons of
the year, for we do not know when
q mild case of yellow fever,
walking case, may drop in amongst
US, and start the disease. Infinitely
better is it to exrend money,
sew hundred dollars, in destroying
iehe mosquitoes and keeping them
destroyed. thus rendering it i'm
possible for yellow fever to spread
amongst US, than to rest upon Our
osrs until the disease gets amongst
Us and costs us many thousands TO
get rid of it or to stamp it out, to
say nothing of valuable lives sac

When healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-

headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid

well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them we'll.
J.P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, US:
My Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
1oins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
ance, especially IN the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised and brought home box.

benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has

LINcoLN's DISLIKE OF SUMMER.

have spoken of an exception to the rule of the presidents freedom from personal feeling in his relation to the public men of the time. That exception was Charles Sumner. IL Is a curious fact that a man who was one of the leaders in the party which had twice chosen Afr. Lincoln to be president. who was an exponent of the belief which determined the most moment ous action of MT Lincoln's career-the emancipation of the slave-should have been the only man. so far as my knowledge goes
 Senator Sumner was a fine looking man. His presence was tall and com manding: he was well groomed. even exquisite in his appointments. He af- fected the English type in his clothes. wearing large checks and plaids. and was fond of displaying white spats- which were not an time often seen upon our statesman. He was a friend of the Glasses, particularly warm friend of Kate Chase Sprague, who sympathized with him in his matri- monial difficulties He was also. sur ious enough. in view of his relation ship both to the Glasses and to MT. Lincoln, a friend of Mrs. Lincoln. Not

4 COSTLY CONVERSION.

For several years the pious town of Marion. ohio. has prayed for the con- version of William Salter from the ways of the wicked. Salter lost a leg early in youth as the result of world ly waywardness since which luckless event he has been compelled to stalk about with the aid of wooden leg. A few Sundays ago the good people of one of Marion's churches were rejoic- ed beyond measure by the spectacle of Salter entering the sacred edifice and reverently lowing his head in prayer while waiting to be shown a seat. As he stumped down the center aisle his peg leg stuck in a furnace register, of whose existence William was densely ignorant by reason of the fact that he had never before been in the church. William fell down with a tremendous chatter. and to the consternation of the congregation. His untoward accident stopped the devotions of the people. and he was promptly turned over to an officer. Next morning he was haled before the police magistrate. and though William protested to that jurist that he had gone to the church with dollars and costs for disturbing reli- gious worship. Now MT. Salter swears that never again will he enter a church or pay heed to the prayers of church. gOers

THE BOOM IN JAPAN.

In the course of an article in Ap- pleton's Magazine for June. Thomas F. Willard tells some strange truths about Japan. Incidentally he says: "The tremendous impulse given to com mercial and industrial activities in Japan since the war has attracted much attention, and been the cause of much comment. usually optimistic. Since peace was declared (taking the latest official statemenD there have been 314 new enterprises capitalized or old caDitalizatiOns increased, with an aggregate capital of sl97, ,151, ,514 gold. This is nearly one-third the to- tai capitalized industry of the country previous to the war The enterprises represented in this enormous capitali- Zation cover wide field, but they nearly all belong in the category of what may be termed modern indus tries. in the sense applied in Japan. For instance there are 5l new electri- cal companies, with an aggregate cap- ital of s55.000.OOO gold; 10 new naviga- ton and dock companies, with a total capital of $20.000.000; five new insur- ance companies. with a total capital of S7,5O0,000. New banking concerns az gregate a capital of s11,000.000. There are 1 new steam railway companies. with S10000.000 capital; IA new min ming companies, with s6,50O. 900 capi- tai: while old corporations have in creased their capital s34.000,000. To many of them direct government as- sistance is being given. while nearly all of them have had to hope to secure stimulation through the government by indirect methods.
 This enumeration of the new com mercial activities of the nation does not however. include the greatest en- terprise of all. This is the national corporation, with a proposed capital Of s100, ,000. 900 gold. for the purpose of pushing Japanese commerce and in terests in Korea and Manchuria. This great company, in so far as its com pcnents have become public. is to in clude the government. with all the as- sociated interests it can marshal, and is to be thrown open to popular sub- scription. with a view to inducing the common people and middle classes to invest. thus enlisting their sympathy and direc: pecuniary interest in the success of the scheme"

THE MISSISSIPPI CONTEST.

John Sharp Williams and Gov. Var daman are engaged in the fiercest po- litical contest. over the toga now worn by Senator Money. which is be- ing waged anywhere in the country. MT. Moneys term will not expire un- ti, 1911. but as the Mississippi legisla- ture holds quadrennial sessions. the senator's successor will be elected next winter. Both contestants are related to Senator Money. He is discreetly holding aloof from the fight. but the large family connections of the two men throughout the state are becom- ing hotly embroiled. and it is feared that violence may mark the campaign before it proceeds much further. The main issue is the negro. and on this question both candidates are doing fine hair-splitting. Gov. Vardaman proposes. If elected, to introduce in the senate immediately upon his entrance there. a bill to repeal outright the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The Florida house recently adopted bill declaring it to be the sense of the people of that state that these amend ments should be considered as null and void. This would seem to indi- cate the popularity of the idea in the south. and thus it seems that Gov. Vardaman has an advantage of Mir. Williams on one point. The latter. however. appears to be veering around to the repeal idea. and the governor declares that the congressman Is try ing to steal his thunder. On the other hand. Gov. vardaman seems to be try ing to get onto the anti-government ownership platform announced at the opening of the senatorial contest as

Among the employees recently dis missed by Judge Ballinger. the new commissioner of the general land of flee. was a man who was at Harvard with President Roosevelt. It is said that when the news leaked out that Judge Ballinger was preparing to rid his bureau of dead timber it was in timated to him that should he look a little closer into this particular em- ploye's record he would discover that the presidents former classmate was considerably more efficient than the commissioner had been led to believe. Judge Ballinger couldn't see it that way, however. and then the luckless employees friends carried his case to Secretary Garfield.
