NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Common Rurnor No Defense.

Counselor Edwin Robert Walker.
counsel for Secretary of State Sam,
;uel d. Dickinson, in his 100000 H..
Del suit against Mayor Mark M. Fa.
gan, of Jersey City, filed in the Su.
preme Court at Trenton, a replfca-
ton and demurrer to the answer filed
by Pagan to Colonel Dickinson's bill.
The replication makes the claim that
certain matters set up by Pagan in
his answer do not constitute proper
defense of the action, and conse-
quently demurs to them. First, it
is claimed, that the fact that Fa.
gan was a citizen and officeholder OF
the State of New Jersey is not
defense to his action in having writ
ten the. famous Pagan letter calling
upon Governor Stokes not to reap
point Dickinson as Secretary OF
State. The fact that the matters
contained in the letter we're common
rumor is also claimed to be an I'M
substantial defense, as is the fact
that the defendant thought he was
performing his duty as a citizen in
bringing the matters to the attention
of Governor Stokes.

CHAPTER vi.
A Tryst.

Beside the pleasant mill at
Trumpington, says Wordsworth, I'VE
laughed with Chaucer in the haw-
thorn shade" but it was with no ex-
pectation of merriment that Miss So
phia Gilbert, accompanied by her
faithful waiting maid, Jeanette,
took her way thither that May after
noon. The first time she had visited
the place was at little picnic during
the long vacation, with Aunt Maria
and few friends, and there by acct
dent she had first met with Herbert
Perry. Six months ago she had
adored the man, of whom she was
the clandestine wife; and now-now
she hardly dared to say to herself
what she thought of him, with what
adherence she looked forward to a
future which must be linked with his,
with what apprehension and dismay
she pictured the immediate conse-
quence of his obstinacy and rashness.
should he persist in his present be-
havior. Yet it was curious that she
felt more angry with herself for her
folly than with him for his cruelty;
and as every now and then she
stopped by the waters side and gazed
on her own image she murmured as
before, You fool! you mad and
wicked fool"
She had reached the end of the
peninsula and was about to turn
when the silver beat of a paddle
struck upon her ear; in that very
time and place it had once been mu-
sic to her, but now she shivered as
though it was a passing bell.
He is coming" said Jeanette, in
warning voice.
AS if she did not know that! as if
she did not see, though her face was
still avertcd, the little boat gliding
swiftly up the stream impelled by
those sinewy arms, and the shapely
head with it's crisp brown locks, and
the form that had once been as Apol-
los to her eyes, but was now odious
as Apollyon's.
The canoe shot noiselessly to the
bank, and he stepped out to meet her
with fieeting smile
wen, ne Sdlu, am come, ana
with all the caution that an Indian
uses in one of Cooper's novels, but
I tell you fairly that am tired of all
this shying and Sinking, and mean
to put an end to it,"
She had held out her hand. but he
had taken no notice Of it; his face
was flushed, not with the exercise he
had taken, for such feats were feath-
erweights with him, but, as she was
we'll aware, with anger.
"If we are going to talk, !" he said,
looking toward Jeanette, though
nothing you can. say will make any
difference ! promise you, there had

Twenty.one' Her Luck.

Twenty-one persons, loaded with
twenty-one kitchen utensils, on May
81, surprised Miss Emma E. shu-
proprietor of Hotel Clayton at Clay
ton, on her twenty-f1rst birthday. For
the supper twenty-one varieties of
refreshments were served, including
O large birthday cake, twenty-one
inches in diameter, lit with twenty
one candles; twenty-one selections
were played on the piano and twenty
one games played. The surprise was
given by the Stitch and Sew Club,
of which Miss Shupard is member,
and the kitchen Shower" was in
anticipation of her wedding.

The Boston Transcript quotes the
Rev. Herbert c. Herring, DID,, of
New York, the new secretary of the
Congregational Home Missionary So
ciety, as saying in the course of an
address before the Congregational
Club of Boston: Tho only unqual
ifiedly dangerous class in America is
the self-centred pleasure-seekers,
men and women to whom existence
is synonymous with dining and sleep
ing, with automobiles and yachts,
with Sunday jaunts and theatre
parties, who touch no burden of
church or state, who have abdicated
thought and renowned parenthood--
these are the men and women, if null
tiplied sufficiently, who can sink our
nation to bottomless hell.

Thanks.

John Ridgley Carter, Secretary Of
the American Embassy at London,
was plotting some American friends
through the museum at Hastings
when he observed an unhappy atten-
dant wearing a military uniform,
with q helmet from which chin
strap hung, at whom an inquisitive
tourist was firing all manner of silly
questions.
The tourists last question was:
Say, what is that strap under your
chin for?"
The attendant sighed. 1.-THE strap

Cotton Paper.

Some recent experiments have de-
monstrated that all grades of paper
can be manufactured from cotton
stalks, and in addition to this a var
iety of by-products including alcohol,
cotton fibre and smokeless powder
can be secured in commercial guam
titles. On the estimate that an acre
of land producing one ton of stalks,
ten or twelve million tons of raw
material can be depended upon an
nually. Some enthusiast claims that
in addition to increasing the value of
the South's annual cotton crop by
$100,000,000 the removal of the
stalks from the fields early in the fall
will mean the determination of the
boil weevil.

The opinion that seventy-five per
cent. of the present day sermons from
the pulpit could be dispensed with
to the betterment of church atten-

of Pennsylvania, delegate to the
National Conference of Church Clubs,
in annual session, at Washington.

utterance was warmly applauded, and
was delivered in discussion of the
question, why Men Do Not Go to

The United States Circuit Court
has made the injunction against the
Drug Trust perpetual, announces the
New York American The chief count
against the combine was that it
blacklisted druggists who undersold
trust prices. The injunction not
only prevents the publication of such
blacklists but also forbids any I'M

The New York American exclaims:
If around every racetrack were as
sembled the bodies of those that
have killed themselves because of it,,
the jailbirds it has started wrong,
the drunkards it has contributed to
furnish, the men and women it has
impoverished and the scoundrels that
have grown rich from all this misery,
the world would then have an OBJ
ject lesson and would be able to
Judge this tree by its fruits.
