BOOMERS FOR RAWH|DE

w. f. Casson and T. w. Techow have
returned from trip of several days at
Rawhide, the new camp near Schurz,
and both are enthusiastic boosters for
that country since their return. They
expect to return to the camp in short
time, having taken /. lease on one of the
most promising properties there.
There is no question in my mind but
the camp is going to prove one of the
bonanzas of the State, remarked Mr..
Casson. Lodges which show rock that
sparkle with gold have been found, and

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, COM
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in oder to make room for them This,
he says, makes him laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very int sting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be INTELLECTUALLY perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is Aot if there is not closet room
enough,

CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That, He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times a day A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably
drunk
How did this happen?' the physi-
clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.
Sure, dochter, an it's just what
you ordered, an no more, that he
had" she protested.
Il said one ounce of whisky three
times day; that could not make him
drunk, the physician said He has
had much more than that"
'Divil drop more, dochter, dear"
she declared. Sure an OF didn't
know just how much an ounce was so
OF whit to the drug store an asked,
an the lad-he's a broth of boy,
too-told me that an ounce was Is

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Baseomb's In
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. ''But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it, d"
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty we'll when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that If
he didn't want to be harried right off n
the face O. the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow def, gradual,
but steady-an' he's done it, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!" -

SQUIRRELS Reared by a Cat.

Among the interesting things shown
at recent meeting of the Geological
society were two young specimens OF
the English squirrel, which had al
most entirely changed in color from
the usual chestnut-brown to a light
drab, the ears and feet only showing
traces of the original color. 1t was
stated that the animals had been
taken from a nest when very young
and put in charge of a cat, which
acted as foster-mother, and successful
ly raised them. 1t was suggested that
this fact might have caused the color
change.-St. James Gazette.

The problem was to find the negro.
Patrolman KozuskO was sent to the
Lehlgh Valley wharves and searched
all the boats in that vicinity. but
found no trace of the negro. A tele-
phone call came from Boynton Beach
soon afterwards, saying that the man
had been seen near the Sewaren sta
ton. Roundsman Morris, with Pa
trolmen Quinlan and Kozusko, then
fastened out through Maurer. They
learned that the negro had crossed
the Woodbridge creek bridge and
had gone toward Sewaren.
They followed up the trail. inuuir-
ing everywhere if the fellow had
been seen. They went to the Sewar-
en- station and were told that the
colored man had been there, but had
gone toward Port Reading a few
minutes before. The three officers
then went to Port Reading, searched
through the docks, and finally found
their man Oh the barge Mary Mason,
which was lying at the coal docks
there. When found by the police he
was sitting peacably on the deck of
the barge, of which he is the captain.
The officers handcuffed him and
brought him to this city, arriving
here just after daybreak.
The negro was arraigned before
Recorder Pickersgill this morning
He gave his name as William Rayn-
or. Ryan and Johnson were on hand
this morning and told their stories.
The negro said that their statements
were not true, and that he had only
turned to pick up some tobacco when
Ryan accOsted him and called him a
"nigger." He acknowledged, how
ever, that he shot at the men, and
he was held on three charges, two of
assault with intent to kill. and one
of carrying concealed deadly weap-
Ons. He asked for lawyer and was
held in default of $1,000 bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Raynor is fairly well known in this
city. His barge comes to the local
coal docks frequently. He is a rough
looking character and has only one
eye. He is fOrty-siX years old.
Later in the morning Raynor furn-
ished $1,000 bail and was released
He also paid his fine of $25 for carry
ing concealed weapon. A Hartford
street saloonkeeper became surety
for him.
