SQUIRRELS Rich Nest.

Farmer Charles Edmunds, of near
Hanover, this State, has declared n
war of determination against the
squirrel family on his farm. For
some time past colony of these spry
little animals have had their head
quarters in the attic of his farmhouse
The squirrels got into the attic from
the trees that brush against the caves
and through knothole in weather
board.
A few weeks ago the money string
ency alarmed Mr.. Edmunds and he
drew thirty SEQ bills from a Newark
bank. He put the money in small
pasteboard box and. without telling
his wife and daughter, hid the box on
the plates under the rafters in the
attic. A few days ago, becoming
convinced that the financial crisis had
passed. Edmunds went for the money
to put it back in bank. He found
only small fragments of the banknotes
and box. The squirrels had enawed
them to pieces to build warm nest
for the winter, of course. He cannot
find the nest and he is almost mad
enough to demolish his house to
wreak vengeance on the squirrels.
He is now busy with his shotgun.

Aquarium for PHILADELPHIA.

BY reason of the energy of Fish
Commissioner Meehan, of Pennsyl-
vania, the city Of Philadelphia seems
likely to have an aquarium shortly
which will rival the great "fsh
house" at the Battery in New York
city. There are four or five such
great exhibitions in the United
States, and they are of great educa-
tional value, always appealing with
instructive interest to the masses of
the people. The tanks for the pro-
posed aquarium are already provided
for from the exhibit Pennsylvania
made at the st. Lonis Exposition
The buildings of the Philadelphia
Museums have been suggested as a
suitable location and the city pro-
poses TO give an appropriation of
$40, 600 to give the aquarium its start.
With little help from the State,
Philadelphia ought to have fish ex.
hibition of the very first class.

Exposition a Great 6 Failure.

During the whole term of the
jamestown Exposition there were hut
1900, 200 paid admissions, the Prob
able income from which did not ex-
coed $500, 900. The gate receipts day
by day did not average enough to pay
the duly expenses of the show, and
President Tucker in his closing adj
dress acknowledging the practical
failure of the enterprise, put tho ex-
positions debt ut $2,000,000 nearly
one-half of which il owing to the
national Government. Whether or
not any of this will ever be paid must
depend upon what luck the company
has in disposing of the grounds and
buildings. These are estimated to be
worth considerably more than the
debts, and doubtless they would be
if so located as to be available for any
reasonable purpose. 1t is not proba-
BILE, however, that the property can
be made use of for any purpose but a
Government naval school, or some
thing of that kind.

Jersey Farmers For Postal Banks.

Vigorous support was given to
the resolution presented to the New
Jersey State Changers convention
Wednesday which called for the i'm
mediate establishment OF postal
savings banks. Those who talked of
the subject declared their conviction
that if such fund had been in exist
ence there would have been no money
panic. 1t was heard on all sides that
the farmer wants the convenience Of
a safe depository, in which he has alb
solnte confidence, somewhere near
his home, and if such existed they
would have on deposit millions of
money which to day are hidden in
stockings and strong boxes because of
the fear of the tlmid farmers to en-
trust their hard earned money to
banks.
The President was commended for
his advocacy of a parcels post, which
would also prove saving to the far
mer as it would enable him to buy
more freely and open up to him a
wider market to select his purchases.

TOMASSrS CASE APPEALED

Prosecutor Large has been notified
to appear before the Court of Errors
today, to argue writ of error taken
by counsel for Michael Tomassi, the
condemned murderer, their object
being to get new trial if possible.
Tomassi's father has engaged addi-
tional counsel in an effort to save his
son from the death chair and will ex-
haust every legal remedy to accom-
plish this result.
The new death chair has been in
stalled in the State Prison at Trenton
and is replete with all the latest APP
pliances for its work. Tomassi is to
be electrocuted the week beginning
December 16. Stephen Dorsey and
Charles Gibson, colored, of Camden,
are to be executed the same week.
The man who will operate the switch
on the first execution has performed
the same office on one hundred and
one murderers in New York State
The first electrocntion in this State
will take place the week beginning
December 9, and the man to be put
to death will be Saverio Di Giovanni,
of Somerset county. The chair is
screwed to the floor about five feet
from the wah, on which is seen the
switchboard controlling the fatal cur
rent. A cap containing u sponge wet
with salt water will be fitted to Di
Giovanni's head, and this will be
connected to the arm seen above the
chair, with an electric wire. Other
wires will run to the wrists and ankles
of the criminal, thus completing
circuit.
A voltage up 10 2, 400 may be used
and by means OF rheostat this may
be reduced instantly to 300 volts by
the executioner. The executioner
will stand behind the chair, where he
may watch the criminal without being
seen by the latter, and by pushing a
small lever will send the death deal
ing current into the convict.
The executioner for Di Giovanni
will be e. +. Davis, official execution
err of New York and Massachusetts.

State To Regulate CarboIio Acid Sale.
S. w. COCHRAN & co.

SeatS ~ bUuuidtc diuuitU hCiu Sdit.
When the legislature meets next
month one OF the first things will
be the question of having law
| passed to regulate the sale of earbelie
acid by druggists throughout the
state. Members of the trade every.
where are in favor of having the
matter so controlled that the poison
Gus acid cannot be as readily obtained
in its full strength form rs at present,
except on the order or prescription of
a physician or other legally qualified
person for the purpose of removing it
from the head of the list of the most
generally used agents for suicidal
purposes.
What we want, is law to regulate
the matter so that every druggist or
other person who handles the poison
will be ON the same footing, and it
will be impossible for any one to get
1t in sufficient strength to work any
harm, whether il is used in danger
ous way by accident or design. For
practically every legitimate use Of
the poison, except possibly in some
veterinary practice, five per cent.
solution meets every demand. Its
use undiluted is impossible because
of its great strength aud its deadly
nature, whether applied externally or
internally to human beings. Why.
therefore, should it be sold in full
strength, since its only purpose in
that form is for suicidal purposes?
Druggists who have their own and the
general public interests at heart do
not want to sell the acid in undiuted
form, yet it il part of their stock III
trade and, ordinarily, must be sup
piled if called for. A rule for the
handling and sale of the acid must he
established by the state by legislation.
Then it will be i'll the power of drug
gists to sell the stuff in such form that
would be suicides can swallow all
they eare to of il and not do them
selves any grent amount of harm.
They would then get tho burn which
even smnll quantity causes when
applied to flesh without the deadly
effects, and no doubt would be quick
ly cured of their desire to die :"
