house Wednesday when counsel for
Tomassi applied to Chancellor Magic
for writ of error. Rudolph A.
Braun and James Nj. Trimhle appear.
ed for the defendant and Prosecutor
George X. Large, of Hunterdon
county, for the state.
The writ of error was denied. and
the ease will HOW be carried to the
court of errors and appeals.
Among the objections made by
Tomassiss counsel WIS TINT Justice
Reed, permitted Edgar Hunt, a Lam
hertville lawyer, private counsel for
relatives of Mrs. Congiho. To assist
the prosecutor, examine witnesses
and address the Jury.
Chancellor Magic said the employ.

he thought there was no objection to

Squirrels Predict A Hard Winter.

A hard winter IL the unwelcome me
theological prognostications made by
intelligent squirrels of New Jersey,
says the Somerset Unionlst. Gazette.
There rs II noticeable scarcity Of
chestnuts III the northern section Of
the State. The trees bore their usual
quota Of bnrrs, but now that the
frosts have opened the latter, the nuts
are unusually hard to find This
pauclty ~ due to the activity Of the
squirrels. The little animals. by
some prophetic instinct, seem to know
that II severe winter is ahead, aud
they have rayaged the trees for nuts
to provide an unfailing stock Of pro
vender for the long period when they
will be deprived Of their usual sources
of food supply.
Not only have the squirrels stored
away chestnuts to prevent winter
famine but their scheme of domestic
economy has embraced other avail
able sustenauce. A resident Of Mont
clair, who has a number Of chestnut
and crab apples on his estate, ascer-
tanned that the squirrels had taken
both the nuts aud apples in large
quantities. Curious to discover what
use the squirrels had for crab apples,
the man tracked one Of the animals to
its hole.
There he found large store OF
chestnuts and nearly pint Of crab
apple seeds Near the entrance to
the hole were the remnants Of mum
erless crab apples. The squirrels had
gnawed away the fruit and extracted
the succulent seeds from the apples.
| Further investigation showed that the
squirrels have despoiled other or
chards to obtain the crab apple seeds

MAY WELL KISS HIS WIFE
Professor Stahi's Leap at Cosmopolitan
Shows is Most Dangerous.

Over 1000 people were admitted g
the Cosmopolitan shows appearing
this week at Twenty-fifth street ami
Fifth avenue under the auspices of the
Firemen's Benefit Fund association.
All the attractions, both free and other
wise, were much enjoyed. The high
dive of Professor Stahl from the top
of a ladder 11G feet high into a small
net is the leading free attraction of the
shows. 1t is the longest, most exciting
flight through space ever taken here.
That the small net into which Profes
sor Stahl leaps does not hurl him out
on the hard ground, to an awful death
even that he hits the net, at all-is
a miracle. The daring man takes his
life i'll his hands every time he leap.
No wonder he kisses his wife goodbye
before he makes his wonderful flight
every afternoon and evening.

REACHED HIGH STANDARD
THE Siege of Jericho" Said to be I'm
mensely Entertaining.

B. +. Gregory appears to have reaCl
ed the highest standard in outdoor en-
tertainment in his spectacular pro-
duction of THE Siege of Jericho
which comes to the Davenport ba
park on July . for five nights under
the auspices Of the Commercial club.
Not only is the performance magniii
ly perfect in mechanical CffCCtivGne s.
but it offers a drama of absorbing VI
terGst, acted by expert pantUmimis!S
and finishes with display of pyrotech-
MICS surprising any exhibition ever
made. These are the claims advanced
by Mr.. Gregory and they appear to nc
borne out by the enthusiastic cont
ments of the press wherever the CX.
hibitiOn has been seen. Mr. Gregory :
advance guard has reached the city
and looked over the ball park lot wher9
il is proposed to give the performance
They are convinced that the site is IL
every way adequate and desirable and
that the entire big show can be given
there without curtailment. This vii
consist of the hugh scenic production
of the story, in which two hundred
clever actors participate, the spectacd
lar fire climax, in which the city is ap
parently destroyed and the display q
pyrotechnics which is so highly lauded
| Altogether THE Siege of Jericho
should prove one of the most thrillin;
and entertaining novelties ever seen il
