 Supreme Court Juztice Thomas W. Trenchard who had been requested by Governor Fort to sit with the county iudge was so incensed at the action of the grand jury that he instantly discharged it with a severe reprimand.
 While the Governors proclamation came as a startling piece of news, 1t was not wholly unexpected, as there has been irumors for days that he would resort to the calling out of the militia if necessary to enforce the ex- else laws. What the result of the proclamation will be remains to be seen but 1t is freely predicted that 1t will be much more difficult to purchase liquor in this seaside resort next Sum day than on any other Sabbath In the history of the town. The Governor. however. Is not feared by some of those who have been prominent in the trouble and some even assert that the Governor has no authority to send troops into the county until the sheriff certifes that he is not able to enforce the laws.

". FORT IS DETERMINED

seagirt. N. J.. Aug. 27--In a startling public proclamation issued today from the summer Capital, Governor Fort de- clares that unless the excise law is ob- served in Atlantic City. which he calls ''saturnalia of vice. next Sunday and all saloons closed as well as cafes. he win call an extra session of the Legis- iatpre and may send tho New. Jersey State troops to the famous resort, de- claring the city to De under martial law.
 This is the most drastic action which has been taken to enforce general law ever taken in New Jersey. Governor Fort. in his proclamation ridicules the hasco of ten days ago when q grand jury at Mays Landing, the county seat. refused to find indictments and says that the action was a burlesQue, that three men of the grand Jury were own- CTS of saloons in Atlantic City and that the others were in sympathy with the vioiators of the law.
 The Governor says he can see but one or two things to do under the circum- stances:
 First: Gall out tbe militia and police of Atlantic City and declare the re- sort to be under martial law. This would require an appropriation by the Legislature.
 Second: He will ask special ses- sion of the Legislature to enact spe-' cial legislation authorizing him to ape point a disInterested commission to take charge of the affairs of Atlantic City.

 And you can tell your friends in Corsica" answers the American, that if they bother me, or my bride or any of US, shall plant them with no more compunction than a western gun man would"
 "Diable, I have heard of your wond- erful precision with the pistol from my dead brother many times,' re marks Cipriano, with almost a shud der. Then his eyes catching a gleam of light from the distant landing stage, pauses with a little start of triumph and adds: But have said all possi- ble to warn ycu, Signore Americana. The rest is not my affair, though ] would like to voice a few words to Madame Paoli, who was my brothers ward"
 T do not think her husband will let you" answers Burton. At all events, he won't let you wrack her nerves by mentioning the awful tragedy"
 So the two together return to the house. They reenter the supper room where Lady Chartris takes possession of Cipriano, notwithstanding his eyes follow every movement of the beauti- ful Marina.
 A moment later Barnes asks Lady Chartris ardently where his bride is.
 "Oh, she's gone up to her chamber to primp for going away" cries Maud, and you haven't given me any brides maids present, either" This last is emphasized by very sullen pout."
 "Oh, that will arrive after l return from my honeymoon cruise" returns the American, lightly, and runs up the stairs to the chamber lately occu.

Size of Oregon Mosquitoes.

The late Col. l.. l.. Hawkins was fond of telling a mosquito story of his own, when Mazamas. gathered round their evening campfire. had to fight on the singing pest at the foot of snow mountains, where the hot footed birds" are often troublesome. You can talk about your big mosquitoes" said hs. after the tale telling drifted into fairy topics. but we (meanlng Rodney Gilsan and himselD can tell something about mosquitoes ourselves. We climbed Skinner's Butte, at Flu gene. to see the sunset. After We had watched the sun awhile it was ob- scured by dense cloud of tremendous mosquitoes They were the hugest ever saw" Here somebody usually asked; How big were they, colonel?" They were so big" was the response. that many of them weighed a pound. Strange to say, Col, Hawk ins never suffered bodily injury for telling this story-Portland Oregon. ian.

Why American Gardens Disappolnt

The reason why American garden ing has not yet come up to the stand ard Of the Europeans is simply that we do rot pay enough. says a writer in Country Life in America We em- ploy incompetent landscape designers or none; we beat the nurseryman down on his plants; We are not will ing to pay first-class gardener what he is worth Yet We are dead game" when it comes to yachts, automobiles. horses, dogs and houses. Why should not our wealthy men be equally will ing to pay fer good gardens?
 l believe they will. These things are all parts of the same outdoor life. The more self-respect a man has the more he values his family life and the more willing he is to spend as much on his outdoor living room as on one of his indoor rooms
 The writer then describes a land scape garden in Pittsburg back yard which cost about S7,000. The effects are certainly splendid

 "Oh, Miss Enid-I beg your pardon Mrs. Barnes has gone on board the yacht, sir. You sent for her.
 "I sent for her. What do you mean?"
 Yes, sir: man coming up from the landing told me to tell my mis- tress you were waiting on board for her"
 That's very curious. Graham and his crew are no: even on board the yacht
 Parnes dashes downstair, calls the mate to him and asks: Has any boat come off from the yacht?'
 No. sir"
 Very well; run down to the land ing stage with me"
 What's the matter?"
 Why, there's something wrong. think" whispers Barnes. not breaking his rapid pace. Thompson has said that I sent for Enid to come to me on board the yacht"
 They are already at the landing stage. but in the darkness they cannot see even the hundred yards to the vessel.
 Her lights are not there," cries the mate they spring into boat and row to where the yacht was moored, but find she has disappeared in the Cark ness.
 By heaven. somebody's gone away with the yacht" gasps Graham.
 And with it on beard my bride," boars Barnes. They have gone away by water; we must follow by water Graham, get across the harbo- and charter some smart craft that can chase the yacht"
 The mate says quietly: 'l under stand and lights boats lantern, as the night is very dark
 As the match gives out its glow, Barnes utters a short. sharp exclama- tion and seizes small piece of paper tackled on the wooden balustrade of the landing place.
 Your light" he commands; then mutters: By the Lord. their mes. sage,' fer he reads by the flickering flame in foreign script: Americana,

 The American is about to interrupt him, but Cipriano continues strain of sadness in his voice: Therefore I am very sorry that I didn't arrive be- fore your nuptials.
