Our most unique experience, how
ever, was one that followed the re-
ceipt of an invitation to candidate in
one Of the old, aristocratic and veal
thy churches of New England. 1T
was such a tempting offer, couched in
language that disarmed suspicion.
"Only one candidate would be consid-
cred at time," it read-an irresisti-
bic bait which scheming trustees have
learned to cast in front of desirable
men with almost absolute certainty
Of getting strike" Our hearts
beat fast. John lost no time in writ
ing back that we would come at the
appointed time.
Feeling much depended. upon ap-
pearances, we nearly went into bank
ruptcy in order to get new Clothes
When at last we set forth upon our
journey no bride and groom ever look
ed more dressed for the occasion than
we. Reaching our destination late on
Saturday afternoon, we<went as di-
rected to the hotel. While being
shown to our room two men were pas
sengers with US on the elevator. They
were strangers to us and we to them,
but it happened that one was MEM
Der of the parish committee.
"Yes," he said to the other, "we
have to hear these candidates for the
sake of appearances, but of course we
shall consider none of them whatever.
When it appears that we have heard
enough we shall call Mr.. Gilbert. He's
Mrs. Ballou's choice, you know"
John looked at me and j looked at
John. Both of US felt as though the
elevator was suddenly going down in
stead Of up. Was it strange that our
enthusiasm was gone by the time the
page deposited our suit-cases in our
room? The trustee, however, spoke
the truth. At this writing, many
years later, Mr. Gilbert is still minis
tering to the spiritual welfare of Mrs.

sCULLvILLE MAD-DOG SCARE.

The death of two cows from hydro
phobia at Scullville has, SO alarmed
the township authorities that they
have taken steps to prevent any re-
currence of such incidents.
At the last meeting Of the Egg
Harbor Township officials, held last
week at Bargaintown, Samuel Black
man was vested with the authority Of
official dog catcher, and it is to be his
duty to dispose of all homeless and
foreign CANNES that may stray into
Scullville. Mr.. Blackman is to re-
ceive fifty cents per head for all the
dogs he removes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-After all
the yicissitudes OF the week, the
stock market today all but came to
a dead halt. There were up and
down fluctuations; but their range
was much narrower than yester-
days, and the market closed with
few important changes, though with
same weakness at the last.
European markets lapsed into sim
liar apathy. Sterling exchange rose
very sharply, rejecting substantial
remittances TO London--possibly in
connection with the Austrian. notes.
In some respects, the plunging OF
the financial community into a gulf
OF gloom, during the fortnight past,
Il quite in accord with the tradi-
tional order of events. We had had
two or three successive months OF
highly and legitimately stimulated
enthusiasm. Nature had favored the
American people on every side; trade
activity and business prosperity
were almost at high water mark.
There was no cloud visible in the
sky. But people experienced in
financial weather know that those
are the times TO look out for storm.
After a period of the sort, sufficient
