Murderer Captured, .<br />
James Walsh of Red Bank, who for<br />
many years was chief of police of Re,d<br />
Bank' and who was one of the best known<br />
constables in Monmoutb county, was<br />
shot and instantly billed on- Monday<br />
afternoon by WilliamjBulIock in the lat-<br />
ter's yard on Stout street. Bullock is a<br />
•colored man about fifty years old'. He<br />
, flefa after killing Mr. Walsh but was capr<br />
tured at midnight at South Amboy. He<br />
was taken to the county jail by Constable<br />
.Stryker yesterday morning.<br />
Herman Frost, a colored boy seventeen<br />
years old, BOD of Jesse Fro3t of Faii><br />
Haven, was employed by Bullock. He<br />
went to work for him last Saturday.<br />
On Monday afternoon Bullock and Frost<br />
went., to Mrs. James Polhemus's place,<br />
'south of Fair Haven, for a load of straw<br />
and cornstalks. They got back about<br />
'half-past three o'clock. Mr. Walsh was<br />
in the yard and he and Bullock began<br />
talking while Frost began to unhitch the<br />
mule. Bullock went into the bouse and<br />
came out again, and Frost noticed by<br />
his voice that he was getting excited.<br />
They were standing under a shed a short<br />
distance from the house, and Frost was.<br />
on the side of the mule away from the<br />
shed when he heard~piitorilid& He<br />
heard a man fall and he looked under<br />
the mule's body .and saw Mr. Walsh<br />
lying on the ground dead, under the<br />
shed. Frost ran out of the yard and<br />
down Stout street. He headed for Red<br />
Bank. He met a man on Throckmorton'a<br />
bridge and told him that Bullock<br />
had shot a man, and he then ran on to<br />
Capt'. Thomas P. Brown's coal yard,<br />
where he told th¥"story of "the" shooting<br />
to Morris Browrij Mr. Brown sent for<br />
Constable Conk and Frost was taken to<br />
the town hall and locked up. .<br />
As soon a9 Bullock had killed' Mr.<br />
Walsh he went, into the house a moment,<br />
came out again, and then started toward<br />
J$hBTive>. Amos Bennett was at work in<br />
his yard,diagonally across thestreet from<br />
Bullock's place, when the shots were<br />
fired. He saw Frost run out of the yard<br />
and a minute or two afterward he saw<br />
Bullock coma out of the yard and start<br />
toward the river. Bullock was walking<br />
fast and Bennett called to him and asked<br />
him what was the matter. .Bullock replied<br />
that Frost had shot at a chicken.<br />
After Frost had been taken to the<br />
town hall Conk and Justice Charles H.<br />
Borden went to Bullock's house. Lemuel<br />
Ketcham and Louis Brown also went<br />
there. When they got to Bullock's place<br />
tbey went back in the yard and found<br />
Mr. Walsh's dead body lying under.the<br />
abed. It was not until they saw the<br />
body that Jhey knew who had been<br />
killed.<br />
Mr. Walsh was lying on his back and<br />
lie bad apparently died without making<br />
the slightest struggle. The bullet which<br />
killed him had entered his left eye and<br />
he bad fallen backward dead. Two<br />
other bullets were found in his right leg.<br />
;• They had been fed at him aa he fell<br />
and had entered the leg near the -hip.<br />
Another bullet had passed through, the<br />
flap of his coat but had not struck him.<br />
Undertaker Robert T. Smith wai sent<br />
for and the body was removed to .his<br />
place on Front street Vithin an hour<br />
after- the shooting. ; , ' 0 '<br />
When Bullock left the yard he started<br />
diagonally across the Held towards the<br />
river. He went down Harry Miner's<br />
lane, known as Qranga, avenue, and saw<br />
some men at work on a bulkhead, .He<br />
told.them ho wanted to get across the<br />
river to get a cow and ho offered them<br />
half a dollar to row him across. George<br />
Baldwin and Wilt Hallonbako took him<br />
over to the Middletown Bhore. It was a<br />
little rough on tho passaeo over, ond Bullock<br />
stood up in the boat. Tho men told<br />

Lang and Jacob B. Rue went to South<br />
Amboy early on Tuesday morning, leaving<br />
Red Bank on the freight train which<br />
leaves Red Bank at three o'clock. Bullock<br />
wasHakon by them to Freehold on<br />
the newspaper train and was locked<br />
up in the county, jail. The officers at<br />
South Amboy . who arrested. Bullock<br />
told him that Walsh was not. much<br />
hurt and Bullock then talked freely<br />
about the shooting and the causes which<br />
led' up to it. It was not until Bullock<br />
had given his story in great detail that<br />
he was told that WalBh bad been killed<br />
instantly when he shot him. Then be<br />
almoBt collapsed.<br />
Bullock had had considerable trouble<br />
over legal matters of late and he had<br />
become very much worked Tip. Some<br />
time ago he ordered a load of hay from<br />
John Stilwell of Colt's Neck and agreed<br />
to pay $15 for it. When Stilwell took<br />
the hay to Bullock's place he refused to<br />
pay more than $10 for it. Stilwell re<br />
fused to sell the hay at that price and he<br />
carted it away again. He afterward<br />
sued Bullock for. the loss he had sustained<br />
and the trouble be had been put<br />
to in hauling the hay to his house and<br />
hauling it away again and he got judgment.<br />
Bullock paid the amount of the<br />
judgment and costs but he declared at<br />
the time that he would get even- with<br />
Stilwell.<br />
adjoining yard. When the officers got<br />
back to Red Bank tbey made a search<br />
for the weapon but it could not be found.<br />
Afterward the revolver was found at<br />
Mr. Walsh's home and it was learned<br />
that Mr. Walsh did not have a pistol<br />
with him at the time Bullock shot him,<br />
Bullook.said that after he shot Mr.<br />
Walsh he went, in the house for more<br />
cartridges, intending to go and kill Stilwell.,<br />
He could not find the cartridges<br />
and he then undertook to escape, After<br />
being rowed across the river he walked<br />
to Chapel Hill and from there he got a<br />
ride to Keansburg. He climbed,in the<br />
back of a farmer's wagon arid got the<br />
ride unknown to the farmer, He walked<br />
from Keansburg: to Matawan and then<br />
got on a freight, train going north. He<br />
jumped off the train as it was slowing<br />
up at South Amboy and walked almost<br />
into the arms of Policeman James Mc-<br />
Donnell, wiio was watching for him.<br />
Walter S.' Noble of Red Bank had notified<br />
tbe men on' the freight train that<br />
Bullock was likely to get on the train at<br />
some of their stopping places. The train<br />
men saw him get on at Matawan and<br />
they notified the South Amboy police<br />
the moment the train pulled in at the<br />
station.<br />
among all classes. When people were<br />
noisy on the streets be would quiet them<br />
with a word or two and then send them<br />
home instead of arresting them and putting<br />
the town and the individual to expense.<br />
The quietest days of the town,<br />
and the days most free from street<br />
brawls and disturbances, were during hia<br />
service as chief of police.<br />
The children of the town feel that<br />
they have lost a friend in Mr. Walsh.<br />
" He was a bully cop," said one of them<br />
yesterday. "He let us play^fox in the<br />
streets when there were, not many wagons<br />
around, and he never tried to scare<br />
us by telling us he would run us in."<br />
Bullock was born on Long Island. He<br />
has high cheek bone's and other facial<br />
characteristics of the Indian race. He<br />
came to Red Bank several years' ago, and<br />
was generally considered a quiet, inoffensive<br />
citizen. Some people say that<br />
he easily got excited and that then he<br />
was always ready to fight. He was mar-<br />

changes be made in it. This haa been<br />
done and the application will probably<br />
be granted this afternoon or to-morrow.<br />

A NEW SOCIAL SOCIETY.<br />
It Was Organized at little Silver<br />
on Monday Sight.<br />
On Monday night a number of. young<br />
people met 'ht Mrs. J. B. Harvey's at<br />
Little Silver and organized a social club.<br />
The object of the club is to raise money<br />
,for the Christmas tree fund of the Little<br />
Silver Methodist church, and to promote<br />
sociability among the people of the<br />
neighborhood. Business meetings will<br />
be held at the home of the president<br />
every month. Sociables will be held at<br />
the homes of the members on the first<br />
and third 1 Davis, to change the result.<br />
The votes will be recounted by,the<br />
county election board. Two members<br />
of this'hoard are Democrats and two are<br />
Republicans. Under this recount every<br />
ballot will be clpsely scrutinized for distinguishing<br />
marks. No ballot can be<br />
counted unless a majority of the membete<br />
of the election board agree to it..<br />
When two members of the election<br />
board think that, a ballot should be<br />
Counted and two members think it<br />
should not be counted, the ballot is referred<br />
to Judge Collins for his decision.<br />
to.b.^referred.tQ.the judge.as.thereia ..<br />
much difference of opinion as to what<br />
constitutes a marked ballot.<br />
Mr. Davis's friends say that they are<br />
perfectly willing to have the recount.<br />
They say that Mr. Davis does n'ot want<br />
to hold the office of sheriff unless he has<br />
a thoroughly valid title to it. They say<br />
they have no fear but that the errors and<br />
defective ballots" on each- side -will bal- \<br />
ance each other, and that Mr. Davis's<br />
right to hold the office will be made<br />
clear. •'•..,<br />
Mr. Davis .was sworn in office yesterday,<br />
his official majority being 22. In<br />
case Mr. Shutts is declared elected by<br />
the recount Mr. Davis's certificate of<br />
election will be revoked and a" new certificate<br />
to. Mr. Shutts will be issued by<br />
Judge Collins. > Mr.'Sbutts in that case<br />
will immediately take offlce. r<br />
The law permitting a recount to be<br />
made under present conditions -was<br />

PAPER FROM PINE? T<strong>RE</strong>ES.<br />
-4 Sew Industry Started in Florida<br />
Which Promises Bin Results,<br />
< An odd-looking piece of machinery,<br />
' over which the negro 'longshoremen em<br />
ployed on the Cjjder steamship docks<br />
tugged and perspired in their efforts t<br />
.place it on the cars of the Florida Centra<br />
»and Peninsula Railroad, attracted con'<br />
mderable attention recently, and man;<br />
inquiries were made about it. It was<br />
what is known to the paper manufacturing<br />
trado as a dipper, and i6 the first ql<br />
its kind ever shipped to Florida. Thi<br />
machine weighs eight tons and was consigned<br />
to the Pensacota Paper Company,<br />
to be used In crushing, pine .into puipfot<br />
paper-making.<br />
what'makes it of particular interest ii<br />
thefnet that it marks the introduction ol<br />
one of the most important industries of<br />
•the country to the State of .Florida, and<br />
is the forerunner of a mutch larger plant<br />
to be erected at Pensacola in a short time.<br />
A gentleman, who is interested in the<br />
Pensacola factory to some' extent, and<br />
whose brother is a leading stockholder,<br />
says that it will be only a matter of time<br />
when Florida will be one of the leading<br />
centers of the paper manufacture of th<<br />
Country. > .' •<br />
The secret of the shipment of this piece<br />
of machinery lies in the fact that it has<br />
been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a<br />
doubt that paper can be made at a profit<br />
out of pine fibre through a process but<br />
, recentlyinvented by-a Southern inventor,<br />
whose name is Thomas, which enables<br />
those possessed of the secret to eliminate<br />
• the resin from the wood. This processes<br />
known but to three persons, and it has<br />
been decided to keep this secret among<br />
three persons rather than to expose it by<br />
putting the process on file in tcfe paten<br />
office.<br />
The factory erected in PenBacoIa will<br />
have, when everything is completed and<br />
the machinery all in place, a capacity of<br />
four tons daily. While this will amoun<br />
to quite an output in the course of a year<br />
it is a comparatively small plant. Just at<br />
-•• present nothing is being made except<br />
what is known as manila paper. It is,<br />
however, of Excellent quality; and can<br />
be mad» at a cost that will enable it to<br />
•compete with any part of the United<br />
States in quality and cheapness of manufacture.<br />
The material from which the<br />
' paper can be made is abundant, and<br />
d d J k U l b d<br />
Hvered -in New "York city-or .Boston at<br />
least as cheaply aa from tbe mills of Hol-<br />
Toke, Mass. Most of the Northern mills<br />
have to.pay as high as $8 to $10 per cord<br />
for the wood required by them for the<br />
manufacture of wood pulp. The material<br />
to be used in Florida is pine slabs, the refuse<br />
of the mills, and can be bad for almost<br />
nothing, so that what is now practi-<br />
' -cally a waste product will be utilized,<br />
immense crematories having to be constructed<br />
to destroy it. A sample of the<br />
' paper in the unfinished state, manufac-<br />
. til red from the material, on being torn<br />
apart, disclosed a fibre that had the ap-<br />
pearance of canton flannel.<br />
A KIND-HEARTED GA.NDER.<br />
Acted as Guide and JProteetor to an<br />
Old Blind Goose.<br />
(From the Philadelphia JHmtt.)<br />
My grandfather had a Swan Jiiyer gander,<br />
which had been reared near the<br />
house and had consequently attached<br />
himself to the members of the family;<br />
so much so that, on seeing any of them<br />
at a distance, he would run to meet them<br />
with all possible demonstrations of delight.<br />
•<br />
But Swnnny was quite an outcast from<br />
his own tribe, and as often as he made<br />
humble overtures to the other geese, so<br />
often was he driven away with great con<br />
tempt, and on euch occasions Tie would<br />
frequently run to some of his human<br />
friends and, laying his head on their lap,<br />
seem to seek for sympathy.<br />
At last, however, he found a friend<br />
among his own species. An old gray<br />
goose, becoming blind, wasalso discarded<br />
by her more fortunate companions, and<br />
Swanny lost no opportunity of recognizing<br />
this ^comrade in distress. ' He at<br />
once took her under his protection and<br />
= led her about. When he considered it<br />
well for her to have a swim be would<br />
gently take her neck in his bill and thus<br />
lead her. sometimes a great distance,<br />
to the water's edge. .Having fajrly<br />
launched her he kept close by her side,<br />
and guided her from dangerous places<br />
by arching his neck over hers and so turning<br />
her to a convenient.landing place<br />
and taking her neck in bis bill as before,<br />
lead her to terra fli-ma again, ' . .<br />
When she had goslings lie would<br />
proudly convoy the whole -party, to the<br />
water side, and if any ill-fated fcosling<br />
got into difficulties.in a hole or a deep<br />
•cart-rut 8wanny, with ready skill,, would<br />
put his bill under its bodv land carefully<br />
raise it to the level ground.<br />
jTho Mayor Was fortunate.<br />
'•In a certain town in Vermont,'?said<br />
-the Boston drummer aa he chewed away<br />
at a pepsin tablet, "I picked up a wallet<br />
containing $600 in cash. There were papers<br />
bearing tho.owner's name, and he<br />
proved to^ bo, tbe mnyor of the town. I<br />
at once bunted him up and handed over<br />
his lost cash, and as he received it he<br />
looked me over and scratched the back<br />
of his head and snid: i<br />
"I shall reward you, of course. How<br />
much do you think you ought to have?"<br />
'' Nothing whatever, Bir. I am glad to<br />
restore your property."<br />

This is exactly the difference between<br />
Shrewsbury township and the rest of the<br />
county. Shewsbury to\ynship people,<br />
Eepublicans and Democarts' alike, vote<br />
for friendship more than they do for<br />
party, and far more than they do for<br />
money. When Shrewsbury township<br />
decides to v,ote for a-man she votes for.<br />
him, no matter what side of the policial*<br />
fence he is on. In other townships<br />
money can buy the votes of lots of m,en<br />
of each party, from the highest party<br />
leaders down to the humble voter wbo :<br />
can not read his ballot. Those party<br />
leaders to whom mom>y is no object can<br />
be got to go either way by promise of<br />
influence or by threat of political destruction.<br />
. - ., •-'-••—<br />
In Shrewsbury township, money, political<br />
promises aud threats carry very<br />
little weight. There are a few men who<br />
claim prominence who can be moved by<br />
these considerations, but these are riot<br />
the men who have influence with the<br />
mass of voters. Shrewsbury voters are<br />
loyal to | their friends,, no matter what<br />
party they belong to. More than any<br />
other township in the county, of Monrnouth,<br />
Shrewsbury township is~un :<br />
swayed by outside influence. Everything<br />
possible was done to effect the<br />
change in Shrewsbury-tbat was effected<br />
in the rest of the county, but the township<br />
remained' true to its friends. No<br />
other township could cast a vote, like<br />
limited money-, strong -political pressure<br />
and gross threats. Loyalty to friends<br />
hasalwaya been.Shrewsbury township's<br />
political badge of honor, anda township<br />
which makes this motto its shibboleth is<br />
certainly a good township to) livoln.<br />
* * *<br />
The recount of the votes for sheriff<br />
ought to have one good effect, entirely<br />
outside of any personal view of success<br />
of either candidate. It ought to result<br />
in showing up in court some of the devices<br />
by which votes are bought. The<br />
corruption in Monmouth county is startling<br />
and perhaps not less than fifty thousand<br />
dollars was spent on election day<br />
in buying votes. .Officials of all kinds<br />
take part in the practice, froth the highest<br />
to the loweat, and the more expert a<br />
man becomes in the corrupt use of<br />
money, the more certain he becomes to<br />
be rewarded with an office for his work.<br />
If in the investigation of the vote this<br />
fall evidence should be obtained proving<br />
the buying of votes on either side, the<br />
guilty man .ought to be punished and<br />
sent to prison, even as John Y. McKane<br />
was sent to prison. Of course these men<br />
would not be one whit more guilty than<br />
scores of others on each side, but until<br />
an example is made the criminals who<br />
buy votes will consider themselves safe<br />
from punishment, no matter how bold<br />
they may be, and no matter how openly<br />
or how grossly they violate the election<br />
law. ,<br />

TAMED THE JOCKEYS.<br />
• v .<br />
Tlie Midgets Each Bad a Btid Oaae<br />
• of Swelled Head,<br />
• • (Vtt>m tht Waihfhgtaii Star).<br />
"It is a notorious fact," said an old<br />
horseman, "that successful jockeys<br />
are more afflicted .with the big head<br />
than any other class of midgets you're<br />
liable to meet up with. On two occasions<br />
that I recall I've seen American<br />
waiters talfe prominent American<br />
jockeys down when the latter have become.<br />
Insufferable in their conduct<br />
Some Nyears ago on eastern «|ockey<br />
whose fame was spread broadcast<br />
throughout the racing world was taking<br />
dinner with a party of fooUBhly<br />
idolatrous friends at the Clltt House,<br />
outside of San Francisco. The jockey<br />
had been riding during the winter racing<br />
In and around Ban Francisco, and<br />
on this day ho had won the swell'event<br />
of the year on a rather no account<br />
horse. Consequently his bat was a<br />
' whole lot too small for him.<br />
"He was an Insulting little chap at<br />
best,/ but on this,occasion he simply<br />
let his tongue run away with %\a<br />
brains. His humor took the turn of<br />
Joshing an old time waiter at the OllCf<br />
HouBe who had been in California<br />
since the days of the Argonauts, tfh<br />
old man had long side whiskers, and<br />
the jockey made sundry and divers "re-marks<br />
to the waiter about the opportunity<br />
he was giving to the wind, by<br />
•wearing* 1 whiskers of that particular<br />
length, and the old man took *he talk<br />
good naturedly without paying much<br />
attention to the touch of nastiness In<br />
. the midget's' remarks. Finally, however,<br />
when the wine had gone around<br />
pretty freely, the jockey reached np<br />
behind bis chair as the old waiter was<br />
in the act of performing some little<br />
service for the men at the table, and,<br />
twisting his hand In the hair on one<br />
side of the old servitor's face, he deliberately<br />
pulled out a fairly large hand-<br />
•. ful of the latter's whiskers.<br />
"The old man leaped back with pain<br />
land indignation, the jockey laughing<br />
^at^ImJdlotloaUy.__Thj!n>the waiter<br />
, ..cooHy.Ufted^theJockey out of his chair'<br />
by the" scrjiff "of the^ neck,sat down<br />
and calmly deposited the midget across<br />
his knees, face downward.<br />
" 'Son.'i said, the waiter, there's<br />
something that you've stood in need of<br />
for a long time past, judging from<br />
your actions here during the past few<br />
months, and that something you're<br />
about to get^nnd get" good,' and ho<br />
brought the palm of an ample hand<br />
. down with a smack that sounded very<br />
pleasant Indeed unto the ears of all<br />
the rest of the people in the room (except<br />
the jockey's friends) who had<br />
Seen the beard pulling incldant. Then<br />
he brought both bands Into play, and<br />
the rataplan told of splendid execution.<br />
The jockey kicked and struggled,<br />
but he couldn't break loose, and<br />
he had to take his medicine. Then his<br />
friends at the table jumped to his rescue,<br />
and, quickly letting the Jockey<br />
slide on to the floor, the old waiter,<br />
thoroughly aroused, jumped up and<br />
knocked them down one after, the oth-<br />
••' er. He just polished them all off in detail,<br />
and when he had got through -with<br />
them he stood his ground. Then the<br />
manager appeared on the scene, and<br />
when he was told by a number of other<br />
guests, prominent men, what had<br />
happened he assisted In kicking the<br />
party out of the house.<br />
"Another time a jockey .who leaped<br />
into prominence with meteoric speed<br />
by reason of his winning two of the<br />
great events of the eastern turf In<br />
quick succession got the worst of it: u$<br />
the bands of a Coney Island waiter.<br />
I saw the lncldentjmyself. The jockey<br />
had had such a mighty accession of<br />
the 'I am It' spirit that he considered<br />
he could perform all sorts of mean little<br />
tricks at tho expense of all hands<br />
and do the same with impunity. On<br />
this day hejiad won three straight<br />
races,- and his lmperlousness was<br />
something monumental He took: dinner<br />
with three bookmakers on ono of<br />
v- the big Coney Island piers. Tho man<br />
who waited on the party was a bullet<br />
head, but a quiet, attentive man at<br />
^ that. Ho was removing some plates<br />
after the second.course when the jock-<br />
J ey picked up a siphon of seltzer and<br />
deliberately Bqulrted half the bottlo<br />
full In the waiter's face. , Tho waiter<br />
wiped his face and his shirt front off<br />
with his table towel and then he walked<br />
up to the jockey's chair and said:<br />
" 'Have you had yer dip in de Bea ylt<br />
t'day, Freddy?'<br />
"'No,' said tho Jockey, with an expression<br />
of surprise on his face, as If<br />
he wondered what was coming. f<br />
"«I fought not,' said tho bullet<br />
headed waiter. 'Dat's do reason I'm<br />
goln t'let you have It now.'<br />
"Then tho waiter' suddenly picked<br />
tho famous Jo'cltey' tip; and' before any<br />
of tho men at the table could Interfere<br />
ho carried* him over to tho railing of<br />
tho pier and dropped tho midget borso<br />
rider Into tho water, about 15 foot below.<br />
"'I JlBt want t' BOO If do little<br />
snoozbr wit' do swelled nut kin swim<br />
as well as ho kin rldo a horse,' said tho<br />
wnltor, qulotly watching tho jockey<br />
«omo to tho surface and strlko out.<br />
Tho Joclcoy could swim, and lie inado<br />
tho bench without any trouble, but ho<br />
didn't return to tho plor."<br />

1 NEW FARMERS' LEAGUE.<br />
ONLY FARMERS AND FARM<br />
OWNERS CAN, JOIN IT.<br />
Its Object Is to Get Reduced Prices<br />
for Goods 6« Buying in Combina-<br />
tion, to Save FreiaM> and to Otherwise<br />
Belv Farmers,<br />
A new organization has been formed<br />
-among the farmers of this part of Monmouth<br />
county to advance their interests.<br />
The organization is of much the same<br />
nature as the Monmouth county farmers'<br />
association which has headquarters at<br />
Keyport, but the membership will be restricted<br />
to fanners and to men who own<br />
farms.<br />
The work of forming the new organization<br />
has been going on for some time<br />
and the organization was completed lost<br />
week by the election of these officers:<br />
1 -President—Win. W. Conover, Jr.<br />
Vice president—Edwin Beokman.<br />
Secretary—Honry C. McLean.<br />
Buyer-Charles Tindall,<br />
These officers, together with Joseph<br />
Frost, Walter Hopping and Warren<br />
Conklin, form the board of directors.<br />
The name of the organization is the<br />
"Farmers' Cooperative League." Bylaws<br />
have been adopted for the government<br />
of the'organization, and it is intended<br />
to have the association in full<br />
•working order before the first of December.<br />
The object in restricting membership<br />
to'farmers and to owners of farms<br />
is to prevent persons who have no per-<br />
• sonal interest in farming from participating<br />
in the advantages of the organization.<br />
, Qne of the objects of farmers'<br />
associations is to buy goods-of general<br />
farm and household use in large quantities,<br />
and BO get low rates. It is said<br />
that in most farmers' associations there<br />
are many members who are not farmers,<br />
but who join the association for the sake<br />
of getting their household supplies<br />
cheaper than they otherwise could. The<br />
dues are usually very low and there is<br />
ordinarily no restrictions as to membership.<br />
In the new Farmers' League the dues<br />
are $8 per year, and at the end of each<br />
year whatever money remains in\ the<br />
bands of the.secretary, after all the expenses<br />
of the year are paid, is to be<br />
divided equally among the members.<br />
The membership of the league is rapidly<br />
growing, and while there has been<br />
no limit set on the membership, most of<br />
those who expect to join will probably<br />
have done so by the first of December;<br />
The league is to be run very economically.<br />
The buyer is to get two dollars<br />
per day and expenses for the time he<br />
actually puts in in the interest of the<br />
league, and the secretary is to get a salary<br />
of $10 per year. The annual meeting of<br />
the organization is to be held the first<br />
Tuesday in each year.<br />
The objects of the league are set out<br />
in the by-laws as being "to collect and<br />
distribute information in regard to horticulture,<br />
by comparing results of experiments<br />
and methods of cultivation of<br />
.varieties raised; to incite the production<br />
of better varieties and better packing;<br />
and to protect its members from exorbitant<br />
rates of freight and cartage and<br />
also from excessive prices of all necesary<br />
articles used in the carrying out of our<br />
several pursuits."<br />
Fertilizers, farm machinery, seed corn<br />
and other seeds, coal, grapa and berry<br />
baskets, paokages for shipping produco,<br />
and other things required on a farm, will<br />
all be bought by the buyer, or by Bpecial<br />
purchasing committees from time to<br />
time. When goods are to be ordered,<br />
each momber needing goods of that kind<br />
must send in his order and accompany<br />
the order by the amount of money<br />
thought necessary to pay for his goods.<br />
If ho does not do this the buyer or the<br />
special purchasing committee will not<br />
be allowed to order his goods.<br />
Every member, when ho joins the<br />
league, must take an oatb that ho will<br />
not divulge tho prices paid for any<br />
article, or tho prices obtained for any<br />
nrtiole Bold through tho league. If ho<br />
doca divulge'tht'uoHocrota hole to ho oxpolled<br />
from tho association,<br />
No -moinbor will bo allowed to order<br />
•moro goods of any kind than will supply<br />
his probable nooda; and if a momber<br />
hna something over, «{ter his own needs<br />
htwo been mippliud, ho oannot soil tho<br />
residue, lit longuo prices, oxcopt to a<br />
member of tho league.<br />

else. In the desert, 300 miles square,<br />
with Flagstaff as a center, are spread<br />
put a yar^ety of wonders 6f which the<br />
people of this country have little or no<br />
conception, but if. they were In Europe<br />
or Asia thousands of our citizens<br />
would cross the ocean to see them.<br />
Being within only two or three days'<br />
journey of Chicago and easy of access<br />
by ,freque"nt trains of sleeping and<br />
dining cars and other "modern luxuries<br />
of travel, they are overlooked by the<br />
multitude and are practically unknown.<br />
- To my mind, next to the Grand canyon<br />
of the Colorado, the most interest-<br />
Ing and impressive of the natural wonders<br />
of this great Arizona museum is<br />
the petrified forest, which covers nearly<br />
100 square miles, within easy distance,<br />
either on. foot or horseback,<br />
from Billings station, on the Santa<br />
Fe railroad, but it can be more easily<br />
reached by carriage from Holbrook,<br />
where better accommodations can be<br />
found. The government explorers have<br />
christened It Chalcedony park.<br />
The surface of the ground for.miles<br />
and miles around Is covered with gigantic<br />
logs three or four feet in diameter,<br />
petrified to the core. Many-of<br />
them are translucent. Some are almost<br />
transparent. All present the most beautiful<br />
shades of blue, yellow, pink, purple,<br />
red and gray. Some are like gigantic<br />
amethysts, some resemble the<br />
smoky topaz and some are as pure and<br />
white as alabaster. At places the chips<br />
of agate from the trunks that have<br />
crumbled lie a foot deep upon the<br />
ground, and It Is easy to obtain cross<br />
sections of trees showing every vein<br />
and even the bark.<br />
Comparatively little of this agate has<br />
been used xp. manufacturing, although<br />
It is easy to obtain. Manufacturing<br />
Jewelers of New York have made table<br />
tops and boxes and other articles from<br />
strips that have been sent them, and<br />
If the material were not so abundant<br />
Its beauty would command enormous<br />
prices. Where you can get a carload of<br />
Jewelry for nothing you are. not likely<br />
to pay high prices for it<br />
A bird's eye view of the petrified forests<br />
on a sunny day suggests a gigantic<br />
kaleidoscope. The surface of the<br />
earth resembles an infinite variety of<br />
rainbows. The geologists say this great<br />
plain, now 6,000 feet'above the sea,<br />
was once covered by a forest,' which<br />
was submerged for ages in water<br />
strongly charged with minerals, until<br />
the fibers of the trees were thoroughly<br />
soaked and transformed into eternal<br />
stone. - Many of the trunks are still<br />
packed In a deposit of fine clay, which<br />
was left by the receding waters, but<br />
the erosion of the wind has pulverized<br />
much of the clay and carried It off In<br />
the air, exposing the Becrets that nature<br />
burled under Its surface.<br />
One great tree spans a deep gulch 40<br />
feet wide. It lies where it fell centuries,<br />
perhaps ages, ago, and is a most<br />
beautiful specimen of petrified wood.<br />
The rings and the bark can be easily<br />
traced through tlio translucent agate,<br />
and It is firm enough and strong<br />
enough to last as many centuries as it<br />
has already spent hi its- peculiar position.<br />
It is undoubtedly the only<br />
bridge of agate in the world and alone<br />
is worth a long journey to see.<br />
The Indians of the southwest used<br />
to visit the petrified forests frequently<br />
to obtain agate for their arrow arid<br />
spear heads, and the material was<br />
scattered over, the entire continent by<br />
exchange between the different tribes,<br />
from-the isthmus of Panama to Bering<br />
strait.. The great deposit here explains<br />
where all the arrowheads of<br />
moss agate came from and other<br />
weapons and Implements of similar<br />
material that are found in the Indian<br />
mounds and graves of the central and<br />
western states. In the etone age the<br />
agate of the petrified forest was the<br />
very best material that could be obtained<br />
for both the implements of war<br />
and peace of the aborigines. A scalplug<br />
knife could bo made very easily<br />
from one of tho chips of agate and<br />
could bo ground to a very fino edge.<br />
Many crystals were UBed for Jewelry<br />
and ornaments also.- '""'<br />

STEEL ROOFS/<br />
The Steel Trust Has Raised Prices but Steel<br />
Roofs are Still the Best in the World.<br />
The price of steel roofing sheets, has gone up, on account<br />
of the operations of the great steel trust; but while the trust<br />
has affected the price of steel roofs, a steel roof is still the best<br />
roof that can be put On a building, and it is the cheapest roof<br />
in the end.<br />
A steel.roof, properly put on, will never leak. It is the<br />
best roof in every way. It is the most durable roof, for it will<br />
never wear out. It is the cheapest roof in the world in the<br />
end, for there is never a cent needed for repairs.<br />
I have every appliance for putting on steel roofs in the very<br />
best way. I have had Jwelve years' experience at the business.<br />
I have skilled workmen, and I have the knowledge needed to<br />
make certain'that Iget the very best goods manufactured.<br />

the freeholders and Mr. Sickles, township<br />
committeemen George E. Jenkinson<br />

After being driven over the road the<br />
board met at the hotel and voted to accept<br />
it. The entire party, including<br />
contractors Jacob T. and Jonathan T.<br />
Stout of Atlantio Highlands, had dinner<br />
at the hotel.<br />
The road is built in two sections. One<br />
section extends from All Saints' church<br />
nearly to the cross roads at Chapel Hill<br />
The other section branches off at Navesink<br />
and goes to the borough limits of<br />
Atlantic Highlands by way of Hillside.<br />
The roads are well crowned and drained,<br />

<strong>BE</strong>LFOBD'S NEW ROAD.<br />
Shortening the Distance to the Iicl-<br />
. < ford Station. •<br />
"Work on the new road at Belford,<br />
•which was laid out some time ago, has<br />
beeii begun by John T. Hopping, who is<br />
overseer of the roads in that district.<br />
The road is to'extend from the east road<br />
.to 1 Urn. Mary Thiel of Belford Tahen<br />
•". Suddenly Stck on the Highway,<br />
;'i-jMj». Mary Thjel of Belford conducts a<br />
gtocery and notioh store near the station<br />
at that place. Last Friday she was walk'<br />
ing from the store to her house, a distance<br />
of about 100 yards, when she was<br />
taken with a fainting spell and fell ua<br />
conscious in the road. Cornelius Post<br />
of Keyport, who; drives a vegetable<br />
wagon through Belford, saw her fall,<br />
and he and Ives Branson of Belford<br />
went to her aid and helped her^into the<br />
house; • . • • • •<br />
Mrs. Thiel said she had a pocketbook<br />
containing about $75 when she started<br />
from the store and" when she came out<br />
of the fainting spell' she could not find<br />
the pocketbook. She told her husband,<br />
John Thiel, that she thought Mr. PoBt<br />
took the money. Mr. Thiel went to.<br />
Keyport the same, night and demanded<br />
%he money from Mr. Post. Mr. Post<br />
said that.he knew nothing about the<br />
money and Mr. Thiel went back home.<br />
While he was away the pocketbook and<br />
money were found tucked away .between<br />
the bed clothing, where Mrs. Thiel had<br />
evidently hidden it away and forgotten<br />
about it. Mr. Postjtold several people at<br />
Belford on Saturday that he would sue<br />
the Thiels for defamation of character.<br />

,, HIT WITH AN AXE.<br />
Jettv Parker of Seaside Slakes ah<br />
>h Attach on Jtts Father.<br />
Jetty Parker, son of John Parker of<br />
Seaside, attacked his father with an axe<br />
' last Friday afternoon and inflicted a<br />
wQund in' bis father's side that will lay<br />
him up for some time. Jetty Parker is<br />
eighteen years old. He has epileptic<br />
fits, is subject to morose and sullen periods<br />
and is generally considered & degenerate.<br />
He raises pigeons and last Friday<br />
when he came home his mother told<br />
hilil that some of tlie.pigeons had got<br />
out-of their enclosure., He.accused his<br />
mother of letting the pigeons out purposely<br />
nud called her a vile name. Mr.<br />
Parker interfered and Jetty walked out<br />
. of\ the house. He returned in a few<br />
minutes with an axe and aimed a blow<br />
at his father's head. His father threw<br />
ujMiis arm to ward off the blow and the<br />
blunt edge of the axe struck him in the<br />
side. Ho wa8"injured so badly that he<br />
wa's obliged to go to bed. The flesh is<br />
badly, bruised and it is feared that,he is<br />
injured internally.<br />
Jetty Parker fled from the house aB<br />
aoon as lie struck the blow, No effort is<br />
being made to catch him and if he<br />
snbuld return home his father would<br />
tffrt make a charge against him. He<br />
does not think- his eon is entirely responsible<br />
for his acts and he does not<br />
think there would be any advantage,<br />
either to himself or to the public, in pros<br />
luting him.<br />

. MAJOR-GENERAL CROOK,<br />
General Charles King's Reminiscences<br />
of BUtn. ,<br />
: (From the Tbufh'a Companion.)<br />
Young officers fresh from West Point<br />
looked at him In wonderment. Instead<br />
of a somewhat unapproachable digni-<br />
tary, in precise uniform and epaulets<br />
and embroidered sash and' belt,- they<br />
were welcomed by a cordial handclasp<br />
from a tall, bushy bearded man, with<br />
twinkling gray blue eyeB, in an old<br />
Blouch felt hat, flannel • shirt, rough<br />
ernxvas shooting coat and trousers and<br />
'common soldier's boots. .<br />
Generally his beard was tied up with<br />
Btrlng or Wd tape, the only use he had<br />
for that usual military indispensable.<br />
He sat at eampflre or- in the simply<br />
furnished parlor of his army:home lis-<br />
tening to the chat about him, rarely(<br />
speaking and assiduously playing solitaire<br />
with a pack of cards produced<br />
from an Inner pocket. He could play a<br />
capital hand at whist, but fought shy<br />
of a game with careless or forgetful<br />
players. He heard everything that was<br />
said and saw everything going on<br />
about liim, but seldom gave a sign.<br />
From the so called'pleasures of so-'<br />
clety, dinners, dances and receptions<br />
h« shrank in dismay. He ate only the<br />
simplest food. He never smoked. He<br />
hated wine. He wouldn't touch spirits.<br />
He marveled that any man should.<br />
"It spoils his shooting," said he. Andour<br />
• general was a capital shot He<br />
could foot.it through an old fashioned<br />
quadrille or Virginia reel, but nothing<br />
else, and would always get away on<br />
social occasions into the first obscure<br />
corner. he could find, and then out<br />
would come the old pack of cards.<br />
He rarely read anything but nature's<br />
books, although he had a mathematical<br />
gift and not only stood well In scientific<br />
studies at the Point, as did<br />
Grant, but he helped along his unmathematlcal<br />
. roommate, Sheridan.<br />
Writing was something Crook abhorred.<br />
He could hardly decipher one of<br />
his own pages, and his letters and dispatches,<br />
like those of old "Rough and<br />
generally penned by some brilliant<br />
staff officer. ; .<br />
Children he loved, and treated with<br />
a shy- tenderness that was sweet to<br />
see, but he had none of his own. His<br />
wife was a Maryland girl who won his<br />
heart during the war days while her<br />
brother and other enterprising "rebs"<br />
made way with his body, capturing<br />
him by a daring night raid-into Cumberland.<br />
Like Grant, he was simplicity itself<br />
n speech, rarely lifting up his voice,<br />
and only once did I ever hear him"<br />
speak an impatient word or one that<br />
faintly resembled an expletive, but<br />
that was in the thick of the Sioux campaign<br />
of 1876 and when he had much<br />
to try him.<br />
We had to eat our horses that year<br />
to keep alive. We had no tents, and<br />
hardly a change of underwear could<br />
be found in the whole column. We<br />
were wet, bedraggled and dirty when<br />
we reached the Yellowstone, but the<br />
general was as badly off as the humblest<br />
trooper and minded.It less. There<br />
we met the spruce command of General<br />
Terry, and Terry himself, In hand-<br />
some uniform, the picture of the gentleman<br />
and soldier, .came over to our<br />
bivouac to call on Crook. I was drying<br />
my buckskins at a fire as he approached<br />
and stepped forward to salute<br />
him.<br />
"Where shall I find General Crook?"<br />
said he.<br />
For a moment I could not answer.<br />
Then an old trooper grinned and nodded<br />
toward the river, and there, squatted<br />
on a rock, well out in the stream,<br />
stripped to the waist and scrubbing<br />
away at his shirt, was our general,<br />
and Terry was too much of a gentleman<br />
even to look amused at the sight.<br />
The Indians called him the "Gray<br />
Fox." The soldiers had their pet<br />
names, but we, his officers, who followed<br />
him all over the west, from the<br />
Mexican border to the upper Yellowstone,<br />
sp6ke of him always as "the<br />
general," our general. That meant, of<br />
course, CrooUt' tho simplest 'soldier I<br />
ever knew. In all tho years it was my<br />
fortune to serve under him In Arizona,<br />
Wyoming, Dakota, Montana or at his<br />
headquarters In Omaha or Chicago, I<br />
never saw him In the uniform of his<br />
rank until he lay dead In his coffin, his<br />
guard of honor grouped about him.'<br />
Wooing of the Woodcock.<br />
The wooing of tho woodcock Is one<br />
of those sights to witness which a lover<br />
of nature In all Its moods will make<br />
a Journey of miles. The scene Is enacted<br />
at twilight, and tho setting Is of<br />
willow or alder bushes whoso branches<br />
are just beginning to show the<br />
tender green of early spring. Suddenly<br />
from tho damp ground a bird form<br />
shoots upward like somo swamp spirit<br />
until It IB outlined against tho gray<br />
of tho evening sky. Thou it circles<br />
abovo tho branches, and tho Bong of<br />
tho wooing begins. Hidden In the<br />
darkness of tho thick lower growth Is<br />
tho object to which this lovo Bong Is<br />
directed. Tlio bird above circles perhaps<br />
a Bcoro of Union, then drops back<br />

GOT HIS PI8CHABGE.<br />
Tilings Came Just night for the<br />
Naval Machinist.<br />
Several years ago a quiet young<br />
chap shipped as a machinist in the<br />
navy aboard the receiving ship Ver-<br />
mont at the Brooklyn navy yard. He<br />
gave San Francisco as his place of<br />
nativity. He was assigned toa cruiser<br />
about to start for the China station by<br />
the Suez canal route. He was a crack<br />
mechanic and very soon showed the<br />
engineers that he knew how to earn<br />
bis rate and wages. He never said<br />
much about himself. He wasn't any-<br />
thing of what Is called a "man-o'-war<br />
chaw/' and, although he bad been<br />
up and down the world a good deal,<br />
be let others do the talking. He was<br />
perhaps the quietest man in the Amer-<br />
ican navy at the time he served.<br />
HlBgship got to the__ Asiatic station<br />
oil right and cruised back and forth<br />
there between China and Japan for<br />
close on to three years. .Then she was<br />
ordered back to the United States.<br />
She had a lot of "overtime" men<br />
aboard pf her by tbat time, sailors<br />
whose time had expired, but who pre-<br />
ferred to wait until they reached the<br />
United States before they took their<br />
discbarges. When the ship was or-<br />
dered back home, a lot of overtime<br />
men from other ships on the Asiatic<br />
station were sent to her to be brought<br />
back to this country. • ••—~<br />
--' This -machinist—call him Beall—had<br />
Just 21 days left of his three year en-<br />
listment when the ship left Yokohama<br />
for San Francisco via' the Hawaiian<br />
Islands, All of the overtime men<br />
were talking about their trip around<br />
from San Francisco to New .York by<br />
passenger steamer. They had all ship-<br />
ped at the Brooklyn navy yard, and<br />
• the navy always sends men to the<br />
point whence it takes them when they<br />
enlist unless, they "waive transporta-<br />
tion" for the purpose of stopping off<br />
at an Intermediary point.<br />
"~~it"to6kTBe~shlirt4Tlays-to "fetch up'~<br />
Honolulu from Yokohama, and then<br />
Beall, the machinist, had five days yet<br />
to eerve.<br />
"Are you going to vralve transporta-<br />
tion and drop off at San Francisco, or<br />
are you going around to New York<br />
with us?" the men asked him when the<br />
ship pulled into Honolulu.<br />
"Don't know yet," the machinist re-<br />
plied.<br />
After coaling at Honolulu—which<br />
took four days, done leisurely—the<br />
skipper of the ship 'decided to take a<br />
bit of a run around the Hawaiian Is-<br />
lands, before up anchoring for San<br />
Francisco. Beall's time expired on the<br />
morning that his ship was headed for<br />
Lahaina, on the island of Maul, a lit-<br />
tle sail of about 85 miles from Hono-<br />
lulu. The ship dropped her anchor<br />
within about 300 yards of the Lahaina<br />
beach along toward 3 o'clock hi the<br />
afternoon.<br />
The Island of Maul Is very beautiful<br />
to look upon—a" veritable gem of the<br />
, ocean, If such a one was ever fashion-<br />
ed by the hand of the creator. Beall,<br />
the machinist, was off watch, and<br />
standing on the to'gallant fo'c'sle,<br />
smoking his pipe, when the ship cast<br />
her anchor oft Lahalna. There was<br />
some longing in his quiet gray eyes.<br />
He knoekedathe ashes out of his pipe,<br />
stretched his arms and then walked<br />
down to the mainmast and told the of-<br />
ficer of the deck that he wanted to. sea<br />
the commanding officer. The command-<br />
Ing officer came out of his cabin.<br />
"What is It, my man?' he asked ^the<br />
machinist. /<br />
"My time is ouj, sir," said the ma><br />
chlnlst "I guess I'll take my dis-<br />
charge here."<br />
The commanding officer looked sur-<br />
prised.<br />
"This is rather a, queer notion," he<br />
said. "You shipped in New Ybrk, did<br />
you not? I should think you would<br />
want to get back to tho United States<br />
after your three years on the China<br />
station. Or, at any rate,' that yon<br />
^wduld prefer to wait until we get back<br />
to Honolulu, If you want to waive<br />
transportation and take your discbarge<br />
down bere among the islands. Why do<br />
you want your discbarge today' and<br />
here?" ' .<br />
Tho machinist smiled as he replied:<br />
"Because this island bere, Maul, la<br />
my home. At this moment my father<br />
and motlier and seven brothers and<br />
sisters aro on this island. They are at<br />
a placonot very far from Lahalna, call-<br />
ed Spreckclsvlllo. Tho girl that I am<br />
going to marry Is also there, I was<br />
born in Frisco, but my father camo<br />
down to this island as engineer of a<br />
sugar plantation when I was 2 years<br />
old. None of thorn know that I am<br />
within just a fow mllctrof homo now.<br />
I want to give them a little surprise.<br />
I walvo transportation, and I'll take<br />
my dlachnrgo now."<br />
Tho commanding officer listened to<br />
tho recital with IntorosL<br />
"Of couroo Wll give you your dis-<br />
charge, uon," ho eald, "although I'm<br />
sorry to loso you, and I had hoped you<br />
might ship over. OIOBO mouthed men<br />

You Take No Risk<br />
In buying'a piano from- Storck, for Storck deals only in the old reliable makes. Why<br />
pay high prices for inferior instrumentsthat you know nothing about when you. can get<br />
instruments that have a world-wide reputation for quality at the same price or less. Too<br />
much money is involved in a piano transaction for one to enter into such a transaction^<br />
•:. without a careful investigation .of the respective merits of the instruments upon the market.<br />
These makes are reliable: - ./ • ;<br />
