GIVE NATUHE A CHANCE. Governor of New de-sey Crotests Against _ Advertising Sigus That Shuc OF Views sips of Litis and Flowers. Trepton, N. J., Jan. 12.—Gov. Mur- , @ his annual message to the ieg- ture, calls attention to the increas- number of advertising signs near way lines and expresses the hope some .means may be devised not to prevent their further increase, to remove those already in exist- The governor says: “On the line of railway between Jersey and Trenton, there are 601 signs. are disfigured by all sorts of of impossible men and women, they advertise remedies for all lls that human flesh is heir to, well as all sorts of foods and @rinks, and the various contrivances time to increase it is not difficult to imagine the day near at hand when the traveler will have the beautiful hills and valleys and trees and flowers shut completely from view, and will pass through a continuous and unbro- e ©«ken lane of sign boards that will trouble his nights and days with sug- gestions of things that are disagree- able.” A JURY TO TRY MACHEN.

California Fisherman Catches Curi- ous Fish Weighing 125 Pounds with Red and Reel. Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of the Catalina Island band, is a most en- thusiastic and picturesque angler. Recently he made the record Jewfish catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- er morning he though he would inscribe the tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after the Diggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken. He had uncorked but a smal! por- . ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz. And then i whizzed. By consummate | Skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from - getting away In the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight fasted. It was a formidable-looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there wae debate, after it was gaffed, as to whether it would bea welcome addition to the crew. Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment. To the casual observer ft was but a moen-fish,a rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought fn by being entangled in the fishermen’s nets. This. however, wer: caught with a hook and rod and reel, something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A elence atthe fish also showed ¢ radical difference between this and the sword-fish.

MOV: Unbonted Govern s ot Clock Carries Money from Washiasion io New York In a Suit Case, Col. Edwards, chief of the division story of a bureau clerk's remarxable wip a few days awo with $3,000,000 of government cash, The clerk is Marion &. Beall, whose home is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York, Under the direction of the insular department the mints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip- pines. To. Mr. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau of printing and engraving turned out $3,000,000 in $1,000 bills. The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. eall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting the treasure. “Eight hundred dollars,” said each of the companies, “That's too much,” said Col. Ed- wards when Beall reported. “What's the matter with you putting the money in a suit cage and taking it up yourself?” “Why, sure, I can take it if you are willing to trust me with it,’ said Beall. The money was put in a suit case and Beall, although not even under bond, carried it from this city to New York, whence it was shipped. NEARLY WEDS BRIDESMAID.

"ho are in the habit daily of setting their watch- les by the famous clock on the bourse were filled with dismay the ther week when the famous timepiece was seen to lose several hours in the course of a day and then stop alto- jgether. For many years the bourse {elock has been considered one of the ‘infallible chronometers of the city. ; Apparently the recent additions and improvements of the old bourse have been too much for its delicate mech- anism.

Jusi like “Dr. Mary,” she is attired in trous- ers and Prince Albert—a costume she has worn since 1881, with the consent of the French government. Like her, she wears her hair short. But there all like- ness ceases. Mme Dieulafoy has nc hankering after women's rights, having all she cares for, and avows she wears men’s clothing purely for convenience. This gentlemanly Frenchwoman is a devoted Wife, presides over a charming home and is so variously aceomplished that she attracts some of the most dis- tinguished Parisians to her salon. Born in Toulouse, she came of the Magre family, which in the sisteeneb century manufactured armor that ri- valed that of Saragossa. Her maternal —great-great-grandmother was an Eng- lishwoman, She was graduated from the convent of the Assumption in Paris and married M. Dieulafoy, a young civil engineer, just entering upon a brilliant career. The honeymoon had not yet waned when she set out with her hus- band for Persia, where he was charged with an archaeological mission by the French government. They made some most interesting researches at Susiane, with great risk to their lives. They dis- covered the sp&lendid palace of Artax- erxes Marmon, from which they sent the celebrated frieze of the archers to th¢ Louvre. It was at this time that Mme. Dicula- foy first donned male attire, for the dou- ble reason that it was much more con- venient for her researches and that her life was intinitely safer.

The play is an enjoyable New England comedy-drama, and for the past nine years has appeared only at regular prices all over the country, Special scenery, the great Saw Mill ecene, the big operatic orchestra and a first-class company are etill carried, and no attempt has been madr to cheayen the attraction on account of playing at popular prices.

Wonders prea Diatingutah Mar- ried from Unmarried Women Here—Ia No Hurry to Wed. “How can married women be distin- guished from single ones in America?” This is the pointed question asked by Hugese LeRoux, a well-known French writer, who has been spending some months in the United States. The Amer- ican girl has astounded and shocked him. She wears such magnificent jewels, he declares, as are only offered toa French oman on her marriage. She gowns self, too, in the heavy velvets and f nly known to women of 40 in France. But, in the third and last proof of the complste rbsence of the jeune fille ele- ment in the American girl which LeRoux cites is her indifference to marriage. Very often she believes in having a good time, he says, and refuses to consider the subject seriously at all. “This,” observed LeRonx, “is not to de wondered at in a country where the mother and father neither advise nor aurry marriage, and where it is not ed from the pulpit on Sunday asa TER THAN OMELET FUNCUS DE British Sctentist Claims Certain Va- riety of *Fassbail" Can Be Eaten with Grext Relish, Dr. M. C. Cooke, who has been lecturing bef the Royai Herticultural society, in Loncon, has ciscovered that “an en- Ws tion can be obtained by a great “fussball,” which is a spe- cies of edible fungus quite unlike the mushroom. Dr. Cooke quoted a high authority for the statement that it hada delicacy of flavor superior to any omelet. The fussball, however, was not to be tackled carelessly, fora clergyman inthe audience said that while being cooked it gave forth most pronounced fumes, so much so that on one occasion three of his servants were asphyxiated by them. Spurious Treasures, At the moment when the authorities of the Louvre are hoping the public is forgetting the sorrowful history of the spurious tiara of Saitaphernes they are now confronted with a statement that the Boscoreale treasure is a forgery. This treasure was discovered in Pompeii in 1895, and presented tothe Louvre. Ed- mund Rothschild Elina, the artist, offers to furnish proof that the treasure was manufactured in Paris and sent to Pom- peil. Crematories Are Increasing.
