moat Clttaeas.
CAMDEN, N. J., Dec. I8.-Unltd
States Senator William J. flewell, who
died at bis borne here yesterday, had
suffered from diabetes, complicated
with stomach and heart trouble, for
over two years, but his condition was
not considered serious until about a
year ago. His constant attention to the
duties devolving upon him in bis offi
cial eajinclty resulted In 1809 In a col
lapse. General William J. Sewell wis born
In Ireland in 1835 and came to this
country In early boyhood. When four
teen years old he entered a commission
house, but soon shipped lu the mer
chant marine service, making two voy
ages to China. He became second mate
of a clipper ship before giving up the
sea and re-engaging in business.
Mr. Sewell went to Chicago, where
he engaged In the banking business,
with but partial success, remaining
there until the .outbreak of the war,
when he again came east. He became
a captain In the Fifth New Jersey regi
ment, which wa being mustered In,
and left for the front. He participated
with conspicuous courage In all the en
gagements in which his regiment took
part, including the battle of Spottsyl
vanla in May, 1S04.
General Sewell was elected to the
United States senate In 1S81, succeed
ing Theodore F. Randolph. He gave
way to a Democrat six years later. In
IS! 13, however, he re-entered the sen
ate, taking the place of John R. Mc
Pherson. At the beginning of the pres
ent year he was ro-elecO'd for a full
term of sis years.

RESCUED BY A BASS.
How Mr. Blogwater Was Towed
Ashore by a Fish.
'Angler Fortunatelr Geta Hold of a
Lively Illaek Baaa Joat When Us
Had toarladed That All
Wat t p with Him.
! "ou may call black bass wormy
nnd say they are not fit for white
nicn to cat," Mr. Uingwnter was say
ing, earnestly, to a Bangtir (Me.)
Times man, "but just the same 1 wunt
you to understand that they are
about the gamiest fish that swims,
and if it hadn't been for one of them
1 should not be here smoking' ciga
rettes to-day. Hereafter I'll stand by
the black bass nnd all their short
comings. It happened this way:
"One afternoon early in the week I
got the craze and drove out to
I'usliaw on a little fishing trip all by
my lonesome. 1 hail Any fish basket
and my tomato can full of worms
and nn old rod which I picked up
somewhere about the house, and I
made up my mind if there was any
fun lo be pot ten out of bass fishing
1 would get it. 1 chartered an old
flat-bottomed punt, the cleanest ono
which I could discover In the vicin
ity, and then I started out. I rowed
like one of the Pennsylvania oarsmen
at Henley until 1 came over nenr the
point of Dollar island, and then I let
down the nnehor and began to fish.
"It was but the work of two or
three minutes to pr my rod togeth
er, bait the hook with a worm and
throw it ovcrlMinrd. After that I
waited. 1 happened to have brought
a little pocket edition of Kipling
with me, nnd for the next ten min
utes 1 wns deep in the story of the
Oudsbys. As 1 was in the midst of
the most exciting part I pot a bite.
"I don't suppose that there is need
to say anything further in thUconnec
tion. I played that bass with the hand
of a master, and some five minutes
later he was flopping and gasping for
breath in the stern sheets. As I took
SEIZED BY A HUGE BASS.
the base toff the hook and flung bim In
the bottom of the boat I made a disa
greeable discovery. My punt was leak
ing badly and there wm already quite
Ihree inches of water in the bottom.
Moreover, it was pouring in with
greater rapid'uty every minute. It was
only a question of time before the
craft would be swamped. As I can't
swim a stroke it didn't strike me thut
the situation was a particularly pleas
amt one.
"I decided to 4oss my ldne in once
more for luck, anyway, and the hook
had no more thun disappeared beneath
the surface when it was (eized by a
huge bass, who started out toward
6hore, pulling like a mogul locomotive.
The water was risingrapidly and I was
getting" desperate, when I happened to
realise that here was my chance. I
quickly made one end of the line fast
to a thwart, and, seizing1 the oars, I
helped my frienl, the bass, with all
the strength that wis in me. At last
we reached the beach and safety.
"The bass who so fortunately took
my bait i.s still swimming about In the
clear, oool depths )f Pushaw. I de
cided that one good turn deserved an
other, and I carefully removed the
hook and tossed him back."
When Mr. Bingwater finished an
awful hush fell upon the party and for
several minutes no one spoke.
"Why didn't you bail the boatcout?"
asked little Freddie finally.

THE COUNTRY PAPER-
Amid the pile of papers,
Thst swamp my desk each dsy,
Aad drive me weak with clipping .
And filing itufl away,
Comes once a week on Thumdny
The quaint old eight-page sheet
That's printed up in i'elhani,
A drowsy county teat.
You see, 'twas up in I'elhnm
That first I taw the light,
And well, my heart grows softer
And I feel my eyes thine bright;
Right reverent my touch is,
It spreads the columns wide,
The local's what I'm seeking
The patcnud inside.
Ah, here it is I "The County,"
And "Jottings," "Local News"
You le.irn whose traded horses
And who have rented pews;
It tells about the school house
Where we used to sit nnd dream,
A-watching dust specks dancing
In the sunlight's shifty beam.
The sturdy names of boyhood
Come tumbling through our thought,
Of Tom and Uiick and I'utscy
Mow we loved nnd how we fought I
The friends when years gnrw graver,
Called no licyornl our ken.
In the type-lines of the paper
They Jive and speak ngi'n.
Oh, toilers in life's workshops,
Are nut iho-e droain niists sweet,
Winch mummy casts alxmt us
When past and present meet ?
And so, I love that piper
V 'mm the village in ihc hills
For the old life that it wakens,
Kor the weariness it siills,

Unole 8am'a Greatest Secret.
Ths Paptr on Which Osr Money Notts srs
Printed it Jealously Guarded Irsm Pulp (
Prett.
If there is any secret which Uncle
Sam jealously guards it is the process
of manufacturing the fibre paper upon
which his money notes are printed.
He pays a Massachusetts firm forty
three cents a pound for it, and this
firm docs its work under the surveill
ance of a Government agent. The
paper is manufactured of the finest
Tag?, cleaned, boiled and mashed into
pulp. As it is rolled into thin sheets
silk threads are introduced into it by
a secret process. These are the dis
tinguishing marks making imitation of
the paper well nigh impossible. The
sheets of paper, already counted twice
and placed in uniform packages at
the paper null, are stored in a Treas
ury vault and issued to the Bureau of
Kngraving and Printing as wanted.
Helbre leaving the Treasury they are
counted three times more, and the
receiving ollkial at the bureau must
receipt for them. Then the bundles
are unwrapped and the sheets are
counted twenty-eight times by a corps
of women. This is to insure that each,
printer gets the recorded number no
more, no less. If one sheet of this
precious paper be lost the entire force
ot men and women having access to
the room where the misplacement has
occurred are kept in, like so many
school-children, to find it. F.acli
sheet is issued from the vault for the
printing of a definite amount of money
upon it. If Ihe lost sheet were in
tended to ultimately represent fouc
thousand dollars' worth of notes the
group of employees to whom the res
ponsibility of its misplacement has
been traced must make good that
amount if they cannot locate it with
in a reasonable time. The most ex
pensive loss which has thus occurred
was of a blank sheet issued for the
printing of eighty dollars upon its
face. John Elkreth Watkins, Jr.,

Farmers and Labor.
Good Wagot in Towns ars Steadily Drawlmj
Men From Rural Work.
Despite the gradual and steadv in
crease of farm wages, the list twelve
months have been marked by a serious
shortage of farm help. From all sec
tions ol the state the complaint is the
same. Various causes have been
assigned for the condition. Among
them is the fact that other branches
of labor require much shorter hours
and pay better wages. Another rea
son assigned is the fact that farm
hands are isolated and cannot meet
together during the evening as can
laborers in other industries.
It has been claimed also that the
character of labor required since agri
cultural implements of all kinds have
been introduced is of a higher grade
and should have better wanes. Some
farmers are looking sideways at the
question ot Chinese exclusion and
wonder if the entrance of this class of
laborers might not solve the difficulty,
wnicn promises to become more seri
ous each year. The claim is made
that at the present price of farm rjro.
ducts it is one of the questions to pay
nigner wages, but the fact seems to
be evident that wages must advance
until more are induced to work unon
farms.
Officials of the state department of
agriculture say the demand for scien
tific farmers in Pennsylvania far ex
ceed tne supply. Lducated farmers,
capable of taking care ot large farms
and estates and conducting them nn
the latest improved methods of farm
ing, command salaries ranging from
9S to 1 25 a month. Harrisburr

or tubes inner so much. It all de
pends upon ciicumstances. If a case
is in the preliminary stage and the
young man is simply reconnoitering,
he should leave before the old folks
go to bed, unless they are of the S
o'clock breed, but if he is a goner,
time doesn't count, and its all right
for him to tarry until the hour the
Turk awoke. A hint from the young
lady herself should always be received
in the spirit in wjiich it is offered, and
if she yawns it is better to find some
excuse for an early departure. Of
course he should be as economical ot
fuel and lights during these protracted
sessions as possible, and he probably
will be, without this suggestion.
