MIE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, 1000. CEAO "JERSEY DEVIL' FOUND WOODS Body of Strange Animal Explains Puzzling Hoofprints Left in the Snow SENT TO THE STATE MUSEUM The Spinal Column Extends Six Inches Behind Junction with Hind Legs, Somewhat Alter the Manner of the Tall of a Kangaroo. Burlington, N. J. If anybody ever doubted that a "Jersey devil" left its strange and puzzling hoofprints in the snow of this and adjoining States last winter, proof was produced here that the scare was never due to high balls. There is on exhibit in this city the carcass of the queerest animal ever seen about hero, a beast not on the schedule of any natural history ever road by any one of this section. Tho animal's body, still In good con dition, as though it had been dead only a short while, wan found by Mor ris Cabinsky of this city, and Charles Malsbury of Klnkora, in tho woods near Klnkora, and was brought to this city, whero hundreds have seen and marvelled. Photographs have been made of tho beast and Prof. Henry Morse, curator of the State Museum, will bo asked to give the animal a name and place it where it belongs if he is able to do so. The boys thought at first they had come upon tho carcass of a big wild cat, but It looked so queer to them that they decided to carry it into town. The body of the animal is about twenty Inches long and thin. The spinal column extends six Inches bo hind the junction with tho hind legs like the tall of a kangaroo, but this again is tipped with nlno inches of tail like a squirrel's, but of reddish brown fur. The strangest feature of all and that which would seem to convict it of last winter's famous hoofprints, is found in the fore legs and feet The legs are fifteen inches long, consisting of four Joints and socketed to these are the feet, which .take the form of a broad, flat bone with a distinct heel. The foot bones are two and a half Inches long and over an Inch broad in a solid piece. If tho animal traveled by leaps bonding tho two fore feet down to gether he would land after each long spring with the feet forming the puz zling effect of the hoofprints in the enow last winter. The rear feet would explain the finding of "cat" prints near the hoof marks. What looks like the framework of a pair of short wings rises from the animal's back, just above its short hind legs. The big mouth is set with sharp teeth three quarters of an inch long, while the head is adorned with long, lance-like ears and whiskers four Inches long. A SOUTH SEA MASSACRE. Natives Attack and Burn Trading Vessel. Victoria, B. C Further details of the massacres in New Britain re ceived by the steamer Marama are to the effect that Captain Lindsay, of the ketch Rabaul, and ten of his crew were murdered and burned. The trad ing vessel was looted and also burned. Captain Lindsay, owner and master of the Rabaul, was off the east coast of New Britain, about two hundred miles from Herbertshone, rocruitlng laborers. About sundown, when he anchored his ship for the night, a swarm of native canoes came off, and the blacks asked that he come ashore, as plenty of men were ready to sign as luborers. Captain Lindsay went on land and was escorted to a big na tive house, where about a hundred blacks were gathered. As he stopped In he was struck down from behind with a spear, and the blacks sprang upon him with knives. Ho fell bleeding from scores of wounds and was hacked to death. Tho body was then dragged out to the beach and burned. Tho flotilla ol canoes then wont off to the Rabaul and blacks swarmed aboard. One after another tho ten men of tho crow were slaughtered. Then, while they lay, some dead, some mortally wound ed, on the deck, a raid was made on the stores and kerosene poured over the deck and in the holds, making the ship a funeral pyre for the murdered men. Ship and victims were com Iiletely destroyed. Pig Grows a Pound a Day. Kennebec, Me. Frank Combs, of West Franklin, has tho prlzo expan sion pig. Tho animal came to Mr. Combs as a suckling at tho ago of thirty days and weighing twenty-six rounds. In two weeks it weighed for-ty-ono pounds, a gain of a pound n day. At tho prevailing price of pork it has been figured out that this ro bust porker will bo worth moro than half a hundred dollars when he is n year old If his ability to assimilate hog fodder does not deteriorate in tho mean time. So Much Easier. A tourist whllo traveling In tho north of Scotland, fur away from any where, exclaimed to one of the na tives, "Why, what do you do whon any of you aro 111?

STEERS SHIPBYSIXTH SENSE Norwegian, Blindfolded, Puzzles &cl entlsts In the Harbor at Copenhagen. Copenhagen, Denmark. Emll Knudson, a Norwegian who says he possesses a sixth sense, blindfolded and under the watch of n dozen scien tists steered a steamer like a Ekllled pilot through tho Intricate lanes of Copenhagen Harbor. Not once did tho vessel deviate from a truo course in tho channels, and In addition Knud sen swung the steamor clear of other craft Knudsen is 3G yoars old. He came here a month ago from Christiana, and at once became an object of in terest to scientists. He was put through many experiments by Profes sor Frledonroich, ono of tho leading nerve specialists In Europe, and as a result the professor suggested the trip in the harbor. Knudsen said he could guide himself anywhere with out using his eyes, aud a steamer was chartered to put him to a supremo test Knudsen had no knowledge of the harbor. Ho requested that a per son knowing the channels should hold two finger tips ngnlnst tho sides of his head. Professor Frledenrelch consented to this, and himself pressed two finger tips against Knudsen's temples. The man handled the wheel without a sign of nervousness or uncertainty. It was impossible for him to see, yet he took more than a dozen sharp cor ners and followed a zigzag course throughout. All the scientists who witnessed the demonstration said that Knudsen possesses n mysterious pow er that actually may be n sixth sense. ooc PARIS SHOW BESIDE NEW YORK. Washington, D. C. Charles K. Magoon, former Provisional Governor of Cuba, who is home from Europe, found Paris dis tressingly tame. "The night life of Paris is that of a remote village com pared with the night life of Now York," said he. "By mid night the Place do L'Opero and Rue de la Pals arc completely deserted and as quiet as a graveyard. Why, the doors of my hotel were closed at 12 o'clock. If you look for the Broadway night to bo eclipsed in Paris you are doomed to great disappointment." Mr. Magoon came away con vinced that tho French, even in Paris, are much more given to the simple life than is general ly supposed. 50OO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOODCOU BOY ATE FROM DOG'8 PAN.

QOCOCOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O What a Salesgirl In a R New York Store Must O and Must not Do. Q She MUST Not Chew gum or powder her nose, Rouge her cheeks, Wear "rats" or "puffs," Wear bright colors or Jewelry, Wear thin waists that show her lingerie, Wear tight fitting dresses that show her figure. She MUST Be neat, Dress well, Wear clean linen, Wear either black or whlto, Arrange her hair prettily. The average salary of a New York salocwoman Is $8 a week. New York, N. Y. The above facta were learned by a little tour of in vestigation prompted by the announce ment that one of Chicago's largest de partment stores has adopted a system of censorship over Its saleswomen. She is an official woman censor, whose duty Is to pass among tho wom en employees in tho emporium, sug gest modifications, and when neees sary to enforce them. Beneath tho more maternally tact ful cognomen of "matron," in the New York department stores all the functions of the Chicago "Sensor" are fulfilled. In practically every depart ment store In New York there is somewhere a kindly faced woman whose duty it Is to curb sartorical high spirits and antics. In one of the city's largest storeB the dress of 260 girls, ranging in age from fifteen years indefinitely up ward, is supervised by a woman of discrimination, who is a trained nurse and student of social problems. In a white pique uniform and with a gen eral air of "mothering," It was plain that tact of this particular "Matron Censor" invariably carried her se curely across the thin ice of pride which often surrounds a girlish heart With a little gesture of despair the uniformed matron proclaimed her chief difficulty in regulating tho dress of the girls In her charge. "It is their hair!" she sighed. "It Is so hard to get a woman to change the manner of dressing her hair, and it is so hard to make these girls un derstand that the hair of a business woman should be neatly and plainly arranged. In all else the girls are easy to lead. "There are so many different ways of making a suggestion. There aro 250 girls here, and I know every one of them personally. I like every one of them, and one does not resent a suggestion from a friend that is ob viously for one's own welfare. "In this store we have throe rules that we enforce particularly. Wo will not permit a girl to chow gum. Thero are signs In all tho departments do voted to employees which read: " 'Employees who find it necessary to chew gum during business hours will kindly seek employment else where.' "Wo Insist that the girls dress their hair simply, and we will not tolerate the use of cosmetics." In another big department store, a keen, quick business woman assists tho man in charge of the department which employs the saleswomen. "The moment I see a girl's natural taste in dress I can tell what sort of a business woman she is going to make," this clothes censor affirmed. "Of course, the girls somotimes make minor mistakes after they get here too much Jewelry, or something of that kind, but usually a hint is suffi cient I speak to them because I think a woman can broach such a sub ject moro tactfully. "These absurdly tight dresses that aro now the fashion have given us some trouble. We cannot have girls behind tho counters in costumes that conspicuously and vulgarly display the lines of the figure. Most of the girls, though, wear aprons, and these do much to counteract the clinging gowns." Practically all tho department stores in this city allow tho saleswom en In their employ to purchase from thom with a discount varying from 6 to IB per cent. Also many of tho stores permit a reasonable purchase, the amount to be subsequently taken In small instalments from the sales woman's salary. Other stores have a mutual loan association, whero a girl in need of a dress or suit may borrow the money to buy it without payment of Interest. Several of tho higher grade stores supply tho saleswomen In tho garraont departments with ono good black dress each year. Few of the saleswomen are married, and the demand among the shops U far Mia woman who llvos at homo.

Mrs. Sanders threw it to the floor nnd, using the broom, drovo the enraged animal out of tho kitchen window. When she hastened back to hor baby Mrs. Sanders observed the in fant's hands were cold.
