Under the belief that the was being pursued by enemies, Charles Henry Weatherby. j8 years, of Camden, coinmitted suicide by hanging himself with one leg of his undergarment to a gas pipe in the rear of his cellar. Weatherby. who was a painter, lived with his wjfc and three children. Recently he had suffered from dementia. On Saturday night he alarmed his wife by announcing that he had taken laudanum to end hi* troubles, but later recovered from the effects of the drug. When his wife tpwokc Sunday morning she found that he was not in bed. After a search she discovered the dead body of her husband hanging to the gas jet in the cellar. On the panels of the door leading into the rear of the cellar Weatherby had written several sentences with chalk in which he said that he found that he was unable to escape from his foes and had decided

to end his life.

Charles Cameron, the i6-year-old son of a rich farmer o{ Richfield, was saved from drowning by a mule. With others the lad was bathing in the canal, and when his companions left he remained in the water alone and was soiled with cramps.

When he felt it grow taut he ^started across a field and pulled Cameron out of the water. The lad soon recovered, while Mike cavorted

around with evident delight.

Upwards, of 200 people in Trenton have been converted by a wandering evangelist to the belief that Saturday is the Sabbath day and the day of the week for rcil and worship. The converts have come from the various churches in the vicinity and the resident pastors are endeavoring to devise some means of checking the inroads. A month ago Edward Franke. an evangelist. erected a large tent in Trenton •nd began preaching sermons which attracted larpe audiences. The Ministerial Union's opposition to the evangelist only tempted those who had not heard him to make a visit tp the tent. During the past week about 200 people have publicly announced that they would observe Saturday as the Sabbath. no matter what would follow such declaration. Some few have already

lost their positions.

A BUTTONHOLE CASE.

button was made for the biittonaole or the buttonhole for the button. Counsel for the button held that it was no plain aa to render argument lupcrfluiius that the buttonhole was made for the use and behoof of the mutton; still, for form's sake, be would (Ire a few reasons why his contention was the correct one. It was apparent, Ye said, that without the buttonhole Ibe button would be unable to perform Ita function, and hence It was )laln that the button preceded the buttonhole, and that the latter was Invented In order that the button might be of service to mankind. It should be clear to everybody that had It not been for the button the buttonhole never would have been thought of. Ita existence necessarily presupposed the existence of the button. The lawyer for the other side was equally positive In the stand be bad been employed to take. He averred that the buttonhole preceded the button; that. In fact, the button was merely an afterthought. He said that, as every one knew, the buttonhole can be employed without the button, as witness Farmer Jonea, who Invariably uses a nail or sliver of wood Instead of the conventional button, whereas It was impossible to make an effective use of the button without the aid and assistance of the buttonhole. Hence It was shoa'n beyond peradventure that the buttonhole was of greater Importance than the button, and it waa natural to Infer tbat the buttonhole was first Invented and that the button »me later simply as an ornament or, at beat, aa an Improvement upon the nail, sliver or other ini-nimentallty wherewith the buttonhole was made to perform its duty. To show the relative value of the buttonhole and .the button, be said, take this simple example: When a button comes off the buttonhole can still be mad? serviceable, but If the buttonhole la silt open the button Is of no use whatever. With ILU the learned counsel closed his case, although be claimed tbat be bad not exhausted the subject. When the court came In after recess is learned judge promptly decided le case In favor of the buttohhole— clearly a Jurt decision, although it waa whispered* about the court room that the decision but for the fai his linen between adjournment and reassembling of tbe court his honor bad bis collar button and bunted for It without success for half an hour.
