What la society doing f Well, Its not dKBcult to "tell of acme things that are getting a grip on Hs Bffrclioos. One of them ia a story that sounds strange, but It Is true nevertheless. Only a few evenings ago we heard a fashionable young lady excuse herself when asked to dance because of her desire to finish a new story. She aat where the electric llefit ahed a mellow radiance oyer the absorbing page and read until the dance was oyer.

Early Wednesday morning the dead ' body of Miss Sadie Nichols ~ was fount, on Hie beach off Cape May Point. Mi*a j Nichols had been stopping at Ute Cape House for ail weeks with brr maid. A couple of days ago she discharged her. The la«t seen of the unfortunate lady wa* on Tuesday night, at ah tut 11.80 p. m-, when Mlsa Reed, the housekeeper ' at the Cape (louse, gave her some medicine. Aflen this she must have-gone to the strand and, after attaching to her pereon a peck rand, done up In hrr shawl, walked deliberately Into the aea .ml peri hed. There are several rumors about giving a cause for this act of aeif destruction. It seems very evident thfil Mine Nichols' reason had been dethroned for the time, and while in stele ahe did the deed that inded ber life. Coroner Ware held an inquest on the body. The verdict was suicide by d rowing while suffering from temporary aberration of mind. Miss Nichols was Sturgeon Bar. Wisconsin. Little known of her, as the letters written her death— and not sent— were .rn to shreds. Information ha* been sent to her home oTher sad death. Seldom are we called upon to record the death of one more genera'ly known and universally esteemed than was the Rev. Parsons Tovrnsend, of liower Township. He passed away from hip earthly home on Saturday last, at 2 o'clock P. M., after an Illness of nine hi the 79th year of his age. He had been a member of the M. E. Church over sixty years, and a local preacher about fifty-eight years. Buefa was the self-denial and faithfulness of. his religious lire tint very few, if any. ever called in question his sincerity and integ.lty. Long will Ms memory be cherished, and we hope his example emulated. Tbe funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, at the Tabernacle M. E. Church, Cold Spring. The large number of people was an evidence of the high esteem ln which thi* remarkable Father in Israel was held by the entire community in which he passed his quiet v but useful life. quid, uui usciux me. j
