"SHOOTING MATCH MARY."

Wears Men’s Clothes and Cun down Anything with l a Gun. “Shooting Match Mary” Is a queer character known to nearly every one in Southern New Jersey. Iler real i name is Mary Judson and she is about 50 years old. Mary’s fame has been gained by her prowess with a shotgun and rifle. She runs a little farm that 1 she inherited from her father and lives alone. Standing six feet In her shoes she can toss a plow around a field as handy as any man. But her passion Is for shooting and whenever she has an oportuulty to take a hand in a match, she Is there. She has been known to drive twenty miles with the mercury lu the vicinity of zero to shoot at a mark with no better prospect of compensation than a turkey. She has never yet been beaten in a match. Two years ago Orrin Wakeman, a farmer in Deerfield township, conceived the idea of having a Thanksgiving shooting match in which the contestants should shoot with rifles at the head of a tqrkey whos£ neck was held in a hole through the bottom of a barrel sawed to such a height that the fowl could stand on the ground while imprisoned. Wakeman thought that by doing this he would lose fewer turkeys, and make more money. He put the price of the shots down so low that everybody thought he could afford to try bls hand several times if he did fall at first. The scheme was a new one in the history of Cumberland county shooting matches, and the attendance was large. Mary was present and she brought with her a smooth-bore firearm of rather ancient make. When the hour came for the shooting to begin, every man agreed that Mary should have the first shot, since courtesy entitled her to It. “Supposing J hit that one, d</l keep on shooting till I miss?” said the woman, as she made ready to draw a bead on the head. “Certainly,” , replied Wakeman, laughing, “you can have my whole flock If you’ll get them that way.” Mary got the turkey’s head under the sight of the rifle and pulled the trigger. It was a 20-yard shot and a bard one to make,, but the ball went plumb through the gobbler's head. Another turkey was placed In the barrel s and Mary sent a bullet through it. When the woman had made twelve shots and scored every time the boys in the crowd set out to hoot and do all they could to disconcert her, but Mary kept right on pegging away and didn't miss a shot until she had won twentyfour turkeys, when Wakeman announced that his supply was exhausted. He had received $2.40 for the whole flock and he was disgusted.

SPAIN’S HELLISH TORTURE.

Skinned Men Alive to Make Execution Drama, The methods by which Spain conducts “warfare” In Cuba and the Philippine Islands are more or less familiar to Globe readers, owing to the accounts so often appearing In this paper; and we now give an account, taken from Motley’s Rise of the Dutch Republic, of her manner of conducting war In the Netherlands 300 years ago. It will be seen at a glance that much of her barbarism and Inhuman cruelty still remain with her. Says Motley; “No mode In which human beings have ever caused their fel- ' low creatures to suffer was omitted t from dally practice. Men, women and children, old and young, nobles and 1; paupers, opulent burghers, hospital pa ; tlents. lunatics, dead bodies, all were Indiscriminately made to furnish food for the scaffold and the stake. Men were tortured, beheaded, hanged by the neck and by the legs, burned before slow tires, pinched to death with redbot tongs, broken upon the wheel, starved and flayed alive. Their skins, stripped from the living body, were stretched upon drums to be beaten in the march of their brethren to the gallows. The additional barbarities committed during the sack and ruin of those blazing and starving cities are almost beyond belief, and whole populations were burn ed and hacked to pieces by soldiers in every mode which cruelty in Its wanton ingenuity could devise. Such was the administration of which Vargas (a no ble Spaniard in high authority) affirm ed that too much mercy had been Its ruin.”

Left $100,000 to His Ex-Slave.

James Wesley Dorsey, a colored man, who up to a short time ago lived In Springfield, 0., but whose whereabouts are how unknown, Is in luck to an ex tent seldom experienced by one of his race. A lawyer Is now looking him up to tell him that he has fallen heir to the sum of SIOO,OOO, left to him by Peter Sliaffer. During the early days of his life Dorsey and his mother were slaves to Mr. Shaffer, who was a Mary land planter. Mr. Shaffer recently died, rich and childless, and afcan advanced age. He showed that he had not forgotten his old servant, for, by his will, he bequeathed nearly the whole of Ids property to him.

It is a fact that In India butter made from the thin milk of the native cow is blue, Instead of yellow. “When I’ came across this azure substance,” says a travelled lady, “I vowed I would not touch It; but others did, with evident enjoyment; and curiosity getting the upper band, I tried the butter, and, to my surprise, found It delicious. You '•ho have been used to the golden fresh butter of England can hardly realize what it is to see bread apparently painted blue.” This Is what hope does for mankind: no man ever found happiness, but every man expects to.

lu a carefully compiled estimate, under the heading ‘‘Astonishing Figures,” the Evansville Courier forces to the surface some startling facts concerning the recent election returns. For instance that Chicago cast abou' 30,000 more votes than were cast by the city of Nork, though the vote i'- New York whs much larger than at any pie« vious election, and in Philadelphia the vote was increase d about 66,000 over the vote of any previous election. The Courier declares that: Not even the most sanguine Chicagoan wil 1 seriously claim that there are legitimately more votes in his city than in New York and even if he should there <*ra no offcial figures by which the claim could be substantiated,Neither will any one pretend that that the growth of Philadelphia during the Irst four years has been such as tr acc unt sot such n inoraase in its vote The cu ternary wav ot estimating the vote of any : city or state is to place it at one ' fifth ot the population. Atone vote for evt ry five inhabitants the incnase.in the vote of Philadeie phia would thow an incaease of 33C,000 in the population during the 1 last four years, which would be considerably more than twentyfive. percent But the moot significant figures are those shown by the state ot < Ohio whicn gave Bryan 4ff5,000' votes which is 70,000 more than it gava Cleveland in ’92 ann is the ! largest vote ever befofe given a presidential candidate by that state, democratic or republican. 1 It is 170,000 more than Campbell , received for governor last year and 48,000 more than Bushnell received, who was fleeted. Yet McKinley received 50.000 more votes tLan Bryan. This shows an

esormaus mcretse and] puts the total vote of Ohio up to about 1,100,500. This’ is about 260,000 more votes than were cast at the state election one year before, which would indicate an increase of over 1,000,000 in Ohio's Dopulatlffin in the twelve months immediately preceding the 3d of November, and it will be remembered that the wnole country wai surprised at what was then considered the phenomenally large vote of ’95 The Courier’s conclusion is that‘‘lt is n t agretable to think and yet it is impossible to avoid the conviction that£a largo proportion of the votes m the large cities named as well as in the stat? of Ohio were fraudulent, and if this conclusion is correct it follows' naturally that the frauds were committed on tho side which had the money. Every bod j kn’ows which side that was.”

Healy’s Christmas shoes are the great attraction. It is more than likely that the g. o. p. will be very sick of the single gold standard before the close of McKinley’s administration.—* The single gold standard may do for a creditor nation like old England but for a debtor nation it means absolute ruin to the producing classes. A low estimate makes the indebtedness of the United States 20 billions. Every dollar of this vast debt must be paid from the products of the soil, The aearer money can be made the more products required to pav the debt. ksProf. Itidpnth shows, "It will take mere products to pay the national debt after it lias been deduced two-thirds than it would at the close of the war to have paid the whole debt. In other words, the people have paid two-thirds of the national < ebt, but measured by the value of products, it will require F.s much to pay wbat is left as under better prices it would have taken to pay the whole."

Mrs. N. Towers offers her fourroom cottage, on Cherry street, for sale. According to the N. Y. Worid the McKinley programme is to impose more burdens on the poor and further exempt wealth from a just share of government taxation. “It is proposed," save ths World, "t-> re tore the barbarous and cruel tax on wool, to increase the taxes on wo dens, to raise the rates on crockery and glass, to reimpose duties on lumber, eggs, potatoes, onions, cabbages and hay, but to continue the exemption of wealth in every form. “In 1866 the internal taxas collected on manufactures aside from whiskey, beer and tobacco, aggregated $122,000,000. They werejall repealed. “Other taxes collected from wealth in that vear w»re: From incomes, $61,071,932; from banks, railroad companies, etc., $13,279," 142; licenses, $18,038,097; gross receipts—from 2| to 3 per cent—of publishers, telegraph and insurance companies, steamboats, ferries, stagecoaches, theaters,operas circuses and m aseu ms, $10,092,707; legacies and successions, $1,170,S7B: Rtamt», $15,044,373. All t’*ose, one after another, were abolished at the instigation of wealth’s lobby. “There were other smoll taxes, like those on salaries of pnblic officials, on passports, etc., the proceeds of which bring he total of internal taxes repealed immediately after the war up to $240,000,000 ‘This exemption of wealth left the whole Hirden or the oost of government upon consumption mainly of the common necessaries of the people. And this is where the party bossed by Mark Hanna, with McKinley a« its fig-ure-head, deliberately proposes to leave the harden.”
