Mayor TenBroeck Favors Opposition Gas, Electric Light and Telephone Com- panies and So' Does the Board. Working to Make Asbury Park a Winter Resort. “They’re a gang of robbers 1Mayor TenBroeck .was red hot for fight Tuesday afternoon at the monthly mee% ing of tbe Board of Trade. He gave vent to his animus against the gas, electric light and t&eph'one companies In language emphatic enough to leaVe no doubt as to his views regarding municipal ‘‘pulls," Hia characterization Of the gas company given above Is based on experience, he saya. He wanted it distinctly understood that he favored do monopolies In this city.' He asserted that he bad fonght the gas people’s franchise for 10 or 15 yetjrs with no result, because the council had never backed him up. Now he hopes to effect a reform by the assistance of the' Board of Trade. As preliminary to this step, he intr» duced a motion to the effect that the Board of Trade recommend to coqucI lthat It entertain propositions for competition In ’ gas, electric lighting and telephone service. And the board adopted the mo- tldb. “Tbe cost of gas at $1.50 a thousand ffeet Is greater now than it was when the rate was 13 a thousand,’’ said the mayor. “They put a high pressure on the gas now and e pay for what we don’t ..get. What V needed Is competition. Our people don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for gas, and^ the like. Council should help them out Where the justice in letting a few men in combination enjoy absolute privileges when other® are willing to come in a give the people the benefit of their competition. You get a competing gas company here and you’ll soon get dolla/gas. ......*! ' : ~ ' T .“Tho people complain... about heavy taxes. It's not heavy taxes that the pad. pie feel.

This attack followed William J. Coop- er’s talk on the cost of lighting the Em- pire amusejnent company’s building by the electric lighting plant installed there- in. Whether It was suggested by that or not was not said. Perhaps tbe mayor came loaded with his “hot shot." MRS.

Monday’s High Wind Kicked Up a High Sea, but the Beach Not Damaged Seriously—Effects of the Deluqe m i. Hurricane Here and ' • Across the Lake. Old Boreas cracked his cheeks Monday afternoon and ; night. The stoms in- creased gradually from soon until midnight, when fury raged majestically. The ocean was a seething cauldroq. Bern rose to great heigbt and rushed madly in iipon the shore. The foam created waves presented a weird picture in the dull, misty light of arc lamps.

When'TBe rain and the fine sand would strike one in the face there was a smarting' sensation that one .will not forget wljo experienced It. The boardwalk this morning presented » picturesque sight as a resalt of this sand fly- ing. Looking up or down the walk, one might readily imagine that mow bad been falling. Very little damage was done along tbe shore despite the gale’s power. The bath houses were safely anchored and the board- walk stuck to its owner. The electric lights fared badly. Along the boardwalk, from Fifth avenue to the northern end,arc lamp® were extinguished after 11 o’clock. T1 wires were broken on a lamp in the rear of the Seventh avenue group of bath houses. The “ live” ends hung down all night and while the current was ou spluttered and hissed as the wind swung them to And fro against one another. The lamp was dam- aged and the globe broken.

I t merely supported a guy ■wire and caused very little damage. The telephone and telegraph wires were in trouble all night, and Tuesday morning inconveniences had to be endured on that ac- count. In the Postal Telegraph office Harry Gibson, an operator, was severely shocked-Monday nigh twhile-makinga-con - nection on the switchboard. H e waa hurled to the floor by the powerful electric current, Tuesday morning Manager Wilkins of the game office was severely burned on' the index finger of his right hand while also attempt- ing to make a connection. An electric wire is crossed with a telegraph wire st some point along the line and that was respon- sible for these troubles. The storm played havoc with the trees and fences. In Liberty Square the trees are almost stripped of their foliage. The ground is covered with branches, stems and twigs. A tree at the corner of Heck street and Lake avenue was. uprooted, and one-in the lot nearby inclines toward an angle of 45 degrees. The great locust tree that Eos stood on the White homestead property in West Fifth avenup for forty-five years swayed dangerously in the height of the storm. The White family were in fear lest the tree should fall and' crash through the roof. Ed. White, who w one of the life guards along the teach, prevented a threat- ening catastrophe by securing the'Wd land- landmark with rope. Tbe wood fence that surrounds Jhe horse shed j in'Educational Hall park was blown over, as was a fence that adjoins George B. Vunck’s pool rooms in rinj * avenue. It is a remarkable fact that thW tests ou Wesley, lake sustained very little damage. Here .and there an awning was torn, but the damage was trilling. Of all the tents be- longing to tbe Ocean Grove Association only two sustained damage worthy of mention. One was at 2 Bethany block, Ocean Path- way. The fly of this tent was torn. Another was at 6 Mt. Zion way. This was damaged like the former. The occupant# were p o k - ing up to leave. Cbokmac .venue at the intersection of Kingsley street and Asbury avenue was con- verted into a lake by the waters which.co&- gested at that point, Atlantic square. on Sixth avenae wss also flooded, CdlemanV drug-Btore at Fourth avenue an4 Kingsley street was stripped of its aigns.s Several gas lamps in the ice cream piazza were damaged beyond repair. A dwelling house in' course of construction at Bradley Park was blown down. The house- belongs to Joseph Layton and is Io- eated is Seventh avenue near Ridge avenue. The work on the building had progressed as far as weather-boarding the skeleton frame. The wind twisted the structure and forced in one of the walls,.doing damage to the foun- dations well as the framework.

It is true that there are (lass in the party over nominations for (^.especially in ;Essex, Union and Som- 1counties,and these might prove serious ) the Democrats in a conditien to take tntage of them. With a campaign con- i with old time seal and sggrefeivV I by the Democrats, severe,! senatorial i could be wrested from the Republicans ge next eleMion, An earnest and well- l-Sght by the Democrats would un- lionablv make the result in Monmouth, and perhaps woulfl take them out of the" Ke- publicsnrcolumn. There are seven Republican and six Democratic hold over senators. To secure a majority in the next senate the Democrats must carry five counties where senators are to be elected. They are reasonably cirtaio of holditig Warren, and their prospects "Should be* bright"in-'Salem,- Somerset-• ond- Monmouth. They have not much hope at all for a victory in either Camden,' Union or Essex.' "With o united party they might capture Gloucester. The Republicans' feel that they have good ground to £laim ail the counties,with the possible exception of War- ren, and there they say they have not given up all hope, even if Johnson Cornish is tbe slated candidate on the other side. The friends of Senator Francis in Mon- mouth feel very indignant at the report which they say was started by enemies in his own party that he would not receive a renominaiion. They insist that there is no foundation at all for the report, and that there is no doubt-whatever as to his renora- ination, and very little if any #s to his re- election. Lysander E. Watson, who wields gteat influence as &Republican politician in Monmouth, feels very omfident that the seaator will be given another term as sen- ator from that county. The senator is in tta 'm idst of a hustling campaign, and scarcely a day passe--: that he Is not inter- viewing his constituents in the various towns and townships. The support given the senator by the friends-of General Sewell of course is a tower of strength to him. Earnest efforts are being made by Democrats to induce Henry S. Terbune to become a candidate against Mr. Francis. Should Mr. Terhune consent then a rouBing old cam- paign may be expected. Monmouth is nor- mally a Democratic county. It used to be m certainly Democratic sib either. Hudsoss or HnnWdon. Dissensions in the p^rlprled to Republican success for several years, and^be independent attitude assumed by form Senator Blodgett frequently divided "the Democratic ' ote.

Names of Some of the Principal Brands - Sold In this Vicinity. The recent discussion in tins papers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that isve beer, published from noted scientists to the effect that such powders jcender the food unwholesome, have caused numerous inquiries for the names- of the various alum powders. In this State, Massachusetts ou many other states, of such, importance do the food authorities deem the matter, that the rmmss of alum powders are officially, made public, and in two states at least the law provides that there shall be printed upon the labels of all packages of this class of powders the statement that they contain alum. -■ Information es to the list here given ktv„ been obtained from the official report ofthe New Jersey Food Commission, from„the Ag- ricultural Department chemist at Washing- ton, and from other equally reliable authori- ty; Baking powders containing alum:1 Davis’ O. K. contains alum, R, B. Davis & Co., New York; Washington contains slum, Washington Baking Powder Co.; Gem con- tains alum, A- J. Howell,- New York; I. C. 'contains alum, Jaques Mfg. Co., New Yofk; Jersey. Bell.contains^alum,tbe Ford & Grav- eling Co., Jersey City; Grand Union con- tains slum, Grand Onion Tar Company, NewYijk. In' aMUion to these, it' is learned that many grocers are selling what they call tbelr own private or special brands. Tbese powders are put up for the grocer, and bis name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders in New York, Philadel- phia and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods irs this way greatly sided bytheam - bition of the groce? to sell a powder with his own name upon the label, especially as he can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtlesa, do not know that the powders they are thus. pushing contain alum and would be actually contraband in many sections if sold without disguise. It is'quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in under all kinds of cog- nomens, and at al? kinds - low as five and ten cents a pounti. They can be avoided, however, by the house- keeper who will bear in mind that all bak- ing powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as nrVcream of tartar powder cannot be pro- duced at anything like this price. ACTIVE CITIZENS TO BOOM AS8UKY PARK. ' * - , - The Board Will Endeavor to [Bring About Better Railroad Train Service, t and Will Take the Empire Bathe . . Under Wings Until Summer Returns. William J. Cooper of the Empire Amuse- ment Company, attended Tuesday’* meet- ing of the Asbary Park Board of Trade. Mr. Cooper was’ present by Invitation. He came to ask encouragement and M itt- once by endorsement of the Empire pool and baths on tbe part of tbe Board of Trade. He represented the Empire Amusement Company. The board voted a resolution to endorse the plan suggested by Mr. Cooper, which was that the pool and baths would be kept open all winter providing 200 tickets can be sold at flO each, these tickets to bo good until May 1, the holders to be entitled to everything that the Empire Amusement Company provides jn the way of public privilege#, and, In a sense, to have a voice in the con- ducting of the company’s affairs. It was, thought, Mr. Cooper said, that the pool and baths could be maintained without loss at the price mentioned for each mem- bership ticket. It 1 b proposed by the amusement company to Introduce attrao tlons In tbe way of theatrical perform- ances of some kind, onae or twice a week. These could take place in the room facing the ocean on the second floor of the build- ing.' He was willing to erect a glass frame on the balcony on tbe Cookman avenue side, that a-comfortable sun parlor maf ba added for those who desire such a thing without having to go to the beadh' for It / Comfort and pleasure to patrons and a step In the, direction of- a genuine _ winter resort were assured. The speaker said tbe Empire Amusement Company was In a position to help tbe Board of Trade. Mr. Cooper’s : arguments brought.about a discussion concerning real estate.. It ap- peared to be a common oplnlon-that .tSe/ real estate should be made imore muneratlve.

A committee will be appointed to work in the Interest of Asbury Park iu the effort to make a winter resort out of the city. This would eventually double revenues in rentals,— _ Vice President Henry Stelnbach re- ported the result of the conference held by members of the board with Rufus Blodgett, superintendent of the New York & Long Branch Railroad Company. This has been published in detail In the Jour- nal. Mayor TenBrbck expressed himself as certain that F. L. Shepard, general superintendent of the United Railways of New Jersey Division, would favor the appeal of the board for improved train service. He also believed that Mr. Shepard will Improve the ground controlled by the railroad at this point. Mr. Stelnbach said a petition is now circulating that will be sent to the railroad officials. The mayor, In speaking further about Che railroad business, said the prospect 3s that the time between here and Philadel- phia will be cut down to two hours. It ia now two hours and twelve minutes. Before adjournment Mr. Stelnbach re- ferred to’hls. occupancy of the presiding officer’s chair, on account of President Bird’s death, -which occurred early In the summer, and asked that he ba assisted in his labors by lively tptorest In the board’s work and a full and regular attendance at the meetings to be held.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP ' . OF FRANCHISES.

BOARD OF TRADE AGAINST MONOPOLIES.

Mayor TenBroeck Favors Opposition Gas, Electric Light and Telephone Com­

panies and So' Does the Board.Working to Make Asbury Park

a Winter Resort.“They’re a gang of robbers 1”Mayor TenBroeck .was red hot for fight

Tuesday afternoon at the monthly mee% ing of tbe Board of Trade. H e gave vent to his animus against the gas, electric ligh t and t&eph'one companies In language emphatic enough to leaVe no doubt as to his views regarding municipal ‘‘pulls,"

Hia characterization Of the gas company given above Is based on experience, he saya. H e wanted it distinctly understood that he favored do monopolies In this c ity .' H e asserted that he bad fonght the gas people’s franchise for 10 or 15 yetjrs w ith no result, because the council had never backed him up. Now he hopes to effect a reform by the assistance of the' Board of Trade.

As prelim inary to th is step, h e in tr» duced a motion to the effect that the Board of Trade recommend to coqucI lthat It entertain propositions for competition In ’ gas, electric lighting and telephone service. And the board adopted the mo- tldb.

“Tbe cost of gas at $1.50 a thousand ffeet Is greater now than it was when the rate was 13 a thousand,’’ said the mayor. “They p u t a high pressure on the gas now and

e pay for what we don’t ..get. W hat V needed Is competition. Our people

don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for gas, and^ the like. Council should help them o u t W here the justice in letting a few men in combination enjoy absolute privileges when other® are w illing to come in a give the people the benefit of their competition. You get a competing gas company here and you’ll soon getdo lla/gas. ......*! ' : ~ ' ■ T

. “Tho people complain... about heavy taxes. I t 's not heavy taxes th a t the pad. pie feel. The taxes are small, but She ex­penses to be borne In the day.’s course are high, and there's no reason why theyn 0 n c M S* “Let competition enter and the people will save $15,000 a year without tbe least stinting." '

The telephone and electric ligh t com. panles were also touched upon In the course of the mayor’s remarks. H e claimed that there are those ready to en­ter Ini and glve the people the benefit of

"good- a n d ' cheaper -eervlce. —The-xates. would be cu t In half, he thought, by such additions and the franchise! would be of value In other respects.

This attack followed W illiam J . Coop- er’s talk on the cost of lighting the Em- pire amusejnent company’s building by the electric lighting plant installed there­in. W hether It was suggested by that or not was not said. Perhaps tbe mayor came loaded with his “hot shot."

Old Boreas cracked his cheeks Monday afternoon and ; night. T he stoms in­creased gradually from soon until midnight, when fury raged majestically. The ocean was a seething cauldroq.

The sand on the beach was whirled about, in the air in blinding sheets. When'TBe rain and the fine sand would strike one in the face there was a smarting' sensation that one .w ill not forget wljo experienced It. The boardwalk this morning presented » picturesque sight as a resalt of this sand fly­ing. Looking up or down the walk, one might readily imagine that mow bad been falling.

Very little damage was done along tbe shore despite the gale’s power. The bath houses were safely anchored and the board­walk stuck to its owner. The electric lights fared badly. Along the boardwalk, from Fifth avenue to the northern end,arc lamp® were extinguished after 11 o’clock. T1 wires were broken on a lamp in the rear of the Seventh avenue group of bath houses. The “ live” ends hung down all night and while the current was ou spluttered and hissed as the wind swung them to And fro against one another. The lamp was dam­aged and the globe broken.

The telephone and telegraph wires were in trouble all night, and Tuesday morning inconveniences had to be endured on that ac­count.

An electric wire is crossed with a telegraph wire s t some point along the line and th a t was respon­sible for these troubles.

The storm played havoc with the trees and fences. In Liberty Square the trees are almost stripped of their foliage. The ground is covered with branches, stems and twigs. A tree at the corner of Heck street and Lake avenue was. uprooted, and one-in the lot nearby inclines toward an angle of 45 degrees. The great locust tree that Eos stood on the W hite homestead property in West F ifth avenup for forty-five years swayed dangerously in the height of the storm. The W hite family were in fear lest the tree should fall and' crash through the roof. Ed.

l-Sght by the Democrats would un- lionablv make the result in Monmouth,

and perhaps woulfl take them out of the" Ke- publicsnrcolumn.

There are seven Republican and six Democratic hold over senators. To secure a majority in the next senate the Democrats must carry five counties where senators are to be elected. They are reasonably cirtaio of holditig Warren, and their prospects "Should be* bright"in-'Salem,- Somerset-• ond- Monmouth. They have not much hope at all for a victory in either Camden,' Union or Essex.' "With o united party they might capture Gloucester. The Republicans' feel that they have good ground to £laim ail the counties,with the possible exception of War­ren, and there they say they have not given up all hope, even if Johnson Cornish is tbe slated candidate on the other side.

The friends of Senator Francis in Mon­mouth feel very indignant at the report which they say was started by enemies in his own party that he would not receive a renominaiion. They insist that there is no foundation at all for the report, and that there is no doubt-whatever as to his renora- ination, and very little if any #s to his re- election. Lysander E. Watson, who wields gteat influence as & Republican politician in Monmouth, feels very omfident that the seaator will be given another term as sen­ator from that county. The senator is in t t a 'm id st of a hustling campaign, and scarcely a day passe--: that he Is no t inter- viewing his constituents in the various towns and townships. The support given the senator by the friends-of General Sewell of course is a tower of strength to him. Earnest efforts are being made by Democrats to induce Henry S.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.

Names o f Some o f the Principal Brands - Sold In th is Vicinity.

The recent discussion in tins papers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that isv e beer, published from noted scientists to the effect that such powders jcender the food unwholesome, have caused numerous inquiries for the names- of the various alum powders.

In this State, Massachusetts ou many other states, of such, importance do the food authorities deem the matter, that the rmmss of alum powders are officially, made public, and in two states a t least the law provides that there shall be printed upon the labels of all packages of this class of powders the statement that they contain alum. -■

Information es to the list here given ktv„ been obtained from the official report ofthe New Jersey Food Commission, from„the Ag­ricultural Department chemist at Washing­ton, and from other equally reliable authori- ty;

Baking powders containing alum: 1 Davis’ O. K. contains alum, R, B. Davis & Co., New York; Washington contains slum, Washington Baking Powder Co.; Gem con­tains alum, A- J . Howell,- New York; I . C. 'contains alum, Jaques Mfg. Co., New Yofk; Jersey. Bell.contains^alum,tbe Ford & Grav­eling Co., Jersey City; Grand Union con­tains slum, Grand Onion T ar Company,NewYijk.

In' aMUion to these, it ' is learned that many grocers are selling what they call tbelr own private or special brands. Tbese powders are put up for the grocer, and bis name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders in New York, Philadel­phia and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods irs this way greatly sided b y th eam - bition of the groce? to sell a powder with his own name upon the label, especially as he can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtlesa, do not know that the powders they are th u s . pushing contain alum and would be actually contraband in many sections if sold without disguise.

I t is'quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in

under all kinds of cog­nomens, and at al? kinds - low as five and ten cents a pounti. They can be avoided, however, by the house­keeper who will bear in mind that all bak­ing powders sold a t twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as

nrVcream of tartar powder cannot be pro­duced at anything like this price.

BLODGETT FAVORS BETTER TRAIN SERVICE

Tho Asbury Park and Ocean Grove Boards v of Trade Putting Up a United Fight

for Additional Trains to and From New York.

Prospects are bright to-day for an im­proved winter train service. In addition tb the retention of a fast morning train to New York and the theatre train from New York, Asbury Park may also secure a “flyer.'

The - much-desired conference between members of the, Asbury Park Board of Trade and Rufus Blodgett, 'superintendent of the New York & Long Branch Railroad Company, stationed at Long Branch,: has been held.

Henry Steinbach, Clarence S. Steiner, George W. Treat and J . Lyle Ivinmonth, members of the railroad committee of the Board of Trade, were in conference with Mr. Blodgett last Friday. At the station in Long Branch the committeemen were met by W.H. Beegle, Postmaster William Hamilton,

f N. H. Kilmer and Harold B. Ayres, mem* bers of the Ocean Grove Board of Trade. sMr. Blodgett received the gentlemen in a

weiy cordial manner., Henry Steinbach acted as spokesman. The conditions which confronted the citizens of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove were rehearsed to Mr. Blod­gett and his interest and co-operation

„ solicited.The superintendent said he recognized

ih e fact that Asbury Park has not beeri re- ■cemng fche service which he thought is due the city. This statement was made when Mr. Stein bach gracefully alluded to the great patronage enjoyed by the * railroad in the summer time and the justice of the plea he waB making for a few favors in return in the other seasons. Mr. Blodgett’s reply was “.Yes, you’re entitled to it.” *

The discussion related particularly to the 8.20 a. m. train over the Pennsylvania road from Asbury Park to New York and the midnight theatre train from New York to Asbury Park. A strong plea was made for -the retention of these trains. Mr. Blodgett- said be would do all in his power to grant their retention and thought they would be re­tained . He suggested that a petition be sentF . L, Shepard, general superintendent of the United Railroads of New Jersey Divis­ion, stating the case and bearing the signa­tures of the business men and others. This ■will be none early next -week. t

Mr. Blodgett said he has been trying for years to secure a “flyer” for Asbury. Park, fcut has not succeeded. H e said: I “As soon as business will warrarty it, that is, when the hotel wen secure winter and spring business ftO <?mcourage the train, a flyer may be /given to Asbury Park and Ocean Grove that

—rshall leave fortNew--York at an Jliour_that_. will enable llusiness men to be' at their la­bors about 9 or 9.30 in the morning, and re­turn to Asbury Park' in the evening a t a

treasonable hour.”This “flyer” may proven a, more tangible

//th in g 'th an one will at first tlvough^suppose *jU4oU>e. Dr. Joseph H. Bryan, who hoa Vfege interests at Avon'and is confident that the improvements now going on at that place will prove an additional argument for the “flyer,” says, a number of gentlemen Zha«r<e signified their intention to make up ;8ny ipecuniarv losses that may be sustained iby the running of that train.

The fast train that Mr. Blodgett referred - f o w l i m a welcome additiotrtD- the-service,'

as Mr. Steinbacli pointed out in referring^0” the disagreeable change now made at Red iBank by passengers who leave New York on the Lakewood express. At Red Bank pas* sengers are transferred to the way train that leaves .New York at 4.15 o’clock in the after­noon. I f the " flyer” is not secured it is de­sired that this change of cars be- overcome and better time be made.

In this connection Mr. Blodgett said stops cannot well be overcome. They are made because of road connections in the in­terest of the general public.

Th^ time table was gone over by the superintendent and visitors.- Mr* . Blod:

_ gett said he does not arrange the time table, but will be present when the ievision takes

1 place.A n amusing incident occurred when.the

'visitors met Mr. Blodgett. T l^ gentlemen /met him in the rear, of the station and1 he asked them. “Ah, have yon come by trolley to see meV”

; . ' Morgan & Parsons, proprietors of Hotel - Brunswick} have received a communication

shearing upon the agitation, in question from a gentleman in Hagerstown, Md. • The

>most noteworthy portions of the letter xead as follows :

- "You are aware. I suppose, that from •points inland the railroad companies give a special two-weeks-rate (formerly ten days) at a very low sum. From this place to Atlan­tic City or Cape May it is $5.50 for tbe two weeks limit/ This is a discrimination again&t

, Asbury Park and other points along the coast that is unaccountable to me. It- isn’t a

- question of distance, because that rate is no imore going to Cape May than Atlantic City,

- .and 1 take it for granted that to Asbury iPark the distance is not greater, or very lit-

~ Ule, than to Cape May.“Unless-the railroad companies can sub-

tmn themselves by reasons-which are not apparent' -to*my mind, I think you woold have no difficulty l)a getting the benefit’of those rates if you would combine^ and insist upon having them from the railroad com-

. paniea.•“If yon will- permit me, trie* method to

IMPROVED WATER SERVICE.

Ocean Grove is Making Extensive Im­provements for Future Demands.

‘ Ocean. Grove is making • extensive im­provements in its water system. I t is now far in advance of Asbury Paik, but will put this city to the blush when the trork is completed.

And it will require nearly $20,000 to do it But the best is not too good for the eamp- meeting people. I t is thought that in a month’s time the installation of the water mains now being laid will be completed-

When all is done Ocean Grove will have 55 Are plugs, 25 of which are to be the most modern that can be secured. They will be of the anti-freezing pattern.

The improvements begin at the power house, where the large mains or feeders are connected. These mains are 8, 10 and 12 inches in diameter. By mtfans of the mains great quantities of water wili.he sent „tp all points in the Grove. They are particularly serviceable in that they will supply, beyorwh any fear of extraordinary drain, the most important sections, as, for instance, the beach front and other places-most distant from the power house. The old mains have proved inadequate^

In addition to this work, the new fire plugs will be installed. These plugs are to have six-inch pipes, affording a liberal stream, which, with the great pressure back of it, will.giye a superior service in times of need." But the old fire plugs are not to be discarded. Superintendent Lewis Rainear has an eye to the interests of property own­ers. H e will so arrange the plugs that the old and new are placed in locations where each will prove equally effective. The new ones will be attached to the h e a v j mains now being laid. Four of tbe old one?, will be moved. Tijey have been found to be de­fective, and after repairs have been made will be advantageously placed.

When all is done Ocean Grove will have, a plant whose pumping capacity is 2,500,000 gallons of water a day. A reservoir plant, to be used in case the main plant breaks down, with a capacity of 1 ,00( 000 gallons, and a reserve reservoir, with a capacity of 500,000 gallons. ^

A Freaky Valve at the WaW Works Held up the Water Supply.

The “regulara’*in Ocean Groye were i6 a quandary early last Friday. V'Water was not to be had in the hotels and cottages in exchange for even XI. S. 6’s f t i

Coffee could hot be served until 8 o’clock or thereabouts. Old Beersheba,;the first well driven id Ocean Grove, and ‘ located near the auditorium, had a fearful''jjrain on it,' but runs on faithfully as ever. Qjthere was a continual stream of housewiv^j kitchen- maids, and hotel dignitaries who hold Bway where the stew pan bubbles—a)i.£ome from every section of the resor t to geV-tbe neces sary water for breakfast. The run on the well began as early as 5.30 o'clock and kept up until the water pipes flowed.their wel­come flow again. • > ?_ The trouble was unavoidable, and was due

to a valve which refused to workiv ,The camp meeting association ^ laying

nejv mains, or feeders, of such eize as t^ answer for all emergencies for yei[re to come. These maids will permit of an abundance of water at any point in Ocean Gtove under any condition or demand; . ..*+'■

Last night the connection with the new pipe was made at tho power house. The plan was to sudjonly empty the tan]< itt the power house abont 10 o’clock,'tnake the connection, and be ready for pntoping and Bupply again about 3 a. m. f

Unexpectedly one of the old valves, with which connection was necessary, refused to work properly and the pipe, had to be broken in order'to get it out and readjusted. This obstacle delayed finishing tile work un­til about 0 a. m. No opportunity was availa­ble by which the people could be hotlHed, so the engineers had to-go'ahead a fast as possible. ..

Provisions had been made two days ago with the East Jersey Coajt Company to run their water into the Ocean Wrove system, in case of an alarm of fire. Except for the broken valve the people of Ocean* Grove would hardly have known their supply had been stopped. / y j

The Defaulting Cashier of the PerthAmboy Bank. Now. in Prison, Says lie

Was Robbed at Long Branch ' by Roulette Gamblers.

George M. Valentine, the defaulting cashier of the Middlesex County Bank of Perth Amboy, who is now serving a six yeare term in Btate prison, is trying to get b a c k so m e of th e money which he claims he lo s t playing roulette at Long Branch.

Through his counsel, United States Dis- trict-Attoraey J . Kearny Rice of New Brunsivick, Valentine has brought suit In the Supreme Court against Edward Marks of Long Branch, who is said to be a partner of Phil Daly, to recover cash which he asserts he lost in a clubhouse at that resort, of which Marks is the ostensible proprietor.

I t is supposed that the money which it is sought to recover is tlie' cash which Valeh; tine took with him when he left ih e bank

f/frst prior to hia exposure, and with which he hoped to win enough to stave off the evil day.

Valentine was reported as having declared that he lost the money at a gambling honse in New York. 'H e had increased his capital lo over $13,000, he declared, ond lost i t all on one turn of the wheel.

The suit against Marks is brought under the first and fifth sections of the "act to prevent gaming.” T h e first section of the act declares all gaming to be unlawful, and the~ fifth provides that any .person who shall lose any money, goods* • chattels or other valuable thing, in vioferiioii of the first section may sue and' recover the same from the winner or • stakeholder, provided suit shall be- brought within six months after payment or, delivery of the money lost.

This suit, brought' in. the name of a de­faulter, whose peculations have- earned the' Ikilnre of a bank and consequent loss and sufferings to hundreds of depositors, has caused a decided awakening of publie sen­timent in Monmonth • county directed against the Long Branch gambling eluhsy which ron openly an d , with ho- appaeea* fear of prosecution by the authorities. Th* arrest o f John T. Devine, a Lone Branch hotel-keeper, a short lime ago, for>. having a slot machine in his bar room, white-no- notice is taken of the- palatial clnb hotwes, has caused moch critidesa, a large share- of which is directed at Prosecutor Heistfcy,. whose home is at Long Branch.

HEAVY FINES FOR THREE .CRAP SHOOTERS

Magistrate Borden Discovers a Trio of Sports. Throwing the Bones Last

Night on the West Side and ■ Fines the Bunch S7I.20. . ..

Magistrate Borden threw tbe. winning dice last Saturday in a game of crap in which he took a hand Friday evening. The losers were William Bates, W illiam Bowne and William- Jacobs, Their Individual losses were 132.70, f21.80 and $17.70, respectively. These figures represent the amounts of their fines and the costs. W hat other losses the ‘trappers" sustained the fat roll of greenbacks displayed by Bates-this morning, when he paid his fine- after the hearing in Park- Hall, told more truthfully than either Jacobs or Bowne would re-, veal.

The crap shooWrs were caught through the intervention of Magistrate Borctten F ri­day evening about 6 o’clock, while they were indulging in .the game in the rear of a, poolroom in Springwood avenue. . Botden1 discovered the gamesters by chance, as he. was on his way home a few minute 5 o’clock.' A South Mainstreeter whispered to His HqnoRr“Say, ’Squire, want to see- something?”

“YeB, don’t care if I So,” answered Bor-- den.

“Come hep , tiles,” and the Bowerite led- the way to a hole in a near by fence.

“Now, look through there.”..H is Honor looked-, W hat he sa w w as a

boat Joad of boys-all eagerly w atchings game of “bones."

“Heigho,” said Borden, “here’s sport. Let me see; section O o f the city ordinance ' lo prevent vice and immorality covers this case exactly. Between b o’clock in the evening and 7 o’clock" in the morning^ gamesters like this may b* ronnded up*so saya the law. I ’ll go home- to snpper, come back, and I ’ll have than gang: in the cooler su m 's you’re born. I t ’wiH then b* after 6 o’clock, well within the-limit of the law,”

The game 'went merrily on. Bates threw Ihe “ bones" with" the-rarest kind of dexterity. He pulled in-a good greenback of the one dollar denomination. Jacobs lost tbat. The “pot” Wspt high. Bowne also soen loet a dollar to Ba+es> “Cwne 7, oome 11—ahr* gleefully,'’ said BaOesy as he tucked away another bill, into- tbe palm of kis hand. Tbe kids looking on opened

i their eyes ha astonishment! THey had never seen money gotten so easily.' One of them fHl ofPthegunwale of the oraiy Sat-bottomed boat,, on, whose bottom the dice were made to spin and roll, ao excited: did he-become.

Money changed hands freely until 0 o’cleck, when Borden arrived on-the-scene. He had, summoned Officers Norris and-pal- matter to take the gnngi in- tow. When Bonlen and Palmateer went- into tW yard there was a aalghty scramble. Mbney was stuok in pockets and dice were- picked up with a# niueki care and luwte as would be | bestowed: op diamonds in oases- oS <

Jacobs was caught by Borden without any I trouble; H e was so overawed-tlmt he could not move-. Bowne made a, spurt, leaped the I fence and escaped Palmateor. Bates-ran like I the windi through the pool rooms and [ slumbltd into Norris’ arms.- Norris had I been stationed in Springwood avenue to I await such a dodge.

BLODGETT FAVORSBETTER TRAIN SERVICE

The Asbury Park ond Ocean Grove Boards of Trade Putting Up a United Rgtit

Tor Additional Trains to and From New York.

Prospects are bright to-day for an . im- . proved winter tram service. In addition to the retention of a fast morning train to New lYork and the theatre train from New York, Aabury Park may also secure a. “flyer.” .

The much-desired conference between members of the Asbury Park Board of Trade and Eufus Blodgett, superintendent of the New York & £ong Branch Railroad Company, stationed at Long Branch, has been.held,

Henry Steinbach, Clarence S. Steiner, George W. Treat and J . Lyle Klnmonth, members of the railroad committee of the Board of Trade, were in conference with Mr. Blodgett last Friday. At the station in Long Branch the committeemen were met by W. H. Beegle, Postmaster William Hamilton, N. H. Kilmer and Harold B. Ayres, mem­bers of the Ocean Grove Board of Trad6.

„ ^Mr. Blodgett received the gentlemen in a Teigr cordial manner. Henry Steinbach acted as spokesman. The conditions which confronted the citizens of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove were rehearsed to Mr. Blod­gett and bis interest and co-opehition solicited.

The superintendent said he recognized ihe fact that Asbury Park has not been re- •oeiving the service which he thought is due the city. T hb Statement was made when

, Mr.Steinbach gracefully alluded to the great patronage enjoyed by the railroad in^the summer time and the justice Of the plea he was making for a few favors in (return in the other seasons. Mr. Blodgett’s reply was

“ Yes, you’re entitled to it.’*The discnssion related particularly to the

8.20 a. m. train over the Pennsylvania road from Asbury. Park^to New York and the midnight theatre train from New York to Asbury Park. A strong pjea was made for ■the retention of these - trains. Mr. Blodgett aaid he w’ould do all in his power to grant their retention and thought they would be re­tained. He suggested that a petition be’ sent F. L. Shepard, general superintendent of the United Railroads of New -Jersey Divis­ion, stating the case and hearing the signa­tures of the business men and others. This will be none early next week,

Mr. Blodgett said he has been? drying for years to secure a “flyer” for Asbury Park, fcut has not succeeded. He said: - “As soon as business will warrant it, that is, when the hotel men secure winter and spring business, ft© encourage the train, a flyer may be .given to Asbury Park and Ocean G rovethat ; shall leave for4 New York at an hour that will enable business men to be at their la- ‘bore about-9 or 9i30 in the morning, and re-* turn to Asbury Park in the evening a t a

treasonable hour.”This “ flyer” may prove a more tangible

: th ing 1 than one will at first thought suppose iit4o^>e. Dr. Joseph H . Bryao, who has t&rge interests at Avon and is confident that the improvements' now going on a t that place will prove an additional argument for the “flyer,” says a num ber. of gentlemen Jhaive signified their intention to make up any pecuniary losses that may be.sustained iby the running of that train.* The fast train that Mr. Blodgett referred tcftffi ttJffTWeleonieTnJdHiotrkrthe'serri ce^as Mr, Steinbach pointed but In referring to the disagreeable change now made a t Red iBank by passengers who leave New York on the Lakewood express. At Red Bank pas*

'J sengers are transferred to the way train that leaves New York at 4.15 o’clock in the after­noon* If the “ flyer” is not secured it is de-

: sired that this change of cars be overcome and better time be made.

In this connection Mr. Blodgett said stops cannot well be overcome. They a^e made because of road connections in the In­terest of the general public.

The time table was gone over by the superintendent anil visitors. Mr. Blod­gett said be does not arrange the time table, but will be present when the icvibion'-takes jjlace. '■** ,

A n amusing incident occurred when the -visitors met Mr. Blodgett. The gentlemen met him in the rear of the station and he asked Uiem. “Ah, have you come by trolley to see* me ?”

. Morgan & Parsons, proprietors of Hotel Brunswick, have received a communication

- -\bearing upon thft agitation |n question from a gentleman in Hagerstown, Md. | h e >most noteworthy portions, of the letter ■jead as follows :

i‘You are aware. I suppose,^ that from ' points inland the railroad companies give a * B p e c ia l two weeks-rate (formerly ten days) at

a very low sum. .From this place to Atlan­tic City or Cape May it is $5.50 for the two weeks-limit. This is a discrimination against Asbury Park and other points along the coast that-is unaccountable to me. I t isn’t a question of distance, because that rate is no

•imore going to Cape May than Atlantic City, .and 1 take j t for granted that to Asbury iPark the distance is not greater, or very lit­tle, than to Cape May. #

“Unless the railroad companies can sus­tain themselves by reasons which are no t apparent to my mind, I think you would have no difficulty in getting the benefit of those rates if you would combine^ and insist upon having them from the railroad com­panies.

“If you will permit me, tjie method to pursue would be somewhat like th is: To bring the hotel keepers together in meeting at Asbury Park, which is a central point, bringing them in from ail other points north and south along the Jersey coast, and then

~ directing attention to this discrimination of rates, and appointing a comihittee,backed by

petition, to Jay the -matter before the com­panies for the ensuing season; so tha£ you Would Btand upon an even fpoting with, the

L other points to which these rates are • :given.”

N ine times out of ten when a man aska your bpinion he la only looking for an op.

'portnnu^ to express his own. \

IMPROVED WATER SERVICE.Ocean Grove Is Making Extensive Im­

provements for Future Demands,Ocean .Grove is making extensive im­

provements in its water system. I t is now far in advance of Asbury Patk, but tyill put this city to the blush when the work is completed.

And it will require nearly $20,000 to do it But the best is not too good for the eamp- meeting people. It is thought that In a month’s time the installation of the water mains now being laid will be completed.

When all is done Ocean Grove 'Will have 55 fire plugs, 25. of which are to be the most modern that can be secured. They will be of the anti-freezing pattern.

The improvements begin at the po'wer house, where the large mains or feeders are connected. These mains are 8,10 and 12 inches in diameter. By means of the mains great quantities of water will be sent to all points in the Grove. They are particularly serviceable in that they will supply, beyond any fear of extraordinary, drain,: the mo6t important sections, as, for instance, the beach front and other places.moet distant from the power house. The old mains have proved inadequate. . • * * .

In addition to this work, the new fire plugs will be installed. These plugs are to have six-inch pipes, affording a liberal stream,, which, with the great pressure back of it, will give a superior service in times of need. But the old tire plugs are not to be discarded. Superintendent Lewis Rainear has an eye to the interests of property own­ers. He will so arrange the plugs that^the old and new are placed in locations where each will prove equally effective. The new ones will be attached to the heavy mains, now being la id .. Four of tbe old onee will be moved. They have been found* to be de­fective, and afjer repairs have been made- wili be advantageously placed.

When all is done Ocean Grove will have a plant whose pufoping capacity is 2,500,000 gallons of water a day. A reservoir plant, to be used in case the main plant breaks 'down, with a capacity of 1 ,000,000 gallons, and a reserve reservoir, with a capacity of 600,000 gallons. • v

THSRSTV PCEAN GROVERS.

A Freaky Valve a t th e Waiter Works - Held up the W ater,Supply,

Ths “regulars'lin Ocean Groye were in a quandary early last Friday, , Water "was not to be .had iu tbe hotels wns cottages in exchange for even U . S. 6’e .

Ooflee could not be Berved until 8 o'clock or thereabouts. Old Beeraheba,ithe first well driven in Ocean Grove, and'located near the auditorium, had a fearful;brain on it, but runs on faithfully aa ever. There was a continual stream of housewiW, kitchen maids, and hotel dignitaries wKo'.hold sway where the stew pan bubblea-^afieonse from every section of the resort to jjfit the neces sary water for breakfast. ThcVrun on the well began as early as 5.30 o’clocl s nd kept up until the water pijies fiowqd- their wel­come Sow again. 1

The trouble was unavoidable, hnd wns due to a valve which refused to work;:; j

The camp meeting assbeiatioiijia laying new mains, or feeders, of such."|lie as to answer for all emergencies for years to come. These inning will permit of an a b id an ce of water at any point in Ocean ( ,; .mder any condition or demand.'

Last night tho connection witV! ihe new pipe was .made at the power htftse,. The plan was to sudjeniy empty the tjnV itt the power house about 10 o’clock,1 make the connection, and be ready, for pt)toping and supply again about 3 a. m. ’■ ,' >

Unexpectedly one of the old valves, with which connection was necessary, rifased to work properly and the pipe, had to be broken in order to get it out and re-isdjmitcd. This obstacle delayed finishing the s orb un­til about 6 a. m. N o opportunity wss availa­ble by which the peopler could be iiotified, so the engineers had t»go ahead a*v fast as possible. . ~ . .• Provisions had been mode two'days ago with the' East Jersey Coart Company to run their water into the Ocean Grove sfMem, in case of an alarm of fire. Except) for tlie broken valve the people of Ocea® Gross would hardly have known their supply i «d been stopped. . JT

VALENTINE SUESFOR MONEY LOST

Thei Defaulting Cashier o f the Perth Amboy .Bank, Now.ln Prison, Says He

Was Robbed a t Long Branch by Roulette Gamblers. .

George M. Valentine, the defaulting cashier of the Middlesex County Bank of Pertht Amboy, who is now serving a six years' term in state prison, is trying to get back some of the money which he claims he lost playing roulette a t Long Branch.

Through his counsel, United States Dis trict-Attorney J . Kearny Rice of New Brunswick, Valentine has brought suit in the Supreme Court against Edward Marks of Long Branch, who is said tp be a partner of Phil Daly, to/ recover cash which he asserts he lost in a clubhouse at that resort, of which M arksjs.ihe ostensible proprietor.

I t is supposed that the uoijiey which it is sought to recover is the cash which Valets* tine took with him when he left ih e bank just prior to his exposure, and with which he hoped to win enough to at»ve off the evil day. , . * '

Valentine Was reported as having declared tbat he lost the money at a gambling hofrae in New York. He had increased bia"capital to over SI3,000, he declared, and lost i t all on one turn of the wheel.

The suit against Marks is brought under the first and fifth sections of the “act to prevent gaming." The first section of the act declares all gfeming to be unlawful, and the fifth provides that any peison who shall lose any money, goods-, chattels or other valuable thing in y ioM on of the first section may sue and! recover the same from the winner or • stakehiidier, provided suit shall b e brought witfc» six months after payment or delivery of the money lost.

This suit, brought in the mme of » (is- fw>lter, whose peculations have- c&mewt %ait»re of a bank and consequent lo: suffcviDgs to hnndreds of depository caused a decided awakening of pnblk- »*®- tlmenO in Monmooth • connty directed against the Long Brandt gamb)i*9 elob«y which ran openly md with no1 apparent fear of prosecution ly the authorities.

H e dwelt upon the fact that Christ Is the one great personage id the Bible whose history haa iost noa« of its charm. There is a solemnity In the closing Words of one so great as the Lord. Tbe last words In Holy w rit proceed from Him. They are an acknowledgement of H is human de­scent and as snch an accompanying dec­laration of Him&eif as the dlvine.human mediator between God and man.

The holiness meeting was held In the tabernacle at 8-80' p. m-, and -was. led by Dr. Ballard, ITte surf meeting, at 6 p- m., at the foot of Ocean Pathway, attract: erd 5,000 to the beach.- D r. Ballard also led this service. .

Howard preached again in the evening in tbe aaditorium to a large audience, from the Ifext :• "H e that be- lievetb on me, the works- that 1 do- shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go-unto my Father.” Mr. Howard safd the- greater works re. ferred to were not miracles,- which, he de­clared, werw within men’® power to per­form if they only knew bow 'to handle tbe Iowa of nature as Christ dl(f.

HOW HVRF TO£ MIGHTY FALLEN I. D reyfus is not condemned. He is a martyr

to the cause of truth and justice. H is so- called condemnation is a farce. The world proclaims him guiltless. France’s army is fall of cancerous sores. The germs of its fearful rottenness will eat and eat until dis­solution must follow. Not until then will truth arise. Not until then will Dreyfus be adjudged innocent by a court higher than the cowardly tribunal that defied God and man, out of fear for its superior* in- the army. That higher court will be France— awakened France, revolutionized France, France of true Marseillaise glory. But how much sufiering must be endured till that hour ! How low France has fallen that this consummation may be brought about!

Beasoq totters on her throne, not only for Dreyfus, but for civilized humanity the world over, when the present it. thoroughly understood. That a nation in which God is recognized, at least in the administration of an oath, can fall as low as France has fallen, seems impossible. I t is base to com­pare Spain with France.\ There is no just comparison possible. France ( is beneath Spain in every core and fibre of her being. With all her intelligence, her position In

• the frorit rank of belles-lettres, her roster of immortals,' h e ^ ^ ifa l grandeur, that same France needed to sitak only half so . low as

- Spain in the descent hell-ward, to become a more grievius blot on God’s-green earth than the once great Castilian land; yet she has fallen to the unfathomable depths of Neronic dishonor and infamy. One forgives the ignorant and superstitious, but for the

” people of Aloliere* Talleyrand, Mirabeau1 yea, even Napolean, there can be no pardon,

DrejfuB is an eternal protest against it. *

Mayor/ Augustus Chandler of-' Long Branch/iraa held up by highwaymen last week. 7 Hold-ups in Long Branch /are common, but In the mayor’s case the crime was committed in broad daylight. .

Down at Atlantic City a visitor was re­cently dofed with knock-out' drops and' robbed of $1 ,000.

Asbury Park, after all, is the only safe place for a summer vacation. Here knock­out drops are unknown and highwaymen fear to tread. ' In_ ihe language of the German poet:

There is only ono placo In th is world for m o;

There is only ono town By the jJorsey soa.

LEST WE FOHPET.I t is again and again asserted that in this-

country people live on the rapid transit plan.

At the Ocean Grove Auditorium, last week, an incident occurred that aptly dem­onstrated a strong accompaniment to this as­sertion—we die ot? the same plan. In this connection dying is not synonymous with forgetting, though the latter jdea is con­joined with the act of shuffling off this mor­tal coil. When the cruiser Vizcaya was shown by the biograph as entering New York harbor, and, later, as she lay a smok­ing, shattered wreck off Santiago,^here was hardly a ripple of applause, and not a hiss was heard. Some might indulge the .sentir ment that charity had suddenly seized upon the audience. Whatever it was, the truth is that our disposition to forget is one of our characteristics anjl that characteristic was unmistakably manifested last night. ■'

We feel confident in asserting that this forgetfulness extends to every depart­ment of our, national life. Our manifold business interests, the complexity of "ofir- social life, the everchangiug political con* ditions in which we constantly find ourselves, usurp the historic idea so utterly that our forgetfulness becomes pathetic. And yet, no one can dispute the fact that, when great occasions arise, our patriotism and love of past and present glories are as pronounced in their manifestation as our forgetfulness may also be.

PATRIOTISM LACKING.The Board of Trade, at its monthly*.

—ineeting held Tuesday^did not take up the subject of Dewey day.

No one wili deny that this Is a matter of general regret. Every city an<J town of importance In the country will celebrate the day. Asbury Park can hardly afford to remain supine on such a day.

DeWey day will never come again. I t Is one of the great occasions the world’s annals rarely r«cord. Perhaps the mem­ory of that day will be revived yearly, btft In this year ofvgrace It- Is the substance we are blessed with. And it Is a blessing, one of those blessings that nations should be grateful for, in that It inculcates greatness

. in the souls of our children, the future rulers and admirals and generals of the United.States.V

A seeming comes over us at this writingth a t It remains tor Ocean urove to do what Asbury Park left undone. Our sis­ter city has done great things this suipmer and will be able to do more great things. I t would not surprise us in tbe least If the Methodists on t ’other Bide .of the lake Whoop ’er up in true American style.

B ut time yet remains for the Board of Trade to a c t A special m eeting may easily be called and the mistake of yester­day be blotted out.

garbage scows having been taken out to ‘sea by - the accommodating currents, let not the spirit of lethargy lay hold on our people. /When Satan wants to get in his best licks he dopes the moral senses. Perhaps New Yorkers are sending a dopey brand of min­eral water to this point of the compass. The J o u r n a l findB no reechoing voice taking up the cry of “Slop-oh ! Slop-oh!” as the Phila­delphia scavengers hoot that cry a t the back yard gates.

That cry has been raised. Are you going* to down it by letting it die an ignominious death? V'Slop'Oh” is a- cry that - should arouse your sense of local pride.' You Can’t atford-tohttve'the^lap-accaimilatingin'your back..yard. Doctor’s bills, come high and must be paid. “Slop-oh !” is a cry that goes forth from the J o u r n a l in the interest of A-ibury Park as a summer resort; We don’t want to be doped, so wo refrain from drink­ing the water referred to. We are awake to the real issue. New York slop and other refuse is a destructive element along our beautiful,coast. Hbw much longer will th is1 nuisance be tolerated ? > "3^

A RARE CHANCE.Asbury Park Bhould not let slip the op­

portunity offered by Prof. Tallie Morgan in his scheme to organize a combined Asbury Park and Ocean Grove chorus, for the pur­pose of j providing the pfeople with pure, wholesome entertainment. Oratorios and other musical creations such as Morgan dis­penses to the public are valuable adjuncts to any city.- .When we have so generous an offer made us, it is not only policy to accept

but it wilt prove a 4ritr^rf"gycelleiit-wllfr- dQtn on the part of all to lend their assist­ance, artistic and financial, Here’s a chance to. help by opening the month wide, very wide.

A WINTER CHORUS.

Asbury Park and Ocean Grove to JUnSte Under Prof. Morgan's Leadership.

Wo are going to hays s winter, chorus J Prof. Morgan has consented to direct it,

and to give at least four grand concert*.Asbury Park and Ocean Grove Bingers

are going tu unite. This will give a chorus of at least two hundred and fifty voices..

Rehearsals will be held alternately in An­bury Park and Ocean Grove; that Is one week here and the next in Oceaa Grove.

Thisinovement already has (he support of all public spirited citizens, and every person with a singing voice will hall the news with gladness. Just think of giving such works as the “Messiah,” the “Fall of Babylon" and the "Holy City” in Asbury Park. People, have an ides that these town , are totally deserted daring the winter months but when they « e in the metropoli­tan papers that we have a chorus here of 250 voices, giving such standard works as th» above, they will spen their ayes in wonder. . <

OCEAN GROVE'S ENTERPRISE.The news of Ocean Grove’s Improve­

ments in its water service, published In the J o u r n a l , will arouse liberal comment Id Asbury Park.

And well It may.When such enterprise Is manifested

across the lake it behooves our coundl- men of tbe economy stripe to, take a few lesspiu in political housekeeping from their Methodist superiors. What Is good for Ocean Grove is nevertoo good foV Asbnry Park, but your economists are satisfied u> let the dictum be: What Ocean Grove casts oil is good enough for Asbnry Park.

Buf even that dpes not express the truth, for Ocean Grove’s water system is to day superior to that we must support at .1 loss of money and untold conveniences.

How our service will compare with • Shit of Ocean Grove when the latter’g im­

provements are completed, we blush to tell..

Nearly every cross-road hamlet in New Jersey will celebrate Dewey day, but As- bury Park evidently does not know that such a day is on the calendar.

It Is gratifying to be able to record tbe fact that Asbury Park has enjoyed sea­son of security from depredators of tsvery class. Criminals have found this city dangerous ground to explore. They have been sent out by the dozen by tha city de, tectlve. The < police have been looking tbelr beat all summer, haying had scarcely half a dozen occasions on which they were compelled to exert themselve/and become disfigured. These things speak well for our police and'tbeir competent chief. It is noticeable that Mr. Smith wears a broad smile these days, aud the reason is found on his newsless blotter.

chorus of one thousand voices for the great musics! festival to be held there next May. Two days a week in Washington, D. C, two in New York and about forty towns trying to get the other day. Asbury Park-arid' Ocean Grove should get that one, day, apd If the singers will show an interest in the movement they should, we will get it.

Two meetings will be fyeld for the pur­pose of finding out whether the singers de­sire this or not. The first will be held in the auditorium, Ocean Grove, Frsday -even­ing, and the other in Asliury Park next week. ■ ........... . . . .

The question wil! be a s k e d “ Who can join? - fi' \\vh;U wtlT fMj tlic cosL who can sing the scale in tune will be. ac­cepted. No previous training is necessary. No voipe tests will be made at present. In no ca»S will the cost exceed $1.50 for .the entire year, and pbssibly not that much.

Now, this matter must be decided within one week, for Prof. Morgan must give his answer to the. other towns so that he can begin work on the first of October. When a certain day is once engaged, it is engaged for the. whole season, and it will not do for the people here to say after he has gone, “ Oh, it is too bad, we should have seenred him here,” or “ I had intended to join,” etc.

We are trying for winter business, for a better train service, for open hotels, and what will do more than a grand united cho­rus to attract the people here and amuse those who come? Then let all work for this movement now.

It is likely that the day giren to us will be Tuesday, so that it will not in any way

TRAVELING LIBRARIES FOR RURAL TOWNS.

Twenty o f Them, of Fifty Books Each, Will Be Provided by the State and

Sent on Their Travels Within a Few Weeks.

The members of tbe State Library Com. mission will bood be called together for the purpose of .perfecting the plan for the establishment of traveling libraries within tiia state. The traveling library Idea la not a pew one, but it was not until Gover­nor Griggs suggested that an appropriation be made by the legislature two years ago to defray the expenses of making the equip-, ment, that the people of New Jersey gave it a serious thought. J

The Federation of Women’s- Clubs took a ilveiy interest In tbe suggestion, and it was largely due to, their efforts that the legislature last winter was Induced to ap­propriate $ 1 ,000.for the purchase of books and paraphernallla necessary to the con­duct of the library.

It is tbe purpose of the commission to send books of a miscellaneous character to small towns in various section of the state where there are no circulating li­braries or reading rdoms, tad give the residents the benefit of up-to date literature without expense to them.

The appropriation will enable the com­mission to purchase 20' libraries of 50 books ehch, and the. cases in which they are to ba kept. To secure one of -these libraries application must be made for It by some responsible person in the com­munity, into whose charge it will.be given. The Intention Is to have the li­brary located in the post-offle or a store where It will be available to tbe people during the day,

Tbe person Into whose keeping tbe li­brary Is given,Is to act as librarian. He will be required to keep a record of each book given out, so tiist it can be traced to tbe person borrowing it at any time.

The holder of a book is to be allowed io keep It a week or more, after which time oas cent a day must be paid for its use. This wlli be the only charge made for the use of the books.

A community may have the use of tbe library six months, at the end of which time it must be returned to thii State Li­brarian, to be put In repair, if necessary, and sent to soaue other tows.

The Impression prevails in some”quat»- ters that the books to Im circulated in the traveling _ library are thote already in- clnded in tbe^state^-Hbrary. - Thls-is^not true. ' Books will be especially purchased for the] traveling libraries, and will be selected upon suggestions made by the library commission and by members of the communities which intend to avail themselves of the opportunity to get the benefit of the libraries.

State Librarian Henry C. Buchanan says that no applications for the libraries h^ve yet been made, and he thinks it is because the people have not. a thorough understanding of what tho proposition means to them.

Ithas been the result in other states where..the, .scheme. has been trled • that parsons of means have donated libraries o f . the traveling kind that have been named In tbelr honor, and several mem­bers of the Federation of Women's Clubs have expressed the opinion that tlmt this will be done in New Jersey when the plan baa been periected.

The federation meets at Atlantic City within a few weeks. It ia expected that there will be 1 ,C00 women present, rep resenting the wealth and culture of tbe state. They have asked that one of the libraries, be placed on exhibition In tbe convention hall, so that they may have a clear Idea of what It looks like and how It is to be bandied.

HOW HVTtt THE MIGHTY FALLEN I. Dreyfua is not condemned. He is a martyr

to the1 cause of truth and justice. His. so- called condemnation is a farce. The world proclaims him guiltless. France’s army is full of cancerous sores. The germs of its fearful rottenness will eat and eat until dis­solution must follow. Not until then will truth arise. Not until then will Dreyfus be.

That,higher court will be F ra n ce - awakened France, revolutionized France, France of true Marseillaise glory. But how much suffering must be endured till that hourl How low France has fallen that this consummation may be brought about!

Reason totters on her throne, not only for Dreyfus, but for civilized humanity the world over, when the present ii» thoroughly understood. That a nation in which Qod is recognized, at least in the administration of an oath, can fall as low as France has fallen, seems impossible. I t ia base to com­pare Spain with F rand t There Is no just comparison possible. 'France is beneath Spain in every core and fibre of her being. W ith all her intelligence, her position in the front rank of Tjelles-leitres, her roster of immortals, her social, grandeur, that same France needed to sink only half so low as Spain in the descent hell-ward, to become a more grievius blot on- God’s green earth than the once great Castilian land; yet she has fallen to the unfathomable depths of Neroriic dishonor and infamy.

LEST WE FORGET.-

I t is again and again asserted that in this .country people live on the rapid transit plan. . , «

At the Ocean Grove Auditorium, Iast week, an incident occurred that aptljr dem­onstrated a strong accompaniment to this as­sertion—we die on the same plan. In this connection dying is not synonymous .with forgetting, though the latter idea is con­joined with the act pf shuffling off this mor­tal coil. When the cruiser .Vizcaya was shown by the biograph as entering New York harbor, and, later, as she lay a smok­ing, shattered wreck off Santiago, there was hardly a ripple of applause, and no^ a hiss was heard. Some might indulge tlie sentir ment that charity had suddenly seized upon the audience. Whatever it was, the truth is that our disposition to forget is one of oui- characteristics and that characteristic was unmistakably manifested last night. -

We feel confident in asserting that this forgetfulness extends to every depart­ment of our, national life. Our'1 manifold business interests, the complexity o f our social life, the everchanging political con­ditions in which we constantly find ourselves; usurp the historic idea so utterly that our forgetfulness becomes pathetic. And yet, no one can dispute the fact that, jvhen great occasions arisefour patriotism and love of past and present glories are aa pronounced in their manifestation as our forgetfulness may also be. - '

PATRIOTISM LACKING.Tho Board of Trade, at it? monthly

m eeting held Tuesday, did not take up the Bubject of Dewey day.

No one will deny that this is a matter of general, regret. Every city an<J town of importance in the country will celebrate the day. A9bury Park can hardly afford to remain §upine on buch a day.

Dewey day will never come again. I t Is one of. the great occasions the world’s annals rarely record. Perhaps the mem­ory of that day will be revived yearly, but In this year of grace it is the bubstance we are blessed with. And it is a blessing,-one -of thoBe blessings that nations should , be grateful for, ip that it inculcates greatness in the souls of, our children, the future, rulers and admirals and generals of the

that It remains for Ocean Grove to do what Asbury Park left tihdone. Our sis­ter city has done great things this summer and will be able to do more great things. I t would not surprise us in th e feast if tbe Methodists on t ’other side of the lake whoop ’er up in true American style. '

OCEAN GROVE'S ENTERPRISE.The news of . Ocean Grove’s Improve­

ments in its water service, published In the J ournal, will arouse liberal comment Id Asbury Park.

. _ And well It may.When such enterprise is manifested

across the lake It behooves our coun6il« men of the'economy stripe to take a few lessons in political housekeeping from their Methodist superiors. Whatiflgood for Ocean Grove Is never too good for Asbury Park, but yo^r economists are satisfied to let the dictum be: W hat Ocean Grove

. casts off is good enough for Anbury Park.But even that does not express the

truth, for Ocean* Grove’s water system Is to-day superior to that we must support a t a loss of money and- untold conveniences.

SLOPOH!

Because the beach has been clean for a week or so, therefuse from the New York' garbage scows having been taken out to -sea by the accommodating currents, let not the spirit of lethargy lay hold on our people. When Satan wants to get in his best licks he dopes the moral senses. Perhaps NewYorkers are sending a dopey brand of min­eral water to this point of the compass. The J o u r n a l finds no reechoing voice taking up the cry.of^'SIop-oh f Slop-oh!” as the Phila­delphia scavengers hoot that cry a t the back yard gates. ............ - .... >......... - ...............

That cry has be$n raised. Are you going to down it by letting it die an ignominious death? “Slop-oh” iB a cry that should arouse your sense of local pride. You can’t airord-to-havetlie'Siop^accumulatingio-your- back yarjl. Doctor’s bills come higb» and must be paid. “Slop-oh is a cry that goes forth from the J o u r n a l in the interest of Ashury Park as a summer resort. We don’t want to be doped, so we refrain from drink­ing the water referred to. We are awake to the real issue. New York slop and other refuse is a destructive element along our beautiful coast. How much longer will this nuisance be tolerated ?

A RARE CHANCE.

Asbury P a li should not let slip the op­portunity offered by Prof. Tallie Morgan in his scheme to organize a combined Asbury Park and Ocean Grove chorus, for the pur­pose of providing the people with pure, wholesome entertainment. Oratorios and other musical creations such as Morgan dis­penses to the public are valuable adjuncts to any c ity . ' When we have so generous anoffer made us, It is not only policy to accept it, but it will prove a bit of excellent wis­dom on the p^rt of all to lend their assist­ance, artistic and financial, Here’s a chance to help by opening the mouth wide, very wide.

A WINTER CHORUS.

Asbary Park and Ocean Grove to Unite Under Prof. Morgan's Leadership.

We are going to haye a winter chorus !\Prof. Morgan has consented to direct it,,

and to give at ieasi four gr->nd concerts.Asbury Park and Ocean Gro»« singers

are going to unite. This will give a chorus of at least two hundred and fifty voices.

Rehearsals will be held alternately in As­bury Park and Ocean Grove; that is one week here and the next in Ocean Grove.

This movement already has the support of all public spirited citizens, anil every pereon with a singing voice will hail the Dews wi(h gladness. Just think of giving such works a: *,he “Messiah,” the “1'atl of Babylon” and'th* .“Holy City” in Asbury Park People have an idea that thees towns are totally deserted daring the winter months but when they see in the metropoli­tan papers that we have 3 chorus here of 260 voices, giving: such standard works aa the above, they will open their eyes in wonder. .

Prof. Morgan will spend two days a week in Pittsburg, tfhere ire to train a festival chorus of one thousand voices for the great musical festival to be held there next May. Two days a week in Washington, I). G., two in New York and about forty towns; trying to get the other day. Asbury Park and Ocean Grove should get that one. day, apd if the singers will show an interest ib th e movement they should, we will get it.

Two meetings w ill be held for the pur­pose of finding out whether the siogers de- sire this or not, The first will be held int! auditorium, Ocean. Grove, Freday -evening, and the other in Asbury Park next week. •

The question will be asked: “ Who am V H S*w iiriie1he*cSt ?■' All

who can sing tha scale in tune will be ac­cepted. No previous training ia necessary. No voice tests will be made at present, in no case will the cost exceed $1.50 for the entire year, and'possibly hot that much.

Now, this matter must .be decided w'ithin one week, for Prof. Morgan must give his answer to the , other towns so tbat he can begin work on the first of October. When a certain day is once engaged, it is engaged for the whole season, and it will not do for the people here to say after he has gone, “ Oh, it is too bad, we should have secured him here," or “ I had intended to join,” etc.

We are trying for winter business, for s better train service, for open hotels, and what will'do more than a grand united cho­rus to attract the people here and amuse those who come ? Then le t all work for this movement now.' I t is likely tlmt the day given to us will be~?J«ad*yrso-tharit-will - not-in any way- interfere with regular church meetings.

TRAVELING LIBRARIES FOR RURAL TOWNS.

* » ..Twenty o f Them, o f fifty Books Each,

Will Be Provided bv the S ta te and Sent o a Their Travels Within

a Few Weeks.

The memljers of1 tho State Library Com. mission w ill, soon be called together for the purpose of perfecting the plbn for tbe establishment of traveling libraries within the state The traveling library idea is not a pew ones but it waa,not until Gover­nor'Griggs suggested that an appropriation be made by th e legislature,two years ago to defray the expenses of making the aqrilp- ment, that the people of N ew Jersey g?.«a it a serious thought,.

The Federation of Women’s Chibs took a lively Interest in ihe suggestion, and it was largely due to their efforts that the legislature last winter was induced to ap­propriate $1,500 for the purchase of bdoks and paraphernaliia, necessary to tho don- duct of the library.

I t is ,tb e purpose of the commission to send books of a miscellaneous character to small towns in various sections of the state where there are no circulating li­braries or reading rooms, and give the residents the benefit of up-to sa te literature without expense to them,

The appropriation will enable the com­mission to purchase 20 libraries of 50 books each, and the cases in which they are to be kept. To secure Oue o t these libraries application must be made -for it by some responsible person In the com­munity, into whose charge it will be given. The intention Ib to have the li­brary located in the posi-offle or a store where it will be available to the people during the day.

The perspn Into whose keeping the li­brary Is given is to act as librarian. H e will be jreqalred to keep a record of each book given out, so that it caa be traced to tbe person borrowing It a t any time,

The bolder of a book is to be allowed to keep It a week or more, after which time one cent a day m ust be paid for its use. This will be the only charge made for tbe use of the books.

A community may have the use o f the library six months, a t the end ,of which time it m ust be returned to the State Li­brarian, to be put la repair, if necessary, and sent to some other town.

The Impression prevails in soms quar­ters that the books to be circulated In the traveling library are thote already In­cluded in the state library. This is not true. Books will ba especially purchased for the' traveling libraries, and will be selected upon suggestions made by the llbrary^com m M on and by members of the communities which intend to avail themselves of the opportunity to get the benefit of the libraries.

State Librarian Henry C. Buchanan says that no applications for the libraries

, lave yet been made, and be th inks it is Fbeeause the people have not a thorough understanding of what the proposition means to them. .

it 'h a s been fhe result in other states , where the„schiism .iiM _.lieeo.tr!efl. th a t persons of means have donated libraries o f- the traveling kind hut Imvo heoa named in their honor, and several mem­bers of the Federation of Women’s Clubs have expressed the opinion tbat that this will be done in New Jersey when the plan has been perfected.

The federation meets at Atlantic City within a few weeks. I t is expected that there will be 1,500 women present, rep­resenting the wealth and culture of the state. They have asked that one of the libraries be placed on exhibition In tbe convention hall, so that they may have a clear Idea of what it looks lik e and how it is to be hnndied,;

H ob* 'Mid Com.From present indications th e price of

com is going to be higher, says L ive Stock. A fter several years of excessive­ly depressed m arkets the g rea t A m eri­can crop, promises to reach a poin t whereAlfyfculture w ill prove vary profit­able , ' he farm er. I t \y ill be more profitable th ee to sell c o m 'th an to feed i t .to /ioga lUnder these circum stances the breeder o f sw ine m oat prepare fo r ihe fu tu re . U ltim ately the price of hogs .•would go up if com became scarce and [too h igh priced, provided soma substi­tu te for com could not be found. I t is in antic ipation th a t the farm er or breed­e r reaps success. The m an who is load­ed down w ith a drove of sw ine m ight euddenly find com advanced so high th a t i t would pay him to dispose of his hogs a t once and sell h is corn in the open m arket. -Bnt there would be thou-

■ eauds of o ther breeders looking a t tbe question the.sam e way, and the sudden m arketing of so, m any hogs would u n ­doubtedly break m arket prices for them. This would be disastrous to the m an compelled to sell, and m any would be in th a t poaitioi! B ut la te r th e prices for bogs would come around to the ir nor­m al condition and even advance beyond the form er quotations. Consequently She man who keeps hiB hogs a t not too g rea t expense would reap the benefit of h is foresight qnd preparedness.

Oxen and Mulea.T ha Southern P lan te r tells of an A la­

bam a p lan ter who owns a g rea t deal of farm land w hich he ren ts to negroes on condition th a t they shall do the ir work w ith an ox instead of a mule. As a re ­sult, all his tennnts are prosperous and pay th e ir ren t prom ptly. The ox is ca­pable ennngh for all the farm work, bu t he is not su itab le to hitch up and ride

„ to 'church, cake walks said “ hoedowns” “ a f te r

both boast ami m aster stay a t home aud are fit for work the .next. day. As we read i t we wondered if there were not .aome w hite farm ers in th e north who would be m ore prosperous if they had oxen instead of horses, for the same reason. A good horse and carriage is o ften sufficient excuse for trip s to the village, daytim e as well as' evening, •when i t would iie more profitable to re­m ain a t him e. Oxen are not very rapid, b u t they are businesslike all day and do no t get in to bad company as often as

.. fast tro tte rs do. , ■ ~

.Peas For Fam ily. U se.I t is necessary to make several p lant

ings of peas to have a succession for tlie table during tb e season. Of course the earliest will be p lanted first, and. the very earliest o f ail should not be one of tile swee'ter Wrinkled varieties, as these w ill often ro t in cold.-wet soil from the am ount of w ater th a t they w iil absorb. B u t the w rinkled varieties w hen they

—come !irtLEa..Tmieh_fiweetei .an d b e tte rth a t they spoil the others for use. The peas not w rinkled should' be -used while they are sm all and tender. W hen they a tta in full size, . i t will be impossible to cook them soft. One o f 't h e early and one la ter variety of yvrinkled peas should be p lanted about.’th e 'sam e tim e T»hen the g ro u sd gets w arm enough. T he p lan ting m ay be kept up til l nearly June , though late'r p lanted peas are ap t to mildew, and a t the tim e they are rip e there ia such variety of other vege­tables and f ru its th a t yue do no t care so m uch fo r th e peart. —Boston C ultivator.

JA SB U R Y PARK JO U RNAL, FRIDAY, SE P TE M B ER 15, 1899-

HOW THE DEMOCRATSFIGURE THE RESULT.

The Monmouth Democrat's Horoscope of the Coming Struggle Between Demo*

crats ond Republicans for Noml- ’’ nations for State Offices.

Tfie opinion seems to be tbe same all ovfer the county,u8 the campaign draws near, that tblr nominations of the Democrats for the offices of senator, county clerk and sheriff will be tendered to Henry 8. Terhune, Dr. A. T. Applegate and Jacob Shutts, says the Monmouth Democrat. Mrt Terhune ha& <said that he does not yrant t^b e a candidate, but the probabilities are that he will be

. pressed to accent and will yield to the desire ■of the party. Against .him the Republicans have mentioned none except Senator Fran<

, cis, and they, are anxious that he shall be 'elected. I t is thought that they will sac­rifice everything else to Becure his election.

There is no doubt that Prosecutor Heisjey will be, a candidate next winter for the judgeship ]of the Monmouth courts, when Judge Conover’s term expires, and he wants Senator Francis returned to help him get that appointment.

— Then, U. S. Senator fiewell will .want Francis there the following ^winter to vote for his successor, which' #111 most like­ly be himself. - ,

Potting these two things together in the coming election, the prospects are there will be a lively fight.

Francis ia the strongest man which the Republicans have, but he is not nearly so popular, even in 'h ia own party, as he waa three years ago when he defeated William R, Stevens by the very small majority of

1 132 votes. That was a presidential year, too, and there was the gold and silver issue on, upon “which the Democrats were ao divi­ded, and the anti-Francis men in some parts of the county did’not put forth their efforts, because they believed Stevens had a sure thing of it.

In the event of the Democrats not being • able to persuade ex-Senator Terhune to

accept the nomination, they have several other excellent men, who can, without doubt, carry the party to victory. There is H r. Stevens, of Eatontown, who made such a good run before in the face of the many difficulties which are not likely to exist this year. Then- there is Aaron E. John­ston, who was one of Monmouth’s represen­tatives in the Legislature of 1890 '91 and

■ Joseph C. Heyer of Holmdel, who was elected to the Assembly in ’98-99.

Samuel W. Kirkbride of Asbnry Park,’ has announced, it is stated, that he positively

will not be a candidate for sheriff! I t is rumored that the party bosses. don’t want him, nor any other Asbury Park man, but want a man from Shrewsbury to offset the big vote which will HUrely be. given there for Jacob Shutts.

Overtures to this end have been made to several prominent Shrewsbury politicians, but as yet they have not found one who will .make a fight against Mr. Shutts. I t Is said •that Chosen Freeholder George'B.-Snyder, Mayor O. E. Davis of Red Bank, and Col­lector Benjamin J . Parker have all been urged to accept the nomination, but they have all refused, and intimated that they Were going to back up Mr. 8hutts, if not by open work, by their refusal to do any work against him. Rumor haa it also that these men have nd confidence in the bosses, and

- fe a r th a t th e ir s t r e ng th w ill J t e i f l w ^ t o e le c t S en a to r F rancis.

There are' a number of possible Assem­bly candidates, among whom are Counselloi Harvey K. Bergen of Allentown, son of ^Stephen B. Bergen, who Is now spoken of as <the candidate for the old First district, and Al Ivins of Red Bank, for the Third dis­trict.

Fred F. Armstrong of the Keyport En­terprise and Aaron C. H art of the Atlantic Highlands Journal have been mentioned as

< candidates for the coronership for that part of the county.

• 'I had long been a sufferer from chronic ca­ta rrh o f the head,” says Chaa. X. Stone, Esq., of Whit ford, Chester Co., Pa. " I t finally developed into a very dlsagreeble and hacking cough, w ith soreness and fullness of th e cheat, ..Doctors here pronounced It bronchitis. X tried several doc­tors and took different remedies wlthoUt receiv­ing any benefit whatever. I then wrote Dr. R. V. Pierce in reference to my case. The first bottle o f his 'G olden Medical Discovery’ stopped the cough. I used several bottles, w ith Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and have since bad no symp­toms o f a return of the cough.”

ST. PAUL’S CHURCHSILVER ANNIVERSARY

I - ■ ' —The Methodists In Ocean Grove Celebrate

the 25th Birthday of Their Society, and. Incidentally,. C le a r . the

Church of Debt.

St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church of Ocean Grove,.was ’ twenty-five years old Sunday, and the members began a week’s celebration of the event by wiping out a debt of $3,100, which had been burdening their organization for a period of fourteen yean*.

Bev. I). B. Harris, pastor dtTrinit^M * E . Church, Bridgeton, N. J.,' preached Sup* day morning, and Rev. W. S. Barnart, pastor

, Of the M. E. Church of South Amboy, N .J\, preached in tho evening. Ten pastors have served St. Paul’s. Of these, Mr. Harris was the eighth; Mr. Barnart the third, and the present pastor, Rev. Joseph G. Reed, is -the tenth.

The opening services were well attended .yesterday morning. The lecture room in the rear had to be thrown open to accom­modate the members of the congregation, their friends and visitors. The pastor and

chairs on the platfunu. The first mentioned referred io the auspicious occasion and con­gratulated his charge on the' progress that had beien made by the church in the years gone by. Hev referred to the happy fact that every^paktor who has served St) Paul's is alive to tell of the past and will do so in the course of the week.

The preacher for the morning, Mr. Har* ris, was introduced. His discourse was based on John 16,13:15,. the theme being “Christ Revealed by the Holy Spirit.” In the tfixt Christ tells His disciples that when the spirit of truth is come He will guide them into all truth.

The speaker, after felicitating the congre­gation on the attainment of its silver jubilee, said in part:

‘‘The Holy Spirit’s revelation of Christ to the in<|ividual quickens the heart and kin- dles fire tmd emotion lor the service of Godi These^elements divorced from our devotions rob our service of all life. They are neces­sary to a vital interest in the welfare of hu­manity as they are to'self and personal bene­fits. That which lays hold of God laysTiold

\of the great throbbing heart of humanity. Soaring high, by the powers of the means of grace bestowed upon us,will keep us near the

, throne. I t is a grand thing to be with Christ on’the Mount of Transfiguration.

“I f the divine Spirit were accepted in his ministrations into the hearts of all peoples, the evil around us would, be banished. God's Spirit opens up all the rich treasures of God’s house. The baptism of the Holy Ghost ia not the coronation. I t is but the opening of God’s arsenal, the means to our

, end, to enable us to fight the battles of life.. “The Holy Spirit’s revelation of Christ as­sures us of a development that is couitant, eternal. There is no attainment to which we may be lifted that cannot be developed. The scientists of to-day will be out stripped by the school boy of to-morrow. Christians may and ...should look beyond for greater sunlight. We need not cease to look for new things unti] God has exhausted His goodness, love £nd grace.”

The sermon mtide a deep impression on the hearers and was .used to good advantage by Pastor Reed, whor in making appeals to ttie people to subscribe towards the cancel­ling of the church debt, urged upon them to

" let the revelation of Christ in them become thus manifest. A blackboard, on Which. wer6 series of blocks of 5100, $50, $26, $10 ajid $5, to be cancelled as those amounts would be subscribed, proved a valuable aid to Mr. Reed‘dnlifling the mortgage th a tlu u f been borne so ihau? y a rs . In the center of ^he blackboard Was a space set apart for a

$1,000 subscription. Mr. Reed said he knew “ three good friends that will wipe out that $1,000.” So he drew a mark across the fig­ures. The ladies of the congregation, the pastor said, would cancel a $100 block; the Epworth League and the Sunday school would each also take a block of that denom­ination. In addition to these, the Y. W . C. T. XJ. cancelled a $50 block. The balance of the blackboard, less $265, was bought up by those present in less:than half an hourl Through the assistance of the following gen­tlemen, the debt had been cancelled and the balance deaired was assured-: George W. Evans, Thotaas Dunham, James A. Ross, E . A. and H., D, Clark, W. R. Clougby, Thomas E. Clayton and Dr. George L. 0 . Tompkins, all members of the church. Ernest N. Woolston an J S .D . Woolley were appointed secretaries.

The music, which will be under the di­rection of Miss Blanche Bennett a t every service during the celebration, was good. The choir sang two, anthems in the morn­ing:, ‘Oh, Come, Let Us Sing,” Mrs. R. H.' Carr of Brooklyn, soloist, and, “In Humble Faith and Holy Love.” Miss Blanche Bennett sang “Open the Gates of the Temple”

A t the-evening-sefcviop. S.- Brft*nartspoke.xirf “Some Great T h ing” .His text was the well known retorr. o f Naaman's servants, who,' when their master desired to be' cleansed 0/ lep'rosy by Elisha and the former# ridiculed the method advised, said: “I f the prophet had bid thee do some great thing wouldest thou not have.done it?”—2 Kings 5,13. Mr. Barnart applied the text to his hearers by showing the sinfulness of all men, their need of cleansing and the great thing tha t1 could accomplish the cure. He deviated somewhat from his text to show in-j dividual needs of men in this day, Every man needs some great thing. All men do not need the same, nor can all enjoy the same great thing. To every man according to his need and his ability to receive and appropriate as his own. In a w,orld mad in its social.aud business pur&uits, occasions' arise when individual succor is required.

The choir sang, : “Thou ' VisUeBt the Earth;” “Rejoice Greatly,” soloist, Mrs. R. H. Carr; “I Will L ift Up Mine Eyes,” solo­ist, Miss Blanche Bennett. Miss Alida Pat­terson, daughter of General John C. Patter­son,~ehief of the Ocean Grove police, Was the organist. ■%- • ^

The anniversary committea is composed of Rev. Joseph G. Reed,' Rev. W.- T. Ab­bott, Geoi^e W. Evans, George M. Bennett’ aud E. N. Woolston. .

PRINCIPAL SHEPHERD IN CHARGE,

The Asbury Park Public Schools Opened Thursday Morning.

Thursday, “the whining school-boy, with lfis satchel,and shining morning face, creep­ing like snail unwillingly to hool,” in­augurated another year in the progress of education in Monmouth county.

The personnel of the educators in ABbury Park is known to be all that can be desired. The teachers have m their superior' a gentleman who will doubtless prove a com­petent head and an impartial servant of the public in his direction of afiair^ as they concern the people through their children.

Principal Frederick 8. Shepherd, on whom the responsibility of the Bchools man- sgement rests, Is a graduate of Beloit Col­lege, Wisconsin. H e received his initial de- gree a t that institution in 1884. H e served as principal of the Vrarie du Ohin, Wiscon­sin, schools two y te s . Leaving Wisconsin Mr, Shepherd took up his abode i ll Minne- sots for a period of oil-years. . In jlia t time he was in BJtfrge of one of the departments of tha h.igii school of ilinneapolis. Desir­ing to round out his education, he went to Berlin, Germatsy, nd entered upon a post­graduate course of political *nd.s«)cial aeience In th e University of Berlin. H e al­so spent one term In College of France in Paris. ;

The neV principal enjoys the distinction of having been a feliow of. political and social science in Cornell University otie year, and received his degree of Ph. D, in 1897 from the University of Pennsylvania, where fit* was also & fellow In political science. He cqmes from Brooklyn to Asbury Park. A t Brooklyn he was eaeistant pro­fessor of economics in Adelphi college.

taking fishermen, tried to land a surf boat a t the foot of Pilgrim Pathway, Ocean Grove, a t three o’clock Wednesday 'and were capsized by the breakers. Edward waa injured by being hurled againBt the boat. The two managed to reach shore without as- gistanoe. The life save/ from De?.; smd Avon stations were on hand to render as­sistance. , !

—Patents were*_. granted last week to Thomas Foy of Freehold, o n . a' lock; to Charles Beimuler of; Belmsf, on a car ven­tilator, and to Saajuel Bunting of Asbury Park, on a dipper.
