BOONTON.

EDITOR GAZETTE AS you have stated in
the GAZETTE the temperance people of Boon
ton have gained great victory in their recent
charter election. But they have also made a
very strange discovery By vote of nearly
two to one they elected mayor and common
council pledged to grant no license. This was
the victory. Now what about the discovery {?
They supposed that the courts of law existed
to check vice and protect the rights of the
people. But our court has tramped upon the
rights of the people and stimulated vice by
licensing house for the sale of Intoxicating
drinks a few feet outside of our corporation
limits Our people are satisfied with the &C.
commodation for travellers provided by one of
the best hotels in this part of the state-a no.
tel which prospers without bar. The wishes
of the people were plainly declared at the polls
Our mayor and several of our citizens ap-
peared before the court with an earnest pro-
test against the effort to override the popular
will by the license of saloon Just outside of
the town. It's location is not at all one fitted
to make it an accommodation to the travelling
public. Yet, to the complete surprise of our
people, the application has been granted, and
a public nuisance planted by the court just
outside the control of our city government
| notice that the GAZETTE has given some
account of the action of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church at Saratoga, on
the subject of temperance. But l have no.
where seen mention made in any of the pa
pers of the ringing speech of the moderator
before the Womans Christian Temperance
Union. The trumpet blown by Rev. DR..
Hays, the chosen leader of the general assem-
bly,, gave no uncertain sound. He earnestly
advocated prohibitory amendment, which
he claimed would enforce itself, viz: That
any man convicted of selling intoxicating
drinks should be DISTINGUISHED and prevented
from appearing before any court of law as
plaintiff in any case. man who defies pub
lie sentiment and seeks to destroy public
morality deserves to forfeit his vote and the
protection of the civil courts. If such pro-
hibitory amendment were adopted, when a
convicted liquor-dealer should appear at the
polls to vote, his political opponents would
be ready to challenge his vote. Any attempt
of his to appear as plaintiff before a court
would be speedily and effectually met by the
lawyer for his opponent
Referring to the threat that if we would be
satisfied with nothing less than prohibition
the liquor-dealers and their friends would
fight in defence of the traffic, DR.. Hays pro-
fessed his readiness for such war,-declar-
ing that he would rather bury his son shot by
drunken mob while fighting against intem-
perance, than lay him in drunkard's grave.
The manly, christian stand of the GAZETTE
is such as makes it pleasure to me to conf
mend it to my friends. Cordially yours,

THROWING THE BOOMERANG.

The boomerang is a piece of thin wood
about an inch and a half wide, an eighth of
an inch thick, and perhaps twenty inches
long; its shape VARIES sometimes like the
segment of circle, at others like mans
arm bent at the elbow; but the way of using
both these forms is exactly the same. The
weapon is grasped at one end in the right
hand, with the concave side uppermost. and
the blackman takes a run such as the ordinary
Englishman does when he is throwing
cricket ball. On a sudden he stops, and away
flies the boomerang, not straight as one might
suppose, but revolving on its axis so quickly
that in the air it looks like circular piece of
board; this motion gives it the wonderful
power of flight which really must be seen TO
be believed At first the course is in direct
line from the thrower at such height as he
may require, but as it draws towards the limit
of its distance it swerves slightly to the right
and making semicircle coming back on an
exactly opposite course to that which it took
on the outward journey, generally falling
within few feet of the thrower. During the
flight the revolving of the boomerang causes
peculiar purring sound, not unlike the hum
of top.

don't they have better ventilation? If /

Presently slender female sitting directly

just as leave close that window now, as the

l could not live with it down. l was just
thinking how delightful it was with it open,
now you want it shut, but l shall not shut it
so there
Then you are selfish thing, and shall

Just then a gentleman sitting close by
reached over and said Ladies, that window
now being raised makes no difference, as the
car has double windows, and not breath of
air can possibly get through the one that is
still down"
Then the one that had raised the window
turned to the other, and with crushed look
on her face said: Madam. I beg your par
don, but I think two fools have met at last.

Men of low intellectual endowment with a
taste for strong drink will derive much CON-
fort from the result of one of the latest ex-
periments which the French temperance
society has been making on the alcoholiza-
ton of pigs. The experiments which were
commenced in 1879 on number of pigs of
the so-called Anglo-Chinese breed have been
continued ever since. Each pig was kept in
a separate sty, but twice day they were all
fed together in an adjoining yard Alcohol
was mixed with their food, and after each
meal they all fell into Sleep but showed no
signs of excitement, except now and then a
slight muscular trembling. The difference
of the effect on human beings and pigs is be-
lieved to arise from the smallness of a pigs
brains, for the larger the brains the more
dangerous the effect of intoxication. Hence
although the companions of st. Anthony may
occasionally indulge in their taste for juniper
they are in no danger of being attacked by
delirium tremens Pail Mall Gazette.

ROCK AND RYE CANDY.
What it is Made of-Essence Of Whiskey and Fuse
0i-An Examination by the Brooklyn Health De-
partment.

partment
Robert Wilkinson, superintendent of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, recently presented half
pound of ''rock and ryen candy to Health
Commissioner Raymond, of Brooklyn, and
requested him to have an examination made
of the ingredients contained therein. DIR. E.
FL. Barley chemist, of the Health Depart
ment, this morning submitted a report to the
commissioner of an analysis of the sample
shown him in which he says that the candy
is a straw yellow color and made into oblong
rounded Jumps, weighing about forty-fve
grains each" This candy is made of cane
sugar and favored with essence of whiskey
or fusel oil. " The fusel oil as determined
by me, says DIR. Barley, lin two samples, is
approximately 1853 grains per pound" A.
W. Blythe, in his work on Foods and Poi
sons" page 204, says the smallest amount of
fusel oil giving effect is three grains and a
whiskey containing II grains per ounce is in
furious to health. Rabiteau says .05 grains,
or less than that, found in pound of candy
gives strong symptoms of poisoning. The
fatal dose of fusel oil is stated by this author
ity to be from IA to 1.6 grains, or the guam
tity found in two pounds of the candy. The
effects of smaller quantity is to produce
dizziness, headache, sense of falling and suf-
location. These effects, with an irritative
cough are produced by the sugar. In some
of these candies the oil is not thoroughly
mixed or diffused, and occasionally good
sized cavity filled with it may be found. Es-
timating that child may buy and eat half
pound of this candy, containing z grains of
the oil, it will be seen that it will take the
maximum medical dose for an adult, and will
probably experience distinct symptoms such
as dizziness, headache, or even slight intox-
ication''

as has lately been the custom. A picnic or

is generally scene of more or less drunkenness

the habit of drinking among our people, and
to do this we are taking measures to lessen
the temptation to drink. Of course. there are
those who will have their drink in spite of all
that can be done, and such persons attend
picnics and excursions with bottles or TASKS
in their pockets, and that can't very well be
prevented. But open bars can be-" This

The tactics of both parties remind US of
story We heard some years ago, of the tactics
of an Indiana politician, who wanted to go to
congress. When he first made his desire
known to his friends, they laughed at him,
and told him he could not be elected. But
he insisted that he could. Finally his friends
asked him to detail his plan of operation to
secure the coveted result. We'll" he said,
1--WE will call our friends together, and we
will frame platform which will be to the in
terest of all the knaves to support. Each
knave will be able to control two fools, and
the fools and knaves constitute majority,
and [ will be elected" He carried out his
programme and to the establishment of his
friends, he reached the coveted position by
the combined votes of the knayes and fools of
his district. Our great political parties have
been for years constructing their platforms on
the liquor question on the same principle, and
they have caught the knaves, and the knaves
have led the fools to the polls and voted them.
But the sober, moral, conscientious christian
men of both parties have concluded that they
will not be led like fools by the knaves of
the parties any longer. The reign of the
knaves must cease. We hereby notify the old
parties that this thing will be tolerated no
longer. The knaves must go.-1he CSmeter.

Rev DR. Herrick Johnson, writing of 1.-The
High Claims of High License" says: Look
at Bloomington, Ill. where high license has
prevailed for something like ten years; long
enough, surely, to justify pretty decided
Judgment There the unlicensed places are
declared to outnumber the licensed. There
an alderman rises in his official seat and
argues for the reduction of license as matter
of justice, on the ground that there are thirty or
forty places in his ward alone where liquor is
sold without license. And Captain Riebsame,
the owner of one of its gin palaces, rivalling
Chicago's best gided haunts, first president
of the State Liquor Dealers Association, Re-
publican and delegate to the late State con-
vention at Peoria, said recently in the Bloom
ington Leader, over his own signature, We
liquor dealers who pay our license of $500
per year, could afford to pay 81 900 a year if
we were protected against infringements of
our business by unlicensed parties. Yet
Bloomington is cited as a sample of the beau
ties of high license"
