a great number of articles, largely Inn
ported from the United States, have
boen fixed at $40 per ton. The change
has been ayowcdly made for the pur-
pose ct successful competition with
American railways. The Central road,
through line from the United States,
has bean able to land goods here In
competition with the Vera
Cruz line and It's New
York connection, the A,exandria limo
OF steamers. The reduction made by
the Vera Cruz line is the first decided
move against American railway com-
pelition, and the mercantile commu.

will bring about war in freight rates
and still further reduction. The

They've Got Us.-TempOrariIy.

In our issue of Dec. 18th, we mentioned an
old copy of the Ulster County Gazette,
dated Jan. 4, 1900, left with us by a Sharp
town friend. The Camden Democrat copied
part of our item, changing the date of the
paper to 1850, and gave us a lot ofslack on
the subject, intimating that the paper had
only been printed about a month previous.
We scissored the item as it appeared in
the Democrat, and reprinted it with the
Democrats comments and our own, losing
sight of the discrepancy in date Qucky for
the Democrat that we did, whereupon the
sharp-eyed South J~rseyman neglects its
proof-reading to come for us in manner
following, copying our Democrat reprint in
stead of our original and correct ccoun
''Such a paper is indeed a curiosity. 1t
shows that even i'll those days there was
sucn a thing as newspaper enterprise.
How the GazeHe of 1880 could predict and
mourn in advance the death of Gen.
Washington, which did not take place
until 1893, nineteen years later, passes our
comprehension.
And now we 'spect the s. j. thinks it
has done itself proud.

A Large building.

We were shown yesterday the plan of
the new building to be erected o II Salem
street by f. b. Humphreys. If carried out
according to the plan, it will present a fine
appearance, and be an ornament to the
business part ofour town. Mr.. Humphreys
has concluded to increase the depth of
the building to 70 feet. We suggested that
the second floor would make a fine public
hall, easy of access, well shaped and roomy,
but he did not seem disposed to adopt the
suggestion. We hope that he may event
ually conclude to devote it to that purpose.
The Borough Council should permanently
locate the building line before work is COM
meneed. as it would involve considerable
expense to the owner should he be COM
PEELED to move the structure after COM
pletion,

Bank Holidays.

Some people have the idea that whenever
the Bank is closed for a holiday the officers
and clerks are, as a matter of course, on
enioying the brief vacation afforded; Dni'
in the majority of such instances, tins Is
not the case. Although no business Is
transacted at the counter and the doors are
closed. the clerks will be found on the IN
side. working diligently over their books,
and welcoming the holiday rather as an OPP
p%ortunity for uninterrupted work than as
q rpsnite from labor. This was the case
At our Bank yesterday. Other people have
an idea that because the officials are inside
either on holidays, or before or after bank
inc hours. they should transact any busi-
ness that comes; but this equally a mis-
take. Banks have their regular hours Tor
transaeting business with the pupllcc: me
remainder Of the time they require Tor the
work Of the Institution, correspondence, &c.'
when they should not be Interrupted. 1t Is
a pure matter of courtesy for the oticers 70
accommodate people outside ofbank hours,
but it is seldom taken or appreciated as
such.

Man Against Horse.

One of the events of New Years day was
a race for a purse of so. between William
Seagraves, running, and William Fox's
PAGER, under the saddle, 100 yards and
turn, go~-as-you-please. The event came
off on East Avenue, the course being from
the corner of the station grounds to the
lower side of |. C.. Shinn's lot. About 200
people assembled to see the fun. The
start was made from the upper end of the
course. Seagraves made good time and at
the turn gained a good start on the home
stretch, but the horse proved too speedy
and Seagraves was beaten by about Is
yards. The affair did not last long but
created considerable amusement while it
did last.

Rev. Mr.. White, formerly pastor of
the NJ. E.. Church at Mullica Hill,
after an illness of more than four
months died on Sunday, December 2Sth,
in a private room at Jefferson Medi-
cal College, Philadelphia. His sufferings
during his whole illness were terrible, but
during the last two weeks they seemed al
most beyond endurance, and yet it was
only on Christmas day that he gave up the
idea of getting well; then on being told
that he could not live much longer he
thanked God that his su~fferings would
soon cease" He also remarked the same
day that ''he was only waiting" His
death has made sad not only a church but an
entire community, for, as has been said,
never was a pastor more beloved by a peo-
pie than Mr.. White by his. The addresses
that he has delivered ON different subjects,
as well as his sermons from the pulpit
have always been highly appreciated by
all, and it can truthfully be said that he
died a friend to everyone and an enemy to
no man. Although we very much regret
having to lose our beloved pastor and deep
ly sympathize with the bereaved family
over their sufferings, let us not linger
around his grave. Since it has been the
will of the Almighty, through his wise
providence, to take away from us our
leader, let us follow our present ambassa-
dor and do the duty set before us and the
church will again prosper.

ASSETS.
Balance on hand,

The expenditures above include the
amount paid out on loans to stockholders
and others. The running expenses are
small, being for all items only 1888. 80 for
the year, of which s161. 63 is for taxes, s105
for salaries of Secretary and Treasurer and
s21.1 10 for rent, janitors's fees and inciden-
tails. The investments have not been confined
to stockholders, the demand for money by
that class having been light. Loans to
outside parties on good paper AVE largely
exceeded loans to stockholders. although
the latter always have the preference.
The following is the value of shares in
each series of stock now running. The
first series has long since matured and
been closed out.
