A Toboggan Slide.

Certain gentlemen in the town are
trying to interest parties in erecting
toboggan slide, whereby our citizens
could have the most hilarious and ex-
citing coasting ever known. There
are several available sites for this pur-
pose, and gentleman who is well in
formed upon all these matters say
that splendid slide 800 feet long
could be erected for $100. When no
snow is upon the ground saw dust can
be put upon the slide and covered
with water, which soon freezes and the
best of slides is prepared. Few cities
of any size are now without their to-
boggan slides, and of course the agita-
ton must commence in Bridgeton.
We opine that ere long the toboggan
slide will be the popular place OF WIN
ter pleasure for our young folks-and
older ones too.

An Outrage.

An Outrage.
One of the grossest abuses that it
is possible for any authorities to heap
upon a man, was imposed upon Chas.
Harris, of Port Norris, on Saturday
last, by the officers of the Vineland
Bank and Constables Wells and Clark,
of Millville.
On Saturday, a note for $159.OO
drawn on Millville bank, signed by
James Smith, of Dragstown, and in
dorsed by Isaac B. Milford, was pre-
sented to the Vineland National Bank.
The person presenting the note was a
man about five feet high, sandy hair
and smooth face. The man did not
succeed in getting the note cashed, as
the officials were somewhat suspicious
The signature was pronounced q for
gerry, and warrant was issued for the
arrest of Charles Harris, an employee
of Ewing g. Ware, Port Norris.
Armed with this warrant Constables
Wells and Clark, of Vineland, pro-
ceeded to Port Norris where they ar
rested Harris. Mr.. Harris does not
answer the description of the man at
all, as he stands about 6 feet high. dark
hair and moustache. Before taking
Harris from Port Norris the Constables
told his wife and also hotel keeper
Middleton that Harris was not the
man wanted, but Notwithstanding they
drove him over to Vineland. When
taken before the Vineland Bank Off
cials they Immediately announced that
he was not the man wanted. Harris
was then released and his fare paid TO
Millville, and from there he was COM
pelled to walk to Port Norris in the
drenching rain.
Mr.. Harris is well known in Port
Norris. and his friends are very indig-
nant at the manner in which he was
handled by the officers, and are loud
in denunciation of their action.

Jewelry Store Robbed.

A bold robbery was perpetrated on
Wednesday evening last in G. A. Ap-
plebee's watch and clock repairing
establishment. in Persons block,
Vineland. Mr.. Applebee left his place
of business about six o'clock to go to
his supper. He returned shortly after
ward, and found that some one had
entered the store and carried off twenty
silver watches, worth some 5000. The
thief or thieves were evidently hard
pressed for time, and were novices, as
they dropped three watches, and failed
to disturb the money drawer, or q lot
of gold spectacles. The watches were
mostly the property of outside parties,
who had left them with Mr.. Applebee
to be repaired. The robbers gained
admittance to the store by taking out
the upper half of window sash in
back room. No clue has yet been OBJ
tanned by which the rogues are likely
to be detected.

If there be any man in the country
who can better than another estimate
the value of advertising, that man is
PIT .Barnum, and this is what he told
meeting of business men of Bridge
port, Conn, few days ago: "You do
not any ofyou advertise enough. You
ought to use printers ink every day
You are asleep and want your business
to run itself. Standing advertisements
in newspaper command confidence.
The man who for a year lives in one
community and leads a reputable life,
even though he be of moderate abil-
ity, will grow in the confidence and es-
TEEN of his fellows. On the same prin'
ciple a newspaper advertisement be-
comes familiar in the eyes of the rea-
der 1t may be seldom be read, still it
makes the name and business of the
man familiar, and its presence in the
columns of a paper inspires confidence
in the stability of its enterprise.

Mr.. P. P. Phillips store in Bate

robbed Friday night The store was
closed about nine o'clock, everything
safe and sound. When Mr.. Phillips
returned at o'clock this morning, he
found that the side glass of the bulk
window in his shoe store was broken.
and that thieves had gained admission
through the aperture into his place
of business. Entering the store. the
rascals pried the money drawer off the
counter and carried it away 1t did
not contain anything of value, as Mr..
Phillips had taken the money out be-
fore leaving at night. Before depart
ing they took from five to ten pounds
of chewing tobacco, and about two
hundred segars. Mr.. Phillips thinks
the thieves took number of articles
that he cannot yet discover, but their
principal object seems to have been
money. Certain parties are suspected,
and they will be ferreted out if pos
sible.

REV. JOSEPH ATWOOD.
He Falls Dead at his Home in
Camden.

Rev. Joseph Atwood. of the New
Jersey M. E. Conference, died of apo
plexy at his residence No. 729 Federal
street Camden, on Saturday. He was in
his eighty third year, and one of the
oldest ministers in the State. During
the day he was apparently in good
health, having shaved himself in the
morning, and attended to his usual
duties as was his custom. About four
o'clock in the afternoon while sitting
in his chair, he was stricken down,
and died almost Immediately. De
ceased was a brother of Rev. Anthony
Atwood, and had been a member of
the New Jersey Conference over a
half a century. For several years he
had been on the supernumerary list
and was preparing to preach his semi
centennial sermon at the next session
of Conference in March, 1887.
Mr.. Atwood was married four times.
A few years ago he came to Bridgeton
to live, and while here married Mrs.
Newkirk, widow of Capt. Moses Hus-
ted. Within short time afterward
Mrs. Atwood died, and Mr.. Atwood
moved to Asbury Park where he mar
ried again. The fourth marriage was
of brief duration, and the aged minis
ter becoming a widower again, re-
turned to Bridgeton. Last Spring he
moved to Camden, where he has since
resided.
While residing in Bridgeton, Mr..
Atwood, although occupying super
numerary relation, took an active
interest in church work. He was
present every Sunday at Commerce
Street M. E. Church, and took part in
the services, so that he became a
familiar figure in the pulpit, to which
he was always invited. At his home
i on Jefferson street, in the Second
ward, during his period of residence
here, it is said that Mr.. Atwood per
formed more marriages than all the
other ministers OF Bridgeton together.
He was an eccentric character, but an
earnest Christian, and went about do
| ing good work wherever he thought
he could be of service

A. E. HUGHES, ESQ.
He Dies Suddenly at his Home
Thursday Morning.

Artis E. Hughes, Esq, one of Bridge
toms well known citizens, died sud
denly little before four o'clock Thurs
day morning, having been stricken
with paralysis. Mr.. Hughes has been
in poor health for some time past, but
he was down town yesterday afternoon
at his place of business on Commerce
street. Ever since last Spring he has
been under the doctors care, and it is
said has been liable to sudden death
at any time, owing to his enfeebled
condition.
Mr. Hughes was born on December
Sd, 1906, in Cape May County near
Cape Island. When quite young
man he went to Philadelphia and
entered into an apprenticeship with
tailor He did not finish his trade
there but came to Bridgeton when
about twenty-one years old, entered
The employment of Mr.. Crook, a
tailor. with whom he graduated a first
class workman. Shortly afterward he
began business for himself in a little
place located in an old building near the
Commerce street bridge, where Carl's
building now stands. He was success
full, and later on purchased the prop
erty near the County building, which
he occupied for time, but afterward
| improved and rented to Fithian u
Hood, grocers, and T. U. Harris u
Co., boot and shoe dealers.
Early in life he began taking an
active interest in politics, and was an
ardent Whig, devotedly attached to
the principles of that party. When
the Whig party dissolved he became a
| Democrat, and has ever since acted
with that organization. For thirty
wears he held the Office of Justice of
the Peace, in which position he gained
considerable local fame, being con-
| sidered one of the best Justices in the
county. He was also Commissioner of
Deeds and Notary Public for long
while. He took a great interest in
Building Associations, and was one of
| the first members of the earliest society
started here. Since 1866, when it was
organized, he has occupied the position
of President of the Bridgeton Saving
Fund and Building Association, per-
iod of over twenty years.
Squire Hughes, as he was familiarly
| termed about town, was one of our
most successful business men. By
good Judgment and efulinvestments
he accumulated handsome fortune,
| the lowest estimate of his wealth being
$5O,OOO. The Squire was married but
once, his wife being Miss Ann II. Tom
linson, to whom he was united in 1880.
They had four children, only two OF
whom lived to womanhood. One of
the daughters died few years ago,
and Mrs. Hughes recently. The re-
manning daughter, Mrs. Isaac Connor,
lived with her father, and is his sole
heir

On Wednesday afternoon at the
West Jersey Depot. Miss Lucy Bacon,
of Dividing Creek, sustained a severe
fall The Port Norris train had ran
into the depot and the West Jersey
had followed suit. The passengers
from the Port Norris train to Phila-
delphia are transferred from one train
to the other by plank thrown across
the platforms of the cars. As she was
going across she made mis-step and
fell to the track between the two
trains. She was Immediately assisted
to arise when it was found that with
the exception of severe jarring she
had sustained no injury.

More Greenwich Criticisms.

Lest we may have incurred, by be-
ing misunderstood, the ill will of the
ladies concerned, in our last letter, we
beg to be allowed to stand up and
make clear statement.
For any and all true ,comen (who are
always ladies'" be their station what
it may), we have the very greatest
respect in the world, yielding to none
in this particular, and therefore we
did not mean to make invidious COM
woman" is not a lady. She may be,
but to use the term LADY" after
"sales," can neither make or unmake
a woman. That any one should insist
upon the silly word, argues that she
feels herself in a degraded position
when standing behind the counter.
My dear miss or madam, don't think
it for moment. If you will only cul-
tivate all womanly virtues, and show
by your actions that you possess those
qualities of heart and mind which go
to make woman the best and most
lovable thing in nature, then you will
never lack for compliments, and every
body will say you are a 'lady," whether
they say "sales-lady" or not.
And now as to the starving sewing
women of the large cities-their un-
willingness to degrade themselves by
hiring to work in somebody's kitchen
is meant by themselves to show spirit
that is above servitude. The spirit is
very good one: it is natural to Dem
ocratic America. That we have no
real good servants, native, is due to
| the fact that Americans are not born
to it; they have spirit above it. ;"
But circumstances alter cases. 1t is
not degrading for my mother to work
in her own kitchen, or my sister; then
it is not the work that degrades. What
is it? If labor is degrading, it is equally
so in the little garret at home over the
sewing machine and in the strangers
kitchen over the cook stove or range.
OF course we all know what the trouble
is-the fear of losing caste. of being
set down socially. Well. if there is any
danger here, the sooner it is broken
down the better. If the hard-worked
housekeeper, farmers wife, and Others
will not accord to her kitchen assistant
social equality where it is merited,
then let her suffer for it. That social
equality is not accorded is due to want
of merit generally. But where the
girl" is an American and in intel
lectual attachments, and in moral char
acter, as we'll as good breeding, she is
fitted to associate with the family of
her employer, she never has anything
to complain of from her mistress in the
treatment received If she knows her
self to be totally uncongenial, having
nothing in common with her mistress
that they can enjoy together, she must
not expect to be received on social
equality. AJAX.

Seriously Injured.

Friday morning at about quarter of
six o'clock, an accident happened
which resulted in seriously injuring
William Weldy, an employee of the
Cumberland Nail and Iron Works.
Jesse Penn and William Weldy were
piling up sheet iron in the Sheet Mill,
when the pile they were at work upon,
containing several tons, toppled over
catching the two men as it fell Penn
escaped with but slight bruises, but
Weldy was more unfortunate. The
iron fell upon his legs, tearing and
lacerating the flesh, and severely
straining one of the tendons. For "a
time it was thought that the leg was
broken, but it was happily discovered
that it was not. He was taken home
in Ballenger's coach, and medical aid
summoned. 1t was very fortunate
circumstance for both of the men that
they were not fatally injured.

The citizens of Hammonton are
raising purse to be presented to Miss
Nellie Fogg, the school teacher who
extinguished the flames in the public
school last week and prevented panic
among the 400 pupils. The fire origi-

fought the flames with no assistance.
By the aid of flower .sprinkling can
and half dozen table covers she put
out the fire.
