Electricity In Water.

Our conceptions of strength and endur-

ments and mechanical arrangements that IL
Is hard to cast them aside, and yet tho stream
of electric fire that splits an ash is not
ponderable thing, and the way in which the
loadstone reaches the ten pound weight ia
not perceptible. You would think the man

Faraday, the great chemist, lays claim to
have demonstrated that each drop of water
is the sheath of electric force sufficient to

The Paterson Press speaks of a
business man in that city who had been
using "cheap and nasty printing in
his bill.heads, cards, etc. He has at
last become Disguised, and says he is
done with that sort of business, and it
makes him sick every time he handles
the stuff, and also makes him feel as il
he was +" cheap and nasty" concern
himself. The Press adds Our friend
was right. Tt ought to make any one
sick, and does make those who know
what good printing is, to see the miser-
able specimens of typography which so
many of our business men content them
selves with, in the mistaken notion that
they are saving money. They save no
money in the end, for, even if the job
costs them trifie less in the outset than
first. class work would have done, yet
they must not forget that men are gagged
by their surroundings. A shabby store
brings shabby customers. If man is
seen to equip himself in a mean and
cheap way for business, he is guaged ac-
cordingly, and customers of large means
and liberal ideas are apt to avoid him.
This proposition needs no proof. 1t
appeals to reason and logic II man
wants to be rated as dealer in first
class goods, he must present to the
world first.class equipment for bust
ness. And il his cards, his bill-heads,
his circulars or his advertisements do
not speak for him as man who has
large and liberal ideas Of noatness and
elegance. he may be sure that the pub
lie will mark that fact"

The indictment for perjury against
lawyer Voorhees,, CT Pennington, was
quashed in the Somerset Courts by Judge
Magic. The indictment was held to be
defective because it did not set out with
sufficient certainty the time and place
when the perjury was committed. The
Judge wished to have the question taken
to the Supreme Court without his decid-
ing it, but Mr.. Voorhees, didn't wish to
wait, but wanted it settled one way or
the other at once, 80 the Court set aside
the indictment. 1t is probable that this
will be the last Of it, though that will de-
pend much upon the future of Hunterdon
county politics. If Voorhees, keeps quiet
he may be allowed to rest in peace, but IL
he kicks the traces too violently, he will
doubtless be again drawn up to the
rack. Warren Democrat. ~.

Tramps.
Last Monday morning the Sheriff threw
open the door of county Jail and dischar-
ged the tramps illegally confined at the
expense of the county. All those here
after arrested and committed to the Jail
will be committed at hard labor, and be
obliged to crack stone or whatever other
work that can be found for them to do,
from which the county will realize rea-
sonable compensation for the expense of
keeping such tramps. On Tuesday even
ing seven or eight came to the Jail and
expressed their willingness to work and
were accordingly committed to the Jail at
hard labor for the term of four months,
and hereafter any tramp or tramps CON-
ing to this place will on complaint be
committed for six months. On We'd
Wednesday morning the tramps were set
to work cracking stone, and If they relish
this work then we are willing to subscribe
to that gospel precept, "The laborer is
worthy of his hire, /" and they should be
fed, but the manner of keeping 80 or 60
tramps continuously at the expense of
the county, when poverty is staring in the
face of many of our citizens, is not right,
and we have yet the first thoughtful per-
son to express his views in a different
manner. We understand that some of
the Justices of the Peace are committing
the tramps under the law against "Dis-
orderly persons" When this is done we
will expect the Justices to give the Often
der the full extent of the law, "three
months, and the law requires that they
shall be committed at hard labor. If this
is done the county can during the Spring
get something out of the labor of these
persons to repay us for the money laid
out for keeping by the Sheriff and for ap-
prehension. Under the 'disorderly act"
the convict must serve out his full term
and cannot be discharged by the jailer or
custodian after ten days good behavior,
as he could under the Tramp act.-Den'o-
crat Adyertiser.

Some years ago policeman Hill, +"
and the justices of the peace in Lambert
vile, got severe censure frem the ''coun-
ty'' papers because he arrested tramps
and had them committed to the county
Jail, according to law. Now it appears
that some Pennington justices have for
some months been committing tramps
to Jail illegally, but there was neither cry
nor voice from the county papers. The
Board of Freeholders, however, saw that
the bills were getting too big for the pa
tient taxpayer, and ordered halt. The
Sheriff last Monday opened the doors of
the Jail and discharged a number that
were illegally committed. Hereafter none
will be received unless they are properly
committed, and they will be set at bard
labor.

Speaking of old coins, the Hunter
don Democrat says: "Mr. T. q. Ha-
ward showed us number of silver and
copper coins one day last week that
makes us brave enough to challenge the
town to beat him. One English shilling
coined during the reign of James I, in
the year 1905, is as perfect in all its
parts rs it was the day it came from the
mint. An English sixpence, bearing the
plain date of 1888, next claimed our at
tention. This coin IS as thin as wafer,
but probably no thinner now than it
was three hundred years ago. We might
here mention that the date on this coin
is the same as Mr.. Haward's father (the
late Peter Haward) claimed to be on his
fathers house in old England. Next
came curious Roman coin issued by
the Emperor Vespasian in the year A.
D. 69-about 1877 years ago. And then
two small Roman copper coins, issued
in the year 266, met our eye, and we
told friend Harvard we had seen enough
to convince us that he had the drop on
all Hunterdon. These coins, together
with several quarts more of the same
sort, belonged originally to the late
Peter Haward."
