sense of the term. You may convince

scientist led us into the adjoining room
and showed ms his preparations. On a
pedestal stood bust OF a female, made
of copper-colored metal. The finest

hands were produced with wonderful
minutencss. Motta informed Us that

THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION

The publications issued under the auspices
of the "Citizens Association" have attracted
attention to San Antonio to an unprecedented
degree. Especially has its morris as a resort
for the health-seeker and winter tourist, been
brought to the front very prominently. The
distribution of these publications has been
widespread, and, as a consequence, this city
had an unusually large number of visitors
and prospective investors last winter. There
are indications that the ensuing winter will
bring us crowds of desirable people. The
Citizens Association feel encouraged by the
results thus far accomplished, and do not pur-
pose allowing the good work to cease. Under
their direction, special edition of p COO copies
of a descriptive pamphlet will be issued short
ly, illustrated with prominent buildings and
places of interest. Special pains are being
taken to make the work suggestive and COM
prehensive. A few advertisements will be per
mitted, and the Association commend their
solicitor to the advertising public, whenever
he calls upon them for their cards. As the eX-
pense will be larger than the ordinary funds
of the Association would meet, the insertion
of select advertisements has been deemed
advisable. l.. NJ. GREGORY,
Secretary,

A Local Option victory.

The local option election in Cumberland
county on Tuesday resulted in an over
whelming majority for the temperance
people. Latest returns from the county
show a majority of 1875 for no license, not
counting sixteen votes which were not
properly worded. The canvass made by
both parties was thorough and energetic,
though it had all along been a foregone
conclusion that the county would go dry
by at least eight hundred or a thousand
majority. Temperance men and saloon
keepers worked at the polls all day. The
latter class, of course, did no open work,
but distributed CASH freely where it was
supposed votes could be secured. 1t is
stated that over three thousand dollars
were used by the whisky interest through
out the county. The ladies of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union held prayer
meetings in their rooms all day while the
polls were open. The day passed very
pleasantly and no drunken brawls or other
disturbances are reported. The de-
tails of the vote indicate that two-thirds OF
the entire vote of the county was out. 1t
is estimated that a trife over six thousand
votes were polled. Bridgeton, the county
seat, which for several years has been
''dry," because its city council refused to
grant licenses. gave fifty majority
for license. In Landis township, which
includes the borough of Yineland, 1906
votes, which is very close to the vote on
Assembly last fall, were polled. OF these
795 were against and 301 for license.
Vineland has always been a prohibition
town, licenses for retailing liquor being
barred by its charter. In Millviile, the
leading industrial city of South Jersey,
$500 names were on the registry and but
1889 votes were polled. Out of this vote
the ''drys'" majority was 913. The Third
ward of Bridgetou went ''dry' by one ma
jority. In the First Assembly district,
embracing Bridgeton and several outlying
towns and villages, the exact majority is
964 against license, as follows: Bridge
ton city, majority for license, so; Fairfield
township, against, 67; Lawrence township,
against, 246; Downe township, against. 292;
Commercial township, against, 27G; Hope
well township, against, so; Greenwich
township, against, 46; Stoe Creek town.

Mn. EDIToR:-Wil you please allow one
of your readers just a little space in your
paper for a few words in regard TO the
election to be held in Salem county on
Tuesday next.
Now some of our respectable people are
saying that if they were certain that this
local option bill would not close up the
quart places, they would vote against it.
Now it seems to me to be simply 4 case
where the people have a chance to say
whether rum or no rum shall rule, and as
there are a good many of the men who
drink this vile stuff who are going to vote
against rum, does it not become the duty of
every good and respectable voter to help
these men along by voting for no rum
also? Let us follow the golden rule in
this case and most assnredly s'no rum"
will be the verdict when the votes are
counted off next Tuesday. Let the good
news from Cumberland give us hope, and
let us go forth not only to battle but also
to win. BELL.

having they were not much disappointed.
The day was only interrupted by the heavy
thunder shower which came up in the af-
ternoon, SO they were obliged to seek shell
ter in the big market wagon and drive
rapidly to the nearest hotel, where they
were kindly cared for, but as soon as the
shower had passed over they started for
their destinations, having enough fish for
a good breakfast, providing the family was
not too large.
