GET READY TO SHOOT,
PROSPECTS FOR SPORT THEs
FALh.
Game Reported Unusually Pien-
tIfui Owing TO the Wild Win
ter--GunnerS S.gubilant.

The prospects for fall shooting in
South jersey were never more favor
able than now. There are more rab-
bits than have been seen for years and
quail are plentiful. This is owing to
the wet season. The swamps being
full OF water the birds have hatched
their young and the rabbits selected
their breeding places on high ground
In dry seasons these game animals and
birds select any place to breed and the
heavy storms drown many.
1t is many years since so many field
plover have visited the lower counties.
The fields are full of them and many
have been shot. These are usually
shot FROM carriages. A man in a
vehicle can approach within a few
yards of this game bird, where they
will flee at the approach of a man on
foot fifty or 100 yards away. Some
bull head plover have been shot
When raised, the first shot can be used
as stool, and the remainder of the
flock will circle about and return to
the same place where the bird is sup
posed to be feeding.
Not only are these upland birds more
plentiful than they have been for years,
but yellow legs and other seacoast
birds are found in large and numerous
hocks, and snipe are shot in some sec
tions from the piazzes of dwellings.
Sportsmen predict that reed birds
will be plentiful during the coming
season, which opens on September l.
A number have already been seen by
persons cunning after hjackbirds.
The reeds are rank and fu of seeds,
and everything is Favorable for sue
cessful season of shooting. The open
season for marsh hens began last Sun
day, the 25th.
Blackbirds are reported scarce, al
though small number are marketed
daily. Gunners say that hey are
very scarce as compared with last sea
son at this time.
The season for deer will not open
until November 2, 1890, and the pros
poets for deer shooting then are good.
The close season of the past two years
has increased the large game wonder
fully. Traces of these animals have
been found as far up as Winslow, and
the Atlantic county people say there
are lots of them in the vicinity of
Beuna Vista, Doughty's Tavern and
Weymouth, while in Cumberland
, county many traces are seen.
September is generally good month
to test the sportsman's mettle and skill
and, with perseverance, he is sure to
return laden with small game. Nor
will he need any soothing syrupt to WOO
his natural rest; his peregrinations will
bring both appetite, fatigue and STAN

Good Races by Boats Oh Thurs
(tay.

Thursday was a big day at Sea
Breeze. the annual regatta taking
place, and the races were hotly con-
tested. The race was sailed under the
rules governing races given heretofore
there. They were a grand success,
and the great crowd of people were
very happy at the fine sight presented
The judges were, Firman bowman and
Leonard Chance, of Newport; Enoch
V. Locke, Dividing Creek. DR.. j. P
Miller, of Philadelphia, acted as time
keeper. The starting signal was the
firing of gun.
The first prize for schooners was a
handsome sixteen feet pennant flag.
The schooners contesting were De
land" Ada Sholl," }" and ''Tidal Wave" p"
The ''Sholl" won the race, her time
being 1.5S. The "Wave" was second,
her time being 2.O3.
The sloop race was for twelve feet
pennant flag. The Sylvan DELI
came in first, time 2.O3. The other
sloops and the positions at the finish
were ''Bicycle," ''Francis J. Dare"
''Star Light" The LENA and Lima
was badly disabled, and did not finish
the race.

Vineland Fire.

The barn, house and corn crib stand
ing on the w. o. Smith place, corner
of Brewster road and Chestnut avenue,
Vineland, were burned to the ground
Thursday morning. The house was
unoccupied, Mr.. Smiths family living
in town, and how the fire started
seems to be mystery. The house
contained few crops, and the barn
three tons of hay. The barn was a
pretty good building. Mr.. Smith was
working on the place the morning be-
fore and left everything in good shape.
The flames were seen to burst from
the barn by Mr.. SHELLS son, but as the
well bucket and rope were not in Or
der for use, no water could be had and
therefore not stick of timber of either
building was left standing. Mr.. Van
Keuren had lively time watching the
cinders which flew over his house back
to his barn. The buildings were in
sured for 1915. The loss is impossible
to state OF this time.

The OLher Side.

A well known and intelligent glass
worker, in speaking of the article in
this paper on the troubles between
manufacturer and workers, said Fri
day: ''The manufacturers are en-
deavoring to put us in bad light.
They patriotically say that they are
going to demand that the American
boy shall learn a trade despite our
efforts. We are just as anxious for
our boys to have a renumerative trade
as we were to get one, and will push
them ahead just as fast as is good for
them. The manufacturer quoted in
your columns says that when trade be-
comes dull the blowers will demand
that all the apprentices be removed.
This is not true. What the blowers
demand is that when trade becomes
SO dull that it is necessary for the
manufacturers to limit their force that
they remove 40 per cent. of appren-
tices with the journevmen. Or in other
words four apprentices to six journey
men. This is only fair, and protects
us in our trade, which has been in
recent years quite a good paying one.
This is an important fight for the blow
ers, and one they will continue to wage
for five years if necessary. If we are
beaten now we will be compelled event
ually to work for a dollar a day."

They Want the Trade.

A Bridgeton tobacconist speaking of
the dullness OF the trade says: ''The
great trouble with the trade in tobac-
co, is that almost every store but dry
goods establishments keep cigars and
tobacco for sale. The regular tobacco
stores have only the sale of the weed to
depend on, and the profits are ridicu
lousy low. Why, we don't make a
cent on ten cent plug of tobacco,
what do you think of that? If the out
side stores will only let the trade go we
could get along very nicely"

VACATION rs OVER.
The Public Schools Opened tor
The Term.

tNt keEEns
The average school boy is thanking
his lucky stars that Labor Day was
created by our Legislators, and that it
was the cause of their having just one
more vacation day. But the day soon
passed by, and Tuesday at nine o'clock
they had 10 give up their barefoot
ed freedom of the summer, and
cleanly, and neatly attired, they must
sit upon the low benches behind the
well worn and many times defaced
desks.
The public schools opened Tuesday.
The buildings remain the same as last
year. Since the vacation commenced
there has been much said of new struc
lures, and improving the old build
lngs, but it has all ended with this
conversation. The corps of teachers
are hardly changed. The same prin
cIpals officiate ia all of the wards.
There are, it is true, two or three
changes in one or more of the primary
departments. but as whole there is
not much change. The attendance of
the various schools promises to be
very large, possibly more so than in
years past. A word or two of advice
and then let school commence:
Do parents and teachers fully realize
the true object of these preparations
AMI anxieties? We think they do not
fully. 1t is not merely the personal
appearance of the child, it is not good
advice alone, nor is it furnishing text
book and apparatus--all of these are
very good; we cannot get along with
out them; but these in connection with
the development of character, the de-
velopment of the child both physically
and mentally is the true work of par
ents and teachers.
The parent should always work in
harmony with the teachers; the atten-
tion and care should be inseparable
Parents caunot aud have no right to
expect great things from teachers
when they leave all the work to the
oSeSiCIo 4tdCu6TS Oh eu-
tering school room should study
their pupils, they should study the
dispositions, in fact they should kno,s
them as soon as possible, and then
the teacher by kindness and tact
can soon gain the confidence and
attention of their pupils. Children
are easily managed if known in the
true sense by the teacher, and when
they are thus known attention is Sc
cured and great are the results, and
| then the work OF the teacher becomes
easy and the teacher can see the
mental and physical growth of the
child. The principal reason why
teachers have difficulty, is, thev do not
fully understand the charge they have
in keeping.

The Season Ended.

J. M. Moore and family, who have
spent the summer at Ocean Grove, re-
turned Friday to their home in this city.
Thousands of others will come home
from the different resorts now. Mr..
Moore says that he intended to enjoy
some of the September weather at the
Grove, but he could not stand the cold
weather. Overcoats are badly needed
there and without them one cannot be
comfortable. Oscar Anderson, who re-
turned from Sea Isle Wednesday night,
said he left only five guests at the Con-
tinental Hotel. Thus it is all along

Away over in Plainfield-that would

arrest a man if he refuses to pay his
taxes, even his poll tax. Here no poll
tax is levied and deinquents go scot

A Sad Accident.

Western Judge; "You are charged,
sir, with being leader of a party
that hunted down and lynched a
horse-thief. The days have gone by
when citizens of this great common
wealth can take the law into their
own hands, hence your arrest. What
have you to say?" Prominent citi-
zen: "I ant guilty, Jedge. I'll tell
you how it was. We caught the fel-
Ter and tied his hands and feet.
Nothin' wrong about that, was there,
Jedge?" "No, that was no doubt
necessary" "Wall, Jedge, there was
a storm comm up and we coulden't
spare him an umbrella very we'll
and so we stood him under tree.
That was all right, wasn't it?" Scr
tainly." "Wall, the clouds kept
gatherin' an the wind was purity
high, and we didn't want him blown
away, so we tied rope around
his neck and fastened the
other end to the limb above-not
tite, Jedge, jest so as to hold him
and we left him standin' solid on
his feet. Nothin' wrong about that,
was there?" Nothing at ALL"
"Then 1 kin be excused, can't I?"
"But the man was found suspended
from that tree and stone dead the
next morning" "None of us had
anything to do with that, Jedge.
You see we left him standin' there
in good health and spirits, for we
give him all he could drink when
we said 'good-bye;;' but you see, dur
ing the night the rain came up, an
/ 'spose the rope got purity wet an
shrunk couple o'feet. That's how
the sad accident happened, Jedge."

How an English Farm Hand Fares

What would the average "man
help" in our country towns think II
he was required to work as many
hours as the "hand" ON an English
farm? Probably he wouldent con-
descend to think about such ridic-
ulous subject. He would simply not
work, that Is all there would be to
it. But the average English laborer
is not so independant, and some
Americans who have been rusticat-
ing in the tyical English cottage on
a big farm, forty miles from Lon
don, this summer, have had their
compositions greatly excited In his
behalf. "Old Joe" walks two miles
from the village every morning to
be promptly at work by five o'clock.
He never leaves of until o O'clock,
and for these fifteed hours labor, Of
the most laborious sort, he receives
three dollars a week! \ slaves life
with this free Brton's is
one of luxurious ease; yet in spite of
all, "Old Joe" has managed to cele-
brate his seventy-fitth birthday. A

farce for this poor old soul under the
circum stances. Boston Herald.

vail there to an extent that would

master was recently sued by the
father Of II pupil whom he had un-
mercifully beaten by Gaming him on
the hand, and the magistrate
gave judgment against the
pedagogue on the ground that can
ing on the hand was attended by n
risk ofinjury, and there were "meth-
ods of corporal punishment quite as
available, efiacacious and not neces-
sarily attended by any risk, which
the defendent might have used.'

A SHORT WORLD

This is short world. We may
praise it or despise it, we may love
or grow weary of it; but however we
may esteem it, its course is very
brief compared with the vastness of
the world to come-the glory Of the
endless ages that stretch themselves
before the saints of Heaven. Com
pared with the mighty possibilities
Of the everlasting state, how brief,
how transient, how uncertain is the
stage in which we live. Our life is
a vapor that vanisheth away; our
days are swift as an arrows flight;
time hastens on with restless strides,
and the great, grand future of etern-
ity rolls steadily onward to meet us
as we pass the boundaries of this
transient world. Oh, that we who
have been charmed by earth's beau
ties, and entangled amid its snares,
could learn how brief its story is;
how soon its pomp shall fade, how
soon its joys shall pass away. "The
life that now is" is like one grain of
sand as compared with the wide
reaching shore, and the joys and
pleasures that have engaged our
thoughts are but notes in the SUM-
beam when compared with the en-
during glory which shall fill the
eternal existence of Gods redeemed
with brightness and gladness per-
petual as the years of heaven. This
is short world; whether it be filled
with joy or sorrow, light or shade, it
matters little. Here we are to work
or wait, but soon all will be over,
and the eternal day will dawn; the
clouds, and shades, and storms will
pass, and oh, that we, when the
morning breaks, may, as "children
of light" be found watching and
prepared for the bright and
everlasting day.

With the present facilities for man.

more than this could be expended

be no disposition on the part of con-
gress to stint the naval estimates,
as the sentiment of the people is
practically all one way. The de-
mand for the a new navy has grown
30 strong as to break down all con-
siderations of partisan politics, and
democrats and republicans will vie
with each other in urging the COM
pletion of an effective force of war
ships, with which the United States
may defend her honor on the ocean
as she has already done with wooden
vessels.

WONDER whether really crime

WONDER whether really crime or
law came first. Law came very
early in the history of things. If
we remember aright Adam and Eve
were instructed not to eat fruit in
the Garden of Eden. So it would
seem that law came first and led to
crime. Would they have eaten the
fatal apple if they had not been told
to? They were found out. How?
This has been puzzle to those clear
headed people who want facts, and
reason, and other troublesome and
dangerous things. Yet it is not 80
difficult. 1t must have been green
apple and the evidence was the eff
feet. 1t is easy to tell the boy who
has eaten a green apple to this day.
1t Is one situation in life where
presence of mind absolutely fails.
And down the corridors of time has
rung that irritating, exciting and
upsetting commandment "Thou
shalt not eat of the forbidden fruit"
and it governs everything from
cholera morbus to social ostracism.
We have got so many varieties now
of forbidden fruit that we overcome
the difficulty by little careful trans
planting and grating.

OUR NEW NAVY.

Now that the question of ships for
the new navy has been so far settled
as to make 1t certain that We can
build vessels which are fully equal
In all respects to those of other mar
itinie powers, public attention be-
ing directed to the armament for
our navy that Is to be. 1t Is not
generally known, perhaps, that the
government owns and controls a
process for hardening steel which
makes the penetrative powers of our
heavy ordinance projectiles superior
to that of any other projectile yet
manufactured. The process Is
secret one, but the result has already
been alluded to by the European
writers on military affairs. Com
modore Sicard, chief of the Naval
Bureau Of Ordinance, has just filed
his annual report and ID contains
many matters Of general interest,
among Others a reference to armor-
piercing shells.
This report states that during the
past year the six-inch armaments of
the Charleston, Yorktown and
Petrol were completed and sent TO
the vessels, and that the armament |
for the Baltimore is ready. The
eight-inch guns for the Charleston
and Baltimore will be ready within
the current year. The armaments
for the Philadelphia, Bennington,
Concord aud San Francisco win be
finished as soon as the vessels are
ready for them.
