Look Close.

The only argument brought against
borrowing $1,000 for an electric light
plant is, that there is "already too much
debt against the town" Eight thousand
dollars, at the rate of 0 per cent. would
be $500 per year. The town now pays
$45 per month, or $40 year for gasoline,
and there will be no reduction of this
sum. The town will pay S4OO or less, to
make less rate of taxation, and on a
venture, several stores and places of bust
ness will take lights, not counting private
dwellings. To look at the matter in this
light the plant certainly would be self
sustaining in very short time.
Eight thousand dollars is a mighty
big sum to some Of our towspeople,
but it would be saving to x-payers
if only the interest on the borrowed
sum is paid. The sum of $40 must come
from your pockets every year, and no
prospect of ever being less.
We seriously believe it a mistake if
any of our citizens vote against" Dor
rowing $4,000. Let the job be complet-
ed. Progressive citizens are clamoring
for plant, and every man who CONTROLS
u vote, or a proxy, should not stand the
scare racket of "too much debt" Come
out like men. Don't show the white
feather now Men of progressiveness
pushiveness, hustlers, are supposed to
live in Newark.

The Stomach Distils Acids.

These, if existent in a natural quantity
and unvitiated by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and assimila-
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to
convert food received by it into susten-
ance, is the producer of flatulence and
heartburn, which are the most harrass-
ing symptoms of dyspepsia. The best
carminative is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Far more effective is it than car
Donate of soda, magnesia or othe aka
line salts. These invariably weaken the
stomach without producing permanent
benefit. No man or woman chemically
dyspeptic, and consequently nervous,
can be in possession of the full measure
of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore,
invigorate and regulate the system, and
by so doing protect it from malaria,
rheumatism and other serious maladies.

Literary Notes.

The April number of TABLE TALK con-
tains much that is fitted to the season,
and much that will console and re-
fresh the body as well as tine mind. In
these respects the magazine never seems
to be at a loss. 1t mixes the literature
and the gasironomic in a very pleasant
confusion. We have never had much of
a laundering after sandwiches made up of
alternate slices of ham and literature,
but TABLE TALK does it in such paata.
BILE way that we are in the habit of
swollwing them quickly, and eagerly
wait for the roll of the month to bring
us some more. The success ofthe TABLE
TALK has been remarkable, and the Sc
cret of that success lies, no doubt, in the
tact it has shown in thus serving the
danties of the table with a literary sauce.
The practical aid it gives to the house
wife through Mrs. Rnrer's teachings, is
another factor in its success, and one
that ought to push in on until no house
hold in the country is without its month
ly presence. Published by the TABLE

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years Doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly upon

William NJ. Field and Bancroft, two
wealthy and libera-spirited citizens, Will
mingtOn will have public park along
the picturesque Brandywne. The Board
OF Park Commissioners are making every
effort to push the matter to final con-
clusion, and Council will be asked to
purchase necessary property for the com.
pletion OF the scheme. This park will
prove blessing to our laboring classes,
who for years have had no place where
they could go and ENJOY a day of rest.
The natural beauties presented where
the park will be laid out, will prove in
teresting to all who visit our city.

Permit me through
your columns to say few words as TO who
should be the next President of Coun-
Gil. The names of DR.. Lee M. Whistler
and DR.. II. G. M. Kollock certainly rep
resent two ofour foremost citizens and
the question now is-which one should
be elected? Without desiring to point
out the especial fitness of either gent le-
men, i would strongly urge the name
of DR.. Whistler. He seems to have an
amount of executive ability, and from
his past record in the school board,
would do all in his power to promote
all projects looking towards the advan-
cement of the town and her interests.
Aside from these admirable qualities, he
is an outspoken advocate for electric
lights and his stand on this important
question should win for him the vote of
every citizen who desires an improve
ment so long felt and desired lie is the
right man. EAST END.

Visions of White Doves.

The Wilmington (Del.) ReploJlioan says.
"A lady who buried her 4-months-old
child yesterday, from her residence on
Rodney street, tells the two following
dreams; A short time before the birth Of
her child she and some friends were out
looking at tho sky, when she saw a white
thing in the air fly around like charm
ed bird that could not get away from its
charmer. 1t gradually came downward
until she made it out in the shape of a
white dove. It came on down gradually
making its graceful rounds shorter and
shorter until it huttered to her face and
Int upon her shoulder. She then awoke
and found it was but dream, but in a
few days afterward her child was born.
About a week ago she had another dream,
but this time the snowy white dove took
its departure from her shoulder, and,
huttering around and around, it ascend
ed higher and higher into the azure blue
until it was lost to sight. On Friday
morning last her child died.
