Advertising Sales.

A short time since, a farmer came to
this office and wanted bills printed,
announcing a sale of his personal prop
erty. 1t was suggested to him that it
would pay him to advertise the sale in
the PIONEER. He was not favorable
to the proposition, but finally con-
cluded to try the experiment ''just
once.'' The day of the sale came
round, and the attendance was very
large and the prices were away up.
When that farmer came in to settle
his bill, he said make it out for the
full amount and receipt it. That ad'
vertisement did wonders. Why, one
party who told me he saw the adver-
tisement in your paper, bought five
time more than the value of the space.
Advertising pays" Yesterday morn
ing another farmer, who has just sold
out, testified to the usefulness of the
PIONEER as an advertising medium.
Large bills are all right and necessary,
but an advertisement reaches all the
people, and it is closely read. Try ii
and you will be convinced.

AGAIN In SESSION.
Plenty of New Bills Introduced
Monday Night.

The Legislative wheels are again re-
volving. The sessions Monday night
were especially interesting, and all was
excitement about the capitol build
ing. There were a good many South
Jersey politicians around, together
with host from Hudson county. The
member of both houses were beseiged
by their friends and could scarcely get
away when the time for the meetings

agents as they may deem necessary for,
the proper maintenance of the pub
lie schools of said cities, prescribe their
duties and fix their compensation.
which appointments shall continue.

Education, and no longer.
2. And be it enacted, That all acts

BRlDGET0N, N. j., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I3 1890.

The average number of scholars in
the last report, which was for Decem-
Der, to each teacher in the Third ward
was AZ. In other wards it was 40.
Ihere are as many scholars with
7 teachers in the Pearl street school as
in the Third ward with 8. And there
is the same number enrolled in the
Second ward school, We compare the
Third ward school with the other
schools of the city, because, in building
a new school house, we feel that in
placing it on Bank street it will afford
school facilities to the greatest num-
Der of children for the greatest length
OF time in that part of the city, which
Is Increasing in population with un-
precedented rapidity.
Three years ago the committee that
repaired the Third ward school at the
expense of nearly one thousand dollars,
reported it in good repair, and in ex-
celleat condition for the next ten years.
The committee that went before Coun-
Gil shortly after to see what was best
to do about the Bank street building,
reported that it was their Judgment
and heartily concurred in by Council
| that 1T was not worth repairing, and
thus it has remained with the least
possible repairs ever since. The cell
lngs, particularly of the lower rooms,
are low and are ill adapted for modern
school purposes. The walls of the
primary rooms are damp unless there
Is constant fire kept in the rooms.

Mr.. Corey remarked that there was
room enough in Bank street but, what
kind of trap is it? 1t is not safe for
school purposes, and who would be re-
sponsible for the damages in case of an
accident?
The question was called on Mr..

Railroad Scheme.

The engineers of the West Jersey
Railroad were again looking over the
proposed route last week for the rail
road extension to Quinton. There
seems to be general belief that the
road will be built this year. 1t will
branch off at Alloway station and run
through Alloway to Quinton, and
some wiseacres do say that it will be
extended to Salem, and even to
Bridgeton, but as it will probably cost
about $4,000 mile to construct the
road, it may be wise lot to plan it toe
far at present. When it once gets
started it will no doubt grow.-Salen

Comfortable Quarters.

Jos. G. Scott, the gentleman sent to
jail under the Vagrant Act, is very
comfortably fixed at the Jail. He is an
intelligent man, and appreciates the
kindness of Mayor Dubois in thus car
ing for him. He says the Sheriff is
most kind. He has a comfortable
hammock bed, and the food is excel
lent. His leg is being treated and is
rapidly mending. He is willing to do
anything to pay the kindness of his
friends, and it is likely that the Sheriff
will get him to paint him road cart.
He is a good painter and has excellent
references. He will endeavor to get in
good condition by the time his ten
days are up, and will move on to At.
lantic City, where he expects to be
able to procure work. He was there
last summer and made considerable
money at his trade.
Mr.. Scott has awakened a very
kindly interest in his welfare upon the
part of the authorities and a few
others who have met him, and will dc
all in his power to repay the kindness
His family in England, his home be-
ing about ten miles from London,
know nothing of his destitution, he be
ing too high spirited to inform them
of his hard lines. He writes every
two weeks to his wife, mailing his
letters on Friday. He has done this
for the past two years since he has
been in this country.

ST. Valentine.

Next Friday is Valentines Day. Only
a few years since the local stores kept
a most superb collection of the cost
liest novelties which swains and sweet
hearts paid many dollars for. The Gus
tom of thus remembering the day is
fast dying out, and now only cheap
valentines can be found. There are
some of the hideous caricatures yet,
which foolish persons purchase for a
cent, and send to somebody they do
not like well. About the only way st.
Valentines Day is now generally OBJ
served, is by crowd of mischievous
boys, playing bad pranks at night.

In this the leaders ia the movement
were pleasantly disappointed, as the
seats IN the room were entirely taken
up. A discussion of the possibilities
was had, and the probabilities and ap-

The meeting Monday night was en-
thusiastic and gave indications of be-

right about business and wake up
things; in all probability we shall soon
see lively times in the political hori

by Chas. E. Sheppard, Esq, and J.

OPERATIONS COMMENCED.
Blowers Take up Their Pipes In
the Big Tank Furnace.

Blowing window glass was begun
Monday at the big tank furnace of
the Cohansey Glass Co., and the work
was in every way eminently successful.
The works are guarded by watch
men for precautionary reasons, and
the workmen themselves are admitted
to the tank or operating room by
tickets only. These tickets are not
transferable, and if an employee hasn't
his ticket, he loses his time until an
other is procured.
No visitors are admitted, even the
employees in the company's store are
not admitted, but the Office clerks are
allowed to enter when necessity re-
quires.
A PIONEER reporter visited the fur
mace Monday afternoon. The build
ing is not yet entirely completed, and
all around and in the lower stories,
carpentersa and masons are still actively
engaged in the work of construction
A long and heavily built stairway as
cends on the west end of the building
to the entrance of the opel ating room,
in which is the big tank, with its sea
of molten glass; here the busy blowers,
tenders, gatherers, ETC., were seen
merrily twirling the huge rollers of
glass; all was orderly confusion, or the
confusion of orderly labor. The work
is the same as that of any window
glass furnace,
The glass when the rollers were cool
looked as bright and transparent as
could be imagined, and appeared sin
gulariy clear from bubbles and i'm
perfections and impurities.
No talk was had with any of the
foremen or managers, the reporter
not being able to find Mr.. Bodine, and,
consequently no authoritative data can
be given as to the operation and pro
spective success of the works, but from
the observations taken there seemed
to be every promise of satisfactory re-
suits. The men seem to be pleased
with their new mode of work, and the
furnace generally.

AS Washington's birthday occurs on
Saturday, February 90, there will be
no holiday in the public schools, be-
cause, as usual, no session is held on
Saturday, and therefore the honor that
is supposed to be rendered to the
memory of the Father of his Country
by observing the 22d of the month as
a holiday in turning thousands OF
school children loose, will lose its mer-
its in their eyes.

Saturday afternoon the remains of
the late w. w. Mills were buried in the

Quoted by a Baptist minister from
Salem. The attendance was very
large, despite the terrible rain storm.
The pail bearers were members OF

Salem: of which Mr.. Mills was mem
ber. Six Sir Knights, of Bridge

of Honor.

Not to be.

A bill is before the Legislature
which provides that one Freeholder
shall be elected in each Assembly Dis
trict, and one Director -at.large. This
would give Cumberland county three
Freeholders, with salary, as provided
in the same bill, of 5000 per annum.
Almost every winter there is an effort
made to Introduce some new scheme
to do away with the present system of
Freeholders. The people of South
Jersey do not seem to be willing for
such change. The townships and
wards would prefer making their own
selection of Freeholders, and thus be
ably and intelligently represented.

Trustees visit.

Last January the Trustees of the
County Aims House sent an invitation
to the trustees of the Salem and Cape
May county Aims House, to visit them
at our Aims House Thursday. The
Cape May trustees were unable to be
present and sent their regrets. The
Salem people, however, were able to
be there. and they will never regret
the visit. They arrived at the institu-
tion about half-past ten o'clock and
remained on the big farm until after
four O'Clock. They inspected the en-
tire place, going through all the build
ings and closely examining everything.
They expressed themselves as being
more than pleased with everything
they saw. The appointments of the
institution were regarded by the visi-
tors as the best they ever saw in a
similar place, and complimented highly
the work of the Trustees.
About twelve o'clockithe new whis-
tie blew, and the party were ushered
out in the dining room where Stew
ard Whitaker prepared one of
those dinners for which he and his
good wife have become famous. Those
present were: Steward David Dixon
and wife; iona. Grier and wife; Henry
Denny; Geo. Hewitt and wife; Mr..

ker, Geo. Hancock and wife. and sew.

should be Reelected.

At the election in March, the votes
of the people will elect City Tax Col
lector. The Republicans will, un-
doubtedly, nominate the present Col
lector, Lewis H. Dowdpey, for the po-
sition. He should be elected. He has
made capable official, and the people
have always liked him. He has given
the public an office in the centre of the
city, and has always been found there
when wanted. Such officials should
be retained in office, when they are
willing to serve the public.

Some farmers are taking advantage
of the mild weather to set out their
new peach orchards now. A wagon
load of trees from the nursery passed
through the town the other day with
their roots unprotected, the weather
being so warm.
