Burglars Enter.

Burglars are still at work.
Monday night some of these evil dis
posed persons visited the establish
ment of T. Campbell, at the corner OF
South Laurel and Jefferson streets.
By going back of the building they
were permitted, without much trouble
to pry open shutter and effect an en-
trance. The thieves forced open the
shutter with an iron key to one of the
city's wash paves. The socket which
holds the bolt was bursted, and a hook
at the bottom was pulled out. The
window was then hoisted and the
thieves entered.
Once inside they began to ransack
the place. A money drawer which is
in desk in the centre of the store was
pulled out, and this morning found up.
on the floor. Only few three cent
pieces had been left there by Mr..
Campbell, and these the burglars re-
fused to touch. Nothing was taken
atleast'nothing of sufficient importance
to be mentioned.
There is no clue to the petty thieves
and more is the pity. 1t is unfortunate
that the police are unable to catch
these fellows and turn them over to
the tender mercies of Sheriff Shaw
there to be kept, until Judge Hoagland
could send them to the State Prison
where they might labor hard for theil
board and clothes. ..

A Bridgetonian in passing through
the Camden county Jail last week
found Lewis Ottinger there, having
been sent from Gloucester for sixty
days, for disorderly conduct. Lew did
not want anything said about his i'm
prisonmeRt in this city. He begged
five cents for tobacco. He told his
visitor that the Camden Jail was not
the Cumberland Jail by any means,
and the accommodations there were
far inferior to those furnished by
Sheriff Shaw.

POST OFFICE ROBBED.
THE MHLEVIALE POST OFFICE
ROBBED OF $I,SOO.
Blowing Open the Sale, The
ThfeVes Have an Easy Time to
Secure Piunder.

Charley Newlin, the clerk in the
Millville Post Office, entered that in
stitution Thursday morning about six
o'clock, as usual.
Hardly had he entered before he ran
out and called loudly for help. Post
master John Newlin was near by and
ran in, and found that bold thieves
had entered the place.
The Millville Post Office is on High
street, just above Main. 9 It is on the
East side of the street, and there is a
back yard directly in the rear, which
is surrounded by high fence. Some
time after eight o'clock, which is the
hour the Office closes, burglars
scaled the fence, and bored small
hole in the wooden shutter. With a
| piece OF wire the thieves pulled back
the bolt, and climbing in the window
were in the interior of the office.
A small hole was then drilled in the
door of the large safe, which stands in
the rear of the Office, and powerful ex-
plosives injected. This was touched
off, and hole about eight inches
square was made.
The burglars were then enabled to
carry on their work. Stamps. regis
tered letters and money were taken,
amounting in all from $1,000 to $500.
All the stamps in the office were taken,
leaving the Office without power to 90
business this morning.
1t was reported this morning that
Postmaster Newlin took $4,000 bone
with him last night, but it is hardly
likely that this rumor is correct, but
if it is, the Post Office Department is
that much better off. The depredators
lett nothing behind them which will
serve as clue to run them down.
The night officers heard nothing of the
explosion, and the thieves were well
awsy from the scene of their work be-
fore the robbery was discovered.
Mayor Whitaker telegraphed all
| about the country this morning, ask
ing the officers to look out for suspic-
| ious characters. From the nature OF
the work there many who believe the
work was done by the same parties
who robbed J. G. Sheldon, of this
city.
| LATER.
Two men have been arrested in Ced-
arville by Constables Simpkins and
Hogbin, on suspicion of being concern
ed in the robbery. They were arrested
at DR.. Eph. Bateman's, one of them
having called on the Doctor for some
ailment.
They gave it out that they worked
on a boat and had been in Philadelphia
in hospital. They passed through
this place this morning, and having
suspicious actions, Fairton and Cedar
vile were telephoned to, and the off
GERS put On the lookout for them.
They are held for the Millville au

Politicians from the Second District

Hon. Mulford Ludlam, will be the next
nominee for the Assembly. Mr.. Lud-

yesterday by a reporter, but he laugh

nice he did not get it. He declared
that when he ran for Office again it
would be for President of the United

WILMINGTON EXCURSION.
A Successful and Pheasant Trip
On the ssLaur;a b.

The steam tug Laura B" made it's
first excursion of the season Thursday,
under the management of Messrs.

of pleasure to the public. The excur-

The handsome little tug left Jerrell &
Sons wharf promptly at $40 a. m. and
Notwithstanding the tide was running
contrary to the direction taken by the
boat, the sail down the river was a
very pleasant one. The boat stopped
at Green wich and took on three per-
sons. The party was quiet one, and
the guests were grouped about the
boat chatting and enjoying the occa-
siop. King street wharf, in the hust-
ling city of Wilmington, was reached
at 12 30, and when the passengers dis
embarked they made directly for the
dining room. a majority of the visitors
went to the Garwood House, kept by
former Jerseyman, where most
substantial dinner was enjoyed.
The party then spread out over the
city, visiting the various mannfec-
tories, public buildings and other
places of interest. The Brandywine,
the famous Delaware resort was visited
and the visitors found that there were
many improvements being made there.
The sail home began at o'clock.
The weather was delightfully."- cool.
When the steamer Republic" was
passed, the tug put it's nose in one of the
heavy swells. Dr. Camm saw the i'm
pending wetting, and started to run
out of danger. but there was a mis-
calculation and he fell on the deck with
dull, sickening thud, and the pass

Edward Starn, near Fairton. His
spare time is said to have been spent
in counting, and as a result. Young

Rev. Ephraim White. of Vine street,
died Sunday at his home. For some
time, the elderly gentleman has been
ailing, heart disease being the trouble.
During the past two months he has
been much worse, and taas not been
going around as is his usual custom.
Last Saturday, however he was feeling
quite strong, and in the a1orning ae-
companied by Frank E. Robinson,
drove oat ON the Shiloh pike. In the
evening he was unusually bright, and
at eleven o'clock had quite long talk
with Mr.. Robinson. The latter gentle
man, of late, has been stopping with
Mr.. White at night, and nearly twelve
O'Clock the family retired.
About four o'clock Sunday morning
Mrs. White awakened and looked
toward her husbands bed, and he
seemed to be sleeping peacefully. His
mouth was open but as he often sleeps
this way, there was nothing thought
about it. About FIVE O'Clock Mrs.
White again awakened and went to
the bedside of her husband. Touching
him she found that he was dead.
He had passed to the great beyond
without struggle. No traces of pain
upon the pallid face. The bed clothing
was not even disturbed. He had
fell in peaceful sleep, and while rest
ing thus, the heart had ceased to do its
work, AMI the soul had departed.
Mr.. White was in his seventieth
year, had he lived until September
would have rounded out the allotted
three score years and ten. He leaves
a widow, never having had any chill
dren. He attained considerable dis
tinction as a local preacher, and was a
consistent member of Trinity M. E.
Church. The funeral services are

MENDING KID GLOVES,

I will give you suggestion for mend
ing kid gloves, says Miss Norris, in the
Prairie Farmer; but just because it hap
pens to be quick and an easy way don't
call it lazy way before you try it. Have
you ever had the experience of putting on
new pair of kid gloves that tore because
of weak place in the kid? I have had
thatexperience, and just upon going out
when I had not time to mend the glove,
and a friend standing near mended it
neatly and quickly by drawing the rent
together and pasting a piece of court
plaster on thewre2g side of the give.
Since then I have offered the~-court
plaster to many, who have found it good.
Of course regular rip might better be
sewed, and by using the glovc-silk, which
is fine and may be purchased in any shade
1t first-class glove store, you can sew
up rip so that the glove will look rs
good as new. In cases where a rent is
ragged and has been left some time,
lew stitches may be necessary before put
ting on the court-plaster.

The Queen JOked Gladstone.

Upon one occasion, writes Eugene
Field in the Chicago Neus, having been
invited out to dinner, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gladstone entered cab and attempted
to get through Piccadilly. That thor
oughfare was unusally crowded at the
time, and after tloundering about in the
rank and file for two hours, the worthy
couple were compelled to abandon their
purpose, turn off at side street and re-
turn home. This was considered quite a
joke on the "Grand Old Man." and his
acquaintance guyed him good deal
about it; moreover, the press got hold of
it and dished it up ad nauseam. The re-
suit was that Gladstone finally got very
weary of the joke and he began to evince
temper whenever it was referred or al
luded to. On the occasion of the next
reception given by the Queen to the lead
ers of the Liberal party, her Majesty, who
had been treasuring up the disagreeable
jest for several weeks, seized upon the
opportunity to say to the ex-Premier: 81
hear, Mr.. Gladstone, that you recently
had an amusing experience in Piccadilly;
pray, tell me of it in order that I may
share. the merriment which it has given
Others" Mr.. Gladstone was greatly
nettled, but he had to keep his temper.
''May it please your Majesty, mum,
said he deliberately and almost sternly,
"there was departure, misadventure
and return; and that was the long and
short of the matter, num-"

THOROUGHBRED BONE.

''That must be strong horse, for see
what large bones he has" But bone,
like other animal tissue, is made up of
cells, and these cells differ in density
even in the same bone, and are widely
different in the different breeds Of
horses. If bone is sawn across it will be
seen to consist of hard, compact exte-
rior and softer interior. If a section is
made of the bones of thoroughbred
and scrub horse, or horses that show in
life clean, fiat legs and large, round legs
respectively, it will be seen that the latter
compare very unfavorably with the former
in density and consequent strength. The
bones of the higher bred animal exhibit
less bulk but more strength than the
big, loose, spongy bone of the lower
bred animal. 1t is said that compare
lively, the smaller but more compact
bones of the thoroughbred are in strength
as two to one of the average carthorse.
The experienced veterinarian can tell
the breeding of horse by examining
his bones. Thus understood, the hack
neycd phrase, "brcd in the bone," is not
meaningless. In view of these facts, how
important it is that growing colts be fed
q due proportion of bone making foods,
chief among which is wheat bran.-NctO

CROSSING PIGS.

A cross between common pig and a
pure Berkshire is half-bred; a second
cross of the half-bred with a pure boar
is three-quarters bred, ard the rest three
eighths. Consequently the cross will
never be pure bred animal, although
four crosses, which makes fifteen-six-
teenths of pure blood, is generally con-
sidered full blood, but is not pure bred.
The half-bred pigs are quite as valuable
for pork as the pure breed. No doubt
this breed is the best for domestic uses,
as the meat is we'll mixed with fat and
lean, and when we'll fed has a sweet
favor and is tender. But the feeding is
the main point in making good meat.
For young pigs, when milk is not to be
had, slop made Of meal, thiee-fourths
barley, one-fourth peas and one-fourth
bran, given sweet and not sour, and in
moderate quantity, say one pound of the
meal at feed for two-months-old
pig, will make excellent pork and fair
bgrowth. The food should be gradually
increased, and with this breed or the
half-breeds should make a pig of 200
pounds at nine months old. For fatten-
ing, an equal part of corn may be added
to the above mixture OF grain.-NesO York
Times.

animal is better secured. In the use of
long straw an even distribution of it will
rarely occur. and the animal will be
treated to a lumpy couch. Further
more, it is far easier to separate the wet
and soiled portions of cut-straw bed
from the dry. Also, the chopped bed
ding is better absorbent of the animals
droppings, and there is lees waste of
ammonia by evaporation. 1t is far more
easily manipulated in the compost heap.
Again, as the absorption of fertilizing
material has been more equal in the
short bedding material, SO the compost
heap in turn becomes more uniform and
homogeneous-bctter fortified against
external influences and less given to in
ternal fermentation. This is a point of
prime importance, as many will attest
who have exposed themselves to serious
loss in their manure heaps by burning.
Important as is this matter in the stable,
it is still more so in the pig-sty. Swine,
especially brood sows, should be fur
nished with cut-straw bedding rather
than long straw.-American Agricuttur-
ist.

Poet Whittier's Mocking Bird.

In bird store over on the West Side
a few days ago I was much interested in
the efforts made by the proprietor of the
aviary to induce a prospective customer
to purchase full throated mocking bird.
The dubious patron objected that he
had heard that birds of that variety
never lived for more than five years;
that they often died within a much
shorter period, and that he was unwilling
to expend his money on songster whose
voice would be so soon hushed.
It was in vain that the shopkeeper
argued that the tale of a mocking birds
years was much longer than was generally
supposed, and that the five year limit
was mere superstitious fiction. The
preconceived notion was indestructible,
and the anticipated customer left the
shop unconvinced.
AS passed on 1 was reminded of an
incident related to me on the occasion OF
a visit to the Poet Whittier at his home
at Oak Knoll little over year ago. 1t
was the Sage of Danvers cightieth birth
day, and while he was receiving a group
of literary digritaries in his cosy parlor l
was having a delightful chat with his
charming little eighteen-year-old niece
Phebe in the library.
Phebe's love for the domestic pets is
only second to that for her uncle, and it
was with intense pride that she exhibited
the great black cat, whom she christened
Rip Van Winkle in Joe Jefferson's honor,
and the nocking bird, whose songs in
many keys are scarcely less tuneful than
those of the gray bearded Quaker.
The cat and the bird are in perfect
accord, and together with the magnificent
Newfoundland, who is always at Mr..
Whittier's side, form, as Phebe says, "a
perfectly happy family of three" "How
old is he?" Phebe repeated, when I asked
about the birds age; "oh, he is ever so
many years ahead of me-" with blush
and laugh, and then she told me of a
visit paid to Oak Knoll some time before
by rather prctentious Boston gentle
man, who had remarked as he entered
the library: "Ah, see you indulge in
the luxury of a mocking bird. Well,
sir, mark my words, you'll not keep him
long"
To this sage observation Mr.. Whittier
replied dryly: "No, indeed, fear not.
He has been in the family for more than
twenty-five years now"
Whether this bird is still in the land of
the living is more than I can tell, but the
fact of the possibility of mocking birds
longevity is, to my mind, well established,
if only on bright-eyed Pnebe's authority.
