MlLKMEN ORGANIZE.

And Discuss the Late Inspection
Law-The Inspectors Method
and Fee.
Saturday evening at o'clock some
fifty milkmen assembled at the Tur-
ner hall to discuss the feasibility of a
milkmen's organization for social and
protective purposes. Mr.. Otto Solms
was elected temporary chairman and
Mr.. L. G. Poor temporary secretary.
Short addresses were made by va
rious dairvmen, claiming that the in
spection law, which had considerable
to do with this meeting, was not OBJ
jectionable, but it was the enormous
fee of ten cents a head to which they
were opposed.
Mr.. II. C. Pfeuffer, ST., made an in
teresting talk, frankly giving his
opinion of the matter. The law, he
said, would not protect the people, as
he construed 1t to mean that the in
spector can inspect the cattle but
once every three months and between
that time the stable could be filled
with diseased cattle. He didn't
think that was the purpose of the Of
flee at all. He held that it was
created for the purpose of drawing
city pap and for electioneering pur-
poses.
DR.. +. II. Kline said that
it was TO his own interest to keep the
diseased cattle out of the dairy. He
said he didn't feel like paying ten
cents head to any inspector who
would come to his stable, ask how
many cattle he has and then make
out his bill. After remarks by Mr..
Solms and others. 1t was decided to
organize q milkman's union and
thirty-seven of the largest dairy men,
representing some 1000 cows, joined
the union.
A committee consisting of Messrs
H. G. Pleufer, sr., J. P. Kline, and L.
M. McGhee, were elected on constitu-
ton.
A resolution was then drafted and
adopted protesting against the heavy
fee in the late inspection law and
asking that that portion be amended.
After deciding to meet again next
Saturday night, the meeting ad-
journed.
One of the dairy men whose cows
had been inspected, told told the re.
porter how the inspector did the
work. "He asked for a glass of ice
water and dunned me for Sc. That's
about the size of it. He never locked
at the cows. He asked me for glass
of ice water and gave it to him. He
asked me how many cows had in
the stable aud / told him. He left
the place and sent me q bill for six
dollars. Now that stable might have
been filled with diseased cows and he
never would have known it," Sever
al others told the reporter that he
would not get any inspection money
out of them.
Mr.. Pfeufer said that the inspection
fee could not be enforced; any one
could refuse to pay it and the city
could not collect it.
This fee was assessed and the in
spector appoin ted, not by a city ordi-
nance, but merely by resolution OF
the council and for this reason it can
not be enforced. He further said
that he had been reliably informed
that the inspection law or resolution
would be amended at this evenings
session of the council.

"Good-bye, Gus, take keer o. yer
SELF" is the way the Express takes
leave of it's idol, Gus Cook. The Ex-
press knows the buttered side of it's
bread, and when it turns out that
Callaghan was running the county
convention as Hogg love feast, the
Express tumbIed.
"Good-bye, Gus, take keer o. yer
SELF" is the farewell of the editor of
the Express to it's candidate for gov
ernor.
Yes, Gus, fare thee we'll. The best
of friends must part.
Our advertising pages tell what
most we have at heart.
"Timothy Winebruiser," although
an ardent Hoggite, was cleft out"
Nat. Lewis and "his honor" touch
shoulders in the Hogg team.
"Politics make strange bedfelIows;
the late Callaghan-Hogg convention
was q sample.
Although the list of delegates to
the several conventions are long and
is supposed to have exhausted all the
democratic material in the county,
yet there are several notables cleft
outs.n
We fail to see the late President of
Mills Limekiln club in the list of
delegates to the state conven ton.
Ex-senator Gus Houston is absent
from the state and also absent from
the democratic party of Bexar coun-
ty.
Thee. Banks and Theo. Kunzman
were in command Of the labor ring of
the Callaghan-Hogg convention.
The democratic party of Bexar
county is not Farmer alliance, it is
Callaghan alliance.
The city administration from the
mayor to the street commissioner,
from the superintendent of the city
schools to the sanitary inspectors
were on hand at the democratic
county convention.
Mr.. Callaghan was not elected to
the office of mayor as democrat, yet
he presumes to use the power of the
entire city officials and employed
force to run democratic convention.
Inc p6Opl6 wuO NoVou III MI Sdi-
laghan did not do 80 for the purpose
of making him the democratic boss.
The people did not vote for Mr.. CAL
laghan in order that he should use his
power to force every official, paid out
of the taxes of the people, to be his
political servants and do his bidding,
for the purpose OF running the demo-
cratic party.
Our hayseed friends can't under
stand how it was that Mayor Gala
CHAN, City Attorney Bergstrom, Hon.
Fritz Russi, Alderman Rogers and
all the other eminent city officials got
hold of the Hogg convention and ran
it.
The programme was all made be-

A Dog lnterfered.

Frank Davis, a prominent business
man, living at No. North Main Street,
Woodstown, was Mortified recently
at discovering in the yard of his resi-
dent part of the remains of human
body lying in plain sight uron the
ground. The CHASTITY object was minus
head and legs, and clinging to the bones
from which the flesh had been removed
were the muscles and tendens of the
body. Mr.. Davis instituted a quiet
search for facts that would explain the
presence OF the body in his yard, and
the mystery was soon solved by DR..
Ellis Frost, a recent graduate of Jeffer-
son Medical College, who, it appears,
had secured the body for the purpose
of preserving and mounting the skele-
ton. Owing to the dampness of the
weather he had taken it from the
celler, and left it over night in the shed
back of the house. During the night
some prowling dogs had dragged this
part out in the street and down into
the yard of Mr.. Davis, where it was
found the next morning.

Some PIain Facts,

Keep your eye on the newspaper, and
see which of the merchants want your
custom and are sufficiently courteous
to invite you to call. There is much
more in advertising than you may
think, 1t is not only to tell of his goods
that man advertises, but it is to in
vite the people who read-the think
ing, the intelligent-to pay him visit
and Judge for themselves as to the
quality and price of what he offers for
sale. People read the advertisements.
Don't make any mistake about that.
They are just as much interested in
knowing where to buy to an advantage
as the man who advertises is in selling
his goods.

Death Rates in New Jersey.

The tables now completed for the
State Board of Health's report, show
the following death rates to the tho1ss-
and in the various cities of the State
of 5000 inhabitants: Long Branch has
the lowest, 12.41; Millville, 13.43s
Bridgeton, 14S1; Trenton, 1494; Bor-
dentown, 1902; Phillpsburg, $685.

For two years in succession Bridge
ton has stood third among the cities in
the State for low death rate, in the
estimate made by the State Geologist
in the College OF New BrunswiGss
This time Long Branch has proved
the heaithiest, having the smallest
humber of deaths 10 the thousand, and
Millville is second. Salem is the Sth

PETTY THIEVING.
Stealing Around the Cumberland
Iron Works.

iron "OrhS.
For some time past there has been
considerable petty thieving about the
Cumberland Nail and Iron Works.
In fact something important must be
stolen about these large works if it is
discovered. Some time since about
$50 or $50 worth of brass castings were
stolen from the mills and sold in Phila-
phia. The castings were afterward
traced there, and it was discovered
that they had been sold, but by whom
could not be learned, If the thief was
caught, there is little doubt, but that
an example would be made of him.
Last Friday Joseph Etherington was
at work in the mill, and he left his
coat as usual in a cupboard, which he
has built for his own use. When he
wanted the coat and went to the cup
board after it, he discovered that some
body had stolen it. With the coat was
taken pair of gold spectacles, highly
valued because they were present to
Mr.. Etherington. 1t is pity that such
dastardly petty thieves are not caught
and sent to prison.

Forged Order.

On Dec. 7th little girl entered the
grocery store on Donaghay Bros, and
handed them an order for some gro
ceries. The order was filled, amount
ing to a few dollars, and the child de-
parted with the goods. 1t was soon
learned that the order was a forgery,
and Thursday afternoon the same girl
entered the store again. Officer Camp
bell was summoned, and he with one
of the proprietors of the store accom-
panied the child to her home, which
was on Cohansey street. The mother
of the girl-a woman named Morrison,
had departed the town, leaving her
husband and children. She is we'll
known character, and the grocers had
rather she would stay away. 1t seems
from the story of the girl, and the
woman's husband, that the forged
order was in the woman's handwriting
No proceedings haye been taken
against her.

Don't He Jealous.

We regret to observe spirit OF
envious opposition in the Salem Sun
beam over the prospects which Bridge
ton now enjoys for securing a new
government building. 1t actual y
offers to bet that Congress will not pass
the bill, at least this year. This looks
as If the Sunbeam was jealous because
its town was not included in the prop
osition. Salem's turn may come yet,
and then she will want all the encour-
agement that the neighboring towns
in the First district can give her. Cam
den city secured new building on its
own merits, but that doesn't prevent
the Courier from wishing to see every
other county in the district similarly
benefited. And the Sunbeam ought
to see the matter in the same light

SOTEg BIRTHDAY.
Capt. Moses Muiford Celebrates
the AnniyarSary

Capt. Moses Mulford whose home is
on West Commerce street, Just over
the bridge, has been travelling on land
and sea for eighty years, that anniver-
sary being rounded out Christmas day
The Captain i8 still healthy man and
is familiar figure on our streets.
Wednesday morning he was at home
enjoying the day in the usual quiet
manner, when about ten o'clock more
than score of his children, grand
children and great grandchildren
visited the home in body, and sur
rounded their venerable parent.
The Captain was highly pleased with
this kind visit upon the part of the
members of his family, those present
being from Camden and this city. But
as the Captain looked around upon
the little host of those he loved. his
mind wandered away across many
miles of Western prairies, where live
other members OF the family, who were
separated from that homecoming, only
by the great distance between them
and the home Of the venerable father.
A splendid dinner was served about
noon, and indeed it was happy party
that gathered around that festive
board, with the kind and much be-
loved father at its head, doing the
honors for his guests. The wealth of
love bestowed upon the Captain by,
his children during that Christmas day
is worth far more to him than all of
the many beautiful presents received
by Others about the city. May the.
familiar face and figure long remain
about the freside of those who love
him so dearly.
