Senator Maurice A. Rogers, OF Cam
den, in letter to the Citizens Committee
of that county, makes the following state
ment:
"During the session OF the Legislature
in 1891, being the first year OF my
present term as Senator from Camden
county, Mr.. William j. Thompson called
upon me at my room in the hotel in the
city OF Trenton, and after some converse
ton In which he spoke OF the large
amount OF money invested In race tracks,
said to me: III yon can get me three Re-
publican votes for the race-track bill in
the Senate, will give you $4,000. We
can pass the bill, as we have enough
votes, but they are all Democrats,
and Governor Albeit will not sign 1t un.
less it has some Republican votes. You
needn't vote for it yourself, II you DOM
want to; just get them.' My reply was; =
wouldn't vote for your race track bills II
it were 10 your power to give me the STATE
OF New Jersey for so doing. Such being the
case, | certainly could not ask any othel
Senator so to do. Besides this, | have Ia
the most uncquiyocal terms replied 10 the
various citizens, churches and societie,
that have addressed me upon that sabject
that | was opposed to and would fight In
every way the racetrack bills =; and so
shall. The people OF Camden county are
down on this thing. | want you never tc
speak to me again upon the subject.
This ended our interview, and he never o.
attempted 10 renew II.

who have been distinguished for anli2athy

with the basest hypocrisy and fawning
deception, seek to find some clue to fur.

Mr.. Isaac L. Rice, who for some
years has conducted fruit and confec-

&c., and left town last week for Rock
Island, ILL.,, where he expects to engage
in business. Mr.. Rice is an enterprising
young man, has plenty of energy, and
what is more than that, is honorable In
his business transactions. We hope he
may succeed in whatever he undertakes.
His mother and sister have also removed

The largest shipment OF peaches that
has been made from our Pennington sta
lions at any one time this season, was
made on Monday night. Nearly 1900
baskets OF this fruit were sent to market,
but the prices realized were enough to al
most discourage our farmer friends, and
we doubt not that hereafter very few
peach orchards will be planted In our
county. 1t is claimed that the low prices
are due TO rainy weather and an exceed
ingly large crop. A gentleman made the
remark in our hearing last week that
he had fourteen pickers in his orchard,
but he was going to stop them as The
peaches would not pay for the picking. :

Mrs. Sarah LIE Moyne, the Browning
reader, whose rich flexible voice is potent
in her interpretations of the poet of mys-
terry, holds decided opinions upon the de-
velopment of the voice. She says, "there
are today hundreds of parents whose chill
dren twenty years hence will reproach
them for neglecting their voices.

voice education should begin. And how

nurses, handicapped with bad talking
habits, from which they will never quite
recover.

platform as educators. 1t is well to let
children often see what the human voice
is capable of in the way of power and ex-

models. The great fault OF actors and
readers have been mannerisms and affec-
tations, but both stage and platform are
improving every year, and have now
which to learn.
