CONSUL TO JAMEsBURG.

This is the new title just conferred on
Cashier Westervelt, of the Jamesburg
Bank. 1t is not government appoint
ment but has been given him By the
National League of Wheelmen. 1t
means in cycling parlance that Mr.
Westervelt is the man to whom all local
members of the League may report any
difficulty they may have respecting their
rights on the highway. If the cycler is
at fault the consul can only commend
him to the tender mercies of the party
with whom the trouble occurred. If the
cycler is blameless his cause becomes the
cause of the National League, who will
see him through if it takes their skins.
Therefore, the consul is quite :" some
pumpkins and it behooves every wheel
man, also, to join the League.

BOROUGH CAUCUS.

Tne caucus or primary meeting to
Borough Commissioner was held Oh
Tuesday afternoon at Fidelity Hall.
The attendance was small. Mr.. George
A. Shultz was made Chairman and Mr..
John Baremore, Secretary. The follow
ing gentlemen were nominated for
Commissioners: G. NJ. Dawson, Chas.
Breck wedel, Frank Jennings and David
Emons. Thee are three Commissioners
to elect, for three years each. And there
are four candidates to choose from. The
Appropriation voted from the Borough
for road Improvements was $780, The
main business over the citizens INDUCED
in free discussion of the past improve
ments made and generally voiced the
sentiment that it is high time for us to
spend some money on the better lighting
and policing of the town. Some of the
commissioners present declared Them
selves willing to vote for town lookup
and for the lighting of lamps from the
Borough moneys, provided the people
would furnish the lamp and posts and
keep them in repair. We believe the
new Commissioners nominated are
in favor of these movements. Certainly
we need both lights and police protec-
ton. The latter could be had, we believe
without cost. Our Borough has been a
vast help to the town and we hope our
people will never vote to hinder the pro.
gress we are making.

VANDALISM RAMPANT.

Nothing of late has shown greater dis
regard of private rights, and general good
order than the de- struction of the crocus
bed at the Presby yterian Parsonage on last
Saturday night. The despoilers rudely
grabbed large lunches of the blooming
beauties and scattered them on the lawn
and sidewelk; and not content with that,
plucked some by the roots, and crushed
others by their rude tread. We have
nothing but condemnation for such van
dalism.
An umbrella with the name "Mary A
Thomas on the plate was taken from
the vestibule of the Presbyterian Church
on Sunday evening last. Please return it
to the parsonage.

1t was beautiful Easter service as rem
dered by the Sunday School last Sunday
evening at the NJ. E. Church. On ac-
ccount of the storm it. was feared that
some who had parts would not he able to
attend, but the little ones fully realized
their Importance and hot only braved
the weather, but carried out their parts
ofthe program in their usual, brilliant
and pleasing manner.
The selections of the choir were made
with taste and the singing was superb.
The platform was beautifully decorated
with flowers. The Easter lilies, pure
and white, were there and filled the air
with their fragrance.

EASTER SERVICES.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

There was an unusually large attend
ance the churc. being well filled. The
services were introduced by the organ
voluntary and an appropriate anthem.
Two other anthems and special hymns,
and organ voluDtaries, made the musical
part of the services exceedingly impress
sive. The choir never sang better, either
in parts or chorus, and the whole re-
fiected great credit OH all the members.
The trustees made statement of the
deficit in running expenses and proposed
an Easter collection to meet it. After
remarks by the pastor and Mr. Ira Otter
son, chairman of the annual meeting, the
offerings were gathered and aggregated
$240, with more to be received.
The sermon by the pastor was OH Acts
4 : SO. And with great power gave the
apostles witness Of the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon
them ALL" He drew therefrom many
precious lessons concerning the resurrec-
ton. presenting the whole in a manner
in keeping with the joyful day. The
platform of the pulpit was beautifully
decorated with potted flowers and bloom
ing plants.
In the evening the Sunday School gave
their Easter exercise, "Voices of the
Resurrection" in most admirable man.
ner. The infant cass sang the welcome
song and semi chorus on Easter Les
SONS. Nothing was more pleasing than
the song of Easter Emblems by Ethel
Dawson, Mamie Kienzle. Ida Lauge and
Jessie Paxton. The male quintette sur
prsed the audience by their good work,
and the recitations were very COOL. The
building of Redemption's Bridge by
eleven small boys, with the address OF
the pastor thereon, was among the most
impressive of all the exercises. The
audience was large despite the rain. and
all fully enjoyed the service.

Tie Jamesburg Public Library has al
last found permanent home and abiding
place. The surviving members of the
association have given it to the trustees
of our Public School for the benefit of
the school children. The trustees have
thus become possessed of valuable
library which cannot fail Of being helpful
to all those scholars who are desirous Of
helping themselves. Inasmuch as there
was little public interest in the library
we are glad to know that it has been
placed where it may do constant good to
the present and coming school children.

BAPTIZED IN ICY WATERS.
CHRISTIANS AT THE GEORGES
ROAD CHURCH

Thirteen young people were baptized
Sunday in Lawrence's Brook, at
Georges Road, by Rev. j. Love, pastor
of the Georges Road Baptist Church.
Five young men and eight girls sub
mitted to the ordeal, which was a most
trying one.
The place where the ceremony was
performed i'm half mile from the church
and rectory. The neophytes undressed
at the rectory and robed themselves for
baptism.
Each wore a suit of flannel undergar-
ments and over this the long gown.
None had rubber suits or any other pro-
lection from the cold. In this condition
they were taken in carriages to the brook
half mile away.
The men were baptized first. The
tizing one let him stand till the other
was baptized. He started to do this with
the women, but the first one baptized
was nearly overcome and almost tainted.
He afterwards took in only one at time.
The water was bitterly cold and those
who were baptized suffered terribly.
Those first baptized had to stand on the
bank without any protection until all
had been baptized. Then in their wet
clothing they had to endure the long
drive of half mile back to the rectory.
Monday several of those who were bap-
tized were suffering from the cold and
shock.
The baptisms were the result of revival
services which have been held for the
past few weeks in the church.

A GREAT FUSS OVER 8 CENTS.
Result of Mistake in Assessing New
York City Property.
From the New York Post.

Controller Fitch posted in his office to-
day voucher and warrant which have a
curious history. They are an example of
how much labor it takes to correct a lit
tie mistake in city department.
The amount of money involved
in this case was cents The
board of education had leased
property at One Hundred and Forty
ninth Lreet and Beach avenue, street
was cut through, ana the property was
assessed 3 cents too much. When
the error was discovered the law re-
auired that the cents be transferred
from the tax fund to the fund of the board
of education. In order to have the trans
fer made. the examiner, Il. Williams, had
10 make a special investigation aud re-
port on the subject which was referred 10
a committe OF the board Of education.
This committee, after further examina-
tion, endorsed a requisition on the
finance department for B cents This
reauisition had TO be countersigned by
Arthur Mullen, clerk of the board and
referred TO Edwin Gilon, collector of
assessments, who signed a voucher which
had TO be attested by John f. Goulds-
bury, the second auditor Of the finance
department. Then q. o. Williams made
out warrant Of payment, Controller
Fitch signed IL, and IL had 10 pass
through the mayors and the city cham
berlain's Offices before tho cents were
paid.
