A DEAD ISSUE.

(From the .'True American" Dem.)
The Court of Pardons need not be sur
prised at the heat of the criticisms
against the remission Of Inc imprison-
ment of the Gutenberg race-tarck four.
It Is always a mooted question just when
justice should be tempered with mercy,
and. as a rule. those who cry the loudest
for justice are the most unjust in doing
so. The functions. of a pardoning power
always demand the performance of an
act which some declare TO be a weakness.
or Of other acts which others declare
to be a cruelty. If race-track gambling
were a living Issue: il it had not been
t~horoughly and effectlyely stamped out
for enforcing the penalty imposed by q
hard-won victory at the law.
But the whole issue is dead there are
no race-track gamblers or gambling race
tracks. Society has dennonstrated It's
ability TO use up n defeat all such cx-
crescencss: having done this, why should
the giant continue to wreak It's vengeance
on few of its opponents? Why should

Electricity saves the VaIuabfes of
Mrs. Egbert Ward.

ATLANTIC CITY. May 20, 1Ss5.-An
exciting story of a burglary, committed
a day or two ago has just been made
public by the police, who have been
quietly working upon the case since that
time. About three o'clock in the morn
ing Mrs. Egbert Ward, who has a cot
tage at No. 81 South Illinois avenue, was
awakened by the sound of some one NOV
ing about the room. AS she attempted
to rise she was seized by the throat and
warned to make no cutlery, as she would
be killed If she made the slightest noise.
The intruder then demanded to know the
whereabouts of money, jewels and every
thing else of value.
Mrs Ward. fearing to rouse her
dangerously Ill in ar adjoining room, led
the thief to the bureau which he began
to plumber: Absorbed in his work, the

the entire house. The intruder was
startled and snatching up a few valia-
hles, atarted to make his escape. The
courageous woman pursued thu man,
who wheeled around quickly, and point
ing a revolver forced her to retreat, say

PoUR9H'S MARKSMDu.
Peppered the Targets at Marion
ID Lively Fashion Saturday
Marker Injured.

The marksmen OF the Fourth Regiment
turned out in large numbers on Satur-
day afternoon to the regular weekly
practice at the Marion range. The at
tendance was so large that ait five O'Clock
the Range Committee decided to shut
down on the sale of cartridges for the
dav go that those who had purchased
ammunition previously would have an
opportunity to use it before the hour
for closing arrived. Thank to the eff
forts of the Range Committee, the days
shooting was conducted under more fav-
orable circumstances than On the OPEN
ing day. There was a marker for each
target, and as a result delays were not
SO numerous nor were there any dis
putes regarding shots supposed to have
landed on the targets and not marked.
The markers performed their work well,
all shots being marked promptly. As
announced exclusively in THE Jersey
City News Friday the shooting was
conducted in accordance with the Sea
Girt rules, namely, seven shots to con-
stitute a score. The change greatly
pleases the marksmen, as it not only
makes practice less costly but also makes
it possible for more men to shoot.
Early IN the AFTERNOON Cdptdlh Lon-
mann while practising on a target cut
the rope with a shot and the target
fell, striking the marker on the hand,
injuring him to such an extent that he
was compelled to retire. This left but
two targets. yet over 500 rounds of am
munition were fired during the afternoon.
The honors of the day were captured
by Captain Lohmann of Company K

High Glass Instruments for n Mere
Song.

There is to be seen in the show rooms
of Freeborn G.. Smith. at No. 43 Mont
gomery street. one of the most excellent
collections of high class pianos and or
gans ever seen in this city. They have
been taken in exchange for the we'll
known Bradbury piano, and Mr.. Smith
is anxious to clear them out at greatly
reduced prices. because he contemplates
making improvements in the store. The
instruments are really offered at about
half their value. and when it is remem-
bered that such pianos as Chickering,
Knabe, Bradbury, Hazleton, Steck and
Emerson. and organs of the making OF
Mason & Hamlin and Eastey are among
these. it will be seen that a rare oppor-
tunity is offered to those anxious to
purchase a GOOD Instrument at a very
low figure. The high reputation borne
hv Mr.. Smith and his sound knowledge
of these instruments IS a guarantee hat
the goods will be exactly as they are an

placed OF the character of the sales.
