Odds and Ends.

Mount Holly contractors are somewhat
disguised because the building of several
new houses in this place has been given
to outside parties. They reason that per-
sons in business in the town, seeking
trade from its residents, should be willing
to reciprocate Politics has also entered
the discussion, and the opinion is ad-
vanced that 1t is somewhat peculiar that
some who have been the loudest in de-
handing that Republicans should stand
by dealers of that party, are SO inconsis-
tent as to not only give contract to an
out of town Democrat, but also allow Ital-
ian labor on their buildings. while there
is plenty of home labor idle.

that remedy is held where it has been

The phenomenal sale of DR.. Deane's
Dyspepsia Pills can only be attributed to
the fact that they cure, they accomplish
what they are advertised to do. This is
easily explained. They are the prescrip-
ton of the physician who has made the
study of stomach and bowel troubles his
lifetime work. Given up to die, he stud
saw the folly of purging the bowels for
anything and everything. He cured him
self, and has cured tens OF thousands of
9th ers whose lives were made miserable
by the most common of all human all
ments-stomach, bowel and liver troubles

The May number of Scribaer's Magazine
contains an article by Joseph Wetzler,
editor of the Electrical Engineer, in which
reference is made to the turning Of the
steam railroad between Burlington and
Mount Holly into an electrical railroad,
and predicts that all railroads will be
eventually operated with electricity, and
new generation of railroad officers less
welded to the older methods will soon
come into existence.
Mr.. Wetzler points out the great advan-
tage which the electrical locomotive has
over the steam locomotive in the simplic-
ity of mechanism. One is collection of
boilers. pumps, cylinders, valves. piston
and connecting rods with reciprocating
motions. The other has but a single
moving part, the armature, with rotary
motion. The result of this simplicity in
the electrical locomotive is economy.
President Siemens, of the English Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers, reports that
the electric locomotives operating in the
London Underground Railroad, ran co.
600 miles without costing cent for re-
pairs.
1t is this economy of the electrical
power which will carry the day. and with
it will come absence of dirt, decrease of
noise and an increase of smoothness in
motion. Railroads and railroad patrons
will both be the gamers.
