The Washington correspondent OF tho
Summit Record gives some facts relative
to the growth OF the population of this
State which just now, when the State GEN.
sus is being taken, are OF especial interest.
The second Federal census was COM
pletcd June Q, 1901, and the report was
printed In n single volume OF one hun
dred pages, and il is now preserved with
great caro- in the files of the Register oil
the Treasury at Washington.
The census OF 1900 was taken under
| the direction OF Mr.. Thomas Lowry. At
| that time there were only thirteen coun-
ties in the State and its total population
2l1, 140. In 1890 the number of resi-
dents had increased to l ,454,0 1913.
AT the beginning of the present cen
fury Sussex was the largest county in the
State. 1t had population of 22,434.
Now Sussex ranks nineteenth and has q
smaller number of residents than II was
credited with ninety-fiye years ago.
In 1900 there were IL, 422 colored per-
sons held in bondage in the State. There
was but one State north of Maryland that
had mere slaves than New Jersey, and
that was New York, which had slave
population OF 20,6l3.

An effort is being made to close the
stores in this city at an early hour during
the warm season. Some Of our merchants,
VIC hear, want the hour put 30 late as to
practically nullify the purpose in closing.
The practice of keeping the stores open
until late hour at any season OF the year
is senselcss one. If people knew that
they would have to make their purchases
by certain hour or not at all, they would
attend TO it in time, and fuel, gas and
wcarisome hours for employees would be
saved. But when this custom is carried
through the hot weather it is not only
senseless, but cruel. A clerk who Is kept
at work from Z o'clock in tho morning
until or 0 at night is overworked, and
if he or she becomes careless and listless
il is not 10 be wondered at. Close the
stores at G. The proprietors would feel
the benefits Of early closing as well as the
clerks, and nobody would be the poorer.

BASE BALL.


The Lambertvile Athletic Association
will play the Pennington Club, on the
grounds of the latter, next Saturday after
noon. A special train will be run and an
exciting game is expected.
The game of base ball played last Satur-
day, on the grounds in this city, between
the Montgomery A. A., OF Philadelphia,
and our home team, resulted in the sue
cess Of the Lambertvilles by a score of IA
to 8. Notwithstanding the discrepancy
in runs, the game was one of tho most
pleasing played this year. The catcher
of the Montgomcrys had his fingers in
jured in the third inning, and this, no
doubt, affected the playing of the visiting

Charles Cronce, who lives on Mrs.
Bloomfield Blackwell's place, in Delaware
township, turned out his cows to pasture
on Monday morning Of last week, as usual,
and when they were driven up on Monday
evening two of them we're missing. Search
was made for them for hours, but they
could not be found. By mere accident
they were found on Tuesday afternoon
in the railroad culvert near by, fast in the
mud. They could not turn around, nei-
Their could they back out, as their legs
were imbedded up 10 their knees. By
placing planks under them they were,
after considerable trouble, released from
their dangerous situation.

Twenty or more lady members OF
Laurel Temple, Ladies of the X. G. E.,
of Trenton, and three or four members OF
the New Brunswick Temple, paid a fra
ternal visit to Golden Star Temple, No. 8,
of this city, last Friday, and to say that
they had royal good time is only speak
ing of it very mildly. They came in the
morning and returned home in the even
ing. They met at tho Temple on the
streets, where they talked of matters con-
corning the Order, talked of each others
welfare and of affairs generally, and were
then escorted about town and shown our
manufactures, mills and places Of general
interest. They stopped for brief rest at
the establishment of Samuel Stockton
who, by the way, is Past Noble Chief OF
Delaware Castle, No. 1876, of New Hope
5S Coryell street, and he gave them a
hearty welcome and much desired in
formation. Among the ladies of this city
who gave their attention to the visitors
during tho day were Mrs. Nicholas Web
Der, Mrs Walter s. Holcombc, Mrs. Wat
son Kitchener, Mrs. Robert Justice and
Mrs. Edw. r. Stout. Among the visitors
were Miss Louisa Schwartz, Mrs. Roy
Cassiday, Mrs. John Dickinson and Mrs.
Matte Wyckoff. Previous TO the depart
ure OF tho visitors they were served with
substantial collation., and as they left
town they expressed themselves as highly
delighted with their visit and hoped the
time would soon come when 1--WE shall
all meet again." ~

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and an
absence OF appetite is an indication of
something wrong. The loss of rational
desire for food is soon followed by lack OF
strength, for when the supply of fuel is
cut off the fire burns low. The system
gets into low state, and is liable to &C.
we're attacks of disease. The universal
testimony given by those who have used
Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its great merits
in restoring and sharpening the appetite,
in promoting healthy action Of the diges-
tive organs, and as purifier of the blood,
constitutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine.
Those who have never used Hoods Sar.
saparilla should surely do 80 this season.

For THE REooRl
WHO KILLED THE SNAKE z

One day last week young gentleman
of the First Ward (rrustee of Public
Schools and politician by Will, in COM
pany with gentleman friend, engaged a
rig, with the intention TO drive TO Har-
bourton, it being Jimmy's sanguino desire
to view the historical spot where Mich
ael Lucas learned the wheclwright trade,
and to satisfy Johns suspicion that Mike
never "guyed them, Jimmy was deter
mined they should sec the place. They
were riding along merrily, perhaps both
thinking of their girls, when a large con-
strictor confronted them. Jimmy almost
tainted and John thought for sure the
snake would curl itself around the horses
legs, but with little courage they both
got out and showed their nerve. Jimmy
now says John might make great pool
player, but thinks he will never make a
base ball pitcher, while John declares
Jimmy threw enough stones at the snake
to macadamize every street in Lambert
vile. Not making great success with
stones, Jimmy grabbed fence rail and
John three-by four and charged on the
reptile. Each now claim the honor OF
killing the snake, and they say the " var
mint measured feet II inches in length.
John says he will have the dead snake
sent TO the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
| iDgton and have it stuffed and dressed,
and then carefully preserve and guard the
Same as n memento of one of the bravesl
acts of his life. ZEE.

middle of the street. He was dashed
against one of tho trolley poles which
stand between the double tracks and he

\ Proposition To Construct New ships and
Naval Works Meets Opposition.

PARIS. oct. 22.-Promier Ribot and
Vice Admiral Besnard. Minister OF Ma
rine, were summoned TO attend meet
ing of the Budget Committee of the
Chamber Of Deputies last evening
NJ. RibOt supported Admiral Besnard 8
urgent demand for a supplementary cretdh
of 100000 fraIcs for the construction
Of new ships and naval works.
Admiral Besnard cOntended that IL WAS
her position I'm the Mediterranean and
the North ana place new vessels upon
the distant naval stations.
After the departure OF the Ministers
NJ. Camille Peletan. reporter OF the COM
mittee proposed that four million francs
be appropriated on account OF the new
naval construction programme. This
proposal was rejected by the committee,
which also rejected all other proposals
for credit for new vessels.
NJ Peletan thereupon resigned, but
his resignation has not yet been accented.
II is said that the Government will be
able TO Withstand the attacks upon its
policy, which a number or deputies have
announced their intention to make in the
form OF interpretations.
The opposition newspapers declare that
the Government viii meet the Chamber
of Deputies I'm the same manner I'm which
a bankrupt would encounter his creditors.

ties reopened their session to-day, the oc-
casion passing Off without Incident.
