The improvements at the M. E.
church in this city are progressing, but
necessarily, the work goes slow. The
ceiling is now being put on. 1t is OF oak
and somewhat like that of the Presbyte-
rian church in this city, but not as heavy
in appearance. One large gas chandelier
with Welsbach burners, will light the main
audience room.

The Excise Board last evening, grant
ed license 10 Jas. II. O'Brien, TO keep
an inn and tavern on South Main street.
This location, we understand, is almost
directly opposite the First ward public
school, and the license is in direct opposi-
lion to the laws of the State and Of the
ordinances of the Excise Board. A ma
jority of the Board appear to have no re-
spect for law.
-Lambertville was well.represented at
the Knights OF Pythias parade at Phillips
burg, last week, many OF the members of
Lone Star Lodge being present. W. F.
Hayhurst, Past Grand Chancellor OF the
State, was among tho prominent officers
present and took an active interest in the
exercises. A very good portrait of him
was published in the Phillipsburg Demo
crdt of week before last
&C. /. Baumgartner has new adver-
tisement in this issue. Mr.. B. is one of
the best business men Of Trenton, and
does as fine trade as any. He is not so
noisy and pretentious as some Of the
stores that keep everything in the "dry
goods" line from candy to carpets, but in
genuine dry goods and ladies' coats and
cloaks, he has better, bigger and cheap
err stock Lambertville ladies should not
fail to call at his store and see the stock.
According to the Mayors proclama
ton, the time for the muzzlIng OF dogs
has expired, and they may now run at
large and bite and fight TO their hearts
content. 1t practically makes no differ
ence, however, for the muzzled dogs APP
pear to be able to bite just as well as
though they were unmuzzled. A day or
two ago one Of these 'muzzled" dogs al
tackled young master Tibbels, grandson
Of II. G. Savage, and severely bit him on
the arm. Such muzzling of dogs is worse
than a sham-it is crime, for people are
not on their guard against such dogs. The
man who wilfully puts on bogus muz-
zlc should be severely dealt with.
