Baltimore. She would easily pass for a
woman Of half her age, and owes her present
state OF good health and probably her life to
The use OF DIR. williams PM Pills. A Herald
reporter called at the house a few days ago
and was informed that Mrs. Grove had gone
ont for a walk and would soon be back. The
scribe was ushered into the parlor to await
her arrival. The room gave every evidence
Of refinement and the care and attention OF
a good housewife. Choice books lay around
giving proof of the intelligence Of the family,
and the walls were decorated with many rare
articles OF virtu and bric-a-brac from South
America, japan, aud other countries. When
Mrs. Grove was announced the reporter was
astonished to find her such a young looking
and healthy woman. She Is well educated and
IL a fluent talker and interesting to listen to.
She, however, declined at first to speak OF
the results she hal experienced from taking
the Pink Pills as, she said. she did not like

However" she added, after some little hesi-
~tation, 'the pills did me 80 much good that

other sufferer know what they did for me-"

said Mrs. Grove, in reply to another ques-

portals OF her happy homo with q littlo

street and Water board Inspect
the New improvements.

The members of the Street and Water
Board visited Trenton yesterday to view
the brick pavements of that city. They
were the guests of Street COMMISSIONS
Ginder, who showed them every cour-
tesy and took infinite pains to point out
the progress and nature of the work of
laying streets with brick.
He drove them over the Greenwood
avenue, jackson street, West State street
and North Clinton avenue pavement and
took them to see the work of laying
Bellevue avenue, now going on.
The Commissioners were highly graft
fed with what they saw, being convinced
that they had obtained many good points
to take back home with them. They
congratulated the officials of Trenton on
securing such good and cheap pavements.
The brick pavements in the Capital,
with the exception of North Clinton ave-
nue., which is Laid on sand, are laid on
a six-inch concrete. At Jersey City the
first bids have just been opened for
brick pavement, and before awarding
the contract the Commissioners wished
to see the pavement laid. The specihca-
tions called for a four-inch concrete
base.
They decided thai hereafter they will
use a six-inch concrete base and the
same cement and concrete that is used
in Trenton. The lowest bid they receiv-
ed was several cents a square yard high
er than Trenton pays, although only a
four-inch concrete was required.

Nickerson found Susie Silven, aged II.
and Jennie Euwick, aged rs, the escaped
inmates of the State Home, Wednesday
afternoon. He says that the girls were
not in the least insane. 1t is stated
that they were incarcerated at the in
stitution for other reasons than feeble
m~indedness. When found they were ac>
companied by an unknown bicyclist, who
was aiding their escape. Upon Nicker-
sons appearance the cyclist fed. but an
effort will be made to apprehend him.
How the girls escaped from the ~institu-
ton, if unassisted, is a mystery. Miss
Silven, who is unusually g~ood,looking,
was brought here by him last May, .os,
tensibly, 1t is saidb to do writing, but
when they arrived in Vineland she was

This discrepancy was not looked for. In
all the municipalities of the State, the
appropriation of the State school FUND
is regulated by the number of children.
This money is used in paying salaries
in the schools. The enumeration of Har-
rison was officially returned to Trenton,
and later on notice was sent to the
Harrison board that the appropriation
would be $1,000 less than it was last
year. This meant hat salaries in the
schools must be cut down, unless the
