roads. In fact they say the contracts for
building these two roads are already made.
1t is also said that the syndicate is
backed by plenty of capital and that while
the books will be opened here and
anyone who wants stock can take it,
the syndicate are not particular about
cent being taken locally. These gentle
men are in the electric road business, have
been over the route between here and Sax
tons River several times and have made
careful computations, and it is the firm
belief Of prominent citizens who are in
position to know that these gentlemen
mean business.
The meeting on January is the all
important one, and probably something
definite will be determined at that time
either for or against the road. All details,
such as where the power will come from,
and where the tracks will be laid, and if
constructed whether the road will be built
the coming season, are at present mere
speculation.
The people in this village and Saxtons
River take a deep interest in this road,
and on behalf of large majority we
assure the gentlemen from Burlington that
if they really intend to build the road they
will have the hearty cooperation of the
people. Every courtesy which will assist
in furthering the matter, will be extended.
How much stock will be bought remains to
be seen.

MAKING CHANGE FOR TWO.FIFTY.
1t win Break Up tho system of the Aver.
age Cashier.

1t was only little two -dollar-and-a :
half gold piece, but 1t Is surprising the
amount of trouble a little thing can
sometimes make.
The young man had handed 1t to the
cashier In the restaurant. and was
waiting for his change, while behind
were two or three other people wait
fHg TOT MIN to get out Of the way.
But cashiers are methodical. and fur
thermore, nine-tenths of them have
one certain way Of making change
that involves dealing in even dollars,
as general thing. No matter what the
size Of the bill, they take the amount
of the purchase out Of the first dollar.
If 1t Is below that figure, and then hand
over the rest of the money in dollars or
bills of larger denomination.
That was what puzzled this cashier.
"Oh! Two dollars and a half" she
said, while she was trying to make a
mental calculation, according to her
usual system.
That's what it is" replied the young
man.
"Of course" she returned, slipping it
into the drawer. Check, 40 cents" and
she counted out 60 cents in order to get
on the dollar basis as soon as possible,
after her usual fashion; lone dollar,
two dollars, three dollars-no; that's
not right"
She was red in the face as she drew
the money back and began over again,
realizing that the paltry half dollar in
the gold piece had thrown her financial
system out of order
She made three trials before she got
the right amount Of change on the cOun-
ter, and-well, If you don't believe that
two-dollar-and-a-h -halfgold piece will
knock out" the average lightning
change" cashier. try 1t some time and
you will be convinced.

MARKET AND STOCK REPORT
Wall Street Review.

New York. April 23.-The revival Of
the Venezuelan war scare in London
was promptly reflected in a decline at
the local stock exchange Of anywhere
from !. to IA per cent. In prices. In
the de0line Sugar and the tnterna-
tionals were most conspicuous. The
selling for foreign account played di.
rectly into the hands of the sold-out
bulls and the latter attempted to force
further liQuidations. They met with
little success. however. as commission
houses bought literally at the decline.
AS result Of this buying the Changers.
Missouri Pacific, Michigan Central,
Lake Shore. Jersey Central and New
York Central sold at the best figures
attained since the current bull move
ment was inaugurated. In the last hour
of business Tobacco suddenly broke to
69a Early in the day the stock brought
74is. The slump was due to an uncOn-
firmed rumor that an injunction had
been obtained restraining the payment
of the scrip dividend recently declared.
The break in :he stock had but little
influence on the general list. which held
fairly steady to the close. Net changes
show losses Of ha1h per cent, Sugar
leading. The Grangers. however, show
slight gains for the day. Tobacco lost
per cent. Total sales were 219,S S99
shares.
