Cruelty"
Editor Gloucester County DEMoCAT.
DEAR SIR would like to ask through
the columns of your valuable paper whether
there is any law against cruelty to animals
in Gloucester county, State OF New Jersey.
I think the most cruel operation ever per-
petrated was the docking of a COWS tail,
which was done lately by some one in
Deptford township, near Woodbury., and
think attention should be called to it
through the columns of the public press.

The conference was held in Moab,

warning for the Saints and there Is no
happiness outside of the Spirit of God.

them to keep the commandments OF

A Two=Mile Hole
Now Being Dug Just Outside
OF Pittsburg.
TO Make Earth's Heat Furnish Steam For
Surface Needs.
Philadelphia Enquirer. I

The deepest hole in the world is being
dug just outside Of Pittsburg, under the
direction of Prof. VIM. Hallock, of
Columbia College, and before the
cold weather sets in he expects to
prove that the interior of the earth is
q vast furnace, capable of furnishing an
inexhaustible supply of steam.
Already the hole has been bored to a
depth of nearly 5000 feet, and by the
first of November it is expected that a
depth of 10000 feet will be reached, or
approximately, two miles. The second
deepest hole in the world is the Shaad-
back salt well, near Leipsic, which has
depth of $40 feet. A well recently
sunk near Wheeling, w. Va, has a
depth of 1900 feet, and in the Speren-
berg salt well near Berlin, has depth
of 4,l70 feet. In East Silesia boring has
been going on for some time in a well
which is to be sunk TO a depth of $500
feet, but the Pittsburg hole easily leads
them all.
When the boring at the latter place
first begun, it was merely for commercial
purposes, and both gas and oil were
struck i'll paying quantities few feel
below the surface. The company own
ing the plant, however, at the solicita
ton OF Prof. Hallock, was induced to
carry on a series of temperature investi-
cations, and for several months the
work has been under the sole direction
of the college professor.
There is comparatively little expense
attached to the work, as the gas found
near the surface is used to operate the
powerful engines which do the drilling.
There is some outlay, of course, the
main expense being the wages of the
necessary workmen, but when the hole
is completed the company expects to
have bonanza that will endure as loi. g
as the world lasts.
Prof. Hallock was induced to try the
experiment of finding natural steam
by the knowledge of the proven fact
that the earth grows steadily hotter the
deeper it is penetrated. From the prog
ress already made it is believed that the
temperature of the earth is sufficiently
hot at about $500 feet below the surface
to convert water into steam. In other
words, it is believed that the tempera-
ture at this point is 2l2 degrees.
AT 10000, feet the proposed depth of
the well, the temperature is figured to
be DDS degrees. If, however, these es-
Inmates are not realized, the drill will be
kept working until the truth or falsity
OF Prof. Hallock's theory is proved be-
yond peradventure.

For the CLIMAX
DID We KNOW.

DID we know that down the road,
With each day are drawing near,
Trials that will increase the load
OF the burdens that we bear?
Did we know of future sorrow,
Or its coming shadow see,
Would We eager wait the morrow
OF a day that cannot be ?
If we knew that loved ones with us,
We should never meet again
That to morrow death would part us
Would We thoughtless give them pain ?
Would their eyes upon rs turning,
Catch the frown upon our brow,
Or the hasty words, heartburning
There, be spoken to them now?
How those haunting thoughts remind us,
As they lead our memory back,
To the harm We left behind us,
Strewn upon the rearward track.
Like thistles sown in thoughlessless,

Till the coming of the harvest,
We shall reap them later by.
Why should blossoms of the springtime,
And the notes OF Natures song,
Floating on the golden sunshine,
Be neglected until gone?
Strange that flowers all around us,
With their fragrance in the air,
Until Winters sorrow surround us,
Never seemed to us SO fair.
If from the changeless mists of time,
God would roll the screen away,
No beauty ever more sublime,
Could adUrn the face to day.
And voices that our memories fill,
Gentle as We heard them last,
Would come with softer cadence still,
Through the portals OF the past.
Let us reap the Joy and gladnsss
Then, that lies along our way,
Leaving thorns OF pain and sadness
To the dust of times decay.
Let us gather while there's blooming,
Hope and pleasure on our road,
Ever patiently removing,
Briars tangled on our load.

WHAT'S THE NATTER WITH M'cREARY
FOR CONGRESS?

stamford Journal.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
table of the vote in this, the Eighth
Congressional district, which, while
a big improvement for Democracy on
the result Of last year, is stIll not as graft
flying and as decided as it might be. 1t
will be seen that Shackelford bea,
Bailey, Republican, only $50 and when
the vote tor the other candidates for APP
pellate Clerk are subtracted from that
Of the Democratic candidate it will show
that he lost the district by 945. We
repeat that, viewed in this light, the sit
uaiion is not as rosy as We could wish, es
pecially i'll district that used to be sure
for Democratic majority of anywhere
from. POO TO 5000. Although nearly d
year before the election, it is not too
soon to begin to discuss the question Of
who can more certainly and more com
pletely redeem the district and give it a
representative in Congress Of whom it
will be proud. 1t is no time for scram-
BILE for the office, no time for short hOr
ses to enter and none but those possess
ing capacity, integrity and undoubted
Democracy should he considered. The
very best and strongest man should he
our standard bearer, one well known
in the district and in whom the people
have confidence, and who is able to cope
with the best speakers that the Repub-
Iicans can produce. There will be no
other Cffice to be filed next November
aud the man who wins will have TO do
so without the aid of other candidates.
Therefore it will require one able 10
bear the burdens and responsibilities Of
the campaign, good organizer and a
man who can meet the opposition in
every proper way.
We believe that all these qualifica-
tions are more fully combined in Hon
James Ii. McCreary. of Madison, than in
any other man in the district. Every
body in the Eighth District, which he
represented So faithfully and with such
distinguished ability, knows him and ne
one doubts his capacity or his integrity
To our mind he is the one man who car
redeem the district and restore it to the
position to which it is entitled and to
which he contributed so much. Hi
Democracy is beyond question and golC
bugs and silverites alike have confidence
in him. Last year he stepped aside t
give others a chance, and the result WI
the district was lost to Democracy by
