MAKING MORE POSTOFFICES
Bristow Changes the Policy of the
Last Administration.

Washington, May 19-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow has in
augurated a new policy as to the es-
Enlistment of postoff1ces. The last
administration exercised very con
sentative policy in dealing with this
question, holding that there were al
ready too many offices in operation and
that it would be better as a general
proposition not to have the offices too
close together.
The present regime has determined
to establish offices wherever any reas-
enable amount of business can be Sc
cured, with the idea of accommodating
as many people as possible. While
some attention is being paid to the rule
that Offices generally should not be
closer together than three miles, this is
not a fixed limit and many exceptions
have been made. The scheme is to
provide mail facilities wherever there
is a sufficient number of people or
an amount of business that would make
it pay, such questions as location near
a star or other route, however, of
course, figuring in the matter.

Political Notes,


The statement that Senator Parry has
withdrawn from the Senatorial contest is
rather premature, and has been circulat-
ed without Dr. Parry's authorization.
Samuel w. Semple does not want to be
left off of the board of election for this
county. evidently, as he is reported to
have denied the story that he voted for
Mckinley, and claims that his ballot was
cast for Bryan. Sam must want the place
badly to make such confession.
The County Republican Committee met
Saturday and in compliance with resolu-
ton adopted at the last county conven-
ton have issued a call for convention to
be held on July "a, to consider new rules
which will be offered on that day. This

that the different townships will select
delegates who will attend.

Old baymen and fishermen say that
never in their history have they seen or
heard of SO many blue fish as now swarm
Barnegat Bay. The blues are 30 vora-
cious that the squid can hardly be drop
ped overheard before it is snapped up. In
the neighborhood of Barnegat Inlet the
fish are being caught by the thousands
and they have penetrated in their search
for prey into remote parts of the bay
where they seldom visit. Schools of
weakfsh that come in their way are
relentlessly demolished. Tons of these
fine table fish have been caught and the
fishermen have not been able to fnd
enough barrels and boxes to ship their
catches to market. Weak6sh in the low
er bay are also biting finely, nearly 200
being caught by one party of three on
Thursday. Fishermen, however, fear
that this great onslaught of blue fish will
entirely destroy the weakfsh that are in
the bay and ruin the weakfshing.

River lads, the oldest of them eighteen,
and the youngest fourteen, into the coun-

Pendle, has confessed, duplicating his

in systematic attempt at small burglar
les, all of which had cigarettes for their
object. Confectioner E. L. Gwyer caught
young Pende getting in a back window
of his store. The frightened boy at once
told that it was himself and his brother
who had committed recent burglaries,
and they we're accordingly arrested. The
younger Pendle boy confessed to series
of misdemeanors, including FIVE robberies,
among them the pharmacy of Judge C. B.
Mathis and the photograph gallery OF
Charles Berrien, in each instance the OBJ
iect of their quest being cigarettes. In
this latter burglary young Pendle impli-
Gated Fred McDaniels.

The New Egypt base ball team and the
Toms River team crossed bats at Toms
River, on Wednesday, with the result of
a score of to |, in favor of our boys.
Toms Rivers crack pitcher, Bailey, was
in the box, but the way our boys got on
to him at critical stages made the specta-
tors feel blue. 1t Is true, that with the
assistance of the umpire, he struck out IA
men, but he was very unsteady and the
fielding of the Toms River team was
rocky. Hessly was in the box for the
New Egypt team, and the way he moved
down the heavy hitters was a sight to be-
hold. He struck out IL men and only
two got beyond second base, being very
effective at critical stages. The score by
innings was as follows:
