The evening was devoted to exercises by
the young people and with marked
success, everything passing off finely.
The building was crowded and consider
by the visitors for the pleasant hours
enjoyed.
The Misses Ward, elocutionists, gave
an entertainment here for the aid of the
Ladies of K G. E. on Thursday evening.
The audience although not as large as
expected made up the deficiency in num-
bers, by the applause given, as one lady
put it. 1--WE are not critics, in the sense
as understood but we know q good
thing when we hear it, and 80 appreciate
the "Misses Ward" accordingly"

He Is an Artist.

robably but few of our readers know
that Capt Mark Townsend. ofLinwood,
is an artist, but the New York Herald
of last Wednesday contains a sketch
from his pencil of floating wreck in
Southern waters that is an obstruction
to navigation, and Capt. Mark made
its picture for the benefit of his fellow
Captains. We congratulate the Captain
on his artistic ability-tor anyone with
half an eye could tell what the sketch
was intended to represent. Not SO with
our own work i'll that line. Some years
ago when the Editor of the PRESS was
Supt. of Schools in New England town
he seized a piece of chalk and undertook
to draw a wheelbarrow upon the black
board to illustrate the method of teach
ing by object lessons and sketches. After
struggling awhile, he pointed to the
completed picture and said to the pri-
mary class, Children what does
this representa-, and every last one Of
them instantly replied, ga COW, Sir" 1t
was bad case of mistaken identity,
and since that momenent we have
never aspired to be an artist.

bicycle Repairmen's Woes.

Bicycle repairmen are in position to
Judge the merits of the different kinds of
tires brought to them for repairing.
They are generally unbiased in their
opinion as TO which tire is the best until
they try to repair it; then they soou find
out which is the easiest to repair, and
which stays repaired when it kas been
fixed. The following from dealer and
repairman in Clarkville, Tenn, may be Of
interest to riders:
Single-tHbe tires are not at all popular
here, for nobody can repair them when
they have trouble. | consider myself
pretty good repairman, and have never
been able to plug one of them SO it
would hold any length of time. Nearly
every rider of single-tubes here has
changed for Morgan & Wright.
Here is another from repairman in
New York City:
/ have used M. & W. tires for the last
three years, and the more | handle them
the better like them. / repair, on an
average, about one Nj. & W. tire to five
only few M. & WIS in this district, but
because when they are once repaired
they don't break out again in the same
place, like single-tube.
A Cambridge City, Ind, man also says:
l think / am a pretty fair workman,
and believe l can repair single-tube tire
as often as any one, but meet with
failure oftener than success, and, indeed,
find that the sinee-tube is generally un-
satisfactory. don't see what any on'
can see in little tire of this type TIN
recommends it.
Still another from Terre Haute, Ind,
bicycle firm:
They can say what they want about
single-tube tires, but we notice they give
up and come back for the NJ, & W.. when
they want tire that viii give good sat
-isfactory service. We had no trouble at
all with the Morgan 4 Wright tires, and
are going to use them this year. s -

"Fake" DISPATCHES.

Pleasantville is once more the
victim of the ''fake" correspondent.
In a dispatch to the New York
Herald of Monday, dated PLEASANT
vile, N. j., June 81 under the Scare"
head of "Whole County in Terror"
the following news (?) may be found:
Atlantic County is up in arms
over the epidemic of burglaries, and
citizens are sleeping with firearms
near their beds, and armed guards
are patrOlling the streets of every
town of any size. Every night the
gang appears in some different
section of the County.
Last night this place was selected
and the tobacco house of Robert
Willis, and the Cafe of Wesley NJ.
MegrOnigle were entered, etc."
There is not one word of truth in
the dispatches SO far as it relates to
Pleasantville. Neither of the places
were broken into, and the town was
never more peaceful and orderly than
at present. Such dispatches do harm
elsewhere, and it is an outrage that
Pleasantville should be slandered by
some malicious writer who seems to
take pleasure, from time to time, in
sending similar fake" news.

The monthly meeting Of the Borough
Council was held Monday evening. the
Mayor. and Councilmen Sooy, Frice and
Risley being present.
After reading the minutes of the previ-
GUS meeting, and ordering few small
bills paid, petition from the members
of the W. C. T. U. for lighting the streets
was received and filed.
The Road Supervisor was ordered to
make the road leading from Job Risley's
to w. Bowen's wider and better to ac-
commodate travel.
The tramp question was discussed and
measures taken toward the erection of
some cells to accommodate such of their
number as seem disposed to violate the
law.

Mayor, after revising the license ordi-
nance and restoring the old rate of $40

MERCER COUNTY SCANDAL.
The Board of Freeh0lders liable
to Indictments for Ma1feasance
In office. Commissioner Budd
gets 1t s'in the neck"

The Board of FreehOlders liable
to Indictments for Na1feasance
I'm office. Commissioner Budd
gets 1t ''in the neck"
1t seems there is one County in New
Jersey where the County Board of Free
holders cannot go on forever defying
public sentiment and doing exactly as
they please without being called to
account for it. The Mercer County
Freeholders thought they could, but
now, with the doors of the State Prison
staring them in the face and the whole
Board subject to Indictment, they find
there is hereafter. By means of
neglect, false measurements, collusions
with contractors, and ail-around
"crookedness" Mercer County was
swindled to the tune of twenty thous-
and dollars in the construction of two
roads, and was also "plucked" in the
award of coal and other contracts.
Upon the petition of "a citizens the
Court ordered an investigation, and
the Commission was in session for weeks
ascertaining the facts in the case. 1t
concluded it's work about two weeks
ago, and last Friday Chief Justice Gun
mere, of the Supreme Court, reconvened
the Grand Jury and practically told them
to indict the whole Board of Freehold
ers for malfeasance in office upon the
strength of the facts contained in the
Commissioners report.
State Road Commissioner Henry ].
Budd, who, one week ago last Saturday,
gave his approval to the construction
of the $4,000 "Terrapin" Road in this
County, for which no one petitioned,
got it "in the neck" from the Mercer
County Commissioners as follows.
"Henry ]. Budd, State Road Com
missioner, stated he knew Supervisor
Henney was not fitted for his position,
and did not remove him as the law COM
manded him to do. He also declared
that he knew the road was defectiveiy
constructed, but did not attempt to
remedy it. He could have prevented
the ultimate state of things if he had
refused to pay over to the County the
one-third cost from the State. He was
responsible for the specifications. They
came from his office and the Commits
sioners hold that the specifications are
directly opposed to the law"
The taxpayers of Atlantic County
have cheerful prospect ahead of them
if the State Commissioner is the kind of
man the Mercer County Investigators
say he is.

The Greatest Number Ever seen
In Atlantic County.


The Greatest Number Ever seen
In Atlantic County.
The Century" run of wheelmen from
Philadelphia to Atlantic City, on Sun
day. brought together the largest num-
Der of bicyclers ever seen at one
time in Atlantic County. The run was
made under the direction of the Kenil-
worth Club, of Philadelphia, joined by
several other organized clubs and numer-
GUS unattached wheelmen who Joined the
procession. There were, in all, 1886
who left Philadelphia at O'Clock in the
morning and reached the shore end of
the Meadow Turnpike shortly before 10
A. M. The road seemed solidly packed
with moving wheels and their riders for
distance of three miles, and numerous
''stragglers" came straying along for an
hour or more after the main body had
passed. After dining in Atlantic City
the return trip was made, and the head
of the column reached Pleasantville
shortly before 1.30 p NJ. There was
about every kind of wheel to beseen, and
several handsome tandems. A dozen OF
more ladies accompanied the party, and
one little girl, apparently less than ten
years old, attracted considerable atten-
ton because of the ease with which she
rode, and her ability to ride a hundred
miled in one day. The display of caps,
costumes, hosiery and legs was
variegated enough to suit the most criti-
cal taste, and was fully appreciated by
the numerous spectators. Quite large
number of people gathered at the junction
of the TURNPIKE and Shore Roads to wifi
ness the novel sight, for it is not often
that two and half thousand riders are
seen together in country village. The
wheelmen seemed to be q very quiet,
well-behaved crowd, and there was DO
rowdyism or boisterousness along the
line of their march.

suicide I'm AtlantIc city.

Miss Emma Lloyd, the twelve-year
old daughter of Mrs. L. A. Lloyd, of
the Dudley Arms Hotel, deliberately
committed suicide Monday night, by
inhaling Illuminating gas. Before
retiring she turned on the gas, after
tightly calking the windows and
doors to prevent the admittance OF
air.. No motive is assigned for the
rash act beyond the conjectured one
that it may have been love affair.
The young lady was pleasant and
attractive and had many friends.
