Grand Trunk Sunday Excursion.

There will be two special excursions
over the Grand Trunk tomorrow, one to
Gorham and Berlin and return, and the
other from Island Pond and intermedi-
ate stations.>
The first one, that to Gorham and Ber-
lin, will start from the Grand Trunk
station in this city at 30 a. M, and will
arrive in Berlin at 1916 noon, and leave
Berlin at p. M, arriving in Portland
at 8 p. m. This will be delightful trip.
Gorham is right in the mountains, and
a splendid opportunity is afforded to see
Mt. Washington and the other huge
giants Of the White Hills. The village of
Berlin is one of the liveliest manufacture
ing towns in New England and very at
tractive in it's surroundings. The fare for
the trip is but a dollar.
The other excursion from Island Pond
will afford the people of the towns along
the route a capital chance to come to
Portland, spend the day at the islands, or
in the city, go to Old Orchard beach, or
enjoy themselves in any other way they
may choose. The train will leave Island
Pond at 4.30 a. M, arrive at 9.25 a. M,
And return at 6 p m, The fare from
Island Pond will be but 81, 80 and from
Berlin 81.

Frugal Prussians.
Chicago Record.)


Prussia's financial strength lies in the
strict economy of her people. 1t Is aston
ishing how saving the average P1usstan
is. No matter how taxridden, no matter
how small their earnings, nineteen out of
every twenty laborers, mechanics and
small tradesnen manage to save out OF
their income. Servant girls, for instance,
ont of annual wages of $40 or $50 nearly
ALWAYS save half of that amount, and
when they marry there is enough to start
housekeeping on free of debt and with a
email sum of 800 or $500 in bank. A
striking illustration of this savingquality
of the toiling population is furnished by
the latest report of the Municipal Saw
ines Bank of Berlin. That is as safe as
anything under heaven, but the interest
maid is correspondingly low-3 per cent or
less. Yet on March 81, 1856, there was
in this bank on deposit matter of IT,
$50, sos marks, and on March 81, 1897,
there was an increase in deposits of 1,
1927 marks. The number of savings
bank books issued by this institution was
577. O64. and the average individual deposit
was 357 marks Thus 1t will be seen that
nearly every adult laborer in Berlin, and
the majority of their wives and sweet
hearts, had money on deposit despite the
very low wages Of many of them The
bank cleared net profit for the city OF
1902, 500 marks. OF these profits in past
years the city has thus far used l,112, 306

Myriads of Blue Fish.

Old baymen and fisherman say that
never In their history did they see or hear
of SO many bluefish as now swarm Barne-
get Bay. The fish are so voracious that
the sauid can hardly be dropped over
board before it is snapped up. In the
neighborhood of Barnegat Inlet they are
being caught by the thousands. and they
have penetrated in their search for prey
into remote parts OF the bay that they
seldom visit. Schools of weakfsh that
come in their way are relentlessly de-
molished, the fishermen frequently find
ing The surface of the water covered with
weakfish that have been snapped in two
bv the razor.like teeth of the blues, for
the bluefish will take but one bite out oi
his prey and then strike at another fish.
Tons of these fine table fish have been
caugbt. and the fishermen have not been
able to find enough barrels to ship their
catches to market. Wagons have visited
ali the shore towns in the vicinity. buy

from the merchants.

Weather and Crop Conditions.

The observers and crop correspondents
report for the week ending June 28th,
1897, that the weather conditions have
been more favorable during the past
seven days.
In the Southern section well distrib-
uted showers and decidedly higher tenn
perature have given great impetus to
all vegetation, especially, corn, sweet
potatoes and other tender truck. A very
destructive thunderstorm accompanied
by heavy rain, high wind and bail, did
serious damage in portions of Gloucester.
Salem, and the extreme portion of Cape
May counties on Friday evening last.
LII the vicinity of HarrisonvilIe, trees
were uprooted and much fruit blown off,
apples suffering the greatest damage !;
grain i'll many fields was badly lodged,
which will make the harvesting difficult:
corn was Frustrated. but may recover.
In this section the harvesting of hay is
nearing the finish, and fine crop has
been housed in prime condition. The
cutting of rye has commenced. and some
already in shock.
| In the Central section all growing
crops have improved, but still the nights
| have been too cool for the late planted
corn. The harvesting of hay and clover
has been pushed and large quantities of
both safely housed in fine order. Light
showers on the 23d, oath aud 25th fell in
scattered portions of Mercer and Hunter
don counties. Peaches and raspberries
still continue very promising; wheat and
rye are ripening rapidly.
| In the Northern section, the week has
been very favorable for all farm work;
much hay has been cut and cured; corn,
oats and potatoes are growing nicely, but
warmer nights are needed to advance the
late planted corn; wheat and rye con-
tinue promising, and are ripening very
fast. A good soaking rain in this section
| is desired and needed in order to advance
all late crops.

Takes Her Sermons by Wire.

Suffering from cancer and unable to
leave her home, aged Mrs. Margaret
FOrman, of Freehold, worried because
she could not attend services at the Pres
byterian Church. of which she has been
a lifelong member. Learning this, some
of the members about fortnight ago
said I'VE will bring the services to
YOU" And at their own expense they
put up a telephone in the church and
strung wires to Mrs. Forman's house.
They strung wires from every room in
the church, SO that whatever is going on
there the old lady is enabled to take a
pious part in it. She sits at the phone
in her house and listens to the preachers
sermon, nodding her aged head in ap-
pfoval of some particularly emphatic
passage that strikes her. She hears the
choir sing and In feeble voice joins it. 1t
is the same morning and evening. There
has been a revival service at the church,
and Mrs. Forman was much edited by
the experiences related there. The meet
ings of the choir, too, entertain and edify
her.

The Popular Douglas Shoes:

There is no shoe made for mems wear
that has attained a greater popularity
than tine celebrated W. L. Douglas shoe.
The fact that they combine style and
quality at low price has given them
universal Endorsement The manufac.
ture of these shoes has made it possible
for man in the most ordinary circum-
stances to keep himself provided with
footwear OF as good style as the market
afiords-the extremely low price at which
they are sold placing them within reach
of all.
The only cheap quality in them how.
ever is the price; in all other respects
they grade as high as any shoe in the
market. Their lasting qualities have
been fully tested and found to be un-
equalled. They are not only of good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance until complete
ly worn out-a very rare quality in even
the highest priced shoes. They are suld

OUR FACTORY INTERESTS,

Old Hands Returning More Help Needed.
Messrs. Will Yetman and Will Strick-
land have recently returned to Jamesburg
to work in the laundry. They were A l
.irOners in the Downs & Finch days and
we are glad to see them back: Messrs
Jos. b. Lane and II. A. Perrine, two
other first-cass ironers of the old firm
have also been working here for some
three or four months. Thus they are
coming back to us, their old love. and
we hope they will stay. Koblenzer &
Dazian have plenty of orders and have
been increasing their business every year
notwithstanding the panic. They are a
good firm and could use 100 more hands
in their several departments. OF late
eight operators have been coming from
Hightstown and they make as much
here, after paying their fare, as they did
IN Hightstown when the factory ran
there. 1t is believed it would pay the
Milltown Trolley Company to extend
their line to Jamesburg, via Old Bridge,
SpotsWoOu, Outcalt's and Helmetta, in
order to furnish help for our factory and
employment to the labor now unem-
ployed at Miltown and Intervening
places. In view of the big manufactur-
ing village promised at Outcalt's, this
project would seem to be feasible and OF
great value to the trolley. Let US see II

sonal Property. S64,75o; Total Debt,

Sixteen members out of tile seventeen
comprising the Middlesex County Board
of Assessors. met at the Court House on
Tuesday morning. The missing man
was William V.nSicker, the represent
ative of Raritan township He was tele
graphed for. as his presence was neces-
sary before the Board could take anv
final action. After transacting some
minor business the Board adjourned till
one O'Clock. Charles E. Kelly acted as
Chairman, and David Serviss as Clerk
Of the meeting.
Collector Serviss announced that the
State school tax to be raised by the
county this year is 1873. 90, while last
year it was S72 1866 20. He also reported
that the budget of the Board of Free
holders this year is S2O7 .S74, which is
about $50 900 more than last year.
1t came out that through the vigilance
of City Collector Fiorance, of New
Brunswick. the county assessors got hold
of a lot of bank stock held in the country
that has heretofore escaped taxation. 1t
is well known that for years people hold
ing bank stock in New brunswick have
had it transferred to somebody in the
county just before the assessor came
around.
Assessor Samsel's returns from Sayre-
vile township showed some 40 shares of
Peoples Bank stock. Mr.. Salnse4 seems
to have stirred up things generally in
that tow nship. He added about S55 600
to Sayre & Fishers valuation on real and
personal. ana also taxed several foremen
aud others who held boat property
Altogether he raised the total valuation
in the township from 1915 900 last year
to SAC, ,92O this year.
The total valustion Of Perth Amboy
was increased S91 600 on account of new
buildings erected there during the past

OF cotton; There was a good reaction in
cotton to-day. The early outlook was
gloomy Liverpool was one and one-half
slNty-fourths lower. and receipts were ex-
tremely heavy. Our market opened from
unchanged 70 points down, November
selling below cents. A big demand imme-
dlately developed and there was no pres
sure to sell. After the first hour the I'M
dertone Of the market was distinctly good
and prices gradually crawled upward. The
offerings from the south were light at the
decline, and this greatly encouraged the
bulls. Liverpool and New Orleans both
bought moderately here. The shorts COW
cred freely. January opened at 6.05c, ad-
vanced to ellie, declined to 6.06c, advanc-
ed to 6.17c, and closed at 6.15d6.16c, with
the tone of the market steady. The spot
demand has been brisk at these low prices
especially from the continent and the bus
mess has been large. We think the mar
ket is too low"
