ARvERNE CAN'T SELL ITS BONDS.
The Purchaser ForIeits Sl.Ooo Rather Than
Bay n Lawsuit.

The Purchaser RorTeits 0l. 900 Rather Than
bay n Lawsuit.
William z. r. Smith. a broker, Of 16 Broad
street, has refused to complete his purchase Of
tho bonds for $4,000 Of Arverne-by-the-Sea
He has forfeited 81 900. the amount paid on
them. rather than complete the purchase Mr..
Smith. however. may bring suit against the
village trustees to recover that sum.
Among the objections that have been raised
to this bond issue are that Arverne Is not a
legally incorporated village. as 1t has not now
and never had the necessary population OF 300
inhabitants required by the statute; that ma
jority of the trustees OF the village did not au-
thorize the election held on June 5, when this
issue of bonds was voted upon; that the cleo:
tion held on June 8, authorizing the issue of
these bonds, was held on Saturday afternoon,
which Is a legal holiday; that the statute per.
uniting only voters owning property to vote at
an election upon this issue OF bonds is unconsti-
tutional in that 1t deprives citizens of Arverne
not owning property and non;residents owning
property at Aryerne OF a right to vote on the
question whether their property should be
bonded for improvements or not; that under the
village laws the trustees have no power TO bond
the village TO obtain money TO macadam streets.
or to make sidewalks at the public expense;
that these bonds for 900 are void, for the
reason that Arverne has already bonded itself
for more than 10 per cent OF the assessed valua-
ton Of It's property.

s..,,rh, soan,s Latest scheme.

Messrs Lever Bros, Ltd, proprietors
OF Sunlight Soap, do nothing by halves
They have built up the largest soap busi-
ness in the world, first by turning out a
very superior article, and second, by
pluck and attractive advertising. Their
latest stroke in the United States Is a
bold one. 1t is Monthly Wrapper Com
petition, the tempting features of which
are the presentation of $3,400 in cash,
bicycles and gold watches every month
of the year 1897, to those who collect and
send in to Lever Bros New York Office
the largest number of Sunlight "cou-
pons." The total value Of the prizes to
be awarded during the year 1897 is $40 :
500.
This competition will commence in
January, when prizes, each of 500
cash, 20 second prizes, each of 800 Pierce
Special Bicycles, and 40 third prizes,
each of S25 Gold Watches will be award
ed to the successful competitors of that
month.
A great advantage in this competition
is that it is held monthly, and, therefore,
those who do not succeed for one month
have plenty more opportunities during
the year. Rules and tull particulars are
given in our advertising columns from
time to time The firm of Lever Bros,
| is thoroughly responsible and will do al
they promise.

by local applications, as they cannot reach

When this tube gels inAamed you have a

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless The Inflammation can
be taken out and this lube restored to its
