Trenton, July 2S.-The Mercer county
grand jury, which for weeks has been
considering the matters brought out by
the special commission which investi-
gated county affairs, yesterday finished
it's labors, indicting two persons. Those
indicted We're Freeholder Miller H
Cross, who sold coal to the county in
the name of Postmaster John M Hart,
of Vaudeville. and Hart himself. 1t
was because of the failure to indict
Cross, who had admitted the illegal
act, that Judge Gummere sent the jury
back weeks ago, with the criticism that
the jurors had either neglectfully failed
to obtain proof of Cross confession or
deliberately violated their sworn duty.

wheelman and throwing him 20 feet.
His wheel was a total wreck The
horse then made a dash around the
corner and threw the occupant of the
carriage upon the paved avenue. He
sustained several injuries. The horse
was captured one hour later, A horse
attached to a bottling wagon took
fright at an approaching train this
afternoon and made a dash for the
pavement, where it collided with trees
and tore the vehicle to pieces. The
driver was slightly injured
Asbury Park, July 25.-At the ma
tional services in the beach Auditorium
this afternoon, Rev. Thomas Dixon,
Jr., of the Peoples church in New
York, spoke on The Worship of Mann
mon" He said: Respectable poverty
is the cradle in which greatness is
reared. 1 am sorry for a rich mans
son. l never saw one who amounted
to a row of pins. Today millions of
people in this nation are out of work
oh, 1 am tired of talking to people who
are out of work. AS a preacher, it
makes me sick at heart. Whenever 1
hear of these natural born-fool politi-
clans laying their hands on the great
problems that touch the possibility of
mans earning his bread do you
know what l feel like? I feel like or

going down to Washington and hang

A Happy Summer Day.
FROM THE LIFE OF MRS. DOWNS.

"a halo hovers DER our golden sum.
mer day at Ocean Grove" writes near
friend. "When she brought home Ito
me this marvellous, unconscious power
of a good woman.
Perhaps it was a little thing, but no
sweeter memory of her fingers in my
heart to day. We had driven to the
Office, merry trio of US, begging her to
jump in, only for little ride.
''Down went the pen, and in twink
ling she was with us, only stopping to
get bonnet and seize bundle of litera-
tn re 'in case we should go near the life
saving station Oh, the glory of that
day How the sun shone How the
leaves danced in tune to the music Of
our hearts, and the sea waited to us it's
briny fragrance as we sped along its
shore; the sea that seems now, In my
thoughts, to be alweys sobbing, as of it,
too, remembered.
"HOw we laughed and chatted, we
thirty (three Of us) she seventy-yet all
the same age. We have just come from
the Summer School of Avon-by the Sea,
a mile below Ocean Grove. How we
fairly deluged her with an account of
the good times we had down there-all
talking at once.
This one must be listened to about
The Ibsen lecture; another. the Delsarte
lesson, or Madam LaPrince and the
sketching club; and she, taking it all in
with our enthusiasm, said: 'Oh, what
you girls can make of your lives Learn,
learn everything
Zone of the number, quick, intelli-
gent girl, is blessed with witty pen.
We had urged her to begin systematic
study of journalism; but her reply had
always been: 4 am too old; if l were
younger, would
Presently the subject CT conversation
turned upon the occupations opening up
to women. We said, is it not strange
there are no schools of journalism for
women? Why Mrs. Downs said,
there is one, and they are writing me
now about establishing branch here
next summer, and l am going to ente
the school myself. All my life l have
been writing, at sea as to real methods:
now am going to study journalism as it
should be studied
I'VE looked at each other, we three,
and said not word.
"After leaving the bundle of reading
matter at the life-saving station, and
kind word with the sailors, the happy
ride was over.

THE SUMNER VACATION.
; Change, Even II In Minor Things, VIII
Be q Great Benefit.

; Change, Even II In Minor Things, VIII
Be q Great Benefit.
In The Ladies Home journal Edward
W. Box gives some sensible advice upon
"Going Away In Summer. He points
to the mistake that, instead Of rest and
change, SO many women and girls, phys
ioally tired and In need of reouperation,
make Of their vacations a round Of con-
tinuous gayety, every moment crowded
with some excitement or pleasure. In
consequence the woman who goes away
for rest comes back tired and worn
out. Mr.. Box very truly says: "We all
speak Of going away when we start on
a vacation, but most Of us do not go
away Going away means cutting
ourselves entirely free from everything
that has entered into our lives during
the year, away from things which have
occupied us, away from disturbing trou-
bles, away from depressing surround
ings, away from ones daily self to seek
for ones best self, away from familiar
places and people. Such change means
change In ourselves, in our thoughts,
In our ideas, in our motives, in our out
look on everything. The idea that we
must ever keep ourselves busy, even in
vacation, SO that the mind may not be-
come rusted, is all nonsense.
For those who cannot go away Mr..
Box advises change In their mode of
living or in their daily work. "We need
a change in our lives" he contends.
"even If 1t is only a change of rooms,
of merely not sleeping in the same
rooms In summer as we do In winter,
or even a rearrangement Of the furni-
ture, Of the curtains, carpets or pictures
in our room-any change. No woman
is SO humble Of circumstances that she
cannot make her life pleasanter and
higher, bringing some change into it,
A rest at home, with the mind refreshed
by comprising minor changes from day
to day, is ofttimes as much needed and
as beneficial as long journey to other
places or in other lands. Ones limita-
tions are often of immeasurable good as
they show us how to get personal bene-
flt in spite of them. Going away in
the summer need not always mean leav-
ing the city or leaving ones home. 1t
is, of course, better il we can do SO, but
we can stay at home and yet 'go away
go away from things as we have had
them for twelvemonth and make them
different.

The New York Tribune says that "the
latest Jersey joke has for its subject the
calling of special session of the Legis.
lature to change the date for the election
on the. Constitutional amendments. And
why q change? Oh, some smart Aleck
thinks that he has made great discovery
BY ascertaining that the election is to be
held on the same date as the second
registry day in the first and second class
cities of the State. AS if that were not
perfectly we'll known before +! Of course,
it is impossible that all the legislators
and camp followers did not understand it,
but at least some of the Senators favored
the day chosen just because it is registry
day, and for the purpose of making the
special election less expensive. There is
no need to worry about the election
officers having too much to do. The
votes cast in Newark, Jersey City, Pater-
son, etc.. won't be enough to keep the
officers busy half their time."

a Right to Expect,

Every success attained lays new re-
sponsibility on him who attains it. We
have right to expect more of him who
has shown his power to do. No man
can fall back on his old record, except as
an Indictment to do well, or better, when
he tries again. What we have done
ought to be our lowest standard for
what we expect to do, and what is ex-
pected of us in the future. In this light
every success we have won makes it
more incumbent on us to do better next
time. unless s0e soould haze seemed to cease

The climate which the gold seekers
must endure in the Yukon gold regions
is not all of extreme cold. The summer
is one of heat and humidity, and the
Alaskan mosquito in numbers, size and
ferocity, makes the Jersey mosquito
luxury by comparison. The climate is
a peculiar one. The Japanese current
plays upon the Alaska coast, bringing
with it vast amount of humidity, so
that the heat of summer is very sticky
and oppressive. The heat and moisture
is so stimulating to vegetation that one
OF the great difficulties of prospecting is
the dense growth of moss, ferns, vines,
and other plants that deeply cover tie
soil. When it is remembered that the
work must be done in steaming heat it is
not difficult to credit the statement
made by those who have been there that
the summer causes more suffering than
the winter, although the thermometer
drops to more than 10 degrees below zero.
