NOTES.
The sign on the street car said it was to
be the Funniest" game of the season, and
true enough 1t was.
The record which the Cubans were
compelled to carry to Jersey City the
next day was heavy load indeed.
Most everybody in the grand stand had
the Mysteries while waiting for Kingdom
to catch that long fly in the eighth in
ming.
"Have you any extra pitchers ?" some
one in the grand stand ventured to ask
Harrison. EYES," he replied, 'but the
handles are broken of.
The game on Friday has revived base
ball enthusiasm in Mount Holly, and it
looks as though money could be made if
similar strong clubs should play here.
THAT short stop must have had pneu-
matte pins under his feet" remarked Har-
rison, as Gleason jumped in the air and
caught liner with one hand in the sew
enth inning.
The Cuban's short stop found horse
shoe and he appeared on the diamond
with it fastened to his leg, but the score
broke the fallacy of the old adage. There
was no luck in it,
T. Pop Bowker was heard to remark,
when it looked as though they we're

Hotel. I'd fixed them fellows all right"
Harrison, who has pretty large open
ing in front of his face, said in the fourth
inning that their machinery was squeak
ing, and that if they we're going to get
any more runs they would have to oil up.
When Harrison thought the Cubans
were going to win, he said they would
have the ham and Mount Holly the eggs.
Nit The Giants were served with eggs,
and they came near being goose eggs, too.
While coming up on the train the Gu
bans asked Dobbins who was going to
pitch for Mount Holly. ''Stecher," he
promptly replied. "Well," said one, Il
guess we can't win out to-day" and they
didn't
When the game was over some of the
colored men about town went up to the
Giants and said well, the umpire

replied one of them, he was bully fell

remarked prominent citizen. Those
fellows will simply make monkeys of our
boys, and don't want to witness such an
exhibition of ball playing" But never
theless this same gentleman was drawn
to the grounds by the crowd and became
one of the most enthusiastic shouters
At the ending of the first half of the
ninth inning some of the people began to
move, but the gentleman in question was
so interested IN the game that he remark

Trnok Thieves Ahnnt.

Farmers driving through Camden com
plain that the usual petty thleving incl
dent to the shipping season has com.
menced, and from all sections of the near
by roads leading to the various ferries,
scores of robberies are reported almost
nightly. This system of petty thieying
has grown to an alarming extent during
the past FIVE years, each year the depre-
dstions on the farmers wagons becoming
more frequent, until at last forbearance
has ceased to be virtue, and both grow
ers and teamsters are now considering
what steps to pursue, with the chances
favoring the melting out of summary
punishment to any thief caught.
AS hundreds of the large produce wagons
90 into the market at all hours of the
especially between 10 P. M. and
3 A. M.-the thieves work under cover of
darkness, and succeed in getting away
with many baskets of produce, including
potatoes. corn, tomatoes, cabbage and APP
pies, without disturbing the drivers of
the teams. In many instances the driv-
ere, owing to being up all hours of the
night doze along the road on the way to
the ferries, only to find on their arrival
that several baskets of produce have been
lifted from the backs of their wagons,
while others of the baskets thus loosened
have been upset and their contents scat
tered.
A large number of the farmers have
purchased heavy canvas covers, which
are spread over the loads of produce and
tightly fastened around the wagon body.
But even this ID not proof against the on
slaught of the thieves, who watch their
opportunity, steal up behind the wagon
and quickly cut the covering and lift out
several baskets before they are observed.
The farmers in various sections of Bur
lington, Camden and Gloucester counties
send their teams out together, as means
OF protection, but this, too, has failed in
many instances, the adroit thieves getting
in their work on the rear wagon. The
greater number of the robberies occur on
the outskirts of Camden. in different parts
of Stockton, and at Gloucester City, in diff
ferent parts of Stockton, and at Glouces-
ter City and Pine Grove, and it is general
ly supposed the stolen produce is hidden
until sufficient quantity has been Sc
cured, when it Is sold to dealers or ped
died through the towns The police in
many instances have discovered both men
and boys at these thieving operations, but
in most every case the thieves have man
aged to escape. The farmers now claim
they will have to take the law in their
own hands and arm their drivers in order
to protect themselves from these thieves.

Fire Near Pemnerton.

The dwelling house on the farm of ex-
Freeholder Benjamin R. Powell, Jr.,
about a mile out of Pemberton, was
totally destroyed by fire this morning
at five O'clock
Mr.. Powell had gone to Philadelphia
with load of truck and Mrs. Powell
arose and made fire. Some of the men
thought the smoke was rather heavy for
an ordinary fire, so he ran to the house
and discovered flames on the roof near
the chimney.
In short time the entire building was
on fire and burned to the ground before
anything of value could be saved.

After meals you should have simply q
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do, you
have indigestion, which means not diges-
ton. This may be the beginning of so
many dangerous diseases, that it is hest to
take it in hand at once and treat 1t with
Shaker Digestive Cordial. For yoa know
that indigestion makes poison, which
causes pain and sickness. And that Shak
er Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial does this by providing the digestive
materials in which the stomach is want
ing. 1t also tones up and strengthens the
digestive organs and makes them perfect
ly healthy. This is the rationale of its
method of cure. as the doctors would say.
