Mr.. EDITOR ! notice that one Of
the subjects discussed by Martha Pan
coast and Mary Moore, at the annual
meeting Of the Gloucester County
Board Of Agriculture, held Mt Mnllica
Hill, was " Home Influences. DO we
realize at our Institutes equal benefits
from lectures and home talks Is
there n sufficient benefit derived from
holding OF Teachers Institutes to war
rant the expenditure of 80 large sum
Of public money? They might also
have added the loss Of time, the Insti-
tute Of Hunterdon county involving Il
loss Of four days to thousands of
scholars and also peeuniary loss to
many parents. 1t is at a great sacrifice
that they can spare their children to
go to school, as their services are
needed to help support the family and
TO procure the common necessaries Of
life.
1 observe that at the last day Of the
Hunterdon County Institute there was
lecture given on Alexander Hamilton
and dance in the evening 1t can
hardly be conceded, even by some Of
the teachers, that dancing is among
the improved methods and qualifica-
tons necessary as efficient teachers.
There is one qualification that over
shadows all others that the conduct
OF the teachers should be such as to
Command the respect of their scholars /;
| and their example should be such,
both in and out of school, that it would
be safe to follow. Children are care
full observers and good at imitation.

Burglars visited New Hope ON Sat

evening they effected an entrance into
the Reading railroad station by prying

into the ticket office, but secured only

Tying the horse near the depot, they
set to work to force an entrance into l..
b. Gox's dry goods and grocery store
Before succeeding, however, they were

of the train gave chase to tho robbers
and caught up with them, but they
finally made their escape i'll the dark

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

As Christmas time approaches, II IS
an old and honored practice amongst
the Christian people to remember the
poor III generous way. There are II
few deserving families that should not
be forgotten while bountiful supply
is heaped upon tho more fortunate
ones. So let us all endeayor, while
we are enjoying mirth and merriment,
to SO arrange it that others who are
not 80 fortunate may share III the fes-
tivities of Merry Christmas.
The Lambertville Rubber Co. will
not make any stop this year for Christ
mas so 1t is now understood amongst
the hands, and if such is the fact, it is
a little out of tho ordinary, but owing
to circumstances, and considering the
stop which took place through October
and November, no doubt the boys will
be only too glad to make all tho time
possible for the next few months.
In speaking of Councils proceed
inSs i'll last weeks issue, we forgot to
mention similar case which came be-
fore Republican Council few years
ago, when James IL. Callnn was chosen
IA freeholder by Republican Council
They acted according to their con-
science and did what everybody Mt
that time thought was the proper
thing to do under the circumstances.
Now, if they were right at that time
(which every honest man believes they
werel what must we say in the other
case? One il Republican legislation
the other is Democratic rule.
We are often little surprised AT
some of the silly talk we hear amongst
our ward politicians. They actually
expect to see VIM. j. Bryan nominated
and elected in 1900! We were under
the impression that he was forgotten,
but recently iii an argument, he was
brought forth as one of the ablest fl
nanciers that ever existed. But, of
course, we take but little interest i'll
all this silly talk, as the sixteen o-one
argument WAS worn threadbare in 1896
and the whole business exploded.
Prosperity is beginning to be felt in
earnest now. The railroad shops here
started in on six daysper week. This,
of course, will be quite big thing fl
nancially to those who are employed
there. AS their wages have been pref
ty low, and only working five days per
week, it left them rather short, espec-
tally those who had large families to
support. Things are picking up all
over the country. There is now doing,
and always has been done, quite bit
OF work at these shops, but the men
have been forced on short time for a
number of years. With better times
in view, we hope this "short time"
will hereafter be entirely out Of date
in our railroad shops.
This is about the time of year when
the good wife looks well after the vel
fare of the household and insists upon
getting up early and having Il nice
warm room for her husband before
calling him to his breakfast. She has
an eye to business and knows Christ
mas time is fast approaching. She
likes to be sociable and agreeable and
taffy him up. OF course, she is lit
tie delicate in telling him, but will give
him a hint occasionally about those
lovely hats which are to be seen in the
different shops, and reminds him OF
the hat he gave her two years ago this
Christmas and how nice she looked
when it was new.

Editor Of ne LambertriHe Rcc0fd
Much hasrecently been written about
new Jail for this county. am glad
to be able to say that the capacity of
our present jnil seems to be ample, but
from personal observation some inn
proyement is necessary
|. 1t is impossible to keep prisoners
III separate confinement 80 that they
cannot communicate with each other.
2. Prisoners detained rs witnesses
and debtors must submit to same treat
mentas tramps or dangerous criminals
3. Female prisoners cannot be con
fined 50 that they will be entirely iso-
lated from interference Of other pris
oners.
a. The plumbing is entirely made
quate for sanitary or bathing pur-
poses, even considering only one sex,
and doubly so concerning both.
8. There is window i'll the Jail by
which persons on the street can com
municate with persons inside And
| believe that whiskey and tools for Jail
breaking have by this means been re-
Gently furnished prisoners. And it is
fact that person on the street actu
ally assaulted prisoner inside by
throwing stones at him, with the result
OF several broken panes of glass.
A new Jail building may not be nee
essary; in fact do not believe it is.
And believe the necessary improve
ment could be accomplished by low
ering the floor of the present Jail by
improving the ventilation; by increas
ing the height of ceilings, and rear
ranging cells, rooms and plumbing
with modern appliances, to accomplish
all necessary results.
