LICENSE QUESTION AT BRIDGE
DON

Bridgeton, June 16.-The liquor men
showed at Tuesday nights session Of
City Council that they had some design
on hand, which will probably be devel-
oped in about a month. They held a
meeting among themselves on Monday
night, and Tuesday night four of them
made application to City Council for
hotel licenses and licenses to sell malt,
vinous and spirituous liquors. Those
filing applications were George Kinl0le,
beer saloon; H. d. Paullin, City Hotel;
Stacey S. Lewis, Hotel Hohenstatt, and
Seorim Dubois, Dubois House. The
applications were laid over for one
month under the rules Of Council, with
out action. There are decided indica-
tions Of a weakening of the temperance
principles, which have been so strong
in Council and the liquor men are
hopeful OF securing a majority vote on
their applications in their favor.

SET FREE FROM SING SING.


 The Last Day of Prisoner Who Has
 'Done His Bit"-A Period of Ner-
 yous Strain and Anxiety-The Rou-
 tine of the Prison in Releasing Con-
 vict.
 In order to appreciate fully the value of liberty one should be present when the prison doors are opened and a con- vict who has for years been deprived of his freedom, who has been housed in a narrow, cheeress cell and has worked and messed with other convicts, is led out of the prison office free man. It is a scene which few people except the prison officials witness at Sing Sing, be- cause the graduation exercises" al- ways take place there early in the morning.
 The man whose misdeeds bring him behind the gray granite walls of Sing Sing, if he is "new man. with no ex- perience in the rite, goes through the initiation in a dazed manner. He an- swers questions as to his history in a mechanical way, and when he reaches the hands of the prison keepers he goes through the forms ofyweighing. bathing, having his beard shaved and his hair cropped with a childlike docility, and in most instances he realizes his true position only after the door of cell has closed upon him and he looks upon the garments in which he has been clothed and the place which will be home to him until the weary years have dragged away. Then the bully becomes the baby, and men who have braved danger in the pursuit of spells break down, and the guards as they pass the cells of the new men do not stop when they hear sobs and even shrieks of despair, because they come in the regular order of things.
 Then comes assignment to such work as the convict may be fitted for, and the first evidence that the new man is becoming accustomed to his surround ings and in a measure reconciled to his condition is when he begins to figure how much he will "get off, for good conduct and when his term will expire It matters little whether the man comes for three or for thirteen years. the calculation goes on just the same; it is always the first thing in the mind of the prisoner, and as the term draws to a close months are count ed, then weeks and finally days, and the strain becomes greater as the day of libera- tion draws near. Men who had been apathetic, who had acquirad the prison languor, brace up; they eat yell, work well, and even in the lockstep with their fellows they show the invigora- ! ting effect of the vision of freedom which is coming nearer daily.

GOOD ROADS AND RURAL MAIL
 DELIVERY.

At suggestion of Gen. Roy Stone, Di- rector of the office of road inquiry of the Department of Agriculture, the Post-ofiice Department has been mak- ing experiments with rural free deliv- cry of mails upon good roads. The object was to prove that improved highways in country districts would enable the Post-office Department to operate rural free deliveries at about half the present cost and time, thus permitting extension or twice-a-day service at little additional expense. The post-office officials selected four routes in Burlington County, N. J., for the test. These centre at the towns of Moorestown and Riverton, and lie over good stone roads. In most rural dis tricts it has been found impracticable, on account of the highway, to deliver more than twelve miles from the dis tributing centre. It was found that at the test places in New Jersey the mails colud be delivered twenty-two to twenty-four miles away in the same time usually taken for twelve, or in stead there could be two deliveries a day for little more than the usual cost of one.-Washington Star.
