JOY fills their tiny hearts, and their
eyes grow round and big like sauc-

amazement upon the wealth of

Aladdin had rubbed his wonderful
lamp in our store and a whole
army of genii had brought from the
workshops of fairyland the myriad
of things that go to fill the life of
the little one with bliss. It's just
like fairy story that has come

them within the doors of

Dies Sunday Morning after a Lingering
Illness.
At nine.thirty o'clock Sunday morn
ing, after an illness of many months, Mrs.
Abigail Moore, wife of Jacob M. Moore,
sank peacefully at rest at her home on
Franklin street, where for forty-one years
she has made her home. Death came
like sweet sleep, and as the spirit liber.
ated itself from the body, she was sur
rounded by all the members of her
family.
Mrs. Moore was born in Dutch Neck
upon the farm of her father, William G..
Moore, seventy years ago. A little less
than fifty years ago she married Jacob M.
Moore, and for eight years lived at Roads
town. With her husband she then came
to Bridgeton, and for over forty years she
has lived in the house in which she died.
One son came to her, Councilman William
}. Moore, and he with his father survive
the mother. She was consistent mem

many friends who with the bereaved
family mourn her death.

NO NOMINATION..

The Democrats do not Name a Candidate
for City Treasur
The Democratic City Convention was
held Thursdaynight, in the City Council
Chambers.
The delegates selected Isaac NJ. Smalley
as Chairman, and Warren S. Porch as
Secretary of the convention.
The delegates then considered the mat
ter OF naming candidate for City Treas
urer. John F. Johnson moved that the
convention endorse the nomination of the
Republican candidate, Samuel Hitchner.
This motion was generally discu ssed, and
it was thought best to leave the ticke
blank, rather than add Mr.. Hitchner's
name, and the motion was defeated.
After n uch discussion the convention
resolved not to name candidate 1t did.
however, authorize the appointment of a
committee of one, from each ward, with
power to fill the vacancy, if it was de-
cided to be proper. The committee was
John F. johnson, Fred Conner, Edward
Grosscup and John Smalley. The con
vention then adjourned. 1t was generally
understood that the ticket will not con-
tain the name of any candidate in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Hitchner.

ROCK AND PERCH.
Big Scoop of Fish at Bayside, Near Jacobs
Creek,

Big Scoop of Fish at Bayside, Near Jacobs
Creek.
Thursday inaugurated the season in
earnest at Bayside, when a ton or more
OF fine rock and perch fish were taken by
Bayside fishermen in gill nets. 1t is said
there have been few fish caught of Bay-
side, but yesterday was the banner day
this season and seemed to open up the
fishing season.
The objective point was Jacobs creek.
The fish ran nice size and there were
plenty of them. The fishermen are in
confident mood that this season will be
an early one.
Fish are bringing good prices and the
fishermen who are lucky to catch them
for the market at this time of wear will
make money. Every indication points
to good run of early fishing, so tho fish
ermen say, and it is hoped that this may
be true Rock is favorite fish at this
time of year, and they are fine to boil or
pan.

Lore went in body to Garrison's house

plate that beer could be procured there
and other proceedings were being carried
on which caused much comment from
outside parties, and then again, it is said
That Garrison was little too flip with his
smooth tongue. All this and much more
it is said, caused the arrest of the proprie-
place Saturday night.
The quintette were taken before Mayor
Appelgate and closeted for about two
hours. Those captured were put under
two hundred dollars bail. Two of them
secured bail, one of them being woman
of respectable family of this city.
