All Out.

All the County newspapers who
have heretofore had the little bit of
almost profitless patronage-the
printingpf the annual reports of the
County Board OF Freeholders-were
given the "marble hand,'' on Tues
day when the Board ordered the re-
ports to be printed in pamphlet
form. 1t is a small piece of business
too small for a rich county to be
engaged in. For the present year,
at least, this County will be the only
one in the state too mean to pay
few dollars to the newspapers for
spreading the o&cial reports before
tina people. As action does not
affect this newspaper, for The Plea
santyille Press has always been on
the blacklist because it dared to
tell and print the gospel truth with
out fear or favor. Our sympathies s
are with our brethren who "got
LETT, but perhaps they don't need
any sympathy after all. 1t is more
likely that the Board will need SYM
pathy after the County papers COM
mence to tan their hides for them.

The work of paving Michigan ave-
nue., from Atlantic to the ocean, has
started. The street has been torn up
and In a few days the stone founda-
ti0n will be put in. Telford will be
used, the same as on Vermont ave-
nue.. 1t is a crushed stone road and
nOiseless besides being very durable.
Council proposes to use the same
material on Pacific and several other
side avenues.
The enactment by Council last night,
OF an ordinance to grant the right to q
new concern to put up new telephone
line in this city, will, no doubt, produce
another certiorari, and legal battle in
the higher Courts. 1t is generally be-
leved that the old company will fight
the move. 1t was first claimed that the
ordinance was SNAKE" for the pur-
pose of giving few men a chance to
sell the franchise. Council, very wisely,
stamped this out, by inserting q clause
that the franchise could not be sold,
invalidating the ordinance if it was.
1t was further provided that all tele-
phones used by the city shall be furnish
ed free of charge, and that the city shall
have use of the top rod of every pole for
its own wires.-Atlantic City Press.

the picture Of Admiral Duey on his main

scare the Spanish gunners to such con-
dition that they will not know from
which end of the gun to fire from.

Rock-a-bye Baby.
Since Sunday morning it has been re-
marked that the editor of this paper
had seemed to grow taller. His step
was noticed to be flrmer in fact he fairly
stamped the earth like an ancient war
horse. The usual smile on his face had
widened to q broad grin. His friends
looked at him in astonishment but he
passed them by in contemUt. "What is
the matter ?" was the universal inquiry.
But none ventured to question him. But
the printers devil got down to it at last.
The Editor was doing in his chair and
in his sleep was heard to say :. .Rock-a-
bye baby-and q girl too and you
weigh nine pounds-You darling. Now
what will these buffers think Of them
selves-who have long been going
around saying was getting old and
childish-the FOOLS" That was enough
for the istner. He rushed down stairs
and related what he, had heard the
Editor say in his sleep. 1t can't be true
came with one voice from every one in
the room. But Doctor North says it is
as true as the Gospel. The little one is
q grand daughter to Ex-senator Newell
and is the actual great grand d-daughter
of Capt. James Newell who was q sol
dier of the Revolution and fought under
Gen. Washington.

ALBUoUERQUEs FLYING MACHINE
II. n. Bolts Invents a Ship That win Fly
Through the Air.

II. N. Bolts Invents n Ship That will Fly
Through the Air.
II may remain for an Albuquerque
mar to make possible one OF the prejic-
tiOns Of the famous prophecy Of Mother
Shipman, namely, fly through the air.
The many dying machines that have
thus far been brought out, having failed
In their successful realization by their in
y%entors, the public is beginning TO look
upon the air-ship man as kin to the per-
petual motion advocate.
The surprise will be all the greater to
the people and the victory the more sweet
to h. IL. Bolts, the inventor OF the latest
flying machine, a representation Of the
model OF which can be seen In Berry's
First street drug store.
IL Mr.. Bolts machine fails TO come
up to expectations, more than he will be
disappointed, as everyone who sees the
kite-shaped affair feels that the inventor
has hit upon the true solution of sailing
through the air at last.
The miniature model is called Cuba"
As stated, the craft will be in the form Of
a huge kite, probably 30 feet across. The
propulsion paddles are placed above the
kite attached TO a mast which extends
below II. Ropes are attached TO the bot
tom Of this mast which extends aud sup
ports the side Of the kite.
The propelling paddles are 16 feet
wide, and their motion will be regulated
by a smaller system OF paddles at the
kite. where Is also placed the rudder.
Directly under the kite is the basket,
where the operator will take his place.
From here he can operate a small gas
Oline engine, which will furnish the
means Of lOcomotion for the machine.
Mr. Bolts IL confident that he has
learned the secret Of regulating the ma
chimes course in the air, a point in
which other inventors have had their
chief failure. Mr. Bolts believes that his
ship will carry about 600 pounds.
