ON behalf of those who are dying of

was most gratifying
The Choir promptly contributed 81,

But the most surprising results
came from the Lambertvi!le Rubber

sent at the service, prepared sub

among their fellow workmen
These men are frequently, perhaps
too frequently, requested to contribute
to all kinds of objects, and a subseript-

Two women visited some of our
merchants on Thursday evening of
last week and rendered ten dollars in
Confederate money in payment for
small bills of goods bought. At Titus
stationery store they bought n lamp
for two dollars and gave the lady clerk
one of the bills and received the change
in good money They next visited the
bakery next door, and in payment for
goods bought handed over five-dollar
Confederate bill but it was refused
and the women passed out, appearing
to be greatly surprised that the money
was not good They next went to
SCOTS shoe store on Coryell street
and purchased pair of shoes, tender
ing one Of the ten dollar bills and re-
ceiving good money in change They
apparently had laid in quite large
amount of this money, as they were
over in New Hope the same evening
and offered the bills to several mer-
chants there in payment for goods, but
it wouldn't go there and they were
chased out of town. Jacob Helms also
received one of the bills about three
weeks ago, but when he found he had
been swindled said nothing of the af-
fair to anyone The matter was re-
ported to the police and Mayor Wagg.
The Mayor went to work at once and
proved himself to be an expert in the
role of detective, and before noon on
Friday he had located the guilty par
ties ms residents of our own city, living
on the towpath in house owned by
Mrs. Drudy. The women were daugh-
ters of a Mrs. Dryer. Through the
efforts of the Mayor we learn that the
money obtained fraudulently has all
been returned Later, one of the wo-
men, Mrs Maggie Long, was arrest
ed at the instance of Prosecutor Hay
hurst, and was brought before Justice
Lyman, who placed her under 800
bail to appear at the next session Of
the county court. Her sister. Miss
Dwyer, has left town.

AssomhlXman Ehie' 5 resolution pro
'iding for the investigation of what he
chooses to call 'mushroom-an get
rich-quick building and loan associ-
atoms, deserves moro than,casual con
sideration.
The fact IS that under the laws of
this State building and loan associo-
tons are not carefully enough guard
ed. The officers have every opportu-
nifty that they could ask for to gull in
vestors in these institutions, and the
shareholders are absolutely without
assurance that the moncy they put into
the treasury of the association will
ever return 10 them.
The people of Trenton have recently
had an experience with associations of
this kind They have seen how easy
it is for the officers to shut the eyes of
investors to the true condition of the
finances of the institutions.
They have seen. also, the vast amount
of suffering and hardship that the fail
ure of the associations 10 meet their
obligations and promises bring upon
poor men and women Under the
present law, the honest management
of these concerns depends absolutely
ON the integrity of the men at the head
of them But at the present day and
date the simple promises of men are
weak security against loss
If the building and loan associations
were patronized principally by mon
capable of protecting themselves
against deception and loss, it would
not be necessary, perhaps, to put them
under State supervision, but the ellen
tcle of these concerns il largely made
up of poor and hard working people
who have little knowledge of the Inv,
and who are easily induced to invest
in any scheme Tint promises to return
them money two three or four fold. no
matter how unreasonable the PROPOSE
ton may be
We believe that the building md
loan associations should be put under
State supervision. They are, practi-
eally, Swings banks, and should he
subjected to the same restrictions and
open to the same investigation This
proposition does not please the mann
gers of the associations, and thnt is
one good reason Why il should be net

The situation on the Chinese const

of kiao-C hau has continued to hold
the foremost place in the attention
of the world. Nobody knows what
will happen eventually, but il is not
likely that the great game of Chinese
partition is to begin mt once In due
time, however, the Chinese empire
hids far to go to pieces. We have
been accustomed in times past to
think of the Chinese as several hum
dred millions of perfectly homoge-
neous people. As n matter OF fact,
although they belong to the great
yellow division of the human race,

We know as the Austro- Hungarian

of dialects IN China, and il often hap
pens that the people of one neighbor-
hood cannot talk with those wholive in
another four or five miles away. There
is no such thing in China as pcrva-
sive national feeling or nm imperial
patriotism, The various provincial
governments are not under firm CON
troll by the central government, and
such military and naval forces as
exist are provincial rather than i'm

provinces and sections hate each other
worse than they hate the foreigners of
