STATE NEWS

The planting of mines in the Della
ware has seriously affected boats plying
between Salem county ports and Phila-
delphia, and the rules issued by the Gov
eminent, which went into effect Thursday,
will not only cause the fishing and pro-
but will also interfere with the travel of
coast steamers.
-Habitual use of whiskey caused the
death, Thursday morning, of Laura Rob
bins, domestic in the employ of resi-
dent of Merchantville. The woman came
home Wednesday night intoxicated, and
the following morning was seized with an
attack of delirium tremens She was
taken to the Jail, and died in half an hour,
apparently in frightful agony.
Pilot Lewis Fowler, of Cape May, ar
rived at his home on Wednesday night,
after his thrilling experience in being
carried across the Atlantic in an Italian
bark. He was landed at Marseilles,
France, being on the ocean two months.
1t is rumored that the Hudson County
Board of Freeholders will reduce ex-
penses by dispensing with the services of
a few of its many useless employees. The
last Grand Jury made a presentment
against the Freeholders for retaining on
the ay-roll lot of men who hold sine
cures.
Rev. John P. Hunter, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, of Hoboken, who
has resigned his pastorate, announces that
he does not propose leaving Hoboken.
He intends building a new church, in OPP
position to his present church, which he
leaves on May 8th. The pastors friends
say the trouble is largely due to the trus-
tees, whom no pastor could please.
The Hudson County Wheelmen, of
Hoboken, at meeting on Wednesday
evening, decided to organize cycle corps
for war purposes and volunteer their ser
vice to the Government. A recruiting list
was started and forty seven members
signed the roll. The club is the leading
bicycling organization in Hudson county.

Ancestors and Ancestry.

Now it must be admitted on common
sense principles that the formation OF
hereditary societies has reached nat
ural limit, and it is time to cry halt.
The reasonable conclusion is that these
societies should unite in work, if not in
organization, and justify their existence
by practical deeds. The end, however,
is apparently not yet. The ancestor
quest drives its followers to absurd
lengths. Forefathers conjured up rise
from the genealogical caldron in a sort
of harlequin procession-the ancestor in
buff and blue, the ancestor in scarlet
tunic, the bewigged ancestor, the jack
booted ancestor, until from the dim
twilight of heraldic tradition the crown
ed ancestor looms up in the shadow. Is
there not something decidedly incon-
gruous in the spectacle of descendants Of
those who babe defiance to the third
George of the name seeking to establish
kinship with royalty through Saxon
chief or Norman freebooter? Does not
this latest departure tend to prove that
ancestor hunting has no limit, that 1t
is simply a question Of enterprise, re-
search and credulity? If we may estab,
lish the Order of the Crown, why may
we not in due course welcome a new
hereditary society, lineal descendants of
the mariners of the ark, the Ararat
chapter, with proper nsignia-suspend

1.-THE Great Lakes is the subject Of
an article in st. Nicholas. The author,
W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior:
Another very interesting and very
sad thing about this lake is that it never
gives up it's dead. Whoever encounters
terrible disaster-happily infrequent in
the tourist season-and goes down in
the angry, beautiful blue waters, never
comes up again. From those earliest
days when the daring French voyageurs
in their trim birch bark canoes skirted
the picturesque shores Of this noble but
relentless lake down to this present
moment those who have met their
deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the
stone paved bottom. 1t may be that so
very cold is the water some Of their
bodies may have been preserved through
the centuries. Sometimes not far from
the shore the bodies of people who have
been wrecked from fishing smacks or
from pleasure boats overtaken by cruel
squat have been recovered, but only
after the most heroic efforts with drag
net or by the diver. Once on trip
down the lakes l met clergyman who,
as we passed point of land some miles
before entering the narrowing of the
lake at the 500, pointed out the place
where the i'll fated Algoma went down
on the reef some eight years ago, and
as he looked he said slowly:
II was at the funeral of one man
who went down with her, and the only
reason his body is not at the bottom to-
day with the other 38 that were lost
is because it was caught in the timbers
of the vessel and could not sink F"

curled Horsehair For Market.

South America furnishes the greatest
amount and best quality of curled horse
hair, used for filling mattresses and
stufing furniture. On the wide pampa
many thousands of horses are bred
especially for the hair of their names
and tails. These between the round ups,
which sometimes do not occur in three
or four seasons, grow to great length,
but owing to the lack of care and the
state of the "camps, ~ as the open ooun-
try is called, the hair is usually tangled
in what seems an inextricable mass. All
over the camps grow many kinds of
burs and thistles, and the animals as
they Craze or roll themselves about be-
come covered with them. Their coats
are naturally rough, the hair growing
in an uneven, shaggy way. Stuck all
over with burs and with name and tail
matted into nearly unwieldy masses,
the poor creatures present comical APP
pearance. After they are shorn they
seem to delight in the freedom of crop
ped necks and short tails,
The hair when cut off is freed from
dirt and roughness Of all kinds and
wound into ropes, by which means it is
made curly. 1t sells for 80 cents OF 4S
cents pound. The longest strands are
kept separated and used for horsehair
furniture, cloths, etc. - New York

TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1898.

UNDER the provisions of an act on the
statute book, public officers are forbidden
to vote for any contract or improvement
in which they are interested. The penalty
is 81 900 fine or three years Imprisonment,
or both A decision on the points of this
law says: An ordinance providing foI
the purchase by city of the property OF
water company, stock in which was held
by four members of the common council,
who voted for the ordinance, is illegal,
because opposed to the policy and intent
Of this section" If any of the members
Of the Board of Freeholders hold stock in
either of the trolley companies, they had
better consider the situation before voting.
If the Spanish ever condescended to look
over anything smacking so much of trade
IS statistics they could learn much to theii
dvantage and see that accepting the med
alton of the United States would have
been far better than going to war. The
aggregate wealth of the United States in
in 1890 was $65, 037, O91, 1877, and the debt
per capita $32. 81. The wealth of Spain
was 81, 965, 900, 600 and the debt per capita
$71.27. At the present time the wealth OF
the United States is not less than ten
times that of Spain, and the debt of the
latter has increased enormously. The re-
lation of financial resources to war has
always been great, and modern ornaments
have increased the strain in this respect.
Spanish pride will come high, and it is a
sham at that Globe Democrat

DECISIVE action on the proposition to
grant franchise to trolley company
seems to be in sight, and it is probable
that the matter will be settled, so far as
the county is concerned, within a week.
Nothing has been lost by delay and dis
cussion on this subject, for whichever
corporation secures the franchise it will
pay somewhere near its value. Many ar
guments have been offered by the advo-
Gates of the rival ompanies, some of
which have almost reached the point of
'bulldozing." One of these was advanced
on Saturday when the paid attorneys of
the Monmouth Traction company boldly
asserted that it would not make any diff
ference if the county did grant to another
company it could not get through the
municipalities where the Monmouth
company has secured the right of
way This should not have any weight
with the members of the Board of Free
holders. If, in their opinion, the offer of
the New York and Philadelphia company
is the best for the county they should
grant the franchise to that corporation
and leave the responsibility to those
municipalities. If they want the trolley as
badly as they profess to it will do no harm
to put upon them the responsibility of
blocking the wishes of the people. If
they are willing to acknowledge that they
are owned by any one corporation, nobody
will object. To tell the truth there have
been too many open boasts that certain
localities are owned entirely by one con-
Germ. Let the Board of Freeholders act
only with the single idea of the
county's interest If other authorities
impose impediments, refuse franchise,
or compel change Of route, that is their
affair.

and under many conditions war might
very justly impose the severest caution in
financial, commercial and trade circles,
but our present war with Spain furnishes
no excuse whatever for the present hesita-
ton in trade.
1t is now safe to assume that our war
with Spain will cost the government from
$500, 900, 900 to s., 900, 900, 900, all of which
will be expended by the government and
diffused among the people. Fully 1876, 900
men will be Withdrawn from the indus
trial callings of the country, and it will
require the labor of twice that number to
furnish the additional supplies which our
army must consume. There will be very
general employment of labor in new chan
nels of industry; wages will logically in
crease; the means of consumers generally
will be greatly enlarged, and the volume
of trade within our own people must be
increased over the peace basis to the eX-
tent of hundreds of millions
This general increase in industry and
trade is not away in the distant future nor
is it in any degree in supposition. 1t is
absolutely certain and it must come
speedily. The coming month of May
will diffuse two or three hundred millions
among the people of the land, all of which
will go for American products. The price
of wheat and other agricultural crops is
steadily increasing, and there will be the
largest amount of money paid out for
wages and the creations of wage labor,
that this country has experienced since
the close of our civil war We are not
likely to reach fioodtide of initiation, but
there must be general increase in all
legitimate values and it will surely come
at very early day.
The business houses which are now
hesitating and curtailing rather than en-
larging their operations, do not study ex-
listing conditions intelligently. There is
not legitimate enterprise of any kind in
this country that must not feel the quick
ened pulsations in trade before the sum
mer shall be fairly upon us.-Phi1a. Times

The postmasters were free from all
public offices, from liability to quarter
soldiers, and they received gazettes free
of postage, "wherewith they advantage
themselves in their common trade OF
selling drink, and they have their sin
gle letters free to London"
The rates of postage in 1877 were
comparatively low. A single letter i.
g., letter consisting of one sheet OF
paper only-could be sent for any dis
lance up to 80 miles for twopence, and
and beyond so miles for threepence. A
letter weighing an ounce cost eightpence
for so miles and shilling beyond.
The mails were dispatched from Lon
don about midnight on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays and were due
to arrive in London early on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday mornings. They
were carried on horseback at the rate OF
five miles an hour, and they were liable
to detention of not more than half an
hour at each postoffice (stage) on the
road. England was divided into six
trimmings, or roads-viz west, Bristol,
Chester; north. Yarmouth and Kent,
starting from Plymouth, Bristol, Ches-
ter, Edinburgh, Yarmouth and Dover
respectively .-Notes and Queries.
