FOUNDER BRADLEY has got EN-
again. He has induced the Asbury Park
City Council to cancel all the licenses OF
beer wagons, which were granted at SO a
piece only fourteen days ago. The argu-
ment which he used was a text from
Scripture, which to the ordinary mina
must seem strangely irrelevant. 1t Isl
Thy money perish with thee because
thou mast thought that the GIT OF 1oa
may be purchased with money.
Certainly, nobody but Mr.. Bradley would
ever think of classifying an Asbury Park
beer license as a gift of God, nor is 1t at
all likely that the beermen will proceed
to perish because their money is returned
to them.
On the contrary, they are likely to re-
joice. for there is no apparent reason why
they should not keep on delivering WIN
out license If they can only show hat the
beer has been shipped from some other
State and is in the Original package
Thus they will be ahead $40 each and the
city, will be that much poorer.

THE discovery Of a number OF bodies OF
persons who were on the Inflated steamer,
La Bourgogne, floating in the water IN
life-belts, suggests a still more horrible
tragedy than had previously been i'm
agined.
1t looks as if the ship which collided
with the French liner had left the scene
of the disaster too soon, and had failed
to make a complete search for survivors.
If this be so, bad as the scenes of cruel
ty and cowardice attending the sinking OF
the vessel may have been. they are sur
passed in tragedy by the fate which must
have overtaken the survivors abandoned
in the midst of the ocean to a slow death
from starvation and exposure.

AND all this comes from a measure
which has created dissatisfaction in ev-
cry class of the community except the
very rich. who are almost entirely i'm
mune from its operations.
It taxes the poor mans home, the ppor
mans tea, the poor mans flour, the poor
mans beer, the poor mans tobacco, and
Heaven knows what besides. 1t holds up
business at every turn-from the simple
operation of sending a telephone or a
telegraph message or selling a bottle of
medicine to the execution of a mortgage
or the transfer of a piece Of real or per-
sonal property by legal instrument.

SOME Of the practical atrocities of the
law were probably not contemplated by
its inventor. But in Mr.. N. B. Scott
there is a gentleman who will carry out
both the letter and the spirit of the
Act to the last fractional stamp. Here
Is a specimen, reported yesterday
The following question was forwarded
to the Commissioner: Where a mort
gage, executed in duplicate, is recorded
in various counties and States. must a
stamp be affixe to each mortgage dupli-
categ''
A despatch, in reply, reads:-"A mort
gage cannot be lawfully recorded in any
county unless it is duly stamped; there
fore duplicate mortgages must be stamp
ed If 1t is necessary to record them"
The ruling has been affirmed hat a re-
eeipt for monthly rent is taxable as a
s.memorandum contract"

NEW W0RLD'SREC0RD
PHENOMENAL TINE MADE ny THE
COLoRED 'CYCLIST TAYLOR.
nEtruEpT DpEwuU I'M UTCCun
MICHAEL BEATEN And KISSED.
He is ns Pale rs n sheet When He
Jumps on His Wheel, and Has No
Excuse to Make for His Defeat
TayIor's Work Wonderful.

NEW YORK, August 27.-Major Taylor,
the colored 'cyclist, met and defeated
Jimmy" Michaels, the little Welshman,
in n special match race, best out Of 3,
one-mile paced heats, from a standing
start, at the Manhattan Beach cycle
track this afternoon.
Michael won the first heat easily, as
Taylor's pacing quint broke down in the
final lap, but on the next two heats
Michael was so badly beaten and dis
tanced that he quit each time in the last
lap. Taylor's work was wonderful, both
from a racing and from a time stand
point, and he established a new worlds
record, which was absolutely phenomenal,
covering the third heat in 1:h %
Michael was Kissed by the spectators
as he passed the stand, dispiFlted and
detected by Taylor's overwhelming vic
tory.
Immediately after the third heat was
finished, and before the time was an
nounced. sWnliam A. Brady, who has
champloned the colored boy during the
entire season, issued a challenge 10 race
Taylor against MICHAEL FOR 5000 or $1,000
a side, az any distance up TO 100 miles.
This declaration was received with tu-
multuous shouts by the assemDiage, and
the dusky victor was ionized when the
time was made known.
FORMER RECORDS.
Edouard Taylore, the French rider held
the worlds record of aJ 3-5 for the dis
lance in a contest, paced, from a stand
ing start The worlds record against
time, from a standing start, made By
Plat Belts Of England, was AS 2-5
Michael beat Taylorcs record by 1 2-5
seconds in the first heat but Major Tay-
Tor wiped this out and tied Bettss record
against time In the second heat AS
Taylor was on the outside for nearly -
laus il was easily seen that he rode
more than mile in the time and shrewd
Judges who watched the race said he
would surely do better on the third at
tempt. That he fully justified this be-
lief goes without saying.
The Welsh rider was pale as a corpse
when he Jumped OF his wheel. and had
no excuse to make for his defeat. Tay-
lor's performance undoubtedly stamps
him as the premier cycle Splinter OF the
world. and, Judging from the staying
qualities he exhibited IN his six-day ride
I'm the Madison-Square Garden. the mid
die distance championship may be his
before the end Of the present season.
The weather conditions could not have
been more perfect. as there was only
light Wind and il did not retard the speed
OF the riders I'm the slightest degree. q.

Of warning to readers who intend TO apply

son or other may still DO hesitating.
This admonition IS given, so that none
may hereafter claim lack of notice on the
part Of tho Dispatch of the approaching
completion Of this grand enterprise.
which has been productive of so much
genuine pleasure to US, and 50 much
benefit 10 thousands OF our readers.
The opportunity presented has proved
20 be most acceptable, since there is
great need for a reference work built on
the plan Of the Century. Many CLUB
members who are following the progress
Of the war with interest tell us that they
have found the work almost indispensable
IN enabling them 10 readily understand
the significance Of the various move
ments. The maps are especially useful,
for they give great deal or desirable
information that is obtalnable from no
other reference Book. The variations OF
the depths Of the sea are clearly shown.
so that one can see into which estuaries
ard harbors our big battleships can
safely enter. Steamship routes, submarine
cables. railroads, canals, etc, are shown.

Gated by crossed swords.
