Encourage the Reform School.

The managers OF the Jamesburg Re-
form School have asked for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 with which to build a
chapel on the grounds of that institution.
We think that this request should not
be classed as unnecessary and extrava-
CANT. The Jamesburg school is one of
the most meritorous institutions in the
State and it should be given liberal sup
port.
With the appropriation asked for, it
would be possible to erect a chapel that
would accommodate the pupils for many
years to come, and it would greatly en-
hance the value of and beautify the
grounds.
Religious services are now held in a
room that is crowded to its utmost ca
pacity and under these circumstances it
Is impossible for the teachers to make
the lessons as impressive as they might
be if the surroundings were more in har-
mony with religious thought and train
ing.
The work done at the Jamesburg
school is great and good one. 1t is far
reaching. Many inmates of that institu-
ton graduate to a high plane in society
and become useful and honorable citi-
zens.
1t is such work as this that the State
should encourage. There is nothing ex-
orbitaut or extravagant in the request
made by the managers of the Jamesburg
school, and it is to be hoped that the APP
nropriation Committee will see it in that
light.-State Gazette.

A Pleasant Reception.

On Monday evening last, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Mount gave a reception to
about twenty of their friends in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin H. Wharton, who
were returning from their wedding trip,
Mrs. Wharton being niece of theirs.
At O'Clock the guests were invited to
the dining room where sumptuous col.
lation was served, the table being beauti-
fully decorated with carnations and
smilax. DR.. H. d. Zandt acted as toast
master, to which he did ample justice.
The time was spent pleasantly until q
late hour, when the guests departed for
their homes, after exteding to the br ide
and groom their best wishes.

A Constable Yet.

Constable John E. Hampton has had
some trouble the past week as to whether
he could hold on to the office of Consta-
BILE. He was placed on the Borough
tickets this Spring and elected as Con-
stable, but as the Borough has no Con-
stables under the new Act it was thought
he could not take the office except as
Marshal appointed by the Mayor. The
latter would net appoint Mr.. Hampton
and things looked blue until it was re-
mem bered that Hampton had been
elected last year under the Act OF 1878,
allowed Constabes in Boroughs and for
terms of three years as in the Townships.
Mr.. Hampton consulted Lawyer Peter
Francis DAILY. who gave it as his opinion
that Hampton can serve out his term OF
three years under his election of 1897.
Consequently the Constable is happy
again and peace will soon fold her white
wings over his domicie.

Hello! Central 4!

The popular thing in town at present
is the telephone. All connections were
fully completed on Tuesday morning and
both the town pay stations were rung up
by "Central' aC New Brunswick. This
formally inaugurated the Jamesburg ex-
tension of the New York and New Jersey
Tele phone Co. The first pay customer
at Cruger's Hotel station was Host Cru
ger, who called up friends in Newark and
Jersey City and sent some orders for
goods. The goods came the same even
ing, which, Mr.. Cruger says, beats for
mer experiences. The downtown sta
tion is in G.. NJ. Davison's store. The
first pay call from there was transmitted
to Newark by Mrs. Wilson G.. Ely.

tire same afternoon and the furthest

There is a Hereafter.

Here is little pointer for those whose
conduct conveys the impression they
think there is no hereafter.
The late lamented Bill Nye once said:
DO not attempt to cheat an editor out
of his years subscription to his paper, or
any other sum. Cheat the minister,
cheat anybody and erybody, but If you
have any regard for the future conse-
quences, don't fool the editor. You will
be put up for office some time. or want
some public favor for yourself or friends,
and when your luck is thing OF be auty
a Joy forever, the editor will open upon
you and knock your castles into a cooked
hat at the first Ire. He'll subdue you,
and then you'll euss your stupidity for
driveling idiot, go hire some man to
knock you down and kick you for fall
ing.'
The country newspaper publisher tolls
every day to make his paper interesting,
mentally and mech hanically-that's labor;
once in while patron comes in and
pays a subscription-that's capital; oc--
casionally one moves off without paying
and has his postmaster send a card to say
the paper is refused-that's stealing

A JAMESBURG TROLLEY
A Contractor Came Here to See
the Site of Power
House.
HAD THE PLANS WITH HIM
But he Couldn't Find the Site or ANY.
one Who Knew Anything
About it.

Our town people are somewhat mysti-
fed over what seems the proposed Ioca.
ting of a trolley power house in the town.
Last Friday man came here from
Philadelphia and introducing himself as
a contractor asked to be shown the pro-
posed site Of the power house on which
he had been asked to estimate. He ex-
hibited his plans and they might have
been either the power house for a trolley
or an electric light plant. The man was
ignorant OF the real use to which the
house was to be put. He left town no
wiser than he came, though several were
sorry they could not show him the site.
Just at present the whole State is full of
rumors and contentious over trolley and
telephone lines and it is likely this town
is on the eve of trolley movement.
Since the trolley movement began to
be talked OF another interesting move
lras begun. Another telephone company
is seeking franchise from our Borough
Council. On Thursday Lawyer Peter
Vredenburgh, of Freehold with Mr..
--, Secretary of the Monmouth
County Telephone Company, came to
town and sought out Councilmen with a
view to learning whether they would
grant franchise to second telephone
company.
AT this rate we shall soon have tele-
phone aud trolley companies Ito burn."
If anybody else is desiring franchise,
and is willing to pay for it, let him speak
out. This is the moment of your life.
Our people are beginning to say that the
next company of any ki2d must pay
something for a franchise.

is responsible for good deal of the spirit
of hustle going and the program of Orator

others ; reading of poem by Bro. H. d.
Zandt, and reading from Quo Vadis by
Bro. t. G. Healy The latter reads well
aud the selection, the martyrdom OF

effective. Orator Buck was highly
praised for his successful work in pro-
