was no chance to save anything and the

an organ purchased few weeks since,
were burned.

The CurRew Bill.

The discussion over the ordinance pro
viding ''curfew bill'' in Vineland, on
Tuesday, got very heated. Rev. Eli Gift
ford took prominent part in it. One ad-
vocate of the ordinance cited an instance
of nine year-old boy who was on the
streets drunk. "Have the man who sold
him drink arrested, " said man present.
"Mr Clifford set that example last month.
Because the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have failed to get at the
speak-easy proprietors they now want to
shake up the little boys"
The ordinance was passed and the fire
commissioners were directed to ring fire
bell at nine o'clock every evening. This
they refuse to do, and council has no jul
risdiction over the bell. The President of
the Board of Education says the school
bell shall not be rung, and Mr.. Clifford de-
clares his church bell shall not be used
for the purpose while he is pastor. Sew
eral persons have suggested that COW
bells be put in the hands of the police.
The ordinance will be carried to the Su.
preme court on a certiorari to test its con
stitutionality.

acquired the tobacco habit and not wish
ing his parents to find it out yet awhile,
has hit upon novel plan to escape de-
lection, which is not very slow either
Frequently he is to be seen in an uptown
business place, and when smoking he in
variably occupies the same seat, but moth
ing unsual was noticed about this circum-
stance. One day last week he blossomed
out with a full-fedged cigar. He evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed the weed for his manner
indicated contcntment. Without making
any fuss he leisurely arose from his seat,
and without being observed, hid the cigar
behind box and then resumed his former
position. Presently his father walked
down the street and all eyes were turned
on the young man who smiled and queried
gleefully: did you notice where the
cigar disappeared to when father passed
by?" How could you tell he was near
without looking out" the boy was asked.
"Oh, could see him coming out of the
store by the reflection on the glass in that
door across the street., and then for the
first time the secret was out.
