Trusts will receive the chief at
tention of the New Jersey legis-
ature. The bill TO prohibit and
punish monopolies is probably the
most reasonable measure ever aimed
at trusts. which it clearly defines. The
punishments prescribed are fines Of
from $50 to 5000 and imprisonment Of
from six months to year. or both,
Each days connection, however re-
mote, with the prescribed monopolies
is to be considered separate offense
and separately punished. The passage
of a reasonable anti-monopoly bill
would be more surprising in New Jer-
sey that anywhere else, for that state
has for a number Of years been the
breeding ground of trusts.

The State Fair will be bigger and
broader than ever as an educational
Institution this year. The amusement
features are more prominent because
the cities will have none. The fair
will be the only great thing on deck
early in September. The fireworks at
the evening exhibitions from Monday
night to Saturday night will cost dou-
BILE the sum expended by either city
on any festive occasion. One big
bomb, 60 inches in diameter, the lare-
est ever fired in America, will be sent
up every night during the fair. It
will explode at a height OF 1000 feet
and send down shower of stars that
will cover a space as large as four
city blocks. Mr.. Porter also has q
new piece of fireworks that will make a
sensation when fred at the fair. It is
bomb that explodes and drops a
shower OF white stars and at the same
time releases another bomb which in
turn explodes with a shower of green
stars and releases another with red
stars, and repeats until the air is full
OF brilliant stars. This bomb can be
seen from Saltwater, Mortified, An

So, when half the distance had been

shouldering my bag. prepared to walk
the few miles that lay between rae and
the sea.
The night was dark, for n thick haze
filed the sky, ana 1t threatened 70
rain. | reached the little town about l
in the morning. Not a light was to be
seen. not a sound was to be heard bur
the signing of the night breeze and the
faint echo Of the rise and fall OF the
waves on the beach.
/ round the way to the pier without
difficulty-it was fortunate that | had
marked 1t well the day beforehand
sitting down under the lee Of some
timber which was lying there, | lit my
pipe and waited.
The dronlng sound Of the church clock
striking 2 sounded In the stiffness, and.
looking eastward. ] noticed that dawn
vas already in the sky. | could even
discern a dim sheen upon the moving
waters.
Rising. / walked down to the edge
OF the pier, and scarcely had I done so,
when the sound Of oars fell upon my
