Fire Bugs at Work.

Three Bridges was again visited by in
cendiaries Monday night, who fired
Charles Woods large hay press. The fire
was started on the inside of the building.
which was totally destroyed, with its
contents. 1t was located in thickly
populated section of the town. G. e..
Higgins & Bros. large feed store caught
fire, and by the heroic efforts of the
citizens, who formed bucket brigades,
they succeeded in putting out the fire be-
fore great damage was done. Joseph Dilts'
general store also narrowly escaped de-
struction. Word was rent to Pennington
for assistance, but the firemen being un.
able to get cars upon which to convey the
engines, could not respond. The hook
and ladder company, however, answered
the summons.
The citizens of Three Bridges are afraid
to retire, owing to the operations of the
fire bugs, fearing that their homes will be
set on fire. Searching parties are scour-
ing the village in search of the fire bugs,
and If captured the residents declare that
no mercy will be shown. To-night's
blaze will probably exceed $5 900. Fearing
that other fires will be started during the
night, watchmen have been placed on
duty. Before firing Kline's mill Monday
night the incendiaries disabled the pumps
near the place so that water could not be
had to quench the flames. Woods loss
will exceed So 900. with ST 900 insurance.
The loss to other buildings will amount
to $4,000.

Taking OF the Census.

All the people in this glo rious country
are to have their noses counted next June.
The twelfth census is to be taken, begin
ming with the first day of that month,
and tremendous amount of work in
anticipation of this gigantic enumeration
has been done already and is to be done in
the next six months.
When the data reaches Washington il
goes into the hands of clerks operating
punching machines. Each individuals
record will be put on card by means of
punches, each punch by its size, position
on the card, etc. signifying some special
thing. These punched cards are then fed
into counting machine, which has a
system of needles and only cards punched
in certain way pass on to certain needles,
and as fast as the cards rest on their re-
spective needles dial registers the fact.
1t is estimated that one clerk can, by
means of the punching machine, handle
100 names day. There are to be a thou.
sand punching machines in the Census
Office at Washington. Two and one-haIf
million names will be counted a day.
About thousand tons of paper will be
used, and if all the printed matter were
sent out by regular letter postage it would
cost Uncle Sam Sl50.0OO.
Each enumerator receives two cents for
every name he takes. During the last
census the average pay of euumerators
was $50, or about $50 week. 1t is ex-
pected that this census the enumerators
will make more.
In arranging for the last census the
Director of Census had three hundred
supervisors submit to him their ideas as to
how the thing should be done in their re-
spective districts. The Director then
revised the plans submitted. This time
the system is to be reversed. The Director
will send to each supervisor his concep-
tion and the supervisor will recommend
any change or notifications that he may
see fit. In appointing enumerators pre-
ference is to be shown to veterans of Civil
Spanish and Philippine wars.

One booth will be in charge of little girls
and one in charge of little boys and these
are expected to reflect credit upon their
parents in the way of cleverness. A big
program is being prepared by the JAMES
BURG RECORD Printing Office and any
merchants who desire to advertise their
Christmas good will find it convenient
medium. Advertisements inserted for
so cents an inch. Persons desiring in

Hobart Left $1,000, 900.

The estate left by the late Vice Presi
dent Garret A. Hobart is estimated at
$5.OOO,OOO. Although the will has not
yet been produced, it is assumed that he
left the bulk of his estate to his only
child, Garret A. Hobart, Jr., with the
widow as executrix. Edward T. Bell,
President of the First National Bank, of
Paterson, and Col. William Barbour are
probably the executors.
1t is believed that Mr.. Hobart left a
large amount to charity. When Mr..
Hobart was elected Vice President his
estate was worth about $3,0O0,0O0. Since
then the value of the securities and other
property has greatly increased. He car
ried an insurance policy of $3.50 900.

PRINCETON STUDENTS
Celebrate Their Great Victory
Over Yale Last Saturday.

Princeton University campus was
turned into hotbed of enthusiasm on
Monday night by the celebration of the
Tigers victory over Yale. A monster
bonfire was kindred in the quadrangle on
the campus, around which the UNDER
graduates danced and sang their college
songs until after the bell on Old Nassau
had pealed the midnight hour. A process
sion was was formed and moved down
Nassau street, to the strains of ssHeYe
Comes the Ellis" to where the champion
team and coaehers were waiting for them
in the bushes.
The horses were unhitched and the
students took their places at the traces.
Transparencies were carried in the pro.
cession which read Harvard tied them.
but we beat them; "Our ticket for 1900.
Edwards and Poe. Platform, three
straight" and similar inscriptions.
After the procession marched down
Nassau street the students retired en-
masse to the bonfire, where several of the
players were called upon for speeches.
Poe was lifted upon the steps of Clio
Hall, where, after the cheering of the
crowd ceased. he said that Captain Ed
wards was entitled to all the credit for
the victory because of his wonderful
spirit in encouraging his men. Despite
the remonstrances of the students, Poe
would say no more. Hillebrand was given
hearty welcome, and spoke briefly to
his fellow students.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be small on
a single sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
IF both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended up
on. They may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth with
exaggerated claims, but are certain to re-
turn to the one remedy that they know
to be reliable, and for coughs, colds anG
Group there is nothing equal to Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. For sale by H
l.. Jacques, Druggist.

PHILADELPHIA'S BIG FIRE.
A Large Number of Business
Houses Destroyed.

An electric spark in the basement of
Partridge & Richardson's big department
stores, Philadelphia, started fire on
wednesday morning that in less than
four hours laid in ashes nearly an entire
block of business houses. and caused an
estimated loss of over 5000 900.
The heaviest losers are j. B. Lippin-
colt d Co., book publishers, whose big
six story brick building, containing rare
and valuable plates and machinery, was
completely gutted, causing a loss of
about $4,000, 900.
The next heaviest loser was Partridge
d Richardson. Their loss on building
and contents is estimated at 100000.
Lit Brothers, whose department store
adjoins the Lippincott building, estima-
ted their loss at 100000.
In addition to the big houses mentioned
numerous smaller stores were either
Quilted OF badly damaged.
Strawbridge & Clothier's dry goods
and millinery store was slightly dam
aged. The flames were quickly subdued,
and their loss, which is,notheavy, was oc-
casioned more by smoke and water than
by fire.
The number of men, women and chill
dren thrown out of employment is esti-
mated at upward of 1000.

pR1NTER FARM A SUCCESS
Typographical Union Men at
Bound Brook Have Fine Crops.

From now until next Spring the prin.
tors on the farm at Bound Brook, be :
longing to Typographical Union, No. 6,
ofNew York, will have little to do ex-
cept TO smoke their pipes and rest. All
of the corn has been husked. the pump
kins gathered, and the potatoes piled in
heaps in the cellars ready for use.
Cabbages, beans and tomatoes have
heen raised in great quantities by the
nrinters. Many of them will be sold in
New York, but the larger portion will be
saved for home consumption. This
experience of the printers shows what
they can do besides setting type.
Last April tract of land, containing
ie6 acres, was leased by the land commit
tee of Typographical Union, No. 6, to
give home to those members of the
organization, who either were unem-
ployed or too old to work at their trade.
Mr.. Sullivan, chairman of the land
committee, went to live on the farm to
give it his personal supervision. Soon
fifty workers were on the farm, each
with his little plot of ground, newly
planted, and the chance to make out Of
it what ne could.
In less than two months it was graft
flying to see the improvement of the farm
hands since they had left New York.
Men who used to hang around out OF
work. sick and almost hopeless, were
living comfortably in good health, with
regular occupations, and assured of the
full fruits of their labor.
During the SumLer Professor E. B.
Voorhees,, of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, visited the farm. He said
he had not seen anything to surpass the
work of the printers anywhere in the
State. This statement pleased the men.
Few on the farm had ever handled hoe
before. This was explained to Professor
Voorhees,, and he was surprised still
more. He explained that the printers
excelled because thew brought into the
undertaking great intelligence, combined
with energy, industry and perseverance.
Notwithstanding the severe droughts
of the early Summer, the present crops
are more than double those Of any other
farm in the vicinity.
The prize patch of corn and potatoes
was that farmed by Joe Conners, and
labeled "Slug T." Next year prizes will
be given for the best piece of farm work.

Fined for Cunning on Sunday.

Stephen Lukacs, a Metuchen Hun
garian, about 35 years of age, took ad-
vantage OF Sundays leisure to take trip
into the woods on cunning expedition.
He probably didn't know that the law of
1895 made it misdemeanor to carry a
gun on the Sabbath. Charles Ayres,
Metuchen's Fish and Game Warden !,
knew it and was out looking for viola
tions of the law. He saw Lukacs and
two others. The others got away, but
Lukacs was captured by the Warden.
Mr.. Ayres took the prisoner before JUS
tice Moss, of Metuchen, who fined him
$40 and costs. total amounting to $23. .9S
The man was unable to pay the fine and
was sent to jail.
