1t is only the tactful people who
should be allowed to give personal
"reminiscences, but unfortunately they
are not the only ones who do give
them.

an elderly woman to a Massachusetts
clergyman. He used to come often
to our house to dinner. We were al.

''That is very pleasant to hear" said
the clergyman, with a smile; but the
narrator remained gravely uncon
scious of his interruption.

he had" she continued, blandly. "Ii

The eminent son endeavored to pre-
serve a proper expression of coun

cence, but his composure was sorely
tried when, with great cordiality, the
lady said:

Thrashing a King.

During the Ashanti campaign there
was grotesque exhibition of a native
policeman's Indifference to the "divini-
ty that doth hedge a king" General
Colley, then the major commanding
the transport column, writing to his
sister, describes how one monarch had
his foolishness driven out Of him by
''the rod of correction" He says:
am afraid ones idea of the majesty
that doth enshroud king" is not ex-
allied in this country. At one station
on my way down heard arrow in camp
during the night and the next morning
sent to inquire what it was. A native
police corporal of mine, a first rate fel.
low, came up and saluted.

Union National Bank at Mount Holly, held at the
banking house Thursday morning, July a. A

unanimously adopted:
Isaac Fenimore, one of the original incorpor.
ators this bank and its fourth president having
1899, we his associates, desire to place on record
the expression of our esteem. Mr.. Fenimore was
man of good business judgment, of strict integ-
rity of character, clear in his perceptions and
worthy of confidence and respect. He was always
warm friend of this bank and faithful in the dis
charge of every duty, and his loss will be deeply
felt.
And further we desire to express to the members
of his family earnest sympathy in the bereave-
ment they have sustained, and direct the cashier
the same in the minutes of the Board and request
that the same be also published IN the papers Of
the town.

MORE interest is being taken in the
cause of education than has been notice
able for long time. The action of some
boards of education is responsible for the
present condition of affairs and it is hoped
that the agitation may result in good
Tie removal of teachers without cause,
without the privileges of hearing on
charges whose only foundation appears to
be rumor or personal malice, and the re-
tention of teachers who are incompetent
the latter being great rarity, however
are the reasons for uprising by the people
and the holding of meetings for the VEN

There appears to be good reason for criti-

gle idea of how to retain political control
and use their official positions for the fur
therance of that object. There are people
who have deprecated the mixing of relig.
ion and politics; if that is not good how
much more pernicious must be the Undue
ton of political methods into the system
of education-a cause almost as sacred as
that of religion. 1t is healthy sign to
see the people awakening to sense Of

the good work that has been started will

Many measures beneficial to education
have been throttled, not because they

TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1899.

EVERY indication points to the discon-
tinuance of stone road between Mount
Holly and Burlington, and all on account
of the refusal of Burlington township to
make small expenditure for grading, a
mere drop in the bucket in comparison
with the great improvement to be derived
When the work was begun the residents
of Burlington along the line of the road
would not listen to any proposition to be-
gin the work except at their end, and now
they are willing to allow the entire con-
tract to fall rather than vote few dollars
to aid it. 1t is to be hoped the taxpayers
of Westampton will see matters in more
liberal manner when they meet in special
meeting in few days. Then the road
can be completed to the end of the West
anpton portion and Burlington townships
residents can revel in their mud.
DURING the ensuing fall there will be
the usual teachers institutes in the coun-
ties of this state and there will probably
be the same old style of programme. with
addresses by speakers good and speakers
poor-the latter being in the majority,
taking the institutes in this county as a
sample. There is one subject that could
be spoken on to great advantage, the
teachers retirement fund. There are
many instructors in our public schools
who have a very limited idea of the nature
and advantages of this fund. A short
period at each institute for instruction on
this point would be very benefcial-de-
cidedly more SO than the talk of some
fellow who wrote book and talked on it
for an hour and was foored by country
teacher on some of the very points con-
tanned in his work. That happened in
this county last fall. Teachers institutes
are for the benefit of teachers; let them
have practical instruction that may be of
great advantage to them in later life

A Philadelphia real estate man, when
going through vacant house one even
ing to see that all was well, heard a
slight noise behind him. Turning
slightly, he saw the form of a man.
As the broker was not armed, he did
not like the idea of meeting burglar
in combat, and, besides, he is very
timid, SO he rushed to the door and
fumbled with the lock, all the time
yelling at the top of his lungs. When
he had got the door opened, he looked
back, and then saw that the burglar"
was really his own reflection in the
large drawing room mirror. He had no
sooner made this discovery than he was
seized by two policemen, who were at
tracted by his screams, and 1t took
nearly half hour for him to explain
that he was not housebreaker himself.

NcT satisfied with trying to do imper-
feet work one of the stone road contract
ors is reported to have gone to Trenton in
an endeavor to secure not only the remov-
al of John B. Davis as supervisor of the
road between Mount Holly and Burling-
ton, but also tried to GUST State Commits
sioner Budd. But, if he has not already
discovered the fact, he will soon find out
that Gov Voorhees, has not yet reached
that stage where he will remove compe-
tent officers at the bidding of some con-
tractor who seems to be unwilling to live
up to the terms of his contract. The pre-
sumption exhibited is immense. Do the
men who have been building stone roads
in this state, receiving prices that many
people consider far beyond the value OF
the goods delivered, have the idea that
they own the roads? They had better
come down off their high perch. The tax
payers have some say in the matter and
have not yet relinquished their interest in
the treasury for the benefit of contractors
Instead of fighting the efforts to secure an
honest fulf1lment of contract, it would
be better to employ the same amount of
energy in completing the work according
to the ideas of the supervisor. 1t must be
borne in mind that it is not altogether Mr..
Davis who has interposed objections; he
has the backing of Mr. Budd and also of
the engineer on the road, Henry S. Haines
1t is not likely all of these gentlemen are
mistaken.
