make plans for the annual reunion of the
2Sth N. j. Volunteer Infantry, which is
to be held here Friday, October 9Th.
While all the details are not vet settled
it is known that the exercises will be
held in Fidelity Lyceum, Jamesburg,
beginning at 10 a. m.
These morning exercises will be open
to and will be interesting to the general
public. There will be- an address of well
come by one of our citizeus an address to
the Veterans of the 2Sth, patriotic songs,
prayers, etc. Dinner will be served to
the Regiment at Cruger's Hotel. The
afternoon exercises will be only of regi-
mental interest, and consist of reports

Public School.

The Public School will open Monday,
Sept. 11th.
The teaching force this year will be
Principal, H. D. White; Room ), Miss
Covert, of Trenton; Room 4, Miss Belle
Andrews; Room 8, Miss Ada Soden;
Room l, Miss Paxton.
Room will be closed, as there is one
teacher less this year. The people are to
blame for this, because they do not sen d
their children to school. There are
enough children in town of school age to
more than fill six rooms. Six rooms
with forty pupils to each room would
make total Of 24O, and there are over
280 of school age, while rooms of 40 pu-
pills each means only 200 in school when
crowded
The fact that Miss Katharine Buckelew
has discontinued her private school
makes probable that quite number of
Der pupils will attend the public school,
thuyadding nearly half roomfull.
\ But if there are not enough teachers
the fault will be with the people. You
cannot give people any more education
than they will take. Someone has said
"men don't think with their stomachs, -
but, while that is physically true, it's a
pity. If they could have stomach -ache
for education as bad as that for meat and
potatoes there might be hope for the bette r
education of the masses

Lawsuit Over Hay Weights.

Farmer Alfred Dawson and w. N.
Stewart, the hay press dealer, at English
town, had lawsuit at the above place on
Tuesday, before jury of twelve men.
1t was held at Fleming's Hotel and drew
a large crowd. Squire w. l.. Conover
was the presiding judge and ruled like a
second Daniel. Lawysr John T. Rosell
represented Mr.. Dawson and Lawyer
Rulief V. Lawrence appeared for Mr..
Stewart, both lawyers being from Free
hold. Mr.. Dawson sued Stewart for
money due for cars of hay. 1t appeared
that Mr.. Stewart sent check for the bill
but deducted about So, claiming the bales
were short in weight. Mr.. Dawson is a
wealthy farmer, but he is honest and
spunky and he would not rest under the
charge of giving short weight, so he re-
turned the check and after some disput-
ing sued for the whole bill. The jury
gave Mr.. Dawson verdict for the whole
bill with interest. The plaintiff said he
did not care for the money kept back by
Mr.. Stewart, but for the principle in
volved. He would not give short weight.
and the hay was baled by professional
pressers who were honest men and for
their sakes as much as for his own he
brought the suit The verdict seemed to
please the farmers present.

''The triumphs of our fleets in the

Lyons, q retired naval officer, ''have
done great deal to elevate the per:

began we had only 1000 men in the
navy. Now it numbers almost 27,.
900, but we will never reduce the

what Doctors Think Of Wearing Rub.

DoFbs
Here's the first law Of health-Keep
your feet dry. We all know it. We
all know that pneumonia and COD
sumption always start with q cold,
and that the shortest cut to cold is a
pair of wet feet. But it's so impor-
tant a matter that we can't be remind
ed too often, especially when the re-
minder carries the weight of authority.
DR.. Wendell G. Phillips, one Of the
most distinguished physicians in New
York, was recently giving lecture'on
,"Colds, and How to Prevent Them" !"
It was a rainy night, and he began:
Glow many persons here wore rub.
bers tonight? Hands up.
"Nct half of you. Now, that is
what T thought. Every one of you
should have rubbe-s on night like
this. To go without them is to invite
colds, bronchial trouble, catarrh and
pneumonia. It is astonishing how
people neglect their feet. Rubbers
are fifty cents. You can save a lot OF
money on the investment-perhaps a
ten-days' doctor bill, to say nothing OF
medicine"
The doctor might have made it. still
stronger and said that, q fifty-centpair
of rubbers you'd not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills, but often life
itself. Don't try to save on rubbers;
it's the most. expensive economy in
the world, especially just now when
everybody is getting the grip.

while it lasts, for there is no telling
where the career of the overskirt may
lead us. It is liable to branch out in
to drsperies that will disguise every
pretty line in the figure and accent
uate every defect; but whatever folly
it may develop later on, it is here now
in its most acceptable form.
There is no getting around the fact
that the eel-like skirt which hugs the
figure so closely to the knees, then
suddenly flares with amazing fulness,
is the popular skirt of the moment.
There is absolutely no fulness any
where at the top and one wonders
how it was ever drawn on in its glove
fitting snugness, and were it not for
the long opening in the back, which
is laced up with cord and two rows OF
buttons, or else trimmed with seven
small bows, the donning of this truly
stylish skirt would be an art to be
closely studied. The tall, slender
woman with, good figure revels in
this novel skirt, and to accentuate the
severity Of its style, wears it in black
satin, made quite long all around the
front and sides, and demi-train at

Of getting the minerals. They admit
foreigners are the best at that kind OF
thing, because they have the power OF

they took the Japanese awalk that

SIS there any silver about here?"
they asked.
"No," said the Japanese, "this is
not the kind of soil in which silver is
found" ~

Mo America, merchant Marine

The outlook for domestic shipbuild.
ing is considered unusually favorable.
and the output Of the yards for 1899 is
expected to exceed 400; 900 tons. The.
greatest annual output since the Civil
War was during 1874, when 2147 ves-
sells Of 432, 725 tons were built. OF
late years the largest addition to the
merchant feet was in 1891, when 1411
vessels of 392, ,65s tons were con-
structed. The high tide Of shipbuild-
ing in this country, however, was in
1855, when 2027 vessels of 583, 450
tons were built.
During the last year the additions to
our merchaet marine from all sources
amounted to about 100000 tons, Of
which 10000 tons were foreign vessels
purchased by the Government for use
during the war and given American
registers. The vessels condemned as
prizes amounted to nearly 20, 600 tons.
which, however, will be included in
the reports of the next year. TIE
merchant feet under the Hawaiian
flag consists of si1ty-two vessels, ag-
gregating 81, ,543 tons. The Philip
pine feet consists of ninety-three ves-
sells of 1896 tons. but Porto Rico is
practically without shipping. 81
The total number of all kinds Of
merchant ships under the Unitsd
States, flag on the 30th Of June, was
22,7O9. This was 8 slight increase
from the %, 633 reported fol, the pre-
vious year, and a falling off from the
22,90s reported, for 1896. The tom
mage of all these vessels amounted in
1896 to 4,703, $50 tons; in 1897, A.
76s, ,O20 tons, and in 1898 to 4, ,74s,7SS

Traffic in Transfer Slips,

Newsboys in some sections of the
city carry on a curious traffic in street.
car transfers. At Forty-third street
and Cottage Grove. avenue, and Forty
seventh street and Cottage Grove
avenue they have built up quite o
clientele among the school-children,
who depend upon them every morn
ing for three-cenS ride to school.
Some of the passengers who come
from town regularly morning and
evening make a practice of asking
conductors for transfers, which they
have no reason to use. AS soon az
they get off the car they hand these
slips to the newsboy at the corner, in
exchange for newspapers, and the
newsboy sells them at three centa
each to passengers starting east OF
west on the cross line. It is, OF
course, a clear transaction of profit to
the newsboys and the passengers, and
a loss to the street-car company

Novel Effects For the Sleeves.

Very novel and pretty effects are
employed in decorating the tops of
new winter sleeves that are as close
fitting as they can comfortably be
worn. Crescent-shaped puffs Of fur
or velvet, vandykes covered with spe-
cial pieces in passementerie, short
flemish clps edged with chenille gal
loon, stitched straps, Queen Bess
puffs slashed and laced across, all are
used-and much originality is shown
in the arrangement of various shoul-
der decorations.

A Skirt With Peplum.

a Sk1xC WIFI optuIus
Mastic colored broadcloth, and rich
golden brown velvet, combined in the
May Manton style shown in the large
engraving, made one of the smartest
skirts shown this season, the trim
ming being open passementerie over
creamy satin.
The skirt is complete without the
peplum, which may be added or not as
preferred.
In place of the velvet at the foot,
shirred ribbon, velvet, passementerie
or braid, may be applied on the scol-
loped outline.
The skirt consists of narrow front
gore and two circular portions that fit
closely at the top and ripple stylishly
at the sides and back to the foot. Two
short darts are taken in at the waist
line and deep underlying plaits are
formed to meet over the placket, which
is finished at the top of centre back
seam.
The smooth peplum fits without a
wrinkle, the short darts being taken up
separately from the skirt. 1t meets
closely over the fulness in centre back
where it is closed with a double row
of crystal buttons held together by a
LAGER. and it can be made adjustable
and worn or not at pleasure.
Very handsome combinations may
he developed by the mode in silk,
wooden, velvet or mixed fabrics, the
mode suggesting possibilities for re-
modelling last seasons skirts without a
doubt of success. To make this skirt
in the medium size will require five
yards of forty-four inch material.

chifon-trimmed waist to this skirt is
made in quite frou frou effect and makes
