in Cuba last July.
While leading charge up Ell Caney he
was severely wounded. Afterward he
was brought to Bellevue Hospital, New
York. Upon his recovery he applied for
active service in the Philippines and was
assigned to the Twenty-second Infantry.
At Malinta, when he fell, Col. Egbert
was leading a bayonet charge with the
same old indomitable spirit, and he must
have had the same old inspiring smile on
his face. Pathetic beyond conception
were his dying words to Gen. Wheaton:
"Goodby, General; am done. I'm too
DID," The fire of youth was his while he
had strength to keep the field, and he
would never have been too old to show
men how to die. An army with such
leaders is invlncible.

A BRAVE OFFICER GONE.

In the death of COL Harry c. Egbert
who fell at Malinta, Sunday, the country
lost one of the bravest and most unseltish
spirits of the army. In action Col.
Egbert thought only of his regiment, and
to show an example to the newest recruit
he courted danger with as bright an
aspect as man in mortal danger ever
wore. He served in the civil war first as
lieutenant, and his gallantry in lead
ing charge in which he was wounded
won him official notice and he was pro-
NOTED captain. Captain Egbert was the
only officer who had served through the
civil war remaining in the Twelfth In
fantry when promoted to major of the
Seventeenth Infantry in 1890.
Major Egbert took part in the Sioux
campaign in South Dakota during '91
and 90. He was appointed lieutenant
colonel and assigned to the Sixth Infan-

The Legislature adjourned on Friday

and loaded the State with burdens that

A "PEAcHY" OUTLOOK.

And now we learn that celebrated
entomologist has, after careful exami-
nation of number of peach trees in the
southern part of the State, given an
opinion that the crop has been ruined by
frost. This leads us to quote the follow
ing from the Atlanta Constitution
Talking about possible damage to the
fruit crop recalls little story.
A few years ago, during a severe
'spell" in April, a peach grower came to
town and said:
81 saw icicles on my peach trees this
morning. I'll sell out the chances of the
whole business for $25."
A citizen took him up on that PROPOSE
ton, planked down the money, and re-
ceived deed to that years crop.
1t was certainly bad business on the
peach growers part, but he was 'game"
and wouldn't back out.
That year the man to whom he sold
out realized 800 on his $25 investment.
But he and the peach grower were never
seen to shake hands afterward. They
didn't get along we'll together.

EASTER gladness in the air,
~ Easter flowers blooming fair,
Springing sap for tender shoot,
Bursting bud and forming fruit;
Creeping verdancy adown
Hillsides erst SO bare and brown;
Shining ripples for the brook,
Softest moss for shady nook.
Easter carols for the birds
Symphonies with sweeter words
Than are known of mortal men,
Set to notes beyond their ken.
Soft intoning for the bees,
Winging, humming, DER the leas;
Chipping, piping, shrilling notes
For the myriad insect threats.
Easter blessings for the heart.
Kindly deed and tender thought
Spring awake from slumber long,
Turning signing into song.

Sing and blossom for His sake.
Shed your sweetness far and wide,
Live anew tits Eastertide

and it never got very far. !,
The Democrats tried to reduce the
number of freeholders in first class
counties and an effort was made to
change the pay of these county legisla

telephone charges, but there were SO

THE ANTI. TRUST AGITATION.
The Democrats were very much in
earnest to make an anti trust record.
That has been Democratic play for
some years. They are anxious to drive
the miscellaneous corporations from the
State so as to get applause LOT crushing
trusts and indirectly to bring about a
direct State tax on the people which
must follow if the State ceases to inter-
est corporations. There is much con.
fusion in the ordinary mind about the
incorporation of big trusts. Sufficient
is it to say that New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Massachusetts, and
West Virginia have all copied the New
Jersey laws, so that they cannot be SC
terribly vicious if so MANY States are
anxious to do the same business as New
Jersey.
The Attorney. General was asked for
an opinion on trusts and he gave bill
preventing any combination of interests
on trade that would be disastrous to the
consumer Young Leon Albeit, who
led the anti-corporation forces in the
House, introduced bill which never
came out of the committee for the reason
that he tried to improve on Attorney
General Grey's bill and the members OF
the House did not like his presumption
The anti trust bill prepared by the At
torney General was in shape for intro
duction by the Republican leader, Mr..
Mckee, but after it was suggested that
the session should be brought to close
he refrained from introducing it,.

COMMENTING on the report that the
Hon. Carrot A. Hobart would not again
be candidate for the Vice-Presidency
on the Republican ticket, the Mail and
Cypress says 1.-The fact is pretty gen.
orally admitted that Mr.. Hobart's popu-
larity renders him an almost necessary
second on the Republican ticket with
Mckinley in 1900, if Mckinley is the
nominee; and, as it is eminently true that
the two men are of one mind and heart
in the administration of national affairs,
each having the others confidence and
consideration, the vast voting public are
likely to demand of the coming national
convention the candidates that led to
victory in 1896"

DovER.s STRANGE CONDUCT.

The situation in which the ''town" of
Dover finds itself is both amusing and
astonishing. In accordance with term
of law known by the dubious name of
''ouster," Mayor Pierson and his Alder
men were this week summarily removed
from Office, and the officials who held
Office prior to the last municipal election
were reinstated, without even 30 much as
struggle on their part. At the same time
the 'city" of Dover takes retrograde
movement and resumes business under
its charter of 1869 as the t'town' of Dover.
That staunch Prohibitionist, Hon. Ferdi-
nand V. Wolfe, whom the Democrats
strange to relate-voted for and elected
in 1896, is again mayor, and Surrogate
David Young finds his cares increased,
for he is now a Councilman of Dover.
Any one who SCOTS at the troubles of
Dover Councilman should compose him
self and attend one of their meetings.
Jersey law, like Jersey lightning, is
capable of strange things at times. And
the experience of the town of Dover is
shining instance thereof.

The table was beautifully decorated, the
center-piece being a lovely miniature
yacht, trimmed with Easter eggs color

with their various souvenirs and had
great fun guessing the menu cards,
which were in the form of REFUSES. A
number of older friends joined the
younger guests in the afternoon to see
the lantern exhibition. Altogether it
was very unique affair.
