FROM THE FIRST WARD.

Inc great engine mt the Lambert
vile Rubber Company's works came
to standstill Saturday evening at 8
O'Clock, and as Labor Day came on
Monday, the wheels did not revolve
again until Tuesday morning. The
company always being anxious to ac-
commodate their many employees,
made Saturday their regular pay day
for the month of August. This natur-
ally made the boys feel enthusiastic.
Mr.. Jacob Fisher, the gentlemanly
clerk at the Lambertville Rubber
Company works, started Saturday
afternoon to spend ten days vaca-
ton in a novel and original way.
Himself and family started with horse
and wagon through the country by
way of Pennington, where the first
stop was made for the night. Then
they proceeded to High Bridge, Glen
Gardner, Washington and other towns
and cities i'll the adjoining counties.
They expect to return home about
Monday, the 18th. After being housed
up all Summer with strict attention to
his duties, no doubt Mr.. Fisher, and
also his wife and children, will enjoy
the novelty and pleasure of this trip.
Abraham Trauger and James
Moonan have been appointed upon the
Board of Election in the First ward.
and will attend to the Republican end
OF the board on Tuesday, Nov. eth.
Our friend, Sam" Case, still pins
his faith to William jennings Bryan
as successful candidate in 1900, al
though he acknowledges the Democ-
racy made mistake in taking up
Cleveland i'll 90, and we should have
elected Harrison again. OF course
Grover was idolized at that time by
the Democratic party from Maine to
San Francisco, but he soon met his
Waterloo after his second election.
1t is only n question if Mr.. Bryan or
any other Democrat elected would not
meet the same fate. Prosperity is one
of the things that never existed in the
Democratic ranks. 1t makes no diff
ference how good the times are under
a Republican administration, they
want change. Every time Presi-
dential election comes around we hear
that familiar cry from the Democratic
orator that the tariff il u tax. This
reminds us of debate in the Lime
kiln Club, when Brother Gardner
caught Sund5wn White filling his bag
with his cueumbers. He said "He
actually made me believe he was two
miles away in white mans later
patch.
The heavy rains recently caused the
river to rise very rapidly and also
caused some delay with the mon who
were putting in the suction pipes in
the river at the Lambertville Rubber
Company's works.
Superintendent Rittenhouae spent
Il few days this week ut Ocean Grove
with his family.
South Main street wants n little
trimming up again, as the weeds along
the street are maturing pretty fast and
should be harvested before going to
seed.
New Jersey is famous for its water
ing places Most of the trusts are
formed in this State.
The business man ager of the Demo
crdtic Wage Worker might have been
seen recently near the corner of Main
and Ferry streets at rather late hour
learning to ride wheel. All news.
paper men, such as scribes, cores.
pondents and so forth don't ride
wheels, but then perhaps il is no fault
OF their own that they do not, as
wheels come rather high and those
manager can hardly afford to indulge
in such n luxury. We might suggest
to "Jackey' that he could run one of
those automobiles to better advan-
tage, as the grade leading from the
city proper to his suburban residence
is too steep for nm amateur to tackle
80 late in the season.
A lively debate at the Cnrbstone
Club meeting took place recently,
after which your correspondent edged
around i'll cute way and worked up
an interview with Mr.. Lucas, for it
does me great deal OF good to bail
ont man who is carrying burden
on his mind, knowing how relieved
the bailed-out man feels after sharing
his burden with sympathetic neigh
Dor who is willing to carry part of his
load without charging any drayage
for the job. 'The very idea," said
Mr.. L., attempting to argue politics
with me, "why, mainland ! don't
want to brag or boast-there was n
time when / could quote a whole lot of
Latin and Greek and French words
Just as easily as falling off seven
story building, got them out OF our
big family dictionary, knew their
meaning and origin and all about
them, and could quote Scripture from
Genesis to Beer Sheba. Could tell all
about the children of Israel going up
to the promised Philippine Islands,
and about Sampson staying all them
asses with the jaw-bone of n Senator
and Daniel i'll the den of lawyers, and
about Elijah being fed on boiled
ravens, and the fall of Mark Hanna
when the children of Israel cried fol
bread in the wilderness, and Tia,
plague Of the potato bug and Lizards
in the land of Egypt and the brazer
serpent and Balaam's talking ass.
