True
Economy.

The cheapest baking powder
made is Cleveland's; not be-
cause its first cost is less than
that of others, but because it is
stronger.
Instead of heaping teaspoon
fuls of other baking powders,
use only rounded spoonfuls of
Cleveland's and you will find
that can of Cleveland's will
lastalmost as long as two pounds
of low-priced powders.
Besides, Cleveland's is a pure
cream of tartar powder and you
run no risk of injuring the health
of your family.

hurried flight to the windows and to
the roof. Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews were

and bridegroom are of different faiths.
She is a Roman Catholic, he an Episco-
palian.
The only attendants were best man
and maid of honor. The ceremony was
witnessed by about $50 relatives and
intimate friends.
In magnificence the details of the
wedding equaled the Vanderbilt MARI
borough wedding. In simplicity it
might have been performed in a cottage.
In lavish display of wealth and extrav-
agance it easily rivaled the Gould-Cas-
tellane marriage. In quiet and serene
joy it might have been modest coun-
try home wedding. The couple imme-
diately went to Oakdale, on Long Is
land, where they will remain for awhile
at Idle Hours, the Vanderbilt country
seat. Then they will go to Newport fol
the season.

Cashier Byram of the Iron Bank. when
asked about the recent decision of the
New York Clearing House, to charge ex-
change on out of town checks, said he
thought the action ill advised: his bank
had not been in the habit of charging
exchange on customers checks. He
thought his bank would open accounts in
Philadelphia and Boston.
At the First National Bank a CHRON-
ICLE reporter was told that the order
had not affected depositers to any great
extent When it is necessary to charge
depositors the amount will be placed on
customers accounts in most instances.
The M orristown Trust Company sends
most of its checks to other points outside
New York and therefore the decision
does not effect depositors except in a
few instances.

Tramps OF Drunks =?

This is the question that the Auditor
and the committee appointed by the Board
of Freeholders is trying to solve. 1t will
be remembered that at the last meeting
of the Board the Auditor reported the
certain exhausting of some appropriations
before the close of the fiscal year Among
them was that of justices and Officers, ="
being the appropriation for committing
persons to the Jail
The committee met on Wednesday and
started an investigation. The first thing
done was to get a statement of the sums
charged for committing tramps and
drunken people during the month of De
cember in 1897 and 1898. The following
figures show the amounts for the month of
December from the first to the 10Th, with
the exception of Northampton, where one
of the justices withdrew from the files his
bill which would increase the figures ma
terially The amounts that are in pos

morning He was in boat along side
the company's wharf engaged in making
telephone communication between the
wharf and the works, when the boat slip

into the icy water, which is about eight
feet deep at that place. He got out with

afternoon. Little Sadie Fish, the 10-year-

of Camden, while here spending the holt
days with her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.

Delaware and Raritan Canal. Going some
distance from the rest of the skaters, the
little one broke through the thin ice and
sank beneath the water After coming to
the surface she screamed for help and
made a desperate attempt to climb out
The ice broke as she grasped it and be-
coming exhausted she was sinking for the
third time when she was rescued from a
watery grave by James Bumster, a young

and warning the crowd to keep back from
the struggling girl, plunged into the
water and grasped her by her coat amid
cheers and brought her to shore.

taxpayers meeting was held in the
town hall Friday night to take action on
the allegations that the new stone road
through Moorestown, on Main street, was
not constructed according to specifca-
tions. There has been so much complaint
that the road was plugged by a citizens
committee in the presence of the super
visor and engineer, and it was reported
that the thickness of the stone was found
to run from half to two inches short, in
eight cases, whereas only two cases show
ed the required depth. 1t was also claim
ed that the cutters have not been paved
in substantial manner The road cost
SO, 900, nearly all of which has been paid
The freeholders have not yet signed the
final acceptance. The meeting voted to
urge and insist on the engineer and SUI
pervisor to compel the work to be done
according to contract A committee of
five taxpayers was empowered to act in
conjunction with the freeholders' COM
mittee, to investigate the matter more
fully and take whatever action was deem
ed necessary to compel the contractors to
make good the deficiencies In the event
of their failing to do so, the final payment
will probably be withheld and the free
holders refuse to release the contractors
from the bond which they gave for the
just performance of this work

Capital, the scene of much vital import
ance; and these trips have reached their
most practical and attractive form in the

freedom from care, and the general com
fort and convenience afforded an extended
