A FINE HALL.
Miliyille Has a Splendid Basket
Ball Home.

MillVille Reporter, Nov. 10.-Man-
ager McMurray, of the Millville Bas-
ket Ball team, announces the COM
pletion of his Basket Ball Hall, on
Vine street. A reporter visited the
hall yesterday and Notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, found it to
be a comfortable, roomy building
and especially fitted for basket ball
playing. The building is of brick
and one story high, the front wall
Is OF light compressed brick and pre-
sents a nice looking exterior. The
centre is taken for the playing space
and at the ends are seats ranging
sixteen high in pyramid from
which seating capacity of from 800
TO 1000. Two entrances are provided,
thus doing away with any necessity of
walking across the playing floor.
The seats are built of good planed
lumber, and are excellent. Under
meath the north seats a small stage
has been built so that the seats can
pe taken down and performance
be given on the stage. But one
thing was found wanting by the Re-
porter, and that is one which 1T hopes
will soon be placed there, a
table for pressmen and time keepers.
1t is almost impossible to write a
game up, squeezed in between two
people, yet that is what must be
done.
The hall as it now stands is the
only hall ever built especially for bas-
ket ball and is the best fitted up hall
in the country.
The first game takes place Nov. II,
when the strong Pennsylvania Bicycle
Club plays Millville.

ALL THE PEOPLE.
IN NEW JERSEY.
Census Figures Are Now Made
Public.

The Census Bureau at Washington
yesterday gave out the population
figures for New Jersey, showing a
total of ,883, $50. The census of 1890
showed ], IA, 933, so that there has
been gain in the ten years of 49,
1876, or 1913 per cent. The population
in 1880 was 27.7 per cent, so that the
States advance in the past 10 years
has been considerably greater than in
the previous decade. The population
by counties in comparison with the
figures of 1890 is given below. Essex
has failed to crowd Hudson out of
first place: PaSSaic retains third and
Camden fourth place; while Union
has crowded Mercur out of Fifth
place. Last place is still held by
little Cape May.
Cumberland county now passes to
the counties of the second class hav-
ing over the $4,000 mark. Bridgeton
gains considerably over the other
towns in South Jersey and is crowd
ing the 1900 mark. This town as
shown by the figures has gained over
1000 in ten years, while Millville and
Salem have practically stood still their
gain each being less than five
hundred.

GAME is ILLEGALLY TAKEN.
Box Traps and SnOOds are Openly
Used.

The Pioneer will keep up the
fight against the illegal killing of
game in Cumberland county, until
the State Fish aand Game Commits
sion recognizes the right of Cumber-
land county to protection. The
New Jersey Legislature will meet in
January, and if the Fish and Game
Commission do not see fit to open
its eyes to the illegal acts of those
destroying game, then it's the duty
of the Legislature to enact such leg
islation as will act for the benefit of
/, the people. Cumberland county's
representative in the Legislature
should be the first to act, to lead
the way in this matter.
The game here needs protection.
The honest sportsman demands it.
If it cannot be given by the Game
Commission as it is at present con-
tituted, then out with the Commits
sion. That can be accomplished by
the Legislature. Cumberland can
lead the way. Within the limits of
the city of Bridgeton, are box traps
for rabbits. Right here where
Bridgeton people stumble over them.
If the Commission doesn't believe it,
let a representative come down and
ook over the ground. Reports of
the most diScouraging character come
from the spOrtSmen. All through
the lower part of the county they
find traps and snoods. Devices not
only to catch rabbits but to enSnare
quail. These men who bring in the
complaint are willing to back it up
with the evidence. Why won't the
Commission listen to such COM
plaints?, Why don't they make an
effort to protect the game? Why
does the Chief Warden take his SUBJ
Urdin2tes from other counties to
watch the preserves of the rich
sportsmen and entirely ignore Cum
berland county, or the greater part
of it? These violations did not long
continue when Messrs. Pierson and
Dare were Wardens. They wouldn' f
now if Warden Phifer had the assis-
tance rightfully belonging to him.
It's time to make move. It seems
as if it will be necessary to go the
Legislature for the remedy.

Staggering Figures.

Transportation of the mails, the
cost of which absorbs more than one
half Of the revenues of the post-office
department. becomes with each sue
ceeding year costlier and more i'm
portant factor in this branch of the
federal activity. Some of the figures
presented by Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenberger in his annual
report are calculated to Stagger the
average comprehension. There are
more than $4,000 miles of postal
routes, and to deliver mail for one
year over these routes 460, 900, 900
miles of travel is necessary. This
service cost last year S57, 100, 500, of
which amount about $32, ,OOO,O 900 was
paid to railroad companies.

BUSINESS POINTS.
Something for the Successful
Business Man.

No business is so good but what
good advertising could better it.
Unless the advertiser has faith in
his business he cannot hope to win
public confidence.
One can tell the truth much easier
by using the simplest language.
Saying too little in an ad. is worse
than saying too much.
An inch space to-day may bring
more business than viii full page
tomorrow.
Advertising that interests the pub
lie is an investment paying interest.
The advertiser who promises more
than he gives, fails.
The good advertiser never rests sat-
istied with his ads. Always aims to
improve them.
Begin small, increase your advertis-
ing appropriation only when business
increases.

Waived a Hearing.

Saturday morning Mrs. Alonzo Biz
zard was again before Mayor Hampton,
on charge of keeping disorderly
house. Fifteen witnesses were pres
ent but their testimony was not called
for at the hearing, as the woman
waived hearing and gave bail for
Court. The "ginger gang" will not
be likely to bother the neighbors to-
morrow as on previous Sundays.
The ginger house will be closed.

SETTLING BIG
ELECTION BETS.
New Workers Passing Large Sums
of Money.

New York, Nov. 9.-This was the
day Of reckoning between the men
who bet on Mckinley and those who
pinned their faith and their cash to
the cause of Bryan. Election bets
were paid off in Wall Street to-day,
and it is estimated that 50, 600, 900
changed hands in the financial dis
trict alone. 1t is believed that as
much money was deposited in hotels
and saloons, and with private stake
holders.
The largest individual winner
known about Wall Street is Louis
Wormser, whose gains are put at
$l25, 900. To win this, Wormser had
to risk about $500, ZOO. Nearly all his
bets were straight at 2, 219, and to
l that Mckinley would be reelected.
Richard Croker is said to be the
heaviest loser. His loss is put at
S75, 900. Wormser gets $40, 900 of this,
it is said.
Frederick III. Brooks, a broker,
stood to win S188, 600 and lose S45, 500.
He lost. M. B. Mendham, a broker,
for himself and others, wagered
1922, 500 against s5, 900 on Mckinley
and won.
Jacob Field, a broker, won close to
S35, 900. He made one bet Of $40, 900
to S1O,0 900 on Mckinley.
Other large winners were ex-Sheriff
Buttling, $4,000 Edward Wasserman,
SIS, 900; Colonel I'll. g. Duval, $4, 1000;
Orlando Jones, $4,000.

The Prohibition Vote.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-At the National
Prohibition headquarters it was es-
timated last night that the total vote
in the nation would exceed 400, 900.
This estimate was based on the re-
ceipt of about 400 kilograms received
from twenty-eight States. This is
more than three times the vote cast
for Levering in 1896.
Mr.. Wooley anticipates a vote ap-
preaching 500, 900 basing his claims
upon the country precincts, which
are yet to report. Indiana, Michi-
gan. New York, and Pennsylvania
are thought to have polled Prohioi-
tlon vote fully four times as large as
in 1896. Illinois is estimated at
nearly three times the vote of 1896.
or $1,000.

Sold Out.

The stock and fixtures of Ross BIZ
cycle establishment, was sold out at
mortgages sale Saturday afternoon.
1t is the last of the bicycle stores to
close. What a change. But a few
years ago there were half dozen BIZ
cycle establishments in Bridgeton,
and all doing rushing business.
Scores, hundreds of machines were
sold, and repair shops were busy
night and day. Now but one or two
firms are making the business promi-
nent and there are few wheels sold in
comparison with three years since.
The bicycle is now used only for
business.

He should not be elected. and it is
