British and Beers

ment, today. finally and definitely re-
fused to take the initiative in behalf Of
arbitration between the Transvaal and

Mr. Kruger and DIR. Leyds and the Dutch

explained that the object of his journey
was to disseminate the idea of arbitration
and the Dutch ministers replied that the
role of the Netherlands must be passive.

the Dutch government might see what 1t
could do.

London. Dec. 1.-THE Evening Stan

Knog and Gen. DeWet continues, and
the forces necessarily change ground.
Lack of definite information on the

While the war office is most reticent
on the subject there are indications
that the officials have received reports
suggesting considerable British sue

There is but single medicine which
is a radical specific for catarrh. It is
Peruna, which has stood half century
test. 1t has cured thousands of cases Of
catarrh. Ninety times in hundred,
those who have been cured Of catarrh by
Peruna thought they had some other

Newark Advertiser: Were it only
a Pettigrew that asked the question,
how many saloons have been estab
lished iii Manila since the occupation
of that city by the United States forces,
how much liquor is sold, and how ma
ny saloons there were before we oecu-
pied the place, it would not be worth
wasting time 70 reply.
But the same question has been asked
by many people who are not Petit
Crews; who honestly believe in tenn
perance, and who earnestly hope to
shield our soldiers from the evils of
alcoholism, and fear lest we may be
setting wicked example to our new
wards in the Philippines. These in
quirsrs are entitled to all the light
that can be thrown upon the subject.
In the first place, alcoholic beverages
are no novelty in the Philippines.
Every house is saloon, and every
native his own distiller. All that a
native has to do to obtain his intoxi-
cant is to tap cocoanut tree and col
lect the juice; it ferments quickly and
in few hours is as full OF alcohol as a
cocktail. This native drink is called
tuba, and our soldiers have written
home telling how skins of tuba hang
at every natives bed-post.

Cleveland Going FiShlny.

The recent sensational reports to the
effect that former President Cleveland
is very sick man and likely to die
soon from n complication of maladies.
all of which were stated to be of fatal
character and any of which was likely
to kill its victim of hand, were made
rather absurd last Monday by Mr..
Cleveland's vigorous preparations for
prolonged and arduous fishing tour
in different parts of Florida
The party of fishermen will consist
of ex-Secretary of War Lamont, DIR.
Bryant and Commodore Benedict, OF
New York At Tampa they will prob
ably be joined by Joseph Jefferson.
The party has no exact itinerary, and.
as it travels in special car, it will go
wherever the sport promises to be tho
most alluring.
The former president has suffered
recently with rheumatism in the foot.
but he is now entirely recovered from
the attack, and il actually in robust
health and most keen to start on the
fishing trip with his old friends.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State Committee
met at the Trenton House yesterday
afternoon, and fixed Thursday, April
10th, as the date for the Republican
State Convention, which will be held
in Taylor Opera House. At this con.
yention delegates will be elected to
the National Republican Convention
to be held in Philadelphia in June.
The committee endorsed the nomi-
nation made by Governor Voorhees,, of
William Riksr, Jr., of Newark, a mem
Der at large Of tho State Committee, to
succeed the late Vice President Gar
rett A. Hobart. Governor Voorhees,
named Mr.. Riker under the rules of
the party which gives to the nominee
for Governor the appointment of four
committeeman at large.
There was an impression that the
State Committee would select sue
cessor to Mr.. Hobart as the New Jer-
sey representative on the Republi-
can National Committee, but an
nouncement was made yesterday that
United States Senator John Kean had
been named to fill the vacancy tempo
rarily, in accordance with suggestion
made by Chairman Murphy. Senator
Kean will not be candidate for the
position after tho National Conyen-
ton, at which permanent successor
| will be named.
The impression prevails among the
members that the four delegates at
| large from New Jersey to the National
| Convention will he united States Sen
stors William J. Sewell and John
Kean, Chairman Franklin Murphy and
Barker Gummere, Jr, Of this city.
The question of endorsing the move
ment in favor of abolishing the Spring
elections was discussed, and after m
interchange of opinion, n vote was
taken, and the committee voted 8 to
in favor of the scheme, with the I'M
dsrstanding that the proposed law
should be made to apply only to the
cities. It is not, however, deemed
likely that such law will be passed at
tho present session of the Legislature.

DIR. Leslie T.. Kelley, of gold cure
fame, died suddenly at his winter home
in Los Angeles, California, last week.
He had gone there recently from his
home in Dwight, Illinois. Dir. Kelley
was of Irish extraction and spent his
early years in st. Lawrence county,
N. Y. He served for u time as an army
surgeon and then settled at Dwight,
where he continued experiments, re-
sulting in the announcement that, af-
ter twenty years of laborious appliea-
ton to the task he had set himself to
accomplish, he had discovered cure
for drunkenness. This is the system
known us the Kelley gold cure, and
applied to the treatment and cure of
inebriety and the use of narcotic drugs
at the Kelley institutes in different
parts of this country. Many persons
VINO have subjected themselves 10 the
treatment have subsequently organized
themselves into 'gold clubs" which
in turn have formed national organi-
cation known as the Kelley League.

The report of the New Jersey Blu
rsau of Statistics for the year just
closed contains a valuable statement
showing prices of leading commodities
which make up tho greater part Of the
cost of living in every household.
Prices charged in many localities in
different parts of New Jersey were OBJ
tanned. Similar figures were publish
cd for the preceding year. OF the
forty-eight articles on the list, twenty
ssyen show decrease and sixteen an
increase in price for 1899 as compared
with 1893, five articles showing the
same price for both years. The vari-
ations in prices are not very great
either way, except in flour, which
shows n decrease for the frat and
second grade per barrel OF 81.
aud Sl.65, respectively. Potatoes al
so show considerable decrease in
price, whites being nineteen and
sweets thirteen cents lower per bushel
than in 1893.
The total amount OF reduction IN
prices OF the twenty-seven articles in
-s'a',-s- A. St.. - ao.-a
and total increase in prices of the
sixteen articles that show nm increase
is nineteen cents. There is, therefore
net decrease in tho cost OF the entire
list ms compared with 1898 of SO. 55.
The report says that the results reach
ed IN this comparison of prices are
highly valuable and interesting, de-
monstrating as they do that the cost
OF the necessaries of life have not been
increased by the war revenue law OF
1903.

LAMBERTvILLE. N. J.
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7, 1900.
FisI, Laws.

The Trenton State Gazette "hits
the nail on the head" in the following
comments:
The New Jersey fish and game laws
are being gradually framed for the
benefit of the town-bred sportsmen.
The birds of the air, the animals Of
the fields and the fish OF tho waters
are withdrawn further and further
from the reach of those who most need
them for food purposes, and placed
within the range of the gentleman
from the city who shoots and hooks
for the fun Of the thing.
The latest move in behalf of Isaac
from the town was made by Senator
Reed, who had Senate bill No. 60 so
amended as to prevent fishing for
pike through ice.
In New Jersey, and in about every
other Eastern State, food for poor
families living in back country dis
triets is procured by fisaing through
ice, but the sportsman WE fishes for
PIKE during the summer season, Just
for fun, imagines that the Winter fish
erman interferes with his sport and
that he should be prevented from do
ing so, even though food is taken out
OF the mouths of his family.
The Legislature ought to end the
trouble at once by indicating spot
on the shore of each pond and lake in
the State where the man who wants
to fish to eat may stand and angle for
: them certain length Of time on GER
tain days in certain months OF certain
years.
The Rod and Reel Society must be
protected, no matter what the cost
may be to the Hungry Stomach As
