IT is TURNED OVER.
Library Directors Take Charge OF
the Gilbert NJ. Simmons
Memorial Library.
WILL MOVE ON MONDAY NEXT
No Formalities Mark the Transfer of the
Beautiful Building TO the Directors.
win be Ready in a Week

Without Any formalities the Gilbert
NJ. Simmons Memorial Library was
turned over to the directors recently
elected by the Council on Friday after
noon and preparations for moving are
being made.
AS soon as Mr.. Simmons said the
word Commissioner Joseph Bendt took
charge of the building and today
women are at work scrubbing the floors
and getting the place in shape for the
removal of the city library, which viii
begin next week.
The building and all equipments are
now completed with the exception of
the shades for the lamps in the stock
room and Mr.. Simmons was unwilling
to keep the patrons of the library witt
ing longer, so that these few things
will have to be completed after the
books have been transferred. 1t is ex-
pected that the cleaning will be finish
ed this afternoon aud the moving viii
begin Monday morning. The directors
are of the opinion that it will require
about week to install the library in
the new building and from this com
putation they announce that it will be
open for the use of the public every
day after July 10th.
A great deal of work will have to
be done in connection with the NOV
ing. The new books have been pur-
chased and it will be necessary for the
Librarians to get them ready to be
placed upon ne shelves, and besides
this fact many volumes have been re-
ceived since the library closed which
will have to be catalogued aud marked.
Mrs. Barnes and her assistants, Misses
Lyman and Russell, are now at work
on this work and will have it com
p1eted by the time the library is
moved.
AS yet the directors have taken no
action to elect a successor to Miss
Haw1ey as assistant librarian, but it is
probable that one of the assistants
will be advanced to the position made
vacant by the sad death of Miss Haw-
ley.
The glad news that the library is to
be opened in so short a time will be
received with great deal of JOY.
1t is possible that later in the year
some formal dedication of the library
will be held, but no plans have been
made for such ceremonies at this time.

WY !

AS there has been more or less of
adverse criticism upon our early clos
ing, it may be- well to state our reasons,
for this step.
The hours of the employees in our
stores are both long and arduous;
twelve to fourteen hours a day, a work
ing period too continuous, even for the
proprietor, whose heart is in his busi-
ness and its success.
There is another point in favor of
this early closing, particularly during
the Summer months, and it is an inn
portant point to the employer! No
salesman or sa1eswoman can possibly
bring to his or her work that bright,
alert hearing and quick response to d
patron S glance or request if he or she
be exhausted by overwork. Nor is it
possible for man or woman to exercise
the patience and unvarying courtesy
so necessary in employees in our line,
when fatigued by long hours of exact
ing service.
Our thought is this! During the
months of July, August and Septemb Der,
beginning with Tuesday, July 10th,
we, the undersigned, will close onr
stores promptly at O'Clock p. m. on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of each week.
From tke public, and our patron
generally, we ask but fair test f the
new plan, and only desire that you bear
patiently with the Innovation, which
will become no hardship or annoyance
to you, S you become accustomed to
its workings, whi1eit confers T lea sure.

Edward Abel has been mentioned as

Mr.. Abel has been under sheriff several
years and is in every way an excellent
officer. He is one of the most popular
young men in the county and would
add considerable strength to the ticket
if nominated.
County politics are exceedingly dull
and only the men who are looking for
the p1ums are taking any interest in
the contest. From all Indications
there will be few candidates, 50 far as
the Republicans are concerned. Dur
ing the past two years the officers in
the county building have made excel
lent records and all of them will I'M
doubted1y be returned for another
term. The only fight will be for the
nomination Of sheriff, but will not be
hot enough to make UP for any lack of
interest in the other contests.

Hicks October Weather.

Rev. Hicks, whose forecast of the
West India storm that brought such a
calamity the gulf coast has issued the
following October forecast: The first
three days of the month viii be central
days of a Vulcan storm period. Brisk
autumnal ~-inds, with electrical storms
in some loca aIities may be expected. A
reactionary storm disturbance is due
from the 9th to Sth. The conditions
are almost identical with those existing
at the time of the great cyclone which
DESTROYED Galveston. While he does
not expect anything like q repetition of
that satal storm we may look for mark
ed storm conditions. Much cooler
weather will be natural behind this
storm. The next stor1c period will cul
inmate about the 12t1, bringing cold
weather in the wake. Natures regular
swing back 10 storm conditions will be
natural from the IL to the 20. The next
Vulcan period will be central on the
oath and more rain, wind and snow will
be the natural consequence up to the
25th. Quite severe gales on the lakes
and North Atlantic coast should be
apprehended al this time. A sharp
cold wave for the season will spread
over the county, from about the 25th TO
the 2Sth. Octo.or will come to a close
with a reactionary storm about the Goth
and Both, with cold weather advancing
from the west as a month goes out.
