PITMAN GROVE.

What with two coon hunts, fox chase,
ine weather, etc, Pitman has been very
lively for the past week. One coon hunt
by daylight afforded fairly good sport for
men and dogs, but it did not compare with
the hunt by moonlight after the same old
coon, who gave the dogs and party about
all they wanted in tho last run. Coon,
dogs, men and boys ran through the woods,
across the fields, over fences for more than
two miles until they were all pretty we'll
tired out. The fox chase on Tuesday was
not as satisfactory as the crowd had hoped
it would be. The fox. fine big red fellow,
was let loose at 1.20 p. M, and started in a
leisurely manner across field to the woods
about five hundred yards away. After a
twenty minute start the dogs were let
10 Sc, first a single trailer for about one
hundred yards, and then the whole pack,
about thirty of them, started with rush ;
the best of them took the trail at once and
IN jitfy all were out of sight in the woods
The hunters on horseback, afoot and in
vehicles of almost every description spread
out rapidly in all directions occupying
every road and every available opening in
the direction the fox and dogs had gone,
but in very few minutes they were ali
taking the back trail, for here came a
young man out of the woods carrying the
dead Reynard, who instead of hurrying on
about his business, must have stopped to
play as soon as he was out of sight, and
hence came to grief to the great disappoint-
ment of everyone; but the "boysn were
not to be cheated so easily out of their an
ticipated sport and determined to have a
chase anyway. Two or three of the Man
tua young men skinned the forequarters,
leaving the front feet and head with the
skin, tied piece of tarred rope through the
under jaw,passed the whole thing to Jointly
KIndle, who well mounted upon his gray
charger, started off across the country at a
good gait dragging the stiff or remnant
thereof, after him. After giving Jointly
good start the dogs were put on the trail.
and | tell you that Jointly put some of
them to the test for he proved almost as
foxy" as any old fox, excepting in running
rail fences, in fact more SO that the late
lamented portions of which accompanied
him of course, and arrived back at the
goal" in good style, after a two mile run
through woods and across fields, lust as the
foremost dog reached the drag The
dogs ran well the entire trail and came in
home in great form in full view of the large
crowd gathered which contained many
ladies. We are going to have another as
soon as another fox has time to arrive.

"Emlyn School closedn-that is a news
item, 'but why did it close?p that is the
question, whether it was closed by the
order of the County Superintendent or the
Township Board of Education or the
School Clerk" seems to be a secret, and
there's the ruh. The school known as the
Emlyn District School, after having been
opened for the past five months, was alb
ruptly closed last Friday and the teacher
transferred to Knights Run school. and the
scholars taken in at the BaFnsboro school,
and taxable valuation of property to the
tune of hundred Thousand dollars sit
mated ID az agricultural community has
m
school laws.
Now, take facts-Sl00000 taxable val
uation in farming district, nice, pleasant
school house, and few scholars.
The rate Of state school tax for 1899 was
30 cents on 800 valuation, the rate town
ship school tax is "a cents on 500 val
nation, making a total of "a cents, or $64O
minus cost and fees, which said farming
district contributes towards education, and
the farmers have an empty school house
and free transportation for a few scholars
TO attend school somewhere else.
Thus go back dozen years, say 1888,
the rate for state school was the same as
now, Boo, the rate for district school was
l0c. making 40 cents on 800 valuation,
or $500, minus fees, but enough left to hire
a good teacher to teach few children that
did not need any transportation.
Now this is the way to look at this
Emlyn school matter In 1888 the taxable
valuation paid $500 for school purposes, in
! 1899 that district was taxed $640 for five
months of school aud transportation for a
few scholars for the balance of the term.
II there ever were urjust laws those re-
lating to the public schools take precedence
over all others

The German vote is practically lost to
the Republican party on account of its

adopting the policy of imperialism and
militaryism. The sturdy Teuton did not

The Republicans of New Jersey propose
to demand the nomination of Attorney.
General Griggs for the Vice Presidency
next year This is eminently proper. Mr..
Hobart was from New Jersey, the trusts
obtain their characters in New jersey, and
Attorney General Griggs, citizen of that
State, has virtually repealed the antitrust
law by refusing to enforce it. Griggs should
by all means receive the nomination OF the

The North american is accounting for
the big Republican msjoriiies in Philadel
phia, by comparing the assessors lists with
the actual residents. It has proved all its
allegations to date in court, and number
of good Republican workers are now
fugitiyes from justice through its instru-
mentality. Its latest revelation is that 3S
per cent. of the names on the Fifth Ward
lists are fraudulent. and this is the smallest
per centage of fraud yet uncovered. Edi-

The gulleys that had worked across the
path, along the Timber creek promenade,
and which were a menace to numan 10,
have been filed up by order of the New
bold Improvement Company .notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Company's agent, Mr.
Barker, disclaimed any responsibility on
the part of the Company when Mr.. Harry
Cohill fell into one of the man-traps and
sprained his shoulder few weeks ago.
There is something else to which the Com
pany should pay little attention SO as
to keep the creek bank in order, and that
is, to caution the owners of vag grant horses
against running at large along the streets
of Newbold, where they feed most Of the
time, and it is in great measure due to
their climbing up and down the bank of
the creek in their search for water that
these gulleys are worn. They gnaw the
bark from the trees, and also trespass on
all the unfenced lots, and are a general
nuisance to the community. Of late years
it has been the custom of the owners OF
some of the dung barges that ply up and
down the creek to land their crafts up to
the Newbold side, under the shade of the
trees and repair them. If little thing
like a tree stands in their way, they think
nothing Of cutting it down, and the path
where pedestrians travel, is Uttered up for
weeks at a time with the cuttings and
debris from these repairs. A few years ago
the Newbold Company issued prospectus
calling attention to Photographic view of
The beautiful promenade along Timber
creek but owing to the acts of the van
dals mentioned above, the beautiful
promenade" is thing of the pact. C c.

INFORMATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
Brewers Win In Tax Case

Judge Kohlsaat has granted a judg.
ment to the Conrad Seipp Brewing
Company, of Chicago, Illinois. in the suit
which it has been pushing against the
United States Collector OF Internal
Revenue, F. E. Coyne. This decision
means much to the brewers OF the
country and the granting Of this iudg.
ment was followed Immediately by the
same order In seven other similar cases
IN which as many different breweries
are complainants.
In July, 1898, the Government raised
the duty on beer. The breweries knew
that the advance was to take place upon
a certain day and purchased large
amounts of revenue stamps before the
price went up. After the tax was raised
the Government refused to accept these
stamps at the valuation at which they
had been purchased. The brewers paid
the difference, but the same time started
suits for rebates on their payments.
The suits were decided in favor Of the
breweries some time ago and they
received IA per cent rebate, which is
equal to the amount they paid under
protest. Not satisfied with this, they
began suit for costs and interest on their
money up TO the time of the judgments.
They have been victorious this also.

barrels of beer. Later he will erect a
stable with room for 90 horses on the
